Here's Chapter 9. i would have had it done last night but i was sleepy so I'm doing it a read and tell me what you think.
Chapter 9: Just a Normal Day
It was pretty funny watching most of my friends stumble as we made our way to the airships. Jaune who obviously didn't like flying began letting body fluid flow into a trash can. Phoebe still hyper from my aunt's desserts was pacing back and forth. As the airship landed our friends took lead. I held Velvet's hand as we entered BEACON walking her to her dorm room.
"This is it I'll see you in the morning for class then?" Velvet said standing in front of her door.
"Yeah I'll try to wake up early this time I swear. "I said rubbing my head.
"Good I'll see you tomorrow then." She said kissing my cheek. "Goodnight Trey."
"Night Velvet." I said before I started walking towards my dorm.
I opened the door to my room and saw my teammates dead asleep. I saw this as my chance to shower so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning like the others. Afterwards I changed into my sleepwear and noticed a box on the counter that wasn't there before . picked it up and read the note attached to the top. "Happy Birthday Trey!". I don't remember telling them my birthday...maybe Aunt Katherine told them .I opened the box and inside it was a silver ring with the crests of my teammates. Anna's fox head with fire surrounding it, Roland's crossed iron fists, and Phoebe's bloodstained machete. Through further examination I found my symbol as well. Before I put on the necklace Velvet gave me I slipped the ring onto the chain and wore it proudly. Being on the bottom bunk I slipped under Anna's hand and laid down. I heard voices in my head that night. A hellish voice just kept ringing throughout the night.
"Release me!"
"Soon you will be consumed."
"You can't keep me locked up forever..."
Before I knew it my alarm went off."7:45 AM".I freshened up and put my uniform on. Since class didn't start until 9 o'clock I took this time to go over my gear, setting my weapons down on the workbench. My revolver and rifle were in perfect shape though Marcie needs repairs. Come to think of it I never did name the rest of my weapons. Marcie had its name carved into the pump so I think I'll do the same to the others. I grabbed the carving tool from the bench drawer and began to think of names to use for my rifle. After a few rounds of elimination I carved the name "Soul Reaver" on to the red frame of the newly named rifle. As for my revolver I chose the second place name "Moon Fury" and etched it into the barrel of the silver metal. That should do it. I looked at the time on my scroll."8:17 AM". I think I'll go grab something to eat. Grabbing a coffee and bread I sat down and fiddled with my scroll. Professor Port took a seat across from me not sure how he got there without me knowing I just looked up and he was there.
"Good morning Mr. Storm-shield." Professor Port said with that huge mustache of his.
"Good morning Professor what I can I do for you? I asked taking a sip from my coffee.
"I've been hearing a lot from you young man. In specifics I heard you broke an Ursa's neck using only your fists?" He said.
"That is correct... why do you ask?" I said paying attention to what he was going to say next.
"I would like to use you for a demonstration for this morning's class you be so kind as to show up a few minutes early to prepare?" He requested
"Uh sure Professor just let me get my gear and I'll be there in a few minutes." I said accepting his offer.
"Excellent I'll be waiting in the classroom do not disappoint this is for a grade!" Professor Port said running in the direction of his classroom.
Guess I better get going.
In 15 minutes tops I was sitting in a chair by Professor Port's desk awaiting the rest of the class.
"I hope your ready young man because your opponent sure is." Port said pointing his thumb towards a large cage on the opposite side of me.
"Now your objective is to eliminate your enemy as fast as possible, shorter the time the better the grade."
"Ok professor I'll do my best besides I do need a better grade." I said rubbing the back of my head."
"Indeed you do Mr. Storm-shield. Ah your audience has arrived." Professor Port said standing from his desk.
My classmates including team RWBY and JNPR took their seats
"What's going on?" Jaune whispered to Pyrrha who answered the question with a shrug.
"Students today I have a task for you I have asked Mr. Storm-shield to take on a monster of Grimm in the fastest time possible. You will be doing the same with your own choice of monster over your upcoming break. Now if you would be so kind. Mr. Stormshield, take a stance." Port explained to the class
I did as he said and walked over to the opposite wall and put Soul Reaver in its saber form. Port took his blunderbuss and cut the lock off the cage. A rather large boarbatusk exited the cage and began its assault. Without hesitation the boarbatusk charged straight at me.
"If it's just going to charge I can take it down no sweat." I thought to myself.
I dodged the attack and ran to the other side of the room, just got to time it right. I prepared my semblance for an attack. As my dark purple aura surrounded me I could hear the whispers of my classmates. The boarbatusk rolled itself into a ball and began to charge at an incredible speed.
"Walked right into my trap..." I thought to myself.
Once the boarbatusk was within a few meters of where I was standing I called upon my semblance and within seconds it came out of the ground from my shadow and delivered a devastating uppercut to the creature sending it flying into the air.
"Now"
I leaped into the air and pierced the boarbatusk's belly with Soul Reaver driving it into the ground.
I received a standing ovation from my peers as well as Professor Port.
"10.4 seconds the beast has been vanquished. Bravo Mr. Storm-shield Bravo" he said patting me on the back. "Now take your seat so that way we can move on to the lecture."
"Good job Trey!" Yang said as I took my seat behind her.
"Eh I could have done better." I said jotting down notes.
During lunch time Velvet and I sat across from each other with our friends. Cardin tried to pick on her before I got there, but a few arm pains later he just took off to the other side of the cafeteria.
"So Velvet, are you going to be free later?" I asked the rabbit.
