Chapter 4
AN: Okay I think I will just put an Author's Note in the story if there is something I need to say. So if you don't see an AN in the future, it is because I've nothing to say.
I have one bit of information regarding Sam to share. Being that he was born and raised in Hell, Sam was around A LOT of angry people. With being around so many angry people, he became a person who uses curse words very often if he feels the need to express himself with cursing… so don't be surprised if you see Sam speak rather vulgar to certain people or when certain things happen.
Also, I'd like to thank DeceiveroftheGods for his continuous help with this story. He's been helping me with certain scenes and how I should approach them. I am extremely grateful for his help on this story of mine.
Now to pick up where we left off on the last chapter.
BREAK
As Sam woke up at his regular time of six in the morning he was wondering why he was outside his team's room, as he remembers passing out INSIDE the room, not on the outside. 'The fuck… why am I outside of our team's room? Didn't I pass out inside the room?' He picked himself off of the cold floor and noticed that there was a note on his team's door. "What is this?"
Pulling the note off of the door, Sam was able to see that the note was for him specifically.
"Hello S. We, the members of what used to be Team RWBY, have come to a unanimous decision regarding you. We feel that since we know nothing about you except for the one letter name you go by, that we do not trust you to sleep in the same room as us. Upon passing out on the floor of the room we are to share with you, the rest of us began talking about what we should do with you. Since you are obviously reading this note, you can see that we decided to move you outside the room to have you sleep outside, as we do not trust an unknown person such as yourself to sleep in the same room as the rest of us without knowing a thing about you. Sincerely, the first four members of the now named Team RWBYS."
Upon reading the note from the rest of his team, he perceived it as offensive to him, as the 'team' he was to work with couldn't even trust him to sleep in the room they were all supposed to share. He then balled up the rather offensive note in his right hand, and creating a fireball in his left hand via sparking his fingers against his palm in a manner that looked like he was making a fist in his left hand and then subsequently opening said fist to have the fireball appear. Throwing the note through the fireball, it came out of the other side as nothing but ashes in the wind. Clutching his left hand again caused the fireball the extinguish itself, leaving a few embers in his hand as a result. 'Well… if that's what your girls really fucking think about me, then why don't I leave you girls a little message confirming that I got your… note.'
With the embers still left in his hand, Sam decided to burn a handprint into the center of his team's door. After looking at the mark he made on his team's door, he decided to walk around the campus of Beacon and find the rooms of the classes he was going to be taking that day. He was surprised to actually see some students moving around this early in the morning… although chances are that they were just coming back from a party that they went to the night before.
Pulling out his scroll from its pouch. "Ugh dammit, where the hell are these teacher's fucking classrooms, I've been walking around this damn school for an entire hour already?" To busy looking at his scroll to find his classrooms for the day, he didn't see that there was a female Faunus with bunny ears walking towards him with a large stack of books in her hands that obstructed her front field of vision. The two eventually bumped into each other and fell to the ground. "Oww what the fu- OH SHIT I'M SO SORRY MAM!"
As Sam saw what he had done he realized that he had bumped right into a student with a rather large stack of books, which were now sprawled all around him, and he could find where his had landed but he suspected it was under one of the books.
"I'm so sorry mam I didn't mean to bump into you, I wasn't looking where I was going." Sam worriedly said, as he was startled to have bumped into someone else, and worried that this person he bumped into would be mad at him.
"I-It's okay I should have b-been looking where I was g-going… please don't be mad at m-me!" The girl spoke with fear in her voice as she felt like she was the one who at fault for bumping into Sam.
Sam spoke with a tone of regret. "No mam it's not your fault. I should have been looking where I was going; you had a pile of books in your hands, there was no way you could have seen me coming. Please allow me to help pick up those books of your."
Reaching for a book to pick up, Sam's hand and the girl's hand touched each other as the two were reaching for the same book. Pulling her hand back quickly she spoke. "I'm so sorry!" She shielded her face with her hands. "Please don't bully me!"
Picking up the books he had caused her to drop, Sam was confused at what she said. "Bully you!? Why would I ever bully you!?"
"Because I'm a Faunus! Most people pick on me whenever they see my rabbit ears and call me a filthy Faunus."
"Wh- I would never hurt you! So you're a Faunus, big deal, that doesn't make you any less of a person just because of what you are!" Sam was bordering on yelling at the girl in front of him for thinking that she was inferior to him.
Shocked that this person was not going to pick on her. "What? You aren't going to bully me because I'm a Faunus?"
"Of course not. You aren't any less of a person than I am. So what if you have a pair of extra appendages, that doesn't make you any less of a person than me just because of your race."
"Why are you being so nice to me, nobody else has ever been this nice to me before?"
"Well maybe it's about time someone did. I can't think of a single reason why you should be treated any differently than me."
"Thank you very much… my name is Velvet." She stretched out her hand towards Sam. "Velvet Scarlatina."
Reaching out to shake her hand. "My name is S. A pleasure to meet you Miss Scarlatina."
