The Grimm Reaper (RWBY x Male! Reader) (2/?)

A/n: Ok, this one will reveal who's that little child is and what's their purpose of with (Y/n). Here you go.

A uniformed, sleeping Jaune Arc with his head resting in his hands while a constantly-zooming and fast-talking Professor Bartholomew Oobleck is in the middle of his hyperactive lecture, educating Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Pyrrha Nikos, Velvet Scarlatina, and a leaned-back Cardin Winchester directly behind Jaune.

"This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War!" Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie," Oobleck said as he points at the map of said-area with his stick, then zooms off to the side for a sip of his coffee before appearing in front of the desk, "Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day! Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"

A couple of students raise their hands. Velvet, after a moment, does the same.

"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence," the professor said as he takes another sip of his coffee, "I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of the War? (a hand is raised) Yes?"

"The battle at Fort Castle!"

"Precisely! And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"

Unseen by the professor, Cardin flicks a paper football at Jaune's head, causing him to wake up.

"Hey!"

""Mr. Arc," the professor said, zooming up to Jaune, "Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"

"Uhhhh... The answer...."

"Doctor Oobleck," (Y/n), "I assume that someone just wanted to Mr. Arc there humiliated in front of the class. No need for name calling." The whole class looks over to the source of voice. There, with his bone, (Y/n) stood beside Oobleck

"I see," Oobleck said, "Explain what you know."

"Hmm... to explain this out," (Y/n) said, "you see... if I weren't here, this brown-haired tough looking fellow below me got Mr. Arc's attention by flicking a paper football at his head. When you're waiting for Arc's answer, he messed up. If I predicts his words, it would of sound like this. 'Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... of the Faunus...... had over that guy's stuff... Uhh... Binoculars!'"

The class laughs at that and Oobleck sips on his coffee. "I wouldn't say that," Jaune said. "I know," (Y/n) said, "But I'm prediciting this, not trying a fool out of you you. The fools you should laugh at are me and Mr. Tough guy over there." He was directly looking at Cardin, who seems to be pounding his fist on the desk while chortling. "Very funny, Professor (L/n)," Oobleck said, "I see you're being honest, despite that netural emotion, I will need to talk to you after this class. Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!"

"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier," Cardin said, but at his last word, a noise of failure from a trombone was heard. Cardin looks back to see (Y/n), holding his scroll, before he tosses it to Oobleck, who catches. "Thanks Doc," the Albino said, "As for you, Mr. Winchester, you're not open-minded of individuals, are you?" "What," Cardin said, looking annoyed, "You got a problem?"

"No offence (and sorry for my language), for someone who represent everyone, who have to endure your shit, yes. The answer is night vision, numb skull. Many Faunus are known to have near-perfect sight in the dark." 

"So what? Why would care about this? Don't you discriminated Faunus? They're animals, abom-"

(Y/n) teleports infront of Cardin on the desk. (Y/n)'s netural expression into a grin, but in someone else's point of view, they could of sworn they saw a hint of dark blue aura glowing him. Cardin felt scared when the teen stare down at him, but kept his expression. "Abomination, huh," (Y/n) said, still grinning, "Your opinions on Faunus makes anyone hate for the bullshit they have to endure. I suggest to keep your mouth shut, unless you want to have a bad time."

(Y/n) pulls away as he walked back to his seat. Then... "General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of ambushing the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and he got captured," (Y/n) explains, slowly looking at Cardin, "Perhaps if you paid attention in class more, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."

Cardin gets up from his seat, fist clenched, but Oobleck stopped him. ""Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat," Oobleck said and when Jaune laughs at his tormentor's embarrassment, zooms up to him, "You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings."

"Oohhhh..."

"Now! Moving on!"

*timeskips to lesson end*

"Look, I know you're trying to help, but please don't do that way, (Y/n)," Oobleck explains with (Y/n), tossing his scroll, infront with Jaune and Cardin in the back, "I know you  would do the same with anyone else, but please don't try to do that in my class."

