Everknight

Chapter 13

Team RNBY stands silently in front of Professor Ozpin's desk. Even Nora, who normally can't help but bounce around, is standing still like a statue. The man himself was calmly flickering through his scroll occasionally typing something into it. After finishing his task, Ozpin shifts his eyes to his students and gave them a small smile.

"There's no need to be so tense. None of you are in trouble." He folds his hands together and leans on his desk. "Though I must say. Things have become more complicated with your encounter with a certain... Blond young man and his Grimm."

Nora instantly shoots her hand into the air. "I have so many questions about that! Like how can someone control Grimm like some sort of supervillain?"

"Yeah! Like, what the heck?!" Yang joins in on the startup of the question barrage. "Not only were our minds screwed with so that that none of us can remember that guy's face, but he can open portals out of nowhere and control Grimm to the boot! That's like three semblances!"

"He's working with the White Fang despite being a Human." Quietly sneaking her own questions among her loud-mouth teammates, Blake was riddled with worries about her parent's old friend, Tukson. The man is currently missing and the police are asking for his whereabouts making her even more worried.

Ren remained quiet, letting his more outspoken teammates ask the same question he has on his mind. He knows this is poor leadership behavior, but he can't help but feel that something big is moving behind the scene and figured it's best to let his teammates dig things up to know what they've gotten themselves into.

If only Professor Glynda Goodwitch was here to quell their incessant questioning. However, the stern professor is currently assisting the police in their investigation efforts.

Speaking of the police, they treated Team RNBY well after finding out they were students from Beacon and that they were responding to a terrorist attack. Still, the police had a job to do and the team of huntsman and huntresses in training were interviewed about the attack that took place on the bookstore. They did their best to answer the police questions truthfully, how they were drawn to the crime scene, describing the White Fang soldiers they tried to apprehend... Only then did things got slightly complicated when they tried to recall the blond teenage boy and his Creatures of Grimm that stood in their way.

Then Professor Ozpin showed up with Professor Glynda Goodwitch to talk with the lead investigator and then the police chief.

It was then that Ren felt something in the air shift. The once guarded and stoic air that permeate the police station was slowly replaced with apprehension as Ozpin took aside several important-looking people to another room to discuss something. Not long after did the police let Team RNBY go while Professor Glynda stayed behind.

"Ahem. If I may?" The girls immediately went quiet. Ozpin's small smile shifts to a serious expression. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions. I myself, also share some of your concerns. However, I can confidentially say that our elusive blond suspect is no stranger to us."

"So... Who is he?"

"I'm afraid we do not know much about him. All we know is that he's known as the Everknight and is affiliated with a dangerous organization that's capable of exerting great influence over others." Ozpin stands up from his seat and turns to face the window that overlooked the forests. "And from what I've gathered, he possesses abilities above what a huntsman would consider normal."
