(Krimsun POV)
"Ok, now let me to tell you more about my family… The Leonhart family." Leo said, pausing dramatically.
"Ok, so to start off…" As Leo said this he turned to his computer and opened Seape (Like Skype but with Sea instead) and started calling someone.
"Hello? Anyone there?" The voice of a young girl flowed from the computer's speakers.
"Yeah, Ember, it's me." Leo said, turning on the video camera.
"Ah! Onii-chan!" as soon as Ember found out it was Leo, a girl about 13 years old with brown hair and a low side pony tail popped onto the screen.
"She so cuuuuute!" Yang called out the moment she saw Ember, causing everyone to crowd around the computer.
"Oh, Onii-sama, do you have a girlfriend?" Ember asked, seeing the girl in the room, which immediately caused Leo to both blush and end up in a coughing fit.
"No, She's 2 years older than me and her name is Yang, the one wearing the red that her sister Ruby she about the same age as me…" Leo corrected Ember as he recovered and introduced the girls in the room
"Oh… so you're still singl-" Ember was interrupt by Leo.
"Let's save this conversation for another time Ember." Leo said through his gritted teeth. Clearing his throat, he continued. "Can you tell them about our family and its past please." Leo urged Ember to move on from the awkward topic and on to the matter at hand.
"Ah, Onii-sama, did you tell people you were a half-faunus again?" Ember complained while puffing her cheeks.
'She never did like it when he leaked information like that out to people she didn't know, let alone trust.' thought Leo with a smile.
"I never said I was going to keep it a secret." Leo countered as Ember pouted even more.
"sigh Fine. As you've heard already, I'm Ember Leonhart, Krim's younger sister. I going to answer all the questions you have on our family because Onii-sama lost his memory and can never memories all of it." Ember introduced herself to everyone after much delay.
"Ok. To start off, who are they?" Weiss asked first.
"The Leonhart family is an ancient family founded by our ancestors after the Great War. Since most styles at the time were fashioned to fight against other humans, using them against Grimm would have been, for the most part, ineffective…" Ember paused as she looked down at what Leo assumes to be a note pad and continued. "However, the style our ancestor had created, for some odd reason, was fairly effective against the creatures, though later most of the moves were changed in order to be even more effective against them thus resulting in the offensive techniques to be less effective against humans."
"So, my guess is that the people of that time went over to learn it?" Silver threw out a hypothesis, which Ember quickly answered, "Yeah, but not really. You see, not all people could use the moves we taught because of the semblances, so we had classes on the theory too."
Ember thought for a short while before giving an example, "For example: Weiss Schnee over there is most likely using a style that was originally designed by one of the students of the theory class".
"That still doesn't explain about them now." Blake asked curiously.
*Ring* *Ring*
"Uh oh, I have to go. Class is going to start, I'll tell you another time. Bye!" Ember turned off Seape before answering Blake's question so they all turned to Leo.
"Hey, I don't know anything." Leo informed them that he knew nothing, and they all sighed. "Anyway I have to go too." Leo added as he grabbed the handle of the door.
Silver asked something, but Leo didn't hear it was he already closed the door.
(Silver POV)
After Silver was ignored he turned to see the amount of people in the room and finally notice something…
'It's too cramped for 15 people...' Silver thought as in moment he moved his arm he bumped into someone.
"You guys should leave since Leo's not here anymore. I would very much like to be able to have room to breathe again." Ramer informed everyone as they began to notice there was no space.
When everyone left, the 3 boys stretched their limbs before the phone rung.
Walking over to the phone Ramer picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hello Ramer." said the person sipping coffee on the other end of the phone. Recognizing the familiar sound of coffee being sipped, he immediately knew who it was.
"Oh, Prof. Ozpin, what do you need?" Ramer asked over the phone.
"Hmm, okay… sure… got it..." Ramer replies suddenly became less cheerful and when he put the phone down he sighed.
