8 CHAPTER 8
A/N:
As promised, I'll post Chapter 8 and 9 this week, so stay tuned!
Also, I'm posting an extra chapter for my other book, HP: The Name's Constantine too, so go check it out if you're free or something.
And something to note, I'm cooking up something fresh. It's from my old book way back before I started this Patreon thingy.
So let me cook, alright? I think it's gonna be my favourite yet out of all (This Fic is my favourite so far).

??? POV
It was as if his head was splitting into two. He closes his eyes and groaned in pain, clutching on his head as he felt his body get submerged into water before getting dragged out. It was super weird.
Opening his eyes, he was shock to see red, which was surprising since he was just about to board a train after a day of class in Shujin Academy.
"W-What in the world..."
Shibuya's train station had now become bloody red, as if he just stepped into a horror movie. It had the feeling of eeriness, and just being in this… world makes him want to puke.
He was currently in what seemed to be a resting area that some station have for people to sit and relax.
Pinching his skin to make sure that he was awake, he cursed at the fact that this was some sort of reality as he started looking for a way out of this hellhole.
He tried to first call someone with his phone that was in his school bag, but there wasn't a signal at all, so he looked around the station for any clues or remnants of an exit. Seeing a staircase that lead upwards, he immediately went to it.
Walking up the stairs, he noticed that on that wall had the number 4 with the words "Floor of Aiyatsbus". That should indicate that he was in the 4th floor of whatever Aiyatsbus was.
Reaching the apex of the stairs and making sure not to touch any of the black and red stuff, he was greeted with the same surrounding, but there wasn't a rest area anymore. Instead, there was a space for a train to travel through, shrouded in darkness.
Floor of Aiyatsbus: 3rd Floor.
Realizing that there was nowhere to go now other than to follow the train tracks, Rin steeled himself before jumping down from the platform to try and find his way out, not noticing a blue butterfly fluttering behind him.

Four days after Beacon's new semester started...
Ozpin Wiz POV
"Thank you so much. Mr. Rin."
Glynda thanked Rin as she received the cup carrier with the logo Leblanc. He had decided to start delivering coffee from today to Beacon since most of his regulars were here.
Handing him the Lien, Rin thanked her and as he was about to leave, Ozpin stopped him.
"Mr. Junichiro, may I please have your attention?"
Looking back, Rin had a curious face as Ozpin opened the cabinet on his desk before bringing out a card. More specifically, a staff access card.
"Since you'll be making quite frequent trips, no doubt from our addiction to your coffee, I decided to create a card for you. This will make any costs when sitting transport to Beacon null, give access to any facilities of Beacon, and much more."
Blinking, he stares at the card before he raised his hand.
"Ozpin, it's alright, the fare is just 10 Lien a trip."
"I feel that you should take it, Mr. Rin."
Glynda persuaded him as she continued.
"Beacon's library is one of the biggest in the continent, and I recall that you were complaining about Vale not having a public library?"
That caused Rin to just sheepishly chuckle as he took another glance at the card before walking to take it. Inspecting the card, she could see a warm smile at it before tucking it into his wallet.
"I'll make sure to use this as best as I can."
"I doubt you wouldn't, Mr. Junichiro."
After all, this young one is quite the mystery. Especially when he reeks of fresh magic.

