"You find Pyrrha Nikos veeeerrryyy attractivvvveeeee… You find Pyrrha Nikkos veeeeeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyy atraaaaaactivvvvveeeeeeee…"

Trinity Glassfille was perhaps the first and only one to address what Hazama was currently doing as the green-haired male was squatting right on top of a sleeping Jin Kisaragi. With weird hand movements and quiet whispering, the blonde felt that she should at least ask what her acquaintance was up to. "Um, Hazama, what is it that you are doing?"

Hazama looked up and saw that Trinity was squatting as well, the both of the already fully dressed as they had happened to wake up earlier than the majority of people and changed. With hands still raised, Hazama said what he was doing. "Well, you know how when you speak to people when they sleep it can possibly affect dreams that they are having or even create dreams?"

"I… am not familiar with such a study." Trinity admitted, furrowing her brow in thought. "Although I have actually heard of it before. Is that what you are doing to this boy here?" She looked down to see Jin suddenly having his eyes open in narrow slits and only facing her way. With the direction he was laying, the male blonde hid his face from Hazama.

The yellow-eyed teen simply smirked. "Well, I'm trying to make him have a pleasant dream." Clearing his throat, Hazama began to start over. "You and Pyrrha Nikkos are in a bed togeeeethhheeeeeerrrrrr…"

Not a second later Jin punched Hazama's nose.

"… Oh yes… You stir it… Ren… Stir it… That pancake batter…"

Valkenhayn and Ren both watched the ginger-haired female roll around in her blankets with a goofy grin and drool seeping out of her lips. Not only that, but she was sprawled out across her sleeping bag.

Already dressed in their regular attire, the duo stared down at the unconscious girl. Valkenhayn had an amused look as Ren looked like he had seen this kind of scene too many times that he was unaffected. The butler adjusted his gloves and looked over to his friend. "Might I point out that without the last bit, that talk would have implied that you and Nora have performed the acts of intercourse?"

Ren sighed, placing his index finger and thumb up to his two brows and stroked them. Massaging his temples, he was at least happy that, despite Valkenhayn's blunt wording, his friend still meant well as well as not able to give him a headache. "Without context, possibly." Ren deadpanned.

With that said, the both of them fell silent once more before looking at each other. "So… should I wake her up?" Valkenhayn asked.

Ren shrugged his shoulders. "It's your choice. But just be warned that she's grown much more… tougher." He had to pause in order to think of a word that he was unsure was right or wrong.

The butler hummed in consideration, hearing the boy's words. Slowly bending his knees, he placed his hand on Nora's shoulder and shook her gently.

Immediately, the ginger's hand lashed out and grabbed the one shaking her. Valkenhayn quickly stood back up with surprise. Nora kept her grip though as she was soon dragged into the air. With a quick flail of limbs, Nora was like a wild monkey swinging its arms and legs wildly. Eventually, Valkenhayn was lock in a position where his arms were completely tangled up in Nora's. The girl meanwhile had wrapped her legs around the butler's waist and was pretty much still sleeping while being given a piggy-back at the same time.

With his once neat hair in a rather crazy mess, Valkenhayn took in a deep breath. "I can already feel the stress and love you must have had for the past five years." He commented, wondering if he should already pry the sleeping ginger off of his back.

Ren nodded in thanks.

"Hmm… 600… where was locker 600 again? I'm sure it's supposed to be 'round 'ere somewhere…" Jubei muttered to himself as he was pacing around the locker room of Beacon Academy. Past the metal boxes, he kept looking up at the plates until he eventually found his locker. Opening the steel door, he looked at the two blades in the one sheath.

Taking the sheath out of his locker, he closed it shut before taking his blades out. Eyeing them carefully with his one eye, he noticed that they weren't exactly up to the sharpness that he was used to or that clean.

Opening his locker door once more before closing it, he grabbed a sharpener and some cleaning material. Sitting down on a bench, he grabbed the proper tools and began to first sharpen the blade. With each passing stroke, metal grinded against its own element. Yet it did not make a loud sound that irritated people. It was soft enough that it didn't annoy the surrounding humans and Faunus.

When moving onto his second blade, his eye slightly narrowed. He had to constantly keep his weapons well maintained, but it just reminded him of what he had done. He fought. He did terrible things. But still, he kept on sharpening his blade without hesitation. If he had to use his weapons, then he would choose how to use them.

"Why do I always have locker numbers that add up to nine?"

