The sun shined on the enormous tower of Beacon Academy. A school created to train the future protectors of not only the country, but of the whole world from the beastly creatures of Grimm. And one student was ready to take this challenge. Or so he thinks...

Murasaki: Man, I never knew Beacon would be so big...If only they had a directory...or at least given us a map on our scrolls.

Kokoro Murasaki was a student from Haven Academy who recently gained interest to expand his skill and knowledge by enrolling into Beacon. That is, if he can find where the Headmaster's Quarters are...

Murasaki: Oh man, the sun is just getting hotter every moment...where is the main building? Never knew this school was built like a maze...Maybe I can get some help or something...if anyone else was here. I bet they're all in their air conditioned rooms, or swimming in the possible pool they have in the gym...Grr...

Clipse: Do you usually talk to yourself? Such a strange thing to do...

Clipse Harrow, a student who enrolled a month before, stood behind Murasaki. Despite her being still quite new to the school, she already knew the layout of the area like the back of her hand.

Clipse: You're one of the newbies, right?

Murasaki turned around to see a slightly shorter girl behind her. Surprised by seeing her, he decided to speak to her.

Murasaki: Well hey there shorty, where did you come from? Are you a ninja or is your semblance invisibility? Because I saw literally no one else on campus.

Clipse, unimpressed by the "shorty" comment, huffed.

Clipse: Do you need help, or not?

Murasaki: Ok, I'm sorry. I was only kidding around. I was actually looking for the Headmaster's Office. I kinda was interested in enrolling here. Are you a new student also here at Beacon? No offense, but you look quite young to be here..

Clipse: Come on, I'll take you there.

Clipse walks past Murasaki, her stride confident.

Clipse: And yes, I am new. I enrolled a month ago, the reason...none of your business. However, I'm curious on why you want to enroll.

Murasaki: Well to be honest, despite my, impressive look, I'm actually a farmer from Atlas. Yes, that Atlas, home of the cities, technology, and the Schnee Dust Company. Despite my, living conditions, I was surprised I was able to get into Haven Academy for a bit. Who knew a farmboy from Atlas would get into Haven. Unfortunately, despite my high grades and fighting prowess, they were still charging me so much, that it took a toll on my family's farm. So I decided to go farther from my home, and enroll into Beacon.

Clipse: I see. I'm sorry you went through such hardships to get to where you are today. I can sympathize with that; however, don't think this is going to be a walk in a park of a school. They're going to train us, hard. Are you prepared for that?

Murasaki: Well I've worked on the farm for awhile and Haven was still quite a challenge. I feel pretty prepared for anything that will come up.

Clipse: What about Grimm. Ever had to fight one before?

Murasaki: Luckily not; Atlas was quite safe with its military presence there and I never got to that part with my small amount of time I was there at Haven. But I'm prepared for anything; never underestimate the farm boy from Atlas.

Murasaki posed heroically with his pitchfork in hand. With Clipse simply looking awestruck from his slight stupidity...or fifty percent stupidity...
