Chapter 1: Saint of the Sword.
Notes: alright my doods! Here is another story for y'all and it's going to be based on the teacher's trope.
This idea came to me by reading a few fanfics and thought it'd be interesting to do so here we are.
The idea of sword saint, which came from the anime called 'Overlord', but what I'm doing here doesn't have anything to do with the overlord anime.
Jaune Arc isn't going to be the same in canon except that he will still remain the dorky and adorable man that we all known and love, to the best of my abilities, but he will be far stronger then he was in canon through something from the bleach anime which is called 'Zanpakuto' a sword spirit.
Do not worry, I have an idea with the zanpakutos and the idea of sword saints so don't worry.
The story is made between me and my co author unlimitedblades and is beta read by my boy ZergPsycho.
So show this story some love because me and unlimited work hard to bring you guys content.

In a small commercial sized fighter jet is flying through the air towards a place that isn't typically connected without aerial assistance from the flying machines named bullheads.
It was small, smaller than an average bullhead for commercial use due to the bullhead being specifically used for by Beacon Academy.
An educational institution that was formed to train and hone the skills of the world's protectors, the school is meant to be the shining beacon of the world that told them they will protect them from monsters of darkness called Creatures of Grimm.
The flying machine slowly approached the docks that connected the entrance of the complex that housed the beacon to which a blonde woman in a pencil skirt, white blouse, a black exterior and a purple interior tattered cape.
The green eyed woman stared at the approaching bullhead with all the seriousness that she can muster when meeting a sword saint which was an accomplishment in itself.
A sword saint in recent years has been a job title of a specific warrior that seems to be in parallel with that of a huntsman and huntress yet they were specifically trained within a singular family.
How they are different than modern huntsman was due to a variety of factors, one is that all Sword Saints carried a singular or dual bladed weapons, specifically swords, but they aren't any ordinary swords but weapons imbued with ancient magic or so says the legends but legends and stories can be wrong at some points.
Glynda Goodwitch slowly watched as the bullhead landed on the docks and it opened, the blonde woman slowly adjusted her outfit ready to meet with the man scheduled to be met with only to see a man in a pilot's uniform run out of the bullhead "Oh my Oum! No one told me that he had motion sickness!" He said as he ran past the blonde huntress.
The green eyed witch blinked as she watched the brown haired pilot run out of sight then her eyes flickers to the flying machine where a man in blue jeans, sneakers, a black and white pumpkin Pete's hoodie which was a bit funny for the man to wear though he has an admittedly beautiful pink floral kimono that was mistralian designed.
The blonde man has a sword tied to his back which the sheath is hidden effectively underneath the pink kimono so the blonde woman couldn't see the sheath itself, the weapon's grip however was visible which was a bright yellow grip with the hilt being a rather basic rectangular shape.
Glynda inhaled then exhaled as she had a job to do so straightening up "Good evening Mr…Arc?" She said to watch as the kimono wearing man dashed past her to grasp a trash can several feet away and vomited into it.
The huntress simply stared at the blonde man with a drop of sweat falling down as she heard stories of the destructive capabilities of a sword saint and how they are constantly trying to be recruited by atlas, but this isn't what she thought a sword saint be, goofy and dorky in a way instead of overly serious and no nonsense.
It kinda made the blonde boy more approachable, The blonde woman starts walking towards him with her heels clicking in the Stone path " , I presume?" She asked again to see if he was the man she was meant to meet.
"Y-Yeah, that's m-me…ugh, sorry" Jaune said as he slowly fell to his knees while clutching the trash can "I…ugh, I have air sickness…" the swordsman informed.
The woman seemed to smile lightly as she knew air sickness was common for those who didn't travel by vehicle or bullhead "It's fine, , Air Sickness is common outside of the kingdoms"
"Someone finally understands my plight….ugh" The swordsman said as he slowly pushed himself upwards from the can then looked over at the blonde, his smile soon graced his face "It's a pleasure to meet you Professor but I'm unsure why I'm being called here one day before the requested time"
Glynda gave a nod at him as her smile fell into a neutral look "That's understandable but we found something interesting in your transcripts and the headmaster would like to speak to you directly about it"
The blonde man paled and had a very very nervous smile on his face, Jaune internally was screaming that he was found out and he was going to get whacked by the professors of beacon, mafia style, since they discovered that his transcripts were false.
"I-Is that so?…W-what exactly did you find?" Jaune asked as he was deeply sure he was gonna get attacked for sneaking his way into the top huntsman school in the entirety of the Valean kingdom.
Glynda seemed to notice that the blonde man looked really nervous so she smiled at him as if to decrease his nervousness "It's fine , all Professor Ozpin wants is to talk to you about your transcripts "
"G-Got it…Miss." The swordsman said as he started following the blonde woman down the pathway to a rather large tower in the center of the academy and at the top is where Ozpin's Office is located.
Glynda kept glancing at her side to see the blonde man's weapon, it's been a common fact that a sword saint possessed a magical sword theorized to have been dated thousands of years, even perhaps in Ozpin's time, Atlas tried their best to recruit the family that owns the swords or even tried to forcibly take the weapons under the guise of keeping them out of civilian hands.