Looking up, Jubei saw that Konoe was in a rather revealing outfit which he assumed was her battle attire. But he saw no such weapon on her person. "In elementary it was nine exactly. Then in Kronos I had locker 234, and now I have locker 603."

"Must be yer lucky number then." Jubei commented, causing Konoe to spin around and see the short two-tailed cat-Faunus polishing his weapons. He kept his visible eye on both the metal and the pink-haired girl. "So, do ya carry a weapon around or do ya use somethin' else?" He noticed her suspicious glare. "Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot. But there's the chance that I'm gonna be partnerin' up with ya. I jus' wanna get a feel of who I'm gonna possibly be workin' with so I don't have ta learn right in the middle of a battlefield." He then noticed the look she was giving him. "Just sayin'."

Konoe kept her eyes locked on the one cat-Faunus who was still sitting on his bench. Despite his small body, he carried himself as if he were heavy a lot. Hunched over, it seemed as if Jubei were carrying a load ignoring the fact that he was simply cleaning. She did have a sharp eye for many things. "…" She didn't say anything at first. "I use Dust. Lots and lots of Dust."

"Ah, a Dust user huh?" Jubei hummed with interest despite his attention still being split between the girl and his weapons. Bringing his sword closer to his eye, he narrowed his pupil as he noticed that he didn't make it sharp enough. "Are ya specialized in a single element? Or do ya use a lot?"

That was certainly an odd question to ask. But still Konoe decided to answer the question. "I use many elements to my advantage. But I also mix them together to create my own… effects." She only heared Jubei hum once again, still keeping his visible eye on his sword. She had opened her mouth to yell at him for not listening but still herself from doing so. Thinking about it, she remembered. Through the entire conversation, Jubei was actually listening to the words she said.

"…You feelin' okay?"

With his words bringing her back into reality, she realized that she still had her jaw hanging. Closing it shut, she scowled and turned her head. "I'm fine." She answered. "I do thank you for bringing me out of my blank state however."

Jubei shrugged, finished sharpening his first sword and polishing it properly. "Whatever ya say." He answered, moving onto his second weapon. "Just make sure yer feelin' well when initiation starts. Don't want anyone dyin' around 'ere."

Nodding her head in agreement, she noticed a girl with black hair and a bow in the top of her head leaning against the side of a locker in a nonchalant fashion. But when their eyes made contact with hers, the girl pushed off the metal and walked away.

"I see that ya noticed Blake as well." Jubei said as he was still sharpening his second blade, full attention on his weapon. "Color me impressed fer ya noticin' her a lot earlier than most people would."

"Trinity, I didn't know you're attending Beacon as well!"

A friendly tone made Trinity jump at the loud volume. Turning around, the blonde saw the busty form of a fellow blonde girl in an outfit that exposed her cleavage. Trinity however smiled at the sight. "I was going to tell you, but then I got busy. Plus, I'm technically not attending Beacon." She pointed up a finger to make sure she had Yang's attention. "I'm actually in an apprenticeship program with my aunt who works at Beacon. Attending the academy like a regular student, I'm under special tutelage. But I still must fulfill the requirement made by the one who took me in as well as the schools."

Yang whistled. "Sounds complicated." She commented before remembering. "Oh yeah, Ruby's here as well! I've got to show you to each other." As the long-haired blonde turned around and walked, Trinity followed and the two eventually came up to Ruby fiddling around with her weapon. "Hey, Sis, guess who I found."

"Huh?" Ruby asked, looking up from her Crescent Rose and shrieked in excitement. "Trinity!" Jumping up, Ruby hugged the blonde. "I didn't know that you were going to Beacon."

"I could say the same for you." Trinity chuckled lightly, wrapping her arms around the shorter girl gently before they broke it up. "How did you get into Beacon anyways? You have about two more years before being of proper age."

"I beat up a bunch of bad-guys and Ozpin liked it." Ruby put it into a short story.

Trinity just stared. Honestly… she couldn't' come up with anything to say. "Okay then…" She said slowly. "So, how are you both feeling about the upcoming test?"

"It doesn't matter because I'm going to let my sweetheart do all the talking." Ruby hugged her weapon close to her body, gently stroking the metal in a tender fashion. With intimate matter with each touch, she giggled slightly.

Throwing a look at each other, Yang was the first to break off the eye contact with Trinity. "Well, remember ruby, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you want to grow up, you're going to hve to meet new people and learn to work together." She reminded the girl, placing a hand on top of her sister's head.

Ruby pouted. "You sound like Dad! She whined, pushing Yang's hand away. "Okay, first of all, what does meeting new people have to do with fighting? Secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up! I drink milk!" She exclaimed proudly in a matter-of-fact tone.

