3rd Person POV

At the cliff

After arriving back at the start, Ichigo hands the relic to Ozpin, who looks satisfied.

Ozpin: "Nice work Ichigo. You pass with flying colors."

Ichigo: "Thanks Oz. So am I going to be on a team or not?"

Ozpin: "Actually, I have a proposition for you. Since you have displayed that amount of skill at such a young age, I was thinking that you could be on a one man team."

Ozpin (thoughts): 'Glynda is not going to like this idea...' he thinks and shudders internally.

Ichigo: "So, I'll just get a dorm room to myself, that the case?"

Ozpin: "Indeed you will."

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Hmm... I never really worked on a team, so this is probably for the best. I invaded the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo with the others, but we pretty much went our separate ways when fighting. We just focused on improving ourselves and not teamwork. It would be nice to have backup, but then again, if I have to use Bankai, my teammates would start asking questions. I also don't really want to get too attached to this place. Then again, if I do, I could just take the Dangai. Yeah, it's for the best if I stayed by myself.' he concludes mentally.

Ichigo: "Sure, I'll take you up on that."

Ozpin looks pleased.

Ozpin: "Excellent. Follow me and I will show you to your room."

The pair heads off in the direction of the school and talk on the way.

Ozpin: "So Ichigo, would you care to indulge your headmaster and tell me what that blue attack was?"

Ichigo: "Ah... That was my Dust attack." he lies.

Ozpin: "Interesting. I've been a Huntsman for many years and I don't believe I've seen an attack quite like that before. The things people come up with."

Ichigo: "Yeah, a friend of mine taught me how. He said it was a technique unique to him." Ichigo says as he remembers Zangetsu teaching him.

Ozpin (thoughts): 'That move of his was extremely destructive. It could easily destroy a large portion of Vale. While I do not believe he'd do that, I should still keep an eye on him.'

After a while, Ichigo and Ozpin arrive at the dorm room.

Ozpin: "This is your room. If you ever need help with anything, ask Team RWBY or JNPR. Team RWBY is just to your right and JNPR is across from them. Classes start tomorrow. I will send you your school outfit and schedule later in the day. By any chance, do you have a scroll?" he asks.

Ichigo: "No, I don't, actually."

Ozpin: "Then I will send you one of those as well." He says as he takes a sip of his hot chocolate. "I would help you more, but I have to file your paperwork and meet an old friend. I wish you a good day, Ichigo." He states as he walks away.

Ichigo: "Alright then. See ya Oz."

He enters the dorm room and closes the door, looking around. He sees the basics: a table, window, wall shelf, a bathroom with the essentials, and a bed. Not only did he have one bed, but three extras.

Ichigo: "Well, at least I have this room all to myself. Guess I should shower."

After his shower

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Shit, now what do I do?' he thinks as he steps out of the shower, drying his hair. 'Still have a couple of hours before nightfall. I should probably take a look around the school.'

Ichigo dries himself off and puts his clothes on before leaving the dorm. First, Ichigo finds the school's cafeteria. At first, he was impressed at the size, but other than that, it was a pretty basic cafeteria. Second, Ichigo explored the inner halls of Beacon Academy.

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Damn, this place is even bigger than I thought. Maybe the founder was trying to compensate for something?' he thinks and chuckles to himself.

Due to Ichigo's unfamiliarity with the school, he gets lost. Fortunately, he was eventually able to figure out where he was going and then headed to where the library was after asking some students. The library was massive. It was probably the largest library Ichigo had ever went to. That's not saying much since he never really went to find libraries in Karakura Town unless he had to research something. Sometimes, he would go to the school's library if he absolutely needed a book, but that one was small. Even the one in Vale is dwarfed by this. They really went all out when designing this school.

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Wonder what the upstairs is like.' He walks upstairs. 'Books everywhere, just like the first floor. And a... a computer! Yes! Finally! Alright, what should I-'

High-Pitched Female Voice: "Yang Xiao Long, prepare your kingdom for battle!"

More Mature Female Voice named Yang: "Bring it on!"

HPFV: "I deploy... the Atlesian Air Fleet!"

Yang: "*gasp*"

HPFV: "Looks like I get to fly right over your Ursai and attack your walls directly! *airplane noises*"

Yang: "You fiend!"

HPFV: "And since Atlas is part of Mantle, my repair time only lasts one turn!" the voice exclaims in triumph.

