Chapter 2 : A New Life For Me
Ken was sitting comfortable inside the office of Professor Ozpin while sipping on his hot coffee given by Glynda, not to long ago he was walking across the long hallway being stared down by other students . He didn't mind being stared by so many people but this wasn't something he planned on exactly, Ozpin was nice enough to offer him some coffee to relive his discomfort when they entered his office. He didn't exactly understand why coffee would be the first thing in mind for Ozpin to suggest of reliving his displeased state but he shrugged the thought and accepted his kind offer, while both Ozpin and Ken were comfy sitting down and sipping on their mugs .
Glynda was standing by the window observing the new student from top to bottom, she got a better look of him now that they were not being watched by other students . He seemed quite average for a teenager and surprisingly well mannered, maybe it was the discipline he learned during his times being a captain and soldier . All though he may seem okay now but she still didn't trust the warrior not one bit "So I take it that now you'd want to see if the file you read was true, correct ?" Ken finally spoke setting the mug down Ozpin's desk.
"Yes, and I'd I also want to ask you every thing I need to know about your grimm heritage so we could avoid any...complicated situations" Ozpin said taking another sip of his mug, honestly he has been sipping on that mug since they were on the landing port . How much coffee is in his mug exactly ?
"Yes ofcourse, I'll answer any questions you have for me sir . I'll tell you everything you need to know" Ken responded while setting his chin on his palm, I guess he could trust the guy since his dad sent him a file of everything Ozpin had on him . If his father could trust Ozpin with his background then maybe he could trust him too, "Thank you for you cooperation, now if you mind ?" Ozpin said .
"Ofcourse"
Ken then stood up from his seat and closed both his eyes as he began to summon the Grimm they wanted to see, Ozpin and Glynda watched attentively as they both saw black nerves forming by the side of Ken's left eye . Glynda took a small step back as to fear that this could be dangerous for both her and Ozpin, all though the headmaster was not feeling the same emotion Glynda was feeling, he watched carefully as the side of his skin close to his left eye began to turn grey and started to spread but stopping close to his nose area . As a small section of Ken's face was now grey colored he opened his eyes and revealed that his left eye had turned black with the iris and pupil now crimson red, Glynda had her mouth slightly opened but covered it with her hand . She had to admit this was interesting but seeing the boy having those scaring eyes made her shiver a bit, Ozpin was fascinated with how the boy looked . He looked at Ken's hands and saw that his left arm had turned grey colored too, and not to mention he grew long sharp dark purple claws on his fingers . This truly was revolutionary for him, to find a boy being a hybrid having human and grimm anatomy on one body . This was going to be an interesting year for him, "such amazing features, you are a very interesting boy Ken" Ozpin commented while taking another sip of his mug .
Seriously this was really getting him curios, just how much coffee does this guy need anyway ? And how can he be some calm when sipping it too? Ken shrugged the questions from his thoughts and sat back down on his seat, "I take now you have questions, yes ?" Ken said while sitting back down on his seat, the grimm features he had earlier died down and went back to normal .
"Yes, first I'd like to ask . How much control do you have with your grimm exactly ?" Ozpin asked
"Well you could say I have three stages of becoming a grimm, stage one is what you saw . I can grow claws, my skin turns grey and my eyes turn red . Stage two is when I start to grow a mask and my body starts to alter, all though I can only control and keep my sanity till stage one so stage two is where I lose control . And in my experience in the past, I fear that I my have a stage three when possibly my body starts to become a full grimm with me going in a blind berserk rampage" Ken explained as he eyed the professor for his expression, only he got a bit ticked as he saw the headmaster taking another sip .
"I see, is there any side effects or symptoms of being part grimm ?"
"You guessed right, since being part grimm and living with Beowolves for a long time . I must consume human flesh or blood to satisfy my hunger, atleast once a month . All though consuming grimm can be helpful as well but human meat helps me contain my grimm stomach more effectively" ken said . Glynda watched with eyes widened as the boy continued to explain, she did not want be near him if he ever does get hungry . That's more then enough reason for her not to trust him, "but ofcourse you can still eat normal human food right ?" Glynda ask, this she needed to know .
"Actually yes, all though it doesn't exactly fill my stomach" He responded, he did prefer human meals then eating flesh but he needed so he could control his...well...you know .
Ozpin held his hand on his chin, perhaps what David promise him would surely be beneficial . All though he still needs to go through the test at Emerald forest . Even if his file said he was a good performing soldier and captain, he still needed to go through it like any other student . It was only fair for him, he was already aware he wasn't getting any special treatments . "I've been given a special serum given by your father, he inform me to use it only if you lose control" Ozpin spoke .
Ozpin handed Ken a light pink liquid on a small container, Ken immediately recognizes the serum . "This is 'Tootaxil', it's a serum that somehow suppresses my grimm transformation when I going berserk . But it's effects make me unconscious when I'm injected with it" Ken explains while handing the serum back to the headmaster.
"Hmmm interesting, well I suppose that's enough questions for today . Miss Goodwitch can you please lead Ken to his dorm if you mind" Ozpin said .