"That… is one of the most overused clichés ever and I can't believe you just used it. You also do realize that scientific studies show that milk doesn't make you taller."

"Hazama!"

The fedora-wearing teenager secretly waltzed into the conversation from the side with such a smooth way. It was as if he were already a part of it from the beginning. "Why hello there, Ruby. Of course, I could never forget you, Trinity." Hazama greeted with his present smile before looking over to Yang. "And you must be Yang Xiao Long. Trinity talked about you just before Ozpin's speech."

Weiss Schnee was busy with her own thing.

At the moment, she was talking to Pyrrha. The white-haired heiress was doing her best to butter the red-head up. "So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on?" The negotiation Weiss was trying to give was not subtle in the slightest. "I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!"

Folding her arms, Pyrrha placed a hand on her chin and hummed in thought. "Hmm…" She took a couple of seconds to answer. "I'm not quite sure…"

She would have continued, but then Jin was watching the entire conversation. All the blonde knew was that the heiress was simply flattering the red-head and trying to persuade the two of them to form a team. It was a strategy that one could use, but Jin didn't like that kind of method. "Come on, Pyrrha." Jin tapped the Mistral champion on the shoulder and gestured to the door out of the locker room. "Initiation may start soon."

"Ah, right." Pyrrha turned around and she had her full attention brought onto Jin. It was as if she had just completely forgotten about Weiss. Green eyes stared at one another. "Did you have a good breakfast, Jin? You didn't seem to eat as much as usual."

"Wai-!" Weiss was absolutely shocked that she was just suddenly out of the conversation like it was nothing. She tried to get herself back into Pyrrha's focus, but she failed.

"I had enough to eat. Eating too much will slow the blood flow." Jin stated as he was right in front of the red-head while standing up straight. With sheath in his hand, the covered weapon was weighed in his hands perfectly as a single fist was formed to hole everything. "At least what I have eaten is much more better than that cereal box you had been featured on."

"The cereal certainly isn't very good for you." Pyrrha giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. She was clearly amused at that one single fact. "If I remember correctly, you were also given an offer to be featured on Frosted-"

"Don't you dare mention that cereal brand." Jin had to cut his close friend off, holding his free hand up in order to stop her from talking. His eyes narrowed into a glare, but Pyrrha could see that he didn't mean to be cold. "If Hazama even catches wind of that he's going to eat that cereal every breakfast just to irritate me. It's as unhealthy as your Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box that you were featured on…" Jin stayed silent as realization dawned on his face. "…I can't believe I just said the entire name now." He deadpanned.

"WILL YOU TWO STOP IGNORING ME!?"

Both Jin and Pyrrha jumped at the loud shriek. Landing back on the ground, the two of them whipped their heads around to see Weiss panting with a furious look on her face. "Ah, sorry Weiss. I was just having conversation with Jin. I almost forgot you were here."

Weiss grumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose. She was doing her best to maintain her cool so that she looked like a good candidate for Pyrrha. There was even Jin Kisaragi right in front of her as well. If she could end up with either of them as teammates, that would be superb. Clearing her throat, she took a deep breath. "I apologize for my outburst. But getting back to the topic at han- Wait a moment!"

Jin didn't even bother giving Weiss a chance as he began dragging Pyrrha away. "Jin? What are you doing?" The red-head asked the blonde. "Aren't you being a little rude just by ignoring her?"

"I am not going to listen to someone trying to get onto your good side just for the sake of their own benefit." Jin stated, stopping in place and facing Pyrrha once more. "It's just like back in Mistral, people only seeing you as the Mistral champion, the girl who is always on the highest podium. You hate that, I can tell. If someone wants to be a friend or a partner with you, then they should want to be together with Pyrrha Nikos: Not the 'Untouchable Girl'."

Her green-eyes looked directly towards Jin's. Her mouth was gaped open, not even sure of what to say. Should she say thanks? Should she say that he was still being a bit rude? She just didn't know. Not once had Jin spoken such words to her. Not once did she ever think that he cared for her this much. Then again… there was that hug on the airship before landing on Beacon grounds.

"You want to kiss Jin Kisaragiiiii… You want to kiss Jin Kisaragiiiiiiiiii…"

Her cheeks tinted red at the memory. The feeling of his gentle touch was warm. Despite his cold shell, his insides were as warm as a comforting fire. Almost through all of Sanctum, the two of them were together since she was the only one to reach out. Ever since then, they became close friends… or were they becoming something closer?

