A/N: So I know I haven't been putting up lately but it is finals week for this semester and hopefully I may be able to write more. Anyway I am looking for reviews; even though only two chapters are up it will help to get feedback in any: what you like/dislike, Q&A, opinions etc. So yeah, semester is almost over so I can write more and provide feedback via reviews or IM. Who knows, I may be taking reader requests or inserts later on.
I am going to attempt to change the POV thing here so let me know how you feel about it.
Orientation
"Hey Peter wait up," Tabu said. After his comedic landing off of Beacon's tower, Tabu has been receiving questionable expressions from other students-to-be. So far only Peter seemed to think that display of falling was entertaining so he followed Peter. "Did you know there is an orientation of some kind for newcomers? The headmaster himself is supposed to give a speech and the rundown of 'how we are the future of Remnant and its defenders of all things living'. What a waste of time," Peter said irritated. "You seem a little hostile all of a sudden. You alright there man?" Tabu cautiously asked. "I'm fine it's just… I do not believe that we Humans and Faunus are born to be defenders of Remnant as if it was our destiny. If that's the case, why are some Humans and Faunus average without the abilities of us? We have far more potential than what the higher ups spoon feed the masses." Peter explained. "Woah, that was weird. Where did that come from?" Tabu asked confused. How did the random guy laughing at someone face planting and leaving a crater in the pavement go to this? "Don't worry about. I trust my words will make more sense in time. Let's go, there is a person I want you to meet." Peter stated leading Tabu around the docks. At this time, there was a fiery explosion near the back of the docks. "What the hell was that?!" "There she is!" Tabu and Peter yelled respectively and at the same time. "Watch were you're going you dolt!" a girl in white shouted at Ruby. "Don't you know the dangers of Dust if it is not handled properly!" the girl yelled again. "Hey, what are you doing?!" Tabu yelled at the all-white girl. "Why are you getting involved? This doesn't concern you." Peter stated. "This is between me and this child here! She is lucky that she didn't cause more damage than a burn mark on the ground!" the girl cried. "Well, you are also at fault because you brought unsecured Dust containers. If you took better care of your luggage than maybe there wouldn't have been an incident, hmm?" Tabu countered. Idiot shut up. Arguing with a Schnee about Dust is pointless. It's like arguing with a woman, you won't get anywhere. Peter thought. BONK! "Did you just?" Peter and Weiss asked together. "Yes, I just smacked you on the head." Tabu said proudly. "Now little Red, you are very lucky that no one got hurt. Here, let me see your wounds. Jeez you're hopeless." Tabu comforted Ruby. After saying that, Tabu took out a handkerchief and wiped off the dust marks and soot. "What are you doing? You seriously jumped boundary lines there man." Peter stated irritably. "Come on Red, let's leave these two and find the Grand Hall." Tabu said leading Ruby away. "As adorable as I think that was, if he is going to be like that all the time then that could be a problem if we are on mission. Anyway, do you require assistance Miss Schnee?" Peter calmly asked. "Well at least someone knows who I am," The girl stated. "Yeah you are Weiss Schnee, Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. I know about you family's company and their works, all of their works. Unlike most of the people here, I understand your position in social class but I also know I wouldn't have access to my gear if it wasn't for the SDC," Peter stated. "Well I am glad that you can understand the importance of the Schnee Dust Company," Weiss stated proudly. After the heated moment earlier, Peter helped the Heiress with her bags to the Main Hall. "I've been meaning to ask, why do you have this many cases? I know that we might be here for a while but this does seem to be a lot," Peter questioned. "You know my family name there for you should know I am not from Vale. It isn't that difficult if you think about it." Weiss responded with an irritated tone. "I'm from Atlas as well but I move around a lot. My mother has a great amount of Authority but people know so little about her," Peter said sadly. "Regardless, let's get to the Grand Hall alright?" Peter said to Weiss.
After Peter said that, he and Weiss made it to the Grand Hall and the Orientation with the rest of the students. After they arrived, the met up with Rei who was talking to a girl dressed in black and white with a bow on her head. "Where in the name of Remnant did you go Rei? I haven't seen you since we landed." Peter said. "Hey Pete. Why are you carrying all those bags? I thought you had your military like duffel bag." Rei stated after she saw him carrying multiple bags and suitcases. "I am helping a young woman with her luggage, actually. It is something Mom taught me and I took it to heart." Peter said as he put Weiss's bags near her. "Anyway this is Blake. She is really quite and reads A LOT, just like me!" Rei nearly shouted.
After Rei's outburst Professors Ozpin and Goodwitch walked on the stage. "All now, quiet down now people," Glynda Goodwitch said in her powerful tone. "Pay attention everyone. I am Professor Glynda Goodwitch and welcome to Beacon Academy," Goodwitch said as Ozpin made his way to center front stage. "I look into the crowed and I see wasted potential." Ozpin began his speech. "You all have trained to be Hunters and Huntresses but training is half of the effort. It is now up to YOU to becoming what you wish. Tomorrow we will begin Initiation for all first year students. Now some of you had heard rumors about teams and partners, we will clear that out tomorrow. Sleep well tonight and be prepared for tomorrow," Ozpin finished his speech. Wasted potential huh?! Peter thought. If you knew my past AND my official record Ozpin, you would most likely contact General Ironwood and take me into custody. I might be as bad as the Grimm themselves. Peter thought as he remember his previous missions and assignments. He looked at Weiss and the rest of the students, a small grin on his face. Well, it's a good thing that I only target the likes of the White Fang, their informants and any corrupt Humans or Faunus as per the Laws of Creation. "Hey Peter, bring my bags over here would you?" Weiss said. "Big Brother, did find a new girl to replace HER hmm~?" Rei teased. Peter responded by smiling and petted her head, making sure he scratched her ears a little. "I don't anyone can replace her Rei. Let's go." Peter said and Rei gave a little grin.
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. From Dust we are made and to Dust we shall return. Amen.
A/N: So I know it was long update but I was placed on Academic Probation and that takes priority and now I'm clear. I apologize if any grammatical errors but I don't have a beta-reader and I am bound to miss something. Spring Semester is starting up so updates may take a while once again. Other than that, you guys have gotten a little teaser of a character's backstory. Next Chapter we are going into the Emerald Forest for Initiation and we get to see combat and finally meet the last character. Review and provide feedback, thoughts, concerns and/or constructive criticism it helps me as a writer and lets me know I have readers or improvement spots. Take care, signing off.
