In several ships that abound in the sky , was transporting several teenagers who were there to start their studies at Beacon , many of which are the best in specific classes or in several , since entering this Academy is to take a very big step for the life of all students .
Literally everyone who was chosen , or passed tests to enter the Academy , had to go through hellish tests each one more difficult than another , and not only that since everyone must reach at least level 2 in just a couple of months for their entry and not only that also in the other academies is the same .
The insiders already knew this and several of their children also managed to enter level 2 , there were several prodigies who reached the middle stage of the level , and there were only very few who entered the high stage .
Those who did not have so much information, had to go to the delegation of hunters, for a hunter to give them the information and teach them a little, of course presenting their letter of admission and the signature of the director.
In one of the many waiting rooms for newcomers, Alex and Abigail were bored waiting for the time to arrive.
To pass the time they distracted themselves by looking at the beautiful scenery outside the ship, through the windows of the ship or watching the news, especially about the criminal Roman Torchwick.
Abigail was dressed in normal clothes , with a black long-collared clothing , on top a very thin red sweater , with a pair of glasses , and a necklace and pendant in the form of a cross that prevented the demonic energy out of her .
and Alex in an all-black outfit of pants and shirt, but what was different about him was that he had cut his hair shorter, also with a cross-shaped earring.
Several of the girls and boys were staring at them because of how beautiful they were, but they ignored everything as usual.
"This is my first time at a human school! I hope it's fun and doesn't bore me to death!" says Abigail monotonously.
"I'm sure that with time they've managed to make the Academy more interesting! Otherwise even the students themselves would get bored eventually!".
"happy you had these props that prevent our true level from revealing itself! I wouldn't want you to just stand there and shit your pants in fear!"
"if you don't know how many things my family had in their secret storage! I could have taken most of them with me! Because if I stayed any longer, they'd find me out!"
"ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!.... I can just imagine the look on those demons' faces when they find out that most of their treasures were stolen! ...being their own daughter, ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!"
"huh that's what they get for not leaving me alone and being such fools!"
"hey but speaking of which they won't be looking for you right now! I'm sure they'll be very angry about what you did!"
"maybe but they won't find me that easy! I have several artifacts that erase my tracks and my existence from them! , when they find me it will be the day the dimensional barrier weakens or breaks!"
"um from what I heard from the underworld! Your family has several strong beings that surpassed the second rank!" he says a bit serious since he would be eliminated with a simple sigh for beings like that.
"Yes, but there's no need to fear! I don't think they would move all their strength just for a simple robbery! They have a lot of them in several of their territories! Maybe only my father or my mother are looking for me! , but not so much since they have their problems too!"
"fuu! Well even if your family came! I wouldn't let them take you away from me! , since you belong to me!" clutching his chin looking at each other's eyes that were empty , which in both of them only showed endless madness , with extreme possession , when they were about to kiss they are interrupted by a statement from a teacher in hologram.
"hello and welcome to Beacon , my name is Glynda Goodwitch! You are among the privileged few who were selected to attend this prestigious Academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace! But very soon that may change, and as hunters and slayers, it is your duty to maintain it! It is your duty to maintain it! You have demonstrated through the trials the courage necessary for this task! Now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and training! So that you can protect the world!" ending the communiqué.
.....
Very soon the ships landed at the air port , on the cliff of the Academy , coming out of the ship , you see an immeasurable amount of students , making it difficult to pass through because of the amount that was there ,
just being in the crowd is suffocating , the road to the entrance is crowded , so many students are using all the area around to get to the entrance .
They had to come more security to help the others who gave up , to sort out the students and also the teachers were helping .
Alex and Abigail were a long time ago away from the people , walking around the different areas of the Academy , making them see how huge it was realizing that the Academy underwent a major remodeling , literally the Academy is almost the same as a to big city , to accommodate the students who came from everywhere , there were several dormitories in the apartments of the large buildings up to 50 floors , with many sections inside .
When they were going to the auditorium , they saw two students who were walking away from the auditorium , Alex somehow made him familiar with that red cloak that the girl was wearing , but he stopped watching him and went to the auditorium with Abigail , maybe later he will ask if she is the one he really knows .
When they entered the auditorium they were greeted by a cool atmosphere, different from what they expected to a hot one because of the people there, noticing that in each specific area of the auditorium there were large crystals of frozen dust, which counteracted the heat that was there.
As they looked at the different faces that would be their classmates , Alex noticed several familiar auras throughout the place , making him smile at how interesting his time at this Academy would be.
"what are you smiling about!" asks Abigail , because of the strange expressions towards , since although she is not a somber person , she doesn't smile much .
"oh just that there are many familiar presences here that I met throughout my travels!"
"ohh are they women!" says the girl in a very cold voice , with the atmosphere getting heavy.
