Capítulo 4: The First Day (1)
Vivid visions were the only things Subaru could see, accompanied by hushes and muffled voices with incomprehensible meaning. He could feel the sadness and anguish of the voices he heard as he lay dormant in a colorless void that surrounds him, like a raging but streamlined storm of memories, if you can call it that. He regretted leaving them behind, worried about their safety as he is stuck here in this new world.
He wondered what would happen to them when they found out that he and his spirit went missing. At this point, that would be a mystery with an unanswerable question, as the river of the future splits into an infinite and endless stream. He is worried for them, yet cannot do anything. He is powerless, weak and pathetic.
Sorrow, regret, and worry. Those words repeat inside his mind as he lay there in the ocean of dreams.
"I feel pathetic."
And with those words, his real self began to wake up, as the muffled deep whistling became louder and clearer, vanquishing the other voices he heard inside his head, and the colorless raging storm being replaced by an ever expanding light in front of his eyes. Natsuki Subaru had decided to pause his deep pondering slumber right there, for now.

He awakened his eyes to the sight of the girl he came to know as Ruby Rose, whistling loudly and energetically waking up her teammates. As he lay there on a borrowed blanket he used as a makeshift futon, he switched his focus towards Beatrice sleeping beside him, hugging him tightly as she tried to sleep peacefully, trying to ignore the annoying screech of Ruby's whistle. No one really questioned her action here, as she just said to them "To keep Betty's Subaru from having terrible nightmares, I suppose!" And no one attempted to argue from then on.
"Wake up! Time to get ready! First class is about to start in an hour!" The little rose declared, forcing everyone to get up from their slumber.
Ruby kept being annoying while trying to wake up everyone. Weiss was the first to get ready as she exited the bathroom already in her uniform, while Blake was waiting by the bathroom's door. Yang however, was still sleeping, scratching her exposed belly even.
Subaru decided to ignore her antics and focused on waking up his Beako with his own way.
"Kyaaa, in fact!"
By stretching her hair drills apart of course. It was an effective strategy, as it energized her immediately after waking up. Subaru puts on a sly smile upon his success, trying to hide the fact that he was feeling a bit down and worried today.
"Subaru, that is harassment, I suppose!" Beatrice half-yelled. She began to flail her arms at him, trying to hit his chest as Subaru stood up.
He proceeded to give her a head pat and waited by the door to the bathroom, leaving the pouting Beatrice on the makeshift futon.
Blake, who was second at exiting the bathroom, noticed him there, and noticed the pouting Beako as well. "What happened?"
"Nothing special! Just our daily ritual of drill-hair pulling!"
He puts on a smile once again, earning a confused look from her as he enters the bathroom, uniform in tow which he picked up from a chair near him. Blake went on to question his spirit partner about that "daily ritual", but before she could ask, the loli already answered.
"It is not true, in fact! Subaru should apologize, I suppose!" The spirit answered, still pouting.
"Shut up you drill-haired loli! I'm trying to sleep!" Yang yelled.
"You shut up, in fact! Wake up, I suppose! Even Betty's Subaru is better than you!"
Ruby nodded. "She's right Yang, wake up before you pass out again!"
Yang groaned as she sat up and scratched her messy hair, adding a yawn in the process as she went to the door and picked up her uniform to get ready. Subaru was almost done with the preparations, only needing to practice his smile upon a mirror, which worried Yang a little who caught him doing such an act. Who would practice such a trivial thing like that?
She sighed and decided to ignore it for now. She needs to get ready or her little sister will scold her again. 'Damn that whistle she had'

The first class Subaru had arrived in is what came to be known by him as "Combat Class", taught by Professor Glynda Goodwitch.
His first impressions of her lectures was that they were very detailed and had some very clear effort put into them, so that the complicated learning material wasn't going to fall on deaf ears. And thanks to his own experiences in fighting and the art of combat, he does understand at least some of the more advanced material taught here.
He took some notes in order to learn something from this, such as how to deliver a proper combination attack, and how to keep being mobile against larger or slower but stronger opponents, all that kind of stuff. For Beatrice however, he would guess that hand to hand combat and the like is not to her interest, she is a spellcaster after all.
Speaking of magic, Subaru had recently taken some notes regarding aura as the teacher is currently reviewing said material. He can't believe how weird and unique of a concept it is for him to learn this, even Beatrice was quite surprised and interested.
The concept of a sort of magical barrier procured from the very soul of an individual as a defense mechanism, as he understood it at least, is very intriguing and will definitely be beneficial. He would need to find a way on how he could activate this, it may save him from using EMM so many times in this unknown world.
He's sitting behind team RWBY on a higher row, next to his Beatrice of course, who is paying attention for the sake of it. The team he is staying with right now is quite a contrast for each member. Ruby is energetic and does not like to pay attention to lessons that are not interesting to her, reminding him a lot of Garfiel. Weiss is quite the opposite, paying attention thoroughly and diligently, a model student definitely. Yang and Blake are the ones he can call "normal" in their team, their traits are quite subtle, at least to him.
For who is sitting next to however, is a single white haired girl, similar to Weiss in its hair length, though totally not looking like her either since she has a different eye colour and body structure, a deeper shade of blue, and a body more developed than the rest of the students in the classroom.
His first impressions of her, in honesty, would be that she's too intimidating. He could even feel the cold skin she possessed even if she hadn't touched him yet.
He knows that this girl is not to be messed with. Though still he kept on eyeing her, just to make sure, a force of habit after dying to an assassin so many times.
"Subaru, why aren't you paying attention to class, I suppose?" Beatrice's sudden intrusion alerted him, forcing him to straighten his gaze to the lesson immediately so as to not get caught.
However, because of her intrusion, the white haired girl noticed them. Though she still kept her quietness, and continued to watch the lecture given by Professor Goodwitch.
Her eyes glanced over ever so slightly to the boy that is noting down the lessons and material in an unknown language. Her eyes immediately widen at the sight, and she is urging herself to ask what he is writing.
She nudged at his shoulder, taking away Subaru's attention from class to her.
"Yes?" Subaru tilted his head towards her. He knew that sooner or later she would say something, but not that sudden. Maybe he could make a friendly first impression to her, just maybe.
"What are those symbols that you write in?"
Subaru quickly glanced over his notes and grew beet red, did he just write in lugunican? From the looks of it, it is unfortunately true. Beatrice, taking notice as well, began to panic, though herself did not really understand why. Does this mean this world she is now in does not have the same language? It is possible, but it's her first time being in another world, so it's still a surprise even to her.
"Well, are you going to answer?"
She continued her advance in questioning him, pressuring the panicking Subaru to answer at least something. Her cold and intimidating aura and tone only reinforced her question, which sounds like a demand to most people here.
Subaru gazed at her, still panicking. "T-th...Uhhh.."
The girl only hummed in frustration, he was only stuttering, clearly panicking, and somewhat scared of her. No, scratch that, definitely scared.
So she decided to retreat for now, but before she could do so, they were interrupted by the teacher below them.
Professor Glynda Goodwitch glared at them, a stern look could be seen on her face as the rest of the class also began to look in the direction she was looking at.
"Mr. Natsuki, Ms. Indigo, what is it that you are discussing that managed to interrupt the lesson?" She asked, her tone reinforcing herself as a figure of authority in the very room.
The girl, known to Subaru currently as Indigo, is internally panicking and decided to sit away from him for the moment. Fortunately for Subaru, that means he would not need to answer her question. But, he was unfortunately unlucky enough to be questioned by an arguably more terrifying woman in this very class. Panic began to reawaken within him after a brief sigh of relief.
