Ricky entered Ozpin's office to find him sitting behind his desk. He moved in front of him and saw three pieces of paper each had a student's name and seemed to be apologizing for something. That was all Ricky could see until Ozpin began.

"It seems that three of the first year students were not ready for this level of combat." He took the three papers and put them in his desk.

"Are they..."

Ozpin nodded.

They both stayed in silence to think about the lives taken by the Grimm.

Ozpin then moved his head up "I will put you as a fifth member of one of the current teams, the name won't change but you will be a full member."

"Witch team?"

Ozpin handed Ricky a scroll that had a Headmaster's Note on it. The note read 'Richard Kenway is to become a fith member of team RWBY. He will be part of the team for the four years at Beacon academy and will graduate as part of team RWBY. He will take part in team training, practice, and study. A separate guest room will be his living quarters for the time he is at Beacon. -Headmaster Proffesor Ozpin'

"Your scroll will unlock your room as well as the room the rest of your team sleeps in." Ozpin said, "you should be able to find your room via your scroll."

"Alright then" and Ricky left Ozpin's office.

Ricky was looking at his schedule for his classes on his way to his room when he saw Ruby and the others enter a room of their own followed by team JNPR. Ricky was about to walk over until he saw the time on his scroll. '8:46, their probably tried after today I'll just send a message' and walked to his room. He unlocked the door with his scroll and walked in a small room with one bed and a desk. He saw a bag on his bed there was an assassin's symbol on it and walked over and saw a note on it he recognized the writing style, he read 'Richard, when everyone in the homestead herd you were attending school they wanted to send you this, unfortunetly there is no postal service so I came to drop this off. I couldn't stay long so I left this note, remember to keep us a secret. -Ratonhnhaké:ton, Conner Kenway.' Ricky looked in the bag to see a set of assasin's robes much like the ones Conner wore. They were smaller but they were very similar, there was also a blade sharpening kit that Rick set on his desk. He also found a hoodie like his that could reverse to be black but with pockets and the white side had a wolf print with the two sides of the assassin's symbol on each side, they were too far to be recognized as the symbol. He folded the robes and put them back in the bag. He stored the bag in the small closet in his room and hung the hoodie with the provided hangers. He took the hoodie he wore off and changed into his sleeping wear and went to sleep on his bed.


The next morning Ricky woke up to loud footsteps outside his room. When he looked out he saw Ren turning the corner of the hall outside his room. He looked at his scroll '8:55' he then went to his schedule to see what time he had class. 'The Known Histories, 10:30 am; Grimm anatomy 1:45pm; Team RWBY Practice 4:00pm Practice Room 5C' he then went back in his room and changed into his usual atire, but he put on his new hoodie with the black wolf print. He walked out and made his way out of the dorm building. He went to the recreational center were some of the third and fourth year students were. They didn't have 9:00 classes so they relaxed in this area. Rick found a suitable tree, climbed up, slouched against it, and began meditating and waited.

He slowly brought his mind out of meditation and checked his scroll '10:15am' he jumped down and began to walk to the main buildings of Beacon. He made it to his first class at 10:26 and took a seat at the top of the leveled desks. He watch as different students walked in he even saw Ruby and Yang walk in with Pyrrha and Jaune. His hood was still on and he sat in class listening to the lecture the Proffesor gave, he was very quick with his lessons. He then called out Ricky for wearring his hood. 'Mr. Kenway take off that hood!" Ricky obliged and took off his hood revealing his blue eyes and short black hair, being on the top level no one could see the grey spots in his hair. "Now tell me one of the major losses Washington faced!" Ricky knew exactly who Washington was, he remembered Conner tell him about the war for a third kingdom one that was free from the king of the British kingdom, now known as Vacuo. "Washington face a sever loss at the battle of the New York district when his rebel troops were driven out by the British Redcoats." Ricky knew a lot about history, he learned from Conner who had one of the local teachers tutor him on the subject and even teach him more than the other students because those who cannot learn from history are destined to repeat it. "That is correct" the Proffesor took a sip of his coffee and the bell rang. Ricky put his hood back on and walked out of class first.

Lunch came next and he stayed away from other students as he ate alone. No one dared approach him as he was using his semblance to keep around him quiet.

