When we got to Beacon I went to Ozpins office, he wanted to talk to me for some reason. When I got there he was sipping some coffee, like the usual thing he'd do.
"You wanted to see me?"I asked.
"Yes, as you know the student count at this school is terrifically high."He started.
"Just get to the point."I told him.
"I would like to put you on a squad."He said.
"What? No, no, I won't do it."I told him.
"Explain why not."He sipped his coffee.
"Because 1, they'll get in my way, and 2 you remember the last time I was with a squad."I told him.
"I in fact do remember."He nodded.
"Ozpin, it's almost time."Glynda came into the room.
"Thank you . Delsin, I do believe it's in your best interest."He said.
"No."I told him.
"Alright."
"Ozpin I said-did you say alright?"
"Yes I did, I won't put you on a squad."He sipped more coffee.
'This is weird, when ever he has his mind set on something he never drops it. hmmmmm.'I thought.
"Now come, we have a new set of students to introduce to Beacon."He got up and we made our way to the auditorium.
When Ozpin & Glynda went on stage I did too, just invisible. I used video to make my way across the stage to watch over the crowd. There were tons of students, I figured 2 out of the hundreds. The first was that Ruby girl I saved a while ago. The next was none other then Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee corporation, maybe when I kick out CInder I can ransom her off for some profitable gifts from her father or just family and friends in general, OH maybe have them give me half of the Schnee corporation...okay maybe that's a little too pricy even for the guys own daughter, if I knew he was a cold bastard when it came to morality, it's not like I'm saying I have any, but at least I let my prisoners run 10 feet before I riddle them with any of my elements.
Ozpin seemed to not care about the speech, which is what I would expect from him. Along side Ruby was this chick with MASSIVE hair and pretty alluring features may I say. A lot of things flew through my head, just taking in the massive amount of people from Vale and all over the kingdoms. Y'know, back in America, the things people most gunned for was popularity, not saying hunters and huntresses weren't popular but they sure as hell don't get the same amount of money that actors or actresses get when they do a movie, the same thing with song writers...I wonder how much Ozpin makes a year being the head principle of a school filled with kids who can utterly wreck the shit out of the D.U.P. Wow, I can't remember the last time the Dupes actually came to mind, it's been a long time since those days Delsin...I mean, Damian Rayes. All of the kingdoms think I'm dead, when I'm done here I'll show them what I've actaully been doing over the past years, enhancing powers and so forth.
"...s up to you to take the first step."I came out of my thoughts just to hear Ozpin end his speech.
"You will gather in the ball room tonight, and tommorrow initiation begins, be ready. Dismissed."
That night
"I swear to god every year they change the god damn kitchen area!"I fumed.
Literally I was giving out smoke exhaust as I tried to find the kitchen, can't they ever have a directory or something, A MAP! Seriously I'm gonna complain about this to Ozpin about it, maybe that'll change his mind.
"Okay, calm down Delsin, it's just some hot milk...no reason to get yourself too angry about it."Hey, super villains such as myself need to drink late night hot milk for good dreams of world domination am I right, and maybe get back to Fetch and Eugene, I wonder how they're doing?
I stopped in front of a set of double door, being that there were no lables on the doors, I couldn't guess what I was walking in to."Here we go."
I opened the door and only to find the ball room."Dammit."I muttered. Maybe I could cut through here to find the kitchen.
"Hey you."I turned around and what would you know, it was that Ruby girl.
"Oh, it's you."I said.
"I just wanted to say thanks, for helping me that night."She said.
"Well, think of it as a favor, and maybe one day I'll call upon your services."I said.
"Hey Ruby, who's this?"Right behind her was the knock out of a girl, blondie.
"You know each other?"I asked, confused.
"Yeah, Ruby here is my little sis'."She smiled.
'I can definately see who got the better of the genes!'I shouted in my mind.
"Name's Yang, Yang Xiao Long"She extended her hand.
"D-D-Del-Damian, Damian Rayes."I shook her hand.
"Well it's nice to meet you Damian, you a 2nd year or something?"She asked.
"You can say I kinda work here."I told her.
"Work here? But you're what, 18?"
"Yeaaah, I got a job as a hunter."
"Weird, never heard your name before."She said.
"I'm a new one, got it a few months ago. Anyway, I gotta go, see ya."I said monotonistically as I scooted out of the ball room, like I said before, that girl is a knockout.
