Chapter 2: Starting School and Pranks

"Well, that went better than I thought." Ozpin said as he sat behind his desk. After the initiation ceremony was over he, along with Jaune, Summer and Glynda returned to Ozpin's office.

"Sure, it went, because you weren't the one that was called a hobo!" Jaune said in frustration.

"Aren't you overreacting a little?" Summer asked.

"You do know that I read your journal, slash diary, and still remember it in quite the detail. Even if it was from years ago I bet that there are some things that can still be embarrassing." Jaune said making Summer pale and shut up.

"You enjoy tormenting her, don't you?" Glynda asked.

"Yes, yes I do." Jaune said smirking.

"He's like an annoying little brother." Summer said.

"I'm older than you!"

"Not anymore kiddo!" Snickered Summer.

"Whatever you say Grandma." Teased Jaune, smirking when he saw the look on Summer's face.

"I'M NOT THAT OLD!"

"As much as I'm enjoying this, I think we better call it a night." Ozpin said gaining their attention. "This was a long day and we still have another long one tomorrow so we better rest."

"So, where am I staying?" Jaune asked. "Am I getting a deluxe teacher room?"

"Hmm…No." Ozpin said smirking, crushing Jaune's hopes.

"Oh, come on! Don't tell me I have to share a dorm room with three other people! Again!" Whined Jaune.

"Well, as I said before you are now a team leader." Ozpin said.

"Again." Summer added.

"I still don't know how you managed to be one the first time around."

"Hey!"


Dormitories.

"That son of a bitch." Jaune said when he reached the door of his new team's dorm. "He even gave me our old room." He said looking at the door of the room that he once shared with his former team. Looking at the door behind him, he saw the dorm that in the past it belonged to Team STRQ. "I really need a shower." He said to himself before bringing his new scroll to the door and hearing it click open. Walking inside he wasn't surprised to see the members of his new team already asleep. Smiling at the memories that the scene brought him he went to the bathroom, to take his first shower in 19 years.


"You're awake huh?" Jaune said walking out of the bathroom, and walking straight to his bed, managing to get the same bed he used all those years ago, not even looking at the red head in the room that was pretending to be sleeping. Who, once busted, sat up to look at Jaune.

"How did you know?" Pyrrha Nikos asked, looking at her new partner, who for some reason kneeled next to his bed and starting to feel the floor. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for something that will help me go to sleep." Jaune said, still feeling the floor before smirking. "Here it is." He said before removing a floorboard. "It should still be good." He said reaching in to the whole and taking out a dusty bottle. 'Thank you Qrow, you drunk bastard.' Jaune thought with a smirk before removing the cork and laying on his bed. "Want some?" He offered Pyrrha, who was lying in Ozpins old bed.

"No... how did you know that that was there?"

'I can't tell her I put it there almost two decades ago. She'll think I have a few screws loose.' Jaune thought. "An old friend of mine used to live in this dorm, he told me a couple of hiding spots."

"So, what happened back there during the Initiation?" Pyrrha asked looking at Jaune who just drank from the bottle. At first, she thought that he was having a celebratory drink, but, she saw that wasn't someone who was drinking to celebrate, it was more like someone who was drinking to forget and drown his sorrows.

"Nothing much."

"The teachers immediately recognized you. And Ruby and Yang from team RWBY said that they had heard your name but didn't remember where."

"..." Jaune stayed silent, hearing his new partner for the next four years, the first thing he can for sure say about her is that she's clever, for the fact that she knows for certain that something isn't right in this scenario. "You should go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow. And you're probably tired." He said with a small smile when he saw her try to stifle a yawn. "I'll explain things later."

"Aren't you also tired?"

He was probably more tired than everyone in this whole school, but the news that that he basically lost 20 years of his life made him unable to sleep, deciding instead to be stupid and act like Qrow, if you're happy, drink, if you're sad, drink some more, if something happened that changed your life, drink a whole shelf. But since he didn't have a shelf he'd settle for a single bottle. "Not really." Pyrrha immediately knew that that was a lie, but her slowly closing eyelids prevent her from saying anything.

