  Initiation begins!

  -x-X-x-

  It was… actually, he still didn’t know her name, Cole realizes betedly. She was the one who sat way to close to him on the airship. She was also the one who had interrupted him and the Schnee Heiress, giving Cole an opportunity to extricate himself from that situation with his stolen goods in hand.

  And yet, he’d never found out her name. As Cole continues to plow Amber mercilessly, his eyes narrow as he stares directly at the raven-haired voyeur watching them go at it. In all fairness to her, they weren’t exactly in a private pce, so they didn’t have room to compin. But at the same time… what the hell was she doing up here? At this point it felt like she was stalking-

  Cole’s eyes widen in sudden realization. Once was happenstance. Twice was coincidence. But three times smacked of enemy action. He’d been wondering how the hell Goodwitch knew he’d stolen the Schnee’s Dust Crystals. After all, Cole had checked for cameras and thought he was well out of any sightlines. However… what if this bitch had left and then doubled back? What if she’d been watching from somewhere hidden?

  Tch… only one way to really find out, wasn’t there?

  “Hey Amber.”

  Still fucking Glynda’s assistant on her back, his cock sliding in and out of her clenching cunt as she loudly moans and shudders around his length, Cole waits for Amber to find her voice, even as he refuses to take his eyes off of the other woman watching them from across the rooftop.

  “A-Ah… y-yes?”

  Keeping his voice moduted so that their voyeur doesn’t hear him, Cole continues thrusting away.

  “Did you mean it earlier? When you said you wanted me to make you mine?”

  Amber stiffens under him, blushing profusely for a long moment before finally answering in a quiet tone.

  “… y-yes…”

  Finally taking his eyes off of their voyeur, Cole leans down and captures Amber’s lips in his own, kissing her deeply and domineeringly. Her eyes widen and she shudders as she tips over the edge, cumming all over his cock for him right then and there. Cole doesn’t let up though. He keeps on fucking her, pounding her pussy as she clings to him for dear life.

  PLAP! PLAP! PLAP!

  When they finally pull apart for air however, that’s when Cole strikes.

  “… Tell me who Goodwitch has spying on me.”

  This time, Amber freezes completely. But Cole isn’t really giving her time to process. He increases the pace, plowing her even harder. And for good measure, he reaches up and grabs her by her tits, squeezing them roughly and making her half-moan, half-cry out as he pulls his fingers back until he’s pinching her nipples.

  “Don’t you dare lie to me, Amber.”

  Whimpering, Amber finally gives in.

  “B-Bke… her name is Bke Beldonna…”

  Looking up, Cole is unsurprised to see their voyeur has vanished while she had the chance. Whether she was waiting for him to look away for even a moment, or whether breaking eye contact brought her back to her senses, it doesn’t matter in the end. She’s gone now… but he’s not about to forget her.

  “Bck hair, golden eyes, bck bow on the top of her head?”

  Biting her lower lip, Amber shakily nods, looking a little upset that she’s betraying Glynda like this. And yet… betray her she has. And all for Cole’s approval and affection. Funny how a little pleasure can turn the woman who was trying to give him advice on how to be ‘friendly’ into a needy little bitch a mere hour ter.

  “Y-Yes… that’s her.”

  Bringing one hand up from her chest to her neck, Cole closes it around Amber’s throat. He doesn’t grip down hard enough to choke her or anything like that. Rather, he holds her like that to show her who’s in charge. After a moment, he kisses her again. Amber moans into his mouth, her pussy walls squeezing down on his cock all the harder as her eyes flutter. When they pull apart this time, Cole picks up the pace, fucking her even harder as he nears his release.

  “Good girl.”

  That tips her over the edge once more, causing her to orgasm all over his cock again. This time around, Cole lets her flexing, clenching walls milk him for all they’re worth. He cums as well, filling Amber with his seed and feeling his Sembnce activate at the same time. A sense of power and energy flows through them both, causing Amber to gasp and moan all the more wantonly as she writhes under him, clearly experiencing the most pleasurable climax of her life.

