You woke up the next day and stretched. You then proceeded to do your morning routine: shower, teeth, dressed. After all that, you headed downstairs for some food, being waved over by Ruby, a big grin on her face. Seeing no one else you knew, you walked over to her table and sat down. "Hey Ruby" you flashed her a small smile. "Hi (Y/N)! Yang this is (Y/N) uh...", (L/N), extending a hand out to Yang, shaking hands as you finished off Ruby's sentence, beginning to fill your plate up. "Well it's nice to meet you (Y/N) I think we'll get on rather well~" she flashed you a smirk of her own, causing your cheeks to redden slightly "h-heh, I-I'm sure we will..." you started digging into your food.
After your before action meal, you headed with the other first years to the locker room, a familiar green eyed female, re appearing. You felt your body freeze up as your breathing hitched slightly, she walked closer, and closer until she spoke "Hi, can you please move, you're standing in front of my locker". She followed up with a smile along with a small giggle. Obeying almost instantly you looked away, accessing your own, your spear in view "an air loom? Or do you like the run down look?" She asked as she pulled out her own shield and spear, bringing herself to a rather...powerful posture. "Oh um...it's, not something I like to think about" you said, grabbing it and closing your locker, memories starting to crawl into your head as you carelessly bumped her shoulder with your own.
You got to the pads and lined up with the other students, like last time Ozpin's voice droned into one ear and out the other as you traced the engraving on the spear Fraggor. Your attention was then re directed to Ruby who was poised with what could only be described as a big ass scythe. 'How does she even use that?' You thought to yourself, seeing her be launched off 'Wait, wasn't she just next to m-AAAHH!!!', you were cut short by the pad launching you off of the cliff face, looking down you saw the ground. The other students out of sight. Your fear of heights sky rocketed, experiencing you had this fear, now of all times? Less than ideal. You started panicking, over reacting. As you started you inevitable fall you shut your eyes and flailed your arms.
Ozpin POV
Cliff face
1 minute before initiation start
Honestly, I was worried about (Y/N). I had felt a large amount of fear...yet he looked like a brave individual, only time shall tell. Once the students had been launched off of the cliff Glynda and I pulled out our tablets, beginning our observations. I could see mr (L/N) falling to the ground when a black mist surrounded his body, a crater forming on closer inspection as he limped out, his aura somehow dramatically drained.
Back to your POV
As you made your way out of the crater you just made, you felt drained...literally. You looked round to collect your bearings an headed off to where you suspected the pieces would be.
After walking for what felt like about half an hour, you got to a small clearing. There was a small but noticeable shake in the bushes with what could only be described as a sadistic voice soon following "she wants you back, I shall not disappoint my Queen". This was quickly followed up by a sickening laugh as you gripped your weapon, getting into a defensive posture as you tried to locate the source.
Suddenly a man leaped out, weapons in hand to which you were just able to block, he then moved with incredible speed behind you and slashed towards you again. Only being able to block one of his weapons you received a nasty gash on your left side, yelping out in pain. As the man started circling you he went in for one more attack, a blinding green light covering your vision, blood loss seeping over your body as you went limp but not hitting the floor.
5 hours later
Medical ward of Beacon academy
Vale district
As you groggily whole up from your slumber you whined at the pain in your side, placing your hands there to feel bandages. Using your elbows to support you, you sat yourself up to see a medical ward, a hand gently going onto your bare chest, easily over powering you to lie down, an angelic voice piercing your ears with ease "hey, take it easy now. You got beat up pretty bad, stay here and I'll be back with Ozpin ok?". Looking at the source more you could make out the perfect silhouette of Pyrrha, only able to nod as a response, the women in question giving you a small smile which burrowed deep into your heart as she left. "What happened?" You asked yourself, looking up at the ceiling of the medical ward's ceiling. "Did I get beat by a Grimm? Do they really move that fast? Did I not train well enough?" You asked yourself until a male voice you recognised to be Ozpin's could be heard "no, no, and definitely no" he said as he came back, alone unfortunately. "Mr (L/N) you encountered something no first year should ever have to face. A man with sick intentions and an even sicker heart, motives that would kill a man alone and a drive that is rather...troublesome. I shan't bore you with details however I will say that your team is very worried and is hoping you a speedy recovery" as he gestured over to the side, seeing cards from Ren, Nora and Pyrrha as well as from a few other teams. "O-ok, thank you I'll see them when I get out" you responded, too many new questions racing few your mind as Ozpin made his way out, a memory flashing back into your head "Oh um s-sir". He turned round to face you "Yes, mr(Y/N)?", signalling you to ask your question, to which you did "w-what did he mean by 'she wants you back'?" You ask to which he looked towards the window "I myself am not too sure, however when your semblance is unlocked I believe we may find the answers we're looking for" he said as he made his way out, shutting the door behind him, leaving you in your own thoughts...
