Beacon Academy Ozpins office:

Yet again a beautiful sunrise was gracing Beacon Academy, giving a wonderful view down to Vale glistering in the morning light. Surely this view was appreciated by Ozpin and his collegue Glynda Goodwitch but it was pertubed by the fleet of Atlesian Airships hovering over the city of Vale.

"Ironwood certainly loves bringing his work wherever he travels." it was Glynda who said that eliciting a small smirk on Ozpins face.

"Well, running an academy and a military makes him a busy man." he watched as three Bullheads fly in.

"But yes, they are indeed an eyesore."

His scroll beeped showing "Access Requested" on the screen.

"Come in" he accordingly said out loud.

Walking into the room was a man with black hair that has some grey parts. He is wearing a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants share the same color as his overcoat and are tucked into silver boots accented in gray.

"Ozpin!" the man said in a cordial manner while standing a bit straighter as he was adressing Ozping who approached him.

"Hello Ironwood or better...General." he gave a small smile.

"Please no need for the formalities, it is good to see you again Ozpin." he approached and both shared a handshake before he turned to Glynda. "It is nice to see you aswell Professor Goodwitch i hope you integrated well into the role as Vice Headmistress of Beacon."

She gave a nod of acknowledgement.

"I shall leave you two alone." with that she left the room so Ironwood and Ozpin could share a private conversation.

"So, what in the world has brought you all the way down from Atlas? Headmasters don't typically travel with their students, for the Vytal Festival." Ozpin was looking out of the window again while taking a sip from his hot chocolate before turning back to Ironwood.

"Well, you know how much I love Vale this time of the year.Besides, with you hosting, I thought that this might be a good opportunity for us to catch up." Ironwood gave a small smile of his own that was shared by Ozpin.

"I can certainly appreciate the quality time between friends, however, a small fleet outside my window has me concerned." Ozpin placed his mug on his desk as he sat down on his chair.

"Well, concerned is what brought them here." Ironwood looked at his fleet from the window.

"I understand that travel between kingdoms has become increasingly difficult." Ozpin said while Ironwood turned to him again.

"Oz, you and I both know why I brought those men." he looked at him in silence, words weren't needed to say what he wanted to say.

"We are in a time of peace. Shows of power like this are just going to give off the wrong impression." Ozpin was taking a sip from his mug again and pointed at the fleet.

"But if what Qrow said is true..." Ironwood was stopped by Ozpin.

"If what Qrow said is true, then we will handle it tactfully.It's the Vytal Festival. A time to celebrate unity and peace. So I suggest that you not scare people by transporting hundreds of soldiers halfway across the continent."

"I'm just being cautious." that was the instantous reply coming from Ironwood.

"As am I. Which is why we will continue to train the best Huntsmen and Huntresses we can." Ozpin looked at him.

"Believe me, I am. But ask yourself this: Do you honestly believe your children can win a war?" with that Ironwood left the office leaving Ozpin alone at his desk.

"I hope they never have to but if the time comes i am sure that "He" will..."

Beacon Courtyard:

Shirou Emiya was looking at the fleet over Vale after he was finished with his training for the morning. Of course he was worried after seeing the fleet but he quelled the worries and decided to get back to his dorm after all there must be a good reason why that fleet was there.

After having spent the morning with his team mostly with Ruby gushing about his "Semblance" and demanding to see more swords, it now was already afternoon. They were outside looking at all the new transfers from the other Kingdoms for the Vytal Festival, while the girls were talking about the Festival, Shirou on the other was continiously analyzing each weapon his eyes laid sight on. Ahh "Structural Grasp" what a wonderful spell.

Suddenly he was poked in the face by Ruby who had a smug grin on her face which was shared by Weiss and Pyrrha.

"Let me guess you were analyzing all the weapons" Ruby was smirking full force.

"Was i that obvious?" he sighed while he raised his hands into the air.

"Well guilty as charged" he said with a wry smile.

"You better prepare some goodies for the next time you show us some of your weapons again" she laughed at his sigh.

"Now Ruby we can't always use Shirous Semblance just so he can show us some of his weapons." he silently vowed to make Pyrrhas next meal even more delicious as thanks.

"Alright fine." she said as her face was covered with a pout but Shirou on the other hand felt a little bad so he sought out a compromise.