"Your name is S?"
"That's what I go by."
"Is there a reason you go by that name?"
"I use that name for the people that I haven't spent enough time to get to know very well yet."
"So if you got to know me better you would tell me your real name?" Velvet said happily, as she felt that she could make a friend with this person who hadn't immediately bullied her.
Chuckling to himself at how happy she sounded. "Yes. If I do get to know you very well then I will let you know what my REAL name is. I do have one question for you Miss Scarlatina… does how I look not scare you?"
"Well I will admit that you did seems scary when I first saw you… but when you didn't immediately bully me and offered to help me, I guess I just overlooked how you looked. Now that I get a better look at you, you don't seem all that scary like I when I first saw you."
Cracking a small under his mask, Sam spoke. "Well Miss Scarlatina, it would seem to be that you are the first person I've meet here at Beacon to show some sign of friendship towards me. If I get to know you some more I might tell you what my real name is."
"I would like that"
"Well to show you that I'm thankful of you not being so afraid of me… and as a sorry for bumping into you and causing you to drops them; I'd like to carry these books for you."
"Thank you S… I would like that." Glancing to her side, she noticed a scroll lying on the floor and picked it up. "Is this scroll yours?"
"Ah yes! That's my scroll. I must have dropped it when I bumped into you. Can you put it into the top pouch on my chest armor… I would do it myself but my hands are a little preoccupied at the moment."
Doing what Sam had asked her to do, she put his scroll into the top pouch on his chest armor. "If I may ask, what are you doing wandering around the campus this early in the morning? Didn't you just complete your initiation yesterday?"
"The reason for me wandering around the campus this early is because I'm trying to find my way around this school… and find where my class for today is. As for your second question… yes, I did complete my initiation yesterday. It was not the easiest thing to do."
"Yes well initiation isn't the easiest thing to do. I remember when I completed initiation last year… definitely NOT easy." Velvet said, with a bit of laughter in her voice as she remembered the rough time she had during her initiation. "If you are trying to find your way around the campus… I could give you a tour if you wanted. It's the least I could do for you carrying those books for me." Velvet shyly said, as she was trying to hide the blush on her face from this person that had been so polite and friendly to her.
"Thank you very much Miss Scarlatina, I would like that tour of the campus very much… but first we should probably take care of these books of yours."
With the blush still present on her face, Velvet spoke. "Yes we should, the first place I'll take you to will be the Library so that we can take care of those books… and please… call me Velvet. Calling me Miss Scarlatina makes us seem like we're stranger."
'She looks so cute with that blush on her face.' "Very well… Velvet. Let's make our way to the Library so that we can take care of these books, that way we can get to that campus tour you offered me~" Even though Sam's voice was void of emotion thanks to his mask's voice modifier. Velvet could still understand how he said that last word and began to quickly walk towards to Library in an attempt to keep a serious appearance in front of this person who was causing her to blush.
Following Velvet, Sam noticed that she was walking unusually stiff, as if she was trying to appear serious in front of her underclassman. Sam took note of her odd behavior and reminded himself to ask her why she's walking like that. He would ask her why she's walking how she is, but he had to pay attention to the stack of books he was currently holding. Once the two made their way to the Library, Sam walked to the front desk lady and placed down the stack of books on her desk. "Excuse me librarian, Velvet and I are here to return some books she checked out."
Taking note of the large stack of books on her desk, she gestured for the two to leave her to the mound of books she would now have to sort and return to their correct place on the shelves. Exiting the Library, he remembered that he needed to ask Velvet what was going on. "Hey Velvet, what's wrong? I noticed you walking like some kind of soldier on the way here, is something bothering you?"
Shocked that Sam had picked up on her walking unnaturally. "N-no nothing's wrong with me I-I'm perfectly fine, nothing is b-bothering me." 'Oh no, does S know!?'
'Hmmm… something is obviously causing her to act all nervously. Better just let her be, if something is wrong she might tell me. Don't want to make her feel pressured and all' "Alright, just checking. You had me worried there for a second, I thought something was wrong."
'Phew, he let it slide. C'mon Velvet pull yourself together, he's just your underclassman… your underclassman who is being incredibly nice and polite to you. Gaaahhhhh stop thinking like that Velvet, he needs you to take him through a tour of the campus, remember that. Wait… is S a he or she? I can't tell with all that armor. Note to self, ask S later if he IS a he? Or if he is actually a she?' Regaining her true posture that didn't make her walk like a soldier, she began taking Sam on a campus tour.
After walking through the school exits and around the outside of the school for a while, the two came to a stop at the Beacon Gardens. "Okay S, here is the Beacon Gardens. Most students come here to unwind, take in the scenery, and generally enjoy the atmosphere here. This garden has an assortment of flowers that range all the way from tulips and roses to daffodils and chrysanthemums. The garden also has a somewhat medium sized pond in the center of it all that houses small fishes and the occasional turtles that make their way here from wherever it is that they come from. Do you have any questions about the Beacon Gardens or shall we move on."
