*Blake POV*
The man whom we still had no name sat down right in front of me out our table after literally implanting Team CRDL into the cafeteria walls as if it was an everyday thing.
His face showed almost no emotion except for hunger that only showed on his face as he looked at the food that was on my plate. Seeing what he had just done I decided that giving him my food might be a good idea and I begin to slide my tray over to him.
He immediately puts his hand up at my movement and shakes his head, he then got up looked around until he found where the food was and immediately walked over to it. The people working there were just as frightened as the rest of us and it was evident as they shakily handed him food.
Once he had his food he walked back over to where we were, put his food down in front of me and began to sit down but before he could he stopped himself and walked back over to Velvet, who was still standing in shock as the rest of us were (only we were sitting). He seemed to again ask her if she was alright and when she nodded her head again he turned around coming back over and gestured at the same time for Velvet to follow. She did and when she began to follow he had a smile that could've hypnotized a goddess on his face. That smile, however, disappeared as quickly as it appeared and he was back to his straight face, which was admittedly pretty handsome.
He then sat down in front of me and Velvet, who had come over with him, now sat to the right of him. Before any of us could say anything though he began to eat his food, which was steak and mash potatoes. The food stood no chance and was scarfed down with complete ease.
We all just watched him in silence as he ate before he stopped eating about halfway through his steak and said, "You should eat too before you can't anymore, someone's coming." He then went straight back to eating his food after he said that.
We all had an pretty good guess as to who exactly that person was and taking no time at all after that statement we all began to follow his lead and scarf down our food.
The first one done out of all of us, besides the man, was Jaune who was quickly followed by Yang. She had seemed to be a lot more playful with him in the past couple of days but that wasn't my business at all, although I've already placed my bets with Ruby and Weiss on what will happen between the two but then there is Pyrrha. We all have our bets in now so there's no changing.
The man seemed to notice this as well, especially the way Yang's face was reddening whenever Jaune touched her. Luckily for Jaune though Pyrrha was to engrossed in her food to notice that. All the man did though was look at all three of them and smile, he definitely knew what was going on.
Not seconds after noticing this I was able to finish my food just as the door to the cafeteria door blew open to reveal our combat instructor, Mrs. Goodwitch. She had her usual slight scowl on that changed to an actual scowl once she saw where Team CRDL was still implanted in the cafeteria walls, all still unconscious.
She quickly got all four boys out of the wall with a flick of her ridding crop and brought all four of them to her feet. As they all got there, still unconscious, some medical people from the infirmary came into the cafeteria, picked the boys up and then left.
Once they were gone she briskly walked over to us and asked who did it completely ignoring the man who had his head on the table and was sleeping, she must've assumed that he was just another student as she couldn't see his face. However, when she asked that question he got up, looked at her and said, "me."
"Why would you do that Mr…"
"You can call me Mr. Ceribri"
"Why would you do that Mr. Ceribri?"
"Because I wanted to. They were picking on someone who was choosing not to fight back, it's pretty easy to see that she could kill them if she wanted," he says. We all have a shocked looks on our faces except for Mrs. Goodwitch who took it very smoothly.
"Are you a student here?" she asked after a minute or so of silence.
"No."
"Where are you from then?" she asked.
Pointing up and to the right he says, "About Three Billion miles that way." None of us really took his statement at face value but there was something about his voice and the way he said it told me that he wasn't lying.
"If that is the truth, then why are you here?" she asked with obvious skepticism.
"Three reasons. The first being that this is one of only 3 galaxies left in the universe that has life in it. Second being that my wife is in a different city for a music concert she's in that doesn't begin for another three days and the final reason being that I was really bored."
"So you decided to come three billion miles away from home because you were bored?" she asked with shock instead of skepticism this time.
"Yes. Also, I could get back home within the next five minutes if I wanted to," he says looking her straight in the eyes. Again it was a ridiculous statement but I felt myself being convinced.
"Well then will you follow me?" Mrs. Goodwitch asked him emanating power equal to the power we felt earlier in an attempt to intimidate him but it backfired.
"Yes," he says and the blast of power that came off of him must've been equal to a bomb going off in my face leaving me stunned, smoking and flat on my back. Being the first one up after this happened I noticed that it had happened to everyone else and the only one that was left standing was Mrs. Goodwitch who had an almost terrified look in her eyes if that was even possible for our teacher.
*Professor Ozpin POV*
I've never felt anything like that. What in God's name could that be? I ask myself as the tremendous wave of power washed over me and then disappeared just as quickly.
