Chapter 18: 1st Day of School
(An: I'm thinking about making a separate book just for side stories, like RWBY Chibi, but instead of chibi, it's normal and just a side story, and things like that. Let me know if you guys are interested.)
(3rd Person POV:)
After everyone headed out to their dorms since it was getting late, Ozpin called Team RWBY, JNPR, Kirito, and Alice to follow him.
Ozpin: The first thing I would like to discuss is a team name. I do not know what kind of team name would fit you, as you two are a pair, not a team of four, so please let me know later.
(An: Yes, people in the comments, let me know. I need team names. Hurry. Thanks.)
Alice: (nodding) We can give you one later.
Kirito: Can't it just be something simple?
Alice: I suppose, but nothing comes to mind.
Ozpin: The second thing I would like to discuss is the dorms. Normally, you two would have your own dorms, but we do not have any spares, and giving you a teacher's dorm is simply not fair as well. So you two need to bunk with a team for a while until we can create a new one after finding a good location.
Kirito: (raising hand) I can stay with JNPR?
Alice: (arms crossed) You just don't want to be a pillow again, don't you?
Kirito: Guilty as charged.
Alice: We'll go with team RWBY. It won't take that long, right?
Ozpin: Maybe for 2 weeks? 3 if the location isn't that great.
Alice: that's fine.
Ozpin: (nodding wisely) Very well, now go to your dorms and enjoy a good rest. you have classes tomorrow after all.
(linebreak)
Kirito: Right, let's go to sleep.
Ruby: There are only four beds, how are we-
Ruby was interrupted as Kirito pulled out two futons and laid them down, before swapping his clothes out with a simple T-Shirt and shorts. He then proceeded to get in one of them and closed his eyes.
Alice: There's your answer.
Alice then proceeded to swap clothes as well, before getting in the other futon and snuggling close to Kirito, before closing her eyes as well.
Ruby: (pouting) That's not fair...
Yang: (snickering) What, Ruby, jealous?
Ruby: No! Let's just go to sleep.
All four of them changed before laying down in their own respective beds, before succumbing towards sleep.
(timeskip)
Weiss was sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning, while Ruby, dressed in her strangely-colored school uniform, creeps up behind her and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed.
Ruby: Good morning, team RWBY! And Kirito and Alice.
Weiss: (from the floor) What in the world is wrong with you?
Ruby: (ignoring the question) Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business.
Weiss: (getting up and brushing herself off) Excuse me?
Yang: (holding a collection of objects) Decorating!
Weiss: What?!
Blake: (lifting her suitcase) We still have to unpack. (the suitcase opens, spilling its contents) Aaaand clean.
Weiss does not look enthusiastic, especially when Ruby knocks her back again with the blow of her whistle.
Ruby: Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission!(raises her fist into the air) Banzai!
Ruby with Blake and Yang: (doing the same at her sides) Banzai!
Kirito: Alice and I don't have anything to unpack, so we are going on ahead.\
Blake: We'll see you soon.
Team RWBY then started unpacking their stuff into the room. Yang placed a poster of six guys in various poses named "THE ACHIEVE MEN" on her part of the room. Weiss positions a painting of the [Forever Fall] to perfection and walks away. Blake was busy putting away her books on the shelves, before picking up a copy of [Ninjas of Love] and widening her eyes as she warily looks around before putting it back. Ruby positioned [Crescent Rose] at an exact angle against the curtains so she can perfectly slash a diagonal portion off. the four girls finish up before they realized a problem.
Weiss: This isn't going to work.
Blake: It is a bit cramped.
Yang: Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff...
Ruby: Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!
Weiss: Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous.
Yang: And super-awesome!
Blake: It does seem efficient.
Weiss: Well, we should put it to a vote!
Ruby: I think we just did.
Blake thumbs up the idea while Yang makes a double-rocker gesture. Weiss, however, angrily curls her fists at her side. Decided, they rush at the beds, where sounds of jackhammering and sawing are heard until they gather back at the front of the room.
Ruby: Objective: Complete!
While Weiss' bed is simply on the ground next to her art and luggage, Blake's bed is next to her books, which are used to raise Yang's bed over it by placing the novels on the posts, and Ruby's is hanging from ropes on the ceiling with a blanket used as a tent over it.
Ruby: Allllright! Our second order of business iiiiiiiis...!" (she lands on her bed and a book lands in her lap) Classes... (pulls out a pencil) Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be-
Weiss: What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?
Ruby: Uuuum...
Weiss: It's 8:55, you dunce!
Weiss rushed out of the room and down the hall, the remaining members of RWBY and JNPR peeking out from their doorways to look at her go.
Ruby: (flabbergasted until she decides:) To class!
Ruby runs out, followed by Yang, and Blake.
Jaune: Class...?
Jaune loses his balance and ends up toppling Nora, Pyrrha, and Lie on top of him. He manages to get out from under them and start dashing.
Jaune: We're gonna be late!
In the courtyard, Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch watch the two teams hurry through the school. Glynda looks at her watch, and Ozpin simply sips his drink.
(linebreak)
The sight of an axe/blunderbuss weapon pans down to the boards displaying various species of [Grimm] - [King Taijitu], [Death Stalker], [Beowolf], [Boarbatusk], [Nevermore], and [Ursa] - behind an elderly teacher named Peter Port.
Port: Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of [Grimm] have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!
The members of RWBY, seated on the front row, are in varying stages of interest; Blake and Yang are sitting up and paying attention, Weiss is taking notes, and Ruby has her head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result. Kirito is mildly paying attention, while Alice deadpans from the joke.
Port: Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses... (gives Yang a wink, which she groans uncomfortably at) Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!
Student: (raises his fist) Ayyyy-yep! (stands for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed)
Port: That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy...
His words fade into the background when Weiss notices Ruby is very focused on penciling the paper in front of her.
Port: ...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me...
The speech evolves into more "blah"s as Ruby chuckles at her creation and shows it to her teammates: a ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Ruby blows a quick raspberry. Blake and Yang laugh, but Weiss looks annoyed. Kirito turns around for a bit, before turning back around, thinking to himself.
Port: Ah-heh-hem! (he waits until he has their attention again) In the end, the [Beowolf] was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!
The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's antics.
Port: The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!
Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face.
Port: A true Huntsman must be dependable!
Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year.
Port: A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!
Ruby is not-so-subtly picking her nose, much to Weiss' building anger.
Port: So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?
Weiss: (still angry, she raises her hand) I do, sir!
Port: Anyone else? No? Well, then, let's find out! (he turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it) Step forward, and face your opponent!
(AN: And that's all that there it is. As you have noticed, I have not updated in a while. truth is, it's exam period for me, and they are my main priority. So I won't update for a while, especially since I still haven't received my computer from Jeff Bezos. So tho most you will have to wait is one week. Sorry!)
