Yo guys Omega here. This chapter is a bit of a gateway to a lot of stuff I have planned, so I hope you enjoy it. The reference in this one is from one of my favorite RWBY fanfics, happy hunting. Also, I hope you like the art for the story, and my profile.
Cyan's eyes opened just as the sun was rising. A side effect of the training he had suffered through for the past seven years. A chill went up Cyan's spine as he rememebered the hellish training. He looked up at his teammates who were still fast asleep. He smiled at the plan that was forming in his head. He got himself dressed, and then stood in front of his team's beds. Cyan charged his aura into his vocal cords, and took in a breath. "WAKE UP!" Cyan yelled, his voice sounding like a megaphone due to the aura-charging. The rest of the reacted in different ways; Feirin fell out of his bed, Iris attached herself to the ceiling, and the weirdest reaction of them all was from nagami, who had no reaction at all.
'How is she still asleep?' Cyan wondered as Iris dislodged herself from the ceiling. Cyan used his semblance to check the pink-haired girls emotions, and let out a small 'oh' of realization. Her annoyed, angered, and exhausted numbers were through the roof. "Nice try, Nagami," Cyan said "but, I know you're awake now."
The pink-haired girl rose with a scowl on her face. "How did you not react at all?" Cyan asked, genuinly curious.
"Let's just say there are ten puncture holes in my mattress now." Nagami responed, still a little groggy from the impromptu wake up call.
"Better question," Iris said "How did you make your voice so loud?"
"It's fairly easy, if you know what to do." Cyan said. "All you have to do is focus your aura into your vocal cords. You put enough power into it and you can make a beowolf's head explode."
'How do you know where to focus your aura?' Feirin asked.
"Well, what I did was I got my voice really hoarse and then I just put my aura where the pain was. You do it enough times and it becomes muscle memory." Cyan said. "Anyway, we have classes in about two hours. So, get yourselves ready. Also, considering the showers, ladies first, and I'll go last since I'm the leader." The rest of his team nodded, and prepared for the day; Iris let Nagami take the first shower.
When they were all ready, Cyan noticed that Iris had gone without her headband, nor had she hidden her tail. When he asked, she said she had planned only to hide them until she got to tell her team first. With the matter settled, the team went off to their first class, but not before eating breakfast at the cafeteria.
The first class for Team CFIN was Grimm Studies. Unlike the rest of the class, Cyan enjoyed Professor Port's stories. Cyan always enjoyed a good story and Port's tales of valor, realistic or not, were no different.
"Now to finish off the class, I would like a volunteer to slay a Creature of Grimm for the class." Port said, gesturing to a barred cage that had been shaking the entire time class had been going on. Cyan's hand immediatly shot up, hoping to simultaneously impress, and freak out some of his peers.
"Cyan, go grab your gear and then we can begin." Port said.
"Nah, I got everything I need right here." Cyan said, pulling one of his knives from his pocket. Cyan jumped from his seat to the floor of the classroom.
"I like your confidence, my boy!" Port said. "Let's see if you can back it up." With that Port took his Blunderbuss axe and broke the lock of the cage. A boarbatusk immediatly ran out of it's cage, and locked onto Cyan.
Cyan immediatly activated his semblance, his hand glowing hot pink as the Grimm charged him. The boarbatusk slowed down as Cyan's semblance took to effect. Evantually, it came to a stop at Cyan's legs. The Grimm then did something no one expected, it started nuzzling Cyan's leg like a cat. The class's collective jaws dropped, even Port who was a huntsman with many years of experience under his belt.
"Good boy!" Cyan said, squatting down to pet the Grimm's head. "Roll over, boy." The boarbatusk obeyed Cyan's command, and rolled onto it's back. Cyan then took his knife and stabbed the Grimm's heart, instantly killing the beast.
Cyan looked up at his classmates and saw the same expression on all their faces, complete and utter shock; even his own team. It was Jackilyn of Team LWCK that finally broke the silence. "The hell was that?!"
"Well, you see my friends and teammates of the classroom." Cyan began, taking a fairly whimsical tone. "My semblance gives me control over anything someone or something feels. So, what I did was increase the Boarbatusk's affection and friendliness. Thus, making it essentially a large puppy dog. Admittedly, this isn't very good in most combat situations. I can only use it on one opponent at a time, and it only lasts about ten minutes. It also drains my aura, if you check your scroll you'll see that mine is half of what it was when I got here." The bell started to ring as Cyan finished his explanation. "You have been a wonderful audience, goodbye."
The rest of the class got over their shock, and started walking towards their next class; some of them muttering showoff as they did. Cyan walked towards his team as they rose from their seats. Professor Port however, called Cyan over before he could get to them. "I'll meet you there guys." Cyan told them, as he walked towards the professor. "What's up Prof?"
"I wanted to congratulate you on your stellar performance today." Cyan thanked the man for his compliment. "I also have your trophy finished." Port pulled a plaque from behind his desk that brandished the claw Cyan had torn from the deathstalker during initiation. The professor handed Cyan the plaque, Cyan's eyes gleaming as he did.
"Sweet, I'll go run back to my dorm and hang this up." Cyan said, taking the plaque into his hands. "Thanks Professor!"
"Your welcome, my dear boy." Port said as Cyan ran off.
Cyan had just managed to take his seat in his next class, before the bell rang. The green-haired man before him, introduced himself to the class as he sipper what he assumed was coffee and not liquid dust.
"My name is Doctor Oobleck, and welcome to history class." The man said, inhumannly fast.
As the class went on Cyan had trouble understanding the fast-talking doctor. Cyan knew he was in trouble when Oobleck started calling on students to answer questions. Luckily, he called on Jasper instead of Cyan, earning a small sigh of relief from the blue-haired boy.
