Jaune Arc was always cautious, after all everyone would be cautious when living in Yharnam for most of their lifes, right now he is inside an aircraft, a Bullhead if he remembers correctly, and on his way to an academy for a new generations of Hunters, or were they called Huntsmen and Huntresses, he doesnt know anymore, but he does know why he is inside the Bullhead, it all started when he was around, hunting the Grimm, Soulless Creatures made of Negativity, Darkness and Magic, and helping the Villages outside the Four Kingdoms when he was approached by a well spoken man named Ozpin, whose soul was nearly a Millenia old and asked him why he does the things he does, Jaune gave a blunt answer and Ozpin offered him a place in that school, Jaune accepted seeing as this would be a great distraction from constantly looking for enemies, he wore the standart Hunters Set and next to him was his trusty Threaded Cane that he had upgraded and slightly changed, it still works like it used to but now turns to a sword as well, the Bullhead made a stop and he looked up from his Journal that he had been writing, he saw two Girls entering it, talking loudly and honestly, he liked what he saw, two pure hearts, even if one is slightly darker, and Souls, again even if one is slightly darker, he continued to write and mind his own buisness, until a ginger with armor started to annoy him, "Hey Loser, thats my seat." said the ginger and Jaune said "I dont see your name on it, besides, there are more seats to chose from.", the ginger got mad and said "You dare talk back to me, Cardin Winchester?!", Jaune sighed and continued writing, but stayed on guard incase Cardin attacks, which he did by throwing a punch, Jaune dodged it by tilting his head to the side and closed the Journal, he stored it in his coat and caught the fist with no difficulty, then he forced Cardin on the ground and planted a boot on his head, still holding the offending arm and said "Right now i could easily dislocate your arm with one quick movement, attack me one more time and i WILL make true of my threat.", Jaune let go of the arm and left the area, fully aware of the stares he is getting.
He went to the window and saw that they were almost there, he also heard something about "Bee's knees", wondering what bees have to do with knees, he shook the thought away when they recieved a message from the Headmistress, he listened for a bit and ignored the rest of her message, he knew the important stuff now such as her name being Glynda Goodwitch, he had to surpress a twitch as he had bad memories of Witches, and that they were at the academy, he had to admit, it looked grand, not as much as Cainhurst Castle, but still grand enough, when he exited the Bullhead he was greeted with an explosion on his left side, wanting to know what caused it, went there and saw a Girl in a white dress leaving with a foul mood, he looked inside the crater and saw a girl in red, she wore a red cape, dark red battle dress with a black corsette and had black hair with red tips, what put him off were the silver eyes that had arcane magic in them, but she seemed to be unaware of it, deciding to be a good person, even if moraly questionable at worst, he helped her, "Need a Hand?", the girl looked up and said "Thanks, my name is Ruby Rose.", Jaune then said "My name is Jaune Arc, short, sweet, rolls of the tounge and easy to remember.", "Is it?" asked Ruby and Jaune said "Ask the Villages outside.", they walked in a bit of silence until Ruby said "So, i got this thing.", she brought out a scythe that is easily twice the size of her and handled it like a veteran, "This is Cresent Rose, she is a scythe with a sniper riffle build in." said Ruby and Jaune said, "So its also a gun, alright.", Ruby was curious and asked "Whats your weapon?", Jaune chulcked and said "I have it in my hands, Long Night is its name and it saved my ass more times than i can count.", a jar filled with money suddenly was shoved into his face and Ruby said "SWEAR!", Jaune was immensely confused, he should have seen the summoning of the jar and should have seen it coming, but he digressed and put some lien in there, thank Kos that he had thought of changing his currency from blood to lien, otherwise he would be fucked sideways, they entered the school and made their way to the crowd of fresh meat, thanks to his enhanced hearing he knew exactly where they needed to go.
They talked while walking until someone yelled "Hey Ruby, i saved you a spot!", Ruby then said Goodbye and Jaune said "Hm, atleast i have a friend, now where do i take a seat.", unbeknownst to him, a red headed spartan with green eyes watched him, Ozpin finaly gave his mind numbing speech and Jaune had to use everything in his power to make sure that he stayed awake, that boring was Ozpin's speech, when he finished, Jaune stood up and left, some time went by and Jaune used said time to make himself familiar with the academy, lest he gets lost, something he had well enough experience with seeing as Yharnam was one giant maze, he then made himself ready to sleep, even if he doesnt need it anymore as he draws energy from the realities he calls his home, besides, he was asked by Amygdala to come to her realm, unfortunately he had no sleep wear and was forced to sleep topless, the new comers saw him enter and saw his very toned body littered with scars of all kinds, burn marks, scratch marks, tear marks, impalements, the list goes on and on and they wondered how he is even alive at this point, a majority of the populance had second thoughts or were turned on, they also wondered why he has the cane with him and someone asked "Why do you have a cane with you?", Jaune looked at them and said "Im never going somewhere unarmed.", they wondered why he said that seeing as this is just an ordinary cane, or at least thats what they think, Jaune went to a far corner and rested.
Ozpin pov
Jaune Arc is a mystery, when he looked at me in the eyes i knew he was something else entirely, despite his near human appearance, he perfectly blended in, the only thing that is not human like is his unnatural height and thin appearance, but what makes me on edge were hi eyes, they held so much knowledge in them that makes me second guess my own knowledge that i gathered throu out the years, when i looked through the cameras, the rest of Beacons staff is in the room as well, i saw Mr. Arc's wounds, never in my life have i seen such a battle worn body, he has practicaly the perfect body for this proffesion, and i can tell that he had hunted a lot in his years, "How is he even alive...?" asked Glynda and Port said "I dont know, but i do know that this year is far from normal, not with him around...", i turned my head to him and asked "Can you describe him for me Peter?", Port looked at Mr. Arc for a bit and the said, "Despite his unnatural height, skeletal and hunched over appearence, needle-like teeth and tentacle-like hair, his posture of extreme caution and paranoia, his step of a veteran who had seen EVERYTHING, he could pass off as a Veteran Huntsmen, why do you ask?", Port's question and description caused a bit of chaos as some only only a Teenager, some saying that he is taller than normal and finaly some saying that he should eat more, i came to the conclution that we can see through his disguise in some way, "With what you have told me, i must say that we are dealing with something we cant comprehend right now, i very much doubt that we would be able to comprehend at all, whatever he is, he is without a doubt ancient and in our school, i say we keep an eye on him and make sure that he feels at home.", after my speech Oobleck asked "Do you know what he is?", "I dont." was my only answer.
