A quick heads up, in the volume 2 portion of this story I will be handling team RWBY's investigation a bit differently. What I can mention this much without giving anything away, two more people will be joining team RWBY along with Sun and Neptune.
Chapter 21 handling trust
(Training Room Entrance)
It has been a couple of days since Ruby had the food fight with her friends in the food hall. For the most part everything is back to normal but for this particular day Ruby is filled with a good deal of excitement. The reason for the excitement is not because of the classes or the new students it's because of Ragna. A couple of days prior Ragna had asked Ruby to a sparring match. Even though Ruby said yes, what got her excited is being told that Ragna had learned of his weapon's real name and its function. The day has arrived and Ruby is so excited that she rushed eating breakfast.
"Ooohhh, when is he coming? I hope nothing happened to him." Ruby said to herself maintaining her excited tone
"Someone looks excited." Yang said suddenly appearing
"Of course I'm excited, today is the day I get to see the new function of Ragna's new weapon. I bet that no one else has seen it so I'll be the first one. Do you have any ideas of what the new function can be?" Ruby asked her sister
"Well it really could be anything little sis. Still I'm curious about how Ragna learned of the weapon. I get the feeling that Ragna is hiding something, I don't want it to be another Blake situation." Yang told Ruby
"Well what could Ragna be hiding? He's not exactly keeping the fact that he's related to Jin a secret." Ruby said making a good point
"True, but he's so adamant about keeping the identity of his master a secret. We told him how we learned to fight." Yang said
"Are you mad that he keeps beating you in that board game?" Ruby asked in a teasing tone
"HEY! All those wins are nothing more than beginner's luck, it's bound to ware off soon." Yang said before muttering that the game is rigged
"Maybe it's just pure skill." Ragna said in a mocking tone before he appeared surprising Yang and Ruby
"Ragna you've arrived, are you ready for that spar?" Ruby said regaining her excitement
"Yep, sorry it took me so long to get here. I got a text from someone, so I have to meet up with my master later on today. Don't worry, I won't rush through our spar though Ruby." Ragna said to Ruby with Yang getting an idea
"Say Ragna, I know that Ruby agreed to this and all. But I'm getting a strange feeling in my gut that my little sister is being used as a guinea pig. I hope that you don't mind if I stick around for this little spar?" Yang asked while having an idea
"Sure it's no problem, in fact I was hoping someone would be around. You know, to make sure that nothing severe happens." Ragna said to Yang before the three of them entered the training room
(Training Room)
After the three of them entered the training room, they found very few students were inside. This was fortunate for Ragna, because him and Ruby now has a lot of space for their sparring match. As an added bonus, the less students that know about Ragna's new ability the better. Though a part of Ragna does want to spread the word of his newfound title Ragna the bloodedge, he figured that something like that will take some time.
"Alright, are you ready Ruby?" Ragna asked
"I sure am, let's see what your weapon can do." Ruby said ready for the spar to begin. Though before either of them could get started Yang started to speak
"Hold on little sis, I have an idea to make this fight a bit more interesting between you two." Yang said to Ruby
"Well what did you have in mind Yang?" Ragna asked
"Well I get that the main purpose of this sparring match is for you to test out the new function of your weapon. But it's still a sparring match at the end of the day. So how about we add a wager to this?" Yang suggested which intrigued Ragna
"Alright, I like the sound of that. So, what type of wager do you want?" Ragna asked after getting intrigued by Yang's idea
"If my little sister wins this sparring match, then you have to tell me and her the name of your mysterious master." Yang said
"Tch, why am I not surprised that my master's identity is what you'll request. Alright fine I'll do it. But what will I get if I win?" Ragna asked
"Then it can be anything you want, within reason of course." Yang said while mentally hoping that Ragna doesn't request anything perverted
"Hmm, alright you got a deal. Though once I win I want you to spread the word of my name that will be famous one day. The name is Ragna the Bloodedge." Ragna told Yang
"Alright you got yourself a deal. Ragna the Bloodedge does strangely suit you for some reason. Like it is a name that can belong to only you." Yang said agreeing to the terms
"Alright lets cut the chatter and get started. I really want to see Ragna's new weapon function." Ruby said before she readied herself
"Got it, don't hold back just because we're friends Ruby." Ragna said before he took up a stance
"Same to you Ragna the Bloodedge." Ruby said getting into Ragna's new title
After choosing a spacious spot in the training room both Ruby and Ragna started the spar by circling around each other. Once a brief second has passed Ruby started firing at Ragna with her Crescent Rose while it's in its gun form. Ragna reacted quickly and blocked each shot with his large sword. After blocking a few shots, Ragna decided to dash towards Ruby so he will be in a position to fight her in close quarters. Realizing what Ragna was doing, Ruby decided to transform her weapon into its scythe form and dashed towards Ragna herself.
