RWBY 3.0: Reality

Chapter 2

Chapter II - New Beacon academy, Main hall -

Izetta rushed through the crowd of students that was gathering around the notification board to check for the schedule of today's team competition event. Her eyes darted between the information on the board then among the students surrounding her, as if she was searching for someone. Her expression filled with a hint of worry and anxiousness.

"ooohh, where are they ?!!"

"Oii, Izetta , over here !!"

Her attention was drawn to the voice that was calling to her. In its direction, was a pair of a boy and a girl, both clad in their respective Beacon uniform, walking toward her. She soon recognized that the voice had come from the boy, if not by the distinctive pitch of the voice itself, then by the fact he was enthusiastically waving his hand at her. The boy had chestnut-colour hair that was slightly disheveled, his eyes a darker shade of the same colour. The most telling attribute of his personality however was probably the large smile that he had across his face, full of vigor and confidence. She hardly know anyone else that had that bright of a smile as he did, with only one exception – a crazy orange-hair aunty that was living in Kuroyuri (her mind shivers everytime she thinks about her interaction with that woman).Quite opposite to the boy then was the girl, who had an air of calmness and class around her. She was tall, a bit more than a boy. She had dark black hair that was cut very short, in fact, if one had look at her from behind, one could have easily mistaken her for a guy. However to counter that, she facial features oozes feminine beauty, from her long eye lashes, glimmering magenta eyes, to her proportionate face and tender-looking lips. If anything, it was the fact that she had both manly and feminine beauty traits that she captured the attention from both sides of student body, an ability that Izetta herself sometime could not battle against and was quite envious of. Within a short period, the pair caught up to Izetta.

"Len ! Nina ! There you guys are ! Where were you ?!"

"Hehe sorry red, we got stuck on the monorail. Its because of today's event ya know ? The whole city was bustling, students and parents and all that, and the traffic in general was just a real bitc....."

The boy's sentence was cut short by a hard punch to the back of the head by the brunette beside him.

"Len, language"

"Huhu...sorry ma'am" said the boy has he held up a hand to rub on the little swelling that had come off from the punch's point of impact on his head. Then he suddenly turn to Izetta, his hand now grasping her as tears and snots start leaking from his face.

" WAHHH....Izetta ! Nina is bullying me again..."

Izetta couldn't help but just awkwardly laugh at the crying man-child and the situation in front of, as a sweat rolled down along forehead. She had gotten quite use to the crazy antics of Len already through her time here in Beacon, yet somehow, she could never be totally prepared for it. Her gaze then dash towards Nina for assistance, who just shot Len an slightly annoyed look as she dragged the boy back to her side. She then turned back to Izetta, her expression now warm and endearing.

"We're sorry for being late, and how are you doing today Izetta?"

"Oh you know, a bit nervous and all that but other than that I'm pretty excited, I just hope I don't mess up to badly and drag you guys down and all"

"You'll be find Izetta, we haven been together for more than a year now, and you have proven yourself capable in both combat and leadership. If you need assistance in anything just come to me and Len, we'll support you."

"Nina..."

Izetta's eyes widen with happiness at the touching remarks of her teammate, her hands clasped together as she mentally thanked the heavens above her for having given her such wonderful friend
