Todays the day I can now officially consider myself Headmaster.
Now the students how not yet gotten here so let me tell you about what has been changed.
Before I got here there was a modest staff of 30 at the school, now after my changes, there is now 235.
Turns out having a security force, a crew of Pilots while also getting janitors, builders, Chefs, mechanics and whatnot added up pretty fast.
Its good thing I was born with a knack at crafting things from scratch because all the stuff for the security like armour and weapons was not something that would normally be bought with the kind of budget we had so I had to build all that myself.
Okay I'll admit I may or may not have scrounge up some stuff from the Vale military that was retired after the Great War all right, but really it was just Gathering dust in those armouries that the Defense Forces don't really use anyway so I don't think the Council will be that mad that I took them for my staff.
Don't worry I didn't take that much from there, I made most of the stuff for my staff myself.
All I took was some slightly out-of-date Artillery, a few Aircraft, half the ammo stores, lot's of spare parts and some old prototype robot's that did not get to see the light of day.
The robots themselves I reinforced so they can be used for training by the students.
They are now able to pretty much take any kind of beating from a Huntsman and come out intact, don't believe me, well I tested out there durability by basically setting off a bomb with enough Dust kill an adult Goliath in front of it.
Glynda still has not forgiven me for the clean up that had to do afterwards but after digging in the rubble, well its limbs were blown off it but all in all, it was repairable without replacing too much.
Also, I put walls, actual walls around the school, the aesthetic is still there but at the very least nothing is going to get to those large archways.
Again how did I test the walls, by having Professor Port capture a deathstalker so I can have it ram into them to see how long they last.
In hindsight, it sounded like a good idea, but in practice, it wasn't really that smart of me.
But lo and behold Professor Port still did it, and it promptly went towards The City of Vale.
It was up to the Security staff at that point to put it down as most of the Professors where not there at the time, however, the wall held and the security prove themselves competent at their job.
So not only did we get new wall but the guard's got a rase aswell.
At some point, Glynda finally got annoyed at my Antics and decide to talk to me directly.
I was in the newly renovated Library, it was rebuilt because the increase in staff meant more space was needed for them, I was reading some books.
At some point in my reading, I found something that I wish I didn't.
I know I can't keep secrets forever so I'll tell you this, the book was about the expansion into the Northwestern continent and how it prospered until thousands of Grimm came from the scorched lands further north.
The settlements fell one by one until only the native peplos of the land remained as unlike the settlers, they have been living there for hundreds if not thousands of years so had adapted to those periods of Grimm incursion.
I continue to read until I came across a page with the emblem of this lost Kingdom, an Eagle of great size eating a king Taijitu in the middle of a great lake with vultures flying overhead.
I was about to take the book with me as I did not feel comfortable reading it in the library when Glynda interrupted me.
" Glynda,"I told her holding the book behind my back" I'm not in a good mood right now so can this be put off for later?"I asked.
But she was not having and looked sternly at me "NO it can not, I have had enough of your ridiculousness" she said angrily "While your changes have improved things you have endangered many people at the same time with your idea of safety." oh hell I may had crossed a line with her.
I looked at Miss Goodwicth after taking a deep breath to calm my nerves and said "Really so what actions have I done to Warrant such blame" I said just wanting to get this out of the way so I can go read this book in peace.
she then looked at me blankly and said " That time when you used a Dust bomb that can kill a Goliath to test a training bot,"
The scene changes to a warehouse with a bulky Robot with an explosive shell on its back.
I was smiling and said to Glynda after pressing a button "this should tell us how durable it is right Miss Goodwitch."
Glynda looked over at the bot and her eyes widened "Mr Redwood what did you use as the explosive for this test" she said nervously
I thought for a moment and replied "I don't know I just grabbed the largest artillery shell I could find from the stuff I got" I said looking at the timer.
She then told me "then you should know that shell has enough power to kill a Goliath, and may I remind you that we are standing in the blast radius." she said sternly.
I looked at her with a blank expression and looked back at the time to see that we had 15 seconds to run out of harm's way "oh s**t" I had said calmly.
Glynda just facepalmed and we hightailed it out of there before for the bomb would explode.
Back to the present, I said rather sarcastically "well that was in a controlled environment" while rolling my eyes as I said so.
But in truth, I really should pay more attention to what I'm doing more often though.
