Y/N POV
I entered the tavern and sat at the bar
Nora: may I take your....well I'll be damned, hey Y/N
Me: hey Nora, how's business
Nora: well it's that time of year, all the freaks from the other kingdoms come over to see girls dancing and to get drunk
Me: let me guess, Pyrrha?
Nora: we also hired a blonde named Yang, she has that fiery personality that most the boys like, though Pyrrha has something special with her.
Me: they really should stop dancing for these people
Nora: the money is enough to for them to keep living, but I agree, they deserve more
Ren: hey Y/N, how have you been
Me: well I've been better, my mother is making me get a job with Jacques, since the knights are paid well she wants me to do it to help the family.
Ren: I'm surprised you listened to your mother with that one, you hate Jacques
Me: and the brats, where is Pyrrha and Jaune
Nora: Jaune fell from his roof, hurt himself and had to get fixed up, won't be back until either tomorrow or the day after and Pyrrha is well....getting ready
Me: oh jeez
Announcer: and the moment you've all been waiting for, I present to you, Pyrrha Nikos
Me: oh no
The curtains opened, revealing a well.....revealing Pyrrha

These people are a bunch of freaks, most of them probably married

They both were dancing up there, shaking everything, and the dogs at the front, my god, they're worse than my brother.
????: hello are you Y/N?
I turned around to see a courier.
Me: depends on what the message is
Courier: you are the only one to become a knight
Me: what!? How the hell is that even possible
Courier: I don't know, I just go out and give things to woah mama! Those girls are hot
Me: hey Courier
I grabbed the back of his neck
Me: leave or I will stick one of those gems in your eyes
He started sweating and shook his head yes, he then ran out of the tavern as soon as I let him go.
Nora: well congratulations Y/N, what are you going to do? Castle watch, go out and protect the dust mines?
Me: I know only as much as you....well I'll get going, might as well see my new boss
I got up and before I left I dropped a few coins in front of Nora.
Me: that's all I have, use it wisely
Nora: thanks Y/N!
Me: I'll see you later
?????: Y/N??
I knew that voice anywhere, I looked to the stage and Pyrrha ran off it and hugged me, Yang continued to dance, it's like the guys barely noticed Pyrrha was gone. I hugged her back, trying to keep my hands above her stomach.
Pyrrha: .....I'm sorry
Me: relax Pyrrha
Pyrrha: sorry....it's just seeing a childhood friend, and then having them see me like this
Me: stay strong, I don't like seeing you in that either, but once I get enough money, I plan to help you, the rest of JNPR and every worker here
Pyrrha: Y/N....thank you
Me: take it easy, I'll see you around
She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.
TimeSkip to the Castle
I went into the castle, Jacques was sitting in his throne, next to Weiss and Whitley.
Jacques: it seems the courier found you
Me: yeah I had to meet up with old friends in the tavern
Jacques: you have friends in a tavern?
Me: we all have friends some where
He scoffed then looked at me again. You are to be a knight, you will be anointed now.
Me: alright
A group of men came from the side doors and surrounded me, an elder woman walked up to me with a sword and started tapping my shoulders with it
Woman: to protect.....to serve.....to live, we welcome you, Sir L/N
They all just quickly disappeared into darkness
Me: uh....what the hell?
Jacques: your first job is to keep an eye on the castle, make sure no Faunus are on the grounds, those thieving bastards have been with us for too long
Me: sure
Whitley and him scoffed before walking away, only one there was Weiss.
Me: aren't you going to scoff and walk away?
Weiss: no, in fact you interest me
Me: I don't see how, I'm just some poor guy trying to care for my family
Weiss: well then, may I ask why the courier said you threatened him?
Me: because I did, he was looking at my friend the wrong way at the wrong time....but I didn't threaten him, it's a promise I made to him.
Weiss: why do you put on this tough guy act
Me: I've been through enough shit to know what it takes to get through life in this world...
Weiss: language
Me: and we are done here
I started walking through the halls, looking for the so called "thieving Faunus"
