Ozpin's gaze lingered on Arthur for a long moment, the initial shock giving way to a weary acceptance.
The sheer power he had just witnessed left no room for doubt.
He was not a Grimm, nor a creation of Salem's twisted magic.
He was something else entirely, something primordial.
The subtle shift in his aura, the slight tremor in his hand, were the only outward signs of his inner turmoil.
He had no choice but to accept that Arthur wasn't a spy sent by Salem.
Glynda, still pale but with a newfound spark in her eyes, felt a strange lightness replace the crushing despair.
The revelation of Salem's immortality had been a devastating blow, but the sight of Arthur's true form, and his confident assertion that he could break the curse, offered a fragile, yet potent, glimmer of hope. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel-fire.net
Someone powerful was on their side, someone who understood the true nature of the fight.
"Are you... a Faunus?"
Glynda asked, her voice softer than usual, a flicker of curiosity replacing her earlier fury.
Arthur nodded and smile.
Ozpin cleared his throat, pushing past the lingering feeling.
"Arthur," he began, his voice regaining its usual calm, "given what you've just shown us, and your… unique understanding of the world, I must ask: what exactly do you intend to do as a professor here?"
Arthur's smile widened, a glint in his eyes that Ozpin couldn't quite decipher.
"My role will be twofold, Ozpin. For Team RWBY and Team JNPR, I will teach them true magic. Not the limited semblances they've been taught, but the raw, unbridled power that lies dormant within all of us."
Ozpin didn't say anything about how he knew which team would be formed but asking about it seem stupid as Arthur was a dragon.
He might have a magic that let him see the future.
Glynda gasped, her eyes widening further. Ozpin, however, merely hummed, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"And for the other teams?" Ozpin prompted.
"For them," Arthur continued, his tone shifting to a more serious note.
"I will teach real-life combat. Not just against Grimm, but against humans as well. The kind of fighting that prepares them for the brutal realities of the world outside these walls."
A heavy silence descended upon the office.
Both Glynda and Ozpin understood the unspoken implication of Arthur's words.
They had always known that the fight for Remnant wasn't solely against the monstrous Grimm.
The insidious influence of Salem, the manipulative plots of human factions, and the pervasive darkness that festered in the hearts of men meant that their students would eventually have to face more than just soulless beasts.
They would have to fight other humans, sometimes even their own kind.
Arthur's candid approach, though jarring, was a stark reminder of the grim truth they had long tried to protect their students from. The time for shielding them was over.
"I understand. We shall proceed with giving you classes."
The initiation proceeded exactly as it had in canon. Students were launched from cliffs into the Emerald Forest, tasked with retrieving relics from the Grimm-infested ruins.
Teams were formed by the first pair of eyes they made contact with.
Jaune Arc stumbled through the forest, a magnet for trouble, and found himself partnered with Pyrrha Nikos.
Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee, despite their initial friction, formed their uneasy alliance, soon to be joined by Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long.
They formed RWBY team.
Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie, their bond already deeply rooted, moved with an almost telepathic coordination, their shared history evident in every practiced movement.
Their pursuit of relics led them to join Jaune and Pyrrha, officially forming Team JNPR.
The four teams, now complete, made their way to the cliffside temple.
