Chapter 5: The First Step, part 2

(Narrator's POV)

"I'm warning you right now: no way am I teaming up with you." Resare growls at Night, her weapons pointed at him.

"Sorry, but those are the rules: The first student you find becomes your teammate for the next four years." He replied coldly, his shotgun pointed at her.

"Well, do you know where you can stick your rules?" She growls.

"I know, but I won't." Night answered her. Resare sighed heavily.

"Out of my sight, or-"

"Or else what? You'll punch me?" Night interrupts her, raising his voice, "That's not your call! You agreed to come here, so now just play by the rules, damn it!" He yells.

"Listen to me, human scum: You-" Resare begins before being challenged by a strange noise, coming from the bushes. Night in turn looks at the bushes, which were moving, despite the lack of wind. The two students exchange a look before slowly approaching the bushes. Suddenly, an Ursa rushes towards the two students. Night and Resare fire two shots at the Grimm before dodging a claw. The young faunus rushes towards the monster and jumps at its neck before being sent into a tree by a paw strike. She gets up and prepares to face it before seeing a blade pierce its throat, killing the monster, which collapses to the ground, revealing its killer: Night. The Grimm's body goes up in

"I didn't need help" she growls at Night.

"I'm here, I might as well be good for something." He replied, putting his gun on his shoulder before seeing 10 Beowolfs charging in their direction. "And maybe you should stop getting upset, it attracts the Grimms." Advises Night as she gets into a fighting stance.

"Keep your advice and fight." Resare growls as she stands up and gets into a fighting stance in turn, the Grimms coming closer and closer towards the two young students, preparing for this new fight.

(At the same time, Dragon's POV)

I had landed for five minutes and was walking around without knowing where I was going. I was completely lost, you could say that. I heard a growl, close to me. I turned around and saw a Beowolf coming at me. I drew one of my weapons and hit him in the jaw, sending him to the ground. I moved towards him, put my left foot on his neck and emptied my magazine on him. A few moments later, the corpse goes up in smoke. I reload my weapon before leaving. I look to my right and come across a student who also seemed lost.

"But... That's the girl who was talking with Night yesterday..." I muttered to myself. I approach her slowly and gently tap her on the shoulder. "Hi!" I exclaimed. A second later, I found myself with a sword under my throat. I raise my arms in the air.

But? You're Night's friend? No ?" She asks me, unsure.

"Yeah, that's me." I replied, big drops of sweat running down my forehead. "But... Could you take your sword off my throat?" I asked her.

"I'm sorry." She said to me, lowering her weapon and taking two steps back.

"Are you lost?" I ask her. She affirms with a shake of her head. I sigh.

"Welcome to the club." I said.

(15 minutes later)

We had been walking in circles in the forest for 15 minutes, knocking out the few Grimm we came across. Not a single student. Only trees and, eventually, a few Grimms.

"Tell me you know roughly where we are..." I asked her, jaded.

"Yes." She replied.

"Where ?" I asked her, full of hope.

"In a forest." She replied. I "facepalmed" my face.

"We've been in this forest for 20 minutes, please be specific..." I asked her as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"To put it simply: I don't know. Sorry." She answered me.

"Great..." I replied, dropping my arm. "Here I am lost with a student whose only thing I know about her is that she has an "I love faunus" T-shirt. Great." I growled.

"And I don't care if you don't like them." She says to me.

"I am one of them, so I don't care." I replied. "Look at my eyes." I advised her. A few seconds later, I find myself with this girl glued to me with stars in her eyes and drool in the corner of her mouth.

"Lynx eyes ... Awesome..." She murmurs, cheerfully.

"Yeah, but can you leave my eyes alone?" I asked her.

"Sorry." She replied, taking five steps back. I sigh before starting to walk again.

"Since I'm going to be your teammate for four years, it would be nice to get to know you better." I tell her before the girl hops in front of me.

"In that case, let's make the introductions: My name is Krystal. Krystal Shin." She introduces herself, with a big smile on her face. "And you?" She asks, bowing to me.

Dragon. Dragon Setsu." I introduced myself. She began to see stars in her eyes again.

"A faunus told me his name... This is the best day ever..." She whispers with unconcealed joy. I walk towards her.

"We'll get to know each other better later. But for now, let's find the damn temple." I said with a jaded look as I grabbed her by the collar and dragged her with me.

"Flap-joy" she sighs, jaded.

(Night's POV)

"BUT DAMN WE REALLY LANDED IN A SHITTY SPOOOOOOOOOOOT!" Resare yells. That's about the sixtieth Grimm we've killed in 20 minutes, no exaggeration.

"Maybe if you stopped getting upset, it wouldn't attract them." I replied, jaded.

"Keep your advice, asshole!" Resare yells at me, middle finger up.

"Apply them instead, Rabid Dog!" I growled as I put my sword on my shoulder. "What attracts Grimms is anger, sadness and any other negative feeling! Relax your nerves and you'll see less of them." I growled.

"Hey, I'm a faunus, not a rabid dog, you bastard!" She takes offense. Another Beowolf tries to run at her, except Resare turns around and slams it with a dusty punch, killing it straight away.

"See ?" I asked her. Resare growls.

"Go ahead and shut the fuck up!" She orders me, pointing me in the direction I need to go. I sigh. I decide to comply with her order.

"Are you afraid I'll stare at your ass ?" I asked her as I walked past her.

"I'm really going to end up killing you, you human scum." She growls at me before following me. Direction: The temple.
