Chapter 3
Rune eyes opened as he let out a yawn. He looks around and saw that many of the students were still asleep. He looks outside and saw that sun was about to rise. Seeing that he still have plenty of time. He decided to go outside to do some training exercise. He immediately went to his locker and grabbed Crescent Rose and his training clothes which was consists of a plain white shirt, black jogging pants and a running shoes before he change and went outside.
He did his workout that was consists of 50 push up, 50 sit up, 50 squats, 20km run, Scythe swinging and different kinds of leg strengthening exercise such as the Dupla drill, Maximum Speed Cartwheels, Sideways Flips and many more that. He learn this kinds of exercises through a book called about Capoeira martial arts. Rune has learn at least three kinds of martial arts. Never master them but it would been very useful to him in the future. He learn capoeira for leg powers and kicks, Aikido for pressure points, joints locking and boxing for speed and fist fight. He never master any of the three but has good background on each of it.
He finished his exercise within 1 hour before he decided to end the workout. He taken his shower before he changed to his clothes and heading to the mess hall to grab some breakfast. He put his hood up to make sure to be safe than sorry if ever he ran to young. He hoped that he won't into-
BAM!
Rune bump into someone causing him to fall to the ground and moving his hood open.
"Dammit" Rune cursed under his breath as he was now facing the ceiling.
"Rune…is that you?" A voice said. Rune looks to where that voice came from and his eyes widen in shock on who he saw.
It was Yang, his older half-sister standing before him. She had shock look on her face.
"Shit" Rune quickly stands up and run away, snapping Yang from her shock and she quickly chased after Rune.
"RUNE WAIT!" Yang shouted but Rune ignored it and continues to run from Yang who was a few feet away from him. He quickly gathered some of his aura and used it to enhance his speed. Giving him superhuman speed that he disappeared from Yang sight.
Yang slow down as she saw that Rune disappeared before her in a blink of an eye. She couldn't help but let out a small tear down her face as she saw her little brother again. But what was he doing here in Beacon Academy.
'Is Rune studying here in Beacon? How? When?' So many questions were running from her mind but one thing was clear. She finally found Rune and she will make sure that she will never lose him again.
'Shit! I just ran into Yang! Shit! Shit!" Rune cursed under his breath. He never thought that he would ran to Yang this early. He thought it would be either during the initiation or when school starts. Rune is now planning what to do now. Because he knew that Yang have seen him.
Rune let frustrated sigh before he just decided to skip breakfast and wait for the announcement to where the Initiation will take place. He was now making sure that will be able to avoid Yang because right now he really doesn't want to talk to her. He would probably just snapped her bones in half.
==Time skip==
Rune was in one of the halls in Beacon and was now waiting for announcement for the initiation and was meditating for his Aura to increase and have more control.
Rune learn that meditation is one the best exercise in increasing on Aura reserve and the same time learning and understanding about it to have better control. Rune continues to meditate his aura when suddenly he heard something.
"All first year students are required to meet at Beacon Cliff." A woman's voice asked over the speaker. "Repeat. All first year students are required to meet at Beacon Cliff." Rune stops his meditation and decided to go the Cliffside of beacon. Rune gripped on Crescent Rose tightly with determine look on his face. He knew that he was ready for this. He was ready to become a hunter.
Rune started to curse his luck right now. Why? Well everyone has gathered at the Cliffside of Beacon Academy where it will was overlooked by the forest. Rune was standing on one of the platforms and he saw Yang who was only a few feet away from him. Yang tried to approach him Rune just gave her the cold shoulders and kept quiet. He looks at the students besides and saw that Yang was looking at him with small frown on her face.
Rune quickly turns away and face towards Ozpin and Glynda, who were standing in front of him and the students.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors," Ozpin said. "Today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumor of the assignment of teams." Goodwitch's comment "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates...Today."
'Well shit' Rune said. He never knew about the team part. He looks to Yang and saw she small smile on her face when she heard the team part. Now Rune was hoping that he would not be paired up with Yang.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon," Ozpin said. "So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well."
