"WHAT IN THE BLUE BLITHERING BLAZES DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!"

Just as Y/n was waking up in Ruby's bed he saw Yang's face towering over him with anger written all over it as well as her hair being on fire.

"Uh... What?" Y/n said in a still semi sleepy voice.

"OH, THAT'S IT" As she said that, Yang picked up Y/n out of Ruby's bed and threw him through the room and out of the door.

"AND STAY OUT" As Yang shut the door in Y/n's face she began to calm down a little but was still furious at Ruby for letting him sleep in her bed.

"What were you thinking?"

Now that everyone in team RWBY was awake after Yang's outburst Ruby saw what Yang did and got mad.

"He needed a place to sleep and the floor in here is filthy."

"We barely know him"

"He was selected to be on our team so I trust him"

"But but he.."

"Ruby made a decision and you should respect it, she is our team leader after all," Weiss said as she was, for the first time, being the logical voice of reason.

"Fine, but he's getting a new bed today or I will shove my fist so far up his a-"

"Yang!" Ruby said as she disapproved of Yang's language and went outside to try and find Y/n.

Y/n was sitting in the corridor with his head in his lap.

"Ruby I'm so sorr-"

"Don't worry, Yang's just overreacting because she's my big sister and wants to look out for me"

Ruby and Y/n headed inside as Blake, Weiss and Yang were packing their books for the day but Yang was giving him the cold shoulder.

Y/n finally had a full day of classes ahead of him.

I can't wait. School in Remnant must be so different from back home.

His first class was the study of Grimm with professor Oobleck. Surprisingly, Y/n knew the answer to every question about Grimm anatomy and hybrid Grimm. Maybe it was because he had read the world of RWBY: the official companion and had memorised every single word in it. Or maybe not. Who knows?

Y/n had even answered a question that Weiss didn't know the answer to. While Y/n thought that this would make Weiss respect him it only served to make the Ice queen give him the cold shoulder. Heh.

In the afternoon the first year students all had sparring class with Glynda Goodwitch.

"Alright, first up we have Mr Y/n vs Ms Belladonna."

Y/n was shocked as this would be his first actual sparring match. While he had done some basic training with Pyrrha alongside Jaune he knew that he was underprepared to face Blake. What he didn't know was that while Ozpin was giving Y/n his semblance and his powerful aura he had also given Y/n instinctual muscle memory. What that means is that through all the lifetimes Ozpin had spent trying to master all manner of weaponry he had become an expert in all forms of combat with every weapon imaginable. He passed this skill onto Y/n. 

"Kick his ass for me blake," Yang yelled from the stands wishing she could be down there and give Y/n a knuckle sandwich.

"Good luck," said the ferocious feline.

"Thanks and good luck to you to"

"Ready?, FIGHT!"

Y/n immediately started shooting Blake as she threw her weapon at Y/n trying to tangle him up but the move was to no avail as Y/n batted the katana away with his sword. Y/n then charged at the weaponless blake who deployed a decoy that Y/n stabbed and was confused when his blade hit nothing. Blake spent this time retrieving her weapon.

Whoah. How the hell did I do that?

Y/n had performed those moves based on pure instinct alone and had no idea how he had actually done any of it. As he was thinking Blake charged at him and he barely blocked her swipe which had almost cut him in half. Blake then tried to use an overhead strike but Y/n, somehow, parried it easily. Now it was Y/n's turn to attack as he sent a furious flurry of blows which Blake barely blocked. His instincts then told him to try new manoeuvers so he aimed his blade as if he were going for her left shoulder but then, at the last second, moved his blade so that it struck Blake's hip.

Blake used her feline abilities to quickly jump away and the projection on the wall of the sparring classroom read that Blake's aura was now low. She was shocked at the ease with which Y/n had beaten her and so she leapt back into combat making decoys which Y/n constantly cut through only to see the real Blake several metres away.

Now, this is just getting tedious.

As Blake deployed yet another decoy, Y/n quickly used time stop to find the real Blake and put the end of his sword to the back of her head. As time resumed blake felt the cold steel of the tip of Y/n's blade on the back of her head.

"Yield"

Blake thought of using even more decoys but knew that Y/n would just use time stop to find her again.

"Alright, I yield"

"The match has ended with Y/n as the victor!" As Glynda yelled this out no one in the crowd really heard her as they were all wondering how this 14-year-old kid had somehow beaten Blake so easily, mastered the blade and become a more skilled huntsman then all of them.

Yang sat there in stunned silence as she had fully expected Blake to win and Y/ to be crushed into the dirt. She still wanted to give Y/n the pounding he deserved for sleeping in Ruby's bed but Yang was... impressed at how well Y/n had performed. In fact, everyone was, including Goodwitch.

As the class was dismissed and they were given homework (yes there's still homework in Remnant, Y/n wasn't gonna get out that easily) Yang walked up to Y/n and gave him a very strong pat on the back which sent him stumbling a few metres forward.

"Not bad kid, not bad at all."

"Thanks, I guess"

"Oh but you're not in the clear yet, I still have to give you an ass whooping for sleeping in Ruby's bed. So are you up for a round 2?"

" You're on"

I'm screwed, again.