Once the two had gotten closer to each other, the both of them had fought against each other at a furious speed. Each of Ruby's scythe attacks has been parried by Ranga's sword attack. Ragna was tempted to transform Bloodedge into its scythe form, but he knows that Ruby will be able to counter whatever Ragna can think of in terms of scythe attacks. So for now Ragna decided to keep Bloodedge in its sword form. After several seconds of Ruby and Ragna parrying each other's attacks, Ragna decided to jump back to make space between the two. After making the space Ragna decided to raise his right hand.
"Looks like I need to kick things up a notch against you Ruby. RESTRICTION RELEASE!" Ragna said before he released the seal on his arm
"Releasing your full power when the fight gets intense. That is so cool." Ruby said in an excited tone before she ran towards Ragna with her semblance
Once Ruby had gotten close, she attacked Ragna from all around him. This proved effective since Ruby's semblance allowed her to avoid Ragna's attacks despite the Ragna releasing his full power. Ragna has continuously tried to attack Ruby with his increased power, but each attack missed and he was continuously getting hit by Ruby's scythe attacks. After a few seconds of getting hit, Ragna decided to stab his sword to the ground. After he did that, Ragna used an aura burst from the ground using his sword. The burst was strong enough to stagger Ruby stopping her next attack. Ruby being staggered was what Ragna wanted, since he decided to attack Ruby with his sword.
Each attack that Ragna landed has drained Ruby of her aura, and it transferred to Ragna. Slowly but surely Ragna has gotten stronger from each hit and the injuries that he received from Ruby's earlier attacks has healed up. Acting quickly, Ruby had used her semblance to increase her speed so she can dodge an upcoming attack from Ragna. Ruby was successful in dodging the attack but she quickly realized that she did so by the skin of her teeth.
"Looks like it's time for the main event." Ragna said before he started to take a deep breath
"This is it, I'm excited but at the same time nervous. I don't know what his weapon can do, so I need to be ready for anything." Ruby thought while on guard with Crescent Rose
"BLOODEDGE!" Ragna yelled causing a strong burst of aura that was felt by Ruby and Yang. After the burst of aura Ragna's sword Bloodedge started to glow black and red at a rapid speed
After yelling out his weapons name Ragna felt a strong surge of Aura. Words couldn't properly describe the sense of power that Ragna was feeling. But what he can describe is that he felt stronger than he has ever been. This sensation of power felt good to Ragna, and this is without the use of his trump card. Ragna was briefly curious about how this power can compare to another Huntsman or Huntress, but he decided to put his focus back into the spar against Ruby.
For a brief moment Ruby felt slightly overwhelmed by the surge of power that Ragna displayed. However, it was overshadowed by her excitement at seeing an awesome new function of a weapon that is similar to her uncle Qrow. Ragna had decided to swing his sword at Ruby with the plan to do an aura stream attack. When Ragna swung his sword a stream of aura was launched but the aura stream attack was much larger than it was before. Ruby noticed that the aura stream looked like it has multiple beast heads but refocused on the fight. Thinking quickly Ruby decided to use her semblance to dodge the attack but was barely successful.
