Chapter 4: Revelations

A/N: I'd like to apologize for not posting this chapter yesterday and so early today. I was oddly tired after I got home and passed out on my bed. I guess thats what I get for not sleeping properly… Oh well. Anyways shout out to the two reviews, more followers, and over 400 views! I'm super happy that this story is getting more popular! As for the reviews:

Christian4991: You could say that the drake is a form of a baby or a lesser dragon just that it's a Grimm. Much like there's a beowolf and alpha beowolf or ursa and ursa major that kinda thing.

slayerinfinium: Are you doing a knight of remnant story? That'd be cool to read. I don't know what you're thinking but maybe you'll be right? Who knows…

Thanks so much for reviewing! I like to see those its encouraging, whether it's good or bad. Now onto the story!

"I'm not exactly what you would call human"

Real Chapter

"What do you mean by that?" Ruby asked.

"Well… Oh where to start? Do you know the story about the Dragons of Remnant?" Will asked

"Of course I do! Who doesn't? It's a childrens story. It's about the supposed war humans and faunas had with the dragons after the faunas war."

"Well, even though it's a children's story, it's a true story but it misses a few details."

"It's a true story?"

"Yeah I would know since I am a… Dragon Knight…"

"Really?" Ruby asked not believing him.

"You want proof?" Ruby nodded. Will sighed. He let his aura flow out and his body started to take on the properties of a dragon. Without using fire dust and showing that he wasn't using any Will blew out a small ball of fire.

"Wow…" Was the only response

"Yeah…" Will said bitterly as he changed back to normal.

"You don't sound happy about it." Ruby said picking up the tone in his voice.

"It's not that I resent it. It's just... even though I get all these cool powers it gets lonely pretty quickly."

"Oh…" Ruby didn't know how to respond. Then a question formed in her head,

"What about your parents?" She asked.

"Gone before I could remember their faces I never knew them."

"So they're dead?" Ruby asked sympathetically, but Will shook his head,
"They're gone not dead. I don't know how I know that, but something tells me their not."

"So what about your powers?" Ruby asked.

"Well… Enhanced aura reserve as you saw, an aura trick to get people to do what I tell them too,"

"The one you used on me in the forest?" Ruby interrupted. Will nodded and continued,

"enhanced strength, and intelligence, there might be more but more but I wouldn't know."

"What? You don't know if you have more powers than that?"

"These were the one's I discovered after years of training and researching. Remember when you asked me why I didn't have a lot of stuff?"

"Yes."

"It's because I never was in the same spot for long periods of time. Most of my time was spent moving from place to place finding out more about myself and what I could do." he explained leaving out the fact that he was also running from something that he couldn't explain.

"But how did you know you were a Dragon Knight?" Ruby asked.

"When I turned 8 I left the orphanage I was in and set out on my own. I didn't regret the decision to leave but an 8 year old living on his own is already a problem in itself. I was lost, tired and frankly quite sad. While I was thinking I fell down a hill and came to a stop in front of some abandoned buildings. Then remembering those 'children's stories' I realized that these were the Dragon Shrines. Looking for shelter I went to the main building. Inside there were these symbols from a dead language and I could read them. It was strange I didn't remember where I learned to read the language but I could. So taking full advantage of that fact I read the words which led me to the room where I found these." He said pointing to his swords, "These swords were sealed behind an ancient door that can only be opened by a Dragon Knight. The fact that I opened them led me to believe that I am a Dragon Knight." Will finished. Ruby looked at the swords for a moment.

"What are they made out of?" She asked

Will pulled one out,

"The blades are made out of Dragon Scales, and the hilt is made out of metal." He explained showing it to her.

"Cool. But I have a question."
"What?"

"Who's Wesley?" She asked again. Will sighed

"I am. Wesley is my first name. Will is my middle name."

"So why don't you use your first name?" Will put his hand on his chin,

"How to put this…" He said aloud, "Well the reason is that whenever someone uses my first name, as long as I'm within earshot, it causes me an immense amount of pain. I don't know what causes it before you ask." He said cutting Ruby off causing her to pout which only caused him to smile inwardly.

