The ship continues to speed through the distance, whizzing the wind behind it as it traveled quickly into the Eastern parts of Vale city. A young man stood in its viewing hall, looking down upon the cities beneath him that looked like toys created by grand deities. Intricate and delicate. The truth was that it was created by mankind's desire to fight against the Grimm kaijus lurking where the eyes could not see. Were it not for dust, none of this would've been possible.

The airship was steadily moving, so subtle that you couldn't feel the change of velocity. Motion sickness was a thing for the weak and he didn't intend to look weak on his first day. The display system lit itself alight, showing a projection of the Academy's representative speaking through the video feed. "You are among the a privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world, vast and rich in its beauty have lived well and long in both time and peace. Both Hunters and Huntresses alike have been born, raised and trained-- Sacrificing their efforts to uphold the peace and liberty for as long as we know it.

You, new recruits among countless others in this academy have shown the courage and strength. We've chosen you as future Hunters and Huntresses to take on an oath as we train and assist you to becoming a true Hunter and Huntress. We wish you luck." And the feed was stopped.

"Chosen, huh?" He turned to the window once again, to see the Beacon Academy nearing close.

The ship began to take off! Priscilla walked inside and looked around seeing a lot of girls and boys, young, her age and they were on their way to the Academy. It was so cool seeing alot of people going to the academy. It just meant that they were the best out there. Yeah she was going to by shy around new people, but she would have to get used to it. Priscilla turned around seeing a holographic projection. It was like a video.

"You are among the a privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world, vast and rich in its beauty have lived well and long in both time and peace. Both Hunters and Huntresses alike have been born, raised and trained-- Sacrificing their efforts to uphold the peace and liberty for as long as we know it.

Priscilla gave a nervously smile as she turned around and walked towards the window seeing the academy and she got so excited and screamed silently. Yes, she did that. It was so exciting, but then so nerve wrecking.

Victoria leaned against the wall, away from the crowd. She wraped her arms around her chest and stared at her black flats. She tried to work up the nerve to socialize with someone, but every time she did her imagination happily showed her all the social mistakes she could make, and she ended up staying on the wall.
As the video played she listened over the crowd, which was easy since everyone had quieted down.

At the end she snorted and muttered to herself," yeah, courage and strength... "

Jie stood to marvel the view below her. 'Fascinating...' She said quietly, placing her hand on the window, her gaze focusing deeply on beacon. 'Truly a beautiful place...' She added, turning her gaze to the front lawn. 'Beautiful hydrangeas...'

Gertrude sat with her arms crossed, her eyes closed and her two weapons; Steelethrone and Ragna sitting by her side. No one didn't want to go near her. Gertrude, a big lurkering beast scared off a lot of the new students. Her long blonde hairpushed back and placed into a bun, with a fringe right above her eyes relaxed Gertrude. 'Father...' Gertrude muttered 'This better be worth it...'

"Huh..." Simon sighed, looking out to the distance again from the window. After that entire talk of upholding peace and what not placed unnecessary burden on his shoulders. On top of that... He hadn't tell her that he was going to Beacon. "Bah. She'll be alright." He shook his head, closing his eyes to avert himself of Priscilla.

The crowd spoke quietly, perhaps they were keeping things to themselves and with what they knew. He looked to the side a little, looking at people chatting and laughing before leaning his stomach on the beam to look below.

Someone stood beside him, looking out to the window and heard them squeal out in excitement. She was getting worked up about it and Simon felt it wasn't necessary. He turned his head. "Getting excit-- whohaohaohah!" He jumped and fell to the floor with his butt first. "Oww... Priscilla?"

He looked up, looking directly to the green eyes and to her slenderous figure crowned in brownish-blonde hair. "Whatthe-- What are you doing here?!" He asked her.

Priscilla sighed thinking about Simon. It was weird not telling him because then he would either be creeped out or something. It was weird not going somewhere without him. And suddenly she heard someone falling down and noticed Simon. ... SIMON?! Priscilla ran to Simon and helped him get up. "What did you do?" she asked a little confused seeing him here. Wh- He never told her about this huge secret?! What kind of b-..Priscilla bit her bottom lip. "Me? I am a huntress.." she sighed looking away to the window seeing the Academy. "I'm sorry, I never told you. I just didn't want to tell you because then you would be worried about me and not let me come here." she looked back at Simon and pushed him. "But it seems, that you can't tell me nothing!"

"What did you do?" Was the first thing that she said to him. He looked up with a questioningly face to her slightly confused.

"What? I didn't do anything!" He replied to her as she helped him up. His butt was sore from the ball, and he swore that he felt the airship wobble when he fell. "You're a huntress?!" He said surprised yet again as she looked away towards the window.

"I'm sorry, I never told you. I just didn't want to tell you because then you would be worried about me and not let me come here." Simon eyed her ominously, what was she planning at the back at her mind? It was all diffused as she pushed him across his chest and he felt himself being pushed back a little.

"H-hey!"

"But it seems that you can't tell me nothing!" She pouts with her cheeks puffed. At these times he just wants to pinch her cheeks. He gathered all of his composure back and stood in front of Priscilla.