"Jasper, what is the advantage the faunus had on General Legume's forces in the war?" Oobleck asked.
"Well, it's a lot easier to train an animal than it is a soldier." Jasper said. After he made his comment, he was blindsided by a soda can to the head. "Who did that!" Jasper demanded.
Feirin looked towards his leader, who had brought a soda with him when he got to class. Cyan brought his finger to his lips, asking his teammate to be silent on the matter. Feirin nodded, as another student gave the correct answer to the doctor's question.
The rest of class went by without another incident. When the bell rang Oobleck stood before the class and said "And that's lunch. I expect you all to have read pages 50-77 by tomorrow." With that the doctor dashed out of the room, somehow not spilling the drink he held in his hand.
"Let's grab something to eat, shall we?" Cyan said to his team. They all nodded, and followed their leader to the cafeteria. After grabbing some food, Team CFIN decided to sit next to another one of the first-year teams, Team LWCK.
"You mind if we sit here?" Cyan asked the gray-haired leader.
"Not at all." He said, while crunching on what looked like rock candy. "My name's Lucifer Stone, and this is my team Fenrir Wisteria," Lucifer pointed at the purpled-haired boy who was eating manga meat. "Jackilyn C. Frost," He pointed at the whitish-blue haired girl, who was also eating rock candy. "and Kombu Makan." Finally, he pointed at a green-haired boy who was apparently supplying the rock candy.
"Nice to meet you." Cyan said. "These are my teammates Feirin Wald, Iris Nyanza, and Nagami Nadeshiko. I'm the leader, Cyan Matu." Cyan gestured to each of his teammates as he introduced them. "Where'd you get the rock candy?" Cyan asked.
"It's not rock candy," Kombu said. "it's dust." Team CFIN fell out of their seats at the unnaturally calm statement that they were eating nature's wrath. "You see, people with elemental semblances can eat the dust the coincides with their element. Lucifer can control earth, and can eat earth dust. Jackilyn can control ice, and can eat ice dust. My semblance let's me eat and digest anything, so I get to eat the whole lot." Kombu took a bite out of a crystal as a demonstration.
"What about you?" Nagami asked Fenrir, who was half-way through his meal.
Fenrir swallowed what he was chewing and answered Nagami's question. "My semblance gives me the qualities of a wolf. So, I'm essentially a faunus with double the abilities, but without the ears or tail."
With the introductions over the group of eight continued their meal. Kombu got Iris to eat some lightning dust, after she said what her semblance was. She remarked that it was like sour candy, zapping the mouth while still tasting good. Everything was going fine, until Cyan's jackass sense started tingling. Cyan looked over at one of the other tables, and saw Team JAKS throwing mashed potatoes in the tail of a red-haired wolf faunus, laughing their asses off as they did it. Cyan's rage immediatly spiked at the act of douchebaggery, Feirin saw this and offered his leader his soda can. Cyan saw this and smiled. "Thanks Feirin, but I think I'm going to take a more assertive approach this time."
Cyan drew two of his knives from his pocket. "HEY DICKHEAD!" Cyan yelled, throwing one of the white knives. Jasper turned towards the voice, and was struck right between the eyes. It was aura-shielded so it didn't do any damage, but it still hurt like hell. Cyan walked over to the boy as he recovered from the blow.
"What is your problem?" Jasper asked, more than a little pissed.
"My problem is that you're being an absolute jackass to someone who doesn't even deserve it." Cyan yelled in anger, gesturing to the faunus girl who was trying to clean he tail.
"Her?" Jasper questioned. "You do realize bestiality's illegal, right?"
"Shut it, you racist prick." Cyan said.
"Oh, well what are you going to do about it, pipsqueek?" Jasper challenged.
Cyan's answer was a knife to the balls, which again, Jasper's aura shieled. Jasper doubled over at the blow to his jewels, the entire cafeteria cringing at where the blow had landed. Jasper's team went to attack the blue-haired boy, but Cyan put his hand up as a sign to stop. "Now, instead of dragging this out here, where we can all get expelled. How about I fight you and your team of jackasses in Goodwitch's class after lunch. If I win you guy's stop being dick's to people. You guy's win, and you can chose your prize, within reason." Team JAKS accepted the challenge, dragging their wounded leader behing them as they said Cyan was a dead man.
Cyan started to calm down as Jasper was taken away. He walked over to the faunus girl who had finished getting the food out of her tail. "You okay?" Cyan asked.
"Yes, thank you for helping me." the girl said.
"No problem, always a pleasure to teach a bully who's boss. Anyway, I'm Cyan, what's your name?"
"Lupa," the red-haired girl said. "Lupa Crimson."
"Well Lupa, would you like to join me and my friends at our table?" Cyan offered.
"I would love to!" Lupa smiled.
"Great!" Cyan said. Cyan walked back to his table with Lupa in tow. "Lupa this is Feirin, Iris, Nagami, Lucifer, Fenrir, Jackilyn, and Kombu. Everyone this is Lupa." They all exchanged pleasantries with the new arrival.
'So, we're going to have to fight Team JAKS?' Feirin asked.
"No, I am." Cyan said. "I have no problem asking for help, but I personally want to teach them a lesson."
'Alright, you're the boss, Cy.' Feirin wrote.
"Why isn't he talking?" Lupa asked.
Feirin went back to the page in his notebook that explained his situation. Lupa oh'ed and went back to chatting with the others.
"Anyway, good luck Cyan. You're going to need it." Lucifer said.
"Thanks." Cyan said, mentally preparing for his coming battle.
OK, that was chapter 6. As usual I hope you enjoyed it, and I will see you next time.