"Have you ever been here with your boyfriend?" Sam asked in a humorous tone in an attempt to get her to blush again.
"I've never brought my boyfriend here… can't bring what you don't have. It's not very easy to find love as a Faunus, most people find our kind to be disgusting and or as a lesser being compared to Humans." Velvet said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
'Oh shit, look what you've done now Sam.' "Hey, I'm sorry Velvet. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that. I was just wondering." Sam said with a noticeable tone of regret.
Recovering herself from her moment of sadness. "It's alright S, you didn't know. Now if you don't have anymore questions we should probably get moving onto our next location." With a simple nod of his head Velvet knew that Sam was ready to move to the next location.
Walking back into the building, the two began walking down a long hallway to the Gym, but before they got there, Velvet stopped and pointed outside to an elevator shaft that led up to a large tower. "That S, is the Beacon Cross Continental Transmit Center… or as the students call it, The CCT. I would take you all the way up there, but we've got better places to see and visit. It basically serves as a way for the students to talk to family and friends who are in one the other three kingdoms." Once again, Sam simply nodded his head to let her know that he agreed.
"Hey Velvet. Do you know if the Gym here is any good?"
"Why… do you work out?"
"Yeah, for most of my life I've always been working out and training to be stronger. Whenever I asked my dad why he was having me train so much, he always told me that one day I would need to be strong for someone… never understood what he meant by that." Sam shrugged his shoulders. "But hey, a little workout is never a bad thing in my opinion."
"Well in that case…" Velvet opened the folding out doors to the Gym. "Take a look. Beacon has a rather extensive choice for workout equipment. We have equipment that ranges from treadmills all the way to bench presses, and most things in between. The Gym even has a sparring area for the students who wish to train against each other, or if they feel like settling a difference."
Sam was left speechless for a moment as he saw just how much Beacon had to offer. "WOW! When you said that Beacon has an extensive choice for equipment… you weren't kidding."
"Yes well that does help to make Beacon one of the most prestigious Academies in all of Remnant. If you are to create strong Huntsmen and Huntresses, you must have some way for them to get stronger besides sending them out on assignments."
Sam slightly snickered under his mask, as he knew that his definition of assignments was VERY different from the assignments Velvet was talking about. "Yeah, that is true Velvet. Good to know that there is a place here that I can go to workout when I feel like it."
Happy about knowing that she was able to help Sam, Velvet turned towards the exit of the Gym and began walking out. "C'mon S, there is still one place left that I haven't showed you yet."
"And what place would that be Velvet?" Sam wondered as he followed Velvet.
"The Dining Hall." Velvet replied.
Continuing their tour of the campus towards the Dining Hall, the two entered the Dining Hall once they arrived and saw that the lunch ladies were still busy preparing breakfast. Sam and Velvet opted for getting a drink and sitting down at one of the tables to talk about the rest of the tour they had gone on. "Hey Velvet, what would you like to drink?"
Walking towards a table that the two would sit at. "Oh, thank you S. Could you get me a cup of coffee with a bit of sugar in it."
"Milk based or water based?"
'Wow… respectful and courteous. You really got lucky meeting this one Velvet.' She thought happily to herself. "Milk based please."
"On it." Sam began making Velvet's coffee and then subsequently made his own, making sure to grab a straw so that he could drink his coffee wit his mask on. 'Man, I sure am lucky to have met Velvet. She's so sweet and caring… unlike a few girls I know.' Making his way to the table that Velvet was sitting at, he passed the coffee she requested to her.
"Thank you S, I was worried how the new batch of students would act once they saw me… but I can see now that not all of them are as bad as I thought they would be." Velvet said with a smile as she took a sip from her coffee.
"It's no problem Velvet, if anything, I was worried that most of the people here would just do everything in their power to stay away from me… or just oust me for how I look." Sam said as he gestured to his completely black attire.
"Well as long as they don't overreact and give you a chance there shouldn't be a problem." Velvet said, confident in her solution to Sam's problem.
Slightly laughing at the fact that his teammates did the exact opposite of what Velvet suggested. "Yeah that is a pretty good plan… I just wished that my teammates… if I could even call them that, thought like you." Sam's tone got sadder when he mentioned his teammates to Velvet.
Concerned for what happened to Sam. "What happened with your teammates?"
"Well first let me tell you the real reason why I was wondering the halls this early in the morning." Velvet put down her coffee and looked at Sam seriously to show that she was paying attention. "Yesterday after all the teams were made, Ozpin put me on a team with four other girls because I retrieved the unique relic. Once my team and I got to our room, I passed out INSIDE our room from exhaustion. The next thing I know I'm OUTSIDE our room and I find a note taped onto the door of the room we were supposed to share between the five of us. The note basically said that the girls don't trust me to sleep in the same room as them… probably because I look scary to them. Even if I look scary, that shouldn't have mattered because I was already out cold. They basically just carried me outside of our room and put me on the floor to sleep for the night. When I woke up I was outside of our room and confused as to why I was outside when I remember passing out inside. I then read the note, destroyed it, and decided to look around the campus… then I meet you, and you know the rest."