"Do you guys so happen to have any winter clothes?" Ramer asked all of them, they both responded with a no.
"Well, we need to go shopping, A certain councilor of Mistral requested our help." Ramer sighed again, Silver realized which consular it was by Ramer expressions.
"Don't tell me… is it him?" Silver asked Ramer & Ramer instantly knew who Silver was referring too. And he nodded with a frown, obviously not pleased.
"Urgh, ok…" Silver grumbled as he rose from his chair. "Ok let's go."
"But why winter?" Bloodraven asked. with his monotone voice.
"The Councilor has summoned us to his mansion, which is north of Mistral." Ramer explained as the walked through the hallways.
(Ramer POV)
-Later in town after shopping for winter equipment-
"Okay, we're done!" Silver tiredly exclaimed as he slumped on a chair in the café.
"Who would have thought we would need so many clothes for winter?" Bloodraven added, slight exhaustion slipping into his voice.
"Well I need something to drink, Ramer can you get me a Lemon grass tea please." Silver said lazily as he asked his purple clothed friend to get him something.
"Hey! I'm not your slave!" Ramer shouted back.
"Hmm, I will have a flat white and a chocolate cake." Bloodraven gave Ramer his order, completely uncaring his opinion.
"Ugh...Fine…" Ramer gave up as he got up and grumpily walked towards the Bar counter. "...Slave drivers…" he mumbled under his breath.
"Hey, can I get a-" Ramer stopped talking due to shock after the barista turned around.
"LEO!?" Ramer accidentally shouted out the name of his teammate that was behind the counter.
"Oh, Ramer? What can I get you?" Leo was unfazed by the appearance of Ramer and continued working.
"Ah, 1 Lemon grass tea, 1 flat white, 1 chocolate cake and a peach juice. Ramer gave his order in his normal tone. After that, he cleared his throat. "What are you doing here?!" Ramer got back on topic with a surprised voice.
"You know how Ember and I don't have parents?" Leo reminded Ramer. As he poured hot water through some lemongrass and a bag of tea, and left it to soak with cinnamon, apple skin, and some sort of syrup.
"Yeah? what about it?" Ramer still didn't get it.
"Well, since Ember is too young to work, I have to work part-time jobs, while she manages training classes at the dojo." Leo explained to Ramer as he made poured milk into the freshly made coffee and cut out a slice of chocolate cake. 'So that's what she meant by classes.' Ramer thought as he remembered the previous conversation with the young Leonhart girl.
"Okay, but why a café? You could have worked somewhere else and got more money." Ramer wondered.
"You'll see…" Leo said with a smirk as he poured a mix of sparkling and plain water into a cup peach syrup with a mix of herbs and a sliced lemon, before adding some, roughly, crushed ice into it.
"Ok, 1 Lemon grass tea, 1 flat white coffee, 1 chocolate cake, and 1 peach juice. That would be…18 Lien." Leo told Ramer the price and Ramer paid with a 3 Lien tip.
"Oh, Ramer why did it take so long?" Silver asked his purple friend.
"Oh, Leo works here and I was asking him stuff." Ramer informed the rest of his teammates about his conversation with Leo.
"Well...That certainly was a surprise." Silver took a sip of his Lemongrass tea and froze.
"Hmm, indeed-" Bloodraven agreed before he froze as well after he ate a piece of the chocolate cake. His eyes widened in surprise as the fork dropped from his hand.
"Hey, you guys what happened?" Ramer asked, slightly creeped out by their expressions.
'Are the food and drinks bad?' Ramer thought to himself as he stared cautiously at his cup of juice.
Ramer slowly lifted his cup and, carefully, took a sip from its straw. And he too froze.
'It's just juice… but how… IS IT THIS GOOD!?' before Ramer knew it he had an empty glass in front of him, and was craving more.
He looked around and found that Bloodraven and Silver were in a similar situation.
"So how is it?" Leo came around to their table.
