Kyoto Huntsman Academy Dorms, Issei's Room, April 5th, RD 456.
Issei woke up at 07:05 to the beeping of his alarm clock along with Kiyome Abe. He got up and walked over to it before hitting the snooze button while Kiyome started to change out of her sleepwear, which was a light green nightgown that went to her knees. The two of them got dressed in their uniforms before walking down to the first floor and cooked some pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The rest of their team then came down as they finished cooking and dug into the food. After eating and washing the dishes, Katase then asked as the team gathered in the lounge, "So what is our plan for today, Hyoudou-san?"
"We will explore the academy and familiarize ourselves with its layout and where our classes will be." Issei answered.
"I thought that would be the sort of answer you would give, Hyoudou-san." Tsubaki's voice could be heard as she descended the stairs along with the rest of Team TASIR.
"Good morning, Shinra-san. I take it that your team will be familiarizing yourselves with the layout of the Academy just like us after having breakfast?"
"Way to call it, Hyoudou-san. By the way, Asia actually told me that she had a dream about you last night." Sona stated.
"Okay... wait, is there something about Asia that we don't know about?" Aika asked.
"Well, it seems that I am what is known as a Dragon Tamer." Asia answered.
After Team TASIR had a quick breakfast of toast and sausages, they and Team ANIKS all went to the entrance of the academy. It was then that Tsubaki stated, "Alright everyone, it's time to start touring Kyoto Huntsman Academy. Please follow me to ensure that you don't get lost."
The tour itself took about an hour to complete, but both teams now knew where their classroom was: Class 1-B. "It seems that our homeroom teacher is Rossweisse, and she teaches History." Murayama stated.
"Not only that, but Weapon Crafting and Upkeep is taught by Liban Crocell, Misteeta Sabnock teaches Stealth and Security, Coriana Andrealphus teaches Plant Sciences, and Military Strategy is taught by a man known only as 'Regulus'. Sairaorg Bael is also the Deputy Headmaster in addition to being another combat instructor." Sona replied.
"They all have to be veteran Huntsmen since I could sense some supernatural power off of them. According to Azazel-kocho-sensei, the various teachers at most if not all Huntsman Academies and Primary Combat Schools are Huntsmen of varying skill levels." Irina spoke.
"According to the news online, it seems that the White Fang are stepping up their attacks." Reya stated while reading something on her Scroll.
"Subduing terrorists like them is also part of a Huntsman's duties, not just fighting the Grimm." Kiyome replied.
"Didn't they only start their violent attacks like 5 or 6 years ago? They were pretty peaceful until then." Katase spoke.
"That is true. The convent I was part of didn't discriminate against any Faunus that came and went." Asia stated.
"Something major must have happened for the White Fang to change tactics, such as a change in leadership. Tactics used by organizations usually change after new leaders step up." Tsubaki replied.
"And whoever the new leader of the White Fang is, he or she definitely has a bone to pick with the Schnee Dust Company, one of the biggest competitors to the many corporations operating here in Zipang and in Menagerie." Issei spoke.
"The price of Dust has been shooting up lately. The White Fang and some independent criminals likely have been stealing some from the SDC. IIRC, a man in Vale known as Roman Torchwick has been stealing a lot of Dust in the past few days. Even the Huntsmen of Vale have been having trouble apprehending him." Aika remarked.
"So... since we're in Kyoto, want to go sightseeing, Kiyome-chan?" Issei asked.
"That sounds like a lovely idea, my boyfriend." Kiyome answered.
Meanwhile in Argus, Mistral, Saphron woke up to knocking on the front door. She got herself dressed and then when she opened the door, she saw an unfamiliar woman standing there along with a large black bag that was laid out on the ground.
"I'm sorry, but who are you? I'm Saphron Cotta-Arc." Saphron spoke cautiously.
"I am Kalawarner, a Huntress from the Kingdom of Zipang. I am terribly sorry to bring you news about the untimely death of Jaune Arc." Kalawarner replied with a sad look in her eyes.
"Jaune... no...! how... how could this happen?"
"According to eyewitnesses, he had been fatally wounded by a type of Grimm known as a Titanos that was later slain by two Huntsmen-in-training about three to five days ago. I simply brought his body with me here so that his family could do whatever they do to deceased family members."
"I'll dig a grave so that he can be buried."
"I'm guessing that is a family custom. I know some people simply cremate their dead."
"Yeah, it is."
Back in Kyoto, Issei and Kiyome were at the Kyoto Tower on the observation deck. Issei was looking around while Kiyome looked through a telescope. 'Kiyome sure seems to not mind about being engaged to me, but I'm not sure about me having a harem. I will probably cross that bridge when we get to that point.' Issei thought to himself before Kiyome got away from the telescope.
"I do think we should head to the Jizoyama Cemetery now. I think I saw a woman in a yellow kimono over there." Kiyome spoke.
"Alright then." Issei replied before he went with Kiyome to the cemetery. True to her words, a woman with yellow hair in a yellow kimono was there, her eyes closed and hands clapped in prayer while kneeling in front of a gravestone marked, "Daniele Berti. RD 399 - RD 439"
The woman got up, turned around while ending her prayer gesture, and then opened her eyes to reveal that they were also yellow before asking, "Who are the two of you?"
"I am Issei Hyoudou, the fiancé of Kiyome Abe, the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation, and a first-year student at Kyoto Huntsman Academy." Issei answered.
"And I am Kiyome Abe, another first-year student at Kyoto Huntsman Academy and a Beast Tamer." Kiyome replied.
"I see. I am Yasaka, a Kitsune no Kyuubi and ruler of Kyoto's Youkai." the woman, Yasaka, introduced herself.
"Who is this Daniele Berti person whose name is on the gravestone?" Issei asked.
"He was a Huntsman who used the Sacred Gear Regulus Nemea before his death seventeen years ago on the continent of Mistral. He fought off an entire army of Grimm before he was mortally wounded by a very ancient Beowolf that had been around even after the first wave of humanity was exterminated by the God of Darkness. Such a creature was known as a Prime Beowolf, a variant that is even stronger than an Alpha Beowolf. Daniele slew that same Prime Beowolf in his final moments. After he died, a Huntress brought his body back here for burial."
"Damn... he went down fighting to the very end."
"True to that." Kiyome stated before bringing out her Scroll, opening it, and looking at the time on it before saying, "Oh my, it's almost time for lunch. Maybe we could stop by that ramen shop we passed on the way here, Issei-kun."
"That sounds great." Issei beamed back.
Grimm Database: Prime Beowolf. These Beowolves date back to the era of the first wave of humanity. They are almost completely covered in bone-like armor and their spikes protrude from their armor. As with regular Beowolves, their size can vary.
