"C'mon mate we got to do this carefully," "I know," I say as sweat drips down my forehead. "If we mess this up, we are going to die," Pan says panic clear in his voice. "Dude we are going to be fine," I say clapping my hand on Pans shoulder. "Breakfast is ready, hurry and wake her up," Susanoo looks over at us from the stove, where he is flipping pancakes, where Pan and I are getting ready to prod Ash with a pole. "Aren't you scared that she's going to kill us?" Pan asked him. "No, I'm not waking her up so I'm in no danger," He replies, putting the food on the table, "Wake her up in the next minute, or we will late for our first day." He began eating his portion on his own. With that weighing on us we began to prod Ash with the pole. On the third prod Ash grabbed the pole, snapped it in half and then hit both of us with the two halves. As we rubbed our heads in pain, Ash got out of bed rubbing her eyes. "Good morning," She mumbled still half asleep. "What smells good?" "Soos made breakfast," I respond, man she hit hard. "That's not my name," Susanoo says from the table. "Oh cool," she said getting out of bed. She walked into the bathroom, probably needed to change. As soon as she left Pan and I sat down at the table and helped ourselves to some breakfast. I've got to admit this is really good, the bacon is perfect and the pancakes are fluffy but firm. I look up and give Susanoo a thumbs up. He nods at that and resumes his breakfast. Ash comes out dressed in her uniform, stretching her arms out. She then settled down at the table and joined us. Susanoo then got up a few minutes later, "We have ten minutes before we are late," he said putting his shoes on. "I'm leaving now, good luck." And with that he walked out of the room. "I still can't tell if that guy is a dick or just really antisocial," Ash said with her mouth full. Pan and I nod our heads in agreement, we then began to put our shoes on as well. Grabbing our bags we hurried to the lecture halls. When we finally arrived, we had cut it pretty close. To be honest we had gotten a little lost. As we took our seats, I noticed Susanoo sitting next to this really big guy. I gave him a wave and he nodded in return, and then went back to his conversation. Huh, I guess even he can make friends.

"Good morning students. My name Professor Port, and I will be instructing you on the ways of the Grimm," said our professor a man in a double breasted burgundy suit. I look over to Pan who just stifled a yawn. "Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" I follow Pans guide by yawning as well, for some reason Susanoo seemed enraptured. "Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses! Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!" At that last part I begin to nod off. It's a bad habit of mine. The professor began to tell a story from his youth. As I look around the room I see Susanoo furiously taking notes, I'll need to swipe those later. "Pretty boring huh," I nod as I look to my left to see one of the hottest girls I have ever seen. "Tired?" she asks moving her red and green hair out of her eyes. I nod again and she giggles. "Ahem," We both look back at the professor and quiet down. "In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!" He bowed at that part. "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable! A true Huntsman must be dependable! A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise! So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"

As soon as he finished talking Speed Justice burst out of chair. "I do Professor, for I Speed Justice am ready!" He posed for that last one. "Well, then, let's see if you are all that you say. Step forward and face your opponent," He says gesturing to a rattling cage. At that Speed Justice flipped out of chair and landed on his face. "Careful lad, don't want to hurt yourself before you defeat your prey," The Professor cheerfully said to him. I could hear Ash giggle at that. He sprung up no like nothing had happened, and he then got into a combat stance. "And begin," The professor stated as he broke the lock containing the Boarbatusk. Speed Justice ran up and grabbed the tusks of the Grimm trying to wrestle it to the ground. It shakes him off though, and throws him back across the wall. "Weren't expecting that were you." Without missing a beat he flipped back up right, he then made finger guns and began to open fire on the Boarbatusk. With the incoming volley the beast charged at him, and once again they grappled. "What will you do this time to change the situation." Only this time Speed Justice had a much better grip and leverage. Using his much better position he rammed his foot down its throat and ripped it apart. That was horrifying to say the least. "What a display of tenacity and technique. Bravo. We are in the presence of a true Huntsman-in-training. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!" I look to my right to see the girl was getting ready to leave. "Wait, you never told me your name. I'm Walter Gurren friends call me Wasp, and yours?" I say to the girl who gave me a giggle. Score. "Alright my name is Cherryle Ubiquitous. I guess I'll see you around Wasp," She waves back as she walks off. As I stand there dumbstruck my team walks up behind me. "Who's she, lover-boy," Pan says as he winks at me. "That's Cherryle, and what do you mean lover boy," I ask glaring at him, behind him I can see Ash looking pissed, but that's just probably her normal look now that I think about it. "Oh nothing," he whistles as we walk out of the classroom.