"...1 more please..." all of them said in unison as they passed Leo 36 Lien.
"Okay then." Leo said as he immediately came around with a tray.
After their 3rd serving (7th for Bloodraven), they all sighed in bliss. Bloodraven even smiled as he scooped what crumbs were left into his mouth.
"...Could I have a takeaway consisting of 2,354 of those chocolate cakes by any chance?" Bloodraven questioned innocently as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Who knew Leo was such a damn good chef!" Silver complimented Leo. Ramer and Bloodraven could only nod in agreement.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" Leo asked as he sat down.
"Well, a Counselor of Mistral called us. He said he would like for us to come to his mansion in 2 weeks." Ramer informed.
"Wait... isn't 2 week a bit early to call for someone?" Leo inquired and Ramer explained shortly.
"Well, considering it takes around 3 days to sail to Mistral docks, 1 day to fly by airship to the north and another 2 day hike to get to his icy mansion. In total it takes a week to get to Mistral." Ramer told the team about the ridiculous amount of traveling they had to do to get to the Counselor.
"This is why I hate going to Mistral!" Silver blurted out, and Ramer understood.
"So that only leaves us 1 week to prepare for the trip, which include supply gathering (2 days at least), training and classes, and when we get back we will have hell to deal with, more notably homework." Ramer laid out all of the cons of going on the mission.
"Which is why I have used one of my contact to get you there in half the time." A familiar voice came from behind Silver, which caused everyone to jump.
"Prof. Ozpin!? What are you doing here!?" Silver yelled, standing ramrod straight as he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the headmaster, who was still sipping his trademark coffee.
"Easy now. So, as I was saying. Since it takes too long to get to Mistral, I got one of my contacts to escort you to your destination." As Ozpin said this he showed a picture of him, the school, a lot of airships and James Ironwood, General of the…
'Wait, don't tell me…' Ramer looked at the picture and he immediately knew who he called.
"THE ATLESIAN MILITARY!?" All of them shouted loud enough that the next block could hear them, excluding the unsurprised Bloodraven of course.
"Yep. They do have the fastest airships in the world after all, so it would only take half the time to reach Mistral." Ozpin confirmed their guess with a hearty laugh.
"...Wait a minute...There's a catch isn't there." Leo felt that something was off and asked the headmaster.
"Yes, in exchange for the use of military technology…" Ozpin looked around and saw the extra cup of coffee and drank some, causing him to go wide eyed.
"I would like you to make coffee for all the staff, for the rest of your time in this school." Ozpin set his demands and Leo agreed, making Ozpin smile with glee.
"Good, now off you go, you will need enough time to prepare for the trip. But I will advise you to train as much as possible. The military will only bring you to the north, then you will have to journey the rest of the way on your own…" Ozpin smile faded as he warned the group. Which they responded to with a nod.
" I will also be sending others to accompany you." Ozpin informed the group and they wondered who that group might be.
When Ozpin exited the shop, Leo was off duty and they went to buy supplies.
(Krimsun POV)
-Later back in their room-
"Urgh, finally we're done!" Silver exclaimed, as he collapsed on his bed.
"Affirmative." Bloodraven confirmed, as he turned to look at what could only be described as a mountain of shopping bags.
"..." Everyone was resting in silence. Then Leo brought something up.
"You guys know how Prof. Ozpin said that we should train…"
"..." he was greeted with more silence as he looked around the room...
Everyone had fallen asleep.
'I guess that was to be expected.' Leo thought to himself as he looked at the clock. It was currently midnight.
'And how the hell did Bloodraven fall asleep while standing up?!' he mentally questioned as his most enigmatic teammate softly snored from his position against the wall.
"Looks like you might be needing us soon." a voice rang in his head..
"I doubt so. I'm not weak." Krimsun answered back to the voice, without a hint of surprise or hesitation.
"Well, we'll see whether you can make that declaration come true." The voice rang out again. Leo just shrugged and looked at the window, to see a fiery and icy auras emanating from something.
