Bab 21: The Legend Begins Here
*BOOM!*
An extremely loud booming sound was heard throughout the forest.
The ground in a few hundreds of meters was shook because of a powerful shockwave that seemed to happen from a distance.
The birds flew out from the trees and a certain group of fledgling hunters was startled at the sudden tremor.
"Woah!" Ruby jumped up in surprise.
The rest of the gang also slightly jumped up from that surprising tremor. They weren't sure what caused that, but they began on having some speculations.
Anyway, these group of fledgling hunters just finished defeating the giant Nevermore and the Death Stalker by helping each other.
Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha and Ren was the one who dealt with the Death Stalker, and after working together as a team, they actually managed to defeat it.
Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang was the one who handled the giant Nevermore, but they had a hard time on dealing with it.
Afterall, it was a huge flying kaiju-like Grimm, it was quite difficult to deal with as they couldn't fly and they were land creatures, they were obviously at a huge disadvantage.
That Nevermore was truly too big. Its avian physique was harder, stronger and faster.
The girls initially had a hard time in dealing with it, as it was quite hard to do some real damage on the monstrous Grimm.
But after Jaune and his squad defeated the giant black scorpion, they then lend a hand to the girl squad. Yet, they still struggled in defeating it.
But soon, after some proper planning and the excellent executions of their plans, they somehow managed to successfully defeat the giant Nevermore, with Ruby giving it the finishing blow by cutting off its head.
And now, they were running back into the forest to help Jin out against the other monstrous Grimms, until they suddenly felt that tremor.
"What the heck is happening over there?!" Jaune wondered in fear for his friend.
It looked like Jin is having a nasty fight against those monsters.
"Let's hope for the best..." Ren said.
Yang couldn't help but have a worried expression on her face. She just hoped that Jin wasn't badly hurt, but that's when she came to a realization.
'Wait.....didn't he say that he wouldn't do anything dangerous?! Then why does it seem that he's fighting them?!'
Soon, everyone saw a human figure coming towards them through the trees on the distance.
They all stopped and the figure reveals itself to be Jin, who just had a smirk on his face and was walking steadily.
But his hair was slightly messed up and so was for his 'suave' clothes.
Though, his clothes was in a slightly worse state than his hair, as there was some parts of it that was either torn off, or was cut.
There were originally bruises on the revealed parts of his skin, but it already healed because of his Aura.
"Well, well, well. Looks like you guys actually managed to deal with that Nevermore, huh." Jin said as he approached the group.
Nora looked at him in awe and she pointed out, "Look! He's still alive yet again! Now that's awesome!"
"Did you just assume that I would-Oof!"
Jin didn't get to finish his words, as he was suddenly tackled into the ground by a red and yellow blur. He looked to see who it was, and he was greeted by a crushing hug from his sisters.
"YOU'RE OKAY!" Yang and Ruby happily said together as they continued to hug Jin even tighter, which made his face slowly turn blue.
"Right.....Please let go now." Jin wheezed out.
"What happened to your clothes?! I knew it! You actually fought them on your own! I swear, I won't let you do that ever again!" Yang exclaimed.
"Fine, fine. Now let go!"
Both of the sisters finally released him from his pain, and they looked at the young man with a sheepish face as they scratched their heads.
Jin then got up and gave them a small glare before turning to the others, "Well, you guys look good."
The rest just looked at Jin with shock and awe. Even though his appearance was a bit messy, but overall, he was fine. He seemed to actually managed to fight off those fearsome-looking Grimms, all by his own.
"Wow.....did you really deal with those Grimms?" Pyrrha asked in amazement.
"Wasn't too hard..." Jin smiled.
Blake was looking at his disheveled hair and clothes and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really alright? It looks like you had a hard fight..."
"Of course he's fine. Remember that hard drop from the sky, earlier? I mean look at him! He's obviously the picture of health! And with that giant skeleton Semblance of his, I bet he slammed those Grimms all over again." Weiss pointed out.
Even though he was an insane man, she couldn't help but be amazed at his abilities.
"Awesome..." Jaune commented.
'Well, after seeing the power of that giant skeleton thingy earlier, of course he could deal with them.'
"Anyway, I'm going back to the temple since I haven't got my relic yet. You guys can go on ahead, I'll see you guys later." Jin said as he turned back.
"We're coming with you! If we're gonna go back, then we all have to go back together!" Ruby said to him and the rest nodded their heads.
Jin just smiled before they all walked together on their way back to the temple.
.....
.....
The scene now takes us in the school's Amphitheater.
The students were gathered here for the official announcement of the teams. Ozpin was standing in the middle of the stage with four students, while the holo-screens above showed their images and the name of their team.
For the past few minutes, the headmaster of Beacon Academy had been assigning the passing first year students on their teams, as well as choosing the team's leaders.
Like with all the previous years, this had been a long and complicated process. Choosing team leaders was not something to be taken lightly, but the headmaster felt confident in the choices that he made throughout the way.
