I laid in the light of the two suns in my bikini, and some sunglasses, one of the plus sides of having two suns is that it’s easier to get a tan. The sound of the lake splashing up on on the shore was soothing to me as I laid there, letting my mind wander. The sound of the water nearby was a refreshing sound as I laid on the blanket. My book was again at my side closed if I ever wanted to start reading again but so far I just laid there. I sat up and stretched a bit, hearing some pops from my back.

“This is so~ good.” I said happily, loving the sunlight and warmth. Sure the night time was pretty and relaxing, but most nights were cold, and I wasn’t a real fan of the cold.

As I thought about it, I remembered my time as a child, alone in the snow. As I pulled my legs up, I thought on what that world was like? Sure I was only at the snowy town in the alleyways and streets and that was bad, really bad, but I never saw what the rest of it was like. I slightly curse my adventurous side on wanting to go back, I believe Mother would let me visit, but I always never asked. Was it fear of going that was stopping me?

My mind was soon drawn to the sound of wings flapping. Looking up I saw Mother descended onto the ground next to me, folding up her wings once she touched the ground.

“I see you’re enjoying the second sun.” She said with a chuckle, noting that I was trying to get a tan. I smiled at her.

“Well it’s nice, and hey I look good tanned.” I said looking at my arm, only seeing it was still white. I frowned at it, “Well, I think I do, even laying out here with one sun for a good long while, I still can’t seem to get one.”

It was true, for as long as I could remember I could never get a tan. I could sit under the sun, or two, butt naked and I would still be pale white. Was it due to my semblance that was causing it?

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try and try again.” Mother said while waving her hand over the grass, causing it to sprout several long vines that formed a chair that Mother now sat on. “So had anything occurred today? Have you done any training?” She asked.

“Yes, I done some training!” I said happily. “Trying to see how far I could control my semblance, I was doing alright… until I burned a chair.”

With that I looked over to my side to see a half charcoal chair still smothering nearby after I threw it in the water and retrieved later. “I’m… getting better, I think?” Mother looked at the chair in concern but chuckled after a brief moment of silence.

“There is still room for improvement.” She said, leaning back onto her vine chair. Despite how it looks, Mother looked comfortable sitting on it.

“Still, that’s cool.” I said, nodding to the vine chair.

“You’ve seen me do this countless times before.” She said with a smile, a sunhat appearing atop her head.

“Again it’s still cool to me.” I told her with a smile. I laid back down in both suns rays. As we laid or sat there for a time my mind wandered back to my world that I was born in. I was old enough to go if I ask, what’s stopping me? I sighed and looked up to the two suns in the sky in deep thought. “Mom, if I asked if I wanted to visit the world I was born in, would you let me?”

“Well… it depends really.” She said, giving it some thought.

“Depends on what?” I asked, curious by what she meant. She looked at me with a raised brow before speaking.

“Do you want to go?” She asked, still smiling as she clasped her hands together. I stared at her for a few moments before looking off to think about it. Do I want to go?

After a minute of thinking I nodded, “I do.” With a chuckle, Mother stood up and the vines retracted back into the ground.

“Then I see no reason to deny you of your trip.” She said. I looked up at her as she smiled down at me. I gave her a half-hearted smile back as I continued to think about it. I shook my head a bit to clear my head.

“So when should I head out?” I asked her.

“Once you’ve packed then come see me at the Grand Hall.” She said, spreading open her wings before taking off into the skies with a single flap. I watched her fly off into the sky before she disappears in the wide expanse. I let out a sigh before standing up.

I rolled up my blanket and started to make my way to my room. A door appeared in front of me as I opened it, leading me down a long hall. As I walked, I saw two guys, probably more of those World Hoppers I seen as a child. I walked past then, seeing them follow me with their eyes. Ah, I’m still in my bikini.

“Take a picture; it’ll last longer,” I said back to them as I rounded the corner. I heard one made a loud coughing sound as I walked, making me chuckle. I made my way to my room to change and pack. It took me about half an hour, but I soon stepped out of my room with some gray pants, a camo tank top and a black long coat. I held my bag of clothes, books, and a toothbrush as I walked towards where Mother is at, the sound of my boots made as I walked down the hall was the only sound I heard.

“Have you packed everything?” Mother asked as I neared her.

“Clothes, books, toothbrush, underwear, the stone you gave me the first time I went to the first world I’ve been, which,” I pulled out a necklace with said stone in it. “Got this made by your sister, am I missing anything?” She looked at me with a dsmug look before revealing Molten Coil and my scroll. I open my mouth and then close it. “Well, this is the first time I saw you with a smug look on you.”

“And this is the first time you nearly forget your weapon.” She said, handing me Molten Coil and my scroll. I blushed in embarrassment as I took them, putting the scroll in my bag and Molten Coil in her straps.

