So, the first chapter did really well, garnering around three hundred views before the day was over, along with a few reviews, all of which I am happy to answer, let's go:

Six02: Thanks for the praise. I restarted the fanfic after I got inspired by The Arc House, yet seeing it end before it's time made me sad, so I wanted to do something similar.

WWOW: Thanks for the praise. Yeah, Qrow and Glynda makes more sense than Qrow and Winter, seeing the former are in the same age bracket. Regarding the number of kids, it's still eight, but Winter, Weiss and Whitely are included in it. Willow runs the company according to her grandfather's method, yet is more progressive. Winter is the oldest, being 24 years old, followed by Safron, who is 22. Jaune knows Blake and Adam, albeit one is more closer than the other (won't say who though). Willow is more welcoming and loving than she was in canon. Nora, Ren and Pyrrha are relatively the same. From the ships, Arkos, Boop, Nuts & Dolts and BumbleBY are guaranteed, along with Qrow and Glynda. There are others as well, which will be gradually revealed along the way.

Essiter1987: Thanks for the praise. The group will find struggles both externally and internally which will make them grow as Hunters.

tr35: Agan, thanks for the praise, . Weiss learned that ~Ara ara~ vibe from Winter. Winter and Whitley are going to be more open with their feelings as they aren't going to be under Jacques' control but raised properly by the Arc Patriarch and Willow, as kids. Speaking of the rest of the Arc kids, they are going to be the same, ie Safron will be the same, the rest will have regular personalities. Willow is not just addicted to having a large family (wink wink), she's also addicted to the hot chocolate the Arc Patriarch makes.

WearyCurmudgeon: Jaune and Whitley are close, but Jaune is exceptionally close with Weiss, Safron and Winter.

Well, that's all the reviews, let's get into the show:


(Beacon)

The unassuming pair of Jaune and Blake walked around the campus grounds, taking in the sights before them. For whatever reason, the main building was gleaming in the sunlight before them. Beacon had several other buildings as well, which Jaune assumed to be training areas and a cafeteria.

"At what time would Professor Ozpin would be giving his speech?" Jaune asked the feline friend besides him.

"We have about an hour before the speech starts." Blake replied. She then looked at the building that she assumed to be the cafe, "I hope they serve fish here as well." She said as her amber eyes turned into cat like slits, focusing on the building in question.

"Well, since we have an hour, how about we do a little sightseeing?" Jaune propositioned to the Faunus besides him. Blake nodded at that and the two began to walk towards a random direction.

After a couple of minutes of admiring the architecture around them, Jaune asked, "So, any update on Adam?"

"From what he's told me, he's in the continent of Anima, looking for a group of Grimms that have a chance to breach the walls of a local village." She replied. Adam was always taking these sorts of missions so he could provide for his family.

He had grown up in a relatively poor household, where the parents had to live pay-check by pay-check doing odd jobs. It got to a point that even Adam was considering doing these jobs instead of studying.

It was by luck that his father, Toro Tauros, met the patriarch of the Arc-Schnee family, Dore Arc-Schnee. Listening to his pleas, Dore had given him a job as a guard for one of the farms the Arcs handled. There, the Tauros family were given a better home as he had flexible time. Vaca Tauros, his wife and the mother to Adam Tauros, was finally able to relax which was something she seriously needed a decent amount of rest. She had several health issues and doing the odd jobs had deteriorated it far enough. However, with the clean atmosphere of the farm coupled with the relaxing environment amongst the animals allowed her health to recover.

Adam was also able to avail the Schnee Dust Company Internship and Fundings. He was able to live a better life due to the hard work of the Arc-Schnee Foundation where he was taught of the several job options he had, of which he chose to become a Hunter, opting to go study in Atlas Academy which had a lower tolerance towards Faunus compared to other Academies. He chose that Academy as it was to show life itself that no matter how hard it was and how much it tried to go against him, he'd survive and fight for a better future.

"That's cool." Jaune said, "Once we graduate, we're definitely gonna travel the world." He said, already having had made plans. "It's gonna be awesome, going places, unearthing Remnant's uncharted history, hanging out with friends." He ended, his eyes getting a glossy look as he imagined his future.

Blake snapped her fingers as he was brought back to reality, however, Jaune wasn't looking where he was walking and then he fell, ope there goes gravity. This prompted Blake to laugh "C'mon Jaune, we need to get to the main hall regardless." She said as she brought her laughter in check, "I believe that the seats will be taken a few minutes before the speech starts." She explained as she grabbed his hands and dragged him towards the main hall.