'Well…I can work with anyone as long as they keep their nose out from my business." Rune thought and prayed that he won't pair up with Yang or anyone who has giant foot pole in their ass.
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin said.
Yang smile turn into a thin smile as she heard this. This means that she will paired with someone who she has made eye contact first. So it's a very little chance that she can partner up with Rune.
While Yang was upset at this. Rune has small smirk in his face. This was a small victory for him…I think. Because there so no way that Yang would make eye contact with him first but now all he will have to do is to make sure that doesn't pair up with someone that he would hate.
"You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die." Ozpin said with a serious tone at the end. Rune had a dark smile on his face in hearing this. This was a perfect chance for him to accidental kill Yang if he ever have a chance.
"And Mr. Rose" Ozpin called snapping Rune out from his thoughts and change back to his neutral look. "When I say that destroy everything in your path. It does not include killing people. We will be watching you all through the cameras that is hidden in the forest. When you disobey my order, I will be very…upset" Ozpin ended as he unleashed his small Aura that made many of the students flinch.
'… Fuck you Ozpin!' Rune cursed in his mind. So much for getting his revenge against his sister. He was temp in breaking that rule but it would destroy his dream in becoming a hunter. Rune just gave him a small nod in understanding while mentally gave him a sign said. 'Fuck you'.
Ozpin continued in giving his instruction. "You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene but try to break my rule in killing people then I will show you why I'm the headmaster of Beacon." The students nodded at him and made mental note at it. "Find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, then return to the top of the cliff," Ozpin continued. "You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and we grade you appropriately. Now...Are there any questions?"
"Yeah, um, sir?" the faint voice said. Rune turn to his left and saw it was a blond guy with blue eyes and he has nervous look on his face. Rune just raised a brow at him before he shook his head and focused on his initiation.
"Good! Then take your positions," Ozpin said as he ignored the blond student.
He gripped on his Crescent Rose tightly as one by one students were being send flying. Soon Rune was send flying towards Emerald Forest.
Rune quickly pulls out his Crescent Rose and started to shoot to decrease his speed before he turns it into Scythe mode and hit one of the trees and twirl around before he landed safely to the ground. Rune quickly started running to through the forest as he hack and slash every single grimm that he encountered. His first objective was to find a partner before heading towards the temple. After running around for a few seconds. His eyes landed on a figure. His eyes widen in surprised on who he saw.
It was the girl in white that shouted at him yesterday.
The girl turns around and their eyes contact with each other. Rune looks at her with wide eyes and one thing came to his mind.
'Well shit. She is my partner now.' Rune thought. He cursed his rotten luck but he was still thankful that it wasn't Yang.
The stare each other for a few seconds before Rune decided to let out a sigh. "Well, looks like I'm partnered with you. I really hate my life now."
"What do mean by that?" The girl asked and Rune just rolled his eyes in response.
"Well it's because I'm partnered up with a snot-noise stuck up princess. That's what." Rune said rudely. The girl glared at him for those words.
"How dare you! I'll-"
"Let's just get this over with and grabbed the relic." Rune cuts her off before heading to the opposite direction. The girl face turn red in anger and started following Rune.
"Hey! I'm talk-"The girl was cut off when suddenly he and Rune saw a pack of beowolves. Rune let out a sigh and pulls out his Crescent Rose once again. The girl pulls out her weapon also and stands beside Rune. Looks at her weapon and it was a silver rapier but The hilt possesses four prongs that encase the revolver-like chamber around the ricasso instead of a bow type hand-guard that is common among most rapiers, in a manner somewhat alike to a swept hilt.
"Well looks like we going to keep ourselves busy. Got a name?" Rune asked the girl. The girl turns to as before she gave him a glare.
"Weiss, Weiss Schnee, an heiress to the Schnee Dust Company" The girl that is known now as Weiss. Rune raised a brow at her.