“Sorry, mom… I’ll remember them next time.” I said softly. She smiled and patted my head lovingly before pulling me into a hug.

“Be safe out there.” She whispered. I smiled and nodded.

“I will.” I whispered back to her. “I’ll try to find you a trinket there as well if you want.” She chuckled as she pulled back, the gateway to my homeworld opening beside her. I looked at it for a moment before looking back. Giving her one last hug I walked through the portal, into my homeworld.

My vision was all blurry for a few moments before I could see again. When I could, I saw I was in an alleyway. I looked back just to see the gateway closing. Looking forward I walked towards the end of the alley and took a sharp intake of air. I saw people, Faunus, building, airships and a lot of other things. The sounds of people talking and yelling filled my ears as they twitched and turned towards different sounds. I couldn’t help but smile as I made my way through the streets. As I did this I pulled my scroll out and tapped at it, making sure that I had cash at the ready. When I saw I did I put it back in my bag and moved along.

I didn’t do much as I walked, just simply took everything in, the world I left when I was little, a world that I thought hated me for how I looked, for who I was, now I was simply enjoying being back here, and it wasn’t cold! That’s a plus. I wonder what I should do first? Should I grab something to eat, look around, talk to people, try out some games at arcades, go see- Oh a bookstore!

I skipped over to the bookstore that had a large green sign with gold lettering that says ‘Tukson’s Book Trade’ on the windows was the initials of it, saying it has both new and old books and it’s the home of every book under the sun. That made me tilt my head before walking into it. The room had floor to ceiling bookshelves to my left and right with smaller shelves in front of me. The whole place was filled with books from old to new. I was in heaven.

I saw a man standing behind the counter; he had black hair that seemed to come down to what I could guess is sideburns. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

“Welcome to Tukson’s Book Trade. Home to every book under the sun, how can I help you?” he asked me. I wanted to question the whole ‘every book under the sun’ thing, but I decided to ignore it.

“I’m just looking, thank you.” I told him.

“Ah well if you need anything just ask.” he said. I smiled as I went to look around. There were so many books, and even more in the back. I merely hummed to myself as I looked through the books until I came across one. It was fairly large book in old leather. I pulled it out and almost dropped it. Looking on the front was the title and an image of a sword with red wing like robe around it.

“The Crimson Huntress…” I muttered to myself. As I held it something told me in my head to take it. I carried it over to the counter and dropped it on it, along with a few others. “How long for these four?”

“Ah, well for them all that’s-” he stopped as he saw the large book, pushing the one book on top of it. “You’re getting this one?”

“Yeah, something wrong with it?” I asked. He simply shook his head.

“No no, it’s just that for as long as I remember I had this book in the store. Maybe since I opened.” he looked up to the ceiling for a moments. “I believe I got it from a trader some time before I opened, saying that he got it from another trader and so on and so forth. Ever since I never found someone to buy it.”

“Well… can I buy it?” I asked, hoping I could.

“Oh yes you can, let’s see here…” he tapped away on a funky cash register. “That’ll come to...ninety six Lien.”

I cringed at the amount as I reached into my bag. I pulled out a card for a hundred and gave it to him. He swiped it and pushed all the books into a large bag.

“Here you go, hope I’ll see you again soon.” he said. I smiled at him as I took the bag and walked out. I looked through the bag as I bumped into someone.

“Sorry!” I said. I looked up to see a woman with emerald hair, tan skin and red eyes and a man with gray hair and eyes.

“It’s not a problem.” the woman said. I gave them a smile and walked off. As I did I heard their footsteps walking away. One of them were heavy and a loud thud every step, prosthetic foot or leg? I pushed the thought to the back of my head as I put the three smaller ones into my bag as the big one I had no hope putting it in. I simply carried the book in my arms for sometime before I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see two men in outfits there, looking at me.

“Hi… can I help you?” I asked them.

“Do you know what day it is today?” he asked me. I blinked as he frowned at me.

“Uhhh, Tuesday?” I told him. He frown deepened as he looked at me.

“Yes, it’s also the start of the semester at Beacon.” he said.

“Oh, cool.”

“And you’re late for classes.” the second man said. I blinked at them, wait what?!

“Wait, hold on-” the men moved behind me and started to push me forward.

“Come on, if we hurry you’ll make it to you’re second class.” one of them said. I tried to tell them I’m not a student but they weren’t listening. I was soon led to an small airship and was transported to Beacon.

“But… I’m not a student…” I tried to tell them.

