After a lengthy scolding from your mother last night following your escapade you told her the "good" news. Surprisingly enough she was very apprehensive and asked if you really wanted to go since you never talked about wanting to be a huntsman before. You, of course, couldn't tell her the real reason seeing as how she would outright stop you from going So you tell her you had a change of heart and wanted to do something productive with your life.
M/N: "Are you sure this has nothing to do with your father?"
F/N: 100% ma now can I go to bed I've got a VERY busy day tomorrow and I haven't even packed yet."
M/N: (Sigh) Go, but you better not be going there for what I think you are."
F/N: "Don't worry I'm just going to be an average student at an average school and live an average life It shouldn't be too hard."
M/N: "Damn straight now go, you said it yourself you had a long day ahead of you."
F/N: "Aye Cap'n."
A few hours later
You are now on an airship, crowded with students from seemingly all over, and trying to get some sleep as you are heading towards Beacon and you wonder what "wonderous" adventures await for you at your new home. Truth be told you didn't really care too much about the whole thing seeing as how you only came because of Ozpin's promise to help you find your dad. Though you couldn't help but feel a little nervous since you're going to be in a new environment and all.
F/N: 'Jeez and here I thought I was going to get some shut-eye.'
You reach into your bag and pull out your Mp3 player as you try to relax and take in your surroundings.

(What you're listening to)
This along with Junkyard Dog was one of the few things your dad had left you after his disappearance. It seemed like only yesterday when he suddenly disappeared but in reality, it's been years. He taught you everything you know about fighting and you even derived most of your fighting style from his, that's not to say however that you didn't get the inspiration for some of your moves from the numerous amount of video games you played. You look at your reflection in the glass as your E/C eyes and H/C hair gave off the impression that you were a lone wolf type of person. This is true seeing as how you never good at making friends, and always kept to yourself and you like it that way, though having to do this whole team thing will have you out of your comfort zone. Who knows you might actually like it here and find a girlfriend though that's if you end up staying here.
Familiar Voice: "Hello students and welcome to Beacon Academy. My name is Glynda Goodwitch and you are among the privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend our prestigious academy."
Looking up you see a projection of a lady seemingly a school official on one of the screens in the airship.
F/N: 'She must be the lady who saved Ruby from that explosion last night. One does not simply forget a voice that annoying.'
As the airship reaches its destination everyone rushes outside while you walk out nonchalantly with your weapon's case in one hand and a suitcase in the other. when you walk out oddly enough you see a boy with blonde hair with his head deep inside a trash can hurling into it. You look at this as an opportunity to familiarize yourself with at least one of the students here since he could be on your team.
F/N: 'Guess some people still get air sickness.'
You walk towards the boy and pat him on the shoulder.
F/N: "You alright man?"
Blonde Headed Boy: "Yeah peachy just air sickness ya know."
F/N: "I get ya."
Blonde Headed Boy: "Well thanks for checking in on me everyone else just left me alone out here."
F/N: "Well I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to be associated with the fabled Vomit boy on their first day."
Blonde Headed Boy: "Aw man, people are already handing out nicknames?"
F/N: "Afraid so."
Blonde Headed Boy: "So then why are you here?"
F/N: "I'd rather find out who a person really is than just judge quietly from the back and make assumptions, though I guess people are gonna start associating me with you from now on."
Blonde Headed Boy: "Well I guess this means we're partners in crime."
F/N: "Guess so."
Blonde Headed Boy: "Partners it is though we should get going don't wanna be late on our first day."
F/N: "Tru dat, so what's your name?"
Blonde Headed Boy: "Jaune Arc, short, sweet, and rolls off the tongue and the best part ladies love it."
You give him a quick scan and come to the conclusion that this guy definitely hasn't had any girls come up to him.
F/N: "Right..."
Jaune: "How about you I didn't get your name."
F/N:" F/N L/N."
Jaune: "Well nice to meet you F/N I hope we can be good friends from now on."
F/N: "Likewise."
The two of you make your way to the entrance of Beacon and you're surprised at just how big the place really is, as you've never seen anything like it.