"Alright. Good Night." She said before her head hit the pillow and was out like a light. Looking at that he couldn't help but smile. It reminded him of the times his Team and STRQ spent the whole night talking, playing and laughing, Summer was always the first one to fall asleep, the only reason she didn't wake up with her face full of scribbles was because Raven would beat him up every time she saw him with a marker near Summer. Looking at the shattered moon Jaune took another swig.

'Sometimes I hate having incredible aura reserves. More than halfway through ta bottle and still not even a little bit drunk, and this was one of Qrow's strongest drinks.'


'Oh look, it's the sun.' Jaune thought looking at the rising sun, it would still be about 3 hours until classes started. Grunting Jaune got out of bed and decided to get charged up for a day, it's been a while since he did a morning run, and he could feel his body wanting some stimulation. Getting dressed he decided to go for a run around the campus and see what changed around the school.

As he ran he could barely see any changes, the most was only some technological upgrades here and there, besides that, nothing much. Looking at his scroll he saw that he's been running for almost 2 hours and had to go back to his dorm to get ready. When he reached his dorm, he wasn't surprised to find the rest still asleep, remembering when it was his first day he let it slide and decided to wake them up when he was ready.

When he exited the bathroom, he saw that Pyrrha had just woken, she was now sitting on her bed, half open eyes, a small trickle of drool coming down her chin and her hair a mess to the point where a strand was in her mouth. Seeing this Jaune did his best not to laugh. "Morning." He said gaining her attention.

Hearing someone talk to her Pyrrha looked at Jaune for a while before finally waking up when she realized that it was morning already, she was a mess, discovering this by the hair in her mouth and that Jaune was staring at her in this state. "M-Morning." An embarrassed Pyrrha said.

"You probably want to get ready. I'll wake the others." Jaune said trying not to laugh at Pyrrha trying to compose herself. It reminded him a little of how Glynda would react, that is until she gave up halfway through the first year and just send a death glare at them if they laughed at her.

When Pyrrha entered the bathroom, Jaune stood alone over the beds of his two new team members. If he remembered correctly the girl was Nora and the guy was Ren. Deciding to wake up Ren first, who looked dead because he hasn't moved an inch since last night, on the contrast Nora now had her feet on her pillow, and her head almost falling on the side of the bed. Lifting a hand to wake up the only other male in the room, Jaune nearly had a heart attack with what happened next.

"It's morning!" Nora said loudly jumping out of bed to bely flop on top of Ren, who only groaned in response.

Jaune was speechless as he saw a laughing Nora not moving form her spot as Ren woke up. "Is she always like this in the mornings?"

"Yes."

"Well… At least we can't say we'll have boring time… I guess."

"Hey where's Pyrrha?" Nora asked, after Ren finally convinced her to get out from atop of him.

"She's getting ready for classes." Answered Jaune.

"Aww, do we have to go to classes?" Nora whined.

"Yes Nora."

"But do we need to?" Jaune asked, while Nora nodded in agreement behind him.

"Aren't you supposed to be the team leader?" Ren asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, and as team leader I say we skip classes and instead focus on team bonding, if we're going to be a team for then next four years we need to know each other."

"I don't think that that's a good enough reason to skip classes." Pyrrha said coming out of the bathroom.

"Oh please, I know that Ozpin… I mean, I bet that even Ozpin skipped a couple classes. Besides, what he doesn't know won't hurt him." Jaune said, and on cue his scroll, as well as the other members of his team's, received a message. Looking at it he saw that Ozpin wanted for him and his team to go to his office after school.

"Busted." Nora said looking at her scroll.

"…That dude seriously freaks me out sometimes."


After everyone got ready for the day they were about to leave when they heard a yell from outside the room.

"It's 8:55 you dunce!" When looked outside their room they saw the members of team RWBY run out their room.

"Shouldn't we go after them?" Pyrrha asked.

"Nah." Jaune simply said popping back to their room.

"Jaune!"


"Wow. We ran all the way here and the teacher isn't here yet." Jaune said as he took a seat.

"Sorry I'm late." An older voice was heard and Jaune's eyes immediately widened.

'You got to be kidding me! He's still here?!'

"There was an unexpected occurrence that the teachers had to be informed before classes." The old man said, now standing in front of the class. What Jaune didn't miss was that the professor was staring at him when he said that. "Now, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Professor Peter Port, I'm going to be your Grimm Biology teacher for the next four years."

"It had to be him…" Jaune muttered quietly.

