Ep. 9 - Team RWBY, and the T?, Talk

The gang and I returned to Beacon on foot, just for the sake of it. We were told to wait in the auditorium as the Nevermore attacked some other group of students. Nothing serious. They were saved by Glynda. They were slowed down though, so it will take a bit for them to arrive. I looked around and had to hide a smile on my face: I couldn't see Cardin or anyone that looked like him. 'I hope the Nevermore got him. Nothing serious happened so maybe some light injuries?' I thought to myself.

Well, we waited for almost an hour. Luckily we arrived quite early, at least compared to canon. As I expected, the group that arrived last was Cardin's.

'Look at that! His knee is fucked up! If this is the definition of light injuries, I wonder what they define as serious injuries? Entire limbs torn off?'

Well, apparently they were attacked again after their first encounter with the Nevermore and Cardin got injured. He was forced to leave Beacon due to his knee being too mangled up. 'I kinda feel sorry for him. Well, maybe he got lucky. I was planning on shooting both his knees when no one was around. Yup, lucky motherfucker.'

Anyway. After the whole Cardin situation was taken care of, Ozpin started the real deal. I didn't care about the other teams. Only team RWBY and JNPR were actually important. After all, we did fight the Death Stalker together and had good coordination. 'Maybe I should introduce the concept of fireteam to them. No, it's redundant with their Teams. Though I will force them to have fighting drills together.'

Time passed as the teams were formed. When team JNPR was announced, I clapped my hands. 'Jaune is kind of awkward, but he just needs a push. He's a good guy so I will help him. Pyrrha, I got you. Best wingman right here.'

Then, the most important part: the last five students. 'Did I forget to mention that team CRDL still got created? Plot reasons.'

Ozpin had a strange glint in his eyes while calling Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang. They looked at me with a hint of worry and confusion. 'How cute. I better give them some presents in the future. Armor first. Weapons are useless if you are dead, after all.' After the four got on stage, team RWBY was formed, then Ozpin looked at me.

"And now, Mr. Tula. I am pretty sure you can already be compared to an experienced, licensed hunter. But you don't have a relic-"

I interrupted him at that point. Didn't want to be thrown out of Beacon before it even starts.

"If you want a relic here, take this." I said, throwing a Knight piece I secretly made beforehand. 'Oh, that look. I bet he's thinking 'How the fuck did he do that?' Heh, you will never know.'

"You will join Team RWBY. Though with your initial I wouldn't know what to call it..." he said plainly. "Let's just call it RWBY, your initial won't be included. (Sucks to be you.)"

A loud, as in LOUD, "YES!" resounded in the auditorium. Turning to look at the source, I saw Ruby, Weiss, and Yang jump up and down, while Blake looked happy but contained her enthusiasm. 'Oh, so happy to have me? So cute.'

"With that out of the way, you will be shown to the dormitories. Your classes start tomorrow."

Later that evening, Team RWBY and I were quickly organizing the room before hitting the sack. 'I thought the same thing yesterday, but it still baffles me how the dormitories are mixed. I'm not complaining but… aren't they worried? Theoretically I am a teenager...' I thought. 'Love at first sight bullshit? Oh God, please no.'

While I was thinking about some stupid stuff, the four decided that I would be a hug pillow, with a rotation system.

'How the fuck did it come to this. More like why would Blake ever agree. Weiss already did it yesterday, so maybe she got over her embarrassment. Yang probably doesn't care. Ruby is… Ruby, so yeah. Fucking anime logic. At least Destiny was normal. More violent but normal. Oh! Wait! I had that perk. What was it? Ah! Lucky Bastard! Please tell me that Xad'el didn't fuck with that...'

Either way, I was assigned to sleep next to Yang first, as she was the first person to meet with me.

The next day, the gang woke up in time and decided to unpack before the classes then decorate after, courtesy of yours truly. This way, we all arrived in class on time after having a quick breakfast. The classes were kind of boring, but it's the first day, so I will not give a premature opinion. The most interesting part was Port's class, more precisely the demonstration.

He went close to the Boarbatusk's cage, and started his spiel about this and that. When he asked if there were any volunteers, I had the impulse to show off. 'These days it just comes natural. Am I being hit by the curse that affects some harem protagonists? I don't mind a harem, that's for sure.'

I secretly took my HC ball and changed it to a 'Last Word'. Why? Because I wanted to. I stood up from my seat and went ham on the thing, hitting the Grimm six times. I then reloaded just for style points and sat back down. Port had the most amazing face. Ruby was cheering along with Yang, while Weiss was… smiling. 'That smile must be against the law. Too precious.' Now that I think about it, it was more of a smirk, but I don't care.

With Port's dismayed expression, the lesson ended and the students were dismissed. His ego must have taken a massive hit.

So, apparently, the girls did not forget about what I did during the Initiation. In fact, I am currently facing some pretty angry/serious faces.

"You know… We didn't forget. You said you would explain everything after the initiation. You got spared yesterday but today you are going to answer our questions." stated Weiss.

"Very well, I did say that so fire your questions. Let me answer you first, Weiss." I said, seeing no way out of this situation. 'There is also no actual need for me to hide my tech. I might hide the fact that I am an Exo from another universe though.'

"First, you said 'spaceship'. You mean you can travel in space? Also, the interior was enormous yet when we landed, it looked much smaller. How do you explain that? Where did you get the tech from? Finally, what was that floating ball of metal?" she asked.

"I will answer in order. Yes, I can travel in space if I wanted to. The interior was enlarged with magic, though you can consider it very advanced technology. As for where it came from… It comes from my little head. Finally, that 'floating ball of metal' can answer that question." I said, opening my left hand. MoonRay materialized and she was not amused.

"What do you mean 'floating ball of metal'?! I am a super advanced mechanical being! I am this idiot's companion!" she said, turning towards me at the end. 'She called me an idiot… Aren't Ghosts supposed to be respectful towards Guardians?!'

"What do you mean companion?" Weiss asked. 'Damn, she's curious.'

"I help him out when he needs it. This guy wouldn't even be alive without me." MoonRay said proudly. 'Can Ghosts even be proud. Also, what she said IS technically the truth.'

Having her questions answered, Weiss fell into contemplation.

She asked the same questions Yang and Blake had, since they didn't ask anything else. Ruby though had a lot of questions.

"Yesterday you said you built it in a couple of days. How did you do it?! And, if you invented that thing, then you have other interesting things, right?! Did you build your weapons as well?!" she said super excitedly.

"Calm down. It's my semblance. I can create materials and things as long as I know how to make them. I got a lot of interesting things, but it wouldn't be fun if I just told you what they are. As for my weapons… Yes, I guess you could say I built them myself." I said. "Any more questions?"

"Nope, though I am curious about what gimmicks you have." said Yang.

"No." said Blake while shaking her head. Ruby was still super hyped, but didn't ask more questions.

"Who are you?" asked Weiss suddenly. 'Ah, the important question.'

"Tula, your teammate." I said calmly while looking her in the eyes. 'They really are beautiful.'
