Adam's Redemption

The Initiation

I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my OCs.

Adam woke up at 5:00 AM, his standard time he would normally wake. He went to the locker room and dressed in the clothes Blake and him bought. He didn't like the fact that it was a trench coat, but it was comfortable and had his symbol on the back so he couldn't complain. He walked to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. This had confused the chefs because they had never seen someone up this early, but they served him nonetheless. After eating some food, Adam went back to the ballroom to find everyone was just waking up. Adam saw everyone looking at him in confusion. He wondered why they were.

"Hey Adam!" Adam heard Ruby. He turned to see her and Yang walking towards him. "Ruby." Adam said tilting downward a little as a greeting. "Why are you already dressed? You woke up at the about the same time as us, right? Yang said. Adam scoffed about that assumption. "No I wake up at five." "WAIT! Five, as in the morning? What normal person is up at that time?" Yang was not a morning person, he guessed. "obviously not you." Adam taunted. "Oh you wanna go, Capra?" Yang challenged Adam. "No, not right now. Anyway, we have an initiation to attend. I wouldn't throw away our chances of getting into this academy. Besides, we'll have a combat class where we can spar together, if we pass initiation." Adam watched Yang's grin go away. "Oh. I forgot about that." "I hope the two of you pass initiation. I also wouldn't mind being on your team." Adam only said that last part because anything was better than the Schnee. He walked off.

Adam was on one of the stone pads with the beacon academy symbol engraved in it that they had told him to stand on. He was wondering what was taking everyone else so long. 'It can't be that hard to get your equipment." Adam thought. Since everyone was taking so long, he decided to practice his chosen style of fighting, Iaido. He first started with a horizontal slash from his left side first followed by a downward one. He then shifted his foot to the side a little and rotated and slashed downward. Soon he was a flash of red and black, slicing air. He stopped lightly panting. "That was splendid, young man." Adam wheeled around to see the academy's headmaster, Ozpin. "Hmph, it was nothing special." Adam obviously knew he's seen better. "Maybe so, mr. Capra. But that was impressive to watch all the same." Ozpin replied. Adam, however, is more concerned about something else other than his fighting skill. "May I know when we are starting?" "It's about to begin mr. Capra. I'm sure you can hold your breath a few seconds longer." Adam could "hold his breath" a few seconds longer as the headmaster put it. He's waited this long, hasn't he? Adam nodded his head towards the headmaster as a thank you. The headmaster nodded back.

A few minutes later, everyone was lined up. Adam watched the headmaster give them instructions. "You will be catapulted into the forest. Once you have landed, you must find a partner. Failure to find a partner will result in expulsion. It's also in your best interest to partner with someone who you work well with. That being said, partnership is determined by eye contact." Adam could've swore he heard glass breaking as Ruby shouted. "WHAT?!" This cracked Adam's world. That meant the chances of being paired with the Schnee just went up. He would be sure to wear a blindfold. "Once you have found a partner, make your way through the northern forest, to the temple. When you're there, you will find a set of relics waiting for you. Grab one, and come back here. We will grade you accordingly. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die." Jaune chuckled nervously. Adam finished tying the blindfold around his eyes. 'Hmm, that's clever mr. Capra. Why didn't my other students think of that?" Ozpin gave credit where credit was due. 'Mr. Capra has a good idea on how to pick his partner.' "Now, are there any questions?" Jaune raised his hand "Umm sir. I-I got a question" Ozpin didn't acknowledge him "Good! Now take your positions." Adam crouched down with his hand on Wilt. "Umm, uh sir, what this catapulting? Are you dropping us in the forest?" 'Oh, you poor fool.' Adam thought. "No. You will be falling." "Oh, I see. Did you hand out parachutes." Adam was launched before he could here the rest.

So, that marks the end of this chapter. Sorry it came out so late. I was on the borderline of doing it and not doing it. Now, I know that Ozpin's lines aren't the same as in the show but I was lazy and didn't look up the episode as a reference. I have nothing else.

So Bye-Bye!