"Everything alright Jaune?" Pyrrha, who was sitting next to him asked.

"This is the most boring teacher in Beacon."

"Did your friend tell you that?" Pyrrha asked, making Jaune's eyes widen.

"Y-yes! That's right, he told me!"

"I'm sure he was exaggerating." Pyrrha said before looking back to the professor to pay attention.

'You poor, poor fool.' Jaune thought before laying his head on his arms, deciding that now was the perfect time for a nap.

Over two hours later.

The sound of yells and cheers awoke Jaune form his sleep. Looking around he saw that Weiss was fighting a Boarbatusk, while Ruby was yelling tips that Weiss was ignoring. "What the hell happened here?"

"Weiss is fighting a Boarbatusk." Nora said.

"I can see that."

"Professor Port asked for a volunteer and Weiss accepted." Pyrrha said.

"Wow, fighting in the very first class."

"See, I told you your friend was exaggerating." Pyrrha said, at this Jaune smirked and turned to Nora.

"Say, Nora, what did you think of the class before this whole fighting thing?"

"Oh, it was boring, I almost fell asleep!" Hearing this Jaune smirked even more and looked at Pyrrha, who was trying to avoid his gaze with an embarrassed blush on her face.

"Class dismissed!" Port said gaining Jaune's attention. When he looked back towards the front of the class he saw Weiss leaving, not even sparing a glance to the rest of her team. 'Don't but in Jaune, they are old enough to hold themselves…' He thought before seeing the downcast look on Ruby's face. 'God fucking Dammit!'


Standing next to a corner in one of the hallways Jaune heard the team leader of team RWBY and her partner. 'Talk about Déjà vu.'

"What did I do?" Ruby asked.

"That's just it! You've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest you acted like a child and you've only continued to do so!"

"Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about working together? I thought you believed in acting as a team!"

"Not a team led by you!" Scoffed Weiss. "I've studied, and trained, and quite frankly, I deserve better.

'Wow, she's bitchy.'

"Ozpin made a mistake." Weiss continued before walking away.

"Well, that was something." Jaune said coming out from the corner. 'At least she didn't insinuate that she was only a leader because Summer convinced Ozpin.'

"Do you think she's right? Did Ozpin make a mistake?" Ruby asked.

"Well, it's still our first day." Jaune said making Ruby look downwards. "But that just means you have 4 years to prove her wrong. Besides, I don't think that Ozpin would do a half-assed job in appointing Team leaders. He saw something in you and thought that you deserved to be a leader."

"But… do you think she'll ever come around the idea of me being the team leader?" Ruby asked.

"Let me tell you a story." Jaune said gaining Ruby's attention. "This happened to a friend of mine who had a similar problem. You see, the team leader… Spring, had just become the leader of her team, and her partner did not like that, saying things like that she was stronger, more experienced, all that crap. But has time passed, Spring proved to be a worthy leader, and about four, maybe five months later, she and her partner were inseparable, which was annoying, cause a friend of mine loved to prank her, and her partner would beat the crap out of him for that, or at least she tried. But anyway, do you get what I'm saying?"

"A little."

"Just give it time Ruby, and you and Weiss will be as close as sisters in no time. Hell, if that doesn't happen by the end of the year I'll do all your homework for the second year." Jaune said, and before he knew, Ruby had grabbed his and was shaking it.

"No take backs!" She said making Jaune laugh.

"I should get going though." Jaune said looking at his scroll and seeing that it was almost time to meet Ozpin. AS he started walking he noticed that Ruby was going in the same direction as him. "Aren't you going back to your dorm?"

"Nope. Professor Ozpin asked me and my team to go visit him after classes for some reason."

'DAMN YOU OZPIN!'


"Ah, Mister Arc. Miss Rose. So good for you to finally show up." Ozpin said from behind his desk, Glynda standing to his right and Summer to his left. The remaining members of team JNPR and RWBY also in the room.

"Should I be worried why you and my daughter came late and arrived together?" Teased Summer, who received an annoyed glare from Jaune and a small one from Ruby, who was trying not to blush in embarrassment.

"W-We were just discussing Team leader related stuff…" Said Ruby.

"Do you mind telling us why all of us are here?" Jaune asked.

Hearing him Ozpin understood the true meaning of his question. What the hell were the others doing here?!