"You want to kiss Jin Kisaragiiiiiiiiiiiiiii… You want to kiss Jin Kisaragiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…"

Pyrrha took a step closer to Jin. He seemed to much bigger than before. Perhaps it was just because she was closer to him. She clenched her fists and stood still, thinking about what to do. Wondering what Jin was thinking of her at the moment, she looked up-

-And saw that he wasn't even staring at her…

Slowly craning her head over to where the blonde was staring, she soon saw that Hazama's face was extremely close to her own while he was whispering. "You want to kiss Jin Kisaragiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…" The green-haired male then stopped as he noticed the two pairs of eyes trained on him. "…" He looked at Pyrrha first before turning to Jin. "…Oh come on! I was setting such a good mood for the two of you!"

Pyrrha turned around to make sure that she was hiding her blushing face. "I'll… I'll meet you at the initiation spot!" She quickly ran out of the locker room to leave Hazama and Jin by themselves.

Hazama looked over and saw that the blonde was looking at him. "We don't even have a place to meet for intiition."

"Just what the hell did you think you were doing?" Jin asked with a scowl as Hazama opened his own locker that was nearby.

"I was trying to get you and Pyrrha to kiss." Hazama stated with a shrug of his shoulders. "Didn't you listen to what I was telling her?" Tapping the chains that sat on the three hooks of the locker, the metal links suddenly lit up green and the serpent head came to life. With a quickly slither, the metal snake and its entire body slid through Hazama's jacket sleeves and eventually was covered.

"…What is that supposed to be?" Jin asked never seeing Hazama use such an item.

"Oh, it's simple really. Well, I guess it's simple depending on who you ask." The green-haired teen said before having the snake head poke out of his sleeve. "This is special Atlesian metal that can be controlled by the users Aura. Depending on how one utilizes its abilities, it becomes a rather potent tool."

"That sounds a little too good to be sold in a store…" Jin said slowly. Looking directly at Hazama's face, he held back from smacking that grin off the face. "You didn't steal this did you?"

Hazama gasped. "How could you think of me as such a low thug, dear brother?!" He cried out dramatically, hand on his fedora and the other on his chest. Breaking out of the acting, the green-haired teen put on his smile. "No I didn't steal though if that's what you're wondering. I bought it with money I stole from a black market seller who stole such metal."

"…"

"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for intiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

"… I'm not even going to dignify that information with any sort of reply, Hazama."

Break

The first-year students were each assembled on several decorated steel pads on Beacon Cliff. Before them were Ozpin and Glynda, each looking over the assembled with serious expressions. Ozpin was the first to speak. "For years you have trained to become warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Jin closed his eyes to try and focus on the words that were most important.

Glynda took Ozpin's pause as he que. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put all of your confusion to rest. Each of you will be given teammates… today."

Jubei raised an eyebrow. "Was that pause really necessary?" He muttered to himself.

Ozpin picked up Glynda's pause. "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is within your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well with."

Konoe rolled her eyes. Then how was that process supposed to work?

"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

Trinity thought about it. If the others had to try to find people they would work well with, then would the first eye contact rule be completely unnecessary?

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the Northern end of the forest. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene."

Valkenhayn nodded in understanding, knowing fully well that teachers shouldn't be helping their students when a test was being done.

"You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing as we grade your appropriately. Are there any question?"

"What kind of relics are they?" Hazama raised his hand.

"Good. Now take up positions."

Ozpin completely ignored Hazama as the lineup of future hunters and huntresses took up their ready positions on their platforms. Each of them were ready. Hearing a hiss and a click, everyone looked to their right and saw that the platforms underneath them would be the thing sending them into the forest.

"What are you drinking?" Hazama asked.

Jin kicked off the platform as he was thrown into the air.

"Do you really need glasses?"

Jubei was light enough to be sent a far distance.

"Your way of having us pair up with teammates kind of sucks."

Konoe bent her legs as she felt herself being launched into the air.

"Be careful, Trinity." Glynda said.

The blonde girl nodded her head with a reassuring smile as she was sent soaring.

"Are you going to answer any of my questions?"

"You don't have any." Ozpin stated.

Valkenhayn felt the wind rush right past his face as he was flying.

"…" Hazama looked forward before hearing the hissing of the plate below him. Looking back at Ozpin, he had one final question he knew the Headmaster wouldn't answer. "Are you wearing a toupee?"

With a woop, Hazama soared right into the sky.

Shorter than I would have liked, not as much as I would have liked. But oh well.

No flames please.