Before Ruby could do a counter attack, Ragna quickly appeared behind her and swung his sword at her landing a direct hit. The attack was strong enough for her to be launched back a good distance. Though after the hit, a lot more aura was drained from Ruby than expected and Ragna felt a lot stronger. Ragna decided to attack from a distance while he has the chance and decided to use an aura stream attack. Though before Ragna can successfully use his attack, Bloodedge stopped glowing and all of the power that Ragna had was gone. To further add to this Ragna himself had suddenly felt drained of all his strength and almost collapse to the ground. Both Ruby and Yang had ran to Ragna and caught him before he fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Yang asked
"I'm not sure, After I used Bloodedge's special function I felt powerful. But now I feel exhausted and drained." Ragna explained to the girls
"Hmm, well since you recently discovered that power-up. Maybe your body isn't used to it yet since this is likely your first time using it." Ruby said figuring out what likely happened
"Hmm, well the rabbit did say that it that it would tire me out. But I didn't think it would tire me out this much." Ragna muttered though Yang barely heard some of the words
"Did you say something Ragna?" Yang asked wondering what Ragna was muttering about
"Huh, oh it was nothing. So uh how would we classify the results of this fight?" Ragna asked the girls
"Well nobody won, and nobody lost either. So I guess that we can consider this a draw. Will you be OK Ragna?" Ruby asked
"Yeah, I'll be alright I can handle a little fatigue. Well I supposed it's a good thing that things ended the way they did. Because I have to go and meet with someone a little later on." Ragna said to Ruby and Yang
"Do you want some company?" Yang asked in a slightly curious tone
"Nah, it's just a quick meeting so don't worry about it." Ragna responded causing Yang to be suspicious of him
"Alright, well be safe Ragna." Yang said to Ragna
"Alright, thanks for the spar Ruby. See you two around." Ragna said before he left the training room
"Well that was a good match. Well I healed up quickly, though I do wonder what we can do for the rest of the day." Ruby told her sister before she noticed a smirk on Yang's face
"Say Yang, why do you have a smirk on your face?" Ruby asked Yang
"Little sis, I have an idea that will fill the rest of the day. The idea, involves solving the mystery that is Ragna." Yang said to Ruby

Weiss and Blake had spent several hours has spent a great deal of time talking about various parts of their past. Even though it did bother Weiss slightly that she learned Blake used to be a member of the White Fang. Weiss had ultimately let it go since she understood the fact that Blake practically grew up in the White Fang and it is a crucial part of her life. Something that Weiss understands with her connection to the Schnee Dust Company. After coming to a mutual understanding, the two decided that more people should know about Blake being a Faunus. Following Ruby's suggestion, the both of them decided to tell people that they consider friends. With each of them planning to tell a different group of friends. At the moment, the plan is that Blake tells team BLST and Weiss tells team JNPR.
"Alright I just have to be calm. Team BLST are good people and they seem like the understanding type. Tao might know but I doubt she told anyone. I just need to be calm, and honest. No more lies from this point on." Blake said to herself before knocking on team BLST's room door. After a few seconds, the door opened and it was Amane who opened it. When Blake looked inside she saw all the members of team BLST doing their own thing. Tao was eating messily while Bang and Bullet was doing push ups.
"Oh hello Blake, is everything OK?" Amane asked
"Everything is fine Amane, I was having a few things on my mind." Blake said in a nervous tone while looking around nervously
"Is everything OK Blake? Would you like to come in?" Amane asked
"Yes Amane, in fact there is something I would like to tell all of you since the whole team is here." Blake said before she entered team BLST's room
"So what do you have to tell us, are you sure everything is OK?" Amane asked in a concerned yet curious tone
"Everything is fine it's just that. Well, I need everyone to listen for a bit." Blake said getting Bang's, Bullet's, and Tao's attention
"Everyone when we first met I wasn't completely honest with you guys." Blake said
"Well what do you have to tell us?" Bang asked with some concern in his voice
"What I have to tell you all is that . . . I'm a Faunus." Blake said expecting a barrage of responses from team BLST. Though after a few seconds Blake slowly realized that she was not getting the reaction that she was expecting
"Um . . . did any of you guys hear me? I told you all that I'm a Faunus." Blake said expecting a reaction of some kind
"We heard you Blake, we just don't care. Besides all of us knew you were a Faunus anyway." Bullet said which caught Blake by surprise
"Not exactly what I was expecting. So tell me, how long have each of you known? Or better yet, how did you guys know I was a Faunus?" Blake asked team BLST