"Well how come you aren't in pain when I use it?" Ruby asked

"Well that I don't know. Like I said I don't know what causes it and I don't know why it doesn't happen when you use it." He explained. Then Will noticed how high the moon was,
"We should probably get back. It's late and we have class tomorrow." He said and Ruby nodded. The two headed back to their dorm. Before Ruby got into bed Will said,

"Ruby?"
"Yes Will?"

"Can you not tell anyone what I told you I kinda want that to remain a secret."

"Ok I won't tell anyone." She chirped causing Will to smile.
"Thank you Ruby." Was all he said before he went to sleep.

The next day

Ruby got up and looked around and saw her teammates still in bed except Will his bed neatly put away next to the wall. She glanced at the clock 7:30am it read. Deciding to forgo sleeping Ruby got out of bed to find a note next to it.

Dear Ruby,

I'm sure if you're reading this note you're awake. Anyways I wanted to remind you that we have sparring class today at 8:00am today. Also that I've been called to Ozpin's office and that I'll see in guys in class.

Sincerely,

Wesley W Sapphires.

After realizing it was 7:30am Ruby quickly pulled out her whistle and woke up everyone in the dorm and possibly the building.

Will

Will had now just arrived at Ozpin's office. He knocked on the door waiting for permission to enter. It was five minutes before Will knocked again and again and again. Losing patience Will was about to break the door down until he stepped on something. He looked down and saw that he had stepped on a book. The book had no title on it and on the inside of the cover was a note from Ozpin.

Dear Mr. Sapphires

I am currently out on business and unfortunately could not have the talk I intended on having with you so to express my regret I leave you this book. But as I promised in this book will explain more about what you are, however, this book contains little information and most likely lead to more questions than answers. We will talk more on the matter on my return.

Sincerely,

Professor Ozpin.

Will sighed and picked up the book then checked the time 7:35? Ruby and the others must be up by now. With that thought in mind he returned to the dorm. Only to find it empty it was only 5 minutes since he last checked the clock. Dang they move faster than I thought. Putting the book next to his bed he left for the sparring room where class was. He casually walked into class 30 minutes late.

"Hello Mr. Sapphires woke up a little late did we?" Ms. Goodwitch said to him. Will shook his head.

"No the headmaster called me earlier and I got a little lost." He lied although it was kinda the truth. It's just that he didn't get lost. Goodwitch seemed to accept his answer and when she checked her scroll to mark his attendance she saw a message from Ozpin.

Glynda,

Try to get Will to fight a lot today. There is something I want to confirm.

Ozpin.

Glynda sighed as she read the message before turning to Will and saying,

"Alright but as punishment you'll have to fight six times today... consecutively." To that Will shrugged.

"Fair enough." Was all he said before going to sit next to Ruby. The first match was Cardin Winchester, already deemed school bully, against Jaune Arc. Will didn't know much about Jaune but he admired his persistence and from what Jay tells him he's a good person. Cardin won easily and Will found himself raising his hand to get Goodwitch's attention.

"Is it alright if I take my punishment now but I'd like to fight Cardin."

Goodwitch's nodded, seeing no point in refusing the request, and Will hopped onto the stage. Tsk this guy doesn't seem to tough. Why did I do this again? Shaking his head he thought about how he was going to fight Cardin. Then he decided. He removed his swords and put them back next to Ruby and gave her a slight smile as his left eye turned silver. This caused her to gasp but before she could ask he said.

"Later." As he made his way back to the stage.

"Well this should be easy with you weaponless." Cardin taunted. Will simply smiled.

"This match was already easy I just don't want to dirty my swords against scum like you." He said angering Cardin.

"Alright you asked for it!" Cardin charged at Will who had his hands in his pocket and his eyes were closed. Cardin swung his mace and stepped back thinking he had won.

"Where are you aiming?" He heard a voice say behind him. Cardin looked behind him to see Will unscathed.

