(A/N) Thank you kalakauai for giving me the Team name (Raijin) RJNN it has a deep connection to the strength of Ragna, Jin, Noel, and Makoto and the impact they have on the games they are from.
Also as for the Team of Bang, Bullet, Tao kaka, and Amane the initials are there for the name blast. But if I do it the traditional way it would be BLAT or BBAT and it wouldn't have look right. So since the letters are in the names I had to make a light and creative change for the team name so it is spelled BLST.
Chapter 6 The role of a leader
(Beacon Cliffs)
Professor Ozpin had gotten finished watching the initiation of the batch of first year students who will be attending Beacon this year. While there are some students who needs to improve their skills in certain aspects overall he was impressed with what he has seen so far. While he is glad that the students were able to work well together. He knows all too well that it is only the beginning and many things can change over time. Even the strengths of a Team.
"Ozpin do you have an idea of who will be leaders of the newly formed Teams?" Professor Goodwitch has asked the headmaster
"I will need some time to think on who will be best suited for the position of Team leader Glynda. Some of the Teams I already know who will become leader but for others I need to give it more careful thought. The Team that Mr. Winchester is a part of was easy because while he has a flawed mindset he does rely on force and it is what his Teammates are likely to follow. Deciding on the role of leader for Ms. Rose's Team was slightly more difficult but easier after seeing how they dealt with the Nevermore. As for the Team that young Ragna is a part of will be the bigger challenge. From what we've seen so far the position of leader can go to either Ragna or Mr. Kisaragi. What opinion would you offer on the matter Glynda?" Professor Ozpin had asked his trusted colleague
"Truth be told sir I'm more concerned about the fact that they will be on Teams together. The fight they had in front of the school as well as the initiation does confirm that they are exceptionally skilled. However, from their earlier fight and judging from their injuries I suspect that they have an intense animosity towards each other. Since they will be on Teams then how will they be kept under control. I doubt the staff at Beacon will tolerate such behavior and think of the effects it can have on the other students?" Professor Goodwitch had said voicing her concerns to the headmaster
"Do not worry Glynda I already have an idea on how to keep those two under control and I believe my idea can help deal with each of their Teammates individual shortcomings as well." Professor Ozpin had said reassuring Professor Goodwitch
"Then in regards to your question about my thoughts on who should be leader between Ragna and Mr. Kisaragi it is mixed sir. For Ragna we don't know much about him aside from his community papers and his actions during the initiation and it is hard to gauge him on a personal level. From his activities from the initiation he is very capable and easy to work with. However, the initiation did not put him in a position for his shortcomings to surface. His community papers were clear on the rebellious streaks but it does make clear of the fact that he defends people who can't defend themselves with none of the subtlety and more of the aggression." Professor Goodwitch had explained about Ragna
"So he's similar to Ms. Rose in terms of being willing to take the initiative. However, he is much more aggressive in his actions and he's also head strong." Professor Ozpin had thought to himself
"As for Mr. Kisaragi we know much more about him but his shortcomings are much more apparent. From the notes we've received from Atlus he excels at all of his duties and skills. Though a major concern that the Atlus instructors have made note of is the fact that he shows no interest in being part of a team. Every Team assignment he has been given in Atlus Academy has been fulfilled. Unfortunately, he has not been cooperative with other people and he just focuses on the task and nothing else." Professor Goodwitch had explained about her concerns with Jin
"So it appears that Mr. Kisaragi is exceptionally skilled though he is not cooperative with other people. Also while he is dedicated to his tasks he does not think of the long term effects of his methods. Not to mention he greatly lacks a humble attitude which could be a potential problem for his Teammates." Professor Ozpin had thought to himself making the decision to choose a Team leader between the two of them much easier
"Are there any other teams you have trouble considering for leader sir?" Professor Goodwitch has asked
"The team that will consist of Mr. Shishigami and Mr. Nishiki. Truth be told I am leaning towards Mr. Nishiki being the leader. Though his transcript and his attitude during the initiation are not entirely consistent with each other. I believe that he has a preference to hold back his full capabilities and would prefer to see others be at their best. As for Mr. Shishigami I see much potential for leadership within him however from what I was told by Lord Tenjo and from what I have seen. Mr. Shishigami shows too many headstrong traits as well as a one-track mind. Those traits will make him blind to the needs of individual people closer to him. Being a leader may be able to help him improve on those flaws but there are no guarantees." Professor Ozpin had said voicing his concerns
"I'm sure you will be able to make the right choice for the selection of Team leader." Professor Goodwitch had said reassuring Ozpin
(Beacon Amphitheater)
It has been several hours since the initiation at Emerald Forest that the first year students had participated in. The Headmaster has spent some time naming the Teams that has been formed as well as naming who will be the leader of the newly formed Teams. Right at this moment he had finished naming Team RWBY's and JNPR's leaders as well as granting them their Team name.
