BBPersona RWBY: Volume One

Chapter 14: The Placement Exam, The Reason to Fight - Part 2

4/16 Beacon Academy Afternoon

After school, the last test of the Placement Exam will soon begin within the school's arena. The seats above were filled with first-year students, even Teams KRST, RWBY, RJHN, TMHK, SNNL, and JNPR, who managed to grab the seats next to each other. "OMG! I can't wait to see all of the action!" Nu exclaimed happily, "Me to. I have high hope for them." Ragna said with a smirk. While the spectators awaits the examines, Team NYCA took a peek outside of the gate to see the spectators. "Holy crap... That's a lot of students up there...!" Yosuke muttered. "They must be all first years. Seeing how we're the only ones who're moving up a year and all..." Yu explained. "That being said, what should we do? Port-sensei said that one of their companions can't fight because of his... Or her weapon still in development." He mention, "So that'll leave them with three people on their side while we're still a total of four." Chie summed up as she sighed. "Even if they're 2nd Years, that pretty much doesn't sound fair, right?" She pointed out. A short silence and Yukiko thought of something. "Hm... Maybe I can sit this out?" She suggested as the rest of Team NYCA turned to her with exclamation marks on their heads. "I'm only saying, if we're here to learn about being true huntsmen and huntresses, then perhaps fighting with honor and equality can count as a grade?" She stated, "Huh... Actually, yeah... That could actually worked." Yosuke agreed after a quick pondering. "I agree with Yukiko, too." Yu followed. "Yukiko, can you tell Port-sensei about this?" He requested, "Alright. Good luck, everyone." Yukiko nodded and went to search for Professor Port. "So, shall we wear them now?" Yosuke mentioned to them, eager to do so. They changed their attire to the combat outfits that they bought recently. Chie wore a white chestwrap with a green vest over it. along with black and green gloves. Her symbol was placed on the back of her outfit, a golden fist with green background. Yosuke had a dark colored, long-sleeved, metal weaved, coat that has the resemblance to their Yasogami Uniforms over his V-neck long sleeves and still retained his head-phones. His emblem was a shuriken within a whirlwind. Yu's outfit... Well, he simply activated his wrist strap as the Dust form into a black blazer once more. But this time it had a lightning bolt symbol on his coat's backside. "Have to say, your hand-me-down is still badass, you know?" Yosuke commented. As Yu nodded, He, Yosuke, and Chie heads into the Arena.

Team NYCA, excluding Yukiko for the time being, enters the arena while their opponents waits. They composed of three Hunters, one which compose of a tall and athletic-looking Huntsmen with shaved-short black hair and slightly tanned skin wearing mostly pale-green attire, with a huge longsword sheathed on his back. The other had dark tan skin and dark, messy copper hair that has a long fringe and a cowlick, along with his eyes appearing to be pure white. And his weapon of choice are a pair of long blades attached to his arms. And the Huntress between them was a somewhat familiar student they saw earlier, only this time she wore her usual outfit that is all coco-colored attire as she held a hand bag. "I thought you guys would show up sooner." Coco said, "Huh? You're... Adel-San...? Wait, so then you guys are our opponents?!" Chie exclaimed, upon seeing the realization, "Indeed. So what happened to your last member?" Coco asked as she looked around, "We've agreed that we'd even the odds for this exam, just as long as she pass the test with us." Yu stated. Coco sighed in disappointment. "Hate to say, but we can't really start the last test like this. You know that right?" She told them as she checked her shades, "Sorta... But what about you guys? I mean your friend still working on his or her gear, right? So how could we simply pass the exam without a full team?" Chie questioned. While the teams below were sorting things out, their friends spectating were wondering what's going on. "Isn't Mrs. Amagi competing as well?" Hazama wondered, "Maybe something regarding their opponents, I believe." Shirogane deduced, "That's right." Yukiko answered, surprising her friends as she was on the bleachers as well. "Yeah, even though it might give us the advantage, that kind of fight would probably leave a bad impression of some sort. I mean, aren't we being examine in order to move up to 2nd Years?" Yosuke added, "I hoped for a honorable fight, so I was hoping you'd be okay for a 3 on 3 duel." Yu finished. Coco and her Team looked skeptical at first, but Professor Port, appearing on the bleachers. "I've heard from your companion, Narukami. Such an honorable proposition, I'll shall allow it!" Professor Port stated, agreeing to the terms, "Oh... Well, looks like your friend's gonna have a free pass, isn't she?" Coco smirked as the atmosphere surrounding her team. "Now then, lets pit our teammates against each other, see how they can fair themselves. Yatsuhashi?"