"I'm right here not over there." Cardin swung his mace again. To have the same thing happen. This process repeated for another 20 minutes before

"Mr. Sapphires would you please end the match already?" Goodwitch asked. Will pouted but then smirked "You're no fun Ms. Goodwitch." He said before Cardin swung again but this time Will dodged without his semblance focused enough aura into his fist and punched Cardin in the arm in the pressure point effectively making the limb go numb or he broke it Will couldn't care less but from Cardin's expression he broke it. He smirked and picked up the fallen mace.

"Geez this thing is heavy it feels like you're compensating for something." Will said causing the whole class to laugh. Cardin charged again only to get smacked in the face with his own mace. (A/N: Ha that rhymed :) ). Cardin was on the floor his aura still in the yellow. Will smiled evilly and threw the mace crushing Cardin's family jewels and dropping his aura into the red making Will the victor. Then Goodwitch announced Will's next five matches: Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Pyhraa Nikos, and Ruby Rose. This ought to be fun. Will thought. As Yang stepped up Will's eyes switched to red. How to make her release that fire? He pondered the question for a few seconds. Then an idea occurred in his head. An idea that involved her hair. So to start the match Will quickly pulled out a throwing needle and threw it at her causing her to dodge.

"Ha you missed!" She taunted but Will gave her an innocent smile.

"Oh I know I didn't I got exactly what I wanted." He said pointing. Yang looked to where he was pointing and saw that the needle had taken two long strands of hair everyone in the room sweatdropped and Ruby thought Is he insane!? As she looked at the two combatants. Will still held his innocent smile as Yang had tick marks appearing all over her face. Yang slammed her fist together causing a mini explosion.

"I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face!" She said before charging him her eyes flicking red. She swung her fist at him activating Ember Cecilia (her gauntlets in case anyone was wondering) he blocked the blow encasing his arms in aura. Ha that's what I'd expect from a dragon! Then he heard a clicking sound. He moved his head left as a shot fired past it. Oh great a firing mechanism as if this fight wasn't hard enough! Will thought. Yang continued her onslaught of attacks as Will parried and dodged, but still took a few glancing blows, them looking for an opening. His patience was rewarded as she tried to sweep his legs he jumped over it and saw Yang's fist heading for his head. But it hit nothing causing Yang to be surprised long enough that after Will teleported behind her and had his aura charged and he punched her hard making her aura instantly fall to the red.

"Whoo! Good fight Yang! That was fun lets do it again sometime!" Will exclaimed. The usual party girl only grumbled something in response it sounded a lot like "flocking grass moles" Will smiled as Weiss stepped up next. Will sighed this should be easy. So it was after Will retrieved one of his swords, and let his aura recharge did he fight Weiss for 5 minutes. They traded dust back and forth ice, fire, wind, and lightning. It ended with Will using a little bit of fire breath from his powers, disguised by a fake dust crystal, and using his semblance to get behind Weiss as he breathed fire causing Weiss' aura to drop to the red and covering the heiress in a layer of soot. Three down three to go. Will was now facing his black clad teammate. He didn't know much anything about Blake. Well here's my chance to learn. He thought. So his strategy was to make the first move and how she reacts will help him determine how she fights. He used his semblance to flash forward and struck out at her only to hit what appeared to be a clone. Interesting so her semblance is shadow cloning. I'll have to be careful. He thought as he blocked a strike from Blake. The two reset so Will and Blake began to circle each other. Will decided to strike first again only to hit another clone as Blake appeared behind him, he anticipated the tactic and teleported behind her and swing to hit yet another shadow clone. Danggit this is gonna get really annoying really fast. Will thought. Then Will realized that something felt off...his eyes were still red. "Tsk." Will jumped back with his eyes closed. To others he looked like he was taking a small reprieve. Blake thought it might be a trap and decided not to act hastily so she waited. But Jay knew better he still didn't know what the eye colors did to his friend but it changed him in some way he also knew Will never tired easily he once went a whole week without sleep and was still ready to fight the next day. Out of everyone here Will probably had the most stamina. Will now opened his eyes to show silver.

