(A/N) It has come to my attention that some of you guys have questions about pairings in this story so let me address it here. I originally planned to mention this in a few chapters but because of the concerns I will confirm it here. There WILL be pairings in this story but who will be paired with who I can't give it away so soon. I want to spend time developing the bond between the characters so it can feel like a natural pairing and not forced onto the story. So, the characters that ends up with each other won't be established this early. However, I have teased potential pairings in previous chapters and will continue to do so. So unless the story and the Author's note confirms the pairing nothing is set in stone.
Chapter 9 A learning moment
(Dr. Oobleck's Classroom)
It is currently mid-afternoon in Dr. Oobleck's class and currently the teams of JNPR RJNN and RWBY are in history class. The class is still currently going over some materials for the first-year students and Dr. Oobleck did not waste any time giving out lectures and assignments. Fortunately, the materials were not overwhelming, though the bad news is that they require a great amount of details for the various topics he asks for. Not to mention that the Doctor shows a passion for the subject and will not except anything that is of low quality.
"Now class I hope that you have all paid attention to this remarkable lecture. Because its contents will be on an upcoming quiz. Oh, and before I forget the quiz will be closed book so study hard and take good notes." Dr. Oobleck had said oblivious to the groans of various students before continuing with his lecture
"Now as all of you should know the anniversary of the end of the great war will be coming in a few months. Though before all of you start taking notes you should all know this lecture will be a discussion of something related to the great war. So, can any of you tell me what happened one year after the great war ended?" Dr. Oobleck had asked before drinking his coffee. After asking the question a bunny eared Faunus had raised her hand, getting Oobleck's attention
"Yes Velvet?" Dr. Oobleck had said before drinking more of his coffee
"One year after the great war ended the Aura Beast had suddenly appeared." Velvet had said answering her Professor's question
"Your right Velvet, one year after the great war ended the Aura Beast had appeared. It held immense and destructive power that far surpasses the Grimm. The death's and destruction it had caused is monstrous in scale even to this day. Though all of Remnant remembers the great war and its impact. The Aura Beast is a whole different calamity entirely, one that many people would wish to forget about as soon as possible. Can any of you tell me how long the calamity of the Aura Beast had lasted?" Doctor Oobleck had asked with Jin raising his hand and answering.
"The Aura Beast had reined in Remnant for ten years. It was a calamity that had caused the four Kingdoms including both Human and Faunus to work together to fight the thing. Unfortunately, the number of lives lost were in the thousands on a weekly basis because of the Beast. Eventually the tactics went from fighting the Aura Beast to simply reducing the death count as much as possible. During that time, several disgraceful tactics were used to deal with the beast. Like the infamous Beast Wall tactic for example." Jin had said in a clear tone before noticing several awkward groans of the Faunus in the classroom at the mention of the beast wall tactic
"Exactly right Mr. Kisaragi, the ten years was a time of fear and suffering. Though as Mr. Kisaragi said the Aura Beast had lasted for ten years and during the last year of the decade six warriors had appeared and fought the Aura Beast for several days. After killing the Aura Beast, the six warriors had disappeared but have been titled the six legends. Can any of you identify the six legendary warriors?" Dr. Oobleck had asked before Ruby had raised her hands in the air with much excitement
"Yes Ms. Rose" Dr. Oobleck had said pointing towards Ruby
"Ooh ooh I know this one by heart Professor I studied this topic a lot. Each of the legendary warriors are legendary Huntsman and Huntresses of great skill and power. The Six Legendary Warriors is Jubei the Cat Lotus, Valkenhayn the Silver Wolf, Hakumen the White Void, Nine the Great Sage, Trinity the Platinum Alchemist, and Yuuki Terumi the black Viper." Ruby had answered in a tone of excitement
"Very good Ms. Rose and please address me as Doctor in the future. Now nobody knows much about the legendary heroes aside from their names, but after they all slayed the Aura Beast they disappeared. It has been assumed that the only thing they left behind are the Aura Weapons of legend. But even on the topics of such powerful weapons nobody knows what they truly are or how many exists, assuming the legend is real at all." Dr. Oobleck had said before drinking more of his coffee
(Beacon Hallway)
It has been a few minutes since Dr. Oobleck's class has ended and team JNPR and team RJNN were heading to their dorm room to get their materials for next class. As they were walking Jaune had a curious look on his face because of the topic of the Aura Beast during history class.
