updated: 26/12/2017: minor changes
Now morning has arrived as the sun started to shine above Beacon academy. Waking up Akira had to first look at his scroll to see his information for this world, and his bank account,
'so I was born outside the walls of vale, my father was... a-' however Akira's thoughts was interrupted by the sounds of his stomach, remembering he hasn't eaten anything since he came here, he put his scroll back into the Sea Of Souls,
Getting up he let his pajamas flash away in blue flames, replacing them with his casual clothes and then went to the cafeteria.
Cafeteria
Akira walked over to the cafeteria and delicious smells filled the air. The first thing Akira started grabbing was toast, eggs, for his it might not be delicious than sojiro's curry, but it will do.
He heard someone calling his name, looking around he saw the two sisters Ruby and Yang, Akira went over to the two's table and sat down next to ruby.
"Good morning, Akira!" Said the red-hooded girl with a beaming smile. "Wassup, Akira."
"Good morning, Ruby." the persona-user said, than turned to the blonde-haired girl. "good morning, Yang."
The three begun chatting with each other, small talk here and there yang making puns, Akira being, well Akira, Ruby cringing from Yang's puns, eventually the three teens exited the cafeteria and went to their respective lockers.
Lockers
"Come on, nora let's go."
"But not, 'Together' Together *giggle*"
"Wonder, what those two were worked up about." The red-hooded girl questioned
"Oh, who knows... so! you seem awfully chipper this morning" said the blonde-haired brawler, as Akira who was once not talking unless spoken to.
"Yup! No more awkward small talk, or 'getting to know you' stuff, today I let my sweetheart do the talking." she exclaimed as she begun to stroke and hug her scythe, Akira will never get Ruby's obsession for weapons.
"Well, remember ruby, your not the only one going through the initiation-" the trickster said "-if you wanna grow up, your going to have meet new people and learn to work together."
The young girl scoffed at Akira's words "ugh, Akira you sound like dad."
"Okay, First off all what does meeting people have to do with fighting?-" Well, a lot of things but theres too many to list "- and secondly, I don't people to help me grow up, I drink milk!" She exclaimed while crossing her arms.
"But, what about when we form teams?" The older sibling said.
"Uhm.. I don't know i-i'll just be on your team or something" the younger sibling responded.
"Maybe, you should try being on someone else's team" the blonde said in a awkward voice.
Before the sliver-eyed girl could respond akira stepped in "well ruby, Meeting people have a lot to do with fighting. There are those times that when it will be too much for one person to handle, nobody can fight alone, it's always best to keep your teammates close, trust me" Akira explained.
Remembering the times his fellow thieves saved his life, his guide Lavenza, his friends, the bonds he made, saved him and his friends in their darkest hour.
"Whoa, you sure know a lot about teammates and friends." Ruby commented, though still not convinced that she should meet new people.
"Well, what can I say? I have experience meeting new people." Akira commented.
Yang then turned to her sister. "Also it will be nice to meet other people. You know, breaking out of your shell."
"What th- I don't need to break out of my shell! That is absolutely-" Ruby started but then was cut off by Jaune.
"Ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday. I would have remembered to count that high. Ohh, why does this have to happen todaaay?" Jaune whined as he walked past Weiss and red-haired girl.
"So, pyrrha have you given any thought to who's team you would like to be on?-" Said the heiress talking to the red-handed girl known as pyrrha nikos "-i'm sure everyone must be eager unite with such a strong, well known individual, such as yourself.f"
"Hmm... I'm not quite sure, I planning on letting the chips fall where they may." the armoured red-head said.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could be on the same team." said the heiress.
"Well that sounds grand" Pyrrha said.
"Great!" Weiss exclaimed while she begun to mumble, about her and pyrrha being the most powerful duo ever, akira shook his head at Weiss, he than went somewhere deep in the lockers so he can change into his thief clothes.
After changing into a more battle ready clothing, Akira was maintaining his knife: paradise lost and his pistol: tyrant pistol, in his original world the weapons would be nothing more than toys and replicas, but in this world those rules have been broken making these toys into real weapons, the trickster doesn't know if it's because of the dimension hopping or what not, it's a welcome change as Akira would be limited to his personas and fist if his weapons were useless, speaking of personas it seems some a waking up from their slumber.