"yes but don't be angry! I will never leave you! So don't be jealous, they are just friends!" with an insecure voice he says the last thing, that even he himself is confused but he doesn't care, he is just hugging this girl who is breathing heavily on his chest.
On the high platform at the front, there are two people who seem to be teachers of the Academy.
"I won't be long! They have traveled here in search of knowledge! To perfect your technique and acquire new skills and when you finish you plan to dedicate your life to protecting people! But I look at you and all I see is wasted energy! A need for purpose! You assume that knowledge will free you from it! But during your stay in this school you will discover that knowledge takes you only so far and it is up to you to take the first step!" ending Director Ozpin's speech, giving way for Professor Glynda to speak.
"You will gather in the various classrooms tonight! Tomorrow your initiation will begin! Be ready! You are dismissed!" retiring.
......
By nightfall the students were settled in various rooms according to their different sections, many put a small single bed put blankets as a sleepover .
In one of the classrooms was the girl Alex had seen this morning , in her bed writing something next to her sister .
"it's like a graaannnnnn... sleepover!" says the energetic blonde .
"I don't think daddy approved of that much boy!" says the black haired girl continuing to write in her book.
I do approve... grrr " observing how many boys were without polo shirt some doing very manly poses showing their muscles , but suddenly jaune passes by who was only wearing a full body pajamas very childish for her , which discouraged her .
"what's that !" asks the blonde seeing how her sister was writing in her notebook or book .
"a letter to the band on signal !"
"I promised to tell them all about beacon , and how things are going" remembering her friends from Signal Academia .
"ohh that's so cute!" teasing him about how adorable his sister was , but a pillow falls on his face .
"shut up!"
"I couldn't bring my friends to school , it's weird not knowing anyone here!" all sad .
"what about jaune? He looks... He looks cool..." something strange for the guy that although he is weird doesn't see him as a bad person, "there's one more friend, it's a 100% increase!"
turning over and bounding face up Ruby replies "I'm sure Weiss counts as a negative crumb , again at zero !"
"there is no such thing as a 'negative friend' you just made a friend and an enemy!" but another pillow falls on her face.
"look it's only been one day! Believe me! You have friends everywhere! You just haven't met them yet!"
ruby just stares at the ceiling , putting her gaze around , she notices a faun girl she had met this morning , because she calmed down the situation with Weiss.
"that girl!"
"do you know her?" asks his sister.
"not really , she saw what happened in the morning , but she left before I could say anything !"
"well now's your chance!"
"wow.... wait! , what are you doing?" surprised as her sister pulls her arm heading towards that girl.
"helloaa! I think you two might know each other?" says the blonde to the faun who was reading her book.
"aren't you the girl who blew up?" looking at Ruby , as it reminded her of where this girl almost got carelessly hurt by the dust.
"ahh... yes , my name is Ruby!" offering her hand to the disinterested girl who was just reading her book , making the moment awkward.
To lighten the mood the sister interjects "so what's your name?"
"Blake"
"well Blake I'm yang Ruby's older sister , I like your ears , it matches your pajamas" but still the awkwardness continued.
"sure" still disinterested the faun cat , returning Ruby's gaze .
"what is your reason for being here?" he asks as he sees her too young for what is to come in this academy.
"ohh just like you read books , I loved them too , since yang used to read me books every night before sleeping about heroes and monsters , they are one of the reasons why I want to be a hunter !"
"and why is that? , do you hope to live a 'happily ever after'?"
"i hope we all do , when i was a girl i wanted to be just like the heroes in the books and also like brother Alex" she says the last very low in a sad voice , that only yang gets to hear it because he was on her side , making her sad too but she pulled herself together quickly .
Ruby also pulled herself together and continued talking "someone who will fight for what is good and protect those who can't even protect themselves".
"it's very ambitious for a girl and also very childish , unfortunately the real world is not like in fairy tales" says Blake remembering the many experiences she had before coming here , and what Alex told her still sticks in her mind .
"well that's why we're here , to make it better!" says Ruby with resolution in her eyes.
"ohh I'm so proud of my little sister!" appears yang embarrassing Ruby hugging her.
"put me down!" struggling with her sister , starting a childish fight , making a lot of commotion in the room.
"well Ruby and yang it's nice to meet-!" but is interrupted by another voice.
"what the heck is going on here!"
"don't you realize that some of us are trying to sleep?" says Weiss all annoyed , but in a subdued way without shouting , but her voice is a bit cold.
"oh not you again!" exclaims Ruby annoyed by Weiss.
And they got into an argument , which in the end , they had to end it , because of the racket they were making .
Weiss was angry with this girl , when she heard her childish dreams with her higher senses , and for spilling all the dust she had in the morning .