"Heiress huh? Well that explains the Schnee symbol. Just call me Rune, Rune Rose." Rune said before turning back his attention to the pack of beowolves.
One of them let out roar and charges towards Rune. Rune quickly channel some Aura to his feet and disappeared from sight and reappeared behind the beowolf. The beowolf suddenly was cut in half. Rune turns to the pack and saw a big one step up before him. Rune presume that the big one is the alpha since it was twice his size.
The Alpha Beowolf let out a roar before all the pack started charging towards Rune. Weiss went to her stance and was about to charge at said leader but she suddenly stop in her tracks when she was shock what he saw.
Rune body was covered with Red aura and giant skeleton with robes appeared behind him, causing the beowolves to stop from their charge and step back in fear as they saw the giant avatar before them.
Rune eyes narrowed at them before he moved his right hand and the skeleton did the same before he swung his right arm towards the Beowolves. The Alpha beowolf was manage to move in time to avoid the attack but the others did as they were struck by the giant arm sending flying either to several trees or the Rock Walls.
The Alpha beowolf that he was outclass by Rune so he did a wise thing and started to run away.
BANG!
The Alpha beowolf head was shot causing it to blow up and the body fall to the ground. Rune Crescent Rose was in sniper mode while his Aura was still activated. Rune check the surrounding and saw there was no more beowolves. He turns of the aura and let out a sigh before folding back his weapon.
"What was that? Was that your semblance?" Rune turn around and saw that Weiss approaching with surprised look on her face.
"No, that was only my Aura alone." Rune said. Weiss completely shock at this.
"That's impossible! Aura is only used for Attack, defense and healing. How can you created that giant skeleton?!" Weiss said. It was impossible to create things from Aura unless it was a semblance.
"It's because I have deeper understanding of Aura. Unlike most hunters who think that it was only attack, defense and healing. Aura can be many things since Aura is a mystery itself, creating different theories about it. I just found a way to use Aura in my own perspective. Now shut up and let me concentrate." Rune said and Weiss turn red for his last remark and was about to retort but she stop. After seeing how powerful Rune is. It was wise for her to get to her partner good side. She just decided to listen to Rune.
Rune was body was covered in Aura again as he kneels down and place a hand on the ground. He started to concentrate as he started to feel everything in his surroundings. Weiss just continues to observe Rune was she was curious in what he was doing.
After a minute has passed. Rune aura finally disappeared and soon was panting on the ground with as small bead of sweat started to pour on him.
"Man, that's last time doing that again." Rune said as he let a groan as he felt a little dizzy from what he just did.
"What did you do?" Weiss asked, curious on what Rune just did.
"Let take a break for few seconds. I need to catch my breath" Rune said. Weiss just raised brow at him and decided to comply in his demand. After a few seconds Rune manage to stand up properly.
"Now, are you going to tell what just happened? Why do you look all tired suddenly?" Weiss asked.
"I used my Aura to try locate the temple. And I was able to find it. But it really took a lot of Aura just to find it." Rune said and Weiss was completely surprised at this.
"How?" Weiss asked. How in the world was that possible?
"The temple is north from this way. But it gonna take as at least 10 minutes to reach there. Come on" Rune said as he ignored Weiss question before walking ahead. Weiss was completely shock at this and was pissed off since Rune just basically ignored her question.
"Hey! You didn't answer my question!" Weiss shouted at him as she follow Rune. Rune stops and turn to her.
"What is it now?" Rune asked with annoyed look on his face. He saw that Weiss was glaring at him.
"I ask on how you were able to find the temple and how sure you are?" Weiss asked angrily at him. Rune just let out a sigh and rubbed his temple. He knew that having her as a partner will be a major pain.
"Okay, I'll tell you while we go towards the temple is that okay?" Rune asked. Weiss just let out a huff but nodded at him. Before they continued towards their destination. They never notice that one the trees that Rune destroyed during his fight with the Pack has black feathers falling down.