"Alright alright, I'm coming." Jaune said as he tried to regain his balance.


(Beacon Main Hall)

Wandering in, the two were shocked to see such a huge mass of students present. They could barely find any seats present near the stage, but there were a few that were towards the tail end of the hall. "How is it that every good space has been taken?" He asked the feline Faunus besides him.

"Didn't know Beacon was that popular." Blake shrugged.

Jaune gave her a side eye stare as he took in her words, "Blake, you're telling me that you didn't know that BEACON of all places, was one of the most popular Hunting Academies in the world?"

"Hey, I only cared about the status of Menagerie." She replied. It made sense. Her parents were the leaders of the Faunus focused continent. As a result, half of Blake's free time was engulfed in travelling to different parts of Menagerie to see the status. After all, she was destined to inherit the position and raise the continent to unseen heights.

Jaune decided to ignore that for a while and began to look around, noting the vast array of Hunter-Hopefuls. A few stuck out from the crowd, such as the teenager with a brown skin and wearing a white garb similar to those worn by people who had permanent home in the deserts of Vacuo. He also wore what seemed to be a scouter along with some gauntlets that covered his arms and some leg guards. Both of them had holes in them. Perhaps a weapon of sorts.

A couple more people passed them by as he then saw a couple of interesting people. One of them was a male who wore a white karate gi, along with red half gloves. Strangely, no weapons. The next one was a female panda faunus who wore a blue Mistralian gi. Her hair was put in dual buns, along with having two black and white ears that sat atop her head. She seemed to have bracers on her legs, implying a fighting style dependent on kicks.

The fourth person he found relatively interesting was a crazy looking girl. She had her hair kept in a style of two horns, having pink streaks in it as well. She also seemed to be a spider faunus as her mouth had two slit like separations that ran from both sides of her lips to her chin.

Time passed again, as no one seemed interesting enough. "What are those idiots doing?" Blake asked him pointing towards a group of boys who seemed to be laughing and flexing, along with some looking at the girls with a weird look.

"Huh where?" Jaune asked as he looked at the area where Blake was pointing, "Oh, just some dumb dick measuring contest." He said. Blake blanched at that.

She really did not like anyone who partook in this type of activity. There were a couple of guys and girls back home that tried to win her over with their physical prowess, much to the lack of her interest.

"When do you think the speech will start?" She asked, bored out of her mind. She would have preferred to be reading her Ninjas of Love book that she had brought, but they all were kept in her luggage, at the very bottom. Yes she was still a little shy whenever questioned about her choice in literature.

"Hey, is this seat taken?" The two friends heard another voice ask. They turned to see a blond female looking at the space besides the two. "I would have arrived here early, but I was looking for my sister and I lost the track of time." She explained a bit guiltily.

"Uh, sure." He says allowing the girl to sit besides them.

"So, what's your name?" She asked, trying to be friendly towards the two.

Jaune and Blake looked at each other, "Well, ladies first." Jaune teased the cat faunus."

Blake shrugged as she introduced herself, "Blake Belladonna." She simply said.

The blond female then looked at Jaune expectantly, "What, I said ladies first." Jaune said with a smirk on his face.

The blond laughed, "The name's Yang, Yang Xaio-Long, remember that." She said with a chuckle. "Now I believe it's your turn." She added on.

"I am Jaune Miles Arc-Schnee."

"Wait really." Yang said, shocked on seeing a member of the famous house in Beacon.

"No, not really." Jaune teased again. People often were like this.

Yang and Blake laughed at this. Yang knew that he was from the Arc-Schnee family as his armour had the insignia of the family, while Blake laughed at the conversation. "Seriously though, why are you here in Beacon and not in Atlas?" She asked.

Jauen scratched the back of his head, "Well, Beacon is more inviting for a new Hunter-Hopeful and Atlas Academy, while closer to my home, is extremely militaristic in nature. Really dampned my vibe." He said.

Blake nodded. While she really wanted to be with Jaune and Weiss when they went to, however, if it meant going to Atlas Academy, she would have preferred not to as Atlas still had a relatively high levels of Faunus Discrimination, something the Arc-Schnee were working on to reduce.

"Gotcha." Yang said as an old man came onto the stage, along with a woman by his side, someone that Yang recognized. "Hey, it's Aunt Glynda." She told the two.