He made his way to his next class witch was as boring for him since he knew lots about the Grimm and their weak spots, the Proffesor's sense of humor didn't help either. The most excited he got was when Weiss messed up during a fight with a Boarbatusk. But all that got out of him was a head raise as the fight ended and Weiss was victorious. The bell once again rang and he made his way back to the recreational center and once again climbed up a tree and meditated. He slowly brought himself out as he faintly herd someone call his name. He herd Ruby keep calling and she finally was standing under the tree he was in.

"Ricky we got team practice and as team leader yo-"

"You don't have to put the 'team leader' act on, it's what gets to your head, just act normal and you'll be fine with your team" he said jumping out of the tree and landing next to Ruby he was only three inches taller than her.

"Okay but we still have to train as a team" she said.

"Fifth building training room C, let's go" he said walking towards the training buildings. When they got in the locker rooms the others seemed surprise that he came to training. Ricky didn't look at them he kept his hood on and took out his weapons from his locker and headed in the training room. Ruby started with Beowolves as the four girls took them out using their weapon Ricky simply stood slouched against the wall of the room and watched the simulation unfold. He only intervened if someone would have gotten seriously injured if it was real, he did so by shooting pure light arrows and then slouched back against the wall. After the simulation ended there was still a hour of training time for them so Ruby said they should just spar until time was up. Ricky once again stood slouched against the wall watching examining the fighting style they all used. After some time the four girls gathered in the center and started whispering. Ricky activated his Eagle vision and saw as one by one they slightly turned a light red meaning they wanted to fight him, but not kill him.

Yang was first as she charged Ricky with her right arm. He moved his head to the right without moving out of his spot, the wall behind him cracked from Yang's punch. Her left fist tried to punch his gut but Ricky grabbed it and starred into Yang's eyes, his own flashed and Yang let out a soft "uh-oh." Ricky then kicked Yang back, she landed with her face down and stayed down. Weiss was next as she charged with her Myrtenaster Ricky moved away from the wall to dodge. Weiss began to stab in his direction, Ricky took out his pistol holstered on his left and transformed it into a tomahawk and redirected her strikes until Myrtenaster got got suck under the tomahawk. Ricky took the opportunity to look into Weiss's eyes. She began to tremble and got sloppy with her next attacks. Ricky once again redirected Myrtenaster and kicked Weiss's foot causing her to fall on her back. Ricky pointed his tomahawk at her on the ground signaling her defeat. Then Blake threw her Gambol Shroud causing Ricky to move his tomahawk to deflect it. Then Blake duel wielded with her sheath and Ricky transformed his bow to a sword. She attacked by spinning her body keeping her eyes from making contact with Ricky's. One of her strong downward strikes caused Ricky to slide back in his defensive position. She threw her Gambol Shroud once more but Ricky caught it with his tomahawk and pull hard bringing Blake to the ground she looked up directly into Ricky's eyes and stayed down. Ruby came in and kicked Ricky causing him to roll back and his hood to come off, but he instantly straightened himself. Ruby kept on the offensive she, stroke down with her Crescent Rose bent back Ricky used his sword and tomahawk to block, he starred into Ruby's eyes but she was unaffected as she just continued to stare back gritting her teeth. Ruby fired Crescent Rose pushing her away from the stale-mate. She began attacking Ricky from all direction. Ricky kept up with each attack blocking with his sword or tomahawk or sometime both. Ruby sped past him with her Crescent Rose behind Ricky once again used both his weapons to block. Ruby then began firing pushing Ricky closer to her until they were back-to-back. Ruby then brought Crescent Rose around her left to her right to strike, Ricky held up both his weapons to block again he locked his tomahawk on Crescent Rose so when Ruby fired it stopped and Ricky pulled it away disarming Ruby she moved quick to try and pick it up but was stopped when Ricky ran towards it and slid sweeping her off her feet and she rolled, stopped, and faced the ceiling. She leaned up and Ricky had his sword pointed at her. The two stared until Ricky transformed his sword back into his bow and slung it on his back then held out his hand. Ruby grabbed it and he pulled her up. No words where exchanged as Ricky walked out of the room and Ruby's scroll received a notification and spoke "training time over".
