Initiation by Fire – Chapter 3
"You have all elected to join my school, and all of you managed to pass the written exam. Unfortunately there was a mix up and there is now too many of you." Ozpin pauses his stroll along the line of students to take a sip from his beacon academy coffee mug, his grey hair shining slightly under the light from inside the dropship. "As a result I want you all to consider this a… trial by fire. At the end of this trial I will select three people to be sent home. Each of you shall be monitored as you complete the initiation however we will not interfering in any way. Should you hesitate to kill any Grimm, then I pray you a painless death. Glenda, the assignment please." A smaller lady with blonde hair walked up holding a scroll to her face, the device allowing her to pull up information retaining to any of the students and giving her access to any files she wished. A student to Folvos's Right caught his eye as she tensed up about the Grimm, dismissing her as nervous he turned to Kat, it may have only been a few weeks but they had gone in a heartbeat.
"This initiation task has been selected to be extra difficult; lately there has been an infestation of Grimm inside these woods. Although it may seem like an easy task we need you all to clear out as many Grimm as you can. You shall be graded by your total confirmed kills at the end of tomorrow, the three lowest scores, as Ozpin stated, will be removed from the school. Are there any questions?"
"Folvos looked around at all the different students before turning to look at Kat noticing her looking back up at him. He smiled softly and slightly nervously before turning back to face the end of the dropship.
"When you are ready your trial may begin." As Glenda said that the doors opened scaring a few of the students backwards.
"Good luck students, and may the best Hunter or Huntress win." Are Ozpin's final words before everyone starts filing out of the aircraft.
Folvos looks at the note one of the teachers had handed him. 'You have been summoned to Ozpin's office at the top of the watchtower; you be there by 3pm.' Was all it had said, he had no idea what to expect but Kat had also received the note.
"What do you think it is?" He asked her nervously inside the elevator.
"I dunno, maybe we're too good and he's placing us ahead a year?" She asked getting all hopeful.
"I doubt it, how many kills did we get, did we get enough?"
"Of course we did, we got soo many!"
"Perhaps it wasn't enough though…"
"Either way, I think we're near the top. I guess we're about to find out."
"The doors to the elevator opened to reveal a spacious office at the centre of which sat Ozpin with a table and another girl off to the side. She leaned against a wall wearing a black, red and cream dress with her arms around her in an impatient look to her. Folvos had to stop himself from giving a whistle in the headmaster's presence but he nodded to her admiring her long white hair and making note of the pink ribbons entwined around her hair as well as her undistinguishable weapon.
"Ahh, Ms. Snow, here are the other two, please take a seat." Ozpin motioned to the seats in front of his table and the three approached, Kat and Folvos taking a seat while Dawn stood to the side of the cluster. Folvos and Ozpin eyed her slightly before Kat broke the "So, why are we here?"
"Well that's just it. I'm not one to dance around the subject and you three are the ones that killed the least, Dawn you somehow managed to only score 5 confirmed kills." Ozpin placed his hands folded onto the desk and glance along the saddened and crushed faces of Folvos and Kat. Dawn however seemed almost unaffected.
"A-are you sure sir?" Folvos questioned hoping beyond hope that it wasn't true, thoughts of his deserted village flooding back through his mind.
"I am, however over the night that you were out proving your dedication we managed to find another application form we originally missed. Cozi pines is the final student that has gotten through to Beacon." Pausing to take a sip of his Coffee the collected people were left to ponder his words.
"That means that there's enough for another team right?" A look of realisation spreads across Folvos's face at Kat's words.
"That is correct Kat. I decided to tell you all this privately for two reasons, first and foremost is the fact that this development is too late for me to add it to the ceremony list, and secondly he… he's had a rough life and while I hope he isn't too bad he does present some difficulties." Ozpin looks up to Folvos's Wolf ears on top of his head, happily perked as well as Kat's bat ears.
"You shall all become a team however I have made the decision to split your team up into two different rooms. One for Kat and Folvos, one for Dawn and Cozi, If he gives you any problems the teachers know of him and will be happy to help you out. Together your team shall become know as Team FCKD, An unusual name for unusual circumstances." Ozpin relaxes back in his seat as he looks over the new team, smiling softly at them.
"S-sir, who is the team leader though?" Folvos tilts his head and looks at Ozpin curious to hear his reply.
"That is to be decided, although I believe I know who it will be I think you need time to see whether or not you're able to handle him."