"Is there something on your mind Jaune?" Pyrrha had asked noticing his mood
"Oh its nothing I'm just trying to process what we learned about in class with the Aura Beast. Also, what Jin had said about the tactics used in the past during the Aura Beast rein. Can any of you tell me what the Beast Wall tactic is? History isn't one of my strongest subjects." Jaune had said to his team
"Well the Beast Wall tactic is complicated to explain along with the history of the Aura Beast. Oh, I know how about you and me go to the Museum this Weekend so we can learn more about the Aura Beast." Pyrrha had said in a tone of excitement
"That sounds like a good idea Pyrrha, me and Nora can . . ." Ren had said before Nora covered his mouth
"Yes, you and Jaune can go to the Museum this weekend alone and together. Isn't that right Ren?" Nora had said tightening her grip on Ren's mouth with him nodding yes
"Oh sure that sounds like a great idea Pyrrha." Jaune had said to Pyrrha who had a look of excitement on her face
"You're going to the Museum this Weekend Jaune? In that case mind if I come along? I'm still a bit lost on the subject of history especially in Professor Oobleck's class." Noel had said overhearing the conversation
"Oh um. . ." Pyrrha had said in a nervous tone
"Sure that will be a good idea Noel. With all of us at the Museum I'm sure that we can all better understand the assignments that Professor Oobleck gives us." Jaune had said before walking off
"Um I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Noel had asked Pyrrha
"No nothing at all." Pyrrha had said with a not noticeable hint of annoyance in her voice
(Beacon Library)
Whenever Jin wasn't in class or training by himself he could usually be seen in the library studying for his current and upcoming classes. Jin does not put any thought into the fact that he's doing these things without his team. Because for starters he does not get along with his team leader and he is waiting for an opportunity to beat him to a pulp without anyone to stop him. Another thing to make note of is that he barely tolerates Noel and sees her as a waste of time and energy though he is neutral to Makoto.
The only person that he has gotten along with ever since coming to Beacon was Weiss Schnee. Jin has known the young heiress ever since middle school and though they did not initially get along at first. The two of them had slowly started to gain each other's respect until the two of them are considered on friendly terms. Seeing Weiss at Beacon made Jin silently hope that he would be on teams with her, but he knew not to get his hopes up with such a scenario. Jin did silently accept the situation that he's in. He knows that he doesn't have to like it and if he's patient he will have another chance to fight his brother and win.
"I thought I recognized you." A young male voice had said that has caused Jin to look from his book to see a young male followed by three other young men. When Jin had taken a closer look at the appearance of the person who was addressing him. The young man has orange hair that looked as if it has been combed back.
"You're probably wondering who I am right? Well allow me to introduce myself, the name's Cardin Winchester leader of team CRDL and this here is my team, Russel, Dove, and Sky." Cardin had said introducing himself and his team to Jin
"You can clearly see that I'm studying, so why don't you guys just tell me what it is you want." Jin had said in a frustrating tone.
"Fair enough Jin, so let me explain what I am doing speaking to you. You see I had saw how you had managed to take down that guy named er Jaune with little effort needed on your part. Not to mention that you had done well against the famous champion Pyrrha Nikos. So, I'm thinking you should hang out with us, you know a strong team that could prove to be a long-lasting and beneficial friendship for all of us." Cardin had said to Jin
"It appears that you come here to make yourselves feel stronger after seeing what I'm capable of. Then offer me false promises that is hidden behind an empty claim with your claim to be strong. The only thing you have all accomplished is being able to waste my time." Jin had said before getting up to walk away
As Jin was walking away a young man with a dark blue hair had made a motion to walk towards Jin with his teeth gritted only to be stopped by Cardin.
"Cool it Sky, he just needs some time to think about the offer. We will have a chance to prove ourselves to him in time." Cardin had said in a confident tone
Jin did not want to be bothered with someone like Cardin. Though Jin doesn't know anything about Cardin, at first glance he sees Cardin as someone who believes in strength and nothing more. Wanting to be somewhere in the library that will give him some peace and quiet Jin had went to the far back area of the Library. After Jin had found a nice quiet spot for himself he had sat down and resumed his studying. Though as he was studying he had felt a bright flash on him. Then his sword Yukianesa had started to glow briefly before the light dissipated. When Jin had looked at the direction of the flash he had saw a bunny eared Faunus.