"Well you smell like meow, so it was kind of obvious." Tao said plainly
"I've noticed that your bow twitch's occasionally. So it's very likely that you have a set of cat ears. My experience among many Faunus as well as my training from Ronin-Gai has allowed me to pick up on the subtle traits Faunus tends to have." Bang said to Blake oblivious to her awkward look
"You have several habits and traits that Faunus are likely to have, So it is likely that are a Faunus. I told your teammates that I knew this and to be honest, I'm surprised that they didn't catch on sooner." Amane said which stunned Blake further
"Well why didn't you guys say anything sooner?" Blake asked slightly concerned that team BLST knew. Though she wasn't surprised that Tao knew since Blake realized from a few days ago that Tao figured out she's a Faunus
"Well we saw that you were working hard to keep it a secret and it wasn't in our place to tell anyone. Even though I've lived in Ronin-Gai for most of my entire life, I'm still aware of the discrimination the Faunus faces. Though I do admit that I know nothing of your past. From what I know of you so far, I can tell you are a good person. So you have my trust." Bang told Blake
"I see, thank you Bang. How do you feel about this Bullet?" Blake asked
"Back in my days as a mercenary we didn't care about whether or not you are a Faunus. The only thing we do care about with people who are part of our group is whether or not you can get the job done and if you'll have our backs. I see that your team trusts you so your good by my book." Bullet said assuring Blake
"I don't really care regardless meow." Tao said bluntly
"You see Blake, I know it took a lot of strength to tell us about yourself like this. But if you give certain people a chance. Then you'll find new friends in people." Amane said to Blake
"Thank you everyone, I really appreciate this." Blake said in a grateful tone

For the past few days Jin has been focused on two things, his studies and his training. Recently though, Jin has been bothered about something regarding Ragna, Makoto, and Blake. He knows that Ragna and Makoto was at the church with Blake and Sun, though what bothers Jin is what they did afterwards. Jin knows that they managed to stop the robbery but the question is how they found out. Not to mention that Jin has a strong suspicion that they were keeping some specific details a secret. Jin decided to investigate so he will know the full story. Because Jin has a strong suspicion that there is more to their actions than goodwill.
"Hmm I need to be subtle with this as much as I can. I know that they are hiding something, but how do I figure it out?" Jin thought to himself for a bit. After a few seconds has passed a female voice has called out to him
"Jin, is that you?" A female voice had said. When Jin turned to see the source of the voice he sees that it is Tsubaki. Someone Jin has known for years.
"Tsubaki, I'm not surprised to see you here. How have you been doing for the past few months? I've heard that you're a student of Atlus Academy." Jin said to Tsubaki
"I've been doing great Jin. I'm a member of team KKMT, and my studies has been going very well. Not to mention that my fighting capabilities has made a lot of improvements since we last met." Tsubaki briefly explained to Jin.
"I see, it's nice to know that you're doing good for yourself." Jin said to Tsubaki
"I'm glad to hear you say that Jin. By the way, what are you doing around here?" Tsubaki said
"There is something that's been bothering me. I decided to go and investigate. Tell me, did Makoto tell you what happened after she got back a few days ago?" Jin asked
"Hmm, well I remember her telling me that she had to see the headmaster but that's just it. Is everything OK Jin?" Tsubaki asked in a concerned tone
"Everything is fine, I just need to figure out something that's all, I'll see you around." Jin said but before he left Tsubaki had stopped him
"Jin wait, I'm curious about something. Makoto told me that you've been having problems with your team leader. Is it something that you want to talk about?" Tsubaki asked maintaining her concerned tone
"It is an issue that I do not wish to delve into Tsubaki." Jin bluntly said to Tsubaki
"I understand, but if you change your mind you can talk with me at any time." Tsubaki said before giving Jin her scroll number and before Jin left
"Jin, I hope that you'll talk to me about things that's bothering you." Tsubaki muttered when Jin was too far away

It did not take too long for Ruby to recover from her spar with Ragna. Though right now both Ruby and her sister have found themselves on a special mission. The focus of the mission is to learn more about the mystery surrounding Ragna. Yang has noticed that whenever the topic of Ragna's master was brought up, Ragna would either change the subject or get away from Yang. Even though Ragna and Yang played a few board games Ragna always won. This time though does present an opportunity for Yang and by extension Ruby. When Ragna mentioned that he was meeting somebody, Yang got curious and decided to follow him with her little sister for company.