Blake Belladonna POV
Banging her head on the table, she groans as she watches the drama between her team leader and the Schnee. Seriously, the Schnee was so spoiled, what a bitch. Just because you didn't get your desired role, doesn't mean that you should berate the one who got it.
Poor Ruby, she was a nice fellow from their short interactions.
Oum, she was so down to just leave for a cup of coffee, but the cafeteria's version of coffee was instant, causing her mood to drop even further.
"Come on, Blakey, let's go get a snack!"
Her teammate, Yang, came up behind her and rests her hand around her shoulder, to which she shrugged it off.
"... Fine."
Maybe she could get some tuna for her mood. Dear Oum knows that she is low on her "Rin Energy" and needs something to distract her from thinking about him.
-
Walking to the cafeteria, she ignored the staring of others. She had always known that she was a beautiful woman, Dad and him (She cringes at the thought of him) always told her that, but she didn't know that she would always get leered this much. Especially her lower parts of her body, which caused her to speed up her walking.
Rin doesn't do that. He always looked respectfully and didn't stray from her eyes. Well, that may be the reason why she initially liked his presence, it made her feel so safe.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she watched Yang scan her card to open the cafeteria doors and holding it for her, thanking her with a nod before getting some food.
Taking a nice fatty fish that Beacon was serving, she also took some rice and scrambled eggs before following Yang and taking a seat next to Team JNPR.
Ugh, JNPR. She honestly thought that the team was just a mess. Sure, Jaune had some leadership skills, but his practical skills had a lot to work on. Ren was a silent but attentive acquaintance, that was a plus, but Nora was just... Wow. She had no words to describe Nora.
And Pyrrha. Sigh...
Pyrrha Nikos, the backbone of Team JNPR. From her display in Ms. Goodwitch's combat class yesterday, she knew that she could decimate most of the teams of Beacon with ease alone. She was that strong and skilled, as expected from the Invincible Girl of Mistral.
She hasn't really got to talk with her after the fiasco, and she had been avoiding her, but the fact remains that she was her enemy! Her rival! Her obstacle before Rin! If she couldn't win using brute force, she'll have to play this strategically —
Suddenly, her ears stood up as she smelt a familiar scent. Turning her head, her eyes widened as she watched Rin walking around with a map, muttering as he moved out of everyone's way without even looking up from the map, showing his spacial awareness.

Pyrrha Nikos POV
She seems to have been spoiled with Leblanc's food as she played around with her steak. It was good, as expected from Beacon's cafeteria, it was rated as one of the best in Vale, but it was missing some spices and taste.
Rin would have made it more appetizing and delicious with his geeky food experiments, especially his yogurt infused curry, that is always a treat to eat.
Feeling the cafeteria table drip slightly made her aware of people sitting on their table, at least two people's worth from the way it dipped. Glancing, she sees Yang and Blake from Team RWBY sitting down.
Blake... Rin, the mission is not going as planned! First, she's avoiding her, so she's barely an acquaintance! And she thinks that Blake hates her or something, cause every time she locks eyes with her, Blake's face will frown before looking away.
It's not her fault that Rin likes her more!
Sighing, she takes another bite of her steak as Jaune and Yang started laughing at Nora's joke.
Ah, her team. Well, it was quite refreshing that they didn't really care about the Invincible Girl and instead talked to Pyrrha Nikos. Her team was quite funny too, with Nora and Ren's antiques and Jaune's surprisingly cute innocence to the world of Huntsmen.
And Yang, she was quite strong, being able to take and deal devastating blows with her high Aura reserves and muscular physique, so it clicked her competitive side.
Well, Rin would also be a contender of her "Want to Fight List" if he was a Huntsman. Imagine the sparring dates that they could go on, or if he was in Beacon, and she purposely takes a blow in a fight, and he comes to her with a worried expression?
Oum, that's hot.
Well, it would not be a reality anyways since Rin wasn't even a staff in Beacon, so that will continue to be a dream —
"Ugh, this construction is horrible..."
She drops her fork and starts to look around, causing her teammates to looked at her confused.
She swore that she just heard Rin's voice. She had subconsciously attuned her ears to hear Rin from a crowd, after all. But that was impossible, only staff members could enter the cafeteria.
Her eyes catch his curly black hair instantly as he continuously berates the map and Mr. Ozpin for the horrible construction decision to make the dorms so far from the main campus.
'Gods, he looked so hot looking so serious.'
Wait, hold on, back up for a second, brain. Rin? He's here?! In Beacon?!
She felt the table shift, glancing for a second at Blake who was sitting straighter now. Crap, she noticed him! She has to move, now or else Blake will be on Rin, and then she would not have time to spend with him!
Using her fingers, she combed her hair as best as she could and patted away the creases of her uniform before standing up. Ignoring her teammate's questioning, she walked up to Rin who was still staring at the map.
Time to get a compliment from Rin about her uniform! Oum knows that she needs more of that.

Yang Xiao-Long POV
Watching both her teammate and the Invincible Girl start making sure that they looked good before standing up abruptly made her raise her eyebrows in interest.
Oh, she knows that motion, it was when someone's crush was nearby. But simultaneously at the same time? Interesting, very interesting...
This could be serious blackmail material for the future.
She will keep an eye on them from now on, something in her gut tells her that this was going to be a Yang-ing experience.
...
Heh, Yang-ing. She's gotta write that one down.
