"Fairytales are often the first stories we hear as a child. Strong heroes protecting the weak and defeating the monsters! But in the world of Remnant, those fairytales are not the work of fiction. For in this world, lurking in the dark, there are creatures know as Grimm.
Silver eyed monstrosities attracted by dark emotions and the biggest cause of death in Remnant. There are very few people who don't fear those creatures. And those few are the Huntsmans! An organization formed to combat the Grimm and protect the people of Remnant.
A huntsman trains years to improve their semblances and combat abilities and, as such, are usually the strongest people in their community or even in the world. Only a few got what it takes to become one of us.
But if you think you got what it takes, then join one of our academies! In it, you'll have the best training to become the best huntsman. sO WhAt aRe yOU wAIting fOR? BecomE a HUNtSmaN! ANd gO be tHe hERo of your oN f..." the TV finally gave up. It was ruined thanks to an attack from a rival of Roman Torchwick
If you don't know who Roman Torchwick is, then clearly you haven't been to Vale. For he is the king of the criminals, which made him one of the most powerful men in all of Vale, but right now, he was just a guy pissed at his TV
"Stupid thing!" Roman said while punching it
"I told you shouldn't have put it in your office" Roman's right arm woman Neopolitan "said". Using the quotation marks because Neo can't talk. She communicated using Hand signs.
"How was I supposed to know they would attack us?" Roman asked
"Better safe than sorrow!" Neo communicated while making a sarcastic face
"You're right! I should listen more to you..." Roman said, admitting defeat.
"I'm always right! But the attack changes tonight?" Neo asked
"No, it will continue as planned. The costumes are ready?" Roman said. Neo said yes with her head.
"So you can go do it. As for me, I'll look for a way to make that thing works, or else I'll lose my favorite TV show!" Roman said. Prompting Neo to leave his office to go to the warehouse center where Roman chose to hide after the earlier attack. The Warehouse was full of criminals, and there was a big deposit of a magical ore called Dust near the office.
Neo went to a table were there was a crate with animal ears, tails, and jackets with a red great feline and claws mark on the back. Once Neo walked over the crate, she gave the ahead sign, and everyone suited up.
When everybody was ready, she gave them individual lists. Only a few gang members stayed in the warehouse. In the distance, Ruby Rose saw the criminals leave the warehouse and go assault a place.
"They left the building." Ruby said on an earphone plugged into her scroll
"Ok. Here's your chance. I need you to go inside the warehouse and incapacitate all men inside." a female voice said on the other end of the line.
"Ok. But what if the leader is still in there?" Ruby asked
"He's strong and probably will play dirty. So just stall him long enough for us to arrive" the voice said. Once the call was over, Ruby went to the ally near the warehouse door. There she spied three guards guarding the door.
Once she saw them, she activated her semblance, Petal Burst, that allows her to move fast and in many directions while looking like a Petals cloud. Once she was in front of them, she used her Sniper Scythe called Crescent Rose to attack the three minions at the same time. Making them fly inside the warehouse while destroying the door.
Once inside, several guards jumped on her. Still, she easily dodged them and then counter them using Crescent Rose to make them unconscious. Roman heard the sounds of the battle and went outside to see what was going on
"Can't a man fix his TV?!" Roman said before noticing his man unconscious on the floor and Ruby in the middle of them "Well, ain't you tough? Tell me, do you want to become an associate?" Roman sarcastically asked.
Ruby, however, was having none of it. As soon as he stopped talking, she jumped to attack Roman, but he dodged and kicked Ruby. She, however, defended using Crescent Rose's base as a shield.
Ruby then unloaded a magazine of fire dust at the point-blake range, making Roman fly but hardly damaging him thanks to his trenchcoat, involved in ice dust.
"What a Bucket of Cold Watter! Right, Red?" Roman asked before shooting his round of Fire dust. But Ruby didn't have a dust cloak, so her aura had to do the job of stopping the round.
Roman didn't wait for Ruby to recover and immediately went for her using his crane. Still, Ruby defended using Crescent Rose and then engaged in a bizarre sword fight with the swords swapped for a Scythe and a Crame.
"You know that fencing is practiced with swords, right?" Roman sarcastically asked during the fight. But Ruby just kept fighting, looking for an open to score a direct hit on Roman.
Finally, the opportunity presented itself, and she managed to hit a slice on Roman's chest. Making him fly back to close the Dust deposit. Once there, she fired at the Dust deposit, making Roman fly close to her and drop his Crane. Ruby then hit his gut with the inverse of crescent rose, making him kneel and spit some blood.
"So much for a strong underground boss!" Ruby said, confident
"An underground boss has different strengths!" Roman said while revealing a small dagger under his sleeve. Ruby barely managed to dodge the attack, but she couldn't dodge Neo's attack when she returned after rearing the explosion
"For example, Allies are a great strength" Roman said, stomping on Ruby's hand as she tried to reach for Crescent Rose. "Now, be a good girl and go to bed!" before Roman could finish her, however, she used her Petal Burst to leave the warehouse just in time.
"Open fire" Goodwitch said once she saw Ruby leaving the building. Once that was done, a squad fired at the house. Neo defended both her and Roman using her umbrella
"Where would I be if it weren't for you?" Roman asked behind a smiley Neo "Now come on, before they come in - Roman said, prompting both of them to sneak away from there using a special cloak that made both of them invisible. When the good guys went in, they had already left by a window and started to move away quietly, confusing everyone.
