Airship flying in the direction of Beacon Academy.

Airship flying in the direction of Beacon Academy.

Mei POV.

The inside of the airship was spacious. It was composed of three rooms. A cargo bay, a cockpit and a big cabin. Inside said cabin, there is a large number of kids. From my perspective at the entrance of the cargo bay, I could see some that stand out more than the others.

In a corner was a boy and a girl with black hair and red eyes.

A blue eyes blond boy is flirting with some of the girls.

Sit on one of the benches, a red and black hair girl was talking to a white with blonde strand hair girl.

Next to one of the windows, a small girl with twin drill-style hair was looking out.

Finally, an ocean blue haired girl was encircled by a large number of students.

As we were approaching the school, a video of a woman suddenly appeared on the multiple screens in the room.

— Hello, and welcome to Beacon. My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged 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 Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world.

As those words were said, the side of the ship opened and revealed windows. From them we could see the whole of the city.

During the long seven-hour flight, the atmosphere of the room didn't change much. Except when the blond boy tried to flirt with the black hair girl only to get kicked in the face. Surprisingly, after that, he didn't flirt for the rest of the flight.

As we disembark the ship, we take our luggage and we are told to explore the school and to be all in the amphitheater for 9pm. With that, I started exploring the school.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I should have known that exploring the academy by myself was a bad Idea. Currently, I am in an elevator going somewhere. But I know that I am going up at least.

Following a good two or three minutes of going up, the elevator door opens and I find myself in the office of someone. Seated at the desk in the center of the room, a man was watching me. He has black hair with some of the roots, were slowly turning white, with brown eyes and cloak in a black suit over a dark green buttoned vest, shirt and pants. Finally he has a mug on his desk and a cane at his side.

Behind him was a window with half of a giant clock.

Seeing me, he smiled and pointed to the chair that was placed before the desk. Then he started talking.

— Well, what owes me your visit to my office miss Raiden?

— Well hello? But who are you?

— You don't know me? Well, that's a first. So let me do the introduction then. My name is Ozpin and I am the Headmaster of Beacon Academy.

— Your the Headmaster? But isn't the Headmistress Miss Glynda?

— Yes, she is but she is also a teacher. So I am the one who does the majority of the administration. From funding to wages, maintenance and more. But let's return to the original subject. So what owns me your visit to my office?

— Well you see Headmaster I may have lost my way in the academy.

— So you were able to get lost in the school and somehow you end up in the elevator to my office?

— Yes.

— Well, since I need to go to the amphitheater for the introduction speech, why don't you follow me there?

— Sure.

— Let go then.

With that said we both took the elevator to the ground floor and started walking. The sun has started setting. Casting an orange glow through the sky. As we walked, the headmaster took the opportunity to show me the entirety of the academy, from the different classrooms, to the lunchroom, to the staff break room and finally the different forms and other rooms.

We then finished the tour at the amphitheater, where we separated. Ozpin continues to walk in the direction of the back of the building wild I go in by the main entrance.

Once inside, I could clearly see the stage where a mic was posted and the multiple groups of students at his base.

Being the last to arrive, they were no seats free. So I leaned against the back wall of the room and waited for the headmaster to start his speech.

After a minute or so, Ozpin presented himself on the stage.

— 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.

He then exits the stage and Glynda takes his place.

— You will spend the night in the ballroom. Also I will ask you all to put your weapons in the locker room for tomorrow's initiation. Once you exit the room, a table with paper pieces with a number and a password for your locker. With that said you are all dismissed.

Following that, she also exited the stage I then waited for all the new students to exit so I could follow them to the ballroom and the locker room.

After putting my swords in the locker and changing into my pyjamas, I enter the ballroom. I then found a spot in the corner and put my sleeping bag there.

Before I went to sleep, I took the notebook that held the information on the Grimm and started looking through it. I then remarked that there is no page on the alpha Beowulf that I beat. As I was starting to write a page for it, someone interrupted me.

— Hello is the place next to you free?