Shocked at the story that she just heard. "Wow… I-I'm sorry S. I didn't know you've had such a rough first few days here. I guess that both of us have been judged before anyone could get to know us… in a way… you're like me."
"Hehe… yeah… I guess that I just got lucky to meet a girl so nice and beautiful such as yourself."
Slightly taken back that Sam actually found her beautiful, Velvet began to blush once again. "A-A-Anyways, um if you don't m-mind me asking… are you a boy or a girl? I can't tell with all that armor your wearing."
'She seems trustworthy… I guess I can tell her.' Sam took a sip of his coffee and took a deep breath, as he was about to trust Velvet with a piece of information about himself that he normally kept a secret. "Now Velvet, I don't tell most people anything about me, including my gender…" Velvet lowered her head dejectedly. "But then again… you aren't most people." Velvet brought her head up with joy, as she knew that Sam trusted her enough to tell her his gender. "To answer your question… I'm a guy."
"I knew it!" Velvet said joyfully.
Taken back by the fact that Velvet knew that he was a guy. "Wait a minute! How did you know that I was a guy?"
"Well besides the fact that you just confirmed it right now." Sam face palmed his mask as he realized that he just confirmed that he was a guy. "You just gave me a feeling that you were a guy. The way you helped me out and how nice to me you've been just gave me the feeling that you were a guy. Even though most guys just ignore or bully me."
"Well, even though you know what gender I am, I would really like it if you keep calling me by just S. By that I mean no using words like 'he' to describe me."
"But why?" Velvet asked, confused by Sam's request to keep his gender a secret.
"Because I hardly trust people with any form of information about me. I know that you might want to tell people about me and say things like 'I just met this incredibly nice guy a while ago.' I know that it sounds stupid, but I am not the most trusting of other people, as you've already heard about how my teammates treated me… please don't make me trusting you a bad decision." Sam began to speak in a worried tone towards the end of what he said because he didn't want him trusting Velvet to be a mistake.
Shocked at Sam's request but eventually coming to understand why he made the request. "Ok S, I can see why you would want to keep this a secret from everyone, so I won't tell anybody about it… I promise."
Overjoyed that he didn't make a mistake in trusting Velvet, Sam unconsciously grabbed both of her hands and profusely thanked her. "Thank you thank you thank you Velvet, you have no idea how worried I was that you would go around telling people what I am." Realizing that he was holding her hands, Sam quickly let go of her hands as he began blushing under his mask. "Uhhh sorry about that Velvet, I was just… really, really happy that I could trust you with that bit of info about me."
'His hands… they're so… soft.' Velvet thought, as she was blushing just as hard as Sam was under his mask. "Uhh no problem S, I'm just happy to know that you trust me enough to know something about yourself. D-Do you have any questions for me about the campus?"
Remembering that he still hadn't found the classroom to the teacher he was going to have for the day. "Actually I do, do you know where Professor Port's classroom is?"
"His classroom is in the building we exited to get to here, just re-enter that building, walk down four classrooms, and his room is the fourth one on your left. I will warn you, he isn't the most… normal teacher you'll find here." Velvet said with a bit of worry in her voice, as she has had him in the past and knows how he teaches.
Laughing a bit at her remark about Professor Port. "Don't worry so much about me Velvet, while your warning for me is appreciated. I have meet more than enough people that aren't classified as 'normal' before and I don't think that number of people will stop with him."
"Okay S… good luck with his class." Velvet said with enthusiasm for this new person she has made progress towards becoming friends with.
"Thanks Velvet, I really hope I get to see you later~" Upon uttering those last words, Sam left Velvet with a heavy blush on her face and made his way to Professor Port's class.
BREAK
'Okay, Velvet said that Port's room was the fourth room on the le- Oh! Here it is.' Sam thought as he entered Port's classroom. As Sam entered Port's classroom he noticed that there were no students inside the classroom beside him. Checking the clock he saw that there were still thirty minutes before students were expected to trickle into their classrooms for the day. Looking down towards the teacher's desk he saw Professor Port slowly pushing a large metal cage onto the left side of the stage he was on. Making his way down to Port to help. "Professor Port could you use some assistance with that?"
Surprised that there was a student in his classroom this early. "Huh, oh hello there lad! Yes I actually could use some help moving this cage, it is quite heavy for me to move by myself." Professor Port's accent reminded Sam of a happier version of his family friend Mercer Frey, minus the rough and scratchy voice.
"Say no more Professor." Sam said before he began to push the cage with ease to where he thought the professor would want it. "There you go professor, is this where you want it?"
"A job well done lad, thank you for aiding this professor." Port spoke with a proud tone in his voice.
Correcting Port. "You're not just A professor, you are going to be MY professor in a bit… I'm one of your students now."
"Splendid, I'm glad that I get to teach such a respectful and helpful student such as yourself about the interesting study of the creatures of Grimm."
