He put the best smile he have on his face, make a manly posture and walk to the girl with his pick up line ready.

-Hey, are you feeling okay?

-Uhh, yes. Why are you asking?

-With so many guys pestering you with so man stupid pick up lines, must be hard be patient.

-But... no guy talk to me all day.

-Since when all mans of this village are blind? They must be for not noticing so much beauty.

The girl blushed. Ceodore just smiled to her.

-I... uh... i mean... thanks.

-Don't need to thank me. I just speak the truth. -She blushed more. -My name is Ceodore.

-You... are Ceodore?

-Of course. -He said in a sad tone. -Another beautiful girl will give me the back because of my fame.

-N-no! Is not that! -She said a little sorry for make him feel like that. -It just... when people talk about you...

-They talk about a big scary guy, right?

-Yes. But you... seems to be so gentle. You are not...

-No, i'm not playing the "good guy" and i can prove. If you accompany me to a lunch.

He extended his hand to the girl who was doubting if should. In the end, she hold his hand, accepting the invitation and walk with Ceodore. The apprentice look behind and give a rise thump to his master before leave with the girl. Miles who see everything, just shrugged and start to walk back to his house.

-You really should tell to us that Blake is a... you know?

-You are my friend, right? I trust you. And you too Pyrrha.

Both Ceodore and Pyrrha smiled for receive the trust of someone that both of them can call a real friend after so long. Being a celebrity, Pyrrha was put above of everyone by everyone around her, always treating her like some kind goddess or something like that. Thinking that she was too perfect for feel like talk with normal people. She feel so lonely before come to Beacon. Ceodore on the other hand, have his problems because of his master, who is the most feared man in Remnant. Be his apprentice make everyone take distance of him, fearing not only the miasma on his body, but also fear from himself. No to mention the fear from his master. He didn't have a real friend that not was his master since he was a child.

Then both come to Beacon. Pyrrha meet Ceodore, who meet Ruby, who is Weiss partner, who also said be his friend, she also is Pyrrha's friend. Ceodore also have Nora as a friend. But he still have problems with Ruby's sister and one of his teammates. Speaking of wich, his vision caught the one that he and Pyrrha were looking for before the break for the lunch.

-Pyrrha.

He called his partner who also caught Ren walking on the other side of the cafeteria.

-Sorry Ruby. We have to deal with the problem of our own team. See you later.

-Bye Ruby.

-Bye Ceodore. Bye Pyrrha.

Ceodore don't waste time bypassing the tables. He jump one by one until land in front of his teammate.

-Stop right there!

-Ceodore?

-Do you have any idea how Nora is worried about you?

-What?

-You just dissapear without say anything and now, Nora is walking on the walls because how worried she is about you!

-You done?

Ceodore think a little before answer.

-Yes.

-Good. Now, excuse me.

Ren walk through Ceodore, but he put himself in fron of him. Normally, Ceodore would let Ren deal with his problem alone. But this time was not only him the problem, but he was worring Nora with the way he is been acting.

-So is like that? You just gonna walk away after what i told to you?

-What do you want?

-Honestly, nothing. But you are thinking on your best friend while walking around alone like some kinda lone wolf?

-I just need to think in a thing or two.

-So why you didn't tell to Nora? I think even her know when someone need to be alone.

-She didn't need to worry about me.

-But she is. Whatever is affecting you, is make her worry.

-Do you even know what is wrong with me?

-How come i will know? You never talk to me.

-And the reason is the demon of your master.

-And what this have to do with me?

-I don't expect to you understand.

-Can you at least try talk to me about whatever is wrong with you?

-Oh, now you want to know?

-Ren, i keep my nose out of your business since we become teammates, but when your actions start to affect your partner and you not see that, i have to do something.

-Here something that you can do. Leave me alone.

He pushed Ceodore away and leave the cafeteria.

-At least talk to Nora!

Ceodore shouted to his teammate before he passed by the doors. Pyrrha come closer to her leader, putting a hand on his shoulder, trying to comforting him. The situation between them keep getting worst everytime that someone want to talk about his miasma or his master. Ceodore hold Pyrrha's hand, accepting the comfort of his partner.

Ozpin office

-Are you sure about that Glynda?

-Everything that Ceodore told me about his father match. Blonde hair and beard, orange colored eyes, a knight, his personality, five daughters and he lived in Twilight, where was found his dead body. Must be him Ozpin. -The machineries on Ozpin's mind started to work while Glynda keep talking. -Ceodore also talk about a weaponsmith and have only one of them that he trusted to fix his sword.

-Who also was found dead in Twilight. Also, Ceodore was blonde before have the miasma infused on his body.

-Infused?

-I think is better call like that from the way he obtained his dark powers.

-Right. -She pushed her glasses before continue. -The age of Ceodore also match of his son, what the body was never found. -The man in question have six childs, only one boy. -One more thing. -Her face sadened. -Nobody know exactly what happened to the village, but was found some dry trees around the houses.

-You mean...

-Miasma.

-Lets not jump in conclusions Glynda. We know what miasma can do to humans... and grimms.

-The report said that the village was destroyed in a grimm attack. But after what Ceodore told to us, do you still have any doubt?