P.O.V. THIRD PERSON:
In the tower in the middle of the Academy , in ozpin's office a discussion was taking place ozpin with his secretary and Beacon teacher.
"are you sure about this ozpin , if you put it on many of the students will be traumatized !"
"it has to be done glynda! They must learn what their own weakness is and strengthen it! And with this test they will become aware of it! And with this test you will become aware of many things that will make you reflect! For this profession does not allow cowards and fragile people!"
"sure you will realize that several hunters and other forces are looking with different eyes to the weaker people, and it is not bad as it is the fruit of their own efforts but one should not go to the extreme! That's why I sent qrow and other leaders to explain the situation well! We don't need rebels now that we have realized that only the bottom of the food chain! we are the weakest!"
"that's why at every initiation this test will be carried out to see how many last! And enter the real world at later levels and not be so unstable!"
"I am not doing this just for my interest glynda and you know it! , it is for their sake as they are the future of us and all in remnant!"
"fine but if it goes to the extreme deploy hunters to stop the situation! I don't want dead students!" looking seriously at ozpin.
"it will be done , since I'm not sending them to die! I'm just teaching them a lesson that will be helpful for their futures!"
"speaking of the others! We also have to become stronger! Now my group are the strongest! And as the strongest we must coordinate well!"
"that's why I also sent qrow and other trusted ones to make them learn a lesson! I know we are all changing and so are you and I! , but everything must have order and control!"
"in that you are right , those who pass the initiation! I will teach them everything I know and the lessons they will learn on their journeys when they graduate!"
__________________________________________
ANIMA CONTINENT - TEMPORARILY CLOSED HUNTER BASE:
In one of the many hunter bases , there was a group that disobeyed a mission they were tasked with and wreaked havoc by their arrogance , to the point of killing a high command .
Like many of the groups named this one is called APML , made up of Andrew Harper , Philip Morgan , Mori Lee , Lucio Shaw , one of the best groups of hunters who was also informed of the new power and put it into practice , with each reaching level 4 high , with only the captain reaching the maximum stage .
They were not so rebellious before , they did everything they could to accomplish their missions and also in the process saving many lives , with several villages considering them heroes for their exploits .
But the new power did not go to their heads , rather they did their jobs faster and without losing a civilian life , but everything changed when the high command of the council , they began to treat them like lapdogs , sending them to do jobs in the underworld , sending them as assassins to clean up their black work , and that no one knows about their crimes.
but what pushed them over the edge was that when they wanted to quit the job , the damn council elder threatened them to make public all the shady jobs they did , labeling them as just criminals looking to kill by bathing in the blood of the innocent , blaming them for all their crimes they were sent to clean up , even sending them to execute their families , saying they colluded with criminals.
With all that they exploded killing the old man who threatened them and all those involved with him , with that their mentality changed , since they are strong , then what need was there to obey the orders of a dying old man who was just normal and weak that with one blow they would destroy him , So with that they killed several members of the Mistral council who were screwing them with a chase , sending purely normal soldiers who were not even good for cannon fodder , those weaklings who do not even realize the situation and act as strong are just trash in their eyes only those who are equal to them have their respect .
Every time the higher ups sent for them they just ignored them and those who were arrogant believing they were their masters , just got rid of it , angering several of these even drawing the attention of other kingdoms , that is why tonight they will teach the entire full council what true power is .
That is why they are also in this closed base since when they finish from their rest , since they do not need preparation with weak people who only boast of their seat in the council , but they must also take precautions .
"hey captain if they hired hunters who also adapted to the levels how should the mission proceed!" asked Philip to his team captain Andrew .
"if it's a whole and equal group held by us! We have to split them up individually and then finish them off quickly with our enhanced strength and if it's just one we defeat them and finish off the council!" after all even if they are at level 4 each one is not like the averages of that level since with the semblance of one of their members they can multiply their strength.
"we'll finally get rid of those rats!" says pike with annoyance since those people wouldn't stop leaving them alone.
But when they were about to continue talking they all detected a strong presence coming this way, alerted they got ready on the spot.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
the giant metal door that weighed several tens of tons was destroyed by a pair of fists .
and a shadow rushed into the entrance , alarming them further , but when the figure revealed itself , they were astonished as it was someone they knew .
"qrow!" asked Andrew with confusion , as qrow is not seen much because of his extensive missions .
"so you were right, here they were!" says qrow drinking from his flask.
"qrow what are you doing here?" now if seriously asking the team captain.
"oh that . well I came to talk civilly"
"tch that others would have believed! but not with you breaking the door, now tell me qrow what are you doing here?" asking with a touch of pressure and murderous intent.
"well now if that's all, ozpin sent me to stop you!"
"even ozpin is coming between us!"