'Arsene' Akira called for his other-self.
"Yes, trickster." said the persona.
'How many of us are awake now?' Akira questioned.
"Ah, a few more has awoken, like those of the fool and death, lovers and hermit Arcanas, and many more" the gentleman thief said with the tip of his hat.
'Alright, i will need all the help i can get for this day' Akira said the his other-self, said self let out a small chuckle.
"Very well, we will heed your call."
Emerald Forest: Top Hill
All the first year students of the academy stood on top of a hill that was on Beacon grounds. It overlooked a huge forest that was as green as an emerald gem. The students all stood on pads that had the Beacon logo on them that were lined up in a long row.
Akira was looking at Ozpin, than at the forest scanning it with his third-eye it's a very useful skill in this situation.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Professor Ozpin started with a hand behind his back, and the other holding a coffee mug.
"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams." Glynda stated. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates… today."
"Wha?" Ruby gasped.
"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well with." The headmaster continued.
"Ohhh…" The red-hooded girl groaned.
"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin concluded that part of the explanation.
Akira could have sworn he heard glass shattering as he heard Ruby exclaim. "What?!"
Now what ever the headmaster is doing, is out of Akira's business but the first person you make eye contact with is just dumb and unorthodox.
"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy anything 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 teturn to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing as we grade you appropriately. Are there any questions."
"No professor, I don't think so" said the thief.
Jaune hesitantly raised his hand. "Yea, um… sir?"
"Good, now take your positions." Professor said ignoring the scrawny blond.
"Alright let's do this" the trickster stated while being launched into the air.
"Uhh sir? I got umm… a question." The blond started.
"No, you will be falling." Ozpin stated.
"Ohhh… I see, so… like, did you hand out parachutes first?" Jaune questioned.
"No, you will be using your own landing strategy." The older male replied.
"Oh.. okay." Jaune responded in an unsure matter. "So what exactly is a landing strategyyyyyyyyy?!" He screamed as he was soaring through the air.
(A/N: I will not work on the main cast's initiation as that's been done already in so many Fanficions before this, instead this will focus on Akira's point of view)
Emerald Forest
Akira still in the air, as he was thinking of a landing strategy, he knew that he could easily bring himself down with Arsene, but where was the fun with that? Also it would ruin the surprise Instead, he kept flying though the air until he was under the tree line and fairly off the ground, he grabbed into a tree and flung himself into the air, doing a filp landing on the ground.
Akira always has a flair for showing off and making dramatic decisions, like when he escaped the casino, cocky and confident this is who Akira really is, or rather this is who joker really is either way it's him theres no complainting with it.
"You may be fast, but you still excel at wasting time!" Weiss then glanced around, the forest darkening. She glanced around nervously into the brush, where several pairs of gleaming red eyes appeared from the bushes. Slowly, several black wolflike Grimm pushed through the brush, the nearest one giving a howl.
Weiss had already prepared herself when suddenly a black blur came out of nowhere, sliding on the ground and taking out a few of the Grimm. She was trying to indicate who this was, the black blur showed itself, it was akira, the fool was dodging attacks from the grimms left and right, so much so that it may seem like he's dancing, with giving slashes to the said grimms.
Weiss was watching in awe but quickly snapped out of it narrowly dodges under a jumping Beowulf and sliced at its belly, Weiss then completed her stance and changed the Dust chamber on her weapon. With a now red blade, she slid forward to an unsuspecting Beowulf. As she was about to strike, Ruby appeared in a blur, slashing at the Beowulf. Off balanced, Weiss flailed her arm to redirect the strike, sending a wave of fire scorching through several trees. Ruby glanced over at the damage done, only to barely block a strike from the Beowolf's counter attack. She was sent skidding back into Weiss, bumping into her.
"Watch it!" Ruby shouted.
"Watch yourself, you attacked out of turn! I could've killed you." Weiss retorted.