"Noted. I don't want you to take time on them, but may I do your talking?"

"If you know it, then please, do it."

"Thank you."

(Y/n) turns to look at the two boys. The grin on (Y/n) fades away, but turns to a strict expression. "You two have been struggling in his class since day one," he explains to the two, "he doesn't know if it's a lack of interest or just stubborn nature, but whatever it is, must stop now! You two have worked hard to gain entrance with Beacon, and they only accept the best of the best, so he expects both of you to act like it. History is important if you want understand logics and such, gentlemen! If you can't learn from it, you're destined to repeat it! Pages fifty-one to ninety-one! Doc here wants an essay on his desky by next class!" Before the young professor walks away, he stopped and looks at Jaune, "And, Jauney boy," (Y/n) said, "If you need help, call me or your teammates. We can help."

With that, (Y/n) walks off, but as he was at the hallways, he was snatched by a hand and was dragged to the nearest door. He looks over to see Blake. "So," Blake said, "Do you discriminate with Faunus? I want an honest answer, if you can." "No," (Y/n) said, "In all honesty, I've been cared by a Faunus or two. They loved me like family when my guardians aren't around."

"Oh? Who was this Faunus?"

"Toriel."

"Huh, I think I know her. Hmm... it's a blur."

"Well, she's not dead that's for sure, and isn't like White Fang."

"Point of view on White Fang?"

"They sort of need a lesson on what the hell they're doing. Sure protest that they're not animals, I agree with, but if it's murder, robbery or so on, meh... they're going to have a bad time if I ever been in a situation like that. "

"Ok, that's all I need to know. Oh and thanks."

"For what?"

"Not discriminating Faunus. People like you understands the reality."

"Just because your a Faunus, I don't have the right of being a racist. I'll teach a lesson on those who are making the wrong choices."

"How...!?"

"It's all in the eyes. Don't worry. I understand why you cover them. Lips are sealed til the end."

Blake nodded ad leaves after that, and then, (Y/n).

*another timeskip*

(Y/n) walks to the rooftops in one of the buildings, with a clear view of the tower of Beacon. But, he's at the door and saw the Jaune and Pyrrha. Curious, he listens to what's going on, so he blends with the darkness.

"No, I don't! *sighs* I wasn't really accepted to Beacon..."

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"I mean I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this academy! I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!"

"What? But... why?"

"Cause this is always what I've wanted to be. My father, my grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors! They were all heroes! I wanted to be one, too. I was just never good enough."

"Then let me help you!"

"I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero!"

"Jaune, I-"

"I'm tried of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while his friends fight for their lives! Don't you understand? If I can't do this on my own... then what good am I? ... Just... leave me alone. Okay?"

"If that's what you-"

"Hold the fuck on," (Y/n) said, coming out of the shadows, flinching the two by surprised, "don't think like that!" "Professor," Pyrrha said. "Please... just call me (Y/n) or the Grimm Reaper," (Y/n) said, "I'll explain why you should called me that when in class, but I want to see about this situation." "... Go on ahead. I was about to leave anyway," Pyrrha said as she left the rooftops.

It was only Jaune and (Y/n) standing at the rooftops. "I-I can explain," Jaune said, "Please I just want to..." "Don't worry about your forms and such," (Y/n) said, "Heh... I can understand why you want to try to know who you really are."

"You do?"

"Of course. Despite being the youngest professor, I had that exact same thought and mind. I wanted to show the people I can do it even without the right training. You and most of the students saw me onnly hitting people with bones and glaring at them with my phantoms, but there's a reality to that."

"Why's that?"

"I had just slow beginning my semblance."

"What?"

"Like you, Jaune Arc, there's a time I wanted to be a hero and not just a friend who stands there while your friends there are sacrifcing their lives out there too. You see, I'm just an orphan, carrying my last name while Ozpin, Glynda, and the rest of the professors here try and take care of me. Even after what they did for me, I wanted to the same, so I entered Beacon to prove my point. I was weak at first, but as I slowly started to train, to focus what I believed in, I become stronger. You are at my place in Beacon."