"and tell me what ozpin wants out of this, since from what I saw it doesn't affect him at all!"
ignoring the question and ignoring the pressure he goes to sit in a chair and drinks his flask , turning his gaze to the group "look I know what you guys think of those old men! And you're not wrong, because I wanted to kill them several times too! But I must tell you that it's not the time to act yet! I know those old men have been bothering you! But your revenge will have to be delayed, those old men at least serve to make you survive the kingdom for a while! When that's over we'll kill them just like that!"
"what are you getting at?"
"get back to our group! Once our strength is established! Those old men will no longer be needed! And you can do whatever you want!"
"How will we know you're not lying right now!"
"The truth! I have no proof! , but once you come with me you will know!"
"tch how annoying you are! , but as you look my group and I won't join until you earn our respect personally!"
"ahh looks like you won't come with me without us coming to blows!" standing up he looked seriously at the group that was already ready , he too getting ready "well so be it! " to throw himself at the group .
.....
In the large swampy forests of the anima continent , from far away we could hear explosions destroying the entire terrain , with multiple figures moving at high speeds appearing and disappearing all over the place .
On a small mountain a person crashed very hard , leaving a huge crater in it , revealing to us that it is qrow who was injured but not seriously .
Standing up quickly , dodge multiple fringes of aura that only on contact with any surface makes a hole penetrating it easily .
Blinking and appearing elsewhere, Qrow attacks a member of the group, Mori, who was carrying a metal spear, which formed multiple aura shields that narrowly saved him from Qrow's sickle, but not for long as he was kicked full in the face, sending him flying into the forest and colliding with multiple trees.
When Qrow was about to attack him again, another member attacked him with large wind tornadoes that made a mess in the area, getting stronger he dodged another attack from Mori who wanted to send him into the tornado.
Using his semblance, he directed Mori, who started to have a very strong cramp in his legs and then stumbled on a stone that sent him rolling straight into the tornadoes.
But then, his sense of danger warns him , but he was too slow receiving a blow in the stomach that left him without air sending him to crash again .
But they did not let him rest because many constructions of elements were directed to him, that expelling aura of his body makes a force field that sends to fly those constructions, but in a carelessness without knowing they put him in an illusion that made him think that the four were attacking him and when he was going to make the offensive, multiple rays of aura fell on his body, making several small holes from which a lot of blood came out.
This was done by Mori who had the spear transformed into a long-range rifle, as he made use of his 'penetration' semblance that allowed him to penetrate anything he wanted including the aura.
using his spiritual vision he breaks the illusion , a little annoyed that he had been fooled , regenerating the small holes , using his senses he manages to locate everyone and realizes that they were close to him , so using his semblance expanding it in the whole area he causes a misfortune , causing giant rocks to fall from the mountains .
When the rocks were going to reach them, Philip used his semblance forming big tornadoes in his hands directing them to the rocks that stopped and were sucked by the tornado, which Philip took advantage of using the force of speed to send the rocks like cannons to Qrow who had also prepared himself and using his sickle he cut everything in half horizontally including the trees and rocks that were there but some also fell on his companions since Qrow was still using his semblance.
The whole area became a large free zone revealing the members of the opposing team, but one was missing the captain alerting qrow, but it was late as in the blink of an eye he appeared behind him with an imposing presence raising his fist which contained a lot of power even vibrating the air, qrow knowing he had no time covered his body with aura strengthening it to resist and putting his arms in x .
receiving the impact qrow flew faster than the fastest bullet even seeming to just disappear , but what was going to go to free air collided with a large wall of very fat earth , which the impact made him vomit large amounts of blood .
and there was pike which had the semblance of creating and absorbing shockwave , that making use of them took out that big rock causing a shockwave underground lifting him up , and with captain Andrew who had the semblance that many would say is a trap , 'multiplication' so I call his semblance as it allowed him to multiply everything , his strength , speed , senses , aura attacks , of course depending on how much duration has his body , because if he puts more than his limit his body will be destroyed little by little .
Now if annoyed qrow stands up , and thinks that he no longer needs to restrict himself and will teach them the true power of level 5 .
"Cough! Cough! You guys are strong! But it's not time for games anymore! I'm going for real now! So pull out everything you've got because I'm going to give you the beating of your life!"
"never mind we don't use everything we have either so get ready too!" replied the APML team captain fearlessly with all his team in agreement , as this battle also serves to de-stress and bring out everything they have with no worries.
"well then to round two" with his semblance activating making the forest a scary one as it has a lot of negativity and misfortune , with the APML side with their pressure and aura to the max also responding .
And they set out to fight to their heart's content, this battle being one of many to come in the future that will change the entire structure of the continents.
And not only here but also in various areas throughout the kingdoms there are battles just like this one.
