Sorry for my bad english.
Master and apprentice were walking when a man wearing a white crusader armor appear in front of then.
-Finally we meet Dark Knight, i've been waiting a long time for this moment.
-And who are you?
-You don't know me? The white crusader?
Ceodore pull the piece of cloth on his master armor to call his attention.
-Master, this man is Robert, the white crusader, he is a famous huntsmen.
-He could be the queen of Atlas that i don't give a damn.
The crusader pull his sword.
-But you should, i am the man who gonna kill you.
-Fine by me, Ceodore, pay attention, this man gonna show you what not to do in a fight. -He drew his own sword.
-You gonna pay for undestimate me!
History class
-This is the prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly know as The Faunus War. Humakind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing faunus population in Menagerie. -The history class was one of most interesting to watch, Dr Bartholomew Oobleck... what the kind a name is Oobleck? Anyway, every student have their heads following the full of caffeine doctor running around on the classroom. -Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative remember that these are relatively recent events! Why the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Now, have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your faunus heritage? -Some faunus on the classroom raised the hands, including a adorable bunny faunus. -Dreadful, simple dreadful! Remember students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! -He stop to sip his coffee and keep with the lecture. -I mean, i mean, i mean look at just happened to the White Fang! Now, wich one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year war? -Asked the doctor waiting for the students who was willing to answer, Weiss raised her hand. -Yes?
-The Battle at Fort Castle.
-Precisely! And who can tell me the advantage the faunus had over General Lagune's forces! Anyone, anyone? -The doctor wait to any student to answer his question, seeing that no one would try answer he decide to pick one, his eyes scanned the room, his eyes spotted on Ceodore, it was time to see if he learn something on his journey with the Dark Knight. -Mr. Ceodore. -The doctor appear from nothing in front of him. -Mind if give us a answer?
Remembering from the fights what his master, Ceodore remember when he confront a faunus in the middle of the night, the faunus knew where his master was, even in the darkness, he come with the most probable explanation he find.
-The smell of the soldiers?
-Close but no, anyone else? -His eyes darted on the student above him. -Mr. Winchester, maybe you can answer.
-Well, i know that you can't train a animal like a soldi...
Snore... Snore... Snore...
Looking to the right, the doctor find one of his students sleeping, with a bubble on her nose. He left Cardin and go to the girl.
-Ms. Unicorn!
*BOOM*
-What?
-Maybe YOU can give us the answer of the question.
-What was the question again?
He sighed, the member of team STRK(Strike) was always like that, maybe use her as a example show to his students to take serious his class.
-What the advantage the faunus had over General Lagune's forces?
-Night vision.
Now the blow on her face, cortesy of the doctor.
-If you have paid more attention on my lec... -Wait, she answer correctly. -I mean... correctly miss Unicorn. -He said with a sour tone but remebered something. -Before i forget, both Mr. Ceodore and Winchester will see me after class to additional readings.
Ceodore groaned, but Cardin...
-What!? Want me be alone with this monster?
No one student argue with what Cardin said, Pyrrha look at him with a immense wish to throw at him her spear, the worst, Ren and Nora seemed to ignore him, like half of the class.
-Silence Mr. Winchester!
-But you cannot...
-I say SILENCE!
-Chicken. -Spoke Unicorn.
-You call me what!?
-Are you deaf?
Cardin get up from his chair but was stoped.
-Enough! I want everyone to know that i don't tolerate disobedience in my classroom! -He stare to Unicorn. -And you can stay after class too ms. Unicorn. I made myself CLEAR!?
-Yeah, yeah.
This girl was always like that.
-Moving on.
After the scolding on him and Cardin, Ceodore left the classroom, for some reason the dr. Oobleck wish to speak to Unicorn alone, on the corridor was Pyrrha waiting on the wall.
-What happened?
-I have to do a redaction for tomorrow or i will be in trouble.
-Want to go to the library? I will help you, if you wish.
-Would be good, thank you, i kinda suck in this class.
They start to walk to the libraly when Pyrrha remember what Cardin say, Ceodore seemed unaffected, but she decide to ask anyway.
-Ceodore, you are fine with this?
-With what?
-What Cardin calling you and...
-Pyrrha is fine, is not the first time and of course not will be the last. Besides, i've already been called of worst things.
She didn't understand why he always acted like that to the others acts, maybe he got used, but is sad, she was confused, she should do something? Keeping with Ceodore's way? She didn't know how Ceodore would act if she did something but she cannot let everything keeping in that way. Maybe if she talk with one of the teacher would help; Dr. Oobleck can't stand discrimination so he is a good option. She gonna talk to him tomorrow, is better for now she help Ceodore with the redaction.
Lie Ren was aways a calm man, but be in the same team of the apprentice of the Dark Knight really messed with him, the main problem is not Ceodore, but his master, the man who slain both human and grimms without any remorse. When come to the public that he have a apprentice, the world went crazy for tweent four hours. Just to think on the day when the Dark Knight start his rampage against Remnant, the world have five kingdoms instead of four, how come just a single man take down a entirely kingdom? But Ren's reasons are more personal than this, such as Nora.
Nora for other hand was trying her best to not be affected for the situation, the so called son of the demon was her leader, even her wouldn't not admit loudly, but Ceodore didn't seemed that bad, but he still is the apprentice of the moster, the legacy of the darkness, the follower of the death, the diciple of... This mind take a while so let jump this part.
