Chapter 5 - The Meeting 1

So after Peach told me where I was, I did what any normal person would do being put in that kind of situation. I passed out on the spot and considering there was a solid floor below me, it wasn't exactly the most painless fall. I couldn't believe it, this is impossible! How can I be in the world of Remnant!?

She said that I was asleep for four days. It couldn't have been that long, it felt like four hours in the void. So many questions were going through my mind right now. How did I get here? Why am I here? Why am I not dead? It was all so confusing.

Wait, this is all just a dream! Yeah, the second I wake up, I'll be back in my room, back home!

I was desperately trying to make sense of the situation at hand… oh who am I kidding, none of this makes any sense!

Okay Haruto, the second you open your eyes you're going to be right back at home.

I could feel myself slowly start to regain consciousness.

Okay Haruto, you're going to wake up, be in your room and—

You're back in the hospital room. I don't get it, how is this possible? How—

Though the sound of a familiar female voice brought me back to reality.

"Oh, I see you're awake again, you were asleep for a whole day, young man." Peach said in a delighted tone. I slowly got up and began to look at my surroundings.

Yep, still in the hospital.

"You gave us quite the scare there young man. It's not everyday we find someone as young as yourself right outside our doors you know?" Peach asked.

"Outside your doors?" I asked.

"So you don't remember, shame, Ozpin was planning on asking you a couple of things before he decided what to do with you." She said.

Okay I know that isn't her intention but she makes it sound like he wants to kill me.

"You should be excited young man. It's not everyday that someone gets the opportunity to speak with the headmaster personally." Peach said.

I'm just shocked that I'm going to speak to him period. I didn't even think he existed until now!

"Okay, I guess I'll just head on over to the—" I began, only as I moved the blankets off of my body, I could see that I was only in my underwear at the time.

"Uh… w-where are my clothes?" I asked.

"Well, I couldn't exactly do an operation with your cloths in the way." Peach said.

"O-Operation?!" I asked.

"Oh! Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you. You're perfectly healthy." She said.

"Oh, okay. Whew." I sighed in relief.

"Though before you head on over, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions." Peach said as she pulled out a clip board.

"Okay sure." I said.

"Splendid." She said, clicking the pen she had in her hand.

"Okay, first things first, your name?" Peach asked.

"Names Haruto Harlaown." I greeted.

"Haruto Harlaown… okay, what about your age? You can't be any older than eighteen." She said.

"Well, I'm about sixteen years old." I said.

"Sixteen. Alright then, how about height?" Peach asked.

"You didn't measure me while I was sleeping?" I asked.

"Well I could be but you kept slouching so it was kind of hard." She said.

"Fair enough. I'm five six." I said.

"Really? At your age? Strange, perhaps your growth is stunted." Peach said.

"Hey! It's a perfectly good height!" I yelled.

"Anyways, have you done any drugs?" She asked.

"You mean medical or the ones people think are cool but really aren't?" I asked.

"Last one." Peach said.

"No." I said.

"Any alcohol?" She asked.

"Well I did this one time when I was ten but I didn't really know what it was until I was actually told." I said.

"... I'll just put down other." Peach said.

"Okay." I said.

"Place of origin." She asked.

I was about to tell her the United State of America, though that wouldn't really work here in Remnant now would it?

"Outside of the kingdoms." I said.

"Hmm… okay, have you been engaging in any sexual activity?" Peach asked.

"... Yeah, totally. I was quite the stud where I came from." I lied with a cocky smirk on my face.

"... So no, okay." She said.

"Wha-?! Hey!" I yelled.

"Okay just do a little bit of this and..." Peach said, doing the finishing touches to her paper.

"Okay, that about does it, well it's a pleasure to formally meet you, Mr. Harlaown." She said as she extended her arm out to shake my hand. I was still in slight shock by the fact that I'm in the world of Remnant that I didn't notice that she was trying to shake my hand.

"O-Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something. Yeah, it's nice to meet you," I said as I shook her hand. When I came into contact with her hand, I felt a strange wave of energy flowing through it. Not expecting the sudden energy I jerked my hand away from her.

"Are you sure everything is alright, Mr. Harlaown?" Peach asked in a concerned and slightly surprised tone.

"Yeah, everything's alright, it's just surprising, it's not every day you just wake up at the famous Beacon Academy. " I said trying to change the subject. I started to think back, trying to see if I could figure out how I got here in the first place.

So I was walking home until I heard the sirens go off from the town's hall. I attempted to look for my family to see if they were alright, though along the way I ran into a little girl named Naruko.

I decided to help her find her mother, something I still don't know whether or not she did or not. We came to the elevator leading to the underground vaults that were probably designed by someone who played Fallout or something.

There was only one charge left and so being the better man, I decided to send her down. Unfortunately that would leave me to fall victim to the war heads.

Except I didn't for some reason. If I did then I wouldn't be here now.

This isn't a dream, I've gathered that much, so how the hell did I come back to life, and then wind up in a fictional world?

This doesn't make any sense, none of this should even be possible.

I mean sure there were theories of other universes and all but coming back to life, even the greatest scientists of all time agree that it's not possible, especially after an explosion from a nuclear warhead.

My thoughts were cut off at the sound of Peach's voice.

"Yes, it can be quite the shock. Anyways, there is someone who would like to see you, he asked me to take you to him the second you were feeling better." Peach said as she pulled out a pair of clothes from the dresser right below the window.

"Here are your clothes. When you're done I will wait for you outside, then we can go." She said as she stepped out of the room. I began to change out of the hospital gown and into my clothes.

Once I knew she was gone, I took this chance to go into the bathroom to splash water on my face.

"Geez, this has been one hell of a Thursday." I said.

I changed into my clothes and walked out of the door along with Professor Peach.