"Oh sorry that the flash from my camera bothered you. It's just that I had never saw a weapon like yours before and I couldn't help myself. I thought I had turned the flash on my camera off but it looks like I forgot to do it." Velvet had told Jin
"Last time I checked the Library was supposed to be a place for students to study, not for taking pictures of other people's weapons." Jin had stated in an irritated tone to Velvet
"Sorry once again it's just that your weapon looks unique and the picture I have of it is just blurry. That hasn't happened before and I've been taking pictures of other people's weapons for a long time." Velvet had explained to Jin
"Hmm it appears that your camera can copy the form and abilities of a weapon allowing you to use it whenever you're ready. Though every use of the copied weapon uses the picture as some sort of ammo." Jin had said figuring out the functions of her camera
"Wow you figured it all out just after a few seconds. Not many people have done that before." Velvet had said Jin in an impressed tone
"After you told me what happened after you had taken your picture it wasn't hard to figure out. One of the unique properties of my weapon is that it does not allow itself to be copied. Until the day I die I am the only one who can use my sword." Jin had explained to Velvet
"I've never heard of a weapon like that unless . . .is that an Aura Weapon?" Velvet had asked
"Yes, it is, now explain to me why are you so curious about it?" Jin had said slowly losing his patience
"It's just that Aura Weapons are often considered to be myths and legends. I've read stories about people who had spent their entire lives looking for just one. But the fact that you have one shows that Aura Weapons are real. Why didn't you show Dr. Oobleck your Aura Weapon while we were in class?" Velvet had asked Jin
"It was not relevant to the topic nor the subject at the time. It appears that I did not get the chance to study as much as I wanted so I must borrow this book and return it tomorrow." Jin had said before leaving.
"Oh well it was nice talking to you." Velvet had said to Jin as he was leaving
(Beacon Airship)
It has been a couple of days since the trip to the Museum has been planned for Jaune, Pyrrha, and Noel. Currently the three of them are on the airship that will bring them closer to the Vale Museum. The purpose for the trip to the Museum was for the trio to learn more about the era of the Aura Beast. Though Pyrrha did have a small ulterior motive in mind she figured she should adept to the situation and make the best of it. Besides in Pyrrha's eyes Noel is a good person and she makes for better company instead of her other blonde teammate. Assuming of course she doesn't cook anything for the trip still remembering what happened
"So Noel, why did you want to come to the Museum with us?" Pyrrha had asked Noel
"Well it's just that Professor Oobleck's lectures does seem very detailed but to be honest the stuff he tells us is a bit hard to follow. Though when I overheard the Museum trip I figured it would be a good opportunity. I wanted to make some snacks for us, but I overslept and didn't get the chance to do so." Noel had explained to the two (Though the both of them are glad to avoid a disaster in the form of food)
"Yeah I can relate to what you're saying Noel, history is not exactly my strongest subject either. Though I must admit it's not as tiring as Professor Port's class. At least those stories of his are interesting but they do drag on for a bit." Jaune had said to Noel
"I agree but if anything, I'm grateful for the fact that Professor Port's stories manages to keep Makoto interested in class." Noel had said slightly chuckling with Jaune soon following, while Pyrrha was briefly deep in thought
"Say Pyrrha is it true about what the Professor had said about the Aura Beast? That people would want to forget about the Beast entirely and would prefer to remember the great war." Noel had said getting Pyrrha out of her deep thought
"Yes Noel it is true, though the great war was bad on its own the Aura Beast wrath is honestly unspeakable. The Museum should have more information but from what I can remember its presence had brought despair to anyone who knows of it and to make things worse its presence can make the Grimm stronger." Pyrrha had briefly explained to Noel and Jaune
"The Grimm we have to deal with now is already strong enough, if they were any stronger . . . I don't even wanna imagine how things would be." Jaune had said
"I agree Jaune." Pyrrha had said agreeing with her team leader
(Streets of Vale)
"Whew I'm glad that we managed to have a safe flight getting here. Say Pyrrha do you know how far the Museum is from here?" Jaune had asked glad that nothing serious has happened (Like him vomiting)
"It's not that far from here Jaune, if we keep going then we should be able to get there in 30 minutes." Pyrrha had explained. As the trio were heading to the Museum they had heard a familiar voice near them. When the three of them looked at the source they had saw that it was Ragna finishing his fish meal.
"The food they serve at this joint tastes pretty good. I should remember to get some recipes so I can make a few dishes." Ragna had said after finishing up
"Hey Ragna!" Jaune had yelled out getting Ragna's attention
"Oh hey guys nice seeing you all here." Ragna had said as he was getting up and walking towards them. Though not before putting some Lien on the table to pay for the food.
