Ozpin was staring at Mesa with a heavy heart, he was fighting with all of his strength as a huntsman and yet, he barely managed to keep up. Now, Mesa is telling him, he was going to get serious. Ozpin stared deeply at Mesa before he made his decision, he will fight with magic from now on.
Unlike Salem, Ozpin magic was getting weaker and weaker over the time, he wanted to preserve as much as possible of his magical strength. He knew Salem was planning something in shadows, and he didn't know what it was, which worried him to no end. He had to preserve as much power as possible. But again, with Mesa standing in the front of him, planning to kill him. He knew all hopes will be lost if he was to be taken down. He is immortal and sure he could regain his current level, but he will need a lot of time to reach his current level again. Salem would win if he died here or at least will have a big advantage, he couldn't afford that. Time was not on his side, he had to win this fight , so he could protect the humanity from Salem.
As for Mesa, he didn't care about Ozpin or Salem, his actions' consequences will probably put lives of hundreds if not thousands in danger, was that of an importance to him, the answer is no. In his mind, he only thought [ I don't care about good or evil, people might call me evil because of my actions, they might call me demon. But should I care?. They say the strong protecting and helping the weak is a virtue. They praise those heros, and condemn the likes of me. But in the end, heros fated to suffer for others, fated to waste their lives protecting or fighting, fated to live a tired life full of pain, to make sacrifices for others, and their only reward is to be remembered and praised? I don't want to be a hero, I will live my life to the fullest as i desire. When i die, I will die with no regrets.]
Mesa smiled maniacally at Ozpin as he pulled his dagger from the sheath. Ozpin was staring at Mesa, his body started to glow green, a lot brighter than before. He was channeling his magic through his body.
Mesa smiled disappeared as he pointed his dagger at Ozpin, in that instant, unprecedented killing intent erupted from Mesa's body, crushing at Ozpin. Ozpin previously thought he sensed Mesa's full killing intent, and even though, it was extremely heavy, still was bearable for him, he believed it couldn't affect him. But the current one is completely different, it felt like tides of death slamming his body, his mind raced [ How many people did he kill? To have this kind of bloodthirst, he would need to kill thousands, This is even stronger than Salem's]
Ozpin was correct in his thoughts, Mesa kill counter reached thousands in his past life alone. He killed more than anyone else. He probably killed with his hands more than Salem did in hundreds of years. Grimms are not counted as Salem didn't land the killing blows.
None of the students detected any anomaly of what was going on. Mesa directed his killing on at Ozpin, making sure no one else would sense it. It only looked like Ozpin aura was growing stronger and Mesa was pointing dagger at ozpin. The killing intent from Mesa or the magical power of Ozpin completely went undetected.
Mesa started walking toward Ozpin slowly and steadily, this was the first time Mesa actually moved since the beginning of the battle. Ozpin was still staring at Mesa, with each step Mesa took, Ozpin worries grew more and more. His heart was pumping fast, he could feel death walking toward him. He had a feeling that no matter what he did today, his death was inevitable. To the first time in Ozpin's long life, he felt despair from someone other than Salem.
Suddenly, out of the expectation of everyone, a red blur appeared on the stage standing in front of Mesa. Ruby stood with her arms wide open blocking Mesa's way. She spoke to Mesa " Please stop, that's enough "
Mesa spoke coldly " Step aside, this is between me and the bisexual pedo over there" pointing at Ozpin.
Ruby wasn't sure what Ozpin did to have this opinion from Mesa, she thought Ozpin was nice and good elder, so she decided to defend him, maybe Mesa would change his opinion and stop fighting, so she with rare serious face said " You can't be sure, he might acted weirdly in front of you, but maybe it was his way of expressing his good intentions "
Ruby seemed like the innocent girl being taken advantage of by the evil old man. The students who doubted Mesa's words, now believed him. Ruby did the opposite effect. Instead of helping Ozpin, she ruined his reputation. A hot discussion about Ozpin sexual orientation was started. The amazing battle from earlier was completely forgotten.
Even team JNPR, Weiss and Blake were staring weirdly at Ozpin, while Yang was looking at him with red eyes. She looked like she was about to him. Ozpin, watching the show in front of him and feeling the weird stares stabbing him from the side. He forgot his despair and only could feel a sense of embarrassment and uncomfort washing his body.