“Yeah, they all say that.” one of the men said. I frowned at them as the plane flew towards this Beacon. I looked out of the window and saw a large tower like building getting bigger as we got closer. Soon we landed and I was lead towards the tower. I would say something but I was too busy with taking in the area I was in. I was lead toward what look like changing rooms as one of the men handed me a bag.

“Here’s your uniform, put it on and we’ll lead you to your classroom.” the man said. I decided to go along with this since I didn’t believe I could convince them otherwise. I nodded as I went into a stall of the women’s changing room and looked at the uniform; it consists of a white shirt with a tan vest and dark brown jacket and a red plaid skirt. There was also a red ribbon which I guessed it’s was a tie or something. I decided to put it on as I didn’t want to make the man wait long. Oh yeah it’s just the one guy… what did he look like again? Oh wow I didn’t take note about that… damn.

As I put on the uniform, I notice one thing; it’s a bit small on me. “Umm hey, this is a bit small on me.”

“Sorry, it’s only one they had to spare.” I heard him say. I sighed as tied to look decent in it. So far I had to keep the jacket open and the shirt hugged by chest, which the vest didn’t really help relieve that. The skirt was alright, showed a bit too much leg for my liking. When I got everything on I stepped out to see the man, or was a female now. She had bright red hair with classes one over her purple eyes. She wore a red jacket and black pants as she looked at me. Why does she have pants!?!

“Umm, where’s the other guy?” I asked her.

“Had to do something, I’m leading ya to your class.” she told me. I nodded as the two of us walked down the hallway. I had to fidget with my outfit as we walked, blushing a bit as we walked. The woman looked over to me. “After classes we’ll get some measurements for ya.”

“Thanks.” I said. She smiled as we came up to a large door. She opened it and stepped in. I looked around to see it was a large room that was circler, students sat on long bench like seats that were facing towards, who I guessed, the teacher. At the moment everyone looked towards me, making me blush as I fidget with my outfit some more. The teacher looked at me in confusion before looking down at his desk, a frown forming as he looked back to me. I heard him silently cursing at something while I looked over to the students, seeing that there aren’t many students present. There were about twelve students, all in groups of four. One group that was near to the front had four girls, one was a young black haired girl with a red hooded cloak and silver eyes, another had white hair with icy blue eyes, the third was a blonde with lilac coloured eyes, and lastly was a raven haired girl with a black bow in her hair and golden coloured eyes.

The second group had a mixture of two girls and two boys. The boys were that of a blonde guy with blue eyes, and a black haired with a little pink stripe in it with purple coloured eyes. For the girls there was a red haired ponytailed girl with I think some sort of head piece in her hair with green eyes and a orange hair girl with blue eyes. She seemed to be waving at me to say hello.

For the last group was all boys, one guy had brown hair with blue eyes that was smirking at me, don’t like him already, with a guy with a lime green mohawk and blue eyes, a browned haired guy with his eyes closed, how can he see? And a gray haired guy with blue eyes. Team Blue eyes here?

I looked towards the teacher who was talking to the woman that took me here. I just caught some of what they were saying.

“... I don’t take late drop ins, you of all people should know this.” Said the Teacher with an angered tone.

“I know that, most of the staff here knows that. But if ya must know the other classrooms are already full, yours only has twelve students.” the woman said, crossing her arms. Hearing this, the Teacher groaned in defeat.

“Alright, fine. Now get out of my class.” He said to the woman, his anger somewhat diminished. The woman shook her head before looking at me.

“Don’t mind him, he’s a great teacher.” she said before leaving the room. I looked down at the classroom and carefully walked down to the front. The other tweleve stared at me as I did this which didn’t help me at all. I soon got down to the front row and sat down, seeing that I was the only one that sat in the front. I shook my head and look forward at the teacher who didn’t look happy.

“Now then…” He said, pulling up a silver flask and popping it open before taking a swig of whatever was inside. He then closed the flask and put it away before shaking his head while groaning. “To continue my earlier discussion, this semester I plan to take things a step up. No more classroom work, from now on class will be given in the training hall or out in the field.” He said, adjusting the collar of his dress shirt before leaning onto his desk while glaring at the entire class. “I’m through taking it easy and it’s about damn time you show what you’re really capable of.” He said in a low and ominous tone before straightening up and clearing his throat. “But that’s for tomorrow, for today however you’ll all be taking an revaluation exam and expect you all to ace it.” He said, gesturing towards a small pile of papers on his desk. There was some groaning from the other students but sooner than later they all went over and took an exam. I soon went over to get mine, I guessed. Again don’t know what got me to come here but better to go along with it. I walked over to the rest and took a exam and walked back to my seat. I saw the other students already working on the exam, some doing well while others have look like their getting nervous. I sat down in my seat and looked through the papers.