"What are you doing here Ragna? I didn't see you since this morning and it looked like you were in a rush." Noel had said to her team leader
"Oh about that well I had to see the Headmaster about a few things and I was able to get it done earlier than I thought. Then I decided to explore Vale for a bit and found myself here. Say, what are you doing here in Vale Noel? I remember that you were excited about something last night but wouldn't say what it was." Ragna had answered but followed with a question of his own
"Um we are about to um take a study trip which is here in Vale." Noel had said in a very nervous tone like she was caught in an embarrassing position
"Oh in that case mind if I come along? I'm having some problems with my classes and I want to learn as much as I can." Ragna had requested
"Oh um . . ." Noel had said before Pyrrha started to speak
"Sure it's no problem Ragna the more the merrier. Not to mention this will make things more memorable" Pyrrha had said to Ragna in a hasty tone
"Oh sure thanks for letting me come along guys." Ragna had answered
(The Training Room of Beacon)
After being able to study for most of the morning Jin had found himself going to the training room so he can improve his skills. Though when he got there he was disappointed to see that there were no training robots like in Atlus. However, Jin sees that the room is very spacious and has several training equipment. Jin realizes that the main purpose of the room is for other Beacon students to train with each other instead of alone. Jin could easily see that Beacon greatly encourages teamwork but the cost is the lack of technology compared to Atlus. Though training alone is possible he felt he would not be able to get the progress and results that he wants without anything to fight against.
"Why am I not surprised to see you here." A young female voice had said
After hearing the voice Jin had recognized it and turned around to see who it was. When Jin saw the source, he had recognized the person as Weiss.
"Because you know that I intend to get as much training as I can. After all back at Atlus you and everyone else knows that I frequently use the training room. Would it be accurate for me to assume that you're here for the same reason?" Jin had said to Weiss
"Your right Jin I am here to train. I have made significant progress towards my studies and after making sure that my team understood the recent material I left to come here to train." Weiss had explained to Jin
"How are you getting along with your teammates then Weiss?" Jin had asked the young heiress
"Things have been improving for the most part between us. Ruby is starting to take things more seriously and I am doing better with giving her a chance after that talk we had. I have gotten to know Yang a bit better now though I do see some similarities between her and her sister Ruby. Though Blake is still mysterious and she's not really open about telling us about her past or herself. How have you been getting along with your teammates Jin?" Weiss had said to Jin
"My relationship with my team is the same as it was back at Atlus. The only difference is that they tend to mettle more than usual with my affairs." Jin had said in a blunt tone irritated that Noel and Makoto stop him from fighting Ragna
"I see, well at least you're on a team with people that your familiar with so that is something. You know Jin since we are here would you care to spar with me? I want to improve my combat capabilities and know how much more I have to learn." Weiss had explained to Jin
"Very well Weiss, since this training room is better suited for pairs there is really no harm in a friendly spar. Besides I'm curious to see how far you came since our early days in Atlus." Jin had said before walking away so there is a good amount of space between them for the spar.
After a moment Jin had made the first move by using his semblance to launch several ice daggers at Weiss. Reacting quickly Weiss had used her glyphs to create a shield to block the ice daggers. Blocking the attack with her glyphs is what Jin hoped Weiss would do and proceeded to dash towards her with his sword drawn.
Once Jin had gotten close he had attempted to slash at Weiss with his sword. Only for Weiss to block each attack with her glyph. Even though the sword attacks were blocked Jin did not panic because after a brief second the glyph used to block the attack had started to get frozen. After a few minutes of attacking the glyph it was completely frozen. Unfortunately for Jin Weiss knew what Jin would do and already had a plan in mind. As Jin was about to use his semblance to launch himself into the air Weiss had used the glyph barrier that had been frozen by Jin and caused it to explode. The explosion had pushed Jin back a good distance but Weiss was not finished. Weiss decided to use the red dust within her rapier and stuck her weapon into the ground and activated her glyph. Then after a moment Weiss had sent a strong heat wave throughout the area that the two of them are fighting in.
Jin had used his semblance to generate an ice wall to block the heat wave. Though after the heat wave ended Jin realized what Weiss's plan was regarding the heat wave. What Jin realized was that Weiss knew the functions of his semblance including the weaknesses that it has. What the heat wave did was dry out all the moisture in the air making Jin unable to use his semblance. Realizing his newfound setback Jin had decided to focus on close quarters combat and dashed towards Weiss.
