With all the people I have in meet my life, Ruby Rose was someone I wish I had spent more time with.
I saved her from a pack of Grimm around 8 years ago when I was on Patch.
We were little ways away from her home so she and I travel for a little while, let me tell she was a bit of problem for me as she asks first If I was hunter, then how my axe worked as a musket , how I was so tall, how old I was you get the idea.
As my time with Ruby stretch longer than I anticipated my patience started to wear a little thin.
But couldn't help but smile the entire time I was with her.
Her small stature made me a Tower in comparison to her. But she a big heart and more energy than I can ever have, the way she would ask me questions about the world, get on my back so she can see higher and just make me happy to be alive was one reason why I wanted her back with her family.
I almost contemplated keeping her as a travel buddy, however, unlike me she already had a family and I was ready to fight every single Grimm killed in my life to get her back home.
Yes, that's how much I felt obligated to that little red hooded girl.
Never say I am not a kind and fair person just because I lived for 23 years in the wilds.
After 4 days we finally got to that small cabin of her's and I took that as my time to leave.
I never got to meet her family or even see them because I did not what to intrude on their reunion, but they were most likely happy that their worries were put to rest as she was safe with them again.
Now you can already guess how surprised I was when Glynda called in the middle of the night about how that same little girl stopped a Dust robbery on her own.
I just dropped my scroll before Glynda could give any more details about what had occurred and got off my bed, to the closet for my clothes.
Now I was already moving to the police station Ruby was in to get her out of the scoring she probably gets from Miss Goodwich, So far my time working with her had I taught very early that she was as stern as a b***h, but a had much calmer side to her when she was not being annoyed the s**t out of.
But in the back of my mind, I can't help but feel that Miss Rose was the girl that Ozpin had asked me to let into Beacon and if she was, why her?
After getting to the station via Bullhead drop of like a badass, I asked Glynda with my scroll if I can see Ruby.
She said yes and I started walking to the interrogation room and boy I can already tell she was already giving Ruby a hard time.
"and a slap on the wrist!" I was nearing the room when I heard the crack of her Riding Crop and the yelp of who I can only assume was Ruby "but there is someone who will like to meet you" there's my cue.
The second I walk in I can tell she was a little nervous, probably because of how tall and intimidating I am.
I stopped midway form the door to the table and looked at her. I must say other than the fact that she grew a little not much change in her appearance since I last meet her.
It was almost like time had not moved since I last saw her.
"I can still see that your silver eyes have not yet lost their joyful glow after all this time" I said to while taking a set in the comparable small chair at the table.
She looked at me in confusion before her eyes widen realization "your the tall man who saved me when I was 7!" she said in joy
I chuckled at her demeanour not much had changed since those days "Indeed I am and I must say that it came as a surprise that you stopped an armed robbery from a notorious wanted man" I held up my scroll that showed security footage of the fight. "may i ask where you learned to fight like this with a fairly large scythe, I have only seen a man named crow fight like that." man that guy was awesome to be around, downside was that he had an alcohol problem.
"OH that's my uncle he work's as a teacher at Signal." she said "I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, and now I'm all like" she started making Kung Fu noises to show how she has gotten better.
I just laughed lightly at her antics while Glynda rolled her eyes but smiled lightly.
"I can tell," I said to her "so what is the reason why your training to be such a good fighter?" I ask her
"Well, I want to be a Huntress." She said
Inside felt something tug inside me but I ignored it "So you want to fight Grimm?" I asked
"Yeah, I only have two more years left at Signal, and then I'm going to apply to Beacon."Ruby said, "You see, my sister's starting this year, and she's trying to Become a Huntress and I'm trying to become a Huntress cause I wanna help people." Hmm I think I remember who her sister is now, must say its a small world " My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, 'hay I might as well make a career out of it!" she chuckled before continuing "I mean the police are aright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really you know!"
"please Ruby breathe already," I said to her after that verbal onslaught
she did as I told her and I thought about what Ozpin said "you will know her when you see her" and I can tell who he means.
Why do you have to do this to me Ozpin you know I'm too kind and cant turn down your request now.
No matter how much I dislike the old Headmaster he can certainly drive hard bargain.
I looked at her and asked, " Do you know what I do now for a living Ruby?"
She looked at me "You're the new Headmaster of Beacon Academy" she then asks me " you never said your name, so what is it"
I smiled at that " Redwood Wall nice to meet you "
ruby smiled " Nice to meet you as well"
I then took on a more serious look " how much do want to go and learn at my School" I just need to be sure this is what she wants and not what Ozpin wants.
She then looked with that same glow in her eye that can recognize as someone who is determined " More than anything" she said truthfully
I took a deep breath and looked at Glynda for her input.
She can probably tell what I was thinking by the way she hmmphed at me and looked away.
"well, you're in luck I have one empty spot left and it's now yours." A so as I finished that sentence her eye widened.
I must say never have I seen someone so happy before.
After getting her out of the police station I got back to Beacon and got her onto the roster for this year's students.
I then walked around campus checking in with the guards.
I still wonder why I took this job, maybe because this is a new Adventure I am now on.
As I was now taking the elevator up I noticed that It seemed to go be able to go underneath the town, but I ignored it as it can be that Important.
I mean what are the chances that Ozpin had secret meeting's of Headmaster's under the tower, actually that doesn't really sound that far-fetched.
I'll check that out later when I have more time.
I then felt the tug from inside again, I can already tell that the First day of the School year is going to be an irritating one for sure.
I before I got to bed I looked at my axe, more specifically the emblem on it.
I sign at the memory it brought, but as always its a past I don't want to unearth.
I place the axe back down and get into bed for the night.
I hope that this year goes smoothly, but like I said 'we can't always have nice things now can we'.
