It was busy and loud in the locker rooms while Shirou was busy putting on his boots, others were talking about getting into teams like Ren and Nora. While Ruby for example tried to free herself from the clutches of her sister and Weiss tried to hold a conversation with Phyrra who looked a bit troubled which was unnoticed by Weiss as she was to focused to with her ramble.

While he was putting on his last boot, he heard someone walking up to him so he stood up and faced Yang and Ruby. While Yang eyed him up and down again with a grin plastered on her face, Ruby was the complete opposite to her sister, as she looked shyly at him and why was her face so red is she maybe sick?

"Heya handsome nice to see you ready for our upcoming initiation, oh and really nice combat outfit you have there~" Yang practically purred while looking at his arms with a smirk .

"O-oh h-hey Shirou i hope you slept well since it was a bit crowded yesterday at the ballroom" ruby said while poking her fingers shyly together which he found rather adorable.

He smiled at them "Well thanks Yang but i had to search for a long time to find a good set of armour and yes Ruby i slept well of course it was a bit crowded but that didn't bother me" he said while closing his locker.

"Uhh Shirou i don't see any weapon on you could it be that you are a brawler like Yang ?" the one who asked was Ruby who had a puzzled look on her face as he turned towards her.

For once he was glad that he could be open with his ability of Tracing since he could always say it is his Semblance but of course he should be wary about the usage of his weapons since using powerful Noble Phantasmn like Caladbolg or Hrunting would still be too close to magic for the people of Remnant. He doesn't want to deal with the fallout if people see that his Tracing is more than just a Semblance.

"Oh no i am no brawler though i know some martial arts i still favor swords and bows more than hand to hand combat and the reason why you can't see a weapon on me is, that my Semblance allows me to recreate any weapon i have ever seen and lets me use it as my own." he chuckled at their expressions as they just digested what he said.

"Wow handsome that sure is one hell of a killer Semblance you got there" that was Yangs reaction.

Rubys reaction on the other hand was a lot more vocal as she let out a high pitched squeal sounding like a child getting a new toy...a really cool and shiny new toy.

"Shirou please show me some weapons like swords, guns and..." she uncontrollably went on with her rant not seeming likely to stop and he had to calm down before he wouldn't see the end of the day.

"Ruby please calm down, i mean yes it is a pretty good Semblance, but it too has it flaws for one i cannot recreate guns since they are just too complicated for me" he said to her so she could at least calm down a little but she was looking at him as if he were a batch of cookies a batch of really realky tasty cookies.

"But still your Semblance is just awesome please make some swords please pleaseee" she practically pleaded while Yang had to laugh though holding her stomach from the laughter.

He himself had to chuckle at Rubys pleading. "Sure why not" was his reply. This now got her attention and she was focused on him like a guard dog.

"Trace On" after a quick mutter of his aria which he always used to turn his magic circuits on, Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in a flash of light into his hands. The sight of the two twin swords made Ruby nearly faint as she stared at the two beautiful swords.