It's only now that I realize that someone is missing as I go back to the classroom I see Susanoo talking to the professor. This strikes me as odd because he was smiling, and in these past two days I haven't really seen him smile at all. I head back to the Pan and Ash who are waiting for me/bickering, we then start to walk around school as we have nothing else to do. "I wonder why Susanoo was meeting with the professor?" I ask to myself. "Eh who knows, maybe he had a question about his really boring story. Did either of you catch out what it was about?" Pan asks looking at both of us which we responded in the negative. "Figures, the first day of school and I already don't know anything," He groans out. "That sounds like you Goat-boy," Ash responded, and just like that Pan started to scowl. "Guys please don't start again, you don't want me to use my supreme leader powers" I say trying to keep the mood jovial. They both mumble something back to me, I can only hope it was them agreeing with me. Suddenly the urge to pee overwhelmed me and I told them to go on without me. As I relieved myself I realized that next to me was the leader of team VENM, Verde I think. As we both washed our hands, I tried my best to start a conversation with him. "Speed justice was pretty good in that last match," I said as we both awkwardly washed our hands. "Yeah, I guess he was," He said as he walked away. I shrug, I've gotten used to this sort of thing from Susanoo.

After that awkward conversation I decided to take a stroll to try to just clear my mind from the slightly hectic day I've had. While on my stroll I could hear someone inside the one of the combat rooms, when I peaked in imagine my surprise to Susanoo was there training. The way he fought looked more like a really intricate dance than a combat style. It's beautiful to say the least. He suddenly stops, he probably realized that he was being watched. "Hey Soos that was awesome. Hey do you need a sparring partner I could grab my drills out of the locker room," I say hoping that he will say yes. "No, your assistance is not needed, I train better by myself," He then went back to his routine, clearly saying that the conversation is over. I shrug which I now realize I have done a lot these past few days, and I walk back out only to stop at the doorway. "Hey, we should get dinner tonight if you have time, you know try to get to know each other a little better," silence is my answer. Sighing I go back to aimlessly walking around. I didn't even realize that I had made my way to the balcony. Staring at the sunset I leaned down onto the railing. Man what did I do to get stuck with a group like this, two people that always start arguing when their by themselves and a guy who probably wants nothing to do with the rest of us.

"Mind if I join you," I turn around to see the headmaster standing behind me. "Not at all sir," I reply. "Beautiful isn't it," he says taking a sip from his mug. "Yeah I guess it is." I reply looking at the horizon. "Something's troubling you," I can't tell it if he's asking or if he's telling. "I guess I'm just unused with how my team functions so far. I mean I can't get two of them stop fighting and the other one will barely talk to us enough for me to know if he likes us or just doesn't care," Wait why am I telling him all of this, I didn't even tell myself this. "These troubles happen a lot at the start with teams, sometimes the best thing to do is to simply talk, though as the leader you must earn the respect for the change to happen. Initiation can be the key. In the end what happens is decided by you," after he finished talking he took a sip of coffee, patted my shoulder then walked away. Some things that he said did make some sense. I needed to talk to my team. With my mission in mind I walked to the cafeteria, and when I got there I was rewarded with seeing Pan trying hard to impress a girl. He wasn't making any progress, so I went up and tapped his shoulder. With his attention averted the girl walked away. "What's up mate," he said with casual grin on his face.

"We need to talk," I tell him with the same tone I would use on one of my siblings. "About what," His grin gone, he looked at me skeptically. "Something that concerns the team, we need to talk somewhere a bit more private, so let's head back to our room and we'll talk," He shrugged at that and followed me back to our room where we found Ash studying. "Is something going on," she asks after looking at both of our faces. "Um yeah, Wasp just wanted to talk to me-," I cut him off at that. "Actually this concerns you too, so please stay seated," Ash looked slightly off put by my tone. I just need to get this over with, so I go straight to the point. "You need to stop arguing." "That's what this about," They both say. "Look mate, if this whole "Meeting" thing is about our bickering, then this is a waste of time," Pan looks kind of annoyed at this, but I don't really care right now. Ash also chimes in, "Yeah, I mean our bickering isn't even that bad." "Oh really, then why was it that during initiation you two almost got killed because of it. If Soos and hadn't helped you take out those Grimm that were attracted by your bickering, you two could have been killed. And this even just from that every time that you two are just by yourselves, you immediately start arguing, if that happens in the field all the Grimm nearby will just hone in on us. To put it bluntly, your arguing makes us a target," after I finish talking they both look kind of guilty, and I wonder if maybe I was a bit too hard on them. "Look Mate, I'm sorry. Ash just pushes all of my buttons, especially with that nickname." "What you mean Goat-boy, what's wrong with that," Ash asks, her expression now curious. "What are you dense, I've been bullied over the fact that I'm a Faunus for most of my life. The only way you could have been more like my bullies is if you threw tin cans at me, and then tell me to eat them," And he's gotten angry, this cannot end well. "Well how the hell was I supposed to know that," She says every word while locking eyes with him. "Guys, this is what I'm talking about. You need to cut this shit out before it becomes a problem," After I said that they begin to grumble, I then grab their hands and force them to shake. It's a start at least, and these two were the easy part. I now had to deal with Susanoo.
