Chapter 3: Weapons of Wonder?
I walked around the temporary room the headmaster had let me use. I finished putting on the clothes that the girls had gone out and got for me for my first day of school. I stuck with the loose fitting black v neck and black basketball shorts. They even go me a pair of thick light brown Lugz that thudded with every step.
"I hope they didn't spend too much on all this." I said as I looked at my reflection in the window.
"Oh it was nothing just think of it as a welcome to your new life present." Ruby said as she skipped up next to me.
"That's because Weiss paid for it all and we didn't spend any money." Yang said as she sat in a chair.
"Well I'm sorry that I spent all my allowance money dad sent me. Where was your money?" Ruby said accusingly.
"I spent it on dates and gifts for Blake." Yang said matter-of-factly.
"I had some money left over but Weiss didn't want me to spend it." Blake said as she leaned against the wall.
"Well either way thank you girls, especially you, Weiss." She looked down and away but smiled back.
"No problem." She kicked at the ground.
"Where am I supposed to go?" I said to myself as I picked up the piece of paper with the directions and my class list on it.
"Weapons class." Ruby said as she snatched the paper from my hand. "Then History then unarmed combat and then lunch." Ruby handed the paper back to me.
"Well since we all have weapons class right now let's go." Yang pushed on my back and the rest of the girls headed out the door.
"Speaking of weapons you don't have one yet do you?" Weiss asked as we walked to the class.
"Well at the facility I had something you could consider a weapon. They usually had me fight people after I had recovered from a big test." I said thinking back.
"What type of weapon was it?" Blake opened the door and led us in. I entered the room and looked towards the front. I looked at the woman standing next to the desk.
"Doctor Serena?" I asked in shock.
"Oh well hello you must be our other new student, Icarrus was it?" She walked up and smiled. "Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang I understand needing to show the new student around but that only takes one person, now take your seats please." The girls hurried off into some empty chairs and the woman led me to the front of the class.
"Doctor Serena?" I asked louder. She leaned in and whispered in my ear.
"There isn't much time to talk for now just know that my sister is safe." She turned towards the class. "My name is Ms. Samantha. Now class this is your new classmate, please introduce yourself." She put her hand on my shoulder and gave me a nudge forward.
"Uh-I uhm my uh." I stuttered trying to wrap my head around seeing this woman who looked exactly like Doctor Serena. I shook myself and took a deep breath. "My name is Icarrus Sebastian and I have never been to school before so I'd like to have a real experience."
"Hey new guy what kind of weapon do you have? Is it something cool like the new monkey guys?" An arrogant looking boy said.
"I actually don't have a wea-" I was cut off by Ms. Samantha.
"Actually Icarrus these came in today and they were addressed to you." She handed me a metal box and I opened it. I pulled out my weapons from the facility, a single black metal gauntlet and a black metal knuckle knife. I slipped my right hand into the gauntlet and held the knuckle knife upside down in my left.
"Anima Mortem? I didn't think I'd ever see them again." I smiled shifted them into their sheathed forms, the gauntlet became a bracelet and the knuckle knife became a glove with a wing symbol on the back of my hand.
"Whoa cool his gauntlet looks kind of like my Ember Cecilia!" Yang shouted from her seat.
"Kinda. I meant other than it being all black with those purple highlights and the fact that its texture looked like bird feathers." Weiss said from next to her.
"Forget the gauntlet did you see the blade on that knife?" Blake was nearly out of her seat.
"I know right? It looked like birds wing with all those smaller jagged edges on the back." Ruby was standing out of her seat.
"GIRLS QUIET DOWN." Ms. Samantha shouted. "Now Icarrus please take a seat next to Mr. Wukong he is our other new student. Mr. Wukong please raise your hand." She said and a blond haired male waved his hand lazily.
I walked over and sat next to him trying to ignore the stares of the other people.
"Hey I'm Sun." He stuck his hand out and I shook it. "So you're the famous Icarrus that Blake and Yang kept talking about."
"Uh yeah I guess so." I smiled awkwardly and looked at the girls; Yang and Ruby smiled and gave me the thumbs up while Blake and Weiss just smiled.
"Alright class now we if I could have you come up one by one and describe your weapon and well as show it to the class that'd be great." Ms. Samantha sat back at her desk as the first person came up. Time went by fairly quickly as each person stepped to the front of the class and demonstrated our technique with their weapon in all its forms.
When my turn came up I deployed my weapons and started performing various martial arts moves switching between Muey Thai, Boxing and Drunken Fist. After I stopped I looked back to awe struck faces except Sun, the arrogant guy and a girl with red hair and green eyes.
"Did I do something wrong." I asked Ms. Samantha as I leaned back towards her.
"No it's just that most of the students have little to no training and the moves you show were that of a master." She said with a chuckle. I put my head down and hurried back to my seat.
"Pure hand-to-hand eh? Very nice. Are you a master of any of those fighting styles you showed?" Sun asked as he leaned forward and rested his head on the desk.
"I guess, the doct- I mean the people I used to train with said if I was tested I would be certified as a master." I said trying to hide some of my past.
Sun nodded and closed his eyes; I looked forward as Ms. Samantha began talking about the different weapon types.
'So this is what a normal class is like? I could get used to this.' I thought to myself.
A/N: there are pictures in my bio of what his weapons look like as well as a description. The pictures are terrible because they are literally copy and pasted together quick ones so you get the idea. I am going to try and draw them when I get the chance so for now bear with me.
