Vale Police Office. 10:03 PM.
Glynda Goodwitch was sitting in the interrogation room of the station, reviewing a video captured by the security cameras during a recent robbery. She was currently searching for clues, just so she could find out more information about the strange man she just interrogated moments ago. After a couple of minutes of watching the video again she gave up, sighed, and left the room, just to be intercepted when she closed the door.
"Anything at all?" the grey-haired man asked. He closed his eyes and adjusted his glasses with his left hand, while carrying a white mug filled with coffee in his right. The man's name was Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon Academy.
"Nothing. And to make matters worse, there's no records of any person named Hazama, in any kingdom at all. This doesn't make any sense," muttered the blonde woman. In truth, she was frustrated and, admittedly, a little worried.
"Don't lose patience, Glynda. Sooner or later we will find something. But it is really weird indeed," Ozpin nodded, wondering what this could mean. It wasn't normal, given how everyone has a place in their own systems: schools, academies, jobs, or anything really.
Glynda was quiet, and thought 'Is he using an alias? Maybe he comes from a village outside of the kingdoms. He could just be another strange civilian, but… That strange aura of him… I can't stop thinking of that man as a severe threat.'
"Ozpin, do you think it's wise to just let him go without any vigilance?"
"I already took care of that matter. For now, we just have to wait and get it out of our heads and make the preparations to give the newcomers a warm welcome at the academy, don't you think?" he said with a little smile on his face.
"Hmm… I think you're right. We still have our hands full." Letting out a tired sigh, Glynda accompanied Ozpin to the academy, but without forgetting the sensation Hazama left within her. She was unsure of his intentions, but both Ozpin and her knew there's something wrong with that strange man.
A couple of people were walking down the halls of the station to the exit, chatting as they did.
"So, what were you doing back there sir?" asked the little reaper to the tall suited man.
"Me? Nothing really. I just saw a bunch of 'I'm really rude' guys going around the streets and decided to follow them. Then they started their, ehem, awful actions. At that point on I just stood there watching without knowing what to do," he answered, ashamed.
"But weren't you afraid of those guys at all? I mean, you don't really look well-armed."
"It's because I'm not. Unfortunately, I'm not really fond of pick up battles, or else I'm going to break too easily. But I'm sure lucky, since you were there… And by the way, weren't you afraid of them too?"
"Not really. They looked tough, but in the end they were no problem. And I told you it's no big deal. A future huntress' duty is to protect the people who need help, after all," Ruby said with her hands on her hips and a proud expression, happy for the notice Ozpin just gave her a few minutes ago.
"Oh? You sound very cheerful about something."
"Weeell, it's just that I received great news for my future as a huntress! I'll be learning in the same academy alongside my sister!" Ruby said, jumping a bit in happiness.
"Huntress? Sounds like something too dangerous for young ones like you."
"It's not really. Especially when you're trained by the coolest uncle of the whole world."
"Uncle? You mean this is a family thing?" he asked, somewhat interested on the hunters thing.
"Yep. He's like, a super cool hunter, and spent his time training me, and helping me with my little baby here," she cooed, deploying her large scythe before hugging it with affection.
At that point, both found themselves at the exit, and went out to the streets.
"Heh, a really particular child you are. When the time comes I'm going to repay you for your help, but for now I need to go and rest. Don't want anything bad happening to me now, would we?"
"You're right in that. My sister's going to kill me for getting home so late," said the girl, transforming her scythe back into its compact form. Ruby began waving her hand at Hazama as they parted ways, grinning widely.
"Weird guy, but a nice guy too. Yang is going to be sooo happy when she hears that I'm able to go to Beacon with her!" Ruby was beyond happy, as she started wondering how the academy would look like, or how the people there would be, or more importantly, the incredible weapons they're going to use! She was anxious, and maybe a little tired too.
"But I wonder who that guy was…"
'And to think today I'm going to pass the night in the open. This is a really low blow for my usual living style. A man with so high standards, forced to see his clothing messing up just for the lack of budget. Relius' pocket is going to feel the wrath of my laundry,' Hazama thought, venturing out in the forests at the edge of the city while looking for a good spot that lacked the bugs or mud that grossed him out so much.
Outsides of vale, 10:30 PM.
