Chapter 249: Years and Graduation (3)

~Third POV~

Standing in the front stage of Beacon Academy was their newest Headmistress standing in front of the rows of parents present today seeing their children graduate after their 4 years of attending their Academy.

Glynda Goodwitch the new Headmistress of Beacon Academy aged finally began to speak out to everyone in attendance clearing her voice and getting everyone's attention, "Ahem! I thank you all parents for coming here today. Today is a grateful moment for our students – nay. Our new pillars for Humanity and Faunus alike. We welcome the newest Huntsman and Huntress into the world today."

Everyone nodded their heads as they hold their Scrolls in excitement seeing this moment for those that are alive seeing their kids graduating into adulthood.

Notice of Pyrrha's mom, the Rose, Belladonna, and Schnee families all came to attend to see their children finally grow up.

Next to them was Pietro along with his flesh and blood daughter Penny with the Happy Huntresses seeing the moment to support their friend Penny's boyfriend's momentum over the years.

Seeing people Glynda recognized with a smile on her face as she began to talk to everyone in a clear tone with her assistant Oscar next to her, "Thank you all for coming. After the events of Monsters vs Heroes, many lives were lost and many of the new generations showed their bravery in our darkest time. For those that have been lost in that horrible event may we have a small prayer of silence for their bravery in helping the people…"

Closing her eyes along with many people closed their eyes they took their moment of silent prayer for those lost in that time…

Silence rang through the graduation ceremony for those that were lost as a reminder of a dark time when the Kingdom of Vale got invaded being recorded into history.

After the silent prayer was done Glynda opens her eyes along with her mouth as she continues where she left off, "Thank you all for the service to your Kingdom. Ahem! Now then we shall proceed with the graduation ceremony of this year. Especially since that year of students will be finally graduating."

All of the people in the crowd nodded in understanding the top favorites to graduate along with the parents for their own kids.

Clearing his throat Oscar takes on center stage as he lets Ozpin take control breathing in and out calmly, "Whew… I'm Oscar Pines everyone and I'm the new assistant of Miss Goodwitch of Beacon Academy. With the introduction out of the way it's time we finally begin the graduation with the students who demonstrated the most bravery and heroism in our era to have ever been present."

The crowd gets excited by the news as Ozpin begins to introduce the graduating class acting like a gentleman, "Now then as the saying goes ladies go first. And these four ladies have certainly come a long way from being the Huntress-in-Training. Now to be first graduated into the elites of Hunters… please give a warm welcome to Team RWBY!!"

"Ahh!"

"It's team RWBY!"

"WOOO!!"

Everyone yelled in excitement as four girls began to walk to center stage with confidence and in their graduation attire with Glynda smiling at them for their efforts, "Congratulation for graduating from our esteemed Beacon Academy you four. Ruby Rose. Yang Xiao Long. Weiss Schnee. Blake Belladonna. You hereby graduated from Beacon Academy and have joined the elites of Hunters. We shall expect good things from you in the future."

Turning her head around gesturing to the crowd roaring in applause clapping for the young Huntresses blushing or smiling along with waving at the scene with the fathers Tai and Ghira yelling out, "THAT'S OUR BABY GIRLS! LOOK HOW THEY GREW UP!"

"DAD!!!"

Ruby, Yang, and Blake all yelled at their fathers with clear embarrassment with Summer chuckling at this with a happy smile as Kali spoke to her, "How long do you think those three will return to him? Hmm… any bets?"

At that Summer calmly replied to Kali trying to act calm but her actions of taking out her Lien contradicts her expression, "I don't know they breakup a while ago… 10,000 Lien says they get back together by the end of the day."

Kali smirked at this agreeing thinking she would win by her placement with wisdom in her words, "Oh ok. I bet they already got back together before graduation."

Summer smirked at that in a challenging tone to Kali, "Oh, your, so on."

Qrow stands by leaning on the back of the wall acting as security for graduation but smiles seeing his family growing up, "Heh. Look at them now sis. Yang and Ruby both grew up to be decent women. Wish you would be here to see Yang but… sigh. I guess there are just some things that weren't meant to be."

As Qrow sees his nieces growing up the members of Team RWBY smiled and waved at the people coming along with seeing their families together as they all stepped down after each receiving their Hunter License.

The girls each had a proud expression as they walk down the stage to their seats with people waving at them for their popularity.

Glynda then clears her throat bringing out the next group and getting the crowd to suck in the air waiting in anticipation for them to come, "Ahem! Now then… we have the next Team group to graduate…"

Glynda for her part flinched slightly before breathing in and out of the next group as they began to walk down with Glynda introducing them, "Our next batch to graduate our humble Beacon Academy despite their leader being a pain to my side for the years… I introduce everyone to Team JNPR!"

"AHH!"

"YEAH!"

"THE HEROES OF OUR TIME!"

