The first thing Jaune noticed about the office was how cold it was. Not just the actual temperature either, the office was devoid of anything except the ticking of the clock and the mechanical rhythm of the gears below. Was it cool? Yes, but also oddly unnerving.
"Mr. Arc it's nice to meet you my name is Ozpin and I'm sure you know that I run the school." Jaune was terrified, the headmaster had called him in for a meeting about his performance during the entrance exam. "I heard of your feats during our exam, that machine won't be an easy fix and the records you set will hold for years to come." Jaune just nodded not trusting his own voice. "Your score on the written test was disappointing and I hope you know that we hold a high standard and your admittance was a special case." Ozpin looked him directly in the eye. "What I'm trying to say is your scores will improve do you understand?" There was a pause in the conversation while Ozpin waited for Jaune to respond.
"Yes, sir." Jaune replied.
"Good." Jaune let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. "Now that the official point of this meeting is over I have a few questions for you, the first of which being why are you here?"
"What do you mean?" Jaune asked.
"Well it is clear to me that you are more than capable to fight and kill anything the world can throw at you, Beacon is just a formality for you at so I ask why?" Ozpin took a sip from his mug while he waited for Jaune to respond.
"Well I wan-" Jaune started before Ozpin place his cup down and cut him off.
"And please spare me the typical answer." Jaune took a deep breath before answering.
"I'm bored." Ozpin looked intrigued. "There hasn't been a single thing that I haven't managed to kill in one hit, after about the hundredth time it honestly loses its appeal."
"Then why come to Beacon, you already outmatch any of the students in my school, if it was a challenge you were looking for the ancient Grimm out in the wilderness would have been better," Ozpin said trying to probe deeper the meeting turning into an interrogation. After all, with the recent attack on the fall maiden, he couldn't be too careful.
"I'm sure you've felt it." Ozpin began reaching for his cane. "I don't know how to describe it but it's like there is a storm coming to Beacon."
"Choose your next words carefully Mr. Arc." Ozpin's hand firmly gripping his cane. Jaune seemed to look past Ozpin.
"I can feel it something or someone has turned their attention here." Ozpin's eyes widened. "And I don't know who or what." Jaune's eyes refocused on Ozpin. "But they're strong and I want to fight them." His voice rang with excitement, Ozpin relaxed when he heard him.
"What if they prove to be no match and fall as easily as the others?" Ozpin asked his voice lacking the edge it had earlier. Jaune looked towards the floor as his enthusiasm drained. Only for a small smile to come across his face.
"At least I will have made some friends along the way." At that Ozpin fully relaxed and picked up his coffee and took another sip.
"Well I do believe that was all I had to discuss with you, I do hope you enjoy your time at Beacon young man."
"Assuming I pass initiation?" Jaune said with a smirk. Ozpin rolled his eyes and gestured for Jaune to leave. As Jaune got into the elevator Ozpin leaned back into his chair and fished his scroll out of his pocket going through a few numbers before tapping an unmarked number.
"Oz you better have a damn good reason to call I was just talking to this really cute waitress and we were really hitting it off!" The huntsman's voice shouted over the phone.
"Qrow," Ozpin said shutting down his ramble. "The Queen is on the move."
"Well shit, this is serious." Qrows voice hushed as not to be heard. "How did you find out?"
"Just call it hunters intuition." Ozpin glanced out his window. "I want you to cancel your search for the spring maiden and come back to Vale, there's a storm coming and I want you here on tornado watch."
Hey back again. Sorry about the length this week was very busy and I didn't have much time to write. This was supposed to just be the start of the chapter that would lead into initiation but I ran out of time and I wanted to get something out, but next week I'm pretty free so I'll try and get something longer put together.
As always your thoughts are appreciated and I thought I should mention even that yes this was inspired by a re watch of the entire One Punch Man series I know it's a little late to mention that and a lot of the reviews said it but I thought I should mention it for those who don't know.
And if you haven't watched One Punch Man go and watch it now it's amazing
Anyways Cya next time I post