"Yang, I know that the thought of discovering a possibly cool secret sound awesome. But don't you think that this is a bit of an invasion of privacy?" Ruby asked
"Look at it like this sis, by us snooping we can learn what Ragna's secret is. If it turns out to be big, then we can help him deal with it so it won't be a big burden to him and avoid another Blake situation. Though if it turns out to be small, then we can simply ignore it." Yang said explaining her reasoning to Ruby
"Are you doing this because of those reasons, or because your too curious for your own good?" Ruby asked summing up Yang's intent
"If you do this I'll give you my dessert for the rest of the month." Yang quickly responded bargaining with her little sister
"OK you got a deal, though why can't I use my semblance to follow him?" Ruby asked
"Because your semblance leaves rose pedals. If Ragna sees them, then he'll figure out that we're following him. To do this right, we have to be stealthy and make sure nobody sees us." Yang briefly explained
"I see your point." Ruby said before the two proceeded to continue following Ragna
"Hmm, I know I'm being followed. But who and where are they? I need to watch myself before I meet up with master Jubei." Ragna thought when he noticed that he was being followed
After noticing that he was being followed, Ragna decided to take different routes trying to avoid his pursuers. Yang and Ruby was slightly confused by Ragna's choice in routes but didn't think on it. After a few minutes, Ragna had decided to blend into a crowd and then quickly get into an alleyway that was deserted. Ruby and Yang barely noticed Ragna going into the alleyway. The sisters had decided to get to the other side of the alley to prevent Ragna from escaping their notice.
Ragna was tempted to use his sword to launch himself to the top of the building. However, he was still too weak from using Bloodedge's special function. Ragna decided to wait until he had the chnce to blend into the crowd again. Ragna did not know who was following him. But he suspected it was the suspended cops from a while ago looking for a rematch. Ragna wanted to fight them in the open, but he wanted the cops to be in a state of confidence. So once Ragna beats the daylights out of them, then it will be satisfying to break their confidences.
After a few seconds Ragna had noticed aa red blur near the end of the alley and decided to go there. Once Ragna had gotten to the end of the alley, the only thing he can see is the numerous people that is nearby. Ragna decided to take a look around to make sure he didn't miss anything. After a few seconds Ragna had noticed a small trail of rose pedals that led to a small box.
"Hmm I wonder who could be hiding in this box?" Ragna sarcastically said out loud before removing the box. After he removed the box he noticed that it was Ruby hiding inside the box. After seeing the box removed Ruby had a surprised look on her face and Ragna visualized an exclamation point above her head. Once she was discovered Ruby quickly stood up and tried to explain herself
"Hi Ragna, I was just trying to uh, test me stealth skills." Ruby poorly explained to Ragna
"If you're here then your older sister shouldn't be too far behind." Ragna quickly and accurately guessed when he noticed Yang moving closer to them
"Well we were just um, OK I got nothing." Yang quickly said
"Why in the world did you decided to follow me? Are you trying to know who I'm meeting with?" Ragna sked
"Come on Ragna it's not our fault . . . well not completely. It's just that if I asked you then would try to dodge the question. I just dragged Ruby to this, so all blame goes to me since it was my idea." Yang said confessing what she did
"What were you guys trying to accomplish by doing this? Did you guys think that I was going through a big problem or something like Blake did?" Ragna said to the sisters
"Don't be too mad at them Ragna, you know how girls are." A male voice said that caught the three of them by surprise. When they looked at the source of the voice they saw a short figure who is wearing a yellow jacket and is a Faunus.
