Prologue
'If there is one thing, one thing I couldn't have predicted happening in my entire life.'
The assembly area takes the form of a glass-domed amphitheater with raised bleachers arranged in a circle around a circular stage that has a tall, ornate backdrop with blue lights.
The new students-male and females-chatter in whisper as eyes stare at the center of a large, open area of the stage where they stood in attention.
"Azura Tempest, Rosalyn Magenta, Evelyn Victoria, and Yuki White,"Called with a calm and firm tone of a man with tousled silver hair and sharp facial features; Ozpin, the current headmaster of Beacon Academy.
The chattering stopped as footsteps clang against the floor. Four students walk at a moderate speed toward the stage. Deep in their thoughts as they stood consciously in front of Ozpin. A legend that became the youngest headmaster of Beacon Academy in the history of Remnant.
"The four of you retrieved the black knight pieces."
The screen above them shows the picture of the four students, arranging as the Headmaster continues,
"From this day forward you will work together as Team Amethyst(AMEY) led by... Azura Tempest!" Ozpin declared with a smile as he looked at the newly formed team with a flash of glint in his eyes at Azura who stood a bit stiffly.
The students clapped as Rosalyn, with her red hair tied into a low messy ponytail brightly smiled, "Congratulations partner!" She said, nudging her shoulder into her, who also smiled but looked a bit strained as her silver eyes met those thin brown eyes of the Headmaster who stood in front of them with a cane in hand.
"Ha!" Evelyn roared a laugh, throwing her arms up with her lips forming into a toothy grin as her crimson eyes curved while her two black horns stick out from her layered of ashed blonde hair, "I know it's going to be you, congrats!"
Yuki, the tall silent black-haired boy just nodded his head in acknowledgment of her given leadership.
Giving their thanks to the headmaster, Azura walked away from the stage along with her newly formed team.
Yuki stayed silent while Rosalyn hummed cheerfully and Evelyn confidently walked with burning pride at Azura's side.
Many eyes looked at Azura as their feet clicked against the grayish-green marble floor. She walked at the front of their team, leading the team that undoubtedly would be in one of the top rank among freshmen.
However, while everyone marvel the birth of a strong team, Azura's eyes looked lost.
She did her best to walk naturally, briefly glancing to her left where a transparent bluish screen appeared in pixels.

Lowering her gaze, she stood alongside her team on the last row of the newly formed teams.
Mentally commanding the 'system' to close the notification, she open the menu screen.
Azura kept an eye on the stage while focusing on the screen that switched into a transparent black screen where neatly arranged letters of her options are lined down.
'It's not here,' She thought with a complicated look.
From the profile, skills, inventory, team, and tasks, there was almost nothing wrong with the menu except...
The Log out is missing.
"And finally, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long"
Cheers and low-whistle came out from the students as another four students consisting of four beautiful youthful girls walked toward the stage with different expressions on their faces. Unfazed by the crowd enthusiasm, except the red cloaked girl that awkwardly smile.
Just like how the previous teams reacted, they stood at attention before the headmaster,
"The four of you retrieved the white knight's pieces." The screen above shows the picture of the four students, similar from before, it arranged as the Headmaster's continue,
" From this day forward the four of you will work together as Team Ruby(RWBY) led by... Ruby Rose!"
The chattering had quieted down as Azura and the rest of her team neutrally looked at the four girls on the stage.
To others, this will feel like any other announcement with the exception of the younger girl, Ruby Rose, the prodigy and the youngest student to be ever accepted into Beacon Academy.
But to Azura,this was the beginning of their fate. The tales of those four girls who are fated to change this world from its darkest moments.
'Or what should be happening.'
As the crowd soon applauded, in awe at their beautiful appearances and influence, Weiss Schnee, with an appearance of a snow-like long hair that is pulled back into an off-center ponytail, her pale blue eyes looked at Ruby in shock or rather, in disbelief at what was announced while Yang Xiao Long, the energetic golden blonde beauty, throw her arms up in joy before jumping to her younger sister, hugging her with a large proud smile on her face, loudly congratulating her on becoming their Team leader.
And lastly, Blake Belladonna, who is quiet as Yuki, just nodded in acceptance. No doubt felt relief that it is not the Schnee girl that became their leader.
Ozpin smiled, eyes slightly curved as he glanced at the audience which Azura was sure looking at her team.
While the newly formed teams continue to cheer with the exception of a certain snow-like hair girl, and the polite claps of the few failures who are already heading out with their heads low, he mysteriously commented in, "Looks like things are shaping into an interesting year."
At Team Amethyst, Rosalyn slightly tilted her head, curiously peering at the young leader on the stage.
"Is it just me or that girl over there is a bit younger than all of us?" She softly whispered to her team while squinting her round eyes.
"Well..." Evelyn cupped her own chin as she eyed the young prodigy on the stage. "If the news didn't lie, 'Ruby Rose' should be the youngest student accepted in Beacon," She said. "Looks immature but I'm gonna trust this school's judgment that she fits with all of us"
"Ah. She must be very skilled to be accepted this early." Rosalyn clapped her hands together, eyes sparkling with profound interest.
As Azura quietly watched team Ruby walk away from the stage towards their respected position, Yuki somehow had stood behind her and said in a low tone, "According to the older students, she killed a Nevermore with her team in the initiation."
"..." Azura glanced at him, nodding briefly before looking ahead.
Evelyn's ear perked up, "A Nevermore? For real?" She turned her head to ask but saw him standing close to Azura, making the words she wanted to ask died in her throat.
'There he is again!' Why the hell every time she looked away, he keeps getting close to Azu? She growled in her heart while narrowing her eyes at Yuki. Warning him with her eyes to keep his distance before looking at her with a look Azura knows.
Azura briefly glanced at Yuki whose gaze directly met hers, seemingly ignoring Evelyn's look then at Evelyn's round eyes that looked stubborn and aggrieved at the same time.
It's like a puppy. She thought, her lips twitched and she answered, "Yes, Eve. What he said is correct."
Evelyn looked satisfied at hearing her nickname before smirking as if she just found something fun, "Now this feels like this is going to be a good year."
"Yeah!" Rosalyn popped out beside Evelyn, fist-pumping the air as she shouted, "We're going to become one of the best teams ever!"
With her grin widening, "Got that right!" She shouted, joining the excitement as she wrapped her arm around Rosalyn's shoulder, and fist pumps the air with her left hand, "We're going to be the strongest!"
"We are!"
Azura ignored the certain shout from team Juniper's energetic member as she raised her head and stared at the broken moon with an unreadable expression.
'Was to suddenly find myself stuck inside a game.'