"I could show you at least one more later, since they all carry a long history with them, i don't want to spend all night telling their tales." he said with a smile on his face.

"Shirou you are the best!" with that she gave him a bone-crushing hug not caring in the slightest that Weiss and Pyrrha could see them additionaly a few more students aswell.

While Weiss and Pyrrha were shocked about the reaction coming from their leader, it was Shirou who had to bear with the surprisingly strong hug from the smaller girl.

"R-Ruby please you are crushing me." he said which lead to, that she started to blush madly after realizing just what she was doing right now, on the other hand she may liked the feeling of his lean and firm torso pressing against her body and now she was blushing even more! So she let go of him and zipped a few steps back.

"Uhh...hahaha...sorry Shirou" she tried to play it off as a childish reaction despite her deep blush, that was still resting on her face.

"It is fine really, you just surprised me." he shrugged it off but her face was so red that he started to worry a little.

"How about we go to the training rooms! I wanted to train with you guys for some time already but we didn't get much of a chance." she said and bless the deities her blush had faded.

Weiss chimed in after Ruby elaborated her idea "Yes this is a good idea Ruby, i sure would like to know how far each one of us is already and where we could improve and help each other."

Pyrrha then joined the two with her own thoughts. "I can only support Weiss there, we could do One vs One matches, what do you think Shirou." she then adressed the only one of the team who yet had to make a statement.

"Since you three are already in for the idea the only tging i can do is support it aswell, i too think it is a good idea coming from Ruby but lets decide the matchups now." he laid out the one fact that still needs to be resolved.

Then Ruby suddenly had an idea as she took out a coin. "How about we toss a coin?" her idea was meet with approval as the others nodded.

She nodded. "Alright Weiss Heads or Tails?"

"Tails." that was her descision as Ruby nodded. She tossed the coin and it landed on Heads.

"Pyrrha! Heads or tails?"

"Uhh Heads" Ruby nodded and tossed the coin which landed on Tails.

"Alright since Weiss had chosen Tails and Pyrrha got Tails you two will spar against each other and Shirou will fight against me." she said with a smile on her face.

With that done, they went to the training rooms to get changed into their combat outfits. After a little while they entered the room they booked.

"So who wants to go first?" Ruby spoke up but neither Pyrrha or Weiss would say anything, not including Shirou since he would follow any descision.

"How about you and Shirou go first." Pyrrha suggested much to the delight of Ruby, she seemed to be bouncing from alll the excess energy bundled up inside her.

"Alright that's a plan Shirou is that ok with you?" she turned to her partner who was inspecting the training room.

"I have no problems with that Ruby." he nodded and made his way to the stage, Ruby smiled at Pyrrha and Weiss before zipping onto the stage and giving Shirou a wide grin.

"We will follow the standard rules like in Combat class." she told him while he in return nodded and got into a stance, his hands ready to grip the handles of swords that have yet to appear. In the next moment Ruby deployed Crescent Rose and skillfully twirled it around her before then too getting into a stance.

Weiss and Pyrrha were giving them both their undivided attention.

Shirou was letting his arms hang at his sides leaving him with many openings in his defense of course his partner noticed this but only got confused by that. Right after the timer went off Ruby instantly covered the distance between them using her semblance to achieve such a feat. Normally Shirou would flinch at the sheer speed and panic, indeed Ruby was fast...but she was not a Heroic Spirit especially not a certain Lancer he knew. He fought against supernatural beings, heroes that trascended legends and myths, so the sound of blades clashing against each other was a rather satisfying one to his ears. He saw the pure shock and surprise in the face of his partner who must be trying to comprehend just how he could stop her attack despite the holes in his stance and her superior speed.

Of course he utilised that lapse of concentration to its fullest by batting Crescent Rose to the side with Kanshou so Bakuya could score a clean hit across her chest, right after that he followed with a kick to het gut pushing her away several meters.

Ruby was beyond shocked, she really thought she had this in the bag, well ok she knew Shirou was strong but to be able to react with her speed that was something not many could do...heck he doesn't even look fazed, he still had that indifferent look on his face. Ruby knew that this would be a hard fight but she would give it her everything to win!