  Once they’re done, Cole pulls out and runs a hand through Amber’s sweaty hair.

  “Let’s keep me knowing about Bke between us, shall we?”

  Amber looks torn for a moment, but in the end she nods again while biting her lower lip.

  “J-Just so you know… Bke isn’t supposed to spy on you or anything l-like that. The Headmistress simply wanted you to have an extra yer of security. Bke’s job is to keep you safe above all else.”

  Cole tilts his head to the side at that, humming as he turns Amber’s words over in his head. On the one hand, they had a note of truth to them. At least, Amber herself seemed to believe them. On the other hand…

  “And yet, she’s the one who ratted me out to Goodwitch, wasn’t she?”

  Amber averts her gaze at that, looking torn.

  “A-Ah… well you did steal from another student…”

  Cole snorts and shakes his head. No matter. At least now he knew… and Amber was practically already his. Not that Glynda was necessarily the enemy. She was his employer… and also a woman he was currently doing his level best to impregnate for lien as well. Still, Cole didn’t like being watched. At least now he knew. That meant he could do something about it.

  But he doesn’t say that to Amber. Instead, changing the subject entirely, he gives her tits another grope before pulling her up onto her knees by her nipples. Amber gasps, even as he ys his messy cock down across her nose, smearing their combined juices onto her face.

  “Clean me up and get me ready for another round. We’re not done yet tonight.”

  The slightly older girl’s eyes widen at that, before filling with excitement. She eagerly begins to obey him, sucking him into her mouth and cleaning him off. Cole just smiles as he runs a hand through her hair. Sure, he had a big morning tomorrow… but he was feeling better than ever thanks to his Sembnce. And every scrap of power he could gain was a step in the direction of independence and freedom…

  -x-X-x-

  The next day, Cole watches from afar as some of his fellow initiates interact ahead of Initiation. For instance, he watches as Weiss Schnee tries to butter up Pyrrha Nikos, only for Joan Arc to bumble her way into the conversation and score way more points with the Mistralian Athlete.

  On the one hand, how the fuck did you not know who Pyrrha Nikos was? Cole would have thought Joan to be lying if she wasn’t so obviously an ignorant idiot. On the other hand, it was incredibly obvious even from his vantage point far away that Pyrrha was uncomfortable with her fame and celebrity. There was a reason she’d come to Beacon instead of staying in Mistral and attending their Huntsman Academy, after all.

  Weiss didn’t seem to get that. She seemed to think all of her fawning would endear her to Pyrrha and make the red head like her more, instead of just pushing her away all the harder. Meanwhile, Cole saw the way Pyrrha was looking at Joan as the oblivious blonde stuttered and stammered her way through the conversation.

  From the look of things, Pyrrha Nikos was either a closet lesbian… or she was so starved for someone who didn’t treat her like a celebrity that she was ready to tch onto the first person who came along that didn’t recognize her.

  It was none of Cole’s business either way, in the end. He highly doubted that Goodwitch would put him on a team with someone as famous as Nikos anyways, and Cole himself definitely didn’t want the scrutiny that would come from such a thing.

  Finally, they all head out to the edge of the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest, where Headmistress Goodwitch and Amber await them. The Headmistress’ Assistant blushes as she makes eye contact with Cole, averting her gaze even as a small smile pys across her lips. Needless to say, he’d made st night a night to remember for her.

  “Welcome, all of you, to your Initiation into Beacon. Not all of you will pass today. Some of you might not even survive.”

  Oh? Cole focuses a bit more on what Goodwitch is saying at that deadpanned statement. They’re all lined up in front of her, and he can feel some of the others fidgeting and twitching at her words.

  “Behind you is the Emerald Forest, where you will not only prove that you belong at Beacon… you will also meet your partners for the next four years. However, do not assume this to be a cakewalk. The Emerald Forest has it’s fair share of Grimm and while there will be Professors watching your progress the entire time, they have been instructed NOT to interfere.”