"Ragna, Jin Kisaragi, Noel Vermillion, and Makoto Nanaya please come onto the stage." Professor Ozpin had said before the four of them had come onto the stage.
"The four of you have collected the black knight piece. So from this day forward the four of you will be known as Team (Raijin) RJNN which will be led by . . . Ragna." Professor Ozpin had said before everyone clapped. Professor Ozpin had noticed some mixed reactions among the newly formed Teams. Though he did notice that Jin had no reaction to his leader as if he accepted it with ease. After Team RJNN had left the stage he had proceeded to call on the next set of students.
"Bang Shishigami, Bullet, Amane Nishiki, and Tao Kaka please come onto the stage." Professor Ozpin had said before the next set of students he called on came onto the stage
"The four of you have collected the black rook piece. So from this day forward the four of you will be known as Team (Blast) BLST which will be led by . . . Bang Shishigami." Professor Ozpin had said to the applause of everyone. The headmaster had noticed that Bang himself has the most surprised reaction to the news out of all of them even more than Jaune Arc. Ozpin had made sure to make a mental note of this and the four of them had left the stage.
(Ozpin's Office)
After the assembly the newly formed Team RJNN was called into Professor Ozpin's office escorted by Professor Goodwitch. Though the journey and time getting to the office was no entirely pleasant. The reason is that Ragna and Jin had spent a good deal of time trying to provoke each other into a fight. Though to be fair with Jin Ragna did try to boast about being the Team leader. However, Jin's response about the headmaster giving him the role out of pity for him had caused the two of them to argue further. Noel and Makoto spent time trying to prevent things from getting worse but they realized that they will be doing this for the next four years. After a few more minutes of arguing much to the irritation of Noel, Makoto, and Professor Goodwitch the headmaster had arrived into the office.
"Hello Team RJNN I believe that you all are curious as to why I have requested all of you to come here?" Professor Ozpin had said
"Well we are curious as to why we are here Headmaster. But honestly we can't think of any reason." Noel had said
"Well as you know you will be starting classes tomorrow so it will be advised you all receive your schedule and review it as soon as possible. However, it has come to my attention that two people within your Team are at odds against each other." Professor Ozpin had said nodding his head towards Jin and Ragna
"It's not my fault that this crybaby wants to fight me. If he wants me to put him in his place, then who am I to deny his request!" Ragna had told the headmaster in a bold and defiant tone
"Please if anyone needs to be put in their place it's you Ragna. If you can only keep that stubborn attitude of yours under control, then we wouldn't have any problems. But if you insist on getting out of control then it will fall on me to give you a reality check. If it just happens to require my sword, then it is the way it will be." Jin had said in a calmer yet defiant tone
"Now I do understand that there is a personal issue between the two of you that needs to be worked out. However, please keep in mind that this is a school and though the staff can't be there all the time to stop you two from going too far. That is when the functions of your team starts to set in." Professor Ozpin had said while noticing that Noel and Makoto has a look on their faces that shows they aren't going to like where this is heading.
"So this is what's going to happen whenever Ragna and Jin fight each other and things gets too far to a point that they get disciplined. The both of you Ms. Vermilion and Ms. Nanaya will share in the punishment as well. This will be an opportunity to gain meaningful mediator skills for your teammates." Professor Ozpin had said to the shock of Noel and Makoto
"What you have got to be kidding me! I mean I get that we are on the same team but this is too much for us." Makoto had said in a very panicked tone in her voice
"One of the main requirements of a team is to be able to work well together and be able to put aside their grievances. If members of a team aren't capable of that then those members will bring the whole team down in the long run." Professor Ozpin had stated in a dominant tone that quieted Makoto quickly
"I do understand your concern however I am willing to show some leniency to this situation. If the brothers fight in an authorized spar or outside of school territory, then it will be acceptable but only under those conditions. Also it goes without saying that it all must be non-lethal I trust that you all understand this. That will be all for the moment so Professor Goodwitch will be escorting you to get your class schedule." Ozpin had said to Team RJNN as they were leaving while being escorted by Professor Goodwitch
(Beacon Hallway)
After the assembly the newly formed team BLST had retrieved their schedule and the location of their dorm room. Currently the appointed leader Bang was deep in thought for how he can be a capable leader.