She charged at him again this time without the usage of her Semblance. But right before they would let their respective weapons clash again she squeezed the trigger of Crescent Rose and used the momentum from the shot to propel to the side at great speed, she squeezed two more times to fly high into the air before giving it one last squeeze to shot herself downwards like a rocket.

"Hiyaaaa!" she shouted before slamming Crescent Rose down in Shirou who blocked the attack by putting Kanshou and Bakuya into a crossguard meeting her attack head on. This caused the ground to crack under his feet, luckily he reinforced his body enough to withstand the force of that attack.

Quickly much yo her surprise he retaliated with a swift kick into her gut letting her fly through the air before she performed a flip in the air to land on her feet. As she looked up she sees Shirou still at the same spot waiting for her to attack again, her Aura still was in the green currently at 85 percent, she can still win!

Shirou would contemplate about the skill she already showed and he was very much surprised she showed a rather raw talent that he only sees rarely and he had seen people with talent, but she wasnt as talented as Tohsaka that for sure.

He wasn't surprised as she charged him again and swung Crescent Rose in a series of deathly and skilled twirls each able to kill or cripple a normal person if they hadn't their Aura activated...or just the right skill set at their disposal. Kanshou and Bakuya would move his body to their will and each time they would clash with the scythe, letting it never reach their wielder. It was a dance of steel against roses and Steel was winning! It lasted only for about a few seconds but he spotted a glaring hole in the steps of his dance partner and swiftly would parry the next attack with Kanshou and Bakuya in a cross-guard before pushing both of them away resulting in having Crescent Rose being flung in the air with its surprised owner. The next momemt would decide it all so he pivoted on his feet and let his swords do the talk by scoring a series of slashes on her front then having the pommel of Kanshou hitting her temple slamming her to the ground to bounce of it directly and having his elbow planted right in her solar plexus letting all the air escape out of her body and herself fall out of the arena, resulting in a win for him through Ring Out.

"...i lost...aww come on i thought i had this?!" Ruby would lay on her back all the while pouting in an adorable manner until a hand was offered to her by her partner.

"Don't let this discourage yourself you will always encounter someone who is better than you so use this oppurtunity to better yourself." He would pull his partner up and give her a reassuring smile. They were quickly joined by Weiss and Pyrrha.

"That was an impressive display of skill from both of you even though the match found its conclusion rather quick." Weiss would already be in her cold analyzing manner while eying both of them.

"You both were great especially you Shirou you kept your calm during that entire bout, not many can do it as easily as you just displayed and your skill was really intruiging." Pyrrha acknowledged his battle prowess and she could tell that she would likely have been his opponent like Weiss said it was too short of a fight and she really would have seen more.

He nodded at them both with a slightly sheepish smile while Ruby was bouncing with energy.

"All right next time this won't end so quickly i just did a mistake so i will fix that next time we spar Shirou!" Ruby pointed at the red head with a challenging smirk on her face.

"i will take you up on that Ruby." he would nod and she would grin.

"Now i think we still have some time left for you two to duke it out!" She was already excitedly looking at Weiss and Pyrrha.

"Come on i want to see those moves!"

Weiss could only sigh while Pyrrha was showing joy in her giddiness, so the two of them got onto the arena facing each other with their weapons drawn.

"I expect only the best from you Pyrrha Nikos!" Weiss would regally take a stance with Myrtenaster flourished right next her face.

"Right back at you Weiss!" Pyrrha would lower her center with Akujo on chest level and Milo next to her side. Much to Shirous surprise her stance reminded him of spartanian warriors and he somehow got excited for the match.

Right as the timer buzzed the two combatants crossed the distance to let their blades clash...

Beacon Headmasters office

"I see that Mr.Emiya possesses great skill in the art of dual wielding and an impressive mind for the battle." Ozpin would take a sip from his mug while having an mysterious smile on his face after her watched the rather short fight between his new Wildcard and Ruby Rose the last Silver Eyed Warrior. "Wouldn't you agree Glynda?"

"Yes indeed though he already showed great skill in his fight against Mister Winchester in defeating him in under a minute he now showed that there is much more to him than the eye can see and i must say Miss Rose is a very skilled individual and yet he ended the fight in record time." She would look at her scroll analyzing his performance.

"Sadly i cannot grade his performance due to not being in lesson."

This would earn her a chuckle from Ozpin.