Getting up from my chair after it passed I look out my window to see Mrs. Goodwitch coming towards my building with a man in jeans and a white T. It was obvious that this was the being in which the power came from, there was no doubt in my mind at this as just looking at him made me uneasy. A feat that no one else has ever achieved.
My suspicions about the man being the culprit of the power came true as when he entered my room accompanied by Glynda. It wasn't that he was projecting his powers but the way he held himself and the fact that Glynda looked scared that told me this was the man. Maybe he can be an ally.
"Please sit down," I say in my usual voice right after taking a sip of my coffee.
"Thanks," he says sitting down in the chair.
"So what brings you here to my school?" I ask after he had gotten into the chair.
"Just looking around," he says as he actually began to look around the room.
"And that includes sending four of my students to the infirmary?" I ask him and I began to sip my coffee waiting for his reply. However, he waited until I was finished sipping the coffee until he spoke again.
"Better than a graveyard," it was an offhanded comment as if he didn't care and that it was no big deal but something told me that he would do it without a second's hesitation if he wanted to.
"I must ask that you refrain from doing that sir," I say.
"And I won't, they've probably learned their lessons. But if they haven't that a whole other deal. I won't kill them though if that's what you're thinking," he says and I let out a sigh of relief but then he continued. "There are things much worse than dying."
This not only shocked me to my core but it also made me actually scared for only the 5th time in my life. It then occurred to me that he still hasn't looked at me this entire time and that he's been surveying the room our entire conversation. This left me a little disgruntled but that soon faded as he looked at me and I wished in that instant that he had never looked at me.
When our eyes met I could see everything that ever happened to him and everything he went through. Those weren't even that scary though as the scariest part was when I realized that some of things happening were caused by him. It gave me nightmares on the spot just looking at his eyes.
This was starting to get a little too far out of my control. Time to reign it back in and make him answer some questions.
"So, (sip of coffee) other than the boys you attacked earlier do you harbor any intent to hurt anyone?" I ask. He looks again at me but what I had seen earlier was gone and replaced by what looked like curiosity but also an intent to do something.
"No, I don't intend you harm your students to that level again unless the situation calls for it," I let out a rather big sigh of relief at this as I knew the instant he came into my room that he ever opposed me I would lose. "However, I would like to train one of them in particular," he says after my sigh.
"Which one?" I ask genuinely curious. I wonder who he picked. All of the eight that found him have an incredible amount of potential to become top tier hunters and huntresses. The top three in my mind would be Miss Nikos, Miss Xiao Long and Miss Rose. However, Mr. Arc has the greatest potential out of all of them but I fear that he won't make it due to the fact of where his abilities are now.
"The tall blonde one. Jaune, I think his name was," he says scratching his chin.
"Why would you want him?" I asked in a calm tone and I was curious as to his reason.
"He has the most potential he just has no idea how to use it. I believe that I can remedy that pretty quickly," he says with complete confidence.
"And when exactly do you plan on starting that?" I ask him and he slowly smiled bearing pearly white teeth but they seemed to shine blood red.
"Next week, sometime when they are practicing fighting. Which I assume is your class," he says looking towards Glynda and she only responded with a nod. "I will begin his training during one of those classes but first I need to know when your classes are actually held?" he asked looking at Glynda.
"Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-5pm," she says looking at him seeming to give him attitude. He could only chuckle at that.
"You're just like my wife's sister," he says still chuckling. "I like that, she's a good person." This statement was followed by almost two minutes of silence before it was broken by myself.
"So, (sip of coffee) what will you be doing in the meantime while you wait for next Thursday. It is only Wednesday, you have over a week to wait," I say to him and the back of my mind was wondering from where exactly this man was from.
"I'm going to go home. I'm not going to sit and wait here for an entire week, I have things to do back home. Having sex with my wife and supporting her and her music being a few of the many," he says with a smile before standing up from the chair and leaving. Both Glynda and I just waited where he was until he was completely gone.
"What do you think?" I say to Glynda still looking at the door he had left through.
"I don't think he has any reason to lie to us. I am, however, worried about the way he'll go about starting the training Mister Arc," she says with her always present motherly tone.
"Well, we can only wait and see. For now, we'll interfere if need be," I say to her offhandedly while finishing my cup of coffee.
"I hope we don't have to," she said before leaving the room and myself.
"You're not the only one thinking that way," I say to myself
Just then there was an earth shattering boom from the middle of campus. At the same time all the glass in my room and probably the campus exploded, it even got in my coffee forcing me to get another cup. It was safe to assume that the explosion was him going to his home, where ever that may be.