Realizing how dangerous Jin is in a close-up fight Weiss had decided to use the fire dust within her myrtemaster to keep Jin at a distance. Weiss had decided to send various fire attacks towards Jin to stop him from pursuing any further. Fortunately, the plan succeeded and Jin had stopped his movements to block the fire attacks. What happened next was that Jin had continuously blocked the attacks with his Yukianesa since it is not effected by fire. What happened next had slightly confused Weiss because after the flames had dispersed Jin had continued to swing his sword while in one spot. After breathing in the air Weiss had realized what Jin's plan was and knew she needed to have a plan of her own if she was to win.
After spending a few seconds slashing at the air Jin had felt full control of his semblance once again and started to launch several ice daggers at Weiss. After the ice daggers were launched Jin had then proceeded to dash towards Weiss. Reacting quickly Weiss had decided to once again generate a barrier with her glyphs to protect herself from Jin's attacks. After the ice daggers hit the barrier Jin had attacked barrier with rapid slashes once he had gotten close to Weiss. After a moment Jin had then decided to move around Weiss and after noticing the barrier that surrounds her, he had proceeded to attack Weiss from all sides slowly freezing the barrier in the process.
Weiss had consistently tried to attack Jin with her fire enabled attacks but it had proved to be useless because Jin was moving too fast. Not helping matters is that the more Jin freezes the barrier the colder the air has gotten which strengthens Jin's semblance and makes it harder for Weiss to move and breath. A few moments later Weiss had ended up being completely trapped in a frozen barrier. Weiss tried to detonate the glyphs that is frozen within the ice though before she could do it the ice had shattered catching her by surprise. Unfortunately for Weiss being distracted for a brief second was what Jin wanted because now Jin had gotten close to Weiss and unleashed a flurry of slashes at Weiss before she ended up being frozen. Then after immediately being frozen, the ice that Weiss was in had shattered knocking Weiss down.
"It seems that I've had enough for today." Weiss had said before getting herself up
"I definitely see your improvements from the last time that we had sparred Weiss. Your ability to combine your semblance with dust is impressive as always. Especially with how you have managed to combine your glyphs with your fire dust and utilize the weakness of my semblance. By removing the moisture in the air, making me unable to use my semblance. It's not surprising that you still remember the full functions of my semblance and figured out the weaknesses it has." Jin had said giving Weiss praise for her actions during the spar
"You've actually shown a great deal of improvement as well Jin. Using your sword, you had managed to find a way to recover your semblance. Not to mention you had used my own barrier against me and managed to catch me off guard long enough to deal a strong blow. I know that it was for a second but that was all you needed. It seems that I have a long way to go." Weiss had said
"I'm certain you will reach that level of strength Weiss. This reminds me of that spar I had with your sister a few years ago. After I lost I remember her telling me that the one second I let my guard down is all the Grimm will need. If I can learn that from your sister, then you can as well." Jin had said to Weiss
"Your right Jin I'm sure I will get better thank you. As for Winter, she has grown stronger over the years and she is still curious to see how far you had come. I'm sure she will be delighted to see that you had improved as well." Weiss had said to Jin
As Weiss and Jin were talking they were being spied on by two individuals. The two people had made sure that they were out of sight but were still careful regardless to avoid being noticed. The two people are Yang and Makoto who has seen the whole thing even the spar.
"Can you hear what they are saying Makoto?" Yang had asked in a low tone
"A little bit but it's nothing we can use. Thanks for texting me that Weiss was heading here Yang." Makoto had said
"No problem after seeing Jin come here and hearing Weiss come here as well I had to tell you. If we can catch them doing something passionate we can use it against her for the next four years. The fact that they knew each other before coming here and they tend to act different when they are around each other is too good of a chance to pass up." Yang had said
"That is assuming we can catch them doing something Yang. We just need to make sure we don't get caught while we wait. If we get caught those two will make sure to be more careful." Makoto had responded
"What are you two doing?" a young female voice had asked
When the two of them turned around they had both saw Ruby and Tao looking at them with a look of confusion. Ruby was paying close attention to the two. While Tao had a neutral look on her face.
