New day New life

November 16th, 2180– One of the Legionnaires, overseeing today's shooting practice, told me about an incident regarding 47's skills at the range. The targets do not seem to present a challenge difficult enough, and 47 was shooting various patterns, and what the instructor referred to as "smileys", in the cardboard targets. Again his skills seem perfect, but his mind has it's own ways. There is work to do yet!

Forty-seven looked down at his watch for the sixth time since he had gotten on the airship that was packed with hunters in training. He looked down at his appearance which was a bit different than his usual attire which was usually his suit, tie, and gloves - now reduced to nothing more than a pair of tan slacks and a white button shirt. His hair was still combed neatly while he stood near the window watching as the mountains passed by.

He had shown up in Vale about two days before the airship to pick them up arrived. He had stayed nearby so when it did arrive he could just walk over and board the ship after placing his bag with the other luggage. He had to leave his weapons inside the bag he brought as he had no way to keep them concealed which was a rule when boarding. He had no choice in the matter so he parted with them and made sure that they wouldn't be stolen when they land.

The constant chatter all around him was just a mixed mumble to him while he waited for arrival, there was only one voice he could hear over all the chatter and that was the voice coming from the blonde with long golden hair and yellow bracelets around her wrists. She was currently crushing a smaller girl in red with a hug, from her facial expression he could tell that the blond must be crushing her spine before being dropped down. Forty-seven looked away and back out the window finding no need to be listening to them.

Eventually, as they began leaving he could see the Academy far off in the distance, the appearance itself resembled a castle of some sorts while the headmaster sat in his office located in the tower that overlooked Beacon. Above the headmaster was the top of the tower which is surmounted by a number of green spheres or lights - possibly the beacon after which the academy was named - as well as an intricate clockwork mechanism consisting of many interlocking cogs and gears. It was an impressive sight when one is to see it for the first time. He looked away as he saw a hologram appear replacing the news that spoke of another white fang attack during a protest.

He looked at the hologram to see a woman that appears to be a middle-aged and have very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green while a pair of thin ovular glasses sat on her face. She then had dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar. Her clothing was a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flared in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black-brown stockings, then black boots.

He glanced at the cape she wore as not many hunters wore them. He could see that it was purple inside and black on the outside. He could see that the cut is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronzed beads on the back. He could almost see an emblem that looked like a tiara but he could not get a good look. Whatever it was it was her personal symbol.

She began welcoming them to the academy and how the world was in a time of 'peace', how they are the privileged few who will be trained to uphold that peace. Forty-seven just tuned it out and stayed looking out the window as they flew over Vale and began their trip towards the Academy. As they did many of them began coming towards the window to look out in aw as they crowded around him, he stepped away stepping through them and heading to another part of the ship away from everyone as he passed the golden blond and redheaded girl. He could hear them make a remark as he walked away from the window and everyone else.

"Well, I guess the view isn't for everyone." The blonde said as she looked at the redhead who kept looking out the window.

"Nice moment while it lasted, I think." He heard her say as he walked away.

After finally arriving in the docking ports at the cliffside of Beacon the ramp began to slowly extend out while Forty-seven stood there waiting as he could hear the others with them. As soon as the ramp touched the platform he began walking off after the doors opened up.

As he walked across he began looking around at the scenery of Beacon. He saw across the way was a long path that is the main avenue which leads up to the main academy buildings where the amphitheater was and where they had to go as first years. He listened to when they gave them directions before landing so he would know where he was supposed to go, but first, he was going to need to collect his bag. He stepped onto the platform and began walking towards the area that they were supposed to get their bags and suitcases filled with whatever it is that they brought.

He looked around as they unloaded everything for people to come and collect with their IDs. He walked over and showed them his ID as the man nodded. "Wait just one moment Mr. Arc we will have your bag in a minute," He walked off as Forty-seven walked away letting the people behind him go and get their things, he stood at the pick up area waiting for his bag just as he saw many metal suitcases being pushed away on a luggage trolley by two men wearing black suits while a girl dressed in white followed with a type of attitude he's seen before surrounding her. He ignored her as the chances of even speaking to her were very slim as he had no reason or business to even approve her.