  Yeah, pull the other one. Cole figured, at least where he was concerned, that Glynda herself would step in if it looked like he was in mortal peril. Still, let her scare the others. It wasn’t his business.

  “That is not to say you will be alone out there, however. As I mentioned previously, you will be meeting your partners for the next four years down in the forest. The first person you make eye contact with shall be your partner, without exception.”

  Wait… seriously? Cole hears a whole lot of murmuring at that from those gathered around him. He has to admit, even he’s a little surprised that it’s something so arbitrary. He would have figured Glynda would have wanted to guarantee that her little spy was his partner or something. But this… this left it all up to chance, didn’t it?

  “Once you have paired up, you should work together with your partner to make it to the end of the Emerald Forest. There, you will find the ruins of an abandoned temple. Within this temple there are several relics. Each pair of initiates should take one relic and bring it back here at the top of the cliff to pass your initiation.”

  There’s a pause as everyone assimites that information. Finally, Goodwitch clears her throat.

  “Any questions?”

  “U-Um… yeah? Ma’am?”

  All eyes turn to Joan Arc, causing the blonde to squeak and shrink in on herself. But Glynda just narrows her eyes and hums.

  “Yes? What is it?”

  “How… do we get down to the forest, exactly?”

  Seriously? Cole’s eyes flicker from Joan… down to the ptform she’s standing on. The ptform that’s mirrored by the ptforms they’re ALL standing on. Did she not understand how this worked?

  “You will be unched.”

  That’s all Glynda gives, before the unching begins. Joan shrieks as she’s thrown through the air. Everyone else is a bit more… composed though a couple of them are way too cheery about it in Cole’s humble opinion. He, meanwhile, is prepared thanks to all of Glynda’s training these past couple weeks. Sure, he’s a far cry from a trained huntsman, and he’s definitely behind everyone who got years of training when they were younger.

  But he’s not auraless anymore. And he’s never going to be that weak ever again.

  As Cole is unched, he only has eyes on one thing… where Bke Beldonna is going. It’s obvious at this point that Goodwitch told her spy to partner up with him, because Bke is watching him as well.

  Well, he has no reason to make it easy for them, now does he? Smirking a bit, Cole angles himself so that when his ptform finally springs him into the Emerald Forest… it’s to the opposite side from where Bke will nd. She could still try and track him down, and no doubt she’ll try to do exactly that… but Cole isn’t going to go down without a fight.

  Landing on his feet in the dark forest, he immediately pulls his borrowed weapon out and extends the cane ssh baton to his side. Keeping his head on a swivel, Cole moves quietly through the woods, trying his best to be sneaky. And to be fair, given his history one might think it would be simple enough in the end.

  … But Cole had to admit, there was a difference between skulking through a city and skulking through a forest. A big difference. This was not his home environment, and he was more than a little on edge, despite his aura being unlocked. After all, this would be his first time encountering-

  A growl from his left is all the warning Cole gets. But it’s warning enough, thank fuck. He turns and imposes The Long Memory between him and a snarling Beowulf at the st possible second, swinging the cane like a mace and smashing it into the Grimm’s snapping jaws.

  The Beowulf is thrown to the side, but it has friends… friends that Cole finds himself beset by a moment ter. Two of the creatures are on top of him in a moment, bringing the number he’s facing up to three. Thankfully, he has the Aura to deal with them. Unfortunately, Aura is by no means an infinite resource.

  With a snarl of his own, Cole swings The Long Memory back and forth. It’s a bludgeoning weapon at the end of the day… nothing special. Not even as difficult to use as a sword or spear would be, really. He stabs the blunt end of the cane up through the underside of one of the Beowulves’ throats and then smacks the other one off of him before leaping to his feet in anticipation of the original one coming back for Round Two.

  Only… the original Beowulf is already dealt with. Cole realizes this in the same moment that he makes eye contact with the young woman who killed it.
