Back to Third POV:
Glynda, her face a mask of stern stoicism, focused her gaze intently on Ruby Rose. Her eyes, sharp and discerning, seemed to silently appraise Hadryn, who sat clad in his armor, the metallic plates gleaming under the room's light. Ozpin, an enigmatic figure whose knowledge seemed to surpass their own understanding of themselves, continued to observe the pair with an unreadable expression.For a moment, the room was enveloped in silence, broken only by the faint clinking of Hadryn's armor. Then, Ozpin's voice cut through the quiet, his question blunt and direct.
Ozpin: "Do you know who I am?" he asked, his tone laced with curiosity. He didn't pause for breath, the question hanging in the air between them.
Ruby: "You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon."
Ruby was quick to respond, her voice clear and confidentA smile tugged at the corners of Ozpin's mouth as he nodded in acknowledgment,
Ozpin: "Hello."Throughout this exchange, Hadryn remained silent, his gaze never wavering from the two figures before him. Even through the bars of his helmet, his eyes were careful and watchful, despite his internal reassurances that they posed no threat. He finally broke his silence, his voice deep and steady, betraying a hint of defensiveness,
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Ruby echoed his sentiment, her voice ringing out comfortably in the roomThe pair turned to face each other, their words mirroring each other perfectly. Their brief moment of camaraderie was interrupted by Ozpin's voice once again.
Ozpin: "You want to come to my school?"
He asked, his question pulling them back from their shared moment.in the midst of a conversation, Ozpin, the headmaster of the prestigious Beacon Academy located in Vale, turned his attention to the talented duo, Ruby and Hadryn. His question was direct and filled with anticipation,
Ozpin: "Would you consider attending Beacon Academy?"Ruby: "More than anything."
Ruby, a young girl with dreams as bright as her name, didn't hesitate for a moment. Her response was immediate and filled with an eagerness that was palpable. She spoke in a calm and steady voice, betraying the excitement that was bubbling within her,Hadryn, who had been sitting defensively beside Ruby, chimed in at this point. He raised his gauntleted hand, the gesture signifying his agreement and support for Ruby's decision. His voice was steady as he added,
Hadryn: "She's been dreaming of doing so since she was 6."Ozpin shared a glance with Glynda, his trusted colleague, who was still eyeing Hadryn with a hint of caution. After a moment of silent deliberation, Ozpin turned his gaze back to the young hopefuls. His voice held a note of approval as he said,
Ozpin: "Very well, that's okay."Ruby's reaction was immediate. A wide smile spread across her face, her eyes shining with joy and disbelief. She bobbed up and down in her seat, unable to contain her excitement. Hadryn, on the other hand, remained as indifferent as ever, his expression unreadable.
Ruby was silently shocked at how easily Ozpin had agreed to let her attend Beacon Academy. She knew that Ozpin was aware of her long-standing desire to join the academy. She had often spoken about her aspirations to become a Huntress, about the adventures she would embark on, and the fun she would have. And through it all, Hadryn had always been there, listening attentively, always lending her an ear, always supporting her dreams. Now, it seemed, her dreams were about to become a reality.