"Oh, so that's what this class is about. I was beginning to wonder what this class was about… then again that large cage should have given that away."
"Yes, that cage will be used for a test in my class today to see who is Huntsman or Huntress material… but seeing as you were so eager to attend my class, and for helping me move said cage. How would you like to be apart of the test umm…?" Port spoke with a tone of wonder, as he was unsure of what the name of the student that stood before him was.
"Oh my, where are my manners. You may address me as S professor, and I would really appreciate it if I could participate in the test."
Confused as to why this student only went by a one-letter name. "Very well… S. I shall have you be the one who participates in the test today. When the time comes, I shall call you down to this platform to complete the test. If I may ask, why is it that you only go by a one-letter name, surely your real name is longer than that… do you not trust me to know your true name lad?"
"No-no professor it's not that I don't trust you, it's more along the line that I don't trust the other students with my true name… that, and I have talked with Headmaster Ozpin about having the staff here address me as S. It's not that I have anything against the staff such as yourself, once again, it is just that I would rather my true name not circulate around the school unless I allow it to. I hope you can understand my reasoning for this."
"Hmmm very well S, I shall address you as S. Ozpin has never lead me astray, and if he will allow you to go around the school and only be addressed by the name S, then I shall allow it too." Port outstretched his hand to shake Sam's hand. "Welcome to my class S, I hope you learn a lot about the different types of Grimm during your time here."
Sam reached his hand out and shook hands with Professor Port. "Looking forward to it Professor. If you don't mind, could I sit in the very back of the classroom? I'm not to keen on sitting around many students."
"Of course S, you may sit wherever it is you please, just remember about that test I'll have you perform later on in the class."
"Understood Professor, and thanks."
"Think nothing of it lad, now I'd get a move on if I were you. Class is going to start in five minutes and some students are already starting to come in."
Turning his head around he saw that students were starting to flow into the classroom and take their seats. Nodding his head to Port, he started moving towards the back of the classroom where the seats were along the wall where the doors to the classroom where. By sitting in the very back of the classroom, Sam could see the students that would come into the classroom, but most of the time they wouldn't see him because most of the time they were to busy getting into the class to look to the side and see him sitting there. He saw the familiar faces of his 'teammates' that threw him out of their room enter the classroom and scurry to the front of the class without noticing that Sam was in the back. 'Perfect they didn't see me. Last thing I'm going to deal with today is those assholes. I've got better stuff to worry about, like this class for instance.'
As Sam finished getting himself ready for Port's lecture for today, the Professor started to give his lecture.
"Monsters, deeeeemmmoonnss, prowlers of the night. Yes the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them, as prey HAHAAAHAHA… uhhhh and you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy."
Sam had to stifle his laughter as the professor referred to the creatures of Grimm as demons. 'Pfft, these creatures of Grimm wouldn't stand a chance against a real demon. Sure demons aren't the brightest things in the Hell, but if you tell one of them to do one task they will more often than not get it done right… unlike these creatures of Grimm.'
"Now as I was saying, Vale as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world. Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces, and that's where we come in. Huntsmen, Huntresses…" At this point of his lecture Port made a clicking sounds towards Yang, as if he was trying to flirt with her. Once again, Sam had to stifle a laugh as he found Port's attempt at flirting with Yang rather funny. "Individuals who have swore to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From what you ask? Why, the very world!"
Upon that statement being said, a student stood up from his seat and exclaimed "Aaaaayyuuupp."
'Oh sit the fuck down you little dipshit.' Sam thought upon hearing the random student's sudden outburst.
"That is what you are training to become, but first… a story. A tale of a young, handsome man… me. When I was a boy…"
Sam really wanted to hear the story that Professor Port was giving, as Sam used to listen to the story of his family friends when he was young. Sam took an interest in the stories of other people's life's to hear of the things they've done. Sadly he missed most of Port's story as he was distracted by his teammates making noise and laughing at some sort of picture Ruby had drawn.
Professor Port regained the attention of the classroom by clearing his throat in a loud manner. "In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high… celebrated, as a hero." Port took a bow. "The morale of the story, a true Huntsman must be honorable, a true huntsman must be dependable, a true huntsman must be strategic, well educated, and wise. So who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"
Weiss raised her hand angrily, as she had been watching Ruby fooling around and not paying attention. "I do s-"
Professor Port cut Weiss off midsentence. "Is what I would ask if I had not already picked a student to show me if they embody these traits. S, if you would come down from the back so we could have you face your opponent please."
"With pleasure professor." Sam replied as he made his way down from the back of the Lecture Hall towards the stage where Professor Port was.
As Sam made his way down the steps he tilted his head off to his left and saw the shocked expressions of his teammates as they had no idea that he was in the same class as them. Making his way onto the stage, Sam stood a good distance away from the cage and stood in a relaxed stance, as he was not very afraid of whatever was in the cage. 'Ok, this cage isn't that big so it can only house some form of a small Grimm creature. The only kind of Grimm I could think of that could be the size of this cage is a Boarbatusk. Heh, those things aren't the toughest Grimm I've fought… but they do present a challenge for me. Looks like I'm gonna get to have some fun in a bit.'