"Um, excuse me," Forty-seven looked over as he heard the voice that was speaking to him. He turned back and looked seeing the same man from before with a slightly worried look on his face. He probably wasn't going to like what he was about to hear.

"What is it?" He asked looking at him straight in the eyes making him even more nervous. The man just coughed as he began stuttering.

"W-well you see...um your luggage," He kept stumbling over his words making Forty-seven pinch the bridge of his nose before speaking up.

"What about my bag, out with it."

"W-we can't seem to find it." He said as he flinched seeing the look in Forty-seven's eyes hearing that his weapons had just been lost. He quickly began to hold his hands up speaking about how they would look for it and that it must be on one of the other airships. He would just have to wait or he could come back later when they finished up in the amphitheater where it would be in the lost and found. He took a breath as he rubbed his eyes walking away having decided that he would come back for the bag as he would have to be in the amphitheater soon so they could give their speech to try and inspire all the new huntsman.

"The speech shouldn't go more than an hour or two so I should be able to get my things after." He said to himself after a while having walked down from the docking platform and taking the path toward Beacon. As he was walking he passed by that same girl from before as she screamed out at the redhead girl from before as he now noticed she was wearing a red cape with a hood.

"Uhhhhaaaahhh-Chooooo!" The redhead sneezed as there was a cloud of red dust all around her, she set it off and it started a small chain reaction that caused the other dust that was exposed in the cases to go off giving a slight chill, jolt, and burn. Once it was over Forty-seven stood there waiting for the slight ring in his ear to stop. He blinked a few times before shaking the soot off of his clothes looking perfectly fine while he began checking his clothes for any damage as they were all he had at the moment. As he was looking himself over the two had begun arguing while he saw another girl walk over holding the bottle of fire dust that must have caused the small explosion. He ignored their little squabble while he finished up and realize that the only weapon he ha was gone.

He felt that the knife he had on his belt was gone. He looked around to check if it had been blown off and was nearby. Luckily he saw that the round sheath was laying on the ground near the redhead who just happens to fall on it as she slumped on the ground while the two girls were now gone. He honestly didn't like how things were going as he wanted to keep to himself and get things over with, but now he has had to deal with a number of things, the current one is getting his knife back from the girl currently laying on it.

Forty-seven sighed and began walking towards the girl as she just laid there with her eyes closed and looking upset. As he stood over her his shadow began covering her eyes making her open hem and look up at him. He stood there waiting before he spoke out.

"Hey, you're on my knife." He held his hand out motioning to her. She just looked confused until finally feeling the object that was currently under her.

"O-oh, I'm sorry." She sat up and turned around to see the black sheath. She picked it up and began looking at it before holding it up to him. Forty-seven reached down and grabbed her wrist pulling her up to her feet before he took the knife and attached it back to his belt. "Thank you," The redhead said as she looked down dusting her skirt off feeling bad for some reason.

"Um, I'm sorry for the explosion." She said as she must have seen him get hit by the explosion.

"It's fine, you should hurry as everyone is at the amphitheater." He turned away from her and began walking towards the school as he could feel the redhead following him. He just kept walking towards the school as the place was mostly deserted as most of the first years all made their way towards the school.

"How much longer are you going to keep following me?" Forty-seven asked the redhead who had just been following him all the way towards Beacon, he could tell she was following him because he had begun taking different routes that weren't going towards the amphitheater and she followed him every time keeping her distance. When he called her out she seemed to be in some kind of panic as she began to speak fast which only sounded like gibberish to him, he quickly made her stop by putting his fingers in my mouth and whistling loud making her stop and just stand there.

"Okay, now speak clearly."

"I was following you cause I don't know where I'm going…" She looked down as she seemed to act like a scared puppy. He just looked at her as he snapped his fingers making her look up at him. "Next time just say something instead of following someone," He turned around and waved his hand over his shoulder. She was just lost so showing her to the amphitheater wouldn't be too much trouble for himself since he had to go there anyway.

"Come on," He looked back to see her start walking as she was at his side staying silent which was fine for him, but she was uncomfortable as she was looking around while making an 'hmm' sound thinking of something to say.

