"That was your old team?" Harper asked as they exited the cafeteria. Team RWBY and JNPR had just had one of the most intense food fights probably ever.

"Amazing aren't they?" Ricky asked sarcastically.

"Amazing isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe them" Cyrus replied.

"Well anyway classes start tomorrow so remember to wake up early."

"Ugh I hate school" Iris said.

"Yeah, well you won't be here long, only until the Vytal festival is over" Ricky said.

"So class tomorrow, when do we find out what's going on with the white fang and Templars?" Cyrus asked quietly so only the three others could hear.

"We'll take this week to get settled, Friday we'll try to find something after class" Ricky answered. "Until then, try to find any leads you can without getting into a fight."

"That shouldn't be a problem" Cyrus said and they all walked back to their team dorm.

Living with a team was much different than living alone. Ricky was used to the quiet of his personal guest room, but it seemed everyone else had a different way to live. Harper was a slob, no surprise seeing as he was trained by a pirate. Iris usually kept all her stuff neat and separate from the others. Cyrus didn't have much, all he had was what he wore and some sleep wear he bought. Living with them was hardly a challenge, getting them to work together was the hard part.

Tuesday, second day of the second semester. Team RICH was in one of the training rooms practicing team maneuvers. This wasn't going so well every attempt to get two of them to attack in a formation one would do all the work tiring themself out for the next maneuver. Iris was getting the hang of relying on Ricky, but Harper and Cyrus were harder to work with. Cyrus was like Ricky when he first joined team RWBY, he stayed to the side and didn't intervene much with the training unless told to do so by Ricky, even then he wasn't the most participating of people.

Ricky set up a trio of Ursi to continue with the training.

"Alright let's try this again, Harper distract!" Ricky called as the simulation began. Harper grabbed his double barrel shogun from his back and shot multiple rounds at the three Ursi. Ricky and Iris made their way around and got behind them. Ricky saw the three move closer to Harper, who kept shooting despite the ineffectiveness of his shots. Ricky gave a hand motion to Iris and she took out two boomerangs from her back and they grew a little and the edges sharpened. She threw one towards one the Ursi and hit it in the head, when it turned around it stood to give a roar, but was met with three arrows in its stomach, they all exploded and the Ursa fell back with a hollow belly and disintegrated. Ricky looked over to Cyrus and gave him a hand motion. Cyrus moved from his spot and ran up the back of one of the two Ursi and stuck his blade in its neck. The blade wasn't long enough to make a killing blow so the Ursa began to swing around frantically as Cyrus struggled to hang on. Meanwhile Harper was still faced with another Ursa, he flicked his shotgun and a blade appeared all along between the twin barrels. He blocked a swing from the left and had to push with all his might. The Ursa was gona swing from his right to try and squish him, but Ricky moved in time to block with his sword, now in his right hand, and slashed upward with his tomahawk causing the Ursa to stumble back. Cyrus began to shoot his gun compartment of the hidden blade while it was still stuck in the Ursa's neck. It only angered it more as it furiously threw Cyrus off. He landed next to Iris and the two stood before the monster.

"Alright Cyrus see if you-"

Iris was cut off as Cyrus once again charged the Ursa. It swung at him but he jumped over and managed to dodge the attack. He got close enough to once again clim. On it's back and this time he switch his right blade to it's dagger form and blinded the Ursa's right eye. Ricky and Harper kept their attacks strong on the Ursa as they didn't give it any chance to strike back. Harper rolled over Ricky's back and swung his sword in a figure eight pattern and Ricky moved in front of him striking upward knocking the Ursa's head back and Harper moved with two hands on his shotgun-sword swung and in one clean swipe cut the Ursa's head off. Cyrus stayed on the Ursa until a boomerang flew past and the Ursa stopped and fell forward. Cyrus took his blade out as the Ursa disintegrated.

"Alright, I think that's good for today" Ricky said to the group. Cyrus walked out first and didn't talk to anyone as he exited the training room.

'Was I that bad?' Ricky asked himself as he remembered his first training sessions with team RWBY.

Later in the dorm Cyrus stayed silent and was on his scroll, Harper slept almost all the time, Iris was the only one Ricky saw do actual studying for classes. He sat in a chair in front of a desk as he looked at his team. He got up and was walking out the door when Cyrus asked "And where are you going?"

"Out, you know, were there's fresh air" Ricky replied.

Cyrus didn't look up from his scroll, but his facial expression changed as he herd the responds. Ricky walked out and closed the door behind him. It was still pretty early for sleep and he couldn't stay long in a room with other people. He went the recreational center and sat in the shade of a tree. He slouched against the bark and with his hood on he began to meditate. Before he could focus his mind, a figure appeared before him. It was non other than Ruby who moved to sit next to him and Ricky took off his hood as she did so.

"So how's your team?" She asked.

"There...okay."

"That doesn't sound like they're okay."

"They'll come around it's only the second day after all, but it seems I'm running into a similar problem you did when I was assigned to your team."

"So...who's the lone wolf?"

*Sigh* "Cyrus if I had to say, but they don't exactly work well together, individually they can handle themselves, but trying to work as a team is a challenge for them."

"Well maybe if you got to know them better it would help."

'Hmm' Ricky thought make it seem like a good idea to Ruby, but really they all knew what happened to each of them that caused them to join the assassin's.

"Well...at least try and maybe they won't seem so bad." With that Ruby stood up and walked back to her dorm. Ricky sat there and began his meditation. He got back to his dorm by sun down and everyone slept for the night.

At 2:00am Ricky woke up as usual, but he kept quite as he just opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. He looked around to see his team still sleeping. He got up and quietly got dresses. He went to the roof as usual and once again was with Ruby as she, again, scratched behind his ears to sooth him. It was quite the whole time and when they returned to their dorms Ricky was about to walk back after Ruby entered hers, but was met with Cyrus in the hallways.

"You know what happens if she finds out" He quietly said to Ricky.

"Then I'll make sure she won't."

"From what I've seen I'm surprised she doesn't know already."

"Listen, we all keep quiet and no one finds out."

"If you say so...I got something on the white fang."

"What is it?"

"Recruitment meeting going on this Friday in Vale."

"We might find out exactly what this 'deal' with the white fang the templars have made."

"We infiltrate and get info, that's all."

"Agreed, crashing their party would just alert the Templars of our search."

"So then now we wait."

Ricky nodded and they both entered the dorm and neither went back to sleep as Cyrus stayed on his scroll and Ricky as quietly as he could sharpened his hidden blades.