"I might not need it but my friends might, so keep a low profile." Krimsun instructed the voice and one of them agreed, "...As you command, Master..."
"Stop calling me that!, Just call me Krimsun or Krim." Krimsun said exasperated. He looked at the fiery aura at the window and saw a nod, "Anyway, just stay hidden for now. I'm going to sleep." as Krimsun said this, the auras disappeared as if they were never there in the first place.
-Next Morning-
*Yawn*
Krimsun tiredly got up from his bed. It was 6:25. He was about to go do some 'light' training and practice some sword swings until he remembered what Ozpin said, "In exchange for the use of military technology… (sip)...I would like you to make coffee for all the staff for the rest of your time in this school."
With a sigh Krimsun went to fulfill his part of the promise. Walking to the staff lounge in his school uniform.
While walking he saw Prof. Ozpin holding an empty thermos flask, to remind him about the promise, 'yeah yeah, don't worry i remember' Leo thought to himself as Prof. Ozpin led him through a shortcut to the staff lounge.
Leo looked to see a large cylindrical building just behind the Beacon tower. Walking inside Leo expected only to need to fill one or 2 thermos flasks until…
'WHAT THE IN GOD'S NAME IS ALL THAT!' Leo cursed in his head as he saw that all the teachers had, at least, 3 flasks to themselves. But Prof. Ozpin and Dr. Oobleck had 10 WHOLE THERMOS to themselves EACH!
Leo's jaw dropped by the sheer amount of coffee he needed to make. "Well, you had best hurry." Prof. Ozpin informed him as he pointed to a mountain of high quality coffee grounds.
-Several Hours Later-
"Urgh... why and how do you drink so much coffee?!" Leo complained as he slumped on the side of the table.
"Well Leo I will be honest…it is a mystery even I don't understand." Ozpin smirked as he already emptied half of the 2nd flask.
"That's coming from one of the people who drinks the most." Leo sighed as he got ready to leave.
"Hahaha! That is true. Well, I will be looking forward to...sampling...the batch you make tomorrow." Ozpin cackled evilly as Leo ran towards the dining hall, in an attempt to escape the nightmare.
-In the Dining hall-
"OOOOOYYY, LEO! OVER HERE" the voice of his overly optimistic captain invaded his ears as members of teams RWBY, JNPR, and MHGY waving at him as he entered the hall.
Leo smiled as he grabbed his breakfast and sat in the free seat, next to Ramer.
"Itadakimasu" Leo whispered to himself as he picked up his chopsticks and started to consume his breakfast, which was fried fish, a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice.
As Leo chewed on his food. He looked up to be greeted by the curious look on his friends faces.
"What?" Leo swallowed, raising an eyebrow at their expressions.
"Nothing really… except for that weird breakfast of yours." Pyrrha spoke out for the group which caused Leo to chuckle a little.
"Oh! Sorry, for me, and others from the east of Vale or those that have come from Vacuo, this is normal, especially if your family is as traditional as mine." Leo explained to his group of friends as he continued to eat his food.
"Hehe… for being a lion, you sure don't act like one." Ruby giggled as she commented on how Leo and the animal part of him are not completely in sync.
"Well… i did say i was HALF faunus" Leo reminded them with a joking tone, emphasizing on the word "half", as his ears popped up from under his hair, inciting laughter from the most of his friends.
"hahaha!" Leo could hear the his friends laugh and joy, and couldn't help but start smiling and joining them.
"hahahaha!"
"hahaha-! *Crash* *Shatter*" Leo was cut short when his face was smashed into his bowl.
"Man. what a freak. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE FREAK!" the one responsible screeched out as he carried Leo up by his hair and punched him in the gut.