"Um hi sis it's a surprise to see you here. So, uh what are you doing here with Tao?" Yang had asked while trying to think of an excuse to give Ruby
"Well I had gotten bored and decided I should come here to get some training done. On my way, here I ran into Tao and we decided to come here to train together. So, what are you and Makoto doing here?" Ruby had briefly explained to her sister
"Well uh we were just. . . ." Yang had said before Tao interrupted her
"Ooh I figured it out. the both of you are here to spy on the other students so you can learn their fighting weaknesses meow." Tao had said in an excited tone
"Oh darn that's right you found out about it. Well since we are caught we should just go before more students see us. Let's go Yang." Makoto had said
"Right Makoto oh and don't tell anyone Ruby." Yang had said before dashing away with Makoto at a blinding speed
"That was kinda weird oh well." Ruby had said before she started training with Tao
"That was too close Yang. I didn't think your sister would come by this early. If it wasn't for Tao's guess, we would have been found out big time." Makoto had said while trying to catch her breath
"I agree that guess may not be accurate but I'll take it. It doesn't look like we can go back inside and avoid the risk of being discovered, oh well we can try again another time." Yang had said
"Yeah but next time lets be more careful to avoid being caught." Makoto had said
(Vale Museum)
It has taken the group almost an hour but they had all managed to reach the Museum of Vale. Once they had arrived there was a moderately long line though it is moving quickly and in a few minutes, they had all made it into the Museum. One inside all of them were impressed by the many different paintings, sculptures, and other various forms of art that fills the museum halls and rooms.
"Wow there is so much to take in and this is just near the entrance." Noel said impressed with what she's seeing
"No kidding I'm starting to see why Professor Oobleck gives us so many assignments for class." Jaune had said with everyone else agreeing
"So how are we going to do this? You guys never did tell me what this study trip was about." Ragna had said to everyone
"We're here to learn more about the Aura Beast that we talked about in Professor Ooblecks class a few days ago. We don't have an assignment relating to it but we agreed that it doesn't hurt to learn about it." Jaune had explained to Ragna
"You guys are learning about that huh. Well don't be surprised if you don't find much about it. The Aura Beast is one of those things that history and Remnant would prefer to forget about. While it lived, many Kingdoms had done disgraceful things to protect themselves. Not to mention that its very presence was able to make the Grimm stronger." Ragna had explained in a tone that shows he is disturbed by what he knows
"How do you know about that stuff about the Aura Beast Ragna?" Noel had asked
"My master made sure to drill that stuff into my head. He believes that we need to learn the dark and ugly side of our history if we are to learn from it." Ragna had said
"Your master sounds like a very wise man Ragna. I'm sure if we all follow the map on display we should be able to find something related to the Aura Beast." Pyrrha had said before walking towards the display map
After spending a few minutes reading the display map the group had seen to get to their intended destination. When all of them arrived, they had all seen a single painting of a large beast. The beast that is the subject of the painting is large with hundreds of arrows being shot towards it. And surround the creature are various Grimm and dark flames in the background. On the bottom of the painting stood six individuals of different sizes armed with different weapons prepared to fight the threat in front of them.
"The title of this picture is called "The rampage of the Aura Beast and the six that saved us" pretty simple name." Jaune had said
"You can't deny that it has a powerful meaning Jaune. The destruction that the Aura Beast had caused is catastrophic. The death count is immense and the fact that this all happened almost one 100 years ago. I can see why Remnant wants to forget about it." Pyrrha had said
"Hey what is the beast wall tactic that was used back then? There is no mention of it here." Jaune had said
"The beast wall tactic is a tactic that had caused the deaths of over twenty thousand Faunus. Back then when the Aura Beast had proved to be too strong everyone figured it would be best to adept and lessen the deaths it caused. One day the Aura Beast had appeared but it was in a docile state. So, several Kingdom Advisors had to come up with a plan to distract the Aura Beast to evacuate the civilians. Originally the plan was to lure the Aura Beast and the Grimm in the area to an isolated location giving the civilians a chance to escape. Unfortunately, a last-minute change had occurred and the advisors decided to create negativity in an area populated by the Faunus so the humans could have more time to escape while the Faunus fought the empowered Grimm and the Aura Beast. A few months later everyone discovered what happened and the advisors who organized the plan and set it up were exiled and disgraced. But to say that it worsened the relationship between Humans and Faunus would be a grand understatement." Ragna had explained with a sorrowful tone that showed he hated what happened back then
"That's awful, how could anybody do something like that?" Jaune had said disgusted by what he heard
"I agree I didn't know about it but after hearing it I wish I could forget it." Noel had said
"There are many stories like that, but that is the one that many Faunus remembers the most. Truth be told I can't blame them for hating us humans." Ragna had said in a solemn tone
"Well it doesn't look like we are able to learn more about the Aura Beast. Let's go back to Beacon." Pyrrha had said with everyone agreeing
"I still want to explore a few more things here in Vale. You guys go on ahead I will see you guys later." Ragna had said before leaving the group
(Vale Shopping District)
After getting some snacks from the Museum Jaune, Noel, and Pyrrha, had left the Museum and made their way to the Airship to Beacon. As the three of them were going to their destination the three of them had saw a policeman fly threw the block. When the three of them saw the policeman, he had torn clothes and a black eye.
