Spark of hope (Yang Xaio Long x Male SI)

Chapter 2

Y/N stood in the courtyard of the academy examining everything around him, from the stone pillars that surrounded him and the stone statue in front of the school ,to the school itself. "little to no security, guess Roman was right about their ego and need to compensate." Y/N held out his hand pinching his fingers as a flame grew above them them. "last smoke before the kiddos arrive."

Y/N felt a small smirk grow on his face before lighting a cigarette and putting it to his lips. "It's always the quiets ones who have the weirdest sense of humor." Y/N looked up as he heard the massive ship approaching. "Blend in, grab some records and keep surveillance for a powerful hunter in training, simple my ass." Y/N scoffed tossing the cigarette aside as he walked towards the ship. "keep an eye out for someone who seems more confident than the rest or trying to keep to themselves more than usual."

Y/N watched as a flood of kids all ran out of the ship one of them barely making it to the trash can before losing his guts. "Not him." Y/N watched as a ginger girl practically flew out of the ship with a guy with black hair with a pink highlight rushed after her looking exasperated, the two looked like polar opposites.

Y/N examined them closer, the boy was wearing a green tailcoat with white pants and black shoes  while the girl wore a weird amalgimation of a dress, shirt and vest. "Regal and thrown together, a boulder and a lightning bolt." Y/N could tell that there was a hidden power beneath what he saw of the girl.  "A possible candidate, but we shall see."

Y/N made sure to memorize the two as he continued looking around noting how there were a few boys throwing their weight around. "Obviously bullies from their former schools, They think they have power but look closer and you'll see their weaker than you'd expect, don't get caught surrounded and you'll be fine." Y/N felt a small scowl form on his face. "Just like the orphanage." 

Y/N noted their appearance in case he wanted to relieve some stress. "Touch their egos and they'll happily fight." Y/N almost fell back as he saw a sight even Roman never could have expected. "A Schnee... AND HER BUTLER!" Y/N had to hide his snickering as he shook his head. "That's almost to easy of a target, wonder how much Adam would pay me to kill her... or if I brought the very heiress of the SDC to him." Y/N felt a very evil and despicable plan form before shattering.

"Pyrrha fucking Nikos, strong my ass, thank the brothers I'm only supposed to watch her instead of nab her. I'd be dead before I even swung." Y/N could feel the sweat form on his brow as he forced his eyes off her. "Last thing I need is her of all people to to be suspicious of me." 

Y/N shook his head as the last couple of students walked off the ship. "What my luck, the girlie who trashed Juniors club is here with a friend. He'll never believe me." Y/N took out his scroll and turning on the video  acting like he was taking a selfie before mouthing out some words to Junior and putting it away.

Y/N turned to see her red cloaked friend on the ground and sighed. "Well, I guess that's all for initial glances, let's see how they do in the school and see if I'm right." Y/N scoffed as he walked away towards the school as a massive explosion came from the entrance. "Whatever or whoever it is doesn't matter, just keep my cover under any circumstance."

Y/N found himself in the main auditorium watching as the red cloaked girl vomit boy walked in. "weakness usually pairs with strength, question is who is which." Y/N frowned for a moment before looking away towards Ozpin as he gave a speech. "The famous Ozpin here to talk down to us in the flesh, Roman wasn't exaggerating when he said he was boring... then again years being a headmaster would grow boring eventually."   

Y/N examined the crowd noting who stood where and with who. "So far Nikos and Goldie have quite a few "friends", doesn't mean sugar rush over there isn't out of the running." Y/N could tell the people around the ginger girl were slightly annoyed with how much she moved. Y/N looked to Ozpin as he dismissed everyone to go to sleep.

Y/N walked outside making a call. "How's the weather?" Y/N looked up noting it was a clear night. "Cloudy with a chance of rain." Y/N heard the man huff on the other side. "How's it going Y/N?" Y/N rolled his eyes as he walked around the statue. "Been better but good news, I made some friends today. I think I've found the rest of my team."

Y/N could practically feel the man on the other side freeze. "That's great, nobody has tried to bully you yet I assume." The man said through his teeth as Y/N clenched his jaw not wanting to bear the bad news. "There's two I have going forward, Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos, real spitfires." Y/N said as calmly as he could.

"Well if anything happens just call me or your mother so we can get this sorted out." Y/N nodded to himself. "As long as I keep my allowance I can stay clear of them by shopping off campus." Y/N said as he heard the man writing something down. "We'll talk about that later if your grades are good." Y/N smirked. "Then I'll be waiting." Y/N heard the click as the man disconnected and sighed.

"Now I wait for a return call from "dad", they know there's some serious threats and HVTs on campus so all that's left is keep an eye on everyone." Y/N turned and walked to the gym as a weight seemed to grow on his back. "Sorry Pa, but this is the only way." Y/N thought idly as he looked up at Beacon feeling a sad sense of accomplishment stopping him. "If only you could've seen this guys." 

Y/N could almost see his family surrounding him for a moment before shaking his head. "It's to late for that now foolish boy." Y/N strode forward leaving the feeling behind, he had a job to do.

White Fang Base some time later

"You've been staring at it for an hour now Taurus." Roman said with boredom as the man glanced up at him. "I want the Schnee brought here, I want to see her beg before I kill her." Roman rolled his eyes as he spun his cane. "Good luck with that edge lord." Adam stopped to stare Roman down as the LT stood in the back hand on his chainsaw.

"I will have my revenge." Roman nodded. "Yes, but you need to remember three things." Roman said leaning forward as Adam scoffed. "One, Pyrrha Nikos is there, two he said there is at minimum three people he thinks could beat if not kill him and lastly, my boys have noticed that the SDC has setup a base here in Vale." Adam snarled as Roman sat back.

"Down boy." The two turned to see a girl in a red dress with glowing orange eyes entering the room. "I assume you have the asset in Beacon Torch wick?" Roman nodded. "And he-Finally good for something it seems." Roman scowled at the girl as she looked around. "Continue to steal the dust and my boss will pay you handsomely, phase two will take effect near the Vytal Festival."

Roman and Adam leaned back obviously annoyed. "If I knew why you needed the dust, I could know what shipments to- You will do as you're told and nothing more, am I clear Torchwick?" Roman nodded as he grit his teeth. "And as for you Mr. vengeance, the Schnee is not a part of our plan, you will make no efforts to go after her... but if she attacks your dogs." The girl shrugged.

"Kill or capture is up to you." Adam snarled as his fingers into the wood and Roman backed away a bit. "You stuck up-!" Roman watched as a glass sword flew past Adams head barely nicking his cheek before slamming in the stone near the LTs neck. "Finish that sentence and you'll lose much more than your patience horn head."

Adam stared the woman down before sitting again. "Smart bull, now I heard you had someone with a flame semblance, where is he?"