The crowd roared out clapping louder as the group appeared with Nora snickering at the scene jabbing her shoulder at Ren, "Heh. Talk about recognition here right Ren?"

Ren rolls his eyes but the bemused expression on his face told Nora all she needed to know.

Coming towards the group was Oscar with Ozpin in control congratulating them for their time in Beacon Academy, "On behalf of all of us present it's an honor to properly graduate all of you in our humble academy."

Turning around to face the crowd as Glynda began to talk to everyone as she walks forward to Team JNPR activating the Scrolls for their Hunter License, "Congratulation for graduating from our esteemed Beacon Academy you four. It really has been a pleasure teaching you all. Now then… Pyrrha Nikos. Lie Ren. Nora Valkyrie. Jack Nights. You all hereby graduated from Beacon Academy and have joined the elites of Hunters. I hope to work with you all one day in the future."

"Whoa!"

"Whistle!"

"JACK-SAMA!!!"

"PYRRHA-SAMA!!!"

The crowd is appalled at the group graduating happily recalling the heroes in their younger years helping everyone as Pyrrha gazes over to Jack with a smile on her face, "I'm glad to have met you, big idiot. I'm glad you waited till we all come to age."

Jack nods in understanding holding her hand as they all walk down the stage replying to her with a knowing smile on his face, "Yeah… it has been one hell of a ride I'll tell you. And after this… it only gets crazier from here. Once I'm done with what I have to do… I guess I don't need to say it now do I?"

All three of them nodded in understanding what their leader meant.

This was the final day they could officially be a part of Team JNPR after they go their separate ways with each of them following their goals in life.

While the time spent together as Team JNPR was the best all four of them best experienced with each other it was also time for them to finally become their own persons in life after everything they have gone through.

An end to their life chapter as Team JNPR.

And they weren't the only ones to end their teams being disbanded.

But for now, to them, they would still be Team JNPR for as long as the day lasted with Pyrrha speaking for them in an emotional tone, "Right… we all have to disband and find our own wings to fly. We all knew this day would come but… for now, let's spend this day together as the final days of the Team JNPR era come to an end. And a new chapter in our lives."

All of them smiled at that with Jack responding to them giving them the heads up, "Right. But will end Team JNPR with a bang. One last party for all of us before the finale. I invited Ruby's family, the Schnee's, Belladonna's, Glynda, Oscar, Qrow, Team RWBY, Team SSSN, and Ironwood."

The three paused at that last one looking at Jack for a bit with confusion before he reasons why with a knowing grin on his face, "What? I mean it would be funny to see that guy's face to see when 'they' are gone. I couldn't resist. He would lose it~"

"Right…"

"Hahahaha!!!"

They all had their deadpan expressions before they all laughed at each other and their leader antics wanting to troll the General along with those close to him in the party private on the island he took over.

As they took their seats, they all began to go through the other students for their graduations waiting patiently for the time to come to leave…

Nearing the end of the graduation for all Glynda Goodwitch finally gave them all a speech to end graduation day as the former students are all filled with pride hearing their former Headmistress's words, "And that would all, and I hope for everyone to become the pillars of Hope for those in need. As of this moment forward, you all have officially become Huntsman and Huntress, I salute you all and your future endeavors! Good luck to you all!"

"THANK YOU, HEADMISTRESS!!"

Everyone, all of the students, took a stand and bowed to the person helping them throughout the years teaching them how to fight and what.

Like that the graduation day has nearly come to an end with the groups now leaving home with a sense of pride in them as outside the Beacon Academy Airports was a Bullhead Ship specifically designed with a Future Foundation logo on the sides.

The guest joined by Jack's request soon began to come over as he requested one big party for their graduation night, "Hello everyone! Friends! Family! And lovers! I welcome you to my personal island for one big party tonight to celebrate our final days as teams! And I hope you all enjoy the stuff I prepared and –"

Taking a quick gaze at his lover's, eyes with a glint at the mention of food to which he already got the idea, "—my robotic cooks will provide you all to your needs. We only have today to enjoy ourselves and I don't intend to miss it. After all, by tomorrow everything will change! Now then time to get going!"

Like that Jack began to enter with everyone hearing him cursing at him the adults were confused but his friends know very well what he meant, "You cook for them that one time and somehow I'm to blame for making Team SSSN gay that one time and have banned from my own kitchen!! I swear they are very unappreciative of my artistic cooking…"

His friends laughed at the boys in question while Team SSSN paled at that crossing their hearts hoping Jack wasn't the one cooking making the adults curious about the stories of the leader of Team JNPR's infamous cooking strikes again.

Turning around and gesturing them to enter they all entered inside used to Jack's antics with the girls sighing in relief that Jack wasn't the one cooking but his androids in relief as they don't want their parents dying of good food, questioning their sexuality, or coma's.

Like that the game has been set and the die has been cast…

The finale is coming soon…