"Everyone here is in a way related to you." Ozpin said, gaining questioned looks from the other seven students.

"In what way?" Jaune asked.

"Well, your team is your team, so they deserve to be aware."

"That makes sense."

"Miss Rose and Miss Xiao Long's reason is a given." Ozpin said receiving a nod from Jaune, and two even more confused looks. "Miss Belladonna- "

"Wait, Belladonna? Is She- "

"Yes." Answered Glynda.

"With- "

"Yup." Answered Summer.

"… I'M A FREAKING GENIOUS!"

"Moving on."

"Sir, if I may ask, why am I here then?" Weiss, the only one who wasn't named yet, so in other words not as confused as the others asked.

"Well, you don't have any relation in this, but we thought it wouldn't be that good of an idea to inform your team minus you." Summer said.

"What?"

"They didn't want you to be left out." Said Jaune.

"WHA?!

"Anyway, back to business. Are they coming?" Jaune asked.

"T, Q and J are entering the tower, R sent me a message that she'll be here in 5 minutes." Summer said.

"Okay!" Jaune said before turning to the other students. "There is only one rule! None of you know me! Don't mention me, and if my name is brought up, don't react!" He said before going to Ozpin's desk and laying his sword on top of it. Looking at the sword Ozpin understood what Jaune was trying to pull. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I'll be hiding!" He said before starting to run towards one of the office pillars.

"Umm. Jaune, what's happening? What are you doing?" Pyrrha couldn't help but ask her partner.

"Easy!" Jaune said, turning towards his partner with a childlike smile on his face. "I'm pulling the prank of the century!" He said before climbing the pillar and hiding behind the many cogwheels that were in Ozpin's office.

"Okay… That was weird." Yang said while she, and the others, looked upwards, even more confused than before. The only thing that snapped them out was the sound of the elevator opening and three men walked out.

"I'm telling you. It's not that bad." One of them said.

"Not that bad?! YOU'RE DRUNK!" The second one said.

"To his defense, he's always drunk." The third one said before looking at the people in the room, noticing that there were students in the room, especially two that he knew very well.

"Hey dad! Hey Uncle Qrow!" Ruby said waving at her father and honorary uncle.

"Yang?! Ruby?! What are you doing here! Don't tell me you already got in trouble!"

"That was fast, even beaten my record." Qrow said taking a swig from his flask.

"Can you not drink in front students!"

"Geez, calm down Ironwood."

"Can someone tell me what's going on?!" Taiyang asked.

"Hey Tai, calm down, they're not in trouble." Summer said.

"Oh, hey there pipsqueak senior." A very drunk Qrow said when he spotted Summer, making said woman gain a tick mark.

Even though no one could see it, Ozpin knew that Jaune was trying not to laugh at the name.

"All right Ozpin, can you tell what was so important that I had to fly straight from Atlas to get here?"

"In a second. There is still someone missing." Ozpin said, and on cue a reddish black portal appeared behind Summer and out of it came a woman wearing a mask.

"Stop doing that!" Yelled Summer when she saw that someone was behind her. "It freaks me out!"

"Doing what? Coming out from behind you or wear the mask?"

"BOTH! That mask is creepy! It gave Ruby nightmares for weeks!"

"No, it didn't!" Ruby yelled.

"Yes, it did." Smirked Yang. "Hey mom."

"… Did you girls already get in trouble?" She asked when she noticed the students, especially Yang and Ruby. "Pay up. Not even a week and already in trouble."

"YOU BETTED ON US?! THEN IT'S ONLY FAIR I GET A SHARE!" Yang yelled at her mother.

"But I earned it fair and square!"

"First, you made the bet Raven, I never agreed to it." Summer said.

"I would bet with Qrow, but he would be too drunk to remember the bet in the first place. Tai would blab about the bet to the kids."

"Hey! I don't blab!"

"Sure, and the kids know how to read minds to know when we try to keep something away from them." Raven simply said.

"And second. You didn't win anything, they're not in trouble."

"Oh." Raven said in a bored tone. "Then why are we here?"

"Ok what the hell is happening?" Weiss quietly asked the other students.

"I don't know, but this keeps getting weirder and weirder." Blake said.

"Weird? This happens at least every other day back home." Yang said while Ruby nodded in agreement.