As Sam was ready for Professor Port to release whatever was inside the cage, he noticed that his teammates were just looking at his with a mixture of worry and wonder in their eyes as they sat silently in their chairs. 'Why am I not surprised by the way they're looking at me right now. I wish Velvet were here. At least she's friendly towards me.'
"Alright, let the match… begin!" Professor Port announced, as he chopped off the lock on the cage with his weapon that seemed to be a blunderbuss with two-twin battleaxe blades attached to the stock of the gun.
Once the front of the cage fell down, a Boarbatusk was seen to be inside the cage. 'I FUCKING KNEW IT!' Sam yelled inside his head upon seeing the Boarbatusk.
Once the Boarbatusk saw that it was free from its cage it began charging towards Sam. Seeing that the creature was charging towards him, Sam rolled to his right to avoid being run into by the creature. Noticing that the Boarbatusk was still charging forwards, Sam reached to his hip and summoned a Stop Rune. He then threw the rune in front of himself, summoned his spear in his left hand, and jumped back to prepare himself for the Boarbatusk's next charge.
Coming to a stop near the wall it was charging towards, the Boarbatusk turned around to find the person it was charging to. Once the Boarbatusk saw where Sam had moved to, it began to charge towards Sam again… not noticing that there was a Stop Rune along the path it was going on. Upon activating the Stop Rune and being flung towards Sam by the momentum it had created by it's charge, Sam smirked under his mask as he knew that he was in complete control of the fight now… and he was intent on ending it. As he saw the Boarbatusk being flung towards him, he gripped his spear with both hands and prepared himself to kill the Grimm. Once he saw the Boarbatusk's underside he jammed his spear directly over where he presumed would be its heart, slammed the Boarbatusk to the ground, and shifted his spear forward inside the Boarbatusk to secure the kill.
Seeing that the creature was dead, he yanked his spear from the creature, outstretched his left arm like he had done when he summoned the spear and let it go, the spear began to turn into wisps of flames as it was deconstructed. After his spear was completely gone, he brushed himself of any dust that he picked up during his fight.
"Bravo BRAVO! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntsman in training. I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Be sure to cover the assigned readings AND… stay vigilant. Class dismissed.
Once Sam heard that the students were dismissed, he immediately left the classroom, as he did not want to stay any longer in a classroom with his so-called teammates. Knowing that Weiss would be exiting the classroom right after him, as she was rather frustrated at how her leader was acting during the lecture. Once he saw her exit the classroom he called out to her angrily. "Hey Weiss! Come out here NOW!"
Hearing her mysterious teammate call her to come outside, she begrudgingly went outside to see what he wanted. "What do y-"
"Can it Weiss! I'm going to cut to the chase as I can't stand to be near any of you so-called teammates of mine." 'Those persuasion lessons you gave me Hitler better have been worth my time. If they didn't… I'm coming down to Hell to give you a piece of my mind.' "What. Is your problem. With Ruby?"
"Well since you seen to be so intrigued with our leader, I'll tell you. All she's been so far is a nuisance. She has done nothing to earn her position. When we were in the forest she acted like a child and she's only continued to do so. I don't want to be lead on a team by her. I've studied, and trained, and frankly, I deserve better. Ozpin made a mistake in choosing her."
Still with his angry tone. "Oh for fucks sake Weiss get over it! Are you seriously going to doubt the decision of the headmaster here? Might I add that he has been making these decisions the ENTIRE time that he has been the headmaster here. If he hasn't made a SINGLE mistake so far, what makes you think that he'll start now?"
"But I have trained and trained for this! I should be the leader of this team. NOT HER!"
"Have you ever lead someone into battle Weiss? Have you ever even been to battle? Have you? I understand that she probably hasn't either, but she must've showed some sign of being a leader when you were in the forest together. Doesn't it make sense for him to choose someone who has shown at least some sign of being a leader to lead this team?"
"Well… yeah bu-"
"No fucking but's Weiss. Did she or did she not?"
"She did b-"
"Abupabupabup! You said that she did. So unless you somehow showed yourself to be a better leader than her when you were in the forest. I don't want to hear it."
"But S she acted and continues to act like a child."
"And how are you acting right now Weiss?" Weiss was about to respond but then she realized how she was currently acting. "The way I see it. If you guys were in the forest, surrounded by Grimm, and she showed signs of acting like a leader… then she wasn't acting like a child. She may not be the best leader… and believe me when I say that I know just how bad of a leader she is. She is still a better leader than you could ever be. You should be coming to terms with the fact that she is the leader of this team, and instead of whining about how you weren't picked to be the leader… you should be working on being the teammate this team needs."
Realizing that what Sam said is true. "Thank you S, I guess you're right."