"OK now it seems that if we go further down this hallway our room door should be right here." Amane had said before opening the door to team BLST's room.
"Wow this room looks really cozy for meow. But I don't think its large enough for meow to run around in." Tao had said looking into the room with curiosity in her eyes
"Um Tao this room is for us to live in and study when we aren't attending classes. We aren't confined here but it wouldn't do us any good if you run around in here." Amane had explained briefly to Tao
"You'll hear no complaints from me. In fact, this is better than most of the sleeping spots I'm used to." Bullet had said before putting her things down on the bed
"Well I suppose that these are nice accommodations for us students. But we can't get too relaxed we have to get ready for classes tomorrow. Isn't that right Bang . . . uh Bang can you hear me?" Amane had said repeatedly before finally getting Bang's attention
"Oh uh yes Amane I'm just lost in deep thought." Bang had responded
"You know it will probably do you some good to pay attention to your surroundings. It won't do you any good as a leader if you don't pay attention to the people close to you." Amane had said
"I see I'm just trying to adjust to the fact that I'm the leader of our team." Bang had said giving only a small part of the details
"I understand Bang but for now don't think too hard on it and just do what comes naturally to you." Amane had told Bang in a kind tone
"Thank you Amane I appreciate the words of encouragement. Now let's get to unpacking our things." Bang had said though before he went inside the room he had noticed Jaune and his team.
"Amane I must apologize but I need to speak to someone for a bit I will return shortly." Bang had said before leaving to see Jaune
"Hmm I hope he's not overwhelmed at the fact that he's leader. Well he should be alright as long as he remembers he's part of a team and knows he can't do things by himself." Amane had said before helping his teammates unpack their things along with his stuff.
"Hey Jaune!" Bang had yelled getting the attention of June and the rest of his team
"Oh hey Bang is everything alright?" Jaune had asked
"yes everything is fine it's just that I would just like your opinion on something." Bang had said to Jaune
"Well what would you like to know I'll help you out as best as I can." Jaune had said to Bang
"I just want to know your feelings on being a leader of your team Jaune. I don't think the role had fully sunk in for me so I want to get some tips." Bang had said to Jaune
"Hmm well I don't know what to tell you Bang. I mean it's an honor to be a leader but I can't come up with any feeling for it. Maybe it hasn't sunk in for me either and I'm slowly processing it." Jaune had told Bang
"I see well thank you for sparing the time to try to help me at least Jaune." Bang had said showing gratitude
"You're not alone in this Jaune so don't feel overwhelmed about your position as leader. Bang don't forget that you can rely on your team as well as your friends." Pyrrha had told Jaune after overhearing his conversation with Bang
Thank you for the kind words Pyrrha and you too Jaune I will take it to heart." Bang had said before returning to his Team while still deep in thought
"Hmm I need to remember that I can rely on my team and my friends if I ever feel overwhelmed. But then what does it truly mean to be a leader to a Team. Master Tenjo is a great example to learn from. But how can I be a truly good leader like my master." Bang had thought to himself while he was on his way back to his Team.
(The Next Day)
team BLST had spent a good deal of time getting their room organized and unpacking their belongings. After that they had a mainly uneventful evening aside from going over their schedule and having dinner. It is currently morning and most of the Team is asleep.
"WAKEY WAKEY MEOW!" Tao had yelled waking up Bang and Bullet while wearing a yellow onesie
"Well your very excited about the first day of class aren't you?" Amane had said wearing a robe followed by steam indicating he had just finished taking his shower
"Yep it's the first day for meow and I want to be a good huntress." Tao had said in an excited tone
"It's just the first day of class Tao so don't expect much in terms of fighting. Besides we still have to learn a few things about Vale and Remnant this is still a school after all." Amane had said in a calm and friendly tone
"Ugh what time is?" Bullet had asked while still shaking off her fatigue while in her sleeping clothes which consists of sweat shorts and a black tank top.