"I was gonna tell you before I left... But, looks like the airship came quicker than I thought. I was gonna text you!" He hugged Priscilla in. "Well, I guess we have our faults. Let's just forget about it." He looked to her and smiled. "Looks like we'll be here soon. Let's be hunter and huntress together."

"You are among the a privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world, vast and rich in its beauty have lived well and long in both time and peace. Both Hunters and Huntresses alike have been born, raised and trained-- Sacrificing their efforts to uphold the peace and liberty for as long as we know it.

You, new recruits among countless others in this academy have shown the courage and strength. We've chosen you as future Hunters and Huntresses to take on an oath as we train and assist you to becoming a true Hunter and Huntress. We wish you luck."

Mei sat in a quiet corner having heard the announcement and let out a deep breath, preferring to meditate. Sure, she was headed to Beacon now and she was excited, but she preferred to keep her emotions under control. That was the key around her fighting style, after all, and she'll be damned if she let her emotions wreck her fighting ability before she even arrived.

Still, however, she could not help but be curious about the possibilities. Deciding that she needed a better way to maintain focus instead of simply deciding to be focused for the hell of it, she closed her eyes and practised her presence concealment. Tuning her aura to the world around her - a strange, foreign atmosphere of vibration and height that Mei was not accustomed to, which provided extra challenges - Mei activated her skill and her presence disappeared from the physical world.

Jie swiftly turned around to see the ruckus with The two. She swiftly walked pass them and sat close to Gertrude. 'I'd never expect a reunion of all things.' Jie said with a smirk. 'hmm?' Gertrude said 'Yes, but does it have to be so loud?' She asked Jie. The two looked at each other, then back at Simon and Priscilla. 'I'm guessing that you're Jie Huan?' Gertrude asked, crossing her legs. 'And you must be Miss Wimbleton...' Jie replied. 'I believe our families have past business accounts together...' Gertrude said. 'Well, I hope we're furthur acquainted with each other... Maybe even partners...' Jie said, smiling. She got up, and walked back to the window, past Simon and Priscilla.

Isaac sat atop his bag cradling his head in his hands, looking as though he was in a fair bit of pain, "Josh you son of a bitch, i'm gonna kick your ass one of these days." he muttered, cursing his elder brother for convincing his parents to make him take one last photo before boarding the ship. Taking pictures was bad enough for him as it was, however his brother Josh had insisted that he remove his shades for the picture. The boy dug into one of his pockets, pulled out a few pills for migraines, and quickly downed the medicine before looking around a bit, catching glimpses of people -or rather their body heat- as they passed him by. Hesitantly, Isaac lifted his shades to get a better look out of the window, his pearly white eyes reflecting light for a brief moment before he slammed the glasses back into place with a pained hiss. "Please let those pills work quickly..." Isaac groaned before once more returning his head to his hands.

Priscilla rolled her eyes at Simon. "So what? You were going to not tell me because you thought I was going to be worried about you? And what, all these years you were gonna be here, you was gonna find yourself some girlfriend or something?" she said looking away from Simon sighing and crossing her arms close to her chest. She would then feel his arms around her, as he hugged her. She backed away still angry. "Clearly. You was going to leave, without telling me. So I would be worried sick, and not knowing where the hell you were at."

"But... you are right. I did the same.." she shrugged and looking back at Simon. "Fine. But I am still mad at you..and I cannot believe you are a Hunter. Hahaha, I always thought of you to be the book guy. Not a fighter. But I was wrong. I find it sexy but then, I'm angry. Sooo." she looked back away to the window. "I wonder, what will happen."

"Nee... You're always being hard around me." Simon sighed. "And am not looking for girlfriend!" He wanted to just tug Priscilla's hair for saying that. He shook his head.

"Fine. But I am still mad at you... And I cannot believe you are a Hunter. Hahaha, I always thought of you to be the book guy. Not a fighter. But I was wrong. I find it sexy but then, I'm angry. Sooo." She had her eyes on the window again before she wondered about what's going to happen.

"Mad at me-- Wha--" He didn't know anymore, guess he was just on the chopping block for today. "I like my books thanks. Especially if they're about sci-fi stuff. Gets me creative. And stop being angry with me~!" He stood next to Priscilla, looking out to the window. The airship had finally arrived at Beacon's landing zone. It steadily hovered and let out a ramp so that the students could walk on and disembark from the ship. "Looks like we're here. Come on Priscilla." He moved his hand to grab hers.

Seeing that the airship had arrived, Mei collected her belongings and disembarked alone, disengaging her presence concealment as she did so and reappearing out of thin air. She would admit that it felt a little lonely to be all by herself while everyone around her seemed to know people. She supposed that's what happened when you come a long way to attend a school.

Oh well. She was here to train, not to fraternize and make friends.

