Chapter Two: Information and Setting Home Base

"Okay, so this thing is what allows you to track the stuff called magic and it went off mistaking my aura for this magic?" Torrez asked me with curiosity. I assured him that he was correct as we walked towards the room I used as a makeshift lab. At first he didn't seem the intellectual type, but his quick understanding of the advanced sciences I used to explain how the detector work amazed me. He even corrected me on some parts that had gotten wrong!

"Wow, where did you learn all that?" I had asked, excited that I finally had someone who could keep up with my thinking.

"Beacon Academy, my Godfather is the headmaster of the school. Helped me out with my studies when I really needed it," he answered. I honestly couldn't believe it, making me rethink my decision of what school I wanted to go to. Until he explained his school.

"The thing is that it's meant to train students to become huntsmen to protect kingdoms such as Vale. So you have to be a scientist, naturalist, survivalist and a soldier all wrapped into one by the time you graduate," he added. I couldn't be any of the other three that was for certain.

"Wow, you've been busy here," he whistled as I opened the door. It was a little messy, but he didn't seem bothered by it at all.

"So, the place at the center of this whole event is called Canterlot High School. What my sources told me that this magic blast was a directed attack similar to the Soul Stream sorcery of the Lothric realm, except it needed six people to properly pull it off," he stated as he looked over my board that had everything linked.

"Hell, I didn't know that there was a second event like that!" he exclaimed when he saw the pictures I had of what happened at their music event. He pulled something that looked like a smartphone and took pictures of them and sent them to someone.

"Thank god I brought my scroll, I'm letting Ozpin know that a second event occurred before my arrival," he said. Once he finished, I then informed him of the exact event that happened during that event.

"Okay, from what I've gathered, these six kids gained their power from an artifact that came from another world. A person from that world came here chasing it down and we know the rest of the story!" he said once I finished. I didn't even notice the time until my phone went off, my alarm reminding me to start heading home. I went to turn off my alarm when I saw that my mother texted me and informed me she was waiting outside. We both headed out, Torrez actually putting his equipment away into trunks that I had no clue where he pulled them from. He carried them out and loaded them himself, after he introduced himself to my mom.

"I'm Torrez Lunarius, I shall be in your care for the time being," he said with a bow. My mom smiled at the respectfulness of the young man, whispering to me that he was a keeper. He seemed to have heard as he stifled a chuckle at my sudden embarrassment.

"Mom, please stop embarrassing me!" I said without much thought, then I heard my dad.

"Wow, the boy has more manners than he needs. Royalty?" he asked. Torrez told him military, godparents were his caretakers and drilled into him respect for his superiors. My dad actually liked that, and Beacon was in essence a military school from what he told me. We both got in and it was mostly quiet on the way back, him helping me fix my theory about the situation at Canterlot High.

"Looks like you finally made a friend," my mom stated. Again, my thoughts got scrambled and this time Torrez didn't stifle his laugh.

I couldn't help but laugh at Twilight's predicament, her parents seemed to poking fun of her social awkwardness. I knew that I shouldn't be laughing, being the same way personally. I stopped, but they started asking questions like how long I would be staying here and where I was from. I told them what I thought was safe to tell, such as "until my school calls me home" and "Beacon Academy". I didn't want to reveal too much, as I didn't need to lose my cover yet. They kept up with the questions, some personal as if I was in a relationship or my age. The one that caught me off guard was when her father directly asked if I had an interest in his daughter. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as her mother stopped the car and reprimanded him for the question.

"What's in that trunk of yours, it seemed heavy," her mother asked.

"It's my assigned equipment from school, our standard issue ODM gear, a longbow with a full quiver, and my rifle named Shield Breaker. As they didn't know what I was going into, my Godfather thought that it was to be better safe than sorry," I answered truthfully, as they could have looked and seen that everything had been approved by their world's customs officials. Finally, we had arrived. I unloaded my trunk and carried it inside. They showed me to the guest room and I set up there. Twilight made sure I was settling in, lingering around to see if she could learn anything else about me. Unfortunately for her, I remained silent for the rest of the evening until I went to bed.