Luckily the questions that were on the exam are ones that both Mother and my aunt asked me while they taught and train me. I wrote down the answers for each question carefully. Penmanship is also a factor since it would be bad if the teacher couldn’t read then answers. When I was finished I saw that I was the fourth person to finish it. I stood up and walked over to the teacher to hand it in. It works like that right?

Walking back to my seat, I noticed the brown haired guy checking me out to which I glared at him in return. This only made him smirk, somehow thinking I was playing hard to get. Once I sat down and removed any thoughts of the weirdo, I looked towards the teacher as he graded the papers. He stopped for second after grading the third test, looking at me before looking back at what I could guess were my test papers. He curiously read all the answers and graded them but that didn’t stop me from wondering if I messed up. I believe I got them right, maybe he worded them in a way that I should’ve thought about it some more. I thought about it until the teacher got everyone’s attention.

“The majority of you have shown great improvement last semester but… it seems Team CRDL needs to improve just a tad bit more than the rest of you.” He said, glaring at the four guys. The brown haired guy paled at his words. “JNPR… Nora, you can’t just cripple all of your enemies. Where is the fun in that?” He asked. I didn’t know if he was serious or not but the orange haired girl responded by simply saying not with that attitude. “Then there’s Team RWBY… I get that you can’t remember the answers but you can’t just draw on the blanks, Ruby. Weiss scored a perfect, Yang copied Weiss so no go on your end blondy. Blake may have been the last to turn in her test, but at least she took the time to answer them all correctly, so huzza for that or whatever.” He said, pushing the graded papers aside but one. “But then there’s you…” He said, his gaze landing on me. I felt a shiver went up my spine and I shrank a bit. “I don’t recognize you nor your name, you don’t show up on any of the Academy’s files and yet here you are.” He said, picking up my test and walking up to me. I shifted a bit in my seat, not knowing where this is going. Stopping just in front of my desk, he soon placed my test paper down. I looked down at it, seeing a perfect score. “Everything here, taught during the last semester, answered correctly and not even a single grammatical error. Impressive.” He said, taking the test paper back and walking up to desk once again. I watched him walked off as I heard some mermering from around me. I drawn attention to myself, great~. I slumped down in my seat as the teacher talked to the other students. My ears flattened in hopes to block out the mermering. I let out a sigh as I looked forward, just to see a pair of silver eyes staring back at me.

“Wah!” I yelled, reeling back at the woman in front of me.

“Sorry! Didn’t mean to scare you.” the woman said. I took some breaths to calm down. What was this girls name again? Ruby? Wait wasn’t she a few rows away from me? How did she get down here so quickly?!

“Uhh, it’s fine… do you need something?” I asked.

“Yeah! How did you do on the exam?” she asked. I opened my mouth but was interrupted by someone calling for her. We both looked up to see the white haired girl looking at her angry. “Ah, tell me later okay?”

“Uhh o-” I turned and she was gone, a few rose petals floated down where she was. “-kay?”

I shook my head as the teacher was about to start talking again. I didn’t have any books or notebooks to write with so I pulled my scroll out to use that.

Oh my mother, that was a lot of typing. I flexed my fingers to get some feeling in them from all the notes I took down. It was all basic stuff but if I didn’t take notes mom would be mad at me. Luckily the bell went off and I had to move on to lunch. I put my head on the table and sighed, how did I get into this?

The other students left soon after the bell rung, leaving me to my thoughts. My stomach growled as well, I guess I can go get some food. I picked myself back up and pushed myself out of my seat.

“Before you even think of walking out through that door, let me just ask you one thing. Who are you, exactly?” The voice of the teacher brought my attention back to him. His question confused me a bit and he seemed to notice this. “I just finished looking through your history and found nothing, by all accounts you don’t even exist. So I ask again, who are you?” He asked.

“I’m Viri… Viri Mal Kun.” I told him. I saw him frown at this so I continued. “Look, you asked me who I was and I’m telling you that, I came to look around since I haven’t been here for a long time and wanted to see this place. I was maybe mistaken for a student and got dragged here. I tried to tell the two that brought me but they wouldn’t listen. I just gave up trying and rolled with this.” By the end of my explanation, he had already sat down and covered his face with his hands.

“Oum above have mercy on me…” He muttered under his breath before lowering his hands and looking at me. “Thank you for being honest, I’ll bring this up to the Headmaster as soon as I can. For now, go about your day.” He said in a professional tone.

“Yes sir.” I said with a smile as I turned to leave. As I got to the door I looked back at him with a smile before heading off.

Author's Notes:

Well, this is something. Yeah, this sorta came out of nowhere but I will tell you that this won’t replace what has already happened. In fact, if things go right it might help out what I have planned.

Big thanks to my Co-writer Uncle_Death with having Viri be born in his world. Things are going to get more fun
