The Salvager goes to Beacon Academy

In a wide space of the ocean a boat is floating while being hold in place by an archer, the scene moves down to the sea being all water with fishes swimming around and a shadowy figure is swimming to a large metal-like container looking to see if it's safe to move it. Once he finishes checking the box he connected to the hook and push a button that makes the line rising up bringing the container to the suffer along with the diver.

Back on the surface, the container and the box rise up from the water by the crane and moves them to the dock gentle settling it down and the diver jumps off. The figure's diving suite is a buff-looking blue suite with some brown color on the gloves, kneepads, and boots. The diver took off his helmet revealing himself to be a young boy seem to be 15-years-old.

The boy has brown hair and gold eyes. He takes off some the suite leaving it to be lighter on the armory and look strong for a young teenager.

"Alright, let see what we got here." The boy said, looking at the container seeing if there's a way to open it as it looks to be old but still looks well together.

The boy finished inspecting it and went off to get a crowbar as he saw a small opening and jam it into the opening, using most of his strength to pull the crowbar until the container burst open releasing some dusts and saw some old equipment and tech inside.

"Wow, we got quite a load, bet this will get me some big money today." The boy said.

Then suddenly something burst out of the container surprising the boy as he manages to get out of the way in time, he is shocked to see a large black crab with white bone-structure armor and vicious red eyes as it screaks.

"A Grimm! You must've been there for quite a long time, sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to get off my ship." The boy said, bringing out his sword.

The Grimm Crab charges at the boy thrust its claw at him, he blocks the attack with the side of his sword only to be push back for a few inches though still retain his ground and pushes it away then swings his blade on the Grimm pushing it back. The Grimm-Crab get angry as started a rapid attack of his claws and Rex parry them away then counter attacks with some slashes and a strong kick to the face. The boy didn't stop his attack by swinging his sword upward forcing it to raise exposing its bottom side and he slashes at the monster crab forcing it to fall on his back, the Grimm struggles to flip itself to get back on its legs though it was too late when Rex jumps above it and impale his sword through the belly and drag it through. The Crab-Grimm struggle its body for an instant and all its limps drop to the floor becoming lifeless, the boy got off the Grimm before its body began to disintegrate into dust being blown in the wind.

"Phew, that was a close one, hopefully there aren't any others like that one." The boy checked the box, seeing as there are only old stuff and no Grimm anywhere.

"Good, now is time to get going and trade these in." The boy said to himself as he got to the driver seat and started the boat heading back to land.

He made his way to a docking bay at the coast of the kingdom Vale where other boats and their sailors are either getting ready to go sailing in the sea, hanging out at the dock for some relaxing time, or making preparations to head out.

"Hey look, it's the Salvage Kid, Rex!" One of the sailors announced.

"Rex, how was today's hunt?" Another sailor asked.

"Pretty good, had a little 'crabby' problem but I took care of it." The boy now known as Rex answered as he jumps off the boat.

"You sure been working hard, don't you ever have something else to do than just Salvaging?" A rough-looking man asked.

"Well, I've always thought about being a Huntsman, but you know how expensive those Huntsman schools are." Rex said, bringing in a cart and putting the large container in.

"Yeah, well, you've been getting some good payment over the years, you must've saved up for that." A sailor girl said.

"Nah, it's fine, this job is pretty good for me, beside who's gonna take care of gramps?" Rex asked as he moves the cart with the container to the dealer trade.

"Haha, I'm sure that old goat can take care of him even with you not around." An old man commented.

Rex just laughs it off saying that his grandpa is still having trouble with some things, as he walks on he's been thinking that it would be nice to go to a Huntsmen school like his gramps did when he was younger training to be the best and fighting off Grimm and other bad people to save lives, it was something Rex wanted to do whenever he ear those stories to follow in his footsteps. However, gramps hasn't been feeling well for a few years and he is afraid to lose him since he is the only family he has left, his parents died when he was two-years-old. They died by a Grimm attack when they were going home from work, he knows that gramps has been doing everything he can to take care of the young boy and now Rex is the one taking care of him.

Right now, salvaging for old parts and trading them for money is the best way he can do for his gramps and another reason why he goes into Salvaging for the money.

(Dealer Trade)

"What, that's it?" Rex asked the trade woman.

"Is life, my dear boy. This is still more than I give to others." The Trade woman said, she looks over to her right seeing some Huntsmen talking to each other.

"You know, if you could bring some old military weapons you could get more." The woman suggested.

"I already told you, I don't do business with that involves the military." Rex said.

"Such a shame, you're a talented salvage at such a young age." The woman commented.

"Let just say my gramps gave me a warning about Atlas, anyway I'll take the offer. 400 Lien for me and you know what to do with the rest, right?" Rex asked.

"Yes, sending money to… Fonsett Village in Mistral. Correct?" The trade woman asked, wanting to make sure.

"That's right." Rex answered.

"Is such a wonderful thing to send money to your hometown to help, I wish my idiot of a son would do something like that for me." The woman sighed.

"Well, I'll be counting on you." Rex said before walking away.

"Pleasure doing business with you." The woman said.

"Hmm, I think I'm done for today, time to head back home." Rex said to himself, thinking it was time to relax for the rest of the day and check on gramps.

Rex ran off to the parking lot where his motorbike, he hops on and starts the engine.

"At least I can still ride this from home to work, until I can get myself a license when I'm older." Rex stated.

He rides off into the road heading for home.