"Soooo, I got this thing." She said suddenly pulling out what must have been her weapon. She held it by the handle and it began transforming into a large scythe that she let hit the ground while holding it. He looked at it seeing there was an ammo clip and scope meaning that it was a type of gun, once he saw the bolt carrier he could tell that it was a fifty caliber sniper rifle.

"So it's a scythe that is also a customizable high impact sniper rifle." Her eyes widen a bit as she held the large red weapon in her arms.

"How can you tell?" She asked him as the scythe was a dead giveaway but it was hard to tell a custom built gun. Especially with the types that can be seen depending on the person which could transform or stay the same with an addition such as a blade but it was mainly a gun.

"I can see from the clip which is for a fifty caliber rifle and then the bolt carrier."

"O-oh yea….I guess that would give it away." She then began looking at him trying to see if he had a weapon on him. As he got a good look at her he could tell that she was actually younger than himself and everyone else here. About a year or two if he had to say, but he might as well entertain her till he can leave her alone.

"So what do you have?" She asked him as he just reached back and grabbed his blade twisting it before he pulled the knife out of the sheath, he held it up showing her. Once he did she looked at the blade with a spark of curiosity and saw that it was a unique knife that was milled from a solid piece of stainless steel and other metals that are used to help strengthen hunter weapons, especially the transforming ones. The blade was also special as it had three sharpened edges that twist as they come to a point while the grooved faces feature drilled holes that flow seamlessly together.

"I currently have this,"

"Oooooh. I've never seen a knife like that, so what does it do?" She asked him as he looked down at it and turned it watching as it slowly rolls as the blades were moving. "It doesn't do anything. It's a simple dagger." He watched as she looked at her weapon.

"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I did go a little overboard designing it." She smiled looking down at her weapon, he had seen some people having a strong bond to weapons.

"I take it you care much for your weapon, and take an interest with others." He saw her smile become bigger as she hugged the weapon which was slightly strange.

"Of course Cresent Rose is my baby! Then the weapons I see people carrying are amazing because they're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us!" She said excitedly before calming down and began thinking before looking back at him. "Wait you said that the dagger was all you had, you mean you have another weapon?"

"Yes, but I believe that our little chat has to end…?" He stopped realizing that he didn't know her name and had just been referring to her as redhead the entire time to himself. She realized that he didn't know and held out her hand to shake. "I'm Ruby!" She said smiling as he grabbed her hand and shook it while she looked at him.

"You are?" Forty-seven thought about it for a moment and knew he would have to give an answer. He knew that someone was going to meet him and he would be stuck in a team so he has nothing to lose. "Jason, Jason Arc." He responded as they let go of their hands and continued walking as he began heading towards the amphitheater.

"Let's get going or else we will be late." He said as Ruby continued following him like a lost puppy.

"I'm sorry about blowing you up," Ruby repeated as they walked.

Forty-seven finally arrived at the auditorium after about twenty minutes of walking all the way due to his paths trying to lose Ruby. The place was crowded with people as Ruby was still next to him. He turned to look at her as he dusted off more soot that he found on his shoulder after she pointed it out. "Here we are," There was suddenly a familiar voice calling out for Ruby as he looked to see the blonde from before waving in their direction.

"Ruby! Over here, I saved you a spot." She yelled as Ruby turned to look at him smiling.

"Oh! Hey, I gotta go! See you after the ceremony!" She yelled as Forty-seven tried telling her no she wouldn't but It was too late as she was already gone. Now he has a fifteen-year-old huntress hanging off his shoulder like a lost puppy.

'I can't get a break since I've come here.' He thought walking over to blend in with the crowd and wait for the ceremony to start. He looked down at his watch to see that it should be starting any moment now so all he had to do was wait.

"You!" A shrill voice yelled as it was quickly followed by a frightened yell making him look back up ahead to see Ruby in the blonde's arms and the white-haired girl standing there next to them, she seemed to be in a lecturing mood. Forty-seven looked down at his watch and saw that it hasn't even been two minutes since they arrived here. He decided to stay out of Ruby's sight or else she would somehow pull him into that train wreck.

He just decided to look around for the time being as he waited, he scanned the room just looking around at all the different clothing styles and weapons. He never understood why they had to be so flashy and bright with colors, then making this so over complicated when mixing styles together. He's sure that with all the bright colors they wear stealth missions would be incredibly hard, he has seen hunters who were quite flashy when guarding his targets.

