(1 month later, Night's POV)

Time has passed very slowly since the night of the fight. But, the time had finally come. I was on the ship that would take me to Beacon. Around me, the other students seemed quite excited about becoming Hunters, while others were very quiet and chatting with other students. I, on the other hand, was sitting on one of the long benches of the ship, waiting for us to arrive at our destination. I was holding an old photo of me and my sister as children.

In this picture, I was 8 years old, and my sister was 6. I was looking at this picture remembering the good times I spent with her.

"The robbery was led by the nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evades autorities" The journalist said on TV. I put the picture in the inside pocket of my jacket and stand up to look at the hologram more closely. "If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Departement. Back to you, Lisa." Continues the journalist.

"Thank you Cyril." thank the journalist "In other news, this Saturday's, Faunus Civils Right's protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The one peaceful organization has now disrupted..."The TV turned off, giving way to a hologram of Professor Goodwitch.

"Hello and welcome to Beacon. My names is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privilegied few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmens and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it's our turn to provie you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." Declares the hologram before disappearing. Everybody goes back to their occupations, and I go back to my seat.

"Look!" A student exclaims, pointing to a window. Everyone heads to the windows and admires an incredible view of Vale.

"Look, over there, it's Beacon!" exclaims a student to her friend. Caught up in curiosity, I get up and walk over to one of the windows and look in the direction of the students. Atop a cliff was a gigantic building with a central tower.

"Is this Beacon?" I muttered to myself, at the beauty of the landscape. "Damn, it's beautiful," I whispered again.

"Impressive, right?" A voice behind me calls out. I turn around and see a guy with long black hair and a pink streak approaching the glass where I was.

"Yeah." I replied. The student stops right in front of the window, next to me.

"I hope you'll enjoy the place." He said to me, in a friendly tone.

"Same to you." I replied.

"What academy did you go to before?" He asks me.

"Pharos. What about you?" I asked.

"Sanctum." He answered me

"Are you from Mistral?" I asked him, curious.

"Yeah. Well, from a village in Mistral." He replied, looking at me. "You too?" He asks me

"I was born in Mistral, but I grew up in Vale." I replied in a neutral tone

"I see." He replied to me. "What's your name?" He asks me. I began to stare at him.

"Huh ?" I asked.

"What's your name?" He asks me again. I scratch the back of my head.

"Night. Night Sustrai." I answer him. He holds out his hand to me.

"Lie Ren." I shake his hand "Nice to meet you, Night." He says to me, friendly.