"I should be, why do you ask?" She said
"Well it's because tomorrow I have to stay at Schnee Manor for an assignment Professor Ozpin gave me and before I left I'd like to spend some time with you after class."
"What do you have in mind?" Velvet said giving me a small smile.
"I was thinking maybe we could have a picnic at BEACON Cliff to see the sunset over the forest." I explained.
"That sounds great I'll meet you there." She said accepting my offer.
"It's a date then." I said taking a sip from my drink.
Yang and Ruby reenacted the scene with each other just to annoy me a little while the rest of the table gave off a small laugh.
"Don't mind them." I said to Velvet her face being strawberry red. "I'm going to go grab my gear for Ms. Goodwitch's class. I'll see you there."
2 hours before sunset*
Dang I was on a roll until Nora came in. That hammer is going to take some getting used to. Maybe if I strike when she's switching I can put some damage in. I walked into my dorm room taking the boxing tape off my hands.
"Ready for your date with Velvet?" asked Anna hanging upside down from her bunk.
"Just going to change and pick up some things from town." I said.
"No need already prepared something for you to take." The fox said dropping down from the bed and handing me a basket.
"Where did you find time to do this?" I asked.
"I snuck out of Ms. Goodwitch's class during your fight with Nora." Anna said with guilt in her voice.
"Look I appreciate you doing this for me, but you guys can't be sneaking off and ditching class. We got accepted into BEACON because were the best of the best so why not act like it."
"Okay, Okay, you got a point. We won't ditch class anymore right guys?" Anna said turning to Roland and Phoebe.
"Yes ma'am." Phoebe said giving a salute to Anna.
"Yeah alright we won't...Phoebe are you wagging?" Roland said from his bed.
"Eep" Phoebe said holding the back of her skirt. "Wagging? What are you talking about?
Anna snuck over to Phoebe who was currently turned to Roland and pulled a doe tail from under her hands.
"Anna!" Phoebe shouted.
"Phoebe you're a faunus?" I asked in confusion.
"I didn't want anyone to know. All they do is laugh at it and I didn't want it to be a problem." Phoebe said tearing up.
"Phoebe you shouldn't have to hide who you are. I'm not scared to show off my ears so why should you be scared to show your tail?" I said trying to cheer her up.
"I just don't want to be treated differently." She said.
"You won't be and if someone does pick on you over it you let one of us know and we'll handle it personally. We're your friends Phoebe we look out for each other." I said holding her shoulder.
"Thank you Trey." She said before putting me in the tightest hug I've ever been in.
"Look it's not even that bad in fact it's kind of cute!" Anna said jokingly.
"Oh shut up." Phoebe said punching Anna in the arm starting a fight.
"You go do whatever is you need to do I'm going to try to separate 'this' without needing to go to the infirmary." Roland said pointing to the girls fighting on the ground.
"Alright." I said to him.
I looked around for a decent outfit in my closet. I ended up wearing a dark red flannel and jeans.
"Trey, don't forget the basket it's on the bench." Anna said still fighting Phoebe.
"Oh right thanks." I said grabbing it."
"Good luck!" Phoebe said pinning Anna to the ground.
I still have time so I think I'll pick up some flowers. I asked the girls from team RWBY and they insisted I choose roses. If I hurry I can make to the cliff with time to set up.
45 minutes to sunset*
I'm pretty nervous. To be honest I didn't think she'd feel the same way. I'm sure this will go well. I saw Velvet in the distance. She was wearing that purple dress she wore when we went to the carnival together.
"Hi Trey." Velvet said waving her hand.
"Hey Velvet...you look great." I said trying not to blow it.
"You don't look bad yourself." She said rubbing her arm.
"C'mon I found a good spot in a clearing not too far from here. It's got a great view of the Emerald Forest."
"Ok lead the way." She said in a soft voice.
We sat down and enjoyed our time together. Laughing about things we would do during our summers while we were still at signal.
"Remember when you tried to reach for the spot you missed painting the wall?" she said with a laugh.
"Yeah I went too far, fell, and got paint all over me." I said reminiscing. "Not sure what kind of paint that was, but it sure was hard to scrub off.
"I'm glad we came out today. The sunset looks absolutely beautiful from here." She said to me.
We turned to each other and gazed into each other's eyes before locking in a heartwarming kiss. Not long into the gesture it began to rain.
"Well that was fun while it lasted." Velvet said looking up at the sky.
"Yeah here put this on let's get back to campus." I said handing her my jacket so she can cover her head.
"Vale still looks nice when it rains though." I said helping Velvet on to the airship.
She stared out of the ships window mesmerized by the sight.
"Hey Trey do you have a ride tomorrow?" Velvet said now facing me.
"Not really I was planning on walking it why? I asked.
"Well if you want I can give you a ride so you won't have to walk all the way across town."
She did have a point.
"Sure Velvet I'd like that." I said giving her a smile.
"What time more or less do you have to be there?" She said in a happier tone.
"Well I'd like to get there a bit early...how does 8AM sound." I told the rabbit.
"Sounds good I'm usually awake around that time. How about you meet me at my house and well take it from there?" she said as the airship landed.
"Alright." I said as we walked towards the dormitory.
A few moments later we arrived at Velvet's dorm.
"Well I guess I'll see you in the morn..!" I said before Velvet interrupted my sentence with a kiss.
"Yes you will." she said before entering her room.
I could get used to this.
"There you are!"
Boom cliffhanger! I've been waiting to do one of these. Phoebe's a faunus and Trey is ready for his it go well? eh you'll find out in the next chapter