"Russel Thrush, Cardin Winchester, Dove Bronzewing, and Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by Cardin Winchester!" Ozpin announced.
The watching students clapped for the new team before team CRDL stepped down from the stage. Four new students then walked up to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces were shown on the screen.
"Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Pyrrha Nikos, and Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR." Ozpin announced.
A wave of clapping and cheering was heard around the crowd as the four of them smiled, happy to be in a team together.
Nora was so happy that she hugged Ren, surprising him slightly but smiled nonetheless.
"Led by…..Jaune Arc!"
Jaune looked at Ozpin in surprise and nervousness, while Pyrrha grinned at her new team leader, "L-Led by?"
The man simply nodded at Jaune with a smile, "Congratulations, young man."
Pyrrha then gave the shocked Jaune a friendly shoulder punch, but the leader was not prepared for it and he was knocked over and falls to his butt, causing the audience to laugh at the scene.
Soon, Team JNPR left the stage, and four young girls walked over to take their places on the front.
"Blake Belladonna, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long." Ozpin said as he motions his hand over the four girls, that stood before him.
"The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by.....Ruby Rose."
After this announcement, the audience let out a round of applause at the announcement of another team leader.
Hearing the announcement, Weiss had the look of surprise as she turns to Ruby, and the girl herself looked dumbfounded at the statement, as if not believing what she just heard.
Before she could process it however, her older sister jumped off and enveloped her in a no doubt, bone crushing hug.
"I'm so proud of you!"
From the sidelines, Jin was smiling. Even though he already knew that it was fated to happen, he couldn't help but still feel happy and proud for his twin sister.
"And finally, Jin Rose." Ozpin called.
The man himself then proceeded to go up to the stage and stepped forward as he stood in front in front of Ozpin. And of course, he had some new clothes on.
"You have retrieved the white king piece. Normally you would have been placed in a team, but after looking at your transcript and at your performance in the test..." Ozpin said as he motioned his hand over at the screens.
Soon, a footage of Jin fighting a King Taijitu and a Beringel, was shown to the audience.
He was killing them instantly by blowing away a huge part of their bodies in one punch, particularly their heads. This made the audience gasp in shock and awe at Jin's might.
How could this freshman actually defeat those powerful Grimms by his own? Especially that Beringel, as those kinds of Grimms was one of the superior species, and was quite hard to kill.
Another video was shown to them, and this time, it was where Jin was surrounded by what seemed to be two to three separate packs of Beowolves.
But also looking at his surroundings, their were alot of Beowolf corpses, possibly Jin having killed them before the current scene.
Again, he was killing the Beowolves instantly in just one punch. A huge part of their bodies was blown away, and if Jin punched their faces, then their heads would explode like a watermelon.
The crowd was looking at the recording in a daze, their shock obviously increased by alot at the sight. This fresh man was quite strong.....no he was too strong.
Looks like this monster of a man will now be a part of Beacon Academy.
Ozpin then continued his speech, "Because of the skill you showed in thr field, as well as the artifact you retrieved, you have been given a special title, which will be the first one that's ever appeared in Beacon Academy.....'Elite Hunter-in-Training'."
Everyone in the Amphitheater, even the staff and instructors themselves, was shocked at the headmaster's announcement.
This young man just became the first 'Elite' in Beacon.
"This title means that you are going to be an elite student in this school, you will be also given special access and treatment in the school's facilities. I expect you to carry this title with pride and responsibility."
Jin was shock in hearing this and he could tell that Ozpin wasn't joking, he was a hundred percent serious.
'An elite student, huh.....Hehe, of course! I'm bound to be in this position cause I'm a goddamn genius!'
Jin could feel his pride breaking to the next level in hearing those words.
'But still though, I'm sure he also saw my fight with that Werewolf, but he decided to not show it, huh.....Or did he? I don't know, its useless to think about it now.'
He then putted up a solemn look, "Yes, I will."
Everyone in the Amphitheater immediately clapped and cheer loudly at the first and only Elite Student in Beacon.
Ozpin smiled in hearing his words and he extends his hand. Jin accepted his hand and did the most formal handshake, symbolizing trust and agreement with each other.
"Congratulations, young man. I hope you fulfill your duties with honor and courage." Ozpin congratulated.
"I'll be sure to do so." Jin replied while smiling.
"Now that's my little brother!"
A second later, a certain blondie and a red cloaked girl jumped on the Elite Student as they gave him a big hug of happiness.
"Jin! You did it again!"
"I'm super proud of you!"
The Elite Student just smiled, "Well, a genius like me is bound to be special, right?"
Whilst watching this display of affection, Ozpin allowed a small smile to grace his face. While he did not approve of showing favouritism to students he was sure that this young man, as well as a certain team, would have a lot of eyes on them in the coming days.
"Looks like things are shaping up to be an interesting year" Said the headmaster quietly.
But Ozpin had no idea in just how right that statement would become.