"Master, what are doing showing yourself like this?" Ragna said shocked at seeing Jubei
"Well I had a hunch that these two girls are good people. So I figured that there's no harm in showing myself to these two." Jubei responded to Ragna
"So you must be his master, My name is Yang Xiao-Long." Yang said introducing herself
"My name is Ruby Rose leader of team RWBY." Ruby said introducing herself
"My name is Jubei, I already know that you met my sister-in-law Yang." Jubei said introducing himself to the sisters
"Huh, um can you repeat that please, I thought I heard you say Jubei." Ruby said to Jubei
"You heard right young lady, I'm Jubei. Or as most of you guys know me as, one of the six legendary heroes. I know I don't look like much but I'm the real deal." Jubei said in a casual tone to a stunned Yang and Ruby
"Oh here we go, wait for it." Ragna thought to himself before Ruby and Yang responded in a way Ragna expected
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT." Ruby and Yang yelled at the revelation that Ragna's master is Jubei, one of the six legendary heroes
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I'M MEETING JUBEI THE LEGEND HIMSELF. ARE YOU REALLY HIM, CAN I TAKE A PICTURE, DID YOU REALLY TRAIN RAGNA? DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HAKUMEN? HE SAVED MY FRIEND'S LIFE RECENTLY." Ruby asked in a burst of excitement and speed.
"yes, no, yes, yes, and It's nice to know he saved your friend's life." Jubei answered in a calm way
"The legend himself, I have so many things to ask you. Like what type of adventures did you go on? Also, how strong is the Aura Beast? Do you think you can give me a few tips?" Yang also asked some questions but in a calmer way
"I went on a lot of adventures, I need to see how you fight in order for me to give you some tips. As for the Aura Beast, well that is a bit complicated to explain." Jubei answered
"Ragna, I can't believe that you hid such a cool fact from us, your friends. I am so disappointed in you." Ruby said after calming down and in a pouty tone
"Yeah, why didn't you tell us?" Yang asked Ragna
"Would you guys believe me? Besides he asked me not to tell people if I can avoid it." Ragna answered
"Yeah, it's a bit complicated so me being Ragna's master can't be told to everyone. Sorry I've got my reasons." Jubei told Yang and Ruby
"Wait, your Celica's brother-in-law. Then that means . . . I'm so sorry for what happened to your family and friends." Yang said in a somber tone remembering the story that was told to her and Weiss
"Sister Celica told you that story huh?" Ragna said after noticing the look on Yang's fce
"You didn't do anything wrong so don't worry about it. Besides big strides are being made to lessen the divide, so some good did come out of it. Not to mention I didn't give in to the cycle of hate and revenge." Jubei said to Yang
"What are you guys talking about?" Ruby asked
"I'll tell you later sis." Yang said
"Now onto business, Celica told me, you wanted to speak with me?" Jubei sked
"Yes I did, What is up with keeping Jin attending Beacon a secret from me? Not to mention that crybaby has a secret power that hasn't awakened? Also the secret functions of my sword, did you know any of this?" Ragna asked in a demanding tone
"Calm down kid, yes I knew about most of that." Jubei said which shocked the three of them
"Why didn't you tell me? Did you know my weapon's real name is Bloodedge?" Ragna said maintaining his tone
"For Jin, I figured that you needed to adjust to surprises once in a while. As for your weapon, I knew it had a hidden function, but I didn't know it's real name nor what that function is. Besides you weren't ready to know all of that stuff yet." Jubei responded
"Then what about Jin's hidden power?" Ragna said which intrigued the sisters even more
"Sorry but Jin has to hear it first. Once I tell him, then I'll tell you. But above everything else he has to know first. I take it a certain someone told you that much as a warning." Jubei said wanting to avoid names
"A warning about what?" Ragna asked in an impatient tone
"You're not ready to know that stuff yet. But I suggest you take what she tells you to heart. She may act a bit snobbish at times. But she does have the tendency to want to bring out the best in people." Jubei said
"Jin has a hidden power, that sounds so cool." Ruby said
"I can't believe it." Ragna said
"By the way, I know it's likely he barely remembers me, but how is Jin doing?" Jubei asked
"The crybaby is arrogant, I've been trying to put him in his place yet I keep getting stopped." Ragna said remembering the times people stop his fights with Jin
"That is only part of the story master Jubei." Yang said
"Considering what happened 8 years ago I'm not surprised. Still it is nice that Jin is doing well at least. As much as I like to keep talking to you Ragna I have to get going." Jubei said before getting stopped by Ruby and Yang
"Wait, I know it's a bit much to ask. But do you think you can have a quick spar with us?" Ruby asked
"Sorry but a spar would draw too much attention and I would very much like to avoid that. If it makes you feel better, I know that the Vytal tournament is coming up and since my apprentice is likely participating I'll be sure to watch to see how each of you do." Jubei said which excited the sisters
"Thank you master Jubei, team RWBY will give it our all. We'll also not tell people this, ooh this is so exciting." Ruby said in an exciting tone