Ruby glanced around at the surrounding Beowolves, muttering to herself. "You'd have to try a lot harder than that…" She then expelled the current magazine from Crescent Rose, reloading it with a black cross pack, slowly chambering the first shot with a cock of its lever.
Akira was on top of Beowulf and ripped it's head off, Though he had a bit of fun, time was up and he was getting bored. These creatures weren't providing much of a fight, than the shadows he fought, quickly jumping off the headless Grimm he landed on the ground as he snapped his fingers, black and red circles begun to form under the remaining Grimm akira had a smirk on his face. He casted one of his strongest curse-type attacks: Maeigaon.
"You're mine!" Akira exclaimed while the circles begun to shoot up, black and red energy formed destroying the poor Grimm that couldn't survive the onslaught, after dominating the grimms Off to the side, akira was now sitting on the ground patiently as he saw saw Weiss cuff Ruby on the head.
"What was that?!" The red hooded girl complained.
"Well perhaps if you had exercised even the slightest amount of caution with the placement of your strikes and had not attacked out of turn, I wouldn't have set the forest on fire!" Weiss pointed angrily over at the rising smoke, continuing to spread out.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"I'm just surprised that someone who talks so much would fail to communicate simple things like their location and strategy in battle!"
"Well I'm sorry that you need my help to fight. I'm just fine on my own!"
"Well congratulations on being the youngest child to sneak into Beacon." Weiss said snidely.
'these two reminds me of Ryuji and Ann' Akira said while doing a sweatdrop,
"indeed" said the gentleman thief.
Ruby let out a frustrated grunt, Crescent Rose unfolding and slicing down the trunk of the nearest tree. "Akira!, what do you think?!" Ruby demanded as both her and Weiss looked at the boy. Akira was deciding on how to answer the two of them, the choices are:
-well...
-be a dick and leave
-...
Take a guess which one Akira chose, it was to stay quiet and leave with the two girls behind him "H-hey wait!, Akira!" as they trailed behind. None of them noticed the huge Grimm shadow following them from the sky.
Akira, Ruby, and Weiss then came through the brush and towards the others. A loud screech was heard and a giant rave Grimm swooped down to attack them. The two huntress-in-Training dodge out of the Grimm's attack as Akira jumped away landing on a tree, deciding to let them handle this-
(A/N: Again, not doing this part of the fight as this has been made so many times, I don't want to write it so let's time skip it)
Emerald Forest
After defeating the nevermore, and the death stalker.
Ruby then jumped down and used the recoil to bring herself back down to the others away from the ruins. Weiss just gave the persona-user who was still sitting on a tree, a glare. "And why didn't you help us?"
Akira smirked as he jumped down to the ground straightening his body and pulling his red gloves. "Because if I did, I wouldn't have enough energy to fight."
And right on cue, a series of growls, howls, and other monster-related noise the Grimm can make, as Grimm from all shapes and sizes started to appear from the bushes, Beowolfs, Ursas.
"Case in point" the trickster remarked while spinning the knife in his hand.
"You guys can rest, i'll handle things from here." Akira said as he placed his hand on the edges of his mask.
[Persona 5 - Will Power]
"I am Thou, Thou art i"
"Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!"
"Ravage them!, ARSENE!" Akira shouted pulling the edges of his mask resulting in a bloody anchor as he's body was engulfed in flames, the sounds of a sinister laugh can be heard.
and when the flames took form, followed by chains surrounding him, a large humanoid figure rose from the blue flames, it had a black torso with a white cravat on its neck, it's arms covered in long, sleeves of a red vest that reached its clawed hands. Legs were covered with leggings, but the waist was not hidden by anything. Boots were worn on the feet, but blades posed at long heels for the footwear.
Two large black feathered wings on it's back like a majestic angel that had fallen from darkness, a tall top hat on it's head, the face and head completely covered in a black mask with red eyes, and a sinister smile which seems to be permanent, and to horns curling in front to finish the look, this was Arsene.