~1 week and one day later~
*Jaune POV*
Holy hell. I did it! I finally beat the bastard, and fair and square to boot.
Cardin lay on his back in front me still unconscious from the hit he had taken to the face from the pummel of my sword. It had knocked the giant bully out as soon as it made contact and the feeling of satisfaction was undeniably bigger than any before.
My hands were already up in the air in celebration as a blur of gold and red came out of nowhere tackling me to the ground. The blurs ended up being both Pyrrha and Yang, who had started to help train me with Pyrrha about a month ago. They both had giant smiles on their faces and they were both simultaneously congratulating me on my victory. We were still on the ground smiling when there was an audible 'ahem' behind us belonging to Mrs. Goodwitch.
"Since you both are so energetic how about Mister Arc's victory how about you both fight to calm down," she says in her usual teacher tone but I could tell that she was also happy at my improvement.
"Okay," they both say getting up and going to the locker rooms to get on their fighting clothes as they were still in their school uniform. Cardin, on the other hand, got up and went to his team while I went to my friends who were watching from the bleachers and seemed to be just as happy.
"Great job Jaune," yelped Ruby who was quickly hushed by Weiss but she also gave a nod of congratulations.
"OUR FEARLESS LEADER IS AWESOME," Nora yelled and Ren looked as if he was going to calm her down but he quickly deemed it too much effort and didn't try. He also gave a nod of congratulations to me just as Weiss had done. Blake however, said nothing as I sat next to her and waited for the two girls to come from the training room.
"Do you know why they both tackled me?" I then asked as the question popped out of both my mind and my mouth at the same time. She turned her head with an ice cold expression on it and said with an extreme amount of malice.
"You're an idiot."
As she finished her words both Pyrrha and Yang had come out of the locker room and were now facing each other at the center of the ring. Something felt off about the two now though, they seemed to be ready to kill the other. Although you would expect this in a fight the level at which they were emanating this was beyond anything anyone here has felt.
Before they could start though there was a gigantic explosion at the doors exploding outwards towards us. We were able to dodge in time but the bleachers where we had been were destroyed. There was then a cloud of dust where the doors had once been and the man from a week ago strode through but he was completely covered in what looked like red dragon scales.
Mrs. Goodwitch immediately reacted to the situation and started fighting the man but he carelessly swatted everything she threw at him. After only a couple of seconds he had her by the throat in his hands that now looked like claws, he proceeded to slam her onto the ground breaking the cement and knocking her out cold.
Ruby immediately attacked him and she was quickly followed by Nora, Yang, Ren, Pyrrha and Weiss. I would've gone too but when I got up there was a cold piece of metal on my throat and a man's voice speaking into my ear, "Just watch."
It didn't even look like a fight to me though as he was dodging, blocking and countering everything they threw at him as if it was child's play and as quickly as it had begun he began to end it. His first two victims were Ruby and Weiss as he grabbed Ruby's cape, spun around at lightning like speed and threw her into Weiss. This sent both of them cascading into the wall out cold. Next up was Nora, when she attacked planning to avenge both Ruby and Weiss her swing seemed to get a little long as she tried to get as much power as possible behind the swing. Seeing this he took advantage of this and disarmed Nora by grabbing her Warhammer, kicking her in the stomach in the literal blink of an eye dislodging the Warhammer from her grasp and in the same motion he brought he Warhammer around and hit her dead in the chest sending her flying into one of the pillars out cold.
At this point in time both Pyrrha and Yang were going all out against the guy but he dodged them and countered all their attacks as they were nothing to him. As he tossed them back again they both flopped onto the stomachs and struggled to get back up but at this time a green glow began to illuminate the room, it was coming from Ren.
He moved faster than anything I've ever seen easily outpacing lighting itself. However, this wasn't nearly enough to stop him. The man was able to close both of his eyes, put one hand behind his back, and still block all of Ren's attacks as if he was fighting a child.
Ren's power didn't last long either as almost ten seconds later the glow was gone and he was panting in front of the man. The man then lifted his hand and flicked Ren in the head sending him flying into the stands next to me at an unprecedented speed.
By this time both Yang and Pyrrha had gotten up and were stumbling towards the man refusing to give up. Their attacks were feeble and week and all the man did was grab their wrists, twist them around and slam both of them to the ground one hand on each of their necks.
He then looked up at me and said, "Choose."
