Lost Father

School Pt 1

Neo POV 

My dream reaches its end when I'm blasted awake by a loud noise. After falling off the couch I look up to see Ruby holding a whistle.

Ruby: "Good morning team RWBY, plus Neo! Now that you're all awake we can begin our first mission."

Neo: "Which is?"

Yang: "Decorating."

Blake pulls out a suitcase.

Blake: "We still need to unpack."

The suitcase opens spilling everything.

Blake: "And to clean."

Ruby: "Alright, let's do this! Banzai!"

Yang/Blake: "Banzai!"

I get up and head to the bathroom to change. As I grab my shirt I spot my stomach. I sigh remembering that day. Not wanting to get sad I throw on my coat and join the others as they head to class.

Port: "The Grimm are know by many names. But to me they'll always be known as game."

He laughs. But he quickly stops seeing that none of us are laughing.

Port: "Uh you shall call them this too upon your graduation. Now as you know Vale as well as the three other kingdoms are safe hubs in an otherwise dangerous world. A world that's full of creatures ready to tear you apart. But that's where we come in, Huntsmen and Huntresses."

He winks at Yang who responds by rolling her eyes.

Port: "These are individuals who've sworn their lives to protect those who can't protect themselves. From what you ask? Why the world! That's why you're here, to aid in this mission. But before we get into all that I'd like to share with you a story. When I was but a boy..."

I groan wishing for this class to be over. My groan must've been too loud because Port stops his story.

Port: "Am I boring you?"

Neo: "Little bit."

Port: "Then how about a live lesson? Gather your weapon and come down here."

I head to the locker room withdrawing my parasol. I then return to the arena.

Port: "Let this match, begin!!!"

He shoots a lock making a cage door fall down. A Borbatusk then roars before running towards me. I aim my parasol opening fire at the Borbatusk. It simply runs to the side dodging my bullets. I revert my gun charging towards the Borbatusk.

I bring my parasol down but the Borbatusk jumps to the side. It then attempts to bite down on  my ankle. I shatter reappearing on it. I grab its tusks as it yips and begins bucking. It's all useless as I maintain my grip. 

After withdrawing my sword I ram it into the Borbatusk's side. It hollers before bucking me off with my sword still in its side. I slide to a stop as the Borbatusk turns snorting at me. It kicks up the ground as I ready myself.

Port: "What will you do without your weapon?"

The Borbatusk finally charges. Timing this carefully I leap into action. The Borbatusk swings its tusks attempting to gore me. I however side step grabbing my sword. I then give it a good swing cutting open its side. It squeals before bursting to dust.

Port: "Brilliant fighting. That's all the time we have for today. Study and always be on alert. Class dismissed."

The bell rings dismissing us. I holster my sword exiting class. Some time later I watch Jaune fight a punk named Cardin. Jaune swings his sword only to have it blocked by Cardin's mace. He then swings it knocking Jaune away. He hits the ground getting robbed of his shield. 

Not giving up he stands rushing towards Cardin. He then brings his sword down but has it blocked by Cardin holding his mace sideways. He's then overpowered getting pushed to his knee

Cardin: "Give up tiny."

Jaune: "I won't ever-"

He's cut off by Cardin slamming his knee into his stomach. He drops to the ground as Cardin raises his mace. Before he can bring it down Glynda stops the fight.

Glynda: "That's enough Cardin. As you all can tell Jaune's aura is in the red. This would mean he's incapable of continuing and the winner would be called."

She looks to Jaune.

Glynda: "It's been weeks now and you've still yet to show improvement. Knowing when to attack or defend spells the difference between life or death. We wouldn't want you to to die would we?"

Cardin: *quietly* "I would."

Glynda: "As for the rest of you. If you want to compete in the tournament be sure to keep up your training for you'll be representing your kingdom."