"Okay, Weiss, tell what you know about Aura." Rune asked and Weiss look at him with skeptical look on her face.
"Aura is the manifestation of one's soul. Aura is an ability that all those with a soul can use, at least with enough practice. A person with a strong Aura may radiate bright colors when using it. Because Aura is the manifestation of the soul, it can appear very differently depending on who is using it. It said in the books that anything that has a soul has an aura but Humans and Faunus seem to be the only beings able to manipulate Aura." Weiss finished. She remembers those words through the textbooks that she read.
"Okay, that mostly the general idea of Aura but those who had deeper understanding of Aura learns that Aura is not just souls but Remnant itself has an aura." Rune said and Weiss was getting confuse at what he was getting at.
"What do you mean by that? You're not making sense." Weiss said. Rune just rolled his eyes.
"I knew that this was going to be a pain in the ass in explaining it." Rune said quietly before he started speaking again.
"Tell me Weiss, do you believe in the supernatural beings such as spirits, entities or something like that?" Rune asked and Weiss thought for a minute before she answered.
"Not much"
"Figures, since majority never want to fully understand what aura is." Rune muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me?" Weiss said, not hearing what Rune just said.
"Nothing. Anyway, as I was saying, the world is full of mysteries, so legends can be real. Maybe some deities really exist and maybe some not but one thing is that the Remnant itself has a god or deity." Rune said.
"You mean like Monty Oum, the creator of Remnant?" Weiss said and Rune nodded at him.
"Yeah, many of the people never seen this because they never gone through the length to learn about the supernatural world. Only focused more about dust" Rune said.
"But wait. That doesn't explain on how you were able to learn where the temple location." Weiss said.
"I was getting to that. Anyway, as I learn more about the Aura I was began to interact with the spirit of Remnant itself. I never see a clear vision of him but he was the one send images to my head for me to locate where I wanted to go. But the drawback is that this would cause huge amount of Aura and some headache along the way." Rune said as he rubbed the back of his head. Yeah, using that technique really drains him so doesn't use that often beside he really doesn't use that much unless he really need to.
Weiss was completely shock at this. Her partner just told her that he just met some entity or deity but what more shocking is some myths that are being told are real. Man that's really hard pill to swallow.
"…I don't believed you." Weiss said as she narrowed her eyes at him. There is no way that this guy was telling the truth.
"Believe what you want. I don't really give a shit about it. But that's my belief and that's that." Rune said. He was not surprised if she didn't believe him after he already met many people who thinks that he was crazy.
"Then show me your evidence. Where's your proof?!" Weiss demand. She wasn't going to believe any of his words unless he shown proof.
"I already told you…wait you hear something?" Rune asked as he stop his sentence when he saw a sound.
"Hear what?" Weiss asked. Rune pointed up and Weiss look up as well and her eyes widen in shock.
"Wow, that's one giant nevermore." Rune commented as he and Weiss watch the giant nevermore and an idea came to his head. He pulls out his Crescent Rose and put it in gun mode and soon started to shoot the giant nevermore.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Weiss shouted as her eyes widen in horror as she saw Rune shoot the giant nevermore, getting the bird attention.
"I have an idea, hang on tight" Rune said as he grabbed Weiss from the waist and pulls her closer. Weiss blush from Rune action.
"W-W-What are you doing? Unhand me!" Weiss demanded and soon the giant Nevermore came down towards them. Rune dodge the giant Nevermore and quickly change Crescent mode into Scythe mode and used it as hook to hang on the giant Nevermore. And soon the duo was now in the air and was hanging on the giant Nevermore.
"IS THIS YOUR BRILLIANT?! GETTING KILLED BY A GIANT NEVERMORE!" Weiss shouted in anger and fright at Rune as she was holding on Rune tightly.
"THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY!" Rune shouted back at her as he gripped on Crescent Rose tightly.
"YOU'RE INSANE!"
"BEEN CALLED THAT BEFORE ICE PRINCESS!"