"Hey master, I almost forgot to tell you. I have discovered a title I want the people to know me as. When I get my name out there, I want my title to be Ragna the Bloodedge." Ragna told Jubei
"Hmm Ragna the Bloodedge huh, that sounds fitting. It was nice seeing you again and it was nice meeting you two, Ruby and Yang." Jubei said before he jumped high up and disappeared
"Your master is so nice Ragna, I wish you could have told us sooner." Ruby said
"Yeah, but it's as I said earlier. If I told you guys none of you would have believed me. Not to mention he asked me not to tell people. He never told me why but all he said is that it was very important that I kept it a secret." Ragna briefly explained to Ruby and Yang
"Well when you put it that way, I can see why you had to keep it a secret. But you know, I wish you could have trusted us a bit more." Yang said to Ragna
"Well considering that you guys decided to follow me like you guys had nothing better to do. I think it's safe to say that I was right to be cautious." Ragna said causing Yang and Ruby to chuckle nervously
"Well regardless as such I did what I came here to do. Let's get back to the Academy, and remember don't tell anyone about who my master is." Ragna said before the three of them left
(Professor Ozpin's Office)
After spending some time asking around Jin has learned that the Headmaster is currently in his office. To get a peace of mind Jin wants to learn what exactly his brother and teammate told the headmaster. Though Jin knows he has to be subtle about his plan because if Jin pushes his luck it will likely cause problems in the long run. Not to mention that if they didn't tell Ozpin anything, then Jin's questioning would put suspicion on them. After the elevator Jin was in had stopped, Jin entered and noticed that Professor Ozpin was doing some paperwork. After Jin entered, the headmaster noticed him and greeted him with a smile.
"Ah Mr. Kisaragi, this is a pleasant surprise. How might I help you today?" Professor Ozpin asked taking a small break from his work load
"Professor Ozpin, I know that my teammates had managed to stop the White Fang at the docks a few days ago. In your opinion do you have any ideas how they could have known about that? Or why they would interfere instead of calling the police?" Jin asked the headmaster
"Why do you wish to know Jin?" Thea headmaster asked Jin
"I want to know so if my team gets anymore bright ideas, then I'll be able to stop them before they get into a situation that is too dangerous for them. I have a strong suspicion that my team leader will try something, despite being told not to." Jin explained to Professor Ozpin
"Hmm well I do see you point, though to be honest there are numerous ways people could catch wind of a rumor about an upcoming robbery. Though I can't disclose to you what was discussed with your teammates, please understand." Professor Ozpin told Jin, though gave Jin a subtle hint
"I understand Professor." Jin responded but caught on to the hint
"Now as for the reason why, there could be quite a number of reasons. Maybe it could be for altruistic reasons." Professor Ozpin said
"You might be right Professor, thank you for your time." Jin said before he left. Though before Jin went too far his sword had glowed slightly. After the glow the word maiden had popped up in Jin's mind. Jin was tempted to question the headmaster but decided against it. Though the headmaster had noticed Jin's Aura Weapon glow but kept it to himself.
"Could his Aura Weapon be sensing Amber?" Professor Ozpin had thought to himself after Jin left
"Hmm what exactly happened at the docks. If they told the headmaster everything then this wouldn't bother me. Yet I have a strong feeling that they didn't. What do I know so far? Blake is a Faunus, and she's defensive of the White Fang, why would she be defensive unless. . . . so that's it. I think I figured out your secret Blake." Jin thought before he made the decision to confront Blake
(Team RWBY's room)
"The both of you look excited about something. I assume the both of you had an eventful day?" Weiss asked Ruby and Yang
"Well, I had an eventful sparring match against Ragna and I saw the function of his weapon Bloodedge. Believe me when I tell you Weiss, it is so cool, in fact it is so awesome it will put your glyphs to shame." Ruby said in an excited tone while keeping the identity of Ragna's master a secret (though it's much easier said than done)
"I can vouch for Ruby Weiss, if Ragna uses it against us in the tournament, then we would all be in a world of trouble. A silver lining that we have is that Ragna is still inexperienced with it. Not to mention that it tires him out a lot." Yang told Weiss
"The thug used you as a guinea pig, why am I not surprised Ruby? I hope you didn't get too injured from the whole ordeal." Weiss said to Ruby
"Trust me Weiss, I am not injured. In fact I believe that I've gotten stronger from the experience. Not to mention that we learned a bit more about Ragna's abilities." Ruby said
"Is that so, well we'll just have to keep all that in mind for the upcoming tournament." Weiss responded
"By the way Weiss, how did you spend your day?" Ruby asked
"Well after getting Blake's permission, we decided to go and tell our team of friends about Blake being a Faunus. I told team JNPR and Blake told team BLST." Weiss told her team which slightly surprised them.