"… That somehow explains a lot." Weiss said.

"It amazes me how no one notices this thing when it's in plain sight." Ozpin said before turning to Glynda. "Not even you noticed it and were with me the entire time."

"I was preoccupied with something when that happened." Glynda said.

"Can you all look at what's on top of Ozpin's table?" Summer asked and look they did.

"… Alright James… I admit it… I'm super drunk." Qrow said when he saw the sword on top of Ozpins desk.

"And I'm not drunk enough." Ironwood simply said before taking Qrow's flask and drinking himself.

"Is this… a replica?" Taiyang asked his wife.

"Nope. It's the real deal." Summer said before walking closer to the sword and try to lift it, only for it to stay in the table.

"… Where did you find this?" Raven asked in a tone that demanded answers.

"You see, a student took the Initiation with it." Ozpin said shocking the other four adults.

"You mean… another Arc?" Taiyang asked, his eyes never leaving the sword.

"Wasn't he the last Arc?" Qrow asked, his eyes also never leaving the sword, the only thing he was doing was trying to get his flask back from Ironwood.

"I guess not." Ironwood said, trying not to let Qrow take away the flask.

"…" Raven just stood silent while looking intensively at the sword.

"Wait, where did the kid get the sword?" Taiyang asked.

"We haven't asked him. We were waiting for all of you to arrive to ask him. He should be here any second. I just advise you to brace yourselves."

"Brace ourselves for what?" Qrow asked.

*Ding*

The sound of the elevator brought everyone's attention.

"Sorry I'm late professor. I can't seem to find my sword." Jaune said as he stepped out of the elevator, completely shocking the four adults.

"Wait, when did he… how did... what?" Ruby asked looking at the place that Jaune had been hiding before looking back at Jaune.

"Ha, Mister Arc. Your sword is right here. Glynda found it in the bathroom." Ozpin said, hiding his smirk from behind his coffee mug.

'What the hell Ozpin?! Why the bathroom?!' Jaune thought "O-Oh! My bad. What was Miss Goodwitch doing in the man's bathroom?"

"I found it in the girl's bathroom." Glynda said in a serious tone, but Jaune could see the tiny smile that she was trying to hide.

'WHAT THE HELL GLYNDA?!' "U-Ups, I still haven't been here long enough to know where what is."

"Let it be the last time Mister Arc. We will let this one slide like the other four times." Summer said, not even trying to hide her smirk.

'GOD FUCKING DAMMIT SUMMER!' Jaune thought before pretending to notice the others, that still had a speechless look on their faces, for the first time. "There are two Yangs?!

"That's Yang's mother." Summer said after noticing that Raven wasn't going to answer.

"Wow, first Ruby's mom looks just like her then Yang looks just like hers… Makes me wonder if I have the face of some relative." Jaune said with a thoughtful look.

"So… You're an Arc?" Taiyang asked, speaking for the first time since Jaune entered the room.

"Yes."

"And what's your name kid?"

"Jaune Arc." Jaune said, noticing their eyes widen.

"… If you had Junior in your name I'd say you were his illegitimate son. Maybe with that one crazy chick he met once." James said, being him the one to first come out of shock.

"Hey! An Arc doesn't stick his dick in crazy you damn Morning Wood!" Jaune said without thinking, making Summer facepalm, Ozpin sigh and Glynda shake her head.

"Morning… wood?" Raven asked, speaking for the first time since Jaune entered.

"C-Crap! Sorry Mister Ironwood that came out of nowhere!" Jaune said in a timid and embarrassed tone. 'CRAP!'

"You need to learn to respect your elders." Raven said glaring at Jaune.

"I-I'm sorry Miss Raven!"

"Funny, no one mentioned my name before." Raven said making Jaune's eyes widen.

"D-Didn't Miss Rose say it when she said you were Yang's mother?" Jaune said, slight panic in his eyes. 'SHIT!'

"No." Raven simply said before quickly unsheathing her sword and slashing at the air, creating another blackish red portal. Only for another one to appear next to Jaune. Who looked at it with a bored look on his face. And the other adults who looked even more shocked than before, even shocking Raven a little, who managed to open this particular portal for the first time in almost 20 years.

"…You never let me have fun Raven." Jaune simply said.
