Locker Room

Bell's POV

While prepping for initiation, I opted for comfort over protection, choosing a light gray sweatshirt, comfy black joggers, and Remnant's equivalent of white chucks. With my katana securely strapped to my back, I also grabbed a pair of sunglasses – gotta keep these eyes hidden.

As I gazed into my locker, my eyes fell on a small pack. It contained my spider legs, a work in progress that was still under wraps, I can't wait to use them but I can't. Bell Parker couldn't reveal the full extent of his powers and weapons just yet. Right now, it was all about showcasing super strength, lightning-fast reflexes, amazing agility, and mastery of the katana. They'll see what Bell Parker could do, for now. Spider-Man would have to wait for his debut.

I make my way over to where Ruby and Yang are, catching them in the middle of a heated argument about Ruby needing to "break out of her shell."

"That's absolutely ridiculous, Yang! I don't need to break out of my shell!" Ruby declares, her frustration evident.

"Okay, okay, Ruby, relax. I'm just saying..." Yang tries to defuse the situation, but her words don't seem soothing to Ruby.

As I approached, Yang noticed my attire and couldn't help but comment, "Hey, Bell, nice get-up! Why so comfy?"

I flash a confident grin and reply, "Oh, you know, this initiation is going to be a walk in the park, so I decided, why not relax and wear something nice."

Yang raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Oh, really? You wouldn't mind taking on all the big, bad Grimm, then?"

I shrug, my confidence undeterred. "Nope, it's just extra practice for me."

It really is more practice I'm basically a fully trained huntsman, and I could give Qrow a run for his money. Instead I'll probably just watch Owen and see how he fights get a first-hand view of his fighting style, or check if anything new happens like in fanfiction in my past life, always something new or different to the story.

That makes me wonder how much has changed since I got here, I know I somehow caused Owen to exist, did anything else change? maybe, but I'll see if any changes were made eventually.

We continue chatting and soon make our way to the cliff where the initiation is set to take place. But something catches my eye.

Lockroom Section C
Weiss POV

Me and Pyrrha were getting ready at our lockers.

"So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!" I remarked.

"Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may," Pyrrha replied.

"Well... I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together,"

"Well, that sounds grand!" Pyrrha agreed.

"Great!"

The background seemed to disappear into a thundercloud as Weiss adopted a scheming pose with a manic smile.

This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! And with Owen, together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!

Jaune pops in next to me and Pyrrha.

"You know what else is great? Me, Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you," Jaune says.
