I was 7 when I learned the quadratic formula. Never used in my life. Lots of the mathematics that the academy told us would be important for when you're an adult. But here I am, a 20 year old, as a first year at an academy full of 17-ish year old students. Even when I calculate the distance and probability of things, I have yet to use that equation.

It's the only thing that is truly useless in my life. Being desperate to survive off of practically nothing, the quadratic equation is excessive.

Using mathematics in a normal basic life, isn't what I do. I crave my life, and that means using any sort of mathematical or scientific hypothesis to increase my chances of survival.

I do not plan to be a doctor, physicist, astronomer, after I get what I want. After everything is settled I plan to become an ordinary citizen, with ordinary skills, wanting to live an ordinary life. Away from issues that arise within Ayster and beyond.

Today was the morning of the team results. Uncle said that my proposal was worth trying out. I hope, and I really do hope that he sees it.

Inside the main Beacon hall, behind the curtains of the auditorium. Nine different people await for their call.

"Jaune Arc. Nora Valkyrie. Pyrrha Nikos. Lie Ren. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR."

Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug.

"Led by... Jaune Arc!"

So, he did not follow through with making Pyrr the leader. Just what did you even ask for Uncle.

"Huh? L-Led by...?" Jaune stuttered.

"Congratulations, young man." Uncle said.

A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.

"And finally. This team is going to be an enigma to the four academies team rule. I saw potential with all  of these young ladies. I simply couldn't afford the lose of strength these girls contain and will continue to grow. Please step forward; Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long." He motioned for them to step on stage. "Your four hold qualities that make up Huntresses. Yet, unfortunately, all of you hold flaws that will hinder growth within the team. Which is why—Kyuushou O'rs—please step onto the stage."

"Yes." I slowly walked onto the floor of the stage.

"I hope, that you will watch these girls grow and learn under your guidance and leadership. Kyuushou O'rs, I assign you to be the leader of this five member team. KYWR-B. Quartz-Blanc. With Ruby Rose. Being the teams vice-leader, under the command that you aren't present."

"I—me?!" Ruby points to herself while Weiss remained a statue from utter disbelief.

"Yes. You heard me right, Miss Rose." Uncle said, but it was inaudible from the sheer volume of applause that was heard. "Congratulations, team KYWR-B."

"Yang! Yang! Yang!" Ruby exclaimed under her happy face, beogre piggy-backing her sister's back. "Onward to our mansion!"

Yang bolted with her sister still on her back.

"Slow down." Weiss sighed, "you don't want to enter into the wrong room. O'rs... what the room's number?"

"37." I looked at the coordinates that Uncle gave us.

"Here! Here!" Ruby jumped off of Yang, "37! Oh I can't wait to see our new baby!"

"Ruby. Please don't refer to things as your baby, it'll cause severe misunderstandings along the line." I suggested.

"Right! Sorry about that Leader!" She replied.

"Congrats." Blake patted my back.

"T-thanks."

"O'rs... better not run away." Cross armed, Weiss gave me a smirk.

"I... won't. I promise I won't, Schnee."

"Keep that promise. O'rs."

"Woah..." The five of us gasp in unison.

The room was spacious, bigger compared to what JNPR showed us. It was twice the size of their room. Having the possibility to have more decorative furniture and space available for us. All the beds lined up in a straight line.

"It's massive." Blake drops her stuff off near one of the beds.

"Yeah, it really is." I take the bed in the far corner of the room. Laying down I stare at the ceiling of the bedroom. "This is nice."

"It sure is." Yang said.

"So Kyuushou, what's your plan for today?" Ruby asked.

"I... don't want to do anything really. My body's so sore. Today's also the day off, before classes actually start. I guess we could... properly introduce ourselves?"

"I'll start, the names Yang Xiao Long. Known across the areas of Vale and Patch. I like living it wild girls. But listen." Her tone became dark. "Even though we're teammates. Even if we're friends. If any of you touch a hair on my head... you're gonna have a hard time."

"Yang. No one's going to touch a hair. Isn't that right everyone?" Ruby calmed her down, with everyone nodding their head. "I... guess it's my turn. The names Ruby Rose. Yang's sister. ...I like cookies! And—uh—it's a pleasure to be here. As... your co-leader... I hope that we can all be friends!"

Blake spoke next. "I'm Blake. Blake Belladonna. I read books. That all."

"Well. I think all of you should know me. Weiss Schnee. Heiress of the Schnee Family. If you must know, I do not tolerate any foolish behaviour. You'll only tarnish my reputation."

"Schnee. I think this team won't give you that issue."

"Um.." Blake interjected, "you two fully know each other?"

"Practically her sister." I said.

"Practically?" Ruby questioned.

"Childhood friends really. But I see ourselves as sisters." I confirmed.

"Huh. Cool." Yang replied.

"So... Kyuushou... tell us about yourself." Ruby said.

"Alright," I sat straight up on my bed. "I'm Kyuushou O'rs. Although you already know that. 20, older than a majority of the students. From Ayster, specifically the manufacturing branch. It's... a pleasure to meet and 'see' you."