Cough!- cough cough
"Man, Your worst then an animal, you're a freak, you're not human nor are you a faunus what are you then, FREAK!" The perpetrator then followed up by smashing Leo face into the floor. Leo looked up at the corner of his eye to see an orange-head staring down at him.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? I said it just now I'm Half-Human, Half-Faunus" Leo screamed in a rage as he broke free of his grip and spun on his hands, at the same time roundhouse kicking him, knocking his bully to the ground face first.
Ooof!
"-Hey, that hurt!" His attacker, who on closer inspection was Cardin Winchester, charged at Leo grabbing his foot.
"Sh*t!" Leo swore in surprise as Cardin smashed him into a table breaking it in half and sending splinters into his back.
"Ha! From that performance the other day i thought you were pretty strong, but i guess i thought wrong. guess that guy in purple must have cheated to get into beacon." That comment alone made Leo snap.
Leo suddenly twisted out of Cardin grip and punches him so hard it blasts cardin into a wall, shattering a window close to the point of impact.
Cardin, obviously pissed, charged at Leo, but was easily dodged. as Leo was about to strike Cardin neck, he was stopped.
Cardin's teammates were restraining him. He attempted to break out off their grasps but a surge of pain from his back stopped him.
"Well you're a real piece of work aren't you, well now Cardin over here is going to teach you a lesson." As Cardin mocked him, he punched Leo over and over again without any peculiar style, all they had in them was pure strength and it hurt like hell.
"Not so tough now HUH!?" Cardin started to laugh as he deliver the final punched which sent Leo into a half broken glass pane, giving him cuts and scratches all over his body.
"Wait what!" Cardin looked shocked to see Leo so badly injured and started panicking and screaming "I didn't do it!".
"ENOUGH!" Glynda came rushing into the hall as she looked at Leo badly bruised and scratched body," Someone get him to the infirmary immediately!"
(Silver POV)
Silver was the first to snap out of it and immediately went to Leo to check his condition.
"Oh crap, not good, there are glass shards stuck in his back. SOMEONE GET A STRETCHER!" Silver examined Leo and called for help.
"Is there anything i can do to help?" Honey asked Silver.
"Can you stop the pain?" Silver questioned and she responded with a nod. "Ok, quickly! I need you to numb the pain and stop the bleeding but not heal the wounds until the glass shards are removed!" ordered Silver as Honey got to work.
Before long Glacier and Ramer ran in with a stretcher. They quickly but carefully loaded Leo on the stretcher and Silver took notice of Leo pain expression.
"Honey! I thought you said you could stop the pain!?" Silver turned to the Blonde.
"I'm trying, but its not working!" She complained in confusion.
"Here, let me try." Glacier hovered his hands over Leo and froze him solid.
"That kind of works I guess. BRaven! Carry the stretcher in place of Glacier!" Silver ordered the calm teammate as Bloodraven nodded an affirmative.
"Quick! Go, and be carefull!" Silver advised them as Blood, Ramer, Glacier, and Honey went to the infirmary.
'Cardin, you're going to pay for this you racist little prick!' Silver gritted his teeth as he thought of the one responsible.
-In Combat classes-
"Today's match will be Silver Mageturn and Glacier Alceg Vs Team CRDL ." Glynda called out while looking at the interface of her Scroll.
Silver menacingly smiled as he equipped his combat gear, dark thoughts running through his mind. 'You're going to pay!'
(Ruby POV)
"Hey guys." Ruby and the rest of the teams turned to see Leo, Bloodraven, Ramer and Honey walk towards them.
"Are you okay Leo?" Ruby asked with a weird expression and he responded with a smile, "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that my Aura is a little weird".
"How so?" Yoshiaki questioned curiously.
"Well you see my aura, unlike others, can't protect or heal me. It takes on the properties of fire, so if something flammable comes close to me it would start to burn, just that it takes sometime and also if you hit me with fire or an explosion I can walk away from it just fine." Leo gave a short explanation.
"Oh! Wait, then why don't your cloths burn… wait. They're fire-proof aren't they?" Ramer asked but soon realised the obvious.
