The sky was as blue as can be, a few specks of clouds shading the land from an otherwise beaming sun. Joining the clouds in the air was a few scattered objects, gray and black, flying about Vale. These airships flew quick and smooth, from all over Remnant, to meet at one place:
Beacon Academy.
The jewel of Vytal, Beacon Academy was where some of the best Hunters trained. Huntresses and Huntsmen the world over know of Beacon, whether they trained there or at a different academy, Beacon is known far and wide.
More so now, after the stories of "The Siege at Beacon Tower" spread through the world. Not much is known about it, the faculty and few students involved haven't given much information, but some say that Grimm from all over the world swarmed the gates. Some say a Unicorn was seen charging down Hunters, some say goblins and imps joined the fray, there was even stories of giants attacking the school.
But the beasts were driven back, and despite the damage to the grounds, the tower stood strong. But there were casualties, the Headmaster was found dead, though not of a Grimm attack. One of the biggest secrets about the attack, that even few faculty know, is that one of their own betrayed the school and murdered the Headmaster with the huge battle as a distraction. But since the tragedy, the damage to the grounds has been repaired, though a permanent Headmaster hasn't been established yet. The Deputy Headmaster has taken over the position temporarily, but is still searching for someone to properly fill the role.
However, the new year has started, and new students have enrolled. The Airships carrying the prospective attendees left Vale airspace and flew over forests and countrysides, as a familiar cliff came into view from the windows. The docks on the edge were still far away, but any student looking out the window could see the giant tower of the school's namesake.
For now, the students were milling about in Airship's rooms. There were many small rooms connected to each other in the large Airships, with bathrooms, storage, and complimentary food throughout. Rooms with chairs, holoscreens, and computer terminals were also offered, if any had some last minute business to take care of before they'd touch down. But they wouldn't be landing for at least another 10 minutes.