"How do you know her?" Blake asked as she had no clue about the popular people in Vale.

"Well, my uncle, Qrow, married her and they gave me the cutest little cousin ever. Her names' Sparrow." She said as she showed the two pictures of the young girl. One of those pictures had a young girl with black hair which had red tips holding the new born baby, careful not to drop her. "Her and Ruby are the two I really look out for." She explained, revealing the name of the other girl as well.

Jaune nodded at that, "Yeah I get what you mean." He replied, "I got three sisters and a brother to look out for." He said.

"You got how many siblings?" Yang asked. While the Arc-Schnee were popular, she wasn't that privy to the lives of those famous.

"Well, I have seven siblings." Jaune said, which shook Yang, "I experience the best of both worlds. Though while I can't pamper my younger siblings, I still have my sister who's here as well." He said.

Yang nodded at that, "So what year is she?" She asked.

"We both are still waiting for the initiation to start." Jaune said. "She's my fraternal twin."

"The two of you have the same style of fighting?" Yang asked, wondering if the two were like the twins she encountered at Junior's bar.

"Well, she uses a Rapier while I am more interested in my Crocea Mors." He said as he pointed to the sword that was in the sheath. "I still haven't mastered the full use of my sword."

"And I use my Gamble Shroud." Blake said, "I would have showed it, but it's in my luggage." Pointing towards a cat-themed luggage that was near her.

"Gotcha, I am more prone towards my babies, Ember Celica." She said as she showed the weapons that dangled on her wrist.

Jaune raised an eyebrow at that, "A brawler type?" He questioned.

Most Hunters had weapons that kept them at a safe distance against the Grimm as Grimm usually produced a sort of chemical that caused pain when it made contact with broken skin.
"I guess you can say I like to get up close and personal." She said with a laugh, "My semblance helps me with that."

"How?" Jaune wondered.

Yang would have explained, but they heard a soft cough which gained everyone's attention. It seems as if they were setting up the stage for the last few minutes.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have travelled here today in search of knowledge-to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." The headmaster, Ozpin, said as he promptly left the students to do Oum knows what.

It was after that that Glynda Goodwitch stepped up to the stage and said her piece. "While Headmaster Ozpin has said his part, I will say mine, you all have worked hard enough to reach where you are at this point in time, worked harder than your peers and reach another point in your goal." She started, "So I ask of you to put in the same amount of dedication, the same drive that you all have during your time in Beacon." She then looked at all of the students that were present, "Understand this, not all of you will pass the Initiation, not all of you will be satisfied, but for tonight, you all are welcomed to stay in Beacon. Please follow me to the area where you all shall spend the night." With that said, she left, large mass of students following her.

Jaune raised an eyebrow at Ozpin's part of the opening speech, "Well, he was done quick." He stated, not liking how he said that they all needed direction, but he guessed it to be old people speak.

"Might be performance anxieties." Yang joked, "Old people do have them, I've heard."

This exchange brought out a chuckle from the duo. "I heard that you were looking for your sister, she also got into Beacon?" Blake asked.

Yang nodded excitedly to this, "Heck yeah, she might be younger than most of the students here but she got them skills." Yang started, "A couple days ago she stopped a robbery by Roman Torchwick and she met Ozpin due to that." She proudly exclaimed to the two. She then looked at Blake, "I know Mister Hotshot over here has siblings, what about you kitty cat?" She asked.

"It's Mister Coldshot." Jaune interrupted.

Blake rolled her eyes at this as she smiled, "Sadly, I am an only sibling." She replied. Truth be told, it wasn't because of her parents lack of trying. Sometimes it sucked to be a faunus as her enhanced hearing made it that she could hear everything. Though with her now at Beacon, she expected to hear the good news from her parents any time soon.

"Ah, must suck then?" Yang asked. She had a few friends who were an only child, and most of them had said that while they did enjoy the freedom they got from it, it also meant that they were alone.

"Nah, not really." Blake replied, "I am really good friends with the Arc-Schnee kids, they're sorta like my siblings."

"My sister-from-another-mister-and-mother." Jaune nodded as the two high-fived each other.

"Damn, does that mean the two of you are on the market?" Yang teased.

Blake gave a smirk, "We just might be." She teased her back, which caused Yang to blush, something that Blake took notice of. "What? Can dish it out but not deal it?" She teased.

