A Korpsman's Purpose || WH40K Korpsman Reader x RWBY

Chapter Four - Somewhere Between

(Greetings buds, I just wanna make this perfectly clear before I go on: I have never played the tabletop nor a single one of the games. I find the concepts entertaining and I will take creative liberties with the properties I'm parodying because first and foremost, I am writing this for my own enjoyment. Also, took forever to get out because I've been busy with getting into University and writing another, larger project which I will hopefully release eventually. I'll write when I feel motivated, and I felt motivated recently.

I have been here maybe two months now. Ever since that display with Cardin, I'm a certified celebrity in this school now. I'm the suicidal dude with no aura. I resent that title as I am not suicidal.

I have been pretty much strictly hanging out with Team RWBY as they're the only ones who have really been legitimately nice to me from the very beginning, plus I kinda owe Yang for taking me here and not letting me wander the streets like a concussed vagrant. Ruby is Ruby, always happy to see me and always super nice. Weiss is... pretty sure she still hates me, but she can stand me being around now. She and I may not see eye-to-eye, so we just avoid each other. Blake and I can make idle chatter, but I find it difficult to get her to take her eyes out of a book when I am doing anything other than talking about myself or where I come from. Yang is just less extreme Ruby; she's kind and loves a good pun, but has also gotten a little strange in the last few weeks.

What does it even mean when a girl nudges you? I think my side is starting to bruise from how often she nudges me, and she keeps nudging where Cardin smashed me during our bout. I read a book on socializing because I have found myself lacking in certain areas and apparently she is doing something called 'flirting' which is a way of showing affection to someone in an intimate or sexual sense. I don't really get it. Apparently she does this to a lot of guys though, so Weiss told me not to get too excited. How would one get 'excited' over this?

I finished making my respirator with scavenged parts because I was not able to find any source of income. It appears to me that the vast majority of 'missions' are given to second years and up. I am recognized for my combat ability even with my lack of aura though many appear to hold doubts about my ability to fight Grimm.

There is a lot I still don't know, but I have learned a lot from my classes in the last few months. I have seriously struggled with a few topics but Weiss or Blake are usually willing to help me out if I hassle them enough or have Ruby or Yang join us.

Recently, I have been growing more and more concerned about my own mental state. At seemingly random times, mostly while interacting with others or just going about my daily life, I have these sudden outbursts of rage. I've broken windows, I've put holes in walls, I've almost shot a few people. I just get the urge to smash something.

Right now I am heading up to Ozpin's office in order to find out the results of the tests I submitted myself to a little while ago. This was to figure out why exactly I never showed any aura or appeared to have a Semblance.

The mere concept of a 'Semblance' confused me. Apparently they are these powers and abilities that one gains along with their aura. Ruby's allows her superhuman speed, and Wiess' allows her to use Glyphs for various things, like holding me to the floor.

As I enter the office, I remove my burlap respirator and approach Ozpin's desk where he is sat down.

"Welcome, (Y/N). How are you acclimating to student life?" He asks me as he motions for me to sit down on a seat across from him. I sit down as I begin talking.

"I am doing okay. Have a few friends in the form of Team RWBY does help a lot. We Kriegsmen were never taught how to socialize past combat coordination. Our social vocabulary is limited. I have learned most of what I know through observation of others while I was on peaceful worlds or here. I am trying my best."