"You can't do this to the men of the law!" Another policeman had said
"Just try me pig!" a familiar gruff voice had said
When the three of them looked at the source they saw that it was Ragna beating up the police officers. Another police officer tried to attack Ragna but he had dodged and slammed him to the ground with one hand. After a few seconds Ragna had looked around and saw that all the police officers are unconscious.
"Ragna what in the world were you doing! Do you have any idea what kind of trouble you could get into for assaulting a police officer?" Jaune had said in a panicked tone
"Relax Jaune I have a good reason for putting these pigs in their place." Ragna had said in a nonchalant tone that shows he doesn't care about what he has done to the police officers
"This is serious Ragna you could go to jail for this. Wait your our team leader that means we could go to jail to." Noel had said
"As I said it's no big deal if you guys would just listen to me for a minute." Ragna had said trying to calm everyone down
"Yes what kind of explanation do you have for this?" a stern female voice had said
When everyone had heard the voice all of them looked at the source and saw that it was Professor Goodwitch. The Professor had not only saw the beaten police officers but she also heard the commotion. Jaune, Noel, and Pyrrha had a sense of dread for what could happen next. Yet Ragna had a look on his face that shows that he is not afraid of what could happen.
"Ragna assaulting police officers is a serious offense that could not only get you expelled but inprisoned. This is your one chance to explain yourself or you're going to face severe consequences." Professor Goodwitch had said in a tone that shows she is not in the mood for nonsense
"I can do better than tell you Professor. In fact, I can introduce you to a witness. Hey get out here don't worry she's not like those cops!" Ragna had yelled before a young kid Faunus came out from the alley. The kid Faunus has some scales on his skin and sharp yellow eyes. From appearances alone the kid is a snake Faunus.
"This kid didn't have enough money to get some food at a food stall and the guy in charge gave him some food free of charge. However, these cops had started to stalk him and waited until they were alone in a dark alley and started to harass and attack him. I saw the whole thing and tried to stop it but these pigs said that the owner did it out of fear for the White Fang." Ragna had explained to Professor Goodwitch
"This hot head can't attack us just for doing an investigation. Besides we're the police and we represent the law." One of the policeman had said
"I'm a huntress and it is within my authority to deal with matters such as this. We can easily go to the food stall and the owner can testify to everything which should clear things up easily." Professor Goodwitch had said to everyone in a tone of authority
(The Airship)
It has been several hours since the situation with the cops and Ragna but everything has been cleared up for the most part. The good news is that Ragna and the snake Faunus was telling the truth and the food stall owner had confirmed the situation. The cops that had attacked the kid had gotten in severe trouble for not only harassing a kid which is not within their authority. But they also didn't follow official procedures to follow up on their suspicions. What has happened is a clear sign of racism against the Faunus and they were suspended. It was very fortunate that Professor Goodwitch was there to handle the situation like a true Huntress and she also gave the boy some lien for going through such an ordeal. Unfortunately for Ragna even though he did do the right thing for the kid, his methods were excessive and given the circumstances he should have gotten a Huntsman or Huntress to deal with the situation. Normally he would have gotten in a good deal of trouble instead he is not to leave Beacon for two weeks without one of the Professors to accompany him. Also, to make sure that this doesn't happen again Ragna and the group were given Professor Goodwitch's scroll number so they can contact her for emergencies.