She then told me "Oh and the time you somehow stole a good amount of government property"
Back in a Warehouse, a group of police officers are looking at a rather large empty space on the fool of a room "I'm not sure who the hell pulled this off," he said smoking a cigarette"but I'm not even mad this is just impressive" the detective said to his colleagues.
One officer just shook his head "I'm not paid enough for this kind of s**t" just so you know, what occupied the empty space was 25 anti-Grimm guns that each weighted 2,210 kg, that's not counting the fact that the thief also made off with half the ammo stores along with most of Armory as well as some prototype Robots supposedly in one night with stole aircraft that could not have possibly held that amount of material
Now back at Beacon, I was smiling sheepishly at that memory " hay I asked permission to do that from the Council" but then mumbled, "at least after I took everything I needed."
Glynde pretended not to hear that and finally said " oh and remember the deathstalker incident" she said her eye now twitching.
We can now see a Deathstalker going on a rampage trying to get out of Beacon and into Vale while the Security force Is pouring ridiculous amounts of firepower into it as to kill the Grimm before it gets out.
One guard jumped out of the way of its stinger as he fires at its eyes"I think we can agree where all going to ask for a raise and," he is interrupted by an artillery shell hitting the ground next to the Grimm as it misses them both "gods Dammit how much does it take to kill this thing!" he shouted in his radio.
In the library I just had a tired look on my face " ok first off, Port was supposed to be watching it and two the guards took care of it and are more content than ever"I just really needed to get out of this conversation as I was getting slightly annoyed.
Glynda then shouted " What about the fact you flew into Vale on top of a Griffin," she was angry, I could tell as there was literally steam coming off her head "in public, without even warning anyone!"
The day was fine, the citizens of Vale were content with their lives, while yes their where the dust robber's as well as rumours of a White Fang cell int eh city, but this day was just too peaceful to worry about that.
"HELL YEAY!" because of loud screeching as well as yelling had broken the silence.
As people looked up they saw something they could not believe.
Everone looked on in confusing or ran off in fear as the new Headmaster was riding on top of a Griffin which I must tell you is a very rare and dangerous Grimm that Redwood was riding like one would a horse.
I tried to respond but no words would come out of my mouth as I had no good excuse for that.
She then got in my face, or as best as she could I was nearly 7 feet tall after all and said: "I have tried getting used to your actions as best I can, but can you just tone down the insanity will you!"
I just pulled my head closer to hers with a more serious look that I normally have" Glynda I know that have been somewhat," I paused to think of the right word "unpredictable in my decisions "
She just pulled her back head shaking it while saying "that is an understatement"
I then said rather loudly " But my decisions have done much more good, evil so can you just trust me!"
We both went into a staring contest for some time, then Glynda closed her eyes and laughed a little "That was something that Ozpin would say," she said "just a lot calmer and less rage." she adds with a small grin.
I just pull my head back up in surprise " Oh really now,"I said, now back to my usual self " do I look like an old and wise wizard to you?" I said jokingly.
We both stopped and thought about what I'd look like as a wizard for a moment before laughed together.
After a while later we stopped and we both looked at each other, happy with the conversation turned out in the end.
It was a nice moment, but we can't have nice things "now Kiss," because someone was inside the library with us.
We both looked to the side to see one of the guard's with his scroll out in his hand on record" oh come on just do it already" he wined.
I and Glynda just both looked at each other blankly and agreed on what we should do with this guy.
Dr Obblec would come in later and find us looking at a book and scroll respectively as well as the guard passed out cold on the floor.
He raised an inquisitive eyebrow and asked: "Oh my what happened to this poor man?"
We both replied with " He slipped" and the good Doctor just took our word for it and put the guard in the medical bay not asking any further questions that might harm him in the long run.
Now that I look back at it all, I must say that ever since I took this job as Headmaster I've had more things happen to me than I usually do.
And you know what, I don't regret one moment of it.
The Students have now arrived at the school and I feel the same tug as form before, the tugging is my gut instinct basically telling me something bad going to happen.
I just sit down in my cair and look at the mob of kids walking to the school while the guards make sure no one tries anything funny on the first day.
Taking a sip of my Hot Cocoa I get the distinct feeling that this year as Headmaster is going to be very interesting.
My mood is then greatly diminished as I hear an explosion from outside.
I take a deep breathe as I can feel my annoyance rasing, I have got to stop jinxing myself.
I then remember that there is still something under the tower I was in, I just groaned and dropped my head on the table and started to walk towards the Auditorium.