"Why would you think I'm in your place?"

"... If it wasn't for the bullying... you couldn't stand up for yourself."

"Ohh..."

"I never wanted to get bullied, but it happened. I stand up for myself. I unlocked semblance, even if I didn't see. I showed them that I am strong. Why don't you try it out?"

"I can't."

"We'll see about that. And here..."

(Y/n) took out a folded a piece of paper as Jaune took it. "What's it for," Jaune asked as he put it in his back pocket. "You should know already," (Y/n) said, "Anyway, I'm going to Grillby's. See ya." (Y/n) slowly walks to the edge and jumps down. Jaune rushes toward (Y/n), only to see (Y/n) disappeared.

Jaune was confused and just left the rooftop. 'Hm...' Jaune thought, 'I wonder if he's right... I guess I have to see what store in me. If he's right... then... I guess I'm surprised. Whatever... Cardin's going to make do something, right? I guess I have to endure or something.'

*timeskip to unknown time*

Glynda leading teams RWBY, JNPR, and CRDL through the area of Forever Fall. (Y/n) was there, but not with them. Glynda already knows why (Y/n) is doing this and let it slide. While, Glynda was talking with the students, (Y/n) watches high above the trees.

"Do you think he'll be fine, (Y/n)," A little girl said as a spirit of the child, that Blake saw earlier, sits beside (Y/n), kick her feet back and forth. "I'm sure he'll be fine," He said, slowly grinning, "Beside... I know what to do... Let's get ourselves an Ursa Major and watch the magic. They love this Red Sap, right? I know what to do." (Y/n) and the little girl disappeared and went to do their thing.

Now perched on a hilltop overlooking the other students, team CRDL - plus Jaune, squeezed between Cardin and Russel Thrush - peak their heads over the crest and watch as everyone is retrieving their samples of sap. Ren, kneeling to collect it from a tree, passes a full jar to Nora, who "Mmmm!"s at the gift as Ren trades it for the other jar in her care. He turns back to the tree and starts filling it up while several licking sounds are heard to Nora, now with an embarrassed smile covered in red and an empty jar in her hands.

It seems that Cardin wanted to do something stupid. They wanted to use the rapier Wasps on a certain Red-haired. They wanted payback. But...

"No."

"What did you said?"

"I said... NO!"

Jaune turns to Cardin and throws the jar at Cardin, instantly recoiling his hands to himself as he looks at Cardin's breastplate covered in sap. The other team leader, however, just looks at himself and laughs darkly.

​​​​​​Jaune humorously laughs to himself once more with his hands still raised in an attempt for defense as Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark grab Jaune's shoulders and pull him in so his terrified eyes.


With (Y/n) and the little girl...

"Well," The little girl said, "They are beating him up." "Good," (Y/n) said, on the neck of the Ursa Major, "Now... Let them have a bad time and Jaune's semblance activate a little bit... and the help of Pyrrha. Go Ursa Major! Get the Red Sap!" The Ursa moved towards the scent of the Red Sap, as (Y/n) and the little girl teleports to a different spot and watch the scene unfolded.

a surprised Team CRDL turns around and sees a large paw crash onto the scene, belonging to a huge Ursa Major with dozens of jagged spikes sticking out from its wide back. It leaps forward and stands over the terrified students, lifting its head in the air to smell the sap on Cardin's breastplate. It lands back on its forelegs and roars at Cardin while his teammates heroically flee.

(Y/n) chuckles a bit and said, "Keep watching, I'll see if they even catch up to them." The little girl nodded as the young professor teleports again. Cardin is rooted to the spot when the Grimm swings its claws and knocks him sideways, revealing Jaune cowering behind him. The Ursa continues to sniff, uninterested in Jaune and following its nose to Cardin. He watches at it towers over Cardin, who gets his wits and pulls out his mace weapon only for the monster to swipe it away to Jaune's feet. He looks conflicted, wondering whether to fight or run away.

