Zenless Zone Jaune

Reunion with the Headmaster

Standing before the video store manager is his former headmaster. From Remnant. A place that is far from New Eridu. How the hell did he get here?

"You seem to be surprised to see me, Mr Arc," the headmaster said to him, "And good evening to you, Ms Arc," he greeted to Belle,

"Professor, h-how did you find us?" Jaune asked him,

"Yeah, this is very far from Beacon in Vale," Belle is curious to wonder how he got here,

Ozpin laughed a bit, "Funny story..."

Flashback

At the diner, Cheesetopia, in Blazewood. Ozpin and Piper are having a meal. The Beacon Headmaster never thought having cuisine from land outside of Remnant is possible but here he is. Luckily Piper told him the meal is on her after winning some Dennies from her usual scratch tickets. The granny began to speak, "So you know Proxy?"
"Is this Proxy how to refer to as Jaune Arc, then yes." he responded,

"He never told any of us his past life," the trucker said, "We just assumed he was from the Old Capitol,"

"Well I can see why," his eyes lowered in sorrow, "After everything that happened to him, he would rather not associate himself with anyone from his homeland,"

Piper yawns, "Well he is the manager of a place called Random Play, don't mention that he is a proxy. Public Sec and Sector 6 don't take too kindly to them,"

"Really why?" Piper explained to him why proxies and the government don't mix well. Ozpin had an understanding of what kind of life his former student was having and found it very interesting.

Flashback end

"Leading a double life as a hacker and video store manager. Mr Arc, you really sure an interesting young man," Ozpin complimented,

"Still doesn't answer why you are in The Outer Ring in the first place," Jaune asked of him,

"Well Jaune, after you left. Things have been problematic,"
"Team RWBY."
"Team RWBY." The headmaster sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose, just the thought of the problematic team gives him a headache, "You see, Miss Belladonna has been on a vigilante phase and got her team involved. One instanced lead to the destruction of the docks, putting the city of Vale at cost of millions of Lien,"

Jaune scoffs, "What did you expect when you let in a former White Fang terrorist into the school," Ozpin is a bit surprised that Jaune knew but then again, he is hacker,
"Well recently, they crashed into another White Fang rally which led to them leading an Atlas Paladin into the highway. And thought of using civilians as distractions and cannon fodder for Roman Torchwick,"

Belle is starting to fume, "Oh my Oum! Did those boo brains ever think of the repercussions of their actions!?"

"Ms Arc, I understand your furious but unfortunately, that isn't the worst of it," he continued on, "15 injured and 6 dead because of their actions," Both Arc siblings gasp at the toll, "4 of which where a family,"

"Headmaster, forgive me for saying this... You made a wrong decision in letting those girls into the school," Jaune glared,

"After dealing with the settlements to avoid giving them jail time and ruining their lives..." he noticed the looks of the siblings, "I know, I shouldn't have. Anyway, the school had to deal with major budget cuts afterwards," Jaune and Belle looked at the professor with sympathy, "Well you being at Beacon wouldn't change anything but you, alone, have given me hope for a better tomorrow." Jaune was shocked to hear that from the Great and Powerful Oz, "You were a promising student. Despite your lack of combat training, you were quick to adapt even if it was too late, there was something special about you." In the eyes of the old wizard, he sees a splitting image of Jaune and Jeanne, both full of hope, "I wished for you to come back to Beacon... but seeing how much you've made your life here in this city. I'm afraid this is impossible now,"