"Yep, anyway who's against who now?" Leo asked Yoshiaki. "Silver and Glace vs...Cardin Sky,Russel and Dove. Cardin's team..." Upon hearing Cardin's name, Ruby saw Leo's expression change a little while clenching his fist.
"...Oh look. its starting! GO SILVER AND GLACE!" Ruby tried to lift the mood as he pointed to the arena area direction to a Silver headed boy equipped with what was basically shields on his arms and a Blue headed boy with a Winter coat.
"Come on Silver, Glace, give them hell!" Leo cheered for his leader as the moody atmosphere around them disappeared. Leo looked at Ruby and she saw, that his expression said "thanks Ruby" and she smiled back at him.
"Hmph. Cardin's team is gonna lose." commented Bloodraven as he popped a lemon sherbet into his mouth. "Wake me when it's over." And with that, he dozed off.
Glynda looked at both fighter before she signaled them to start, "Ready, BEGIN!"
(Glacier POV)
Glacier watched as Silver started walking towards team CRDL, there was practically killing intent pouring out of him.
All of them were stuck in place with fear… until 2 of them panicked and started firing bullets at Silver. However, panic ran through them as most of them hit either the shield on his left shoulder and arm or the armor that was around his right shoulder and both forearms. Not once did it hit his body or the head.
Glacier had the feeling that something bad was about to happen. Quickly reacting based on instinct, he covered himself in a dome of transparent ice.
Seconds later, he was right. Lightning arced out of Silver's body, hitting, what appeared to be, everything in sight. 3 of Cardin's teammate were knocked out, when bolts of lightning struck them. The lightning even hit the barrier that protected the stands, luckily only Cardin, Glacier and Silver were left standing.
Silver stood in silence as everyone's jaws were hanging at the amount of damage done. Not only did it completely decimate the auras of 3 members of team CRDL, but it left craters in the walls and floor.
Cardin stood there wide eyed and hesitated before charging straight at Silver.
Silver not giving anytime for Cardin to prepare for an attack grabbed E.S.P.R and changed it to assault rifle mode and started spraying at him. Glacier snapped out of his surprise and created his shoulder mounted rocket launcher with Permafrost and started firing at Cardin.
Cardin just barely managed to block the incoming projectiles, with the icicle's shrapnel bouncing off his armour, as he ran. He was about to smash Silver with his mace, but Silver managed to shift to his blunt arming sword just in time to block. The force behind the blow was enough to send him skidding back a few feet.
Silver counter attacked by switching to his whip blade and sending a flurry of slashes towards Cardin.
Glacier saw an opportunity as his rocket launcher vanished. Switching to a pair of permafrost arm blades, he ran around the outskirts of the arena to get behind Cardin.
Just as Cardin got to close and was about to send Silver flying into a wall he suddenly froze, literally.
Glacier had shot a freezing senbon (a throwing needle) at Cardin, causing him to freeze solid.
"Thanks Glace!" Silver returned to his cheery self and thanked his icy friend with a thumbs up.
Before Glacier could respond, Cardin shattered his icy prison and charged at Silver. "LOOK OUT!" Glacier warned his friend.
Silver turned around and slashed the Cardin in the stomach followed by an electrically charged fist to the face. Cardin flew back as a glow enveloped his body, signifying that his aura was completely depleted.
"Wooh! Good job guys!" shouted Leo as the rest of the audience clapped. Turning to his side to shake Bloodraven awake, he blinked in surprise as the person in question was missing. "Uhh...Guys? Do you know where Bloodraven went?" he asked his friends. They shook their heads in unision. None of them noticed the door silently close.
(Bloodraven POV)
'Well, sneaking out was easy. Conflict makes a wonderful distraction.' Thought Bloodraven as he waited patiently for the elevator to reach Ozpin's office.