"It's 8:15 everyone and our class starts at 9:00 plenty of time for us to fulfill our morning rituals and double check our schedule. I mean it's not like we all have only five minutes to get to class or anything." Amane had said before chuckling
"Well since I'm up I may as well get myself ready." Bang had said while sporting a green sweat suit
After Team BLST had changed into their uniforms they were getting ready for class Bang had found himself deep in thought about how he should deal with his classes. As Bang was looking over his schedule he had noticed that for his first class him and his Team will be having history class first.
"Hey Bang what class do we have first today?" Bullet had asked Bang getting his attention
"Oh we seem to have History as our first class today." Bang had answered
"Hmm history class huh well I hate to say it but history isn't what I'd call my strongest subject." Bullet had said with her arms crossed
"I'm sure it will be fine I mean if the Professor can make the class interesting then it'll be no problem for us." Amane had said with enthusiasm
(Dr. Oobleck's Classroom)
"Hello everyone my name is Dr. Oobleck and I will be teaching you all the intriguing subject of history." Dr. Oobleck had said in a fast tone before drinking his coffee and speeding to another part of the classroom
"If you will learn anything during your time at Beacon it will be the significance that history has in our society. Trust me when I say this, all of you are expected to understand history and learn the importance of many crucial events. I will not tolerate foolishness in any form and further more . . ." Dr. Oobleck had said before he heard some loud snoring. When he looked at the source of the snoring he had noticed it was Tao Kaka much to the horror of the rest of her team. After noticing the young Faunus sleeping in class he had rushed to where she is with his cup of coffee in hand.
"Miss what do you think you're doing sleeping in my classroom? Do you realize how insulting it is for you to be sleeping while I am talking?" Dr. Oobleck had said waking Tao up
"Oh um well . . ." Tao had said before Bang had started speaking
"My apologies Dr. Oobleck you see the reason Tao was sleeping just now was because she did not get the chance to sleep last night because of me. The reason is that I needed her help with a few things yesterday which had taken up more time than I originally hoped for. By the time we were finished she had to get herself settled but it gave her little to no time for sleep. The fault is my own and I will take full responsibility for my young apprentice." Bang had said while some of the other students in the class had snickered
"I can vouch for Bang's story Doctor but please be lenient with her it is the first day and we will make sure that this will not happen again or at the very least less frequently." Amane had said to the Doctor
After looking at Bang, Amane, and then Tao Dr. Oobleck had drank some of his coffee before he started to speak. "Very well I will be lenient this one time but the next time I catch her or anyone else sleeping in my class there will be consequences." Dr. Oobleck had stated before going back to the center of the classroom very quickly
"Poor Tao she was so excited about coming to class she didn't have the energy to pay attention. It was noble of Bang to try to cover for her but we all have to look out for each other and make sure Tao pays attention." Amane had thought to himself
(Beacon Food Hall)
It is currently lunch time for the students at Beacon and a lot of students had proceeded to eat at the food hall. Currently half of team RWBY is eating lunch with team JNPR and most of team RJNN along with half of team BLST. Though when Yang had taken a look at Noel and Makoto she was shocked at their appearance. Noel and Makoto has messy hair and bags under their eyes which indicates that they did not get any sleep.
"Wow what happened the both of you!" Yang had said to Noel and Makoto in a surprised tone
"We spent all of last night trying to make sure Ragna and Jin don't fight each other. Apparently Professor Ozpin had the bright idea to let me and noellers share the punishment the two knuckleheads will have if they go too far." Makoto had explained with a depressed expression on her face
"Me and Makoto had thought it would be easy since they know that all of us will share in the punishment. Unfortunately, we were wrong on so many levels and the two of them just spent the whole night arguing looking for a reason to fight. All of us barely managed to make it to class on time and stay awake." Noel had said with an equally depressing look on her face
"It's not entirely my fault if he wanted to fight me. All the both of you had to do was let him get a well-deserved beating and we can all move on." Ragna had said without any shame for his actions
"You're supposed to be our team leader Ragna so would it kill you to act like it." Makoto had said in a bold yet irritated tone
"Yeah I mean you do have to be the mature one out of all of us." Noel had said while trying to fix her hair
"I don't recall a book out there that says how I'm supposed to act like a leader. Besides if the two of you are going to play the leader card with me. Then let's consider Jin's actions as a classic case of insubordination and in that case it's in my authority to discipline him." Ragna had said before getting up to get some food
"Wow he sounds like a real handful I hate to be on his bad side." Jaune had said with everyone else silently agreeing
"Where is Weiss and Ruby I don't see them around here?" Pyrrha had asked
"Now that you mention it I don't see Bang or Amane here either." Ren had added further
"Ruby had a few things on her mind after a brief argument with Weiss. So she wanted to be alone with her thoughts. As for Weiss I don't know where she is but most likely she went to cool off." Blake had explained to the teams
"Bang wanted to be by himself for a bit and as for Amane he wanted to see more of Beacon. I originally wanted to see the training room but I was begged to keep an eye on Tao to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. She almost got herself into a world of trouble after falling asleep in our first class. If it wasn't for Bang and Amane I dread to think about how it would have ended. Still I didn't think she would have the energy to eat a lot of food but I was wrong." Bullet had said while Tao was eating her food furiously.
