Yang POV
We all got seated for class. It was the usual, wake up, eat, talk and laugh and then classes. There will always be the classes to just ruin the day. Combat classes are fine but, sitting down, taking notes and listening to things I can't use when fighting a Nevermore is pretty dumb from my point of view. I turn my head looking for someone. 'Where is he? I haven't seen him for a while. Blake saw him though…' I looked at Blake and thought about the possibility of how close those two could be now. 'I'm just overthinking stuff! Plus, no way can those two become close that fast! Or can they?' I thought again before shaking my head away from those thoughts. 'WAIT! Why do I even care?! Get your head straight Yang!'
Team JNPR entered the room with Nora practically busting the door open and rushing over towards us "Hey guys guess what! I just heard from this friend of mine who has a friend of a friend of a girl with a boyfriend with no friends that we'll be getting 3 new students!" My team and I looked at Nora, impressed and shocked not by her news but from how much she doesn't need air in her lungs to talk. "She's saying that there'll be 3 more students coming in today…" it's a good thing Ren is always there with her to balance things out. We all laugh, seeing this loveteam and the punchline is how clueless they are about it. 'Are they really clueless about it?'
"Perhaps it is the transferees are Agony's new team mates" Pyrrha spoke up from the side of Jaune. "Wow! Isn't that quick? I wonder what they're going to be like?" Jaune added in with it.
"I bet they're a bunch of misfits like Agony if they'll be a team with him" Weiss still kept on bashing Agony for some reason even after defending Velvet and not doing anything wrong so far. "Oh come on Weiss! What's with the hate? It's not like he's a big trouble maker" I defend for Agony.
"He's a bounty hunter!" she defended her statement, she seem to be very convinced that she's right so she continued to prove her point "He catches people for money, regardless of their actions; the higher the price on their heads the better for him. Sure he hasn't killed but just set the price high enough and I bet he'd be more than happy to put a bullet through a person's head"
"But look at him! He hasn't done anything bad so far! He even protected Velvet from that asshole Cardin!" As I finished, Cardin heard what I just said and screamed back "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?" he stood up and looked for the source of the voice so I stood up and faced him "What got a problem with it?" his face turned pale immediately to my amusement "No ma'am" he just sit back quietly and the rest of the class just laughed and giggled at him. I smiled and waved before sitting back down and went back to my argument with Weiss "See, now he isn't such a big talk"
Weiss still seemed to be ice hard, not convinced that Agony can be trusted. "He hasn't done anything wrong YET" she emphasized her last word "I'm sorry but I just can't trust someone who fights for money. The way I see it, his loyalty can just be bought. I mean think about it, we've seen him fight a whole team! What if a bounty is one day placed on our heads?"
I looked around and the others did seem a little uneasy about her idea. I tried to argue again but Blake beat me to the punch and she defended Agony "Well, just think that he was born from outside the kingdoms so I think he just became a bounty hunter to make his way through life" she didn't even bother looking at Weiss directly, it was only her eyes that looked at Weiss. "If you don't trust him, then just look at me. You guys know that I was from the White Fang, I bet there's a bounty on my head but he still hasn't gone after me nor has he spread the word about me to the police, I'm still here with you guys" this time, she looked at Weiss directly, turning her face towards her "The way I see it, he's just been alone for too long…"
Her last statement seemed to hit Weiss hard since I heard her whisper to herself "he's just lonely…" Weiss did seem a little shaken but she argued back "I'm sorry but I just can't, maybe if I get more time to know him more then maybe I'll be able to accept him"
Ruby stopped the whole argument "Then that's great! We have a whole year to do that!"
"He does seem to be quite good in character so far" Ren agreed to her which Nora supported with a scream "YEAH! He's pretty awesome!"
I gave her a high-five "RIGHT!? Hehe, he's pretty cool"
"I guess if I'm not so scared of him then maybe he is a cool guy…" Jaune added with worry.
"Ahaha, that's all great but I think we shouldn't judge him this early and that we should take our sits…" Pyrhha laughed it off and moved to her sits which we followed as we just talked about some fights and imagined some. It wasn't too long before Prof. Glynda came in the room with the new students following her behind and Agony mixed in with them.
Ruby POV
We just witnessed the official coronation of team ARCN into Beacon and it did seem to be quite an awesome team. Each member demonstrated themselves upfront and they were all so cool!
