Y/n Pov

   As I walked down the hallways of Beacon Academy, I searched for my sister. I found her in the courtyard and it seemed her and her team were trying to decide what kind of mission to pick.

Pyrrha:"But that seems like a lot of Grimm. Even if they just want a confirmation of it's presence we would likely end uo fighting them."

   I heard Pyrrha say before the other girl speak up.

???:"That's why it's PERFECT! We can do the mission, and earn valuable combat experience at the same time!"

   I decided to step in.

Y/n:"On the contrary, you all are first-years. You might think you are ready for such a large amount of grimm, but nothing will prepare you for your first horde."

Pyrrha:"Thank you Y/n! I have been trying to explain to Nora that we just are not ready for such a thing!"

Nora:"Pfft! We're totally ready."

   Gotta say, I admired the confidence in her voice.

Y/n:"Trust me, you aren't. I wasn't ready for my first horde of grimm, and neither are you."

Jaune:"Doesn't it seem a bit condescending to just assume we aren't ready?"

Y/n:"Jaune is it? Listen, when I faced my first horde I was a three time Mistral Tournament Champion. Said to be the best fighter at the time. But when I stared down that horde? The void of black fur and bone white? I froze. Because nothing, and I mean NOTHING! Will prepare you for that."

Jaune:"Y'know what? Yeah, let's listen to the guy with more experience! So what would you recommend?"

   The guy was smart. I'll give him that.

Y/n:"Something simple, close by. Maybe a local farm or something needs a pack of Beowulves cleared out. Because I am sure you could handle more than a few Beowulves, but this is more of an opportunity to take on your first mission. It's an opportunity to get familiar with how things work, to understand the system you are gonna be under."

   They seemed to understand what I was talking about. Your first mission should be an introduction, NOT a way to test yourself or gain personal glory.

Y/n:"That said, if you can find one simple yet challenging as well, all the better. You can't improve if you don't make things harder on yourself after all."

   The other guy on Pyrrha's team spoke up for once.

???:"Nora, what he's saying is that we should prioritize a mission that will allow us to better understand the proper way of doing this, instead of one that will allow us to fight alot of grimm."

Y/n:"See? He gets it. If it is just a fight you want then save that energy for the tournament. Just because you are on my sister's team, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you."

   I said as I turned around to leave.

Y/n:"With that, I shall take my leave. Me and my team still need to decide on a mission ourselves."

Jaune:"Wait! What do you mean "on your sister's team'?"

   Guess I was wrong about him being smart.

Y/n:"Look at the last names numbnuts. You just might find out that your strongest member is my little sister!"

   I called out and continued to walk away. I dialed the number for my teams groupchat on my scroll. I was thinking guard duty for some small village.

Denzel:"Whaddup?"

Hank:"DA FECK YOU CALLIN ABOUT?!"

Sarah:"Ignore him. He's mad I won't buy him ice cream."

   That got a chuckle out of me. Hank loves ice cream. Not so much paying for it though.

Y/n:"Hank, you KNOW you are lactose intolerant. Why do you always want ice cream?"

Hank:"WHAT'S THE BLODDY POINT OF LIVIN IF I CAN'T HAVE SOME FECKIN ICE CREAM?!"

Y/n:"Fair point. Anyway! We need to decide on a mission to take. I was thinking guard duty for a small village a few hundred miles out."

Denzel:"Why not a survey mission? Some construction company is trying to get a place to start building a town and needs the place checked for grimm."

Y/n:"Alright. Sarah? What do you got?"

Sarah:"Got some big hotel asking to check out their alarm system. Reckon we could take a look."

Y/n:"Tempting. Hank?"

Hank:"SOME FECKIN IDIOT SET UP SHOP NEAR A GRIMM BREEDING GROUND AND WANTS EM DEAD!"

   Ow. My fucking ears.

Y/n:"GODDAMMIT HANK! MY FUCKING EARS! JUST FUCKING TEXT IT TO ME!"

   I shouted as I hung up the call. Hopefully he calms down soon. I hate it when he wants ice cream. Either he gets it and spends about three hours in the bathroom, or he doesn't and gets really fucking angry.That said, I'd rather he be angry.

Y/n:"I'm gonna kick Hank in the balls later."

   I said to myself as I approached my dorm, Ready to discuss the mission in person with my team.

Alright! That's that. This chapter was really hard to write for some reason. Also, it's a little bit shorter than usual. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I will see you in the next one!