"Oh really, well how did they react?" Ruby asked
"From what Blake told me, all of team BLST already knew that Blake was a Faunus. I know that Amane already knew, but I had no idea that Bang, Bullet, and Tao knew as well." Weiss briefly explained to Ruby and Yang
"Well how did team JNPR react?" Ruby asked
"Jaune was slightly happy that I trusted him and his team with what I told him. Honestly, it went as well as I expected." Weiss answered Ruby
"Which reminds me, you never did mention how you met Jin." Yang said to Weiss
"Your right I didn't." Weiss bluntly responded
"Well, will you tell us?" Ruby asked
"No" Weiss bluntly answered
"Awww" Ruby said in a despondent tone. After a brief second Yang had moved closer to Ruby's ear and started to whisper to her
"Don't worry sis, I have an idea on how to get Weiss to tell us the story." Yang said before she started to speak to Weiss after noticing that Blake isn't around
"Say Weiss, where is Blake?" Yang asked
"After we told the people we wanted to tell, Blake decided to go over her notes in the library." Weiss answered
"Well the library is a nice quiet place. So it makes sense for her to study there." Yang said
(Beacon Hallway)
Blake has spent a good deal of time in the library going over her notes. Though she spent a good deal of time studying for the upcoming classes. She also went over her notes on the White Fang. Blake is still bothered by the fact that the White Fang she knew since she was a child would work with someone like Roman. Blake feels some level of guilt keeping her friends in the dark. But she knows the White Fang better than anyone at the school and if left alone, the White Fang will bring chaos to the people. The White Fang will threaten the order of Remnant, and Adam will be an essential part of it.
"There has to be a way to deal with the White Fang. I know I have to study to be a Huntress, but I can't leave this alone." Blake thought to herself. As she was on her way to her team's dorm room she saw Jin. Who looked as if he was waiting for her.
"Jin, what are you doing here?" Blake asked in a tone that indicates that she doesn't want to deal with Jin at the moment
"As you caught on by now, I know that you're a Faunus Blake. I also know that you, Sun, and my teammates fought against the White Fang not too long ago." Jin said Blake causing her to mentally be on guard
"What are you getting at Jin?" Blake asked prepared for anything
"I know that a while ago you have defended the White Fang greatly. It's not illegal, neither is being a Faunus which is something you went out of your way to hide." Jin told Blake
"Your point?" Blake said slowly losing her patience
"After putting together the facts that I have. It is very likely that you have some sort of connection to the White Fang. Since a lot of things you say imply that you know them on a personal level." Jin said which slightly shocked Blake
"You can't prove anything." Blake said to Jin
"Your right I can't, You haven't made any attempts to hurt anyone so I have no reason to tell any of the professor's about my suspicions especially Ozpin. I don't care what you think of me but know this, if your connection to the White Fang hurts or threatens the people in any way. I will not hesitate to bring you down, I'll give you a fair chance but I will not sit by and ignore this completely. Am I understood?" Jin said to Blake
"I understand Jin." Blake said before Jin left leaving Blake alone
"Honestly Jin, I don't know what the White Fang will do. That's what scares me the most." Blake thought before she went to her team's room
(A/N)
In one of the RWBY episodes it was implied that Weiss told Jaune that Blake is secretly a Faunus. So I figured that this chapter will confirm that Weiss told team JNPR. The next chapter will be a side chapter and it will focus on a certain red person with a pink haired person.
So read and review
Thank you