"...talk about cute boys, like tall, blonde and scraggly over there!" He heard the white-haired girl say while pointing in his direction before he felt his hair and realized that it was scraggly and not the way he had it. He just ignored her as he could see the headmaster coming out on stage. He stepped to the mic as everyone began to quiet down.

"Ahem... I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this...but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." The headmaster stepped away from the mic and began walking away from them all and heading off leaving. Forty-seven could see the look in his eyes that were filled with distress that was hidden underneath his expressionless face. It could fool many of them who couldn't see past it, but he has seen many different types of masks that people wear, and ways to see past them or break if needed.

"You all will gather in the ballroom tonight. Initiation begins tomorrow. Be ready, you are dismissed." The woman named Glynda Goodwitch said as he remembered her name from the hologram on the airship. Everyone began to clear out as he looked at the time and decided that he should go back and see if they had his bag now, if not then he would look himself. As he turned away he saw that Ruby was waving at him to come over which he didn't want to do, but from what he has seen from her already she may go and start calling him drawing attention towards himself. He could just feel that this was going to be a very long assignment.

He walked over and stood there looking at the three before looking at the white-haired one and pointing at his hair.

"This is your fault." He stated as she held the bridge of her nose and Ruby snickered, he looked at her quickly. "Same goes for you."

"Hey, I said I was sorry like a hundred times already!" She said as he felt the look coming from the blonde with lilac eyes.

"Sup," She said as he just remained silent not needing another one to annoy him and draw more attention.

"Yang this is Jason, he showed me the way here," Ruby said introducing him to the blonde as she smiled out and held out her hand. He honestly couldn't catch a break today.

'Should have just left my blade,' He grabbed her hand and shook it giving her a strong grip as he could feel one from her so he matched her strength.

"Well hello, Jason, nice to meet you! Thanks for taking care of my baby sis, she's a bit if a socially awkward person." Ruby punched the blonde, that he just learned was named Yang, who just smiled and laughed at the punch to the shoulder. He looked at the two seeing that there were absolutely no similarities as they were completely opposite in hair, eyes, and personality. Most siblings had some type of similarities, but he couldn't see any form them at this moment.

"Yang!" Ruby cried out in embarrassment as Yang just laughed at her still smiling as he began slowly stepping away so that he could go get his bag. Sadly that wasn't happening as he felt a hand on his shoulder that belonged to yang. He looked back as she smiled and pulled him back and put her arm around his shoulder making him crouch a bit due to being taller than her by a few inches. "Mind letting go, I have things to go do." He said just letting her since she was not a threat to him - at the moment - and he had to keep a low profile.

"No can do, you helped watch over my baby sis and became her first friend here,"

"Who said?" Forty-seven quickly question as she just seems to not hear him or just seem to ignore his words entirely.

"So for doing such a thing I'm gonna go ahead and give you thanks by hanging out with me and her!" She announced as he could tell she wasn't a person that listened to others, he really was disliking today and this place.

"Come on!" Yang said pulling him off while still keeping her arm over his shoulder as Ruby looked at him with an apologetic look.

'Longest day I've ever had,'

It was late as Ruby laid on her sleeping bag and was busy writing down everything that had happened today. She felt tired after yang kept embarrassing her to Jason, she felt bad because he seems to be wanted to be left alone but yang always did push people to do things and now he may avoid her so not to be caught by Yang again. She sighed and continued writing down her words as she suddenly heard Yang flop down next to her.

"It's like a big slumber party!" She said while Ruby continued writing down her letter and adding in her thought.

"I don't think dad would approve of all the boys, though." Yang had begun looking at all the shirtless guys that were wrestling or flexing showing off. "I know I do," Her sister then made some kind of growling sound as she looked at all of them. "What's that?" She asked Ruby who continued writing almost finished with the letter.

"It's a letter to the gang back at Signal. I promised to tell them all about Beacon and how things are going." She put the pencil down as Yang smiled at her with that look in her eye that she knew would only mean embarrassment.

"Awww, that's so cuuuuute!"