Yang: "Pretty sneaky sis, but you activated my trap card! Giant Nevermore! If I roll a seven or higher, Fatal Feather will slice your armies in two!"

HPFV: "But, if you roll a six or lower, the Nevermore will turn on your own forces!"

Yang: "That's just a chance I'm willing to take."

The sound of two dice rolling can be heard.

YAng: "HAH!"

HPFV: "NOOOOO, MY FEARLESS SOLDIERS!"

Yang: "Eh, most of them were probably androids."

HPFV: "Goodbye my friends! You will be avenged!"

Yang: "Not until I draw my rewards, which are doubled this round thanks to the Mistral trade route!"

HPFV: "Bah!"

Yang: "Oh? And what's this? The Smugglers of Winds' Path!?"

HPFV: "BAH! BAH I SAY!"

Yang: "Looks like I'm taking two cards from your hands!"

HPFV: "HAVE YOU NO HEART!?"

Yang: "Noooo..."

However... he couldn't really focus with the sound of people screaming their heads off.

Yang: "Well Weiss, it's your turn!"

A third person seems to be playing, apparently named Weiss.

Weiss: "I have... Absolutely no idea what's going on."

Yang: "Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo, which means all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus!"

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Shut up...'

Weiss: "That sounds dumb."

Yang: "See... You've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge- Oh! Oh! Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take her discarded air fleet-"

HPFV: "No..."

Yang: "And put it in your hand!"

Weiss: "Okay...?"

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Shut the hell up.'

Yang: "And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance boost against natural hazards, you could use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom! Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war."

Weiss: "And that means...?"

HPFV: "You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant!" she cries out in anguish.

Weiss: "*gasp* YES! FEAR THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF MY FORCES! COWER AS THEY PILLAGE YOUR HOMES AND WEEP AS THEY TAKE YOUR CHILDREN FROM YOUR VERY ARM-!"

Ichigo (thoughts): 'SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!' he screams in his mind while angrily gripping the desk.

Yang: "Trap card."

Weiss: "Huh?"

Yang: "Your armies have been destroyed."

Weiss: "I hate this game of emotions we play!"

HPFV: "Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!"

Weiss: "Shut up! Don't touch me!"

Yang: "Alright Blake, your-"

Ichigo's had enough.

Ichigo: "HEY! CAN YOU-" He stops when he recognizes all four people sitting at the table. "Wait, I remember all of you from the docks." he states as the red hooded girl is in front of him, seemingly forgetting her sour mood.

Ruby: "OH MY GOSH! HI! My name is Ruby!" She's the owner that the high-pitched voice it seems. Knew she sounded familiar. "We met a couple of days aho at the docks! Anyway... Can I see your sword!? How did you do that massive explosion!? Is teleportation your semblance!? What else can you do!? By the way I'm-" Ruby was cut off when the blonde quickly appeared next to her and covered her mouth with her hand.

Yang: "Ruby!" she said as she took her hand from her mouth. Ruby now looks embarrassed. "Sorry about her. Anyway, my name is Yang, and this is my little sister, Ruby." She pats Ruby on the head.

Yang (thoughts): 'I feel the strangest sense of Déjà vu. Probably my imagination.'

Ruby: "Yang!" she exclaims in protest as she tries to sway Yang's hand away from her head.

Ichigo tilts his head in confusion, but then smiles.

Ichigo (thoughts): 'They remind me of Yuzu.'

Ichigo: "Ichigo Kurosaki. Sorry to disturb you, but can you please quiet down?" he asks.

Ruby's face now matched the color of her cape.

Ruby: "Oops... Sorry about that... We didn't mean to upset you."

Ichigo: "*sigh* It's alright. Don't get sad all of a sudden."

Ruby then smiles and remembers.

Ruby: "Oh my gosh! You don't even know what happened at the docks, do you!?"

Ichigo: "Actually, Sun ex-"

Ruby: "Ok, here's what happened."

One Long Explanation Later

Ichigo: "I see..." he says, letting them explain instead of stopping them. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." he says while looking in Blake's direction.

Blake: "Thanks." she replies with a smile.

Suddenly, Weiss gets out of her chair and approaches Ichigo.

Weiss: "Ichigo, was it? My name is Weiss Schnee, as Ruby and Yang said. Back to what Ruby was saying earlier, I am curious as to how you created that explosion."

She moves to closer to him to probe him for information.

Ichigo: "That was Dust." he replied.

...

...

...

Weiss: "Really."