The chains holding the original phantom thief, fell into Akira's grip, obeying the unspoken order the Gentleman thief, lunged forward, two Beowolfs proceed to attack the persona, only for the said persona to dodge and slice the two Grimm with Cleave, like a hot knife through butter the said grimms were sliced in half dissolving in black mist, an Ursa came in to claw swing Akira, only for the trickster to duck underneath and slashes the grimm three times before jumping away to pull out his pistol and shot the grimm in the head,
Looking at the masive group of grimm, Akira ordered arsene to his side, the gentleman thief disappeared and reappeared at Akira's side, both of them staring at the opposition, Akira had a sinister smile placed on his face. 'it's time for some fun'
akira was slowly walking towards the grimms, as they stare at the trickster almost immediately he disappeared in a blur the teens watching was confused for a moment only for Akira to appear behind the grimms and blast them with Eiha,
an Ursa lunged forward to attack akira, the thief dodged the attack and slashes the grimm, Beowolf started to slash akira with it's claws and for him to dodge or parry the onslaught, arsene appeared behind the grimm who tried to attacked akira, the gentleman thief rose his foot and performed an axe kick slicing the Beowolf in half, angered the rest of the Beowolf tired to avenge their fallen comrade akira jumped away placing his hand on his face ordering arsene to punish them.
The gentleman thief digging his clawed hand into the ground like before black and red circles appears underneath the remaining Beowolfs, and when the power was enough, arsene release the attack pillars of red and black shot up, completely destroying the poor Grimm, an Ursa tired to attack akira while he was distracted, only for the thief to side-step and point his gun at the grimm shooting it's head killing it effectively.
[end song]
Weiss was a prideful girl, which was to be expected since she does come from one of the biggest dust company in remnant, her families' shared blood semblance was unique only to them, too see a boy able to have summoning semblance! Was a hard blow to her pride.
However she couldn't deny how effective he was at fighting the Grimms, it was almost as if he was dancing, mocking them for not being able to even touch him.
But what really had The white-haired girl's attention was the thing akira summoned, the red sinister smile it had on it's face, the black feathered wings, the really stylish tall top hat, When she first met him, Weiss had an impression that Akira Kurusu was a incompetent man based on the way he exuded himself,
But now? it changed the power he was putting off, his mere presence demanded respect, The question was how could he possibly have such a semblance?, Why is it now he appeared?, how long was he been able to hide under their nose? Weiss' cheeks reddened slightly at the thought. "whatever the case I'll find out who you are, soon enough Akira Kurusu."
the thief was having fun however the grimm he was fighting was weak compared to the shadows he fought and won against, to a normal person they are dangerous, but to an experienced thief who's been able to match that of a god these creatures were nothing but prey to him.
The trickster spinning his knife in his hands as arsene was finishing up the last of the remaining ursa, the last one proved to be a bit more stronger than it's comrades, but alas it went down with just two Cleave attacks and like the rest of the defeated grimms they dissolved in black mist.
"What a disappointment" the thief said as he left the scene, walking towards the 8 teens that were watching him from a safe distance, they were awestruck at the raven-haired boy's performance.
"What?..." The thief was given all sorts of looks and the awkward silence was not helping, luckily a certain White-haired girl was the one who broke it.
"I am interested in is how in Dust's name did you summon that?!," The heiress pointed at the Gentleman thief who was still besides akira, with shaky slim fingers. "The only people on Remnant that could have that Semblance are the ones with blood ties to the Schnee family… in other words my family."
Akira shook his head as he answered the heiress' question "to answer your question Weiss, there's no rules that state Summoning to be a Schnee exclusive trait, the world is a vastly unknown, I for one is an example" he said in a matter-of-factly.
"And if any of you have any questions for me, they will have to wait as we need to go, before anymore grimm shows up" the dimension hopping trickster said earning him a nod from all of the students.
so that's it, I really suck at endings at first I was gonna write about the main cast's initiation, but I saw that I didn't have any ideas so I decided to scrap that idea btw did you like the Awakening scene?
I hope you did, I was wondering if I should make akira and Ruby get together, but Weiss is like the complete opposite of him, and you know that opposites attract
And this is persona were talking about a game where you can be a complete pimp so i thought why not make this a harem story?