"So?" Ruby asked

"That was a good job! You did everything I told you to do, and in the end, he only escaped thanks to something none of us know. You have a future as a huntress" Goodwitch said, reassuring
"So, does that means..." Ruby eyes started to glow
"Ruby Rose. I give you my permission to ingress at Beacon Academy! Congratulations!" Goodwitch said, making Ruby very happy
Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, an Atlas scientist showed the new models of the robots. On the crowd was Weiss Schnee and Winter Schnee. Both, however, were not watching the models and instead were talking about Weiss's future
"Not Atlas!" Weiss said
"I can only give you a scholarship in Atlas. I don't have reach in the other academies."
"But I'll still be close to father!" Weiss said
"Sorry, but unless you get permission from a teacher from any other academy, Atlas it will be." Winter said, making Weiss get sad.
But the sadness would be short-lived. Suddenly, one of the robots identified several audience members as hostile and started to shoot at them. Weiss quickly put the robot under a glass dome using her weapon, myrtenaster.
Weiss then jumped on the stage to fight the robot with Winter evacuating the building. However, an individual with gray hair and a big mustache stood still in his seat, watching Weiss on the stage.
The robot shot through the ice to break free, but Weiss used gravity dust to be suspended in the air. It shot several rockets around the room as a reflex, but none hit Weiss. Winter, hearing the explosions went back to see what was going on. When she saw Weiss, she thought about interfering, but the man stopped her
"You don't interfere with a huntsman fight, my dear!" the guy said in a pompous tone
Weiss, meanwhile, used her Glyphe semblance to launch her and cut the robot; while it did limited damage, it was enough to incapacitate his arms
"But she's not a huntress!" Winter responded
The robot, however, charged at Weiss, who simply dodged and them attack it using Water. However, the Robot was waterproof, so it did nothing
"Really, what a shame! Tell me, is she over 21?" the man asked
Weiss, however, managed to find a way to make the water useful. She shot a magazine of lighting dust. It combines with the water electrocuted the robot, but it wasn't finished
"Yes" Winter said, confused
"Wonderfull! Tell her when she's done beating that robot that she's welcome at Beacon Academy! Weiss Schee, right? Hard not to recognize a Schnee!" the man said and left
Meanwhile, Weiss uses fire dust to light her blade on fire and finally cut the robot's core. Defeating it for good. Once she was done, Weiss went to see Winter
"Is everyone ok?" Weiss asked
"You're so lucky!" Winter said still in disbelieve
"Why?" Weiss said confused
"A Beacon teacher was watching everything. Including your fight! He gave you permission to study at Beacon!"
- Luck favors the good. Now my real life begins - Weiss said, leaving the theater
While that was going on, two-man were pushing a Faunus lady around while making pig noises to insult her half pig form. The woman was very uncomfortable and clearly asked for the man to stop. But that only made them more aggressive. However, the man was unaware of the presence of Blake Belladonna on a near roof, watching everything.
"Let her go!" Blake demanded before jumping from the roof
"Yeah, or else what?" the most aggressive man asked
"Come on. We're just having fun. Besides, it's not our fault that she got the most stupid nose!" the other more "behaved" complemented
"It's not a 'fault'! She was born that way!" Blake said
"And with pride" the woman said before making an oinc noise and make the two-man laugh again
"A prideful clown! Men, I was born to hear a grown woman make an oinc sound! That's the funniest shit!" the aggressive man said
"Imagine in bed! She must have the loudest climax!" the "behaved" complemented again, making the woman very uneasy
"Stop now!!!" Blake said, holding one of the men by the shirt. The other tried to punch her, but she used her shadow semblance, and he just punched the air. Blake used that as an opportunity to tie the two-man using the ribbon of her weapon, Gambol Shroud, to tie both men.
"Let us go!" The other man demanded
"Will you stop?" Blake asked, very angry
"Yes, we will! Right, Chad? " the first man didn't answer
Blake then pushed the ribbon more, making the man tighter
"Yes, we will! I promise!" the first man said against his will, prompting Blake to untie the man.
"Get Loss!" Blake demanded, prompting the two to run away. From where the men ran, a Faunus named Tucson went
"I told you to stay cool, Blake" Tukson said
"Well, I won't stay still while a Faunus is being harassed." Blake said
"Huh. You got your father's flame! Now, I settle everything. Next week you'll be traveling to beacon!" Tukson said
"Thank you so much, Tucson!" Blake said, very happy
Meanwhile, a bar fight was going on in the biggest bar in the city. On one side, you have Qrow Branwen together with his niece Yang Xiaolong and on the other the men of Junior's gang. Junior was Roman's main rival in Vale.
"Bad luck, right Kid?" Qrow said while dodging one man and giving a right hook on another
"Are you kidding? I couldn't ask for a better celebration!" Yang said while smashing the head of men on a table
"Get used to this life! From here, it will only get tougher!" Qrow said, stabbing a guy's shoulder with a broken glass
"Great! Because this is child play! I mean, I didn't even take enough damage to activate my semblance!" Yang said before being hit by a wooden table, which temporarily knocks her out
"Now that must hurt!" Qrow said as the man that did it was standing above her, prideful. However, Yang manages to slowly go up and stand her ground against the strong men.
"Thank you!" Yang said after spitting some blood. Everyone was confused until her hair started to Burn. She then grew more strong and quickly took down all men in the bar.
"Thank you for the help, kid! Tell Ruby I send a kiss!" Qrow said
"I should be the one thanking you for the celebration party! By the way, did you send the confirmation to Ozpin?" Yang asked just to check.
"Yeah, I think so..." Qrow responded
"You think?!" Yang asked worriedly
"I'm sure I did! 100%!"
"I think it's not 100%!"
"Alright, I'll send it again just to be safe! Relax! Next week you and your sister will be the ugliest girls in Beacon!" Qrow said
"Speak to my sister! I'll be the prettiest!"
"Sure, you will! Heck, you may even take some girls out of the closet!"