The elevator doors soon opened to the bright glare of sunlight streaming through the windows of the office. Bloodraven strode forwards towards the desk, ready for his newest assignment. Ozpin slowly sipped from his coffee mug as he threw a scroll at the assassin. Catching the scroll, he read the message and summarized it in his head. Placing the scroll onto the desk, he walked towards the elevator and left the office.
'Orders: Investigate suspected White Fang activity. Eliminate any opposition.
Mission Parameters: Stay undetected. Reinforcements are ready if needed.
Mission Location: Docks, warehouse #43'
With that in mind, Bloodraven donned his cloak and melted into the shadows.
Time Skip
It was around 7 that Bloodraven returned back to Beacon. Finishing his report, he clicked the send button on his scroll and pocketed it. Walking into the courtyard, he stealthily slid past a young, romantic couple that were too busy gazing into each other's eyes to notice him. He entered the halls of Beacon, taking care to avoid having the other students see his current blood-soaked attire. The mission had gone relatively well, with over 3 quarters of the enemy forces dead before they even noticed a thing. It was a shame that one of the patrols stumbled across the container he hid the bodies in. From there, he had to kill that patrol in close combat. He was a bit too slow however, as the last one managed to radio the others about him before Bloodraven took off his hand and slit his throat.
'Well, intel was correct at least.' Bloodraven mused as he thought about how he killed the White Fang officer at the warehouse.
"Well, well, well...What do we have here?" Drawled a voice from behind Bloodraven. Turning around, he saw a person, armed with a halberd, an ornate White Fang mask covering his face. An officer. Craning his neck, Bloodraven saw that the officer had a squad of grunts behind him, weapons all trained at the Spectre.
Bloodraven stepped over the headless body at his feet as he made his way towards his newest target. He stopped a few meters in front of the smirking officer. Tilting his head, he asked a question.
"...Why do you smirk?"
The officer guffawed as he clutched his stomach. "Why do you think I'm smirking?! It's because you, are going to die! I am going to bring the head of a legendary Nightingale operative to Adam! You were a fool to have come alone!" he said, as the men behind him readied to fire.
Bloodraven raised a hand. "Who said I came alone?" he calmly replied as his fingers clenched into a fist. The men behind the officer were too slow to realize what the Spectre meant by that, and were quickly gunned down by the snipers that Atlas provided for this op. The White Fang officer had managed to duck into cover and out of the snipers' line of sight. Bloodraven calmly walked through the growing pools of blood as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Unsheathing his dual sickles, he gazed at the furious officer. His lips curving upwards, his pace quickened into a jog, and then into a run as he dashed towards his target. Ducking under a horizontal swipe of the halberd, he jumped up and kicked his opponent in the chin as he performed a backflip. Landing on his feet, he swerved left and dodged a stab. Hooking a sickle on the weapon's pole, he locked it in place and slashed down with his other sickle. The dust-infused blade sheared through the mundane metal as the halberd was sliced in 2. Growling ferally at the operative, the officer threw a punch at the black-clad murderer.
Bloodraven batted the fist away with a swipe of his weapon, then got to work. The Spectre punched the officer in the adam's apple, both stunning him and making breathing hard. Aura may protect you, but it doesn't stop the pain. That was a lesson that Bloodraven took to heart when Mandeline kicked him in the balls. Slashing at the terrorist, Bloodraven hit the most vulnerable points he knew of.
'Solar plexus, temple, achilles heel, neck, wrist...unmentionables...' Bloodraven thought as he stabbed and slashed at each point with the ruthless efficiency of a machine. Eventually, he broke through the aura of his enemy and landed a killing blow. The blade faced little resistance as it carved straight through his enemy's neck. His opponent's corpse still stood, defiant even in death. Bloodraven poked it and watched as it fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
Staring at the corpse for a few moments, he shifted his gaze towards the direction of the snipers. Giving them a thumbs-up, he saw a few silhouettes stand up and leave their post. Activating his scroll, he sent a message to the General. Taking a moment to admire his handiwork, he sighed in annoyance as he realized that he was drenched in blood. It would be annoying having to sneak back to his room. With that in mind, he walked towards the Academy.
