Pilot of Remnant (RWBY)

Chapter 10

Shortly after Ozpin walks away, you start making your way to the amphitheater. Finally entering the room, you see large groups of students, all sorted in sections based on the schools they are part of. Taking your place at the rear of the Beacon students, Ozpin begins his speech. 

Ozpin: Today we stand together, united. Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo, Vale. The four kingdoms of Remnant. On this day nearly eighty years ago, the largest war in recorded history came to an end. It was a war of ignorance, of greed, and of oppression. A war that was about much more than where borders feel or who traded with whom. But about the very idea of individualism itself. We fought for countless reasons, one of which being the destruction of all forms of art and self expression. And as you all are well aware, that was something many could not stand for. As a result, those who opposed this tyranny began naming their children after one of the core aspects of art itself. Color. It was their way to demonstrate that not only would they refuse to tolerate this oppression, but neither would the generations to come. And it was a trend that is held to this very day. We encourage individuality, expressionism, and unity. Through diversity. As I have said, today we stand together, united. But this bond cannot exist without effort. Which is why today, while the rest of the world celebrates peace, Huntsmen and Huntresses will work to uphold it. As first year students, you will be tasked with shadowing a professional Huntsman or Huntress, on a mission. Some of you may be taken out of the kingdom for several days. Others may work within the walls for the rest of the week. But no matter which path you choose, remember to be safe, remember your training, and remember to do your very best. 

The room fills with clapping and you watch the various teams form up and start heading to the mission boards to select their assignments. Neo walks up to you, leaving JNPR. Noticing she looks a little sad but quickly changes to a happier image as she approaches.

Y/N: What's wrong?

Neo: I overheard that you won't be going on a mission. That you will be staying here and helping Goodwitch.

Y/N: Well that doesn't necessarily mean that we won't be going on a mission.

Goodwitch: No, you won't be going on a mission.

Y/N: Jesus Christ! Where did you come from!?

You quickly turn towards the sound and you see Glynda standing behind you.

Goodwitch: The stage.

Y/N: Well duh, but what do you mean that we won't be going on a mission?

Goodwitch: I said that you won't be going on a mission. I have been informed by Professor Ozpin that Neopolitan is free to join another team on a mission if she so chooses. He recommended that she go with team RWBY. I'm not even going to try to understand why he is letting one of you go and not the other, but that's not what I am here for.

Neo looks at you with a sort of questioning expression.

Y/N: Neo, if you would like to go with RWBY then you are free to do as you wish. You've proven yourself with JNPR so I am sure you would do just the same with RWBY.

Neo walks forwards and hugs you for a moment before pulling you down and kissing you on the cheek. She then walks off in the direction of RWBY, where you see Ozpin currently talking to them by one of the mission boards. You then turn your attention back to Glynda.

Y/N: Soooo, other than letting us know that I can't go on a mission but Neo can, is there anything else you need?

Goodwitch: Nothing that can't be discussed in my office, now come along Mr. L/N.

Glynda then begins to walk out of the amphitheater and you see Ozpin smiling at you as you follow. You dismiss it and continue to follow Glynda. Finally arriving at her office, she turns to set her tablet on her desk.