Reid was so quick and fluid as he practically juggled his chakrams all over the place then return back to his hands. Chrome and her monstrosity of an axe would even leave Prof. Port in shame and she uses it like nothing. Napel and her sword just cuts through everything as if it was just paper and she also looked so pretty. Agony just sat back and enjoyed the show. Of course after the class, there was a whole clamor as they tried to talk to team ARCN specially the boys trying to make the moves on the two new girls in the class. "Wow, they sure are instantly famous huh?" I looked over at my team and they didn't seem to care at all "I bet Agony must be so annoyed right now" we all laughed a little at my joke
"Yeah… He must have no idea what to do right now and just wants to get out the room" Yang added as we looked over at them. They were handling it quite well. Reid seemed to be liking the attention right now, Chrome was panicking while Napel was just casually answering whatever question she hears meanwhile Agony is just straight out ignoring them or answering with extreme sarcasm that got most of them laughing.
Finally feeling sorry for them, Yang called them all off. "ALRIGHT GUYS! I THINK THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH YOUR INTERVIEW!" out of the noise I hear someone actually say "shut up" and Yang heard that clearly and triggered her just a bit. "YOU GUYS BETTER LEAVE THEM OR NORA AND I WILL BREAK YOUR LEGS…" a dangerous aura hugged the two of them and it fused together causing everyone in the room, including us, to feel a chill down our spine. Instantly, the crowd of students surrounding team ARCN took a step back in complete sync with each other, bowed down and went back to what they were originally doing, saving their questions for another time.
"ALL RIGHT! Let's go team!" I announced and we all moved and went to the cafeteria with team ARCN as they were led by Agony. Agony rushed over to us and walked beside Yang "Jeez, thanks for that save Yang. They were getting pretty annoying" I snickered because I was able to predict his reaction correctly.
"Don't expect me to be you light and savior all the time" Yang said over to them.
"Is that how you saw yourself there for a couple of minutes?" Agony asked almost as if he was joking. "Savor those moments, those are the only times I'll need saving from you"
"Oh please, you need me…" Yang said as the two talked.
"Shut it you love birds! Let's eat!" I skipped towards the cafeteria with extra joy. I felt so happy for my sister and Agony, they may not admit it but they looked very well together. We went in the cafeteria and took our sits with each other, occupying a large part of the cafeteria compared to others.
"Such a wonderful day to see your beauty je'taime" the new student, Reid, suddenly said. He grabbed my hand and moved his head towards it. I was too shocked by it that I didn't have time to think and react but luckily, my big sister is with me. A punch suddenly connects to the back of his head, knocking him down to the table but not unconscious.
"Nice try but if those lips even touches my sister without my permission then I'll make sure it'll be kissing your ass for a whole week" Yang immediately threatened which then made Reid back away.
"Yang… Language…" Blake reminded her.
"What? It's not like I said 'fuck' or something"
Agony laughed and said "You're an amazing big sister to follow and I hope you know that" the sarcasm just shot right through Yang. He went over to his fallen team mate and I can just barely hear their conversation. "Really, 'je t'aime ?" Agony teased first.
"I read it in this book. There's this world just like ours but no grimm and they live on a world just like ours but no grimm so they're super advanced in technology but they don't have dust. They also fought dozens of war against each other! It's so cool and dramatic! You should read it when you have the time"
Agony raised a brow before answering "Did you really read it or did you just listen to some story teller? I can't really imagine you being the patient type. And just to inform you, I've read SOME parts of it"
Blake heard their conversation and it caught her interest "Are you talking about the book Earth?"
"Yeah! That's the title!" Reid exclaimed proudly.
Napel joined in as well "It's a good read… quite an amazing perspective and look on a different world"
Reid smiled and added in "Yeah… Living in a world like that, no grimm, must be pretty nice"
"Really?" Agony looked over at them "Don't you guys think it's more scarier? I mean, they may not have grimm, but the book shows that a person harms another. It practically says that humans are the true and greatest enemies of humans. The most dangerous enemy of man is themselves"
"That's a nice perspective there, but I think…" Blake discussed her opinion which bored me to even listen to.
I moved over to my sister, Weiss, Chrome and team JNPR. "Book nerds" I whispered to them "Am I right?"
"My whole team is in there and I just can't relate…" Chrome said gloomily at our side.
"Awww… Don't worry! We got your back! And your nose!" Nora cheered her up, snatching away her 'nose' and we all laughed at the two of them.
