Chap 34) Before the trains.

With every student and team gathered, Professor Goodwitch immediately stood forward and took the mike.

"Professor Ozpin would like a few words before we begin." (Glynda)

With that said, she stood aside as Ozpin took the stage. Looking at the students, Ozpin started his speech about their mission, their responsibility. The past many look back and walk forward from, the ancestors that fought for them. Finally he ended the speech with him telling the students, telling them to remember their training and to be safe.

With that said, the various teams went forward towards the stations where they picked out their missions. Waiting in line, Kiana, the twins, Weiss and Pyrrha stood waiting while Ren and the others went to another terminal.

Finally their turn, Kiana scrolled through the terminal searching for a suitable mission and after 5 minutes of continuous scrolling, she finally found what she wanted. A mission outside of the walls, to clean and patrol a forgotten city.

With hopeful thoughts, Kiana and co immediately used her team card to register. But much to their discontent, her card was rejected with the message saying that only year 3 were allowed to partake in.

With the mission being rejected, Kiana suddenly started to feel pissed off and as she was about to find another mission, someone said something to her from behind.

"Hmm a scouting mission at one of the abandonned cities. A nice mission if i say so myself but with the high concentration of grimm, we determined it too much for year 1 students. Rather i believ that even with such restrictions, your team might be able to handle it. After all not only is the reknown Pyrrha Nikos with you, you have both Kiana and 2 more members alongside you." (Ozpin)

"I'm rather flattered by your praise professor, might I ask why have you come here rather then the comfort of your desk?" (Kiana) asked with a straight face.

"Yes indeed I may as well love to be behind the comfort of my desk, but it seems that many... issues may arise from students. So I have to leave that comfort to settle them." (Ozpin)

"Indeed true. Especially with people such as Cardin walking around." (Kiana)

"Hahaha a fine representation. But still my main goal now is to assist you in getting more experience. That said, there will be a bullhead on the south end of the school awaiting you." (Ozpin)

With that said, Ozpin tapping on his tablet, allowed team LNYP to attend the mission.

"We wont let you down." (Jaune)

Looking at the headmaster with reverence, everyone in the team was grateful for what he had done.

"Its not me to thank for but your abilities. Remember, this mission is for you to temper yourself."

With that said, Ozpin walked off into the crowd.

Looking at one another, Kiana and co went to gather their things before making their way towards the designated spot.

En-route towards their spot, they suddenly bumped into team CFVY, seeing Kiana and co appraoching, Velvet made no haste to run towards Kiana and greet her.

"Kiana!" (Velvet) saying cheerfully.

"Velvet its been awhile how are you?" (Kiana)

"Well its been quite nice, Yatsuhashi has been looking out for me most of the time. Heading out for your mission?" (Velvet)

"Yes, we are indeed heading out for our mission. How about yours, was your mission not supposed to end a week ago?" (Weiss)

"It was but there was a sudden flux of grimm which we had to take care of." (Velvet)

"Well at least you all came back in one piece thats what matters most." (Jaune)

"Yes it is. I gotta go now maybe after your mission we can catch up?" (Velvet

"Yes we will you dont need to worry about us." (Kiana)

With that said, both teams left one another as they made their way to their destination.

Kiana and co reaching their destination, were more or less shocked at what they saw or whom to be precise. It was Proffessor Oobleck.

"Well now girls! What are you waiting for?" (Oobleck)

With his insane speed, most of the gang attempted to understand what he said while Kiana just ignored him and walked to the bullhead, which no one realised.

Putting her things in the bulhead, Kiana allowed Bennu to rest in her bag as she knew that it was tired from its trip.

"Know where is your leader?" (Oobleck)

Finally done with his speech, Oobleck realised that Kiana was missing and with his question, everyone attempted to search for her.

Looking at their antiques, made Kiana laugh as she felt it rather stupid.

'PARTNER YOU CALLING THEM?' (Draig)

'Yah yah gimme a sec." (Kiana)

With that said, she exited the bullhead and called for them.

Realising that Kiana was already in the bullhead waiting, Jaune and co started to move fast towards the bullhead while Oobleck rushed towards the bullhead. With all hands on deck, they finally departed for their mission.
