Chapter 3: Beacon
Suzaku sat on the metal bench of the small craft next to Euphemia, his chest wrapped in gauze, but he wasn't concerned with an injury like that. His attention was on the stranger. He sat there looking cautiously towards the stranger. He called himself Ozpin and said he was here to help, but Suzaku was still suspicious of his true intent. He was indeed a mystery to the green eyed warrior.
They all sat in silence, none willing to make the first move until the Professor spoke, "It is strange that you and your girlfriend decided to come through the Forever Fall. Not many would be willing to even set foot through it, let alone wander for hours in the Forest. So why did you?"
The two of them looked towards the gray haired man, before Suzaku sighed, "It wasn't our intention to be in the forest - we just found ourselves there." Suzaku spoke but his focus returned to Ozpin, the man in front of him. The man, in some ways, reminded him of Alpha, though his gaze was nothing like the gaze of the boy's, which peered deep into his soul. Ozpin had a very calming aura around him, but it demanded obedience as well.
"I apologize if I had intruded into your land", Suzaku spoke.
Ozpin just looked at him before chuckling. "You don't need to apologize Mr. Suzaku. In fact, what you did in the forest showed incredible skill", Ozpin said, before he readjusted his spectacles.
Suzaku was confused - he tried not to show it, but his eyes held anger. "How do you know my name and how long we had been in the forest?" Suzaku asked bitterly.
Ozpin turned his gaze away from him and pulled out a small glass-like device. "I watched as you walked through the forest - through the camera system that is installed in the woods", he replied calmly.
They both looked towards him with sour expressions.
"You knew we were out there the whole time, and you decided to watch. Why?" Euphemia asked calmly.
"Because I wanted to see how you would perform against the Grimm in the forest", he answered.
Suzaku's face became confused again as he looked at the Professor. "Those creatures are called Grimm?" Suzaku asked.
The professor nodded. "They are the greatest threat to humanity. In order to combat them we train people called 'Hunters' in highly specialized schools. They protect the four kingdoms of Remnant."
Suzaku finally understood what this Professor was after. "You want us to enroll into one of these schools", Suzaku plainly spoke.
Ozpin let a small smile appear on his face. "My name is Headmaster Ozpin. So tell me, do you wish to join my school, Beacon Academy, and become a Huntsman?" Ozpin asked.
Suzaku stood there for a moment before he felt the aircraft descend and land on the ground. He looked at the professor for a moment longer before he finally spoke, "I'll join if you give Euphemia and I a place to stay together."
Ozpin just smiled at them and nodded his head in agreement before the doors to the aircraft opened and let the occupants out. "Come to my office at the top of the tower and we'll discuss the details. Oh! By the way, welcome to Beacon Academy, Suzaku and Euphemia."