Morning IT'S MORNING!
I woke up this morning, had some pancakes. Trained a bit with some 'practice dummies' (don't worry they've only been gone a week now) and proceeded torwards the cliff. Initiation was starting and I always liked to see who would be the first to go. There are many ways to get to the cliff facing the emerald forest, but going through the locker room was indeed the fastest.
"My dear sister Yang, are you implying that you don't want to be on the same team as me?"I came in on Yang and Ruby's conversation.
"What no, of course I do, I just thought...I don't know that maybe it'll help you break out of your shell."
"What, I don't need to break out of my shell that's-"
"RIdicuous!"I heard that Jaune guy say as he passed the duo (the only reason I know him cause I get my hands on the school roster every now and then).
"So, how's it going?"I asked.
"Somebody. doesn't want me on their team."
"Ruby, that's not what I meant."
"Whatever."
"Hey can you scoot a bit, I need to get into this locker."I pointed to the one beside Rubys.
"Sure."She moved, and I punched in a 6-digit code.
"Y'know it's hard to imagine you getting a job here."Yang said.
"Really?"I asked.
"Yeah, you aren't as formal as Ozpin, or any of the other faculty I've seen recently, all you wair is a red hoodie with a black jean jacket, a chain on your wrist, jeans and a beanie."She pointed out.
"You really do like red."Ruby said.
"I'm not the only one red riding hood."I said.
"Who?"She asked.
"Never mind."I looked back to the locker, but forgot what I was gonna get.
"Argh, not again."I moaned.
"What do you mean?"Yang asked.
"I have these...amnesiac moments every once and a while. See I got amnesia a while back and these are the side effects."
"Oh, sorry to hear."Ruby said.
Okay, the real story. Apparently some asshole shot me in the face. See this happened back in Seattle, some cop shot me in the face point-blank, and I couldn't remember anything. I remembered only a day later due to Reggie reminding me, I've tested this a bit and here's what I came up with. If I get shot in the face with a powerful blast I lose my memory, but because of my fast healing all I need to do is have someone tell me things that happened in the past hour or so and I'm all good. The last time this happened...well I really can't recall the events of that day, all I know is what Ozpin told me. But I know he's keeping some things back because I wouldn't have these moments if I remembered everything.
"Will all first year students please report ot the cliff for intitation."She repeated.
"Ah, my favorite part of the year, initiation, time to see who lives through it."I looked to see Jaune nearly get impaled by-is that Pyrrha Nikos?
Wow, I knew she'd be going to a battle school, but Beacon? This maybe my lucky year, I'm utterly surrounded with chicks. Anyway back to that Jaune Arc guy, he almost got impaled, Weiss and Pyrrha left, but when she took her spear I noticed she didn't pluck it out of him, it just floated to her. Odd.
"Having some trouble there, lady killer?"
"I don't understand, my dad said that all women look for is confidence, where did I go wrong?"
"I think snow angel was a bad start."Yang said.
"If that was true then every nerd out there would have their dream girl."
"Come on Jaune, let's go."
Cliff
"For years you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the emerald forest."Ozpin said.
I stood next to him, uncloaked, the only reason I would cloak is to not be seen by anyone who would notice me. Being a new generation of kids they hardely even know the name Delsin Rowe.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams, well allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teamates, today."
"These teamates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it's in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well with. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
"What!"I looked to Ruby.
"See, I told you."
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition on the way, do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff, you will guard that item as well as your standing and grade you appropiately. Any question?"
"Yeah um, sir-"
"Good, take your positions."
"Ugh sir, I've got a question. So this landing strategy thing, wh-what is it? You're like, dropping us off our something."
"Nah, you'll be falling."I told him.
"Oh, I see, so like, did you hand out parachutes for us?"
"Nope. Gonna land your own way."I told
"Uh huh, yeah. So what is a landing strategYYYYYYYYYYYY!"He yelled as he was thrown into the air.
"I hardely think he'll survive 10 minutes."I admitted.
Ozpin just sipped his coffee."Well, I'll be in the screening room, see ya."I moved forward when I heard a click.
I looked down to see a hidden launch pad."Oh you FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"
Glynda just realized Ozpins plan."You're gonna make him choose for himself aren't you."
"Yes."Ozpin drank more coffee.
"Let's see how they do."Ozpin said as he walked off.
