Akane along with the rest of the students began to leave the bullhead as it docked at Beacon. 

Until then, Akane concealed her presence so, no one sensed her. But when the bullhead landed, she exposed her presence, not to mention the big weapon box is eye-catching. This made few people alert, especially Blake as she realised who it is and what scared her more is she didn't sense her presence until now.

Ruby however has a different expression. Initially, she was scared but now that she thought about it, her weapon is ingrained in her mind. She wanted to ask her about it so, completely forgetting about the incident, she rushed at the tall student with her eyes on the weapon case.

"Wait!!!"

Akane turned to the call of little red riding hood.

"Yes?"

"Can I please look at your weapon? It's so cool!! What did you name it? My weapon is called Cresent rose, it's a scythe along with a highly compact sniper. I was amazed by your weapon that day!! It is so beautiful to look at and also it's so big, how do you fight with it. I always have a feeling I saw it somewhere but I can't remember it. Can you show it to me, please please please"

There is a silence in the air as Ruby realised she just kept babbling. With a blush, she kept her head down.

Yang noticed the trembling hand of Blake but didn't think much of it.

"Sorry" Ruby squeaked lightly.

To her relief, Akane didn't think much of it and patted Ruby, she found ruby like a cute little enthusiastic hamster, Ruby got mesmerised by the smile and beauty of Akane.

"It's fine, kiddo. I will let you look at it but not now. Anyway, I gotta go"

Before Akane disappeared from her line of sight, Ruby shouted "Thank you!! I'm Ruby by the way!"

Akane slightly turned and gave a nod acknowledging it.

"It looks like you got a friend, Ruby. A hot one too" Yang commented seeing the sexy back of Akane.

"Hey, she didn't say she will be my friend" Ruby shyly replied.

"Friends don't announce themselves as such....Kiddo" Yang teased with a wink.

"Hey!!"

***

In the announcement hall, Akane leaned against the wall closing her eyes with her weapon case beside her when another red hair approached her.

"Hey, Pyrrha" Akane spoke without opening her eyes.

"Why am I not surprised you would sense me even with your eyes closed " Pyrrha replied in a disappointed and slightly annoyed tone.

"Aw~, don't feel bad now dear~, here, let your girlfriend give you a hug"

Without even a chance to escape, Pyrhha got smothered into Akane's Bosom, the fact that Akane is only slightly taller than her made her face perfectly fit into her breasts when all Akane did is hug her normally.

"Hey! Leave me! It is embarrassing!" Pyrrha protested to which Akane complied.

"Hai~Hai~ My Greek warrior~"

Pyrrha looked around seeing some eyes on them. No doubt they recognised her but then she noticed most of the people's eyes are on Akane immediately after they recognised her, which didn't surprise her knowing her friend's charisma. She didn't like to admit it, but sometimes she liked how Akane attracted all the attention away from her.

"Anyway, I'm glad to see you here. Honestly, I was scared that I would never see you again after your fame rose" Pyrrha began to chat with her old friend.

"You mean those Grimm-slayer titles and all? I think I know the answer but how do you know it is me?"

"I can't think of anyone more capable than you, not to mention, people are selling the merchandise of toy Alectrona everywhere along with a red hair warrior toy figure with Grimm-slayer title on it. You may hack into their scrolls to remove your videos, but you can't hack into their minds" Pyrrha replied smugly.

'If only you know, Pyrrha but...' Akane replied " I didn't know there are action figures on me, that also explains some stares I got before boarding the bullhead. Guess, spending too much time with nature makes you ignorant of civilisation"

"Again with that old lady talk, anyway, It seems the principal is going to give commencement speech soon"

As Pyrrha finished, Ozpin gave his unique speech to the students. Many students didn't get why he is so serious all of a sudden in the middle of the speech.

"I'll...keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge--to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step"

While Akane thought ' He got clever wording. He is saying the school or any of the staff are not responsible for the students' future, everyone here is responsible for themselves whether they succeeded or died trying.  He is a lot wiser than someone of his age... in fact too wise'

"I wonder what's that about" Pyrrha thought out loud

"Don't worry about it, it doesn't concern us" Akane dismissed Ozpin's speech as she knows Pyrrha is strong enough to survive this world.

"You understood his speech? Not surprising now that I think about it. He felt like you"

Pyrrha replied and listened to Glynda saying something while Akane

'I feel like him? Now it is easy to figure it out. He is probably immortal but in a different way, since I saw his records of Ozpin's younger self, he is most probably reincarnating again and again. That also explains the history around the structures of four academies on four different continents of this world which 'coincidentally' matches with four number of maidens. So, Ozpin was king of vale in past who brought peace with his incredible power that must have been magic. Interesting...but why castles? Castles are there to protect someone mostly royalty, here it must be Maidens but  Maidens can protect themselves. Not to mention, the constant huntsman in training surrounding this castle all the time. What is being protected? I guess the plot is getting thicker'

Akane P.O.V

I went outside the castle to scan the layout that night. Tomorrow is the initiation. So, I still have time. Let's see if I can find something.

... Great, there must be a dungeon below then. Even after I searched all this time if I can't find it means, I have to hack into the building's tech but...it will ruin the fun since it will be too easy. Let's search another time.

I sensed an aura with the speed of a  bullet approaching me and stopping right in front of me.

"Hey, You promised you will show me your weapon"

I saw Ruby Rose, the 'protagonist' of this world but seeing the four members and the ruby name matching with the colour themes of four girls, except for u. There are four of them. Wait.. Don't tell me these will be the four maidens in the future. Even if it is, I essentially 'killed' a maiden when I absorbed the magic from the raven. So, there's that.

"I did say I will show you. Follow me to the locker room. By the way, my name's Akane"

"That's a unique name, does that mean Red?"

"Your guess is correct, 'Aka' means red in ancient mistral language"

"Oh~"

I showed Ruby my Alectrona, she's surprisingly a genius when it comes to weapon science.

The next day is the beginning of initiation, I get to meet some new characters. One over-energetic girl, a silent boy, a bully racist, this school offers diverse characters.

Opening my weapon box, I took my Alectrona out. I can hear surprising gasps. Jaune arc is the first to ask the most common question I get.

"Can you really fight with such a big weapon?" 

Before I can answer, Pyrrha replied "she's the strongest student here Jaune believe me. Her skill is impeccable with her spear, we can't even lift it, I remember nearly breaking my back when I tried to lift it once"

"Wait, you know her? and I don't believe that Faunus is stronger than you, the four times tournament champion" the Schnee asked in surprise.

"Yes, we both studied in Sanctum but Weiss, the only reason I became 4 times winner is Akane didn't participate in it. If she did, everyone including me will lose Also, don't be a racist b*tch to my friend"

She's quite good at bragging about me but that last part caught me off guard. Pyrrha never uses swear words. I can see the surprise look on Weiss along with others but more so on Weiss. Weiss is a spoilt brat, for now, growing up as rich as her means mostly ending up as an annoying b*tch but I guess she will go under character development, that is if I didn't kill her in the near future.

The silence is getting awkward "All the best for the initiation Ruby, Pyrrha and Jaune.  I will meet you there"

With that, I left. I don't know anyone else there. I could sense fate strings unbound each other, I guess the main events are really unfolding before my eyes.