Cardin is attempting to run from the following Ursa, but it leaps over its prey and claws him away. He tries to get up and crawl away. Pyrrha, Ruby and Weiss come to the scene as they watch as the Ursa leans over the helpless victim, raising its paw and swiping it down... only to be blocked by Jaune's shield, Crocea Mors. He struggles to defend a stunned Cardin from its attempts to lean on him, but (Y/n) was behind the Ursa Major and kicks its legs and grabbing one of them before throwing the Major to the other end of the forest.

"Tch..." (Y/n) said, "Looks like I came here on time." "(Y/n)," Jaune said, shocked, "How did you know?" "I can sense it from far away," (Y/n) said, but it was a lie. He knew. "Why don't we tag team? Though I will give you the last hit."

Jaune nodded and gets into position. "Well, I'm going to need my weapon," (Y/n) said, raising his hand up, "Let's go, Frisk!" The little girl smiled, who now's name is revealed. She jumps in the air and transforms into one of (Y/n)'s selections of weapons, a devilish dagger. Frisk hurls towards (Y/n) as he grabs her by the handle.

"Bring it on!"

*(Y/n)'s POV*

Jaune and I both charge at the bear and dodges its attack as the blonde blocks it and we both slashes at its stomach. It about to attack on blonde, but he rolls out of the way and jumps over its swipe at his feet, but he is unprepared for when it launches a claw at him in midair.

That was the time I pushed him out of the way and blocks it, but it took me in mid-air and hit a tree. I cough a little blood and look to see the Ursa knocks blonde behind it when he tries for a leaping attack, and he looks at his shield. He grows angry again and starts to run at the Ursa as it also begins to dash towards him. I can't let him get killed by the thing. In a blink of an eye I charges at the Ursa, passing the blonde. The Ursa was surprised by my eyes glowing. I pushes the attack away from the and in that instants, I ducked and Jaune get the last slice, cutting the head off.

I smiled when that happened and now... to make it look like I was hurt still. I kneeled down and cough up blood, but it was really ketchup. Jaune notices and rushes towards me. "Professor," Jaune said, "You ok?" "I'm fine, Jaune," I said, slowly getting up as Frisk fades, not being noticed by anyone, "Just a few stimpacks and I'll be fine."

"Holy crap, Jaune," he said, and he looks at me, "You also did a very good job." I nodded and looked at Jaune as he said this to the idiot, or Cardin as I heard, "Don't ever mess with my team - my friends - ever again. Got it?" Cardin looks intimidated, possibly even apologetic. With his order spoken, Jaune turns and walks away from a frozen Cardin.

I smiled on the inside as we went back to the academy. Once there, Glynda found me in my room, laying on the bed. "That's some dirty trick you did there," She said, walking towards me, "What were you thinking?" "You said act my age, so I did," I said, "I did what I can and boom. Jaune stand up for himself."

"But you got an Ursa Major and made it attack the boys!"

"It's called, make them think what they did wrong."

"Well, whatever the case, you did alright so far. Not to mention how you wanted it to happen."

"One has to take a risk, you know."

"I see... What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to see Team RWBY. I told them the same thing I did with Jaune and Pyrrha, call me by my first name. I also told them that we can be friends, even if it was a few weeks of me being strict"

"I see... Alright then. See you soon... if so."

Glynda went out the door and closed it. I sighed and look at the ceiling. "Well," Frisk said beside me, "Now that's out of the way, we can do the real parts, right?" "Yeah. Yeah we are, Frisk," I said, "We're going to go in some deep stuff."

"Well, Goodnight, (Y/n)."

"Night, little sis."

I soon feel into a deep slumber.  'This going to be one hell of a day tomorrow,' I thought to myself, before closing my eyes and wait for the next day.