So she would not let her guard down when close to him, she would even face the Dark Knight himself to protect her best friend. Why she need keep her guard closed when with Ceodore was around, you ask?
In the deepes of Remnant was found a dark energy only know as Miasma.
It was discovered in the times of the war, due the effects, the soldiers thought the could be used to replace dust in the war, but the risks was too high, even in the name of the victory. The miasma have some bad effect on the user like making them more aggressive, making scales grow on the skin and some user die after a long time exposed. If the rumors are right and Ceodore have miasma inside of him, this make him dangerous to everyone around him, even his teammates.
All miasma's user can infect some living being if they wish, Ceodore was the apprentice of the most mercyless and brutal man what already existed and he was the only thing the Dark Knight have infected with miasma, half of Remnant deduced he was planing something and involved Ceodore, somehow.
But since their first day on the academy, Ceodore do nothing wrong, but this didn't stop Ren's suspisious about him, the history of his master was alike his own right now. A man what start like a simple knight become a heartless monster. Now a simple huntsmen in training could become the next demon of Renmant? Ren like everyone else wasn't willing to take a risk, but Ren was especially motivated by his personal matters.
Nora could see this, she was very worried with her friend, she could see how Ceodore was affecting him and the discuss with Pyrrha about him must let everything more harder to them. She was really excited to meet her teammates and new friends, make a "team things" and go together in a lot of adventures, killing grimms and eating pancakes, but sadly it wasn't like that.
Cafeteria
Yang face was one of if you give a look, you would have a nightmare for the all night. She have been like that since her defeat on the Ceodore's hands in the combat class and Ruby didn't know how light her mood, but she wasn't the only one competitive on the table. Weiss was on the pick of the biggest headache of Remnant, she always study hard to keep her grades on the top.
Again, on the top. Always was on the top of the class, but not in Beacon, her position was take from her by the person what no one expected, before you aks, is not Ceodore, was the girl who aways was with headphones or sleeping on the classes.
Tamarí Unicorn.
How this girl have the best grades was a mistery to Weiss, she just keeping sleeping and hearing music during the classes, not to mention her disrespect with the teachers.
The worst part, they knew each other before Beacon, history to another fic. For now, she keeping staring to the sleeping girl on the other side of the cafeteria and Yang was playing with her potato puree, hey look, she make Ceodore's face.
*SPLAT*
Just to her smash with her fist, needless to say, Ruby and Blake were disconfortable with the situation.
-So... -Ruby start. -Someone have a theory of what could be mr. Minuano weapon?
I was the only topic on her head, she hopped was enough to get her sister and partner from this mood. Both Yang and Weiss look at her and start wondering. She sighed in relief, looks like its worked. Yang spoke.
-I don't know, maybe something with his cane?
-I hear the he is very proficient in kenjutsu. -Said Weiss. -Is oblivious that he use his cane as a sword.
Ruby's joy deflated a little, she expected some cool weapon instead of just a cane, but Yang spoke.
-We don't know that yet, maybe his cane transform in a blade.
-Or have a blade inside. -Said Blake.
Their talk was interrupt when the subject of their conversation come from the front door of the cafeteria, Fernando was walking, hitting his cane on the floor and smiling, he stopped in front of team RWBY table.
-I'm detecting a bad mood around this table, everything is okay?
-We are fine professor. -Said Blake.
-Really? I can feel someone a little angered, other livid and a little one disappointed. -This guy is good. -C,mon, you can tell me what is bothering you.
-We are fine professor, really. -Spoke Ruby. -We are just having a hard day.
-Okay then, just remember, when need someone to talk, the door of my office is always open.
-We gonna sir, thanks.
Without any more word, Fernando walk away, Yang and Blake looked at him before he leave the cafeteria, thinking about if they have a problem could talk to him. Weiss was still a little displeased with the girl snoring in the other side of the cafeteferia and Ruby was looking to her sister, this did not go unnoticed by Yang.
-What, there something on my face?
-Yang, i think you should go talk to him.
-What? Why?
-You are a nervous wreck since you lost to Ceodore. -That was Blake.
-Guys, i'm fine, mr. Minuano is cool and all, but i don't need any nice speech.
-So you prefer smash copies of Ceodore's face made of potato puree than talk about how you are pissed because your lost? -Asked Weiss.
Yang growled and stormed off. Blake turned to Ruby.
-She gonna be okay?
-I hope so.
They decide let Yang take a time, unaware of someone hear about what the professor spoke about someone to talk.
-So, what is the name of the captain who led the army against the faunus in the farms of Mistral?
-Uuuhh, captain Maround?
-No, he was in Vacuo, Mistral was the captain Bolt.
Ceodore Groaned.
Past
Little town on Atlas
-Do you think your father gonna defeat the Dark Knight?
-Of course he will. He is the strongest man of all world, a man in a black armor is nothing to him.
The young boy was telling to his friends that his father was going to fight with the Dark Knight, his father was a very popular huntsmen in his town, he was pround to be his son, he believed his father was invencible so a old man in a black armor was no match for him. He could already see, a big parade to celebrate his victory, he in his father's shoulder, both waving to the audience, his father not would be only popular but a legend, the most important people of the world would come to congratulate him personally, everything would be perfect.
The boy notice his mother coming, probably to tell him what his father already come back, when he see her face, she was full of tears, when was going to ask what is wrong, he notice the white helm of his father on her hands.
All of his dreams were crushing at this moment.
End of te (edited)chapter. Not too much on this chapter. I will explain more about the miasma in the future chapters. Until next time.