(Beacon Balcony)
It would be a very accurate statement to say that Weiss is irritated at the moment. Giving a less than stellar performance when dealing with a Grimm in Professor Port's class is already bad enough. However, she is still struggling with the fact that Ruby Rose is the team leader. Weiss knows that she has to give Ruby a chance as a teammate but to accept her as a leader is another issue entirely. In Weiss's eyes Ruby hasn't earned the right to become team leader and believes that Professor Ozpin had made a mistake. As Weiss had stepped outside to get some fresh air she had noticed Jin standing near the edge. Realizing who it was she had decided to go to him.
"Jin!" Weiss had yelled out getting his attention
"Ah Weiss it's good to see you again." Jin had said briefly looking back at her
"It's good to see you again as well Jin. So tell me how has your classes been going so far?" Weiss had asked
"They have been going well for the most part but since it's the first day I expect things to change in some form in the long run." Jin had explained to Weiss
"That's good Jin for as long as I've known you in our classes you have always done exceptionally well in your classes." Weiss had said to Jin
"The same could be said for you as well Weiss. We have been taking classes together ever since we were kids. So it is very likely that you had likely impressed your professor's earlier today. However, I have a stinging suspicion that there is something bothering you Weiss." Jin had stated to Weiss with ease
"Well since you were able to figure that much out Jin I suppose there is no harm in telling you. I think that Professor Ozpin had made a mistake when he made Ruby team leader. I also think that it was an even bigger mistake that you aren't the leader of your own team." Weiss had said to Jin in an irritated tone
"I see then what do you plan to do about it?" Jin had said which surprised Weiss
"What do you mean what do I plan to do about it?" Weiss had said shocked and mad at Jin's statement
"Exactly what I said Weiss and to be honest there is not much that can be done. I have known you for a long time Weiss and though you are admittedly skilled and intelligent. You also have a tendency to display a poor attitude when things don't go your way. Just because you're the heiress to your family's company it does not mean you're entitled to anything you want. Do you honestly think that complaining with that poor attitude will convince Professor Ozpin to change his mind?" Jin had said causing Weiss to think about her situation a bit more thoroughly before Jin continued
"The fact that you did not become team leader should not be an excuse for you to not be at your best in fact it should be a motivation. Being a leader does not define who you are and you should never forget that Weiss. As for me I have accepted the reality of Ragna being leader very easily. Over the years I have been given praise for my skills in battle and academics. Though I have received a good deal of criticism about my capabilities to work properly in teams. A focus of criticism that you have known about for years. Taking that into consideration would you really want someone who has a hard time working with other people to be your leader?" Jin had asked Weiss
"No I suppose I wouldn't." Weiss had answered in an accepting tone
"The position of leadership is a learning chance not just for the leader but for the other teammates as well. So take every chance you can to improve yourself and you will be grateful for it. Besides I believe that Ragna was given the position out of pity and if you know him as well as I do then you'll know that he needs it badly." Jin had stated to Weiss
"I see well thank you Jin you always did know what to say to me. I look forward to talking to you under more pleasant circumstances." Weiss had before walking away. Though as she was walking she had stopped and turned around about to ask a question
"Um Jin if you don't mind me asking how do you know Ragna. It might be just me but I get the feeling that the two of you have history together." Weiss had asked in a curious tone
"Ragna is my brother and we aren't on good terms. As for the reason I would rather not discuss it." Jin had said with irritation in his voice
"I see well if you want to talk then let me know and I will be available." Weiss had said before walking away. Realizing that the topic of family is a sore subject which is something she can relate to.