(Rex's House)

The house where Rex and his grandfather lives is a small house with two bedrooms and one bathroom, a kitchen and a living room, the area around them is large almost like a small farm with a mailbox standing at the front gate and a garage.

Rex drove to the mailbox checking the mail like always, seeing some being bills and other things such as coupons for a discount at a store. He starts walking to the house while pushing the bike and carrying the mail under his arms, then he notices a black car parked in front of the house.

"Odd, gramps drive cars well like he used to, so it must mean he has a visitor." Rex guessed, heading to the front door as he leaves the bike on the stairs.

"Hey gramps, I'm home!" Rex announced walking inside.

"In the living room, I have a surprise for you!" An old man voice called out.

Rex headed toward the living room as he put the mail on the counter of the kitchen, he enters seeing two men sitting as one is sitting on the couch and the other sitting on a chair.

One man seems to be a middle-aged man with tousled silver hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. Interestingly, he has black eyebrows, suggesting that he may have had black hair when he was younger. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a dark green, buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. He also carries a cane in his hands

The other is Rex's grandfather, Azurda, he has white hair with a slightly green color on the tip and yellow eyes. He wears a white coat with purple lines and green pants.

"Rex, just in time, there's an old friend I want you to meet." Azurda said, gesturing toward the man.

"Pleasure to finally meet you, Azurda has been telling a lot about you, I'm Ozpin." The man said, offering his hand of friendship.

"Wow, we rarely get any visitors out here. You must be a good friend of gramps." Rex said, shaking the man's hand.

"Yes, you say he was my teacher back when I was younger." The man mentioned, looking back at Azurda with a smile.

"Yes, he was a young prodigy more than anyone in the world has seen and now he's a Headmaster of Beacon Academy." Azurda said proudly.

"Beacon Academy, as in one of the four main Huntsmen school in Remnant?" Rex asked, surprise that his grandpa knew such important people.

"That's right, I make sure to help train the next generations of strong Huntsmen and Huntress, so they can defend the lives of innocent from the creatures of the Grimm." Ozpin explained.

"Oh, I know that much, I've been holding on my own whenever those Grimm tries to sneak into my boat." Rex mentioned.

"You got attacked by a Grimm today?" Azurda asked.

"Yeah, three time this week, but it was only one and I took care of it." Rex said.

"That's a little worry some, almost like the time you fended off against three Beowulf in the forest last month." Azurda worried.

"Don't worry gramps, you trained me to fight off those monsters I won't go down that easily." Rex smirked.

"You still need to be caution, the Grimm are getting more dangerous as time passes and I fear that something big is going to happen." Azurda said with a serious expression.

"Yes, they are getting stronger and some new ones appearing making it more difficult even for some of the best Hunters to deal with." Ozpin concurred.

"That's going to be tough, I wish there was something I can do." Rex said, wanting to know if there's something he can do.

Azurda and Ozpin look at each other like they are speaking with their minds, Azurda nodded knowing that the time has come and hopes that Rex will accept this.

"Funny you should mention that as to the very reason why I'm here." Ozpin said.

"Huh, isn't it to visit gramps?" Rex asked, he look at Azurda getting the strange feeling that something is going on here.

"Rex… I asked Ozpin to come here in person to get you enroll to Beacon Academy." Azurda revealed his intention.

"Wh-what?! Me going to Beacon Academy, are you crazy?" Rex asked shock that his own grandfather would do something behind his back.

"Rex, when I started training you, I knew that you have the potential to become a strong huntsman one day, you even said it yourself that you wanted to become one." Azurda recalled the days he trained Rex in combat and locking his aura.

"I know, gramps, but I couldn't just up and leave you, not in the condition you're in." Rex said.

"He truly is a kind boy." Ozpin complimented.

"That he is." Azurda nodded and turn back at Rex.

"Now, listen here young man, the arrangements have already been made and the new school year at Beacon will begin next week. I'm sorry for not telling you about this, but I want you to live your own life and go out to see the world." Azurda said.

"But…" Rex felt like he's been just put into a tight spot feeling like he isn't given a choice in the matter.

"I know you worry for me, but I promise I always be with you in your heart no matter what and you will make wonderful friends along the way, so I know you won't be alone." Azurda assured as he taps a finger on Rex's chest where the heart is.

"But I'm 15, shouldn't I be 17 to get in?" Rex asked.

"I'll make this an exception like I did with another who will join Beacon two-years early." Ozpin answered, shocking the young boy.

Rex knew that Azurda just want what's best for him and knows that whenever Azurda get his mind into something nothing will change his mind until he sees it through to the end, this happens a lot over the years they've been living together.

"You really thought this through, haven't you?" Rex chuckled, knowing when he is beaten.

"Alright, you win, gramps. I'll go to Beacon Academy." Rex accepted the offer.

Azurda and Ozpin smiles knowing that Rex has made the right choice and will see things differently than he thoughts.

(One Week Later)

"Well, here I am, heading for Beacon Academy." Rex said to himself, looking out the window of the Bullhead he is currently on with the other young teens also going to Beacon as First-years.

"Sheesh, I can't believe gramps is making me go through this and I was enjoying the life of a Salvager too." Rex complained, not that it would do him any good right now.

"Well, I guess it would be a great start of an adventure and maybe being a Huntsman would help me with the money problem too." Rex said, looking at the bright side of the situation as he looks on ahead to see the large castle-like building that is Beacon Academy.