-You already jump in a conclusion when heard about ms. Nikos. You gonna do that again? -She went silent. Feeling again the guilty from doubt of Ceodore. -One more thing, he... give the description of his master?

-Yes sir. He wear a black crusader armor, the armor below a fabric, a big dark blue hood cape with a X stamped, all armor black colored, when he is not using his hood, he use a crusader helmet with a cross in the middle. His face have three scars. One on the nose, one pass through the left eye and the last on his mouth. He have a gray hair with a little beard and white eyes.

-White?

-Is what Ceodore told me.

Library

After the little talk with his teammate, Ceodore wanted some time alone, so he told to Pyrrha that and give to her his good bye. He decide to go to the library. The place was a little empty, no much students around. He wonder if is because of his master. He start to search any book to read, anything to leave the reality that he is living, the worst? It's all happening as his master said it would happen. But this don't discourage him to try be a huntsmen, he was determined in his decision, he walk to Vale, meet one of professors, defend himself from Goodwitch, talk to the headmaster, become a student, the leader of team CNVL and handle all the eyes and discrimination against him.

He not gonna give up from be a huntsmen so easily, no matter what he gonna face.

When he finally found a book to read, another hand tried get the book and Ceodore grab the hand instead. The hand was soft, he couldn't denied that. He look to the owner of the hand and his eyes wide open. It was a girl, her uniform was black, she come from another academy, but Ceodore was paying attention on her face. She have a pale skin what could shine with a little amount of light, giving to her a mysterious aura. Her black hair was covering half of her face, seemed soft like a masterpiece of fabric. The only eye exposed have a yellowish-orange color, what seemed like a fiery fire burning. This girl is far from only be gorgeous.

-Could you let go of my hand?

-Oh, i'm sorry. I was lost in thoughts.

-It's okay. But is a interesting choice to a book.

The book have a little information about the kingdom of Arcadia, Thanatos and a little about miasma. The title was "A demon among us."

-You say that when you was about to read too?

-There is a topic that i'm fair curious about it. But i may found a better way to found out. You are Ceodore, right?

-Yes and i give to you my good bye before you run away from me.

-And why i would do that?

If Ceodore was surprise, he wasn't able to hid his shocked face. He look at the girl like she was some kind of illusion or something like that.

-To be honest, after the past days, i'm surprised that nobody tried kill me.

-Is because of the rumors that are going around?

-What more could be? -She giggled, but sounded mature. -You still not give to me the pleasure of know your name.

-Hmm. Charming huh? Cinder Fall.

She raise her arm to a hand shake. Ceodore take it, but instead to shake, he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand.

-A pleasure to meet you.

-*giggle*Oh, you don't waste time, right? Mr. Knight.

-Can't blame a guy for try.

-Now that you are such getleman, could you help a lady with something?

-Sure. What do you need?

-This might sound strange, but... i need you to tell me something or two... about miasma.

He become silent for a second, not expecting someone to ask this favor to him. After find the words to talk, he asked.

-Can i ask why do you need these kind of information?

-I'm studing miasma from the books make a long time. I think that is a interesting subject.

-Not enough to risk your life.

-Relax. I only get information from the books. But maybe if i go deeper on the studies, i can find some kind of cure or even know how avoid be infected.

-I apologize. But that is not exactly a subject that i am a specialist. Even if i am what i am.

-It's okay. But you don't mind if i get the book, right?

-You can have the book, but will have to get me too.

-You know how to negotiate mr. Knight.

-And your answer?

-Yes. Please come with me.

He accompained Cinder to the closest table, again without realise someone looking at him from away. This time a redhead girl. Seriously, he need pay more attention to his surroundings. This time because the redhead was grabbing a book with too much force.

Ozpin office

Ironwood give to Ozpin the description of the man who destroyed the Paladins. He was wearing a black armor, but not a crusader armor, is more like medieval knight. His cape was black with no simbol stamped. His weapon was a big halberd and used dust on his attacks. He was bald and have only goatee on his chin.

-So?

-James. This man is not Miles Thanatos.

-What?! Are you sure?

-Glynda asked to Ceodore and i don't think he would lie to her.

-So this mean that have someone else in the Remnant what know how to use miasma.

-Not know James, only that can use. It seems that man don't have control.

-Why did you say that?

-The desctruction he caused in the little part of the forest he fought against your Paladins. If he wanted just destroy everything around, he wouldn't lost his time coming to Vale.

-But this still don't answer why this man is coming to Vale.

-We gonna get our defenses ready. Now excuse me. The Dance gonna happen in a feel days and i have to select a team to prepare everything.

-You still are think on have fun with the situation we are?

-After i give the notice that is not Miles coming to Vale, my students will need some good time to forget the rumors about him.

Besides that, if everything go wrong and this man who use miasma be able to come to Vale, he afraid that some of his students don't will have too much time of life. With a miasma user, the chances of this happen are almost one hundred. So a good time before a terrible death sounds good. He only hope that what he is planing works.

End of the chapter. The miasma user what is coming to Vale is not Miles and Goodwitch seems to have discovered who Ceodore is. What these two informations gonna do with him? Next time, more fights. Until next time.