"Shut up!" Ruby quickly grabbed her pillow and tossed it smacking Yang in the face as she rolled back. "I didn't get to take my friends with me to school. It's weird not knowing anyone here." Ruby hugged her corgi pillow as she was missing them and felt alone having only her sister here with her and everyone else back at Signal.

"What about Jason? He seems...nice! There you go! Plus one friend! a hundred percent increase!"

Ruby turned over and laid on her back looking up at the ceiling as she thought about that and how he was. "I'm not so sure that Jason is my friend, I kinda just hung off him when he asked me to get off his knife."

"Aw come on he seemed nice enough! He even came over when you waved at him."

"It looked like he just came so not to be put in the spotlight, then there is Weiss who I'm pretty sure counts as a 'negative friend'." She closed her eyes sighing. "So now I'm at negative two friends."

"Ruby, there is no such thing as negative friends. I'm sure that Jason is just like you! A bit of an antisocial weapon nut, well except the weapon nut part." Ruby pulled the corgi pillow from her head and tossed it hitting yang again right in the face like the last pillow. She then just laid there looking up at the ceiling.

"Come on Ruby it's only been one day. Look you have friends all around you, you just haven't found them yet." Yang said making her think on that as she laid on her sleeping bag. Maybe she was right, she didn't know anyone when she first started Signal but then she had her friends later. She then heard a match being light catching her attention before looking up to see the same girl from earlier today who helped her with Weiss. "That girl…"

Yang took notice of what she was looking at and checked herself. "You know her?"

"Not really...she saw what happened this morning, but left before I could say anything." She saw that girl just sitting down by the wall and reading a book by the candles she just lit. Yang suddenly got up saying something that she didn't hear clearly.

"Well now's your chance!" She grabbed Ruby's arm and began pulling her up and towards the girl in black.

"Hey, wait! What are you doing!?" She tried pulling away as Yang kept pulling her towards the girl in black. "Helloooo~!" Her sister sang out while waving at the girl who looked up from her book. Yang finally let go as Ruby turned looking away as she just kept talking to the girl.

"I believe you two know each other!" Yang stated as the girl just looked over at her raising a brow.

"Aren't you the girl that blew herself up?" The girl asked making Ruby scratch her neck in embarrassment. "Uhh, yeah! My names Ruby." She held her hand out for the girl to shake only for her to look back down at her book ignoring her. This was going to be very hard for her.

Forty-seven laid near the wall of the ballroom next to the pillar of the middle of the room right next to the girl's side, the one place that was more open than the others who were sleeping so close to each other. He didn't feel like sleeping next to a bunch of shirtless testosterone-fueled fools trying to impress the girls that were on the other side of the room. He stayed sitting against the wall while leaning against the pillar feeling more comfortable. He just stayed looking out the windows on the other end of the room while the noise from everyone was keeping him up.

His bag was next to him after finding out that they had a slight mix up with someone else, he didn't even bother asking how due to being tired out from being dragged around by Yang all day. He was able to get away from her when dinner rolled around and she left him to go eat with her 'friends' while he was stuck with Ruby - again.

The only peace that he had all day was a shower after everyone else was gone. He didn't need a single word about his scars going around, that's all people here did at this age. The second they saw something word would spread around and that would just bring the attention that he didn't need. He just wanted to now rest for a bit before waking up to participate in the initiation that they were told about during the ceremony. Luckily many of them began to quiet down and turn in for the night, luckily he could sleep soon as he closed his eyes.

Sadly he couldn't sleep as he began hearing the sound of Ruby and Yang fighting in what looked like a cloud of dust. He knew it was them as he had heard them talk so much he knew the tone. Then the white-haired girl began walking over now wearing a light blue nightgown with her ponytail undone.

"What in the world is going on over here!?" She yelled as Ruby was holding up Yang's foot making her balance on one foot. "Don't you realize that people are trying to sleep!?" Forty-seven wished she would realize she was just as bed yelling, hopefully, hey will stop soon if he just waits it out.

"Oh, not you again!" Yang and the girl yelled in unison while looking at each other while Ruby tried calming them down which only seemed to make the girl even angrier. This was taking too long so he stood up and rounded the corner surprising a new girl with a black bow before he reached down picking up the candlestick before her and holding it up.

"You're all too loud." He blew out the candles making it dark again.