(Beacon Hallways)
Ruby is currently deep in thought about what Professor Ozpin had said to her about the responsibilities of being a leader. Ruby understands that being a leader should be considered a great honor but a burden is also attached to it. Though Ruby is given some reassurance that Professor Ozpin selecting Ruby for team leader is not a mistake. She is still concerned with how she can be a good leader. As Ruby was deep in thought about how she can be a good leader she had ran into Bang.
"Ugh sorry Ruby I should have watched where I was going." Bang had said to Ruby
"Oh it's no problem Bang I was at fault as well. So tell me how has your classes been going so far?" Ruby had asked Bang
"They have been going fine Ruby though it's a good thing you're here since I have a question for you. How do you feel about being the leader of your own team? I have been thinking about this for a while but honestly I don't know how to proceed. I was told that I don't have to handle the responsibility of leadership alone but how do I proceed with my role. The only leader figure I can think of to follow is Master Tenjo but truth be told I don't know where to begin." Bang had explained to Ruby
"I know exactly what you mean Bang. Professor Ozpin had told me earlier that being a leader is a big responsibility and I need to take time to think about how I'm supposed to uphold that responsibility. He also said that its only been one day and I shouldn't be quick to doubt myself." Ruby had told Bang
"I understand that we need to spend some time thinking about how we can proceed as a leader. However, what if we make a disastrous mistake along the way. Our team will ultimately suffer from it. Honestly speaking Ruby I think Amane is better suited as team leader he displayed a good deal of leadership traits yesterday and today and I think the role is better for him." Bang had explained to Ruby
"I would have to disagree with you on that statement Bang." A male voice had suddenly said shocking Bang and Ruby. When the two of them saw who it was they both recognized the person as Amane
"Amane wha . . . what are you doing here and how much did you hear?" Bang had asked frantically
"Well I wanted to see more of Beacon so me showing up here is a pleasant coincidence. Also to answer your second question I heard the whole thing. Now as for your statement about me being a better suited leader for our team I would have to kindly disagree with you." Amane had said
"But how I mean you are kind and confident not to mention you was able to keep things under control when we were getting ourselves settled yesterday. Not to mention you was vigilant in making sure all of us were ready to attend our classes this morning." Bang had said
"True but I can easily tell that you never had the chance to be a leader before have you? So allow me to clear things up for you Bang. Being a leader can be a good opportunity for you to better yourself for your own sake as well as your teams. Nobody can become the ideal leader on the first day in fact I bet there are tons of leaders that spent a long time developing themselves to become proper leaders. So you need to give yourself a chance before you start to doubt yourself and if you make mistakes along the way then your team and your friends will be there to set you straight and this goes for you as well Ruby. Besides I think that you can become a great leader you just need to get some experience on how to handle things as a leader and do things your way not the way other people would. If you want proof of your leadership potential then remember that you was prepared to take humiliation and a royal scolding when our teammate was sleeping in class on her first day. If a leader can do that for their teammate then it shows that they are capable." Amane had explained to both Ruby and Bang
"Oh thank you Amane you had helped clear the doubt I have within myself. I will show all of you what I am capable of you will see." Bang had said excitedly
"You helped me out too Amane now I feel more confident about myself as a team leader. So thanks once again for the motivational speech." Ruby had said with more confidence in herself
"Hahaha no problem you two and remember if you need advice I will help as best as I can." Amane had said with kindness in his voice
(Beacon Statue at Night)
It has been a very busy first day of the school year for Professor Ozpin. After making sure that the first year students are in class he had to make sure that everything is running properly. To Professor Ozpin's delight there has been no significant issues to be concerned about. Though he did find himself giving Ruby a pep talk about what it means to be a leader he is confident that she will be a good leader given time. Currently Professor Ozpin alone is looking at the statue in front of Beacon currently deep in thought about the future.