"Oh fuck you and your thank you Weiss. 'Thank you' is not what should be coming out of your mouth right now, and until you figure out what you should be saying to me. I don't want to hear another word out of your fucking mouth." Sam said as he left the heiress to go get himself some food from the Dining Hall Velvet had showed him earlier in the day.
'Unbe-fucking-leavable! The first thing I learn about my team is that one teammate is already giving the leader crap… that's my job!' Sam stood outside of the Dining Hall. 'Okay Sam just go inside, get some food, and leave. If you move fast enough you won't have to deal with your so-called teammates at all.'
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Sam entered the Dining Hall. However, upon entering the Dining Hall, he was meet with two horrible sights. The first one was the leader of Team CRDL, Cardin Winchester, bullying a male fox Faunus by pulling his tail, with his teammates nearby making fun of the Faunus. The second was his teammates sitting down and looking, but not helping the Faunus out.
Shocked at what his teammates were doing, or rather not doing. 'Are you fucking kidding me. Another student is being bullied near you guys, and you're not doing a thing about it. Pfft why does this not surprise me. Very well, if you girls won't help the guy out… then I will.'
Seeing an apple roll from the Faunus's tray towards him, he picked it up and immediately threw it at Cardin's head while exclaiming. "Hey Cardin!"
As the apple struck Cardin's head, he let go of the Faunus's tail, which allowed the Faunus to run away, and grabbed the side of his head in pain.
"Oww! Who the Hell threw that apple at me?" Cardin spoke angrily to everyone inside the Dining Hall in order to find out who had thrown the apple at him. All of the students inside the Dining Hall put their heads down as to not be the next victim of Cardin's bullying. Seeing that there was one student looking directly at him Cardin called out to him. "Hey! Were you the punk who threw that apple at me?"
"Oh no Cardin it wasn't m- Oh come on Cardin who else is looking at you right now besides me?" Sam said in a mock tone.
"Oh you are so gonna get." Cardin said, as he was making his way towards Sam.
Still insulting Cardin. "Ooohhhh I'm shaking in my shoes. Come and get me you dumbass bully."
Getting near Sam, Cardin began running at him with his left fist ready to hit him. Once Cardin got within range of him, Sam caught Cardin's fist with his left hand. "Well what do ya know, were both lefties Cardin." Not letting Cardin get a chance to recover from his failed punch, Sam pulled Cardin towards him and smashed his mask into Cardin's face. As Cardin recoiled from his face being hit, Sam punched Cardin in the stomach, effectively knocking the wind out of him, and delivered a quick uppercut to Cardin's jaw while he was hunched over. While Cardin's head was flung back from the uppercut, Sam Spartan kicked Cardin in the stomach, which sent him flying towards the feet of his teammates.
With his teammates carrying him out of the Dining Hall in a hurry he exclaimed. "This isn't over yet S!"
'Ha, that's for damn sure Cardin… I haven't been able to kill you yet.' Sam thought to himself evilly. Looking to his side to see his teammates with their mouths all gaped, he left to go pick up his duffel bag from his team's room. Once he was near his team's room he sent a message from his scroll to the pilot of his aircraft to pick Sam up from Beacon immediately. Once he was in front of his team's door he laughed at the sight of the burn mark he put on the door in the morning.
Quickly cutting his laughter short, he entered his team's room and looked in shock as he saw what his teammates had done to the room. Aside from the things they put on the walls, which consisted of a painting and a poster of "The Achieve Men". What really surprised Sam was the fact that the four beds that were on the ground when Sam walked into the room, were now converted into bunk beds via one being held up by books and the other being held in midair by rope that was attached to hooks in the ceiling. Shaking the thought of how dangerous it was from his head, he threw his duffel bag over his shoulder, only for the rest of his teammates to enter the room and see him there.
"Oh, h-h-hey S. Hehe what are you doing with your duffel bag." Ruby asked as she rubbed the back of her head.
Choosing not to even look at them, Sam answered her question. "I'm leaving, what else does it looks like I'm doing."
Worried over what her unknown teammate had said. "WHAT! WHY!?"
"Oh, I think you know why I'm leaving, but if you're going to really be that dense about it I'll just say this. Throwing me out of OUR dorm on the FIRST night… probably not the best, or smartest way to leave a first impression."
"Look S, I know we got off on the wrong foot."
"Try the really fucking wrong foot!"
"But we're sorry about that S."
"Oh please, save your sorries for someone who is stupid enough the believe them."
Yang interjected while yelling. "Hey S, why don't you calm down with the way you're acting. Ruby said we're sorry."
"CALM DOWN! I think the way I'm acting is pretty normal considering the fact that my own team agreed TO THROW ME OUT OF OUR DAMN ROOM! In the middle of the night no less, with absolutely no warning and no reason other than the way I look. SO CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS, you all graduated from being jerks to being less than Cardin. Well done girls well done."
Suddenly Weiss got into the argument. "How dare you compare us to Cardin!"