Jie smiled as the ship landed, and followed the other students down the ramp. Gertrude sighed, picking up a sheathed Steelethrone and Ragna. She quickly bucked Steelethrone around her waist and walked down the ramp. Soon enough, she found herself next to Jie, making her way towards the academy. 'Lovely grounds...' Jie admitted, taking a moment to appreciate the floral of the academy. 'Oh great she's a flower lover...' Gertrude thought, crossing her arms. 'Oh, I apologise i'm getting distracted!' Jie said with a smile. Gertrude kept her serious frown remained. 'Let's just hope the flower side of your mind won't get in the way of combat.' She said. Jie remained her smiley face.

Alexis Azura was resting during the trip to Beacon. She was jolted awake by the loudspeaker and the announcement about being chosen as the few privileged Hunters and Huntresses out of all possible candidates. She felt excited but at the same time nervous about the people. Alexis was shy around others and seeing the rest of the people made her uneasy. "So these are all Hunters and Huntresses ..." She mumbled as she leaned back to continue her nap as the airship was on approach.

Noticing it landed she stood gathering her belongings

Isaac grunted a bit as he felt the ship landing, "Well...time to get moving." he muttered, sounding slightly better now that the pills were finally working their way through his system. He paused briefly to unzip something from his bag -a strange metallic object with a curved handle which sported a button on the end- and slid it through his belt loop before shouldering his bag and following the others out. It wasn't long before he heard students mentioning how nice the school looked, prompting him to reach up towards his lenses, "Couldn't hurt to take a peek." he said to himself as he slowly removed his glasses. Isaac's field of vision instantly exploded into a canvas of reds, oranges, yellows, blues, and greens as his eyes picked up the heat signatures of everything around him. He winced a bit, however the pain was tolerable now, "Whoa, trippy." Isaac said as he slid his shades up and rested them on the thick head of pale hair he sported. Moving on the outer edge of the crowd, Isaac's eyes darted about quickly as he eagerly examined everything around him, though despite his excitement, in the back of his mind Isaac couldn't help but wonder what the actual colors of the objects he looked at were.

Priscilla noticed that they were arriving slowly. "Uhhh. It's not that I am being hard on you. It's just. You were supposed to tell me. Hello. You know I am always worrying." she rolled her eyes and sighed seeing that they have landed. Priscilla looked down seeing Simon's arm locked in hers. "Fine, let's go." she said squeezing the hell out of his hand, hard, she meant to do that, a sign that she was really angry but she let it go now holding it softly as she dragged Simon to the exit and they walked down the ramp. Seeing alot of the hunters and huntress running down the ramp. "Well, they are exited."

Priscilla said looking at Simon and smiling at him. "I am glad that you are here though... I don't think, I was going to last a day here, without you being here."

Alexis exited the ship slowely taking in the sight of the Academy. It looked different then she had expected from reading about it. Holding back emotions that would convey her excitement or draw attention she held her bags which were only two and followed the crowds.

Priscilla was sure to be looking out for Simon, that's for sure. Remembering that only made himself feel a whole lot warmer inside to be with Priscilla. She cared and was always worrying and wondering about Simon. "Okay Priscilla. Won't happen again!" He'd imagine that her answer to that was gonna be 'heard that one before'. He snickered to himself. Their arms interlocking with each other and Priscilla looked before leaving.

"Fine let's go." The pressure around his hand was tight, Priscilla was squeezing the heck out of Simon's hand and Simon dryly laughed knowing that she really was mad at him for not telling her he was going to Beacon. Simon walked with her as her hands softened "Well, they are excited." They descended down the ramp together into the new Beacon academy that was waiting in front of them and ahead of them was a group of enthusiastic, fellow Hunters and Huntresses making a go for the square in the middle.

"Ah. Beacon Academy. Never thought I'd be here with all those books I read." He said. His sword was attached on his back and the shield on top of it. The grass here was tended beautifully. It's green, luscious. The trees were healthy and fruitful. The footpaths were well tended, although some of the moss that grew among the edges looked so perfectly matching.

"I am glad that you are here though..." Her words caught Simon's attention and his face looked towards her. "I don't think I was going to last a day here without you being with me." She was smiling, truly glad to have him with her. Simon smiled too.

"I'm sure that you'll do fine on your own if I weren't here." He said. "Although... I wouldn't be able to live without you by my side back at home." He admitted, before looking up towards the other students about. "Hey, let's make some friends!" He said and pulled her along with him as he approached a student who seemed to be wearing goggles (Isaac). "Hey!" Simon tried to get his attention.

'So...' Jie said. 'You going to make some friends?' She asked Gertrude. Gerty looked back to her. 'I'm not good a making friends... only acquaintances...' She replied. it was true, Gertrude thought that friends would only get in the way, and that acquaintances would help more on a journey... Jie looked at her. 'Well...' She thought 'I know what we're gonna try and fix while we're here...' Jie walked beside the hulking Gertrude. Gertrude was at least a foot taller than Jie, maybe even more. 'acquaintances...' Jie muttered. 'I don't think so...'

'So, who would you want on a team?' Jie asked. Gertrude lifted up her hand and clenched it. 'Only the most strongest!' She started 'Disciplined and honorary of them all! Those who believe in compassion, and those who seek mercy as a last resort! I want the most mentally and physically strongest on my team!' She shouted. Gertrude lowered her hand and breathed in.