She doesn't look like she's buying it. Either that or such an attack has never been heard of. Even Ozpin gave off that impression.

Ichigo: "What? Something wrong?" He's trying to keep up the façade.

Weiss: "No, nothing is wrong. I am just curious how you were able to create that huge explosion with no large amount of Dust. I am very curious." She emphasized the 'very' in her sentence.

Ichigo: "Sorry, no telling."

Weiss: "We will see about that."

She was already thinking how she might be able to acquire this knowledge.

Ichigo: "Wait... you mean you were watching me through my initiation?" he asks, a little taken aback by this information.

Yang: "Yeah, Goodwitch said anybody could watch your progress in the auditorium."

As she says this, she crosses her arms under her breasts, pushing them up to emphasize them. However, Ichigo didn't notice.

Ichigo: "H-How many people were there?" he asks, fearing the answer.

Weiss: "Not many." Ichigo felt relieved, until... "But there is this video."

She took out her scroll and shows him the video of him performing his nameless Getsuga.

Ichigo: "How many view?" he cautiously asks.

Weiss: "Fifty thousand so far."

...

...

Ichigo: "Great, unwanted attention."

Weiss: "What, you don't like attention?"

Ichigo: "Not really." he simply put.

Ruby: "ANYWAY, Ichigo! Can you tell me how your clothes look like they're glowing?" she asked with an excited face.

Weiss: "I was wondering the same thing, actually."

Ichigo panicked but didn't let it show. Thank to his research, he came up with an acceptable excuse.

Ichigo: "Dust infused."

Weiss: "Interesting... So you rely on Dust rather heavily?" she said with a calculating gaze.

Ichigo: "You could say that."

Two new people started walking towards them.

Sun: "Hey! Ichigo! I didn't think I'd find you here!" he shouts as he approaches.

Ichigo: "Sun? What are you doing here?"

Sun: "I thought since you and Blake go here, I think I could chill with you guys for today. Didn't expect to see you both here at the same time though. I saw the video so that's how I know. Remind me never to fight you. Anyway, I brought my buddy Neptune with me!" he replied as he gestured towards the guy beside him.

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Blue hair? Everyone in this world has strange colors. Then again, I can't really complain since my hair used to be orange.'

Neptune: "Sup."

Yang's POV

While everyone was talking with each other, Yang was in her own world.

Yang (thoughts): 'He didn't notice my breasts!? Impossible! How!? Is he that oblivious to them? Or is it that he's seen much bigger ones than my own!? I was just doing it to see how he would react. I wasn't planning him not to notice them at all! Well, he is kinda hot- No! Bad Yang! He's related to you! You can't suck him dry like a water bottle on a hot day! He face looks nice though. I noticed when he smiled at us earlier. NO! You can't want him to plow your fields! I could kiss- NOOO! What did I just say!? You can't do that! He's your cousin! Yeah, but doesn't look too much like Qrow other than the hair and eyes and they do you let you marry a cousin if- NOOOOOOOOOOO! Stop. Thinking! You'll just somehow convince yourself somehow! I wonder if he has-'

Ruby: "Yang? Are you okay? You're just kinda... staring off into space." She says as she waves her hands in front of her sister's face, cutting her off from her incestuous thoughts.

Yang: "Huh? Y-Yeah, sorry about that."

Back to Ichigo's POV

Ichigo: "Well, I should be going. I wanted to read since this is a library and the only reason I came here was to ask if you guys could keep quiet." He says as he starts turning away.

Ruby: "Come on Ichigo! Let's hang out for today! Pleeeaaase!?"

Ruby has a kawaii, puppy dog face on. Ichigo struggles against this type of face. He's faced this numerous times with Yuzu. Just like those times, he fails to resist it.

Ichigo: "*sigh* Alright, I'll hang out with you guys."

Ruby: "YAY!"

She's like a little kid, isn't she?

Blake: "Actually, I think I'll sit this one out." She says as she leaves.

Everyone looks puzzled by this, but they just wave it off, all except for Sun who seemed a little sad, but he quickly covers it up.

Ichigo: "Anyway, who this?"

He points to the two red-headed girls, the blonde guy, and the black-haired guy.

Ruby: "Oh! That's JNPR! Let me introduce you to them!"

She drags Ichigo to them and he spends the rest of the day with Team RWY, JNPR, Sun, and Neptune.

Later

Ichigo (thoughts): 'What a day. Didn't think I'd have to deal with that in this world.'

