Remnant is... interesting to say the least. Over the past few days we explored the city of Vale and the halls of Beacon to fully get used to it's layout. Right now Ruby is helping me sort out the mess that is my uniform. "You managed just fine with Kuoh's uniform, what is so different about this" She says whilst helping me with the tie. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe the death trap your tying around my neck." I say with a grumble and she laughs. "Come on, it's not that tight is it." She rebuttals as she finishes up. "Great, now your ready" She says and I look in the mirror to see the uniform.

I straighten out the front a bit and sigh. "I guess it looks alright" I say and Ruby latches onto my arm. She drags em out our room and into the Grey Area where the others are waiting. There I see Axel wearing the same outfit as me while Aqua wears the Female outfit. Xion comes down the hall and to my surprise is wearing the male uniform. Weiss notices this first and marches to her. "Xion, why are you wearing the boys uniform." She asks and Xion looks at her. "Never been a fan of skirts so I asked if I could wear the boys uniform"

Ruby then blows a whistle which makes us all recoil in slight shock and pain. "Alright, now let's go" She says and leads us through the Castle to the exit. We all go to exit but Yang holds me back. "You lot go ahead, I need to talk with Roxas for a moment." She says and I notice her smile. I look at Axel with a face of 'HELP ME I'M GONNA DIE!' But he smirks and shuts the door leaving me with the overprotective blonde. I turn to face her and narrowly avoid a fist to the face. Looking at her eyes I see them glowing a blazing red. "Listen here, you hurt Ruby and I will make sure that won't walk near her again with out having severe mental trauma." She says with venom as my eyes harden. "If you think I would hurt her your dead wrong. I've done nothing to deserve her yet she came to me. I would never break her heart" I say with a tone of authority.

After 5 seconds of glaring from both of us her eyes soften and go back to their normal lilac colour. She sighs and withdraws her fist from the wall. "Look, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot. It's just that she is too trusting of those she meets and all I want to do is protect her." She says and I put a hand on her shoulder. "I don't blame you for being cautious around me. Until a few days ago I was nothing but a stranger to you or the others so I understand." I say and open the door. "You don't have to worry, I'll protect her with all my hear. Now come on, we're almost late" I say and we run to catch up with the others.

Timeskip

I wish I never arrived to this damned class. This 'Teacher' is really only telling stories which no one gives a crap about. Axel is asleep, Xion is looking around in boredom and Aqua is... noting things down. "Aqua, what you writing?" I asks and she looks at me. "While his stories are a bit exaggerated, there is a deeper meaning behind it. I'm just noting down anything that might show it. I guess my training with Master Eraques made me more attuned to hidden meaning behind a story." She says and I nod in agreement. While his story in general was boring I did pick up on something interesting. Everything the idiot said was almost like a warning. But for what?
