The return journey passed surprisingly quickly. Pyrrha, who was sitting next to me, put her hand on my shoulder and said, "Jaune, we are here, it's time to get off."

I was lost in thought so I didn't react right away, only when she lightly nudged me in the side I realized that we were on the spot and it was time to get off. I left the ship still quite confused. It is true that I managed to awaken the aura (it was more Pyrrha's merit than mine) I even defeated my first gimm!. It's true that it was small and kind of miserable, but you have to start somewhere. To tell the truth, I thought that at academi Beacon (which has the opinion of the best) I would be properly trained and equipped with the necessary equipment, and here you are immediately thrown into deep water, learn to swim or drown! I knew it wasn't fair to forge documents, but wouldn't that be the stupidest thing I've ever done? Well, I brewed this beer myself, so now I have to drink it and hope I don't choke on it.

It turned out that they would not even give a moment of rest. They didn't even let us take a shower about dinner, not even mentioning, we were immediately led to the roll call where the teams and their leaders will be announced. Pyrrha, Nora, Ren and I were walking together, we decided not to tear each other apart so we wouldn't need to search for each other, because we were pretty sure we'd end up on the same team. If they were watching us, and I'm definitely convinced of that, it was perfectly logical to put us together as a team.

The whole ceremony went really smoothly. First, the read-out people entered the stage, then the captain of a given squad was changed, applause, and so on. At one point, I noticed a familiar person on the stage. It was Cardin Winchester (So he also managed to survive the forest, I guess I shouldn't be surprised) He was standing with three of his peers. who were very similar to each other. Each of them was tall and well built, and to my surprise it was Cardin who was declared captain. Well, now he will walk proud as a peacock. Well, I just have to continue my resolve and try to avoid it. Another surprise was that Ruby also became captain. This girl never ceases to amaze me, not only did she start Beacon two years in advance, but now she's becoming a captain, just amazing.

Finally, I was called. It happened exactly as I thought I was standing on stage with Pyrrha, Ren and Nora. Our team has been given the name JNPR. I was turning my head to Pyrrha to say how happy I am that we are on the same team and that they will be an amazing captain, when suddenly from the speakers I heard "And Jaune Arc is the captain!" I felt as if time had stopped. Pyrrha put her hand on my shoulder. "Congratulations, Jaune, I'm sure you'll do great. And remember that I'm always willing to help if needed." I should thank her and confirm that I can handle it. However, I didn't do it for a simple reason, it must have been a mistake or someone is making a stupid joke after all, it's impossible.

I was in such shock that I didn't notice that Director Ozpin was heading my way. From my perspective, it looks as if it suddenly sprang out of the ground. He extended his hand towards me. I hugged her without even thinking about it. Only the firm and cold voice of the director brought me back to earth. "Congratulations Mr Arc. I have high hopes for you, however, I realize that you may be feeling at this point..." The pause seemed to go on forever, and the silence was almost painful. In addition, I felt that I was starting to bend under his searching gaze. Thankfully, Ozpin finally found the right words and continued, "Anxiety and confusion, but I believe we will remedy these issues. By the way, I'm inviting you to my office tomorrow, I believe we have a lot to discuss. All right?" I nodded in agreement, still not believing what had just happened.