"Much better." He muttered quietly so no one, with human ears, could hear, but Blake heard him. What does he mean by that? she wondered. She completely forgot about the fight for a moment and Will had teleported behind her and hit her in the pressure point located somewhere behind the neck effectively knocking her out.

"That was… a lot easier than I had planned." Will said a little surprised at how easy Blake went down considering how hard it was to land a hit earlier on. His eyes returned to normal as he carried Blake off stage as his next opponent, Pyhraa, stepped up. Pyhraa Nikos world renowned fighter from Mistral and considered to be the "Invicible Girl"... This won't be easy but it will be tons of fun. Will thought. Pyhraa started first surprising Will as she fired her rifle, Milo he believed it was called. He wasted no time dodging as he threw needles at her she dodged right where Will predicted her to and threw another needle in advance but it missed. Will frowned he could have sworn that his aim was on point so why did he miss? Maybe because it was a prediction shot and nothing is always for certain. So he shrugged it off as something he could improve on later. Meanwhile Jay was having the same thoughts. That's weird Will usually never misses he spent a whole year trying to make his aim perfect or as close as to perfect as he could get at least. Will now decided CQC(close-quarter combat) was the way to go since he was out of needles so he charged Pyhraa forcing to change her rifle back into a sword as she parried his. They both took swings at each other looking for openings in the others guard. Finally Will had disarmed her knocking her sword into the wall burying it up to the hilt. Now to get rid of the shield. Will thought trying his hardest to knock the shield loose. He didn't succeed but he had managed to get around her guard and knock her down. While she was recovering Will swung his sword to try knocking down her aura into the red but he missed. What the-? Pyhraa was now using her shield as a discus and Will couldn't seem to land a blow with his swords. Everytime he swung he missed by an inch, probably less, or it was blocked by her shield. Then a memory returned to him Wasn't her semblance Polarity? Of course! I'm stupid I haven't been missing she's been manipulating my swords slightly to make it look like I'm missing! Wait where did I remember this from? Then pain lanced through his head.

"Agh!" he cried clutching his head and Pyhraa kicked him in the chest hard into the wall. On the screen Will's aura started depleting slowly from light green… to yellow… to orange but stopped on the borderline of red. No choice then. I just need enough to get back to full. Will thought as his aura cured his headache and the kick he received. He tapped into his inner strength and everyone watched in amazement as his aura went straight back to full. Some of the students were mumbling about the system being broken or that Will is somehow cheating. Ruby and Jay knew this wasn't to be so although maybe tapping into an alternate power is a bit… unfair. Luckily the screen didn't flash Will's actual name but something was still off. Will's eyes which were silver and red were now a yellowish color and his pupils were slits. When Will, realizing this, cut off the power so he returned to normal. Damn that was close. Where did that memory come from? He thought as he still clutched his head as it was still aching albeit a little dull. Shaking it off Will sheathed his swords and let them drop to the floor. His eyes flashed red as he put on a confident smirk. Oh well I'll think about it later. But now I got a match to win! Pyhraa readied herself but Will's semblance was too tricky. Will flashed his semblance as he teleported all around Pyhraa making his own openings getting around her shield. The matched ended with Will sending an aura enhanced axe kick down knocking Pyhraa's aura into the red granted she was still standing. Whoo! That was harder than expected! She put up a good fight and is really tough granted she is a world renowned fighter. Now who's next? Will thought forgetting about who he had to fight last.

"Please step up Ruby Rose."

"Aw crap!"

A/N Yeah cutting it off here. Again tried not to make Will seem overpowered again but if it came off that way let me know I'll try my best to correct it or let me know how you would have written it and I'll try to implement the idea. Plus some backstory on Will let me know how that was if you liked it or not. Again sorry for not posting on Thursday, technically, I'll try to make it up with two chapters today or over the weekend. Also update dates may vary I'm lucky currently school is kinda slow and I've a lot of time to write. Reviews are appreciated and I look forward to reading some! Thanks!
