Humanity born from the dust of the earth had also received the gift of knowledge. Knowledge gave humanity the wisdom to realize just how cruel and unforgivable this world called Remnant really was. The world that will not let you forget even for a second what terrible predators stalk its every corner.

Creatures of Grimm.

It's possible that their sole reason for existence, these creatures full of mystery which we call grimm, is to attack humans, to pursue them, to devour them. They need no food to survive, they need no water, all they seem to need is to kill.

The method of their hunts is the simple act of complete slaughter without any kind of precision, therefore since the times of long past, they have continued to be the nightmare of humanity everywhere.

Facing the claws and fangs of these monsters, the flesh of humans stood no chance. However, humans were born with knowledge, and asked themselves the question constantly, "what do we need to be able to protect ourselves?"

Weapons.

Humans needed weapons to protect our frail bodies. Weapons that can fight these monsters, weapons that can kill these monsters. That power alone needed a resource of immense power, which by no means was easily found.

But if this went on ...

Humans were born from the earth.
Yes, humans were born from ... DUST.

"... Therefore, dust is the crystallization of nature's energy. Fire, lightning, ice, and nature's elemental forces are contained within these crystals."

The screen changes to an image of crystals of varying colors.

"Since long ago humanity has continued to use this natural resource, however, there is one problem."

The screen changes again, now to an image of an exploding crystal.

"To control the raw energy of nature, one needed extreme finesse and technique. So our forefathers thought if the power cannot be easily mastered, why not refine it so that it CAN be easily used."

Images were changed again, now to the benefits of Dust. Various shapes and sizes cut from the crystals. Ones used in cars, ones used in projects.

Ones used in weapons.

"The refinement of Dust to allow safe usage gave way to innovation, civilization and of course the burgeoning Dust industry. One could say our future..."

The screen changes once again, now to a scene of children laughing in front of a backdrop of skyscrapers.

"Hm."

A hotdog suddenly is thrust before his eyes.

While lounging in front of the event venue's giant monitor and watching its recordings a startled Jaune Arc quickly moves his body. Below his blonde hair, his blue eyes are opened wide and start searching for his companion.

The food stand's owner, an elderly man with thin eyes and a balding head that has lost hair all around the top of his head, again thrusts a hotdog at Jaune.

Jaune, remembering that he ordered a hotdog, looks back and sees the people lining up behind him, and notices they all gave him the look that said: "Finish up already!"

Quickly pulling out his wallet and paying for his hotdog, Jaune leaves the line. And a little bit from the food stand stood his friend.

As Jaune chews through his hotdog his friend, Lie Ren, asks him with cool and calm eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Now together, they turn from the food stand's line towards the assembly hall.
