"So this is it then?" Cyril asked himself as he peered out the glass of the airship.
A vast and grand castle on the edge of cliffs slowly came into view. The spires of each tower of the building came through the clouds as the ship began its descent into Vale. As the ship drew closer to the cliffs of Beacon, Cyril's light blue eyes opened wide, impressed with the view of Beacon Academy.
"Wow. It's simply beautiful, don't 'cha think?" Asked a short, purple eyed Faunus girl.
"Yeah it's a breathtaking view." Cyril answered with an smirk. The girl's wolf-like ears perked up, then she nodded in response.
"This is the start of our new lives as huntsmen and huntresses, you excited?" She enthusiastically asked with a wide smile.
"Well of course, this is a new beginning, and you?" Cyril replied, cracking a smile of his own.
"Well I'm excited to finally get some action after training so hard to get in! I'm Amber by the way, Amber Aislinn." She answered back as she extended her hand out slowly.
"Hello Amber, I'm Cyril; Cyril Lian."
The two shook hands and smiled coyly at one another.
Before either could speak another word, a transmission came through to the airship's communications, interrupting a news broadcast. A hologram of a blonde, middle aged woman appeared.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among the privilege few who have the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsmen and huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage for such a task and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training to protect our world."
As the transmission ended a blonde haired boy ran off to the other side of the room, vomiting into a trash bin.
"Oh jeez, that's gross." Amber and Cyril said in sync. The two looked at each other and cracked a smile, both as wide as each other's.
"EWW YANG ITS ON YOUR SHOE! GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Yelled a younger girl in a red hood.
"I guess some people are having a rougher first day than us hey?" Amber chuckled, trying to hold back her laughter.
"Haha I guess so. So I'll see you around then?" Cyril chuckling in reply.
"I guess so." Amber said winking as she walked away.
Soon after an announcement was made. "Attention" the robotic female voice alerted, "We are now docking at Beacon Academy, please exit towards the front of the ship and have a nice day."
With a smirk, Cyril quietly said to himself, "Welcome to Beacon."