"Yes indeed but i am sure we will see much more coming from him since the Vytal Festival is starting soon and transfer students from the other Academies will arrive."

With that said he would watch as Miss Schnee and Miss Nikos would have their own dance on the arena...

Beacon Combat Arena

Weiss was having a hard time and she expected it, the first few exchange were rather even but she realized that Pyrrha was testing her and suddenly went on the offensive disrupting her attacks easily and now she was currently having a rather forced exchange with her and her defense was getting pummeled less to say.

She grunted as Milo scored a hit across her chest and Akujo slammed into her resulting her in being flung away from her opponent. Her Aura was already in the Orange while Pyrrhas was still in the green close to 60 percent.

She flipped onto her feet and flourished her rapier and decided to meet her in stride. So she chargee forward with Pyrrha meeting her halfways. She would stab Myrtenaster forward but it would be slammed away by Akujo. Pyrrha would aim at her with Milo but she managed to put Myrtenaster between her strike resulting them to end up in a stalemate both trying to overpower the other until Pyrrha suddenly let herself fall onto the ground resulting in Weiss stumbling due to the lack of balance gaining herself a devastating haymaker from Pyrrha that send her on the ground and the fanfare would declare Pyrrha as the winner since her Aura was in the red.

"What an amazing skill coming from you as i expected." Weiss would get up and smile at her partner.

"You were great too, your movements with the rapier are not even wasted once and you had me there a few times." She would smile at Weiss.

"Wow you two were so awesome, Weiss was all stabity-stab and Pyrrha was like hyaaa, smash and slash!" Ruby zipped to her teammates with excitement written all over her face. Both contestants could only chuckle at her antics even Weiss cracked a small chuckle.

"What she means is you two were forces that deserve to be reckoned!" it was Shirou who stepped up next to his chattery partner.

"Thank you, this coming from you means a lot!" Both would say at the same time much to their surprise letting them laugh again.

"So since this is done we should head back i have to attend a meeting with someone in Vale." Shirou would tell them, he intended to meet up with the servant of the spear to discuss their next moves.

"Ohh wait so that means there will be no dinner made by you?!" It was Ruby who exclaimed her shock with Weiss smacking her head.

"Ruby?!" she would sigh but also feel a little torn of not having Shirous cooking today.

This would only make him chuckle but he should keep his mouth shut to not spoil their surprise.

After they split up at the Beacon docks the three girls would head to the dorms and stop at the living room to hear the oven ringing as soon they entered. When they opened a wonderful aroma of chicken, potatoes and vegetables would hit their nostrils, letting their mouths fill with saliva.

It was Pyrrha who spotted a small piece of paper folded next to the oven.

"I hope you enjoy the food, i made it before our training session since this is an recipe that takes a bit longer it would be the best to have after the sparring sessions."

"I hope you enjoy it, oh and before i forget there is rice in the rice cooker it should still be warm. I am sorry that you have to do the dishes but my meeting is pretty important."

"With that i hope you enjoy your meal!"

Shirou

They would smile and instantly get the dishes ready. The dinner was full of laughs and carefree chatting. Truly they wish for more of those evenings...

Vale

It was already getting late the sun was slowly descending indicating the approaching night to fall upon them soon but Vale was still bustling with life. Our Hero would walk towards the location where his 'friend' would wait for him. It was a fairly simple and small park, normally he would rather have such a meeting in a closed room but he didn't have to worry about that as the bounded field would wash over him and let him pass. After all Lancer even qualified for the Caster class so the two of them could hold their meetings practically anywhere.

"Ohh i am glad you could make it!" The aforementioned individual would wave lazily at his approaching form with a grin on his face. Sometimes he just couldn't understand his carefree nature, maybe because he still has his rank as a Servant and thus is probably the strongest being on Remnant.

"It would be rude to have you wait and this is pretty important and we both know it."

He adressed the servant of the spear who nodded in return.

"Ahh i know the fall of Vale huh."

"Yes we need to prepare against it."

Beacon Hallways

The sound of highheels would echo in the empty halls of beacon academy a trio of 'students' would wander around having a little tour.

"Welcome to Beacon~"

The person who said that would smile while one of her eyes would be encircled with small flames.

While her two other companions one girl with Green colored hair and a boy with grey hair would carry cocky smirks on their faces.