"THIS SUCKS! I do the right thing and I got punished for it." Ragna had said angry about his probation
"Look on the bright side Ragna at least you still have your privileges and you just need to be accompanied by a Professor when you want to go out to Vale." Noel had said trying to cheer her leader up
"Yeah and besides its only for two weeks. I bet you can do that easily if you occupy your time properly." Jaune had said to Ragna
"That's right you still have it much better than those corrupt cops. Not to mention that Professor Goodwitch did have a point in that you went too far in dealing with those cops." Pyrrha had said
"I can't help it if I see a messed-up situation and decide to deal with it. If you guys saw me during my training days, then you would know that getting in trouble with the law is a common occurrence with me." Ragna had said
"Not a good quality to be proud of." Jaune had said in a low tone
"You said something Jaune?" Ragna had asked
"Nope I didn't say anything Ragna." Jaune had said (Being slightly more scared of Ragna than Bullet for a brief second)
"Well I suppose I can use this a chance to see more of Beacon and maybe catch up on my training. So maybe this won't be so bad after all." Ragna had said
(Ship Pier in Atlus)
The white Fang has been consistently attacking dust shops all around Remnant. For a good deal of time the attacks has been more frequent and grander in scale. Several stores that specialize in dust has been hit hard by the robberies and the Schnee dust corporation is feeling the burn even deeper. Currently the White Fang has caught wind of a shipment of weapons including dust that is to arrive soon. The plan is simple wait for the cargo and take everything which will set back the Atlus military and strengthen the White Fang.
"Alright everybody remember the plan we had all gone over. We hide in the area and wait for the delivery. Once it arrives we deal with everyone that comes and take the goods quickly before the police catches wind of what's going on here." One of the White Fang members had said to everyone
"Then it appears I came in the nick of time then." A young male voice had said causing the White Fang members to aim their guns at the source of the voice.
When the White Fang members had looked at the source of the voice they had all saw a young boy. The young boy is wearing a small purple suit with a purple top hat and a purple cape. Though two things made the young boy stand out which is his glasses and the large metallic figure that is with the young boy. The young boy is Carl Clover and he is on a personal mission.
"What's a kid like you doing here?" One of the White Fang Members had said while his gun is pointing at Carl
"I'm here due to personal circumstances that has occurred recently. I wish to gather information from you and it would be very convenient for me if you all could cooperate. If any of you could tell me the location of your higher ranked members, then I would greatly appreciate it." Carl had said causing some of the White Fang members to laugh
"You think we would give information like that to a kid? You've got some guts I'll give you that much." Another white Fang member had said
"You see I have recently gone over my father's notes and though the information is vague one thing stood out and it was various notes on the White Fang. So would you please tell me the location of your higher ranked members?" Carl had asked again slowly losing his patients
"Looks like the kid is trying to be a Huntsman. Sorry kid but you need to be taught a lesson." One of the White Fang members had said
"Well sis I tried. Guns lock." Carl had said before generating a small level of aura
After Carl said the guns to lock the White Fang members had looked at each other with some confusion before one of them decided to fire. What happened next was surprising because the guns would not fire. The rest of the White Fang members tried to fire their guns as well but all of them were locked preventing them from firing.
"Hmm it looks like your guns utilizes dust cartridges. Guns explode." Carl had said before generating his aura again
After Carl gave the command several guns that was used by the White Fang members had started to explode from the dust cartridges that was inside. The White Fang members that survived the explosion realized that Carl is more of a threat than he lets on and tried to charge at him along with several white Fang Members. The metallic figure had acted on its own after noticing the danger and extended its claws and attacked the White Fang members at a blinding speed. The one surviving White Fang member had gotten up and threw a grenade at Carl and after a second it exploded. The White Fang member had a smirk on his face but it was gone after seeing what happened next. The metallic figure had looked enlarged and after the smoke cleared the metallic torso had started to retract and inside showed Carl who looked unharmed.
"What are you?" The White Fang member had said
"Nothing for you to worry about." Carl had said before summoning a small puppet used it to shoot a small dart at the White Fang member making him unconscious
"Thanks sis if it wasn't for you I would've been hurt very badly. I'm still learning how to get a handle on my semblance and aura but it seems that I still have a long way to go." Carl had to the metallic figure
"Don't worry Ada I'll make sure to get some rest after I eat. We still have a long way to go before we come even close to finding father. The police will be here soon so we should at least explain what happened so they could know these White Fang members are up to no good." Carl had said before sitting down while hearing the police arriving
(A/N)
The reason I included the scene with Carl is to confirm that he is in this story and because it slightly relates to what happens early in the next chapter. However, a fair warning Carl will not be making another appearance anytime soon and he won't be a student. As for Carl's age, it is 13 in this story and his semblance is machine manipulation which is self-explanatory.
Also, if you guys think Carl's semblance is strong then Relius's semblance is terrifying in this story.
So read and review
Thank you