"Oh no princess, I didn't say you all were like Cardin. I said you all are LESS than Cardin. 'Cause you see, at least Cardin is upfront about how he feels. No, you all had to be sneaky about it and not say a DAMN THING. 'Cause guess what girls, even thought he's an asshole, at least HE has enough honor to be an asshole in person. Hell even those Faunus he bullies get treated better than how I was treated by all of you."
Blake angrily joined in upon hearing Sam's comment about Faunus. "What do you mean by 'the Faunus he bullies get treated better than you.'"
Becoming really tired of having to explain himself to them. "Wow do I really have tell you girls everything. YOU ALL TREATED ME LESS THAN A FAUNUS! If that's even possible, you went behind my back and threw me out of the room; the least you could have done was be upfront about it, but no that didn't seem to matter to you all." Grabbing his duffel bag and leaving his team's room. "I'm leaving and that's that, but don't worry, I'll still be around for classes and things like that, but that is IT." Slamming the door on his shocked teammates, Sam made his way to The Beacon Academy Statue in front of the school were his aircraft should be waiting for him.

Yang was the first to come out of shock. "Wow… that… was a thing, wasn't it guys."
"Now that I think about it I… can't believe that we treated him like that." Blake said once she came out of her shock and revelations about how she treated her teammate. 'How could I treat him like that?'
"Do we even really know anything about him? I found out that he is at least capable of showing… some sort of concern. I used to doubt Ruby's skill as a leader until he talked to me." Weiss said, regretting the way how she had treated this person who helped her out, when she didn't even know a thing about this teammate of her's.
"M-Maybe if we catch him quickly we can apologies for how we acted!" Ruby finally said, as she just came out of her shock upon realizing just how badly she treated one of her teammates.
As the girls quickly left their room to go search for the fifth member of their team, they ran immediately to The Beacon Academy Statue, as that is where they all thought they would find their upset teammate. Sadly… it was too late, the only aircraft they could see had already left Beacon and none of the girls knew what the number of his scroll was so they couldn't call him to say they were sorry. All they could do was look at the aircraft leave, and regret how they had treated their unknown teammate.

To Sam inside the aircraft
BREAK
"Man… those girls have caused me more trouble in two days than I have ever had in my entire life. I need a devil smoke." Reaching into the last pouch on his chest armor and pulling out a devil smoke, he pulled one out of the pack of twelve and put it into his mouth. "Man am I glad that dad knows that I eventually need these things when I come to Remnant. I don't know how many times I would have gone over the edge without them."
Closing his hand into a fist, he quickly dragged his fingers along his palm as he opened his fist to see that he had perfectly created a fireball in his hand. 'Good to know that I can still make these.' Bringing the fireball in his hand towards the devil smoke in his mouth, he lit the end of the smoke, and crushed the fireball in his hand to snuff it out.
Taking a long drag of his devil smoke, he could already feel its calming effect taking over. Sam's mind was able to relax from all the stress his teammates had put on him, and it allowed him to think clearly without distraction. "Ok first things first, upon touching down on Vale I'm going to need a place to stay for the night. I don't feel like going over to 'The Vale Central Hotel' so that only leaves me with one other place to go… hehehe. Well it has been some time since I've last seem those three, I should pay them a visit and catch up on old times."
Looking out of one of the windows on his aircraft he could see that they were pulling into the warehouse he owned specifically to store his aircraft.
"Hello S this is your pilot speaking, just as a heads up. We will be touching down in the warehouse in a few seconds."
"Well, I better get myself a cab so that they can take me to my place. I'm going to have fun surprising them with my arrival." Sam said to no one in particular.
Exiting the warehouse and waving thank you to the pilot, Sam pulled out his scroll and called a cab company to send a cab to take him to his establishment. "Hello this is S and I'd like for cab to come pick me up from the port near the docks." He waited for the responder on the line to confirm the cab was on its way for pick up. "Thank you very much." After saying that last sentence he hung up his scroll and waited by the port near the docks for his cab to arrive. While he waited for his cab to arrive he continued to enjoy the devil smoke he was currently smoking.
Once he saw his cab come to a stop near him he created a fireball again, and threw the remainder of his devil smoke through it as a few specs of ash came out the other end, upon seeing the ashes he snuffed out the fireball again and made his way towards the cab. Entering the cab he simply told the driver to quickly take him to the establishment he owned.
Upon arriving at his establishment he stepped out of the cab and paid the cab driver the amount he owed for the trip and a little extra for his speeding past red lights to get Sam to where he needed to go quickly. "Ahhh its good to be back!" Casting his eyes to the windows of the establishment he owned, he noticed that the windows were broken. "Uggghhhh great! Looks like things either got really good… or really bad here. I'll deal with whatever caused this tomorrow."
Opening both doors to his establishment he saw two things. One was that the inside looked like it had gone through a hurricane, which Sam would take care of the next day. Two was that he saw the first three friends he had ever made during his time on Remnant.
"Hey! Junior, Melanie, Miltiades… long time no see friends!"