When he shook out of his reverie, he noticed that he had made it to the dorm. Slowly opening the door, he peeked inside. Satisfied that it was empty, he entered, closing the door behind him. Making his way to the bathroom, he stood under the showerhead and let the cold water splash over him, washing the blood from his attire. Satisfied by the lack of blood, Bloodraven exited the bathroom. Making his way over to the closet, he quickly changed into his uniform and opened the door to the dorm.
"Bloodraven! Where the hell were you?!" shouted an annoying voice. Bloodraven glanced towards the source. Silver stood there, along with the rest of the team. Staring at them for a few moments, he curtly replied.
"I was feeling ill, so I went to the nurse."
"...You were at the infirmary for 5 hours?" Ramer asked, suspicious of Bloodraven's answer. Shaking his head, Bloodraven continued his lie.
"No. The nurse told me I had a fever and had me stay in this room to rest." he said.
The group continued to stare at him, before they glanced at each other.
"Well, I guess it makes sense. We didn't check the dorms when we were searching for him." Said Leo as the other 2 nodded.
"Well, enough of all this drama. Lets all get some sleep." said Silver as the others nodded.
'Well, that was incredibly easy…' thought Bloodraven as he flopped onto his bed. Closing his eyes, he drifted off to sleep.
(Krimsun POV)
Krimsun waited until the room was dead quiet, excluding Silver's horribly loud snoring. Satisfied that everyone was sound asleep, he quietly got up and looked around.
It seemed like no one was awake. Krimsun sneaked out of the room and quietly closed the door, hoping no one would find out. Looking around he found the dark hallways to be empty. Sighing in relief, he walked towards to lockers and pulled out Leoheart.
Krimsun realized that if he wanted to train by himself he needed to do it at night because of Ozpin's deal.
Approaching the training area, he found several dummies as well a few blunt metal training swords. 'Guess I didn't need to bring Leoheart after all".
Selecting a training dummy, Krimsun picked a sword that most similar to the one he used back home, a katana.
Leo stared at the target before whispering, " 2nd offensive strike…" as he said this he readied himself in Hassō-no-kamae (which is when the sword is close to your right shoulder and your left foot is in front of your right this is also called: In No Kamae).
"HORIZONTAL BLAZE!" Krimsun swung his sword from right-to-left to left-to-right with such speed that it appeared he only swung his sword once. Even after performing his strike he continued, shifting his aim to another dummy he set up.
"3rd offensive strike…" Krimsun got into a different stance, Ko Gasumi.
"BLAST FURNACE!" Instantly 3 slashes forming on upside down T appeared and exploded. but once again continues.
"5th offensive strike… hi no tori no... HOSHI (star of the firebird/pheonix)" As Krimsun swung he traced a 5 pointed star with his fiery blade.
After taking a deep breath Krimsun tried to move on to the next one the 6th but…
He simply stood there in silence, not knowing what to do, 'As per usual, I can't remember any of the techniques that are beyond 5…' Krimsun sighed to himself as he packed up and went back to his room to sleep.

-1 week later-
'The week had gone had gone by with classes, homework, planning, and preparing. The team had little to no time to rest or have fun. But finally, it's time…' Ramer looked up at the airship above their heads and frowned.
'...It's time to head home.'

(Bloodraven POV)
When he shook out of his reverie, he noticed that he had made it to the dorm. He was confident that no one was in it, as he had memorized his team's schedule. Checking his scroll, he confirmed that it was indeed 7:09. His team would still be in the cafeteria by now. He quickly checked his surroundings before he opened the door and walked in.
He then realized that he should have checked whether anyone was in here first as he came face to face with Silver, with Leo and Ramer behind him sitting on their beds. Their conversation ceased as they saw all the red that stained him. Bloodraven simply said 2 words.
"It's ketchup."
