vale

forever falls, vale,

in the middle of the forest, we can see a young man wearing tattered clothes sitting beneath a tree as he inspected his sword,

Ethan had woken up a few hours ago, the first thing he noticed was his enhanced body, at first, he had issues doing normal things like walking and jumping because of the changes in his body, but he soon managed to adapt to his new powers, it was then that he discovered the changes that had happened to his weapon,

on the surface, his god arc, the black devil, looked completely fine, but Ethan knew that it was anything but fine,

he was always able to feel a connection between himself and the black devil, this was due to the semi-sentient nature of the oracle cells in the god arc, but now he was able to sense that the connection had grown much deeper than anything he thought possible, and he knew a lot about the god arc, considering that he had worked together with the researchers to create his very first 4th generation god arc, the only one in existence,

the god arc that was capable of changing from a sword, to a minigun, to a tower shield, and finally a rocket board that could be used to temporarily go high in the air to take out any airborne aragami,

however, because of all these features, the compatibility rate for the arc was close to zero, many top tier god eaters had tried to use the weapon, only to end up devoured by the god arc in a flash of black light, this had earned it the name black devil,

Ethan was able to sense that the semi-sentient god cells had become completely sentient but it only had the intelligence of a dog or a cat,

he had also examined the weapon to see that the cells had fused with the very metal used to create the god arc, making it near indestructible, combined with his extreme compatibility rate that was almost as strong as Utsugi Lenka, an old god eater from over 60 years ago, he was sure that not even pita would be able to damage his god arc,

as the god eater was thinking about his situation, he failed to sense the approach of an old man and a woman coming towards him,

--------------------------------------------

Ozpin was not having a great day, at first, he received an admission request from a descendant of the arc family, but the kid called Jaune had faked his documents, normally, he would not be allowed into the school, but ozpin allowed the kid in any way, Glynda proceeded to barrage the old man into the ground with her words,

as if that was not enough, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful energy wave that was multiple times more powerful then even Salem herself, the worst thing was that the energy wave felt as if the being generating it was not even trying, that meat that the power he felt was the basic minimum of the being,

he immediately took Glynda and flew over to the source of the energy in forever falls, but the moment he spotted the source, he doubted his eyes,

it was a human teenager, a young man that looked to be 17 years of age, he had blonde hair similar to Glynda, and deep blue eyes, his body structure which was visible through his torn shirt indicated his experience in fighting because of the compact form of his muscles which undoubtedly contained explosive power, but what terrified ozpin was the sword in his hands,

if he did not know that the relic of Destruction was in Shade and looked after by the summer maiden, then he would have definitely assumed it to be the said relic, the power oozing off of the weapon was truly terrifying,

he walked towards the absentminded young man and said,

"you know, this is not a place that a young man should be by himself"

-----------------------------------------

Ethan was startled by the sudden voice coming from his right, he immediately turned around to find an old man walking towards him with a beautiful woman,

he immediately became defensive and brought up the black devil in a defensive stance,

"Who are you?"

"my name is ozpin and this is Glynda, i am the headmaster of beacon academy," the old man said, this sent all the warning bells in his mind ringing,

this statement immediately confirmed his suspicions that he was in a different dimension, there existed only a handful of schools on earth and he knew for a fact that none of them were named beacon,

the blond woman, Glynda lost her patience and said,

"from the looks of it, i assume that you are a hunter, if so, what were you doing in this forest?" she asked to which Ethan replied wearily,

"i was attacked by-" before he could continue, ozpin intervened,

"by Grimm??" he asked, Ethan immediately filed away the unknown word to search information later,

he decided to play dumb for some time until he learned about this world so he simply nodded,

"that must have been tough, come, we will take you to vale," ozpin said ignoring the disapproving stare from Glynda, Ethan himself ignored the suspicious stare sent by Glynda and boarded the strange-looking flight,

after a few hours, they arrived at what looked to be a city, surrounded by mountains and ocean,

after he thanked them and left for the town, Glynda turned towards ozpin,

"what are you planning? letting unknown individuals into the city, i know that he lied when he said he was attacked by Grimm, why did you allow him to get away?" she said to which ozpin said,

"i know that you do not like what i did, but i did not want to provoke someone who could possibly defeat Salem single-handedly, besides, even though he is clearly neutral, wouldn't it be good to have someone like him inside vale so that he can grow attached to the city?" he said with logic which shut up Glynda who was now fuming,
