Chloe blinked as the hatch of the airship she had been travelling in slowly lowered allowing the sunlight to flood in, she quickly grabbed up her bag and headed down the ramp towards the courtyard. When she reached the courtyard she saw a huge number of other students 'great, socialising' she taught to her self as she began to wander through the crowd eventually emerging on the other side and dumping her bag in the luggage area decided to go for a walk. She headed out of the courtyard seeing a girl dressed in black sitting on a bench, she seemed to be looking over her book every now and then and glancing at a girl with long blond hair who was talking to a much younger girl in a red hood. as she continued to walk Chloe saw the unmistakable white of a Schnee this particularly over entitled individual was clearly Weiss, the heiress, Chloe shot her a disgusted glance before continuing on her walk around her new home.

"Hey, puppy you wanna scratch behind the ears" came a shout from some dick with a mace over his shoulder, he began to laugh loudly and the small group of idiots that had clearly gathered around him also began to laugh 'of cause, my second set of ears, wolf ears, always the ears' Chloe thought as she turned her back on the bunch of idiots.

"Fuck off" muttered Chloe as she quickly walked away, the insults fading as she rushed off. Why she hadn't faced up to he bully she didn't know but it was largely she expected due to the fact that her mum had worked so hard to get her in that she didn't want to get in to a fight on the first day, she quickly fished a dark blue beanie from her bag and putting it on to avoid any more unwanted attention.

Max and Kate walked on to the Beacon Academy campus, the two of them had passed there admition exams on the same day and where both extremely exited to finally be arriving.

"So you think we'll be on the same team?" asked Kate.

"I hope so, but if its based on who works well together its basically guarantied" replied Max.

"Yeah" said Kate as a little blush spread across her cheeks "they'd never use any crazy random system, it would never work".

Why is Kate embarrassed about being on the same team wondered Max, but her train of thought was suddenly cut off by an announcement on the tannoy cut in "all students assemble in the main hall".

"We better get to the hall" said max as they began to make there way towards the main building on campus.

Rachel stood in the main hall at beacon and listened to the standard welcoming speech that you got with every new school, stuff about improving and trying and how much you still have to learn before you leave. Finally the speech ended and they where sent off to the ballroom where they whould be sleeping for the night, then tomorrow they would begin there initiation.

The ballroom was full of students, some where walking around chatting and getting to know each other whilst others where calling home or reading. Chloe wandered through the hall looking for anything or anyone to keep her entertained for the next half an hour till she went to bed, she spotted a girl sitting over the other side of the hall who looked pretty cool so decided to at least attempt to make conversation with her. As she headed over she pulled off her beanie to revile the set of wolf ears that where perched atop her head, there fur dyed bright blue just like the rest of her hair.

"Hi" Chloe addressed the other girl "I'm Chloe, whats your name" 'oh, for fucks sake try to sound a little more normal' Chloe thought to herself.

"Oh, hi" said the other girl "I'm Rachel"

"Nice to meet you" said Chloe sitting down next to Rachel, 'ether she doesn't realise i sound like an idiot' thought Chloe 'or she's a damn good actress'.

"So, why are you here" asked Rachel.

"Oh, well i just kinda wanna help people and i decided to become a huntress" said Chloe 'yeah that sounds super convincing' she internally scalded herself.

"No, not like that why are you at beacon, thats an obvious Vacuo accent you've got" replied Rachel.

"Well, beacon is know as the best of the huntsman academys" sand Chloe "also you cant talk your clearly from Atlas".

"Hit the nail on the head" said Rachel "I'm from Atlas but i decided to come to beacon because this place has a better reputation, both as a school and as a kingdom. Like if this was atlas you wouldn't have been able to walk across this hall without having insults yelled at you left right and centre by other pupils but here you can talk to anyone go anywhere without worrying about peoples reaction to you"

"This place ain't all sunshine and rainbows you know" muttered Chloe as she glanced around at that Cardin Winchester dick head that had had a go at her earlier.

"Oh come on it could be much worse" said Rachel "trust me I've lived in atlas my whole life, there most shops ban faunus and there pretty much a segregated species"

Suddenly that professor Goodwitch from earlier came pacing in to the hall "Ok, get your heads down, all of you" she ordered "bed, now. you need to be sharp for for initiation tomorrow". everyone quickly rushed to sleeping bags and soon the lights had been turned out and everyone was trying to get to sleep, Chloe doubted any would with the excitement of what would be happening tomorrow.