"Ofcourse Professor Ozpin, Markes follow me" Goodwitch ordered while taking the scroll from Ozpin's hand to his dorm . Ken stood up from his seat and bid farewell to Ozpin . "Thank your for help Professor Ozpin, I'll assure you I'll return the favor someday"
As Ken opened the door with Miss Goodwitch behind, Ozpin spoke one last thing before Ken could leave . "Ken, I expect wonderful things from you. . And be sure to make lots of friends, if you ever need any help don't hesitant to ask"
Ken led out a smile and replied, "yes sir, and thank you"
(Insert, RWBY Intro 2 : Time To Say Goodbye)
Ken and Goodwitch had been walking for a while, both not saying a word to each other since they left Ozpin's office . Ken knew very well that she felt uneasy being around him, she's not really the first person that's been like that to him . Most people would probably act that way to him if they knew about him, he was pretty much use to it, it's one of the reasons why he likes being alone. "So ummm, when does my classes start exactly ?" Ken asked, he still had his hood up but he didn't want to make eye contact with the teacher .
"Well first you must pass a test before starting class, even if you are a capable soldier . We must test you like any other student, I assume you want to be tested soon today ?" Glynda asked, Ken finally pulls his hood down shakes his head a bit to let his hair loose . The teacher admire his hair as it was smooth and pretty long, she could see very well that it in good care but she did felt a bit jealous. "Yes please, if I may . I would like to do the test soon maybe...in three hours if possible" He replied .
"Alright, I'll inform Professor Ozpin as soon as we get to your dorm" Glynda once again stayed quiet as Ken walked and followed close to her, she really isn't the talkative type is she . Ken might as well be honest with her if he wanted to make a good first expression here on Beacon, "you don't like me, do you Miss Goodwitch" He announced .
Goodwitch was taken a bit from his comment, all though she shrugged back to her professional attitude . She replied back to the young teen "No Mr. Markes, I don't particularly hate you but I just don't trust you"
"I'm not surprised, most people don't particularly like me" Ken did hate it though, he has been through a lot already . It was hard enough leaving Mistral and his squad, he doesn't really want to deal with anymore negativity. "I really don't want step on the wrong foot professor Goodwitch but can you atleast try to get to know me first before you get wrong ideas"
Goodwitch did agree with Ken, she was a bit to judgmental about the whole Human/Grimm thing . I guess she could give him a chance, not like he never needed it in the first place . "Hmm I suppose I did give you the wrong first expression Mr. Markes, just know that I won't be treating you differently like all the other students"
"Thank you that means a lot" he gave her a smile after he ended the conversation, she then looks up and finally sees the dorm Ken was staying at . She quickly faces forward as to hide her small blush, even she didn't notice the blush she had . She was to fixated to getting to Ken's dorm that she didn't notice that she picked up the pace to get to her destination quickly, Ken was left a bit behind wondering why she started walking fast . She then opens the door and hands him his scroll, "all your uniforms are already set inside your closet, if you have anymore questions then feel free to ask me, Professor Ozpin or the dorm mates . I'll see in three hours at Beacon Cliff Mr. Markes" she announced fixing her glasses .
"Yes Miss Goodwitch, thank you for leading me to my dorm" Glynda couldn't help but look into his eyes as he thanks her, no student has ever thanked her so much in one day . Maybe she really did miss judge this boy, then she quickly closes the door and signs heavily. "Why do I feel so strange, this is very...unique . I'm sure I'm imagining things" she thought as she walks away to her class .
Ken didn't have much belongs so setting up and getting the feel of the dorm was no problem, he opened the window and let the windy air blow back against his cloak and hair . He admires the view of his dorm, Beacon Academy looked absolutely stunning from up here . "Wow, this view is amazing" He mumbled .
He suddenly felt a familiar feeling down his stomach, he almost forgotten that he needed to eat after arriving at Beacon . Flying for hours and doing nothing but reading and sleeping, he sure felt hungry . "Guess it's time for lunch break"
As he opened the door with his scroll up his sleeves, closes it and starts to walk through the hall way towards the cafeteria despised not knowing where it is . If he was going to waste time trying to find the food court atleast he was going to waste time while reading, he pulled his book from his sleeve and began reading from the last paragraph he left off .
Even if he was reading while walking, he was still aware of the people walking towards him . He maneuvers left and right to avoid running into anyone, after a while of walking he was seriously getting hungrier the longer he takes, even though he was able to avoid anyone at his path . He wasn't able to react fast enough from an incoming individual making him drop his book while the young student stumbles down from impact, "oh my, are you okay there ?" Ken asks while offering a hand to the young red cloaked...girl ?
"Sorry...I wasn't looking, are you okay...I'm really sorry . I was-" when the girl took Ken's head, she cut off her own sentence when she got a better look at her helper . "You're that student from earlier !" She pointed out .
"Your that girl with the...silver eyes" Ken replied . He picks her up back into her feet and shrugs some dust of his cloak, she noticed the book in the ground which she instantly takes and gives the student back to his hand . "Here's your book Mr ?"
"Markes, Ken Markes...and yours ?" The girl sticks out her hand and introduces herself . "Ruby, Ruby Rose"