Ruby didn't care about the others and plead Mesa " Please stop, you did enough. I don't want you to get hurt." she was about to cry.
" That old bastard over there is definitely up to no good and scheming something, killing him is doing the world a great favor " Mesa said with convention, as if he was the good guy in this show.
Ruby still didn't give up " Maybe you are mistaken, or missed something "
Ozpin ignored his current embarrassment as he saw a hope of surviving today " Mr Uchiha, what you said about my motivation of inviting you wasn't entirely incorrect. I didn't expect you would be this sensitive toward words and lies, which caused a huge misunderstanding. I can't explain all the details now, but I guarantee that i didn't have any malice toward you, I had your best interest in mind."
Mesa, who was looking at Ruby, raised his head looking at Ozpin and thought [ Fighting anymore is pointless for me, Ozpin is feeling despair, he gave up the idea of winning and surviving through a battle, and if were to continue , I would be lucky if he had the same strength considering his state of mind. If i were to kill him, all my effort with team RWBY would be in vain. Not worth the trade. (SIGH) … I can only play with him for now]
If Ozpin knew that his life and the survival of the world in the mind of Mesa was actually so cheap and meaningless, and he was nothing but a toy to entertain Mesa, he might decided to fight to death with him to the bitter end.
Mesa's eyes gleamed as he said " Even if you are honest, you still a pedo and gay. You disgusting old man still deserve to be killed "
Ozpin eye twitched at hearing Mesa's words, and hearing the students agreement made things worse. He spoke in tired voice " Mr Uchiha, I told you before I'm not gay nore pedo. In fact, i don't have interest in both males or females regardless of the ages"
Mesa nearly laughed hearing Ozpin words, but he did his best to keep himself calm. He looked at Ozpin and apologized " I'm sorry, I didn't expect you were impotent." Mesa face seemed that of shame and sincerity.
Another discussion started among the students, this time was about why Ozpin didn't get married or had children. It was as if a great mystery was solved today.
Ozpin stood there looking blankly, no matter what he said or did, he was the losing side. He wanted to defend himself, but he thought if this conversation went any longer, he wouldn't have any dignity left. He decided to take the bitter pill being the impotent huntsman.
Ozpin thought [ I can't do anything to control him or stop him, and If he joined Salem, then we are done for. With this guy alone, Salem could get her hands on the relics with ease. She might not need any other pawn beside him]
Ozpin took a deep breath and said " Before this whole conflict started, and you attacking Glynda ….."
" She attacked me first " Mesa interrupted.
" After you called her a bitch " Ruby from the side said.
" I didn't, i only gave an example of words play. Beside, shouldn't you be on my side. I'm the victim here" Mesa said shamelessly
Everyone present looked at Mesa. The guy, who destroyed the stage, nearly killed a teacher, after calling her a bitch, and thrashed the headmaster's reputation, is now calling himself the victim. Ozpin hearing Mesa barely managed to keep himself from cursing out loud.
" Cough! Cough! Glynda was in the bad attacking a student, but you also were disrespectful toward her not mention you harmed her. So let's call off for now. As i said before this whole conflict, I wanted you to join the school as student. I didn't plan on failing you because of the relic or the team regardless of your reasons. So that being said, I wanted to let you join Beacon as single man team. And with the display today, i doubt anyone would question you qualification. Of course, if you are still willing to join." Ozpin did his best to keep his words friendly, and not trigger Mesa again.
Ruby started jumping telling Mesa " Accept the offer!! Just Accept it !!"
Yang jumped on the stage and said while narrowing her eyes" Mesa, you should accept the offer, or do you plan on leaving us on the first day of the school again? "
Mesa looked at Ozpin and said " Ok, but know this, If you do anything suspicious, i will come for your head". Ozpin, after experiencing Mesa's strength first hand, knew for a fact that he will carry his threat and probably will succeed.
" You don't have to worry about that. You will be considered team Uchiha, you will participate in every lecture like any other students, but you can't join events that require a whole team like the Vytal festival. Lastly, you are not allowed to use your semblance in the school unless you are in sparring arena. You semblance is ….. Too destructive "
" Fine by me" Mesa replied.
Team JNPR and the rest of team RWBY joined Mesa on the stage, they were congratulating him and praising his display.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
