3 years later
Inside the prestigious academy, the next generation of huntsmen and huntresses, are preparing for their initiation as first years. Especially a certain red-hooded reaper. Ruby Rose, daughter of Tai Yang and Summer Rose, aged 15 and officially the youngest huntress out of the first years.

She is seen opening her locker with a giddy smile on her face as she comes face to face with her beloved weapon, a high compact sniper rifle scythe hybrid, Crescent Rose. She grabs and strokes it with a dreamy look in her eyes.

'Finally no more talking or any social stuff.'

"Sup Rubes." A hyped up voice called out.

The red hooded reaper turns around to see a young woman with long blonde hair with a pair of lilac eyes. She wears a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. This huntress to be is Yang Xio Long, older half sister of the red reaper, daughter of Tai Yang and her mother remains a mystery (🤣😂 did you think I would tell u this.)
Aged 17.

She smiles widely at her baby sister. Ruby recognises that smile anywhere and internally panics. 'Here comes the spine breaker.' She thought horrified. Yang wrapped the reaper in welcoming bear hug, while Ruby has trouble breathing.

"Y-yang...a-air." Ruby choked

Yang, realising her plea, dropped the poor girl as she took frequent breaths of oxygen. Yang sheepishly scratches her head while giggling.

As Yang made way to apologise, a certain ginger haired girl skips after a boy in japanese themed clothing with a single strand of pink in his jet black hair. As they left, Yang notices the unusual giddy expression her sister adopts.

"You seem awfully chipper today. What's going on?" Yang asked

Ruby turns to face her still smiling. "Nah, I'm just excited for the initiation. Finally all that awkward socialising stuff is out of the way my baby will be the one doing the talking." She says while rubbing Crescent Rose dreamily.

Yang sighs and looks at her sister. "Y'know you aren't the only one taking the initiation. I mean if you want to grow up, you're gonna meet new people along the way."

Ruby groans. "Ugh you sound like dad. First of all what does meeting new people have to do with fighting and second, I don't need people to help me to grow up, I drink milk." She says smugly.

Yang arcs an eyebrow. "What about when you're forming teams?" She asks "Also I don't think that's not how milk works." This makes Ruby scratch her head sheepishly.

"Um... I'll just join your team." She says

Yang then whistles while combing her hair.

"Don't you think you should join another team." Yang said nervously

Ruby looks at her sister in shock. "Yang Xio Long are you trying to imply you don't want me on your team?" She says in shock

Yang waves her hands frantically. "What?! No! I'm just saying, being in another team will help you get out of your shell."

Ruby frowns, "What do you mean by that? Come out of my shell? That's absolutely-"

"Ridiculous!" A blonde boy in amour said as he walked past the sisters holding a map. "There's no way I kept my gear in locker 635. I would've remembered counting that high. Uuggggh why does this have to happen today." He said in despair.

"Hi Jaune." Ruby called out. Jaune turned around to see the red reaper wave at him. "Hey Ruby. You having trouble finding your gear too?"

"Nope. Did you consider checking the lockers over there." Ruby said while pointing to where a red haired spartan and a princess were.
