Leon fought qrow to a draw , this meant that leon had matched up to a professional hunter who spent most of his time doing dangerous mission. leon had all but idolized the grumpy middle aged man for as long as he could remember , so matching him so a true achievement for leon. this had allowed leon to reach level three at which time he mentally hoped for some kind of spell. he wasn't disappointed either as he found an instant cast spell called hell fire. the spell summoned a spark of silver and black fire that he could control at a constant variable mana cost.
The fire was easily the most destructive thing leon had since the intense heat was enough to wither the surroundings instantly and when fully unleashed erased everything in it's way. leon immediately knew he had finally found a way to use his tail in combat. it took the rest of the time before entry to beacon was scheduled but he figured out how to summon the fire at his tail rather than his hands. leon left after yang and ruby did since he wasn't going to be taking the transport thanks to the fact he could fly to beacon safely.
'It's a beautiful day up here houston , not a cloud in sight OH FUCK BIRD!' leon sputtered after flying into a rising hawk when he was distracted. "sorry about that!" he yelled at the bird that managed to right itself in midair after he fit it. 'wait does that make me an airplane?' he wondered but decided against it. it didn't take leon long to catch up with the transports that flew at a decent speed but not super quickly. leon posed for the people looking at him from the windows of which ruby herself was included and waved.
Leon waved back before accelerating to pass the transport leaving the pilots gawking at him as he got further and further away. beacon was not a new place for leon since he had been here to chat with ozpin as well as to install it's antigrim defenses. beacon was built on a huge scale with several different cultural styles built into the architecture. the most common was late victorian era type though as most of the buildings were made of brick and wood. "and he sticks the landing." leon said with a grin as he gently landed on the stone docking platform buildings roof.
'Now to wait for those two to show up , should be interesting to see how ruby acts on her first day.' he thought while sitting down to wait since he beat the transport here by a good thirty minutes. the bulky transports docked nice and easy and would be students started to leave them with their luggage. out of all of these people only one noticed leon looking over everyone and stared at him in confusion until he waved. this seemed to spook the girl as she flinched before waving back and leaving.
A few people saw the girls actions and tried to figure out what she was doing but their perception was terrible. none of those people had bothered to look up as they scanned the area for whatever the girl had waved at causing them to miss leon entirely. yang and ruby were some of the last people off the transport along with a black haired faunus girl who was hiding it for some reason. yang ditched ruby after that and ruby seemed depressed until she tripped over what leon recognized immediately as weiss schnee from his business.
To be more specific ruby tripped over the heiress's luggage which turned out to be dust after she started shaking a bottle in ruby's face. leon started gliding down quietly towards the two as just like leon thought the powdered dust caused ruby to sneeze and ignite it. "see this exactly what i was talking about carelessness!" weiss was going on angry rant until leon spoke up from behind her. "is there a problem miss schnee?" he asked with a friendly smile. the girl turned around and froze in fear at the hulking mass of muscled man right there.
She blushed in embarrassment and managed to look up at leons face and froze again when she recognized it. "vermilion drake!" she exclaimed in surprise. "i go by leon actually , though don't tell your father since he might try it to get a discount." leon said with a chuckle. "what are you doing here leon?" ruby asked in confusion. leon looked at ruby with the same smile "i'm a first year here same as you and yang , wanted to make it a surprise , so surprise." leon said while making jazz hands.