"You know if people see you here like this they will think things will get ominous in the future." A voice had said from a figure that is hidden
"I suppose hiding while speaking gives an even less ominous feeling Jubei?" Professor Ozpin had said causing Jubei to step into the moonlight
"Good point Headmaster." Jubei had said in an accepting tone
"Well what do you think of this year's initiation Jubei I know that you were watching the whole thing." Professor Ozpin had said
"You knew I was there I must be losing my touch due to my old age." Jubei had said
"No Jubei you're not losing your touch I just made a guess and your reaction confirmed it." Professor Ozpin had said before drinking his coffee
"Now I think your just being polite to me Ozpin. Still if you want to know what I think then I say they all have a long way to go." Jubei had responded to Ozpin
"I admit they all have much to learn but I won't deny the potential that each of them has for themselves. Its ultimately up to them if they wish to fulfill that potential." Ozpin had said to Jubei
"Still I didn't think you would get my apprentice to become team leader. Though considering how his brother is he's the best candidate by comparison. Jin has a lot of potential for greatness but he needs to develop himself further for his sake. Or else his strength will be everyone else's weakness and I dread that scenario." Jubei had said in a concerned tone
"Don't worry about a thing regarding you apprentice Jubei. His team will be able to make him into an ideal Huntsman and with some time I'm certain that Jin will be the hero that he is capable of becoming. Still I doubt you came here just to get an update on Ragna." Ozpin had said in a concerned tone
"Your right I have some news for you and honestly its bad. Nothing to be immediately concerned about, but it's something you need to be prepared for." Jubei had said before confirming he still has Ozpin's attention. After seeing he still has the headmaster's attention Jubei started to explain the news to Ozpin
"The first piece of news is that our mutual threat has located one half of the Grimm aura. She doesn't know where the other half is but you know how persistent she can be. The sad thing is that is good news by comparison." Jubei had said in a concerned tone
"Then I am dreading the bad news even more." Ozpin had said in a concerned tone
"I have recently gotten confirmation that Terumi has been freed from his prison. Also to add to this bit of news two of the Malachite serpents has been killed. Which means that Terumi has a good portion of his full strength. How he was able to get free in the first place I don't know but I have a few ideas on how and all of them are bad." Jubei had explained which had almost shaken Ozpin
"Are you sure about this Jubei? If what you say is true, then we will have bigger problems than the Grimm." Ozpin had said with a tone of worry in his voice
"Rachel confirmed it herself it's all true but the reason it's not an immediate concern is that he can't use all of his power yet. Not only that but he has to wait a while before another Malachite serpent gets killed. If he gets too impatient for his power, then he will get overwhelmed by his very own power and he will die. So if anything we have more time than you think. But he's no idiot he knows this too and it's likely he's planning something. The only silver lining I can get from this is that the death of the Malachite serpents had freed Hakumen but it's been over a hundred years and he's not what you'd call patient." Jubei had explained to Ozpin in a tired tone
"I see that is troubling news but as you said we have time to prepare." Ozpin had said while still concerned
"True but how much time we have is another problem. For now, you need to get prepared Ozpin I don't know what their plan is or how they'll pull it off but whatever they do it's not going to be pleasant." Jubei had said to Ozpin
"Don't worry I will handle this to the best of my abilities. Just don't do anything reckless that will cause you to get killed." Ozpin had said before drinking his coffee
"I'll be careful Ozpin don't worry and stay safe both you and the people in Vale." Jubei had said before disappearing into the night
"You stay safe as well my friend." Ozpin had muttered to himself before heading inside
(Professor Goodwitch's Classroom)
It has been a pleasant morning for teams RWBY, JNPR, RJNN, and BLST as all of them had Professor Goodwitch's class together. Not only that but all of them had found themselves in a better mood with the exception of team RJNN.
"Now everyone my name is Professor Goodwitch and I will be your combat instructor. While all of you will be learning how to properly defend yourself in my class. Do not forget that each of you are expected to do traditional assignments in this class. So for the first few days most if not all of you are going to have a spar here so I can have a good idea of your battle capabilities." Professor Goodwitch had said to the whole class
"Wow it looks like we're getting into the action already." Makoto had muttered to Noel with her nodding in agreement
"Now then do I have any first volunteers?" Professor Goodwitch had asked the whole class
(A/N)
A fair heads up to everyone it will be a long while before I get to the Jaunedice story arc of RWBY. The reason is that I don't want to get through Volume 1 of RWBY so quickly and I still want to make use of the blazblue characters in this story.
Also the next chapter will have some characters spar with each other so any ideas as to who spars with who. I have a few ideas but I am willing to look into suggestions and I might consider it but no guarantees.
So read and review
Thank you