F/N: "Damn I didn't expect the place to so huge."
Jaune: "Well this is the top school in all of Remnant when it comes to training Huntsman and Huntresses."
F/N: "Yea, but I mean just look at this place it's practically a setting for a Shining Fantasy Game."
Jaune: "Wait you play Shining Fantasy?"
F/N: "Well yeah it's only the biggest RPG franchise of all time!"
Jaune: "Really, that's awesome I play them too!"
F/N: "OOH, which one is your favorite?"
Jaune: "VII was always my personal favorite seeing as how it is objectively the best and the main character is so cool."
F/N: "Ehhh I was always more of an X guy, but did you hear about VII being remade?"
Jaune: "Yea, I did I just hope it stays true to the original, but if I don't end up liking it I'll always have the original."
F/N: "Jaune I get the feeling we are gonna be the best of friends I guess being here won't be a complete waste of time after-"
Before you were about to finish your proclamation you hear a giant explosion and you decide to check it out.
F/N: "Hey Jaune you hear that I'm gonna go check it out."
Jaune: "Wait F/N we don't know what that was it might not be safe to check it out annnnd where did you go?"
You left Jaune behind to check out the explosion when you hear a familiar voice.
Ruby: "Look I said I'm sorry I promise it won't happen again."
???: "Sorry isn't good enough, ugh you complete dolt!"
As you turn your head you see Ruby and a pale-skinned girl with white hair wearing a white dress. Upon further inspection, you realize that it's Weiss Schnee the Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. As you walk closer you can tell that the argument is getting more and more heated.
F/N: "Hey am I interrupting something?"
Weiss: "Oh great here comes another."
F/N: "Well excuse me, princess."
???: "It's Heiress actually."
All three of you turn to your left to see a girl with black hair and amber eyes walk towards you and wearing all-black clothing. You thought that the bow on her head complimented her look very nicely though it almost looked like it twitched, huh.
F/N: "I know but had to do it for the meme."
Bow Wearing Girl: "I believe you're Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company one of the largest producers of energy in the world."
Weiss: "Finally some recognition."
Bow Wearing Girl: "The same company that has some questionable labor practices and controversial business partners."
F/N: "Oooooo got her ass."
Ruby: *giggles*
Weiss: "How dare you the nerve of you people!"
Weiss then storms off in a fit of rage and annoyance and you swear you saw some thunderclouds and lighting floating on the top of her head.
Ruby: "I promise I'll make this up to you..."
F/N: "I mean you don't have to."
Bow Wearing Girl: "Well that's that I suppose," she then walks off.
Ruby: "(Sighs) So much for a great first day thanks for helping me... wait I know you're the guy from the dust shop who fell off the building."
F/N: 'Seriously that's the first thing that she remembers.'
F/N: "Yeah that's me names F/N L/N sorry I didn't introduce myself the first time."
Ruby: "No worries, I'm just happy that there's someone here other than my sister that's friendly."
You rub the back of your neck as you blush a little.
F/N: "Don't worry about it."
Jaune: "F/N! Why'd you leave me over there like that do you know how hard it is to catch up to you."
Jaune is running towards you gasping for air as it looks like he's been searching all over the campus for you.
F/N: "Oops my bad bit of a habit."
Jaune: "(Trying to catch breath) Just warn me next time and who is this?"
F/N: "Oh this is a friend of mine Ruby this is Jaune, Jaune this is Ruby."
Ruby: "Aren't You Vomit Boy."
F/N: *Snickers*
Jaune: "Yes... WAIT no it's not like that!"
The three of you walk around talking about various things while Jaune tries to convince Ruby that his motion sickness is just a common problem.
Jaune: "All I'm saying is that motion sickness is more of a common problem than people let on."
Ruby: "Look I'm sorry Vomit Boy is the first thing that came to mind."
F/N: Sorry dude, but she's got you on that one."
Jaune: "Not helping F/N."
F/N: "I jest I jest."
Ruby/Jaune/(F/N): "...."
Ruby: "So I got this thing."
Ruby reaches behind her hood and pulls out her giant scythe that shatters a portion of the ground on impact.

Jaune: "Holy cow! How do you even carry that thing around?"
F/N: "That's the same thing I said."
Ruby: "Well it is portable and it doubles as a customizable high-impact sniper rifle."
Jaune: "It's a what now?"
F/N: "It's a gun Jaune."
Jaune: "Oh... That's pretty sweet!"
Ruby: "Yea! Ruby says blushing a little "It's awesome I never let Cresent Rose Leave my side."
F/N: "So Jaune whaddya got up your sleeve?"
Jaune looks down a little before perking back up.
Jaune: "Uh well I got this sword."
Ruby: "Oooooo [https://img.wattpad.com/7f7f3a4c195fc1266051e6a3e3b46e612a301f71/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f69624e6d58314c7944752d3855673d3d2d3738303038333039392e313563313131303265653365363266313234343736313934363636362e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
Ruby: "Oooooo."
F/N: "Nice, nice."
Jaune: "And this shield."
He pulls out the shield from his side strap.
Ruby: "So what do they do?"
Jaune: "I can make the shield smaller so if I get tired of carrying it I can just put it away."
F/N: "But... wouldn't it just weigh the exact same weight?"
Jaune: "Yeah it does..."
Jaune and Ruby both turn to you.
F/N: "Oh well I got this thing."

Ruby: "Wow... so what is it."
F/N: "It's the Junkyard Dog MK III and it's specifically designed to amplify my semblance and act as a giant buster sword."
Jaune: "So what's your semblance then?"
You put your right hand into a fist and extend your index finger and from the tip, a small flame appears before you blow it out.
Ruby: "Awesome! That's so cool."
F/N:" It sure is and it can even go into a second mode if I decide to get serious during a fight."

F/N: "No actually, my dad helped me design it before he left."
Jaune: "Uh..."
Ruby: "Oh Gosh I'm so sorry, for bringing up such a sensitive topic."
F/N: "Nah it's ok."
Ruby: "If it's any constellation I know what it's like to have a family member suddenly leave your life too."
F/N: "Really?"
Ruby: "Yea my mom died when I was younger but I cherish the happy memories we had and I keep them close to my heart. There's no point in remembering only the bad right you just gotta keep moving forward but never forget the people who made you who you are today."
F/N: "You know for someone so young you sure are pretty wise."
Ruby: "I guess you could say I'm psychic."
Jaune: "For real?"
Ruby: "Nah I just have really good intuition."
F/N: "Wait guys where are we going?"
Ruby: "I dunno I was just following you guys."
Jaune: "Same."
You all facepalm and start to laugh at the small mistake that you made.
F/N: "Yare Yare Daze let's go we don't want to get yelled at on our first day."
