The students all rushed into the cafeteria, most of them searching for a big berserc. Suddenly Yang stopped her team. "Wait a second. I´ve got an idea, follow me." Without waiting for an answer, she turned around and left.
Team RWBY moved into the Academy Gardens, where a big redheaded guy was sitting on a bench, drinking his coffee in peace. Yang stopped right beside him. "Well, hey there, big guy." He sighed. "I got here, because I hoped to get a little peace. Appears, I was wrong. The hell do you want?" He looked at the four girls, not really happy to see someone. The blonde spoke again. "Well, it was a pretty awesome performance in the forest. We wanted to congratulate you." Before he could answer, Ozpin got to them. "Great, you´re all here. I was hoping to meet all of you at once." Vladek got up, looking at the headmaster. "What´s up, Oz?" Ozpin spoke with his usual, calm voice. "Well, I guess you already met those four, charming ladies. Let me introduce them to you once more. Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xia-Long and Ruby Rose. Those Ladies are team RWBY, led by Miss Rose. And you, my dear Vladek, will be the unofficial fifth member of this team." "What?" Everyone asked this with a different emotion. Yang and Ruby were happy, Blake asked in disbelief, Weiss seemed almost angry and Vladek just seemed bored. The berserc shrugged his shoulders. "Meh, whatever."
Because of Professor Ozpins orders, Team RWBY showed the berserc around school. The dining hall, the library, the amphitheater and last but not least, the dormitory. Weiss stopped. "This is our room. I don´t know, where you´ll stay." Ozpin walked down the corridor and stopped beside them. "Oh, Vladek will be staying in your room for now, until we find a better solve for this problem. I hope, this won´t cause any more problems, because you only have four beds." Vladek shook his head. "Don´t worry. I can sleep on the floor for now. Had worse." Ozpin nodded. "Alright. It was a long day. You should sleep for now." Without waiting, team RWBY went into the room.
Once the door closed, Weiss turned around. "Alright, first of, there are a few things you should know," she said towards Vladek. It was already clear, she didn´t like the fact he was staying here. But the tall man just looked at her bored. "And what could that be? Maybe that you´re called ice queen for a reason? Or that Miss Rose here is a naive optimist and sees the world only in black and white? Or that goldilocks here has anger issues?" The girls looked at him shocked and he continued in a calm voice. "I´ve read the profiles and dossiers of every student in this year. I know all the facts. But what I didn´t know, was something about Miss Belladonna." He turned towards Blake. "I never read, that you´re a faunus." Blake was shocked. "What? How?" Vladek let out a short laugh. "I was right. Let me tell you. Your bow moves on its own. I wouldn´t have noticed, if I wouldn´t knew a girl that did the same to hide her ears. But she lived in a place where faunus...," he paused for a second, changing the sentence in his mind. "Where people don´t like faunus. But this is Beacon. So why hiding? Are you a criminal? No, too obvious." He started scratching his head. Suddenly he looked up. "You´re a former member of the White Fang." From the obvious expression on her face, Vladek knew, he was right. He nodded and turned back to Weiss. "So, if that´s all, I would like to sleep now. I had a long day."
The girls went to sleep with mixed feelings. Ruby was amazed by the skills her new team member had, Weiss was angry and she couldn´t stand him, Yang just couldn´t understand this guy and Blake was still awake, wondering how this guy could uncover her secret this fast. After a while, when her team members were asleep, she looked to the place where Vladek was supposed to sleep. To her surprise, he was sitting, with his back against the wall. His eyes were open and his right fist opened and closed. Again and again. It looked like he was on guards duty. After a few minutes, she sat up. "Vladek?" He looked in the direction of her voice. "Huh?" She took a deep breath. "I wanted to ask you something. What do you think of me, now that you know..." "I don´t give a fuck," he stopped her in the middle of the sentence. She looked at him surprised. He slowly continued. "You´re a former member of the White Fang, so what? I don´t give a damn. You wanna know, why? Before I got here, I was a mercenary. Yeah, I killed people for money. You were a terrorist. So what? Many people have a dark past. It doesn´t matter. What is important, is the present. I´m here, because I want to do something good for all the bad I did. For all I care, you could´ve been a baker and I wouldn´t treat you any different. That´s it. And now, you should sleep, little kitty cat." Without answering, Blake laid back down, thinking about the words of this man.
It was morning and Yang got up with a yawn. Slowly she got out of bed, scratching her head. She grabbed her top, ready to change her clothes. She slowly pulled it up and just as she was about to pull it over her chest, someone behind her cleared his throat. She slowly turned around to see a tall man taking a sip of his coffee. "Morning, Goldilocks," he said with his dark voice. The following scream was loud enough to wake every single student in Beacon.
Vladek was standing in the corridor, right before the door. He was just wearing jeans and his gauntlets. The girls that passed by couldn´t help, but stare at the bersercs trained body. Another door opened and Jaune got out. He looked at Vladek confused, before he extended his arm. "Good morning, I´m Jaune Arc." Vladek took his hand and shook it. "Morning. Vladek Svart, new member of team RWBY, it seems." Jaune looked at Vladek and at the door, confused. "Why exactly are you out here?" Vladek let out a small laugh. "The girls threw me out, so they could change." Before Jaune could answer, the door opened again and Vladek walked back in.
He placed his cup on the table and grabbed his shirt. "If this happens every morning, I might need a chair out there," he said with a smile. Weiss looked at him angry, while Yang couldn´t help but smile at the things that happened. Vladek put his shirt on and turned to the four girls. "So, what class do we have now?" Yang laughed. "Grimm studies, with professor Port. Very interesting. One of our favourite courses. You´ll see why, within the first ten minutes." The girls all started laughing and Vladek looked at them confused.
It took him just five minutes. After five minutes, his head hit the table and he was sleeping. Snoring loudly, at that. Loud enough, that Yang, who was sitting beside him ,couldn´t understand the boring stories of Professor Port. Right now, she wasn´t sure what was more fun. Rubys self drawn pictures of Professor Poop or Vladeks loud snoring. It seemed like this guy could be fun.