Flashback

Ren: "Hmm... Ichigo. I've been wondering."

Ichigo: "Yeah Ren?"

Ren: "You don't look like a strawberry."

Pyrrha: "What do you mean, Ren?"

Ren: "That's what his name means."

Ichigo: "IT MEANS ONE WHO PROTECTS!"

Back to Present

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Thanks to Ruby dragging me all over the place, I'm beat.'

Ichigo enters his dorm and prepares to fall asleep when he notices something odd.

Ichigo (thoughts): 'That's strange... Why do I feel someone below the school? And why does that person's Reishi feel... broken? Like it's missing. I can barely feel them too. Just barely. If I wasn't paying attention, I would have missed it. I should ask Ozpin tomorrow. Or not... I don't know the world enough to figure out what is strange and what is normal. Maybe there's a basement or something to the school.' He thinks as he goes to sleep.

3rd Person POV

The Next Day

The next day, Ichigo goes to his first class, Dr. Oobleck's history class. Ichigo quickly finds out that she's able to talk rapidly without taking in breaths, probably due to the coffee she always has.

(A/N Yes, in this story Oobleck's a woman)

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Why do I always find the strangest people?' he questions himself.

The next class was Goodwitch's sparring class. Ichigo really wasn't paying attention to the class when all of a sudden...

Glynda: "Ichigo Kurosaki and Cardin Winchester! Please come to the sparring arena." she shouts.

He looked at Cardin and could already tell he could win without using his sword. Since that was the case, Ichigo just Flash Steps to the arena without grabbing it.

Glynda: "Ichigo, why aren't you grabbing your gear?" she questions.

Ichigo: "Won't need it." he replies.

Goodwitch becomes a little annoyed, but she pushes it back.

Glynda (thoughts): 'If he gets hurt, it's on him.'

Cardin: "Yeah? We'll see about that." he arrogantly replies.

Glynda: "Mr. Winchester. Due to Mr. Kurosaki still not being in the school's system, I can't display his Aura, so please try not to hurt him too badly." she asks while staring at her scroll.

Cardin: "Oh sure, Professor. I'll make extra sure not to kill him."

Glynda: "Ready... START!" she exclaims.

As soon as she said that, Cardin charges at Ichigo with his mace held high and swings down as he reaches him. Ichigo expertly side-steps the "attack", making Cardin's mace hit the floor. Cardin picks his mace back up and swings to hit Ichigo across the head. Ichigo merely bends backwards to avoid it.

Glynda's POV

Glynda was a teacher and a Huntress. She has been in many battles and gained experience, so when she found out Qrow had a son, she obviously flipped. However, she knew Qrow's son must have some talent for fighting since he he's been traveling Remnant by himself and just from having Branwen blood. She purposely chose Cardin since he was one of the middle-tier first-year students. She expected Ichigo to at least break a sweat. But this... this is not what she was expecting. Ichigo was merely avoiding all of Cardin's hits like he wasan't even paying attention to him at all. Side-stepping, rolling, dodging all of the attacks. And that's all he was doing. Not fighting back. Not drawing his weapon. That was it.

Even amongst the second and third years, they would have to at least pay attention to him. Ichigo wasn't doing that at all though. Instead, he looked like he was bored. He wasn't even trying. That is something only the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses are able to do, like the teachers of Beacon. That was... unbelievable. How could this student have obtained such a high amount of skill at the age of 15!? Even if he traveled Remnant by himself, could he have gotten this strong!? It would certainly take a strong fighter to survive Remnant by themselves without any backup or a team, but still, it begs the question... Maybe him being on a team by himself wasn't such a bad idea after all.

3rd Person POV

Cardin: "Stop... Moving..." Cardin says as he sluggishly tries to hit him in the chest, only for Ichigo to side-step the attack again.

Cardin, being exhausted from trying to hit Ichigo for the past ten minutes, slowly tries to recover. Ichigo seizes this opportunity. He quickly Flash Steps behind Cardin and puts him in a chokehold.

Ichigo: "Do you yield?" he asks as he squeezes Cardin's neck.

Cardin: "S-S-Scr-" he tries to say as he tries to escape. "Y-Yield! YIELD! I YIELD! LET ME GO!" he screams as he's about to pass out.

Ichigo: "There. Is that all, Glynda?" he says as he unhands Cardin.

Glynda: "W-Winner, Ichigo Kurosaki." she says, taken completely aback.