A tall man with long dark blue hair and a goatee of the same color pressed his back against a tree with what little consciousness he had when he woke up some hours ago, confused at what had just happened.
As he started to gain consciousness again he began to hear some strange noises that were similar to an animal, but, different... As he opened his eyes he saw a group of black animal shaped beings that resembled wolves and bears, with white bone-like armor with red markings. The creatures, also known simply as Grimm, proceeded to move closer toward Azrael, snarling and growling as they did.
He stood up, and felt the murderous intentions coming from the beasts. In instinct, he began dodging the attack of one of the wolf-like creatures, which were called Beowolves, before it attempted to pounce him.
The moment the beast left the ground, it was crushed by a fierce punch from Azrael, sending it into the air before being blown away by Azrael's shoulder with tremendous force. When the Beowolf crashed to the ground, or what was left of it, the creature started to fade. The rest of the creatures began to take their positions, as if they're preparing to attack together with coordination.
Azrael was still clueless to what's happening, or where he was, or what those things are, given that they definitely aren't seithr poisoned animals. What he does know is that he had an entire gym session, and his dummies were ready to do their jobs.
"Come on you monsters. Come at me and try to take me down with all you got!" Azrael shouted, challenging the creatures as they started running toward him.
The first that made contact with him were the Beowolves, with three of them jumping with fangs prepared and claws at front, but when they came close to him he simply crushed the living hell out of them with a well-placed axe kick.
Taking advantage of his position, four more Beowolves charged in, but two of them where totally squashed with a hammer kick, and the remaining two felt the force of his punches, one for each head.
"Pff, these things are nothing. Whatever, the bears are next," he said, thundering his fingers as he approach the five Ursai. The entire group changes their positions, and started to go one behind another in an attempt to attack him as soon as the front Ursa start an attack.
But ultimately this was futile; everytime an Ursa charged, they were immediately smashed to bits.
"Tiger! Cobra! Leopard!"
When only two Ursai remained they immediately ran off, but didn't expect Azrael to lunge at them. With a fierce punch that sent two of the Ursai to the ground, Azrael jumps high in the air crushes their bodies with all of his weight.
The enemy storm seemed to be over, but one last foe was in the shadows, waiting for a time of break to slide in and outmatch his prey with speed and sheer force of constriction. Azrael was just waiting for his new opponent to appear, and was eager to let it do the first move. Then, from within the shadows, a giant snake attacked him, coiling around him in an instant.
Big mistake.
Azrael just nodded with notable disappointment, before looking at the giant snake's eyes directly. "This is the best you can do? Boring." In that moment, red aura began to surround Azrael, and the snake made a mistake by releasing its prey. Azrael's only response was a high jump toward the snake's head, followed by a red-charged kick in the head. The kick was so powerful that it managed to snap the snake's neck.
He lands on the ground safely after that, sighing. Without warning another snake, this time white in color, came rushing out from the shadows to ambush Azrael. However, he simply blew the snake's head off with a single punch, not even bothered to look at it.
"Kokonoe, wherever you are, I'm going to make you pay, and then I'll finally take your head, along with Kagura and the Grim Reaper's as my trophies."
He stood up and slowly made his way under a nearby tree, making himself comfortable. For now, he would rest until morning, and then start his own search for answers.
9th Hierarchical City of Akitsu-Kō.11:05 PM.
Relius Clover was about to leave his lab, as he was prepared to finally end the day. He started putting all his equipment in order, and then made his way to his room. But Ignis, his robotic assistant, and also watcher of the facility, appeared in front of him, warning him about a nearby presence. Ignis appeared quiet, but she was actually giving Relius crucial information of this new visitor.
"It's that so? Well… He really is an interesting creature." He chuckled, thinking about his new visitor, and what situation could make this special person takes the time and effort to personally visit him.
Relius ordered Ignis to teleport and bring him this special visitor. She obeyed, and after 10 seconds she reappeared again in the room, carrying in her hand a man with a yellow hooded cape and green hair.
"Hello pal. Can you tell your little can opener to put me down already?"
Aaaaaand done. I should really stop writting this so late at night. Did you enjoy the read? Is there something you're waiting to happen? Comment it then, readers!