"Shataap." Yang said as she tried to get her blush under control, "Never had anyone flirt back so openly."

Blake chuckled at the admission. "It seems our bodacious blond here is very sensitive." This prompted Yang to blush even harder as she crouched down.

Jaune rested a hand on Blake's shoulder, "I think she had enough." He said prompting Blake to stop her teasing, something that Yang appreciated.

The Xaio-Long then stood up, blush no longer on her face and pointed at the black earred feline. "I swear this isn't over." She said, "I am going to make you blush even harder than me before we graduate Beacon, I swear."

Jaune left to follow the mass of students that were behind the teacher. He looked back at Blake, "Blake, don't go overboard." He said as he started to leave with his luggage, "Should I take yours as well."

Blake nodded and he left with her luggage as well. She then looked at the still pointing Yang who had a look of fury on her face. She walked over to her, to the point where Yang was leaning a bit back.

"Hey Blakey, you're getting a bit too close here." Yang said as she began to move back as Blake closed in. Blake didn't give a reply as she got even closer, a sensual smirk on her face.

Having never faced such a type of person, Yang really didn't have a reply for her. Soon, a wall was at her back that she was now making contact with it.

Suddenly Blake slammed her hand on the wall right besides her head, trapping Yang. She leaned her head real close, almost touching her face. "You said about making me blush just as hard, didn't you?" She asked with a sort of hungry look in her eyes, "I'd like to see you try, ~Miss Xaio-Long~." Blake said as Yang's face became a shade similar to her sister's cloak. Removing her hand from the wall, Blake leaned in even closer and whispered in her ear, "~I surely am expecting it~." Leaving the poor girl on her own, Blake left her, with a certain sway in her hips.

It took Yang a moment to get out of her flustered state. "Okay what the hell just happened?" She asked no one in particular. "Wait a second, DID I JUST GET FUCKING KABEDONNED?" She shouted. She was the one who did the kabedon, she wasn't the person who get kabedonned. This was certainly a first.

"Hey wait up!" Yang yelled as she collected her luggage and rushed after her new rival.


(With Weiss and Ruby)

"So, how does your brother and your friend look like?" The young Rose asked. The two of them were looking for Weiss' brother and her friend who were also attending Beacon.

"Well, my brother, Jaune, is blonde and has blue eyes." She started, "He also has light armour and has a sword that he keeps in his sheath."

Ruby nodded at that, "Oh yeah, I think I saw someone like that when I was with Yang." Ruby said as she removed a pillow from her luggage. The two had decided to sleep together for the night as Ruby was eager to spend time with her new friend. "I think he wasn't doing to well." She told her.

Weiss nodded, "Yeah, he doesn't too well on air transport." She explained, "He gets air sick. It used to be an issue when we were younger, but now it's considerably better due to the medicine he has been receiving."

Ruby ah'ed at that, "What about your other friend?" She asked.

"Well, she's a black cat faunus." Weiss started, "She has these cute cat ears that are on the top of her head."

Ruby nodded and then paused at that, "Wait, she's a cat faunus?" Weiss nodded at that, "You do realize that I am a dog faunus, what if this drives a wedge between us." She began to worry as tears started to form in her eyes.

She then felt a hand pat her head as she was then pulled into a hug, "Don't worry Ruby." She heard Weiss say, "I won't stop being friends with you. I bet even Blake would be delighted to be friends with you."

Ruby sniffled as she nodded. "Hey Weiss." She heard someone shout out. Turning her head to see the person, it was just as Weiss had described, her brother, Jaune. "Who's this?" He asked.

"Ah, I'm Ruby Rose." She said as she stood up and held out her hand, something which Jaune shook.

"I'm Jaune, Jaune Arc-Schnee." He replied cheerfully, "Wait, Ruby Rose? Do you know Yang?" He asked.

The girl nodded happily, "Yeah, she's my sister." She then looked at Jaune, "Wait, how do you know about her? Did she do something stupid again?" She asked.

"Nope, just ran into her before Ozpin gave his speech." Jaune replied, "She tried to tease Blake, but got teased back." He laughed at that as Ruby was in shock.

If she made friend with them, then Yang wouldn't tease her as much. She then smiled at Jaune, "I believe this is the start of a brand new friendship."


So, chapter 2 done and I am expecting even more reviews for this. I would love for this to go on till completion. So give me reviews and I'll be sure to answer them as well.

Gonna go and Yeet Myself.