That however ended up with an event called the Hellfire Horizon, for 12 Hours, the horizon from all the kingdoms saw a sea of flames and the heavy units from Atlas was reported to have been incinerated into nothing.
The other three kingdoms really laid on their disappointment and rage against the technologically superior kingdom for pissing off what is arguably the strongest sword saint in Remnant History, one who could easily burn away a whole kingdom if they ticked off the man.
The green eyed woman knew a sword saint was powerful but each one is different due to their magic sword "So, , how long have you been a sword saint?" Glynda spoke as to try and lessen the silence.
Jaune stroked his chin lightly while his gloved right hand as if to think "I believe ive been a sword saint for a little over 3 years, while my education was important, my studies as a sword saint and training were equally important, maybe even more so because my family has been doing this for well over 500 years"
The huntress nodded at this and accepted it was fact, Jaune however was lying through his teeth though the fact he didn't lie about his work to be a warrior of his family line, he simply lied he was being trained in a legal institution.
It took 20 minutes to get from the Stone pathway into the elevator that is taking the two of them quickly towards the top of the tower, Jaune kept glancing around to the surroundings and his nervously placed his left hand onto the butt of his sword as a sort of mental insurance that he could 'possibly' escape but that wasn't possible for two of the best hunters of Vale.
The door to the elevator opened to reveal a short hallway and a set of double doors which the two approached though just before they reached the doors, Glynda turned and stood in front of the blonde man "Now then , do try and be respectful, Professor Ozpin is taking a lot of risks by doing this"
Jaune wondered what the woman meant by that but he didn't have time to dwell on it as she knocked three times on the wooden door, three hard and precise knocks, professional in a way.
"Come in Glynda" said a muffled but dignified voice from behind the doors which she opened, showing herself and the Sword Saint into the room.
Jaune walked in just behind the blonde woman and saw the office, clockwork gears ticking and clocks, it held the meaning that 'time is indifferent or has no consequence to me' though the swordsman shouldn't shoot down other people's choices of office, primarily because Jaune didn't have an office.
Glynda stood at attention in front of a man wearing a green suit and has a cane laying next to the man's glass desk, the man took a sip from a coffee mug that had the valean logo on it "Sir, I brought as you instructed"
"I see, thank you Glynda." The man said and thanked before his calculating eyes landed on Jaune who also reached the glass desk but unlike before, Jaune visibly tensed as if he was being watched by a more superior warrior.
Like the blonde boy was under the gaze of his father again.
The man named Ozpin narrowed his eyes from above the pair of black shades he has on his face but smiling after a moment "Thank you for answering my summons , though I suppose after all the time you spent in the woods then you'd like for me to cut straight to the point? Though if not I can get you a cup of coffee"
"To the point sir" Jaune said as he found out that he hated people who beat around the bush, his younger sisters usually were like that but in combat situations, no one had time when life was on the line.
The silver haired headmaster seemed to nod and appreciated Jaunes desire to get to the point "Very well then, , I found something very very interesting with your transcripts"
'Oh god, he's gonna tie my ankles with cinder blocks and push me off the tower's roof…' Jaune thought to himself.
The silver haired man taps on his scroll on the glass desk and brought up the 'Transcripts' that Jaune had submitted to get into the student roster of the school "I've overlooked your transcripts and I've shown them to everyone in Beacon and they were all deeply impressed, as am I"
'What?' Jaune thought before speaking out loud "T-thank you, headmaster" Jaune simply said that because he didn't want to sound like he doesn't know what the man was talking about when in reality, the blonde swordsman was deeply confused on what the hell Ozpin was talking about.
"Of course, however the reason why I wanted to meet you was to discuss something rather important but I must ask you a question, you applied to beacon to become a student, yes?" The silver haired man questioned.
The blonde swordsman was unsure what Ozpin was thinking "Uh…yeah, that's uh…why I applied in the first place…why?"
Ozpin seemed to nod at this though he looked over to glynda who nodded at him " , I cannot grant you a spot in beacon academy-" The headmaster exclaimed causing Jaune to shout out.
"WHAT!?" The blonde man shouted.
" , allow me to expla-"
"BUT YOU'VE ALREADY SENT THE ACCEPTANCE LETTER!" More shouting from the Sword Saint.
" , Please stop shouting and allow me to explain my reason" The green suited man said.
Jaune, while already knowing he was being refused to enter beacon academy, decided to act his anger because in reality, he was as light as a leaf in both fear and relief.
The Silver Fox nodded against as Jaune remained silent "Ok, let me explain, I won't allow you to enter beacon as a student because your transcripts are incredibly impressive and it would be a disservice to allow you to enter as an ordinary student"
"What?" That was all Jaune could muster as his gut started to wretch even more than it was when he was being 'disbarred' from entering beacon.
" , i would like to offer you a job here at Beacon Academy" the headmaster clarified.
The blonde man looked shocked and was resetting his mental state, so he was being rejected as a student but he was being offered a job into the actual academy 'Holy fuck! Just how good were these transcripts that fucking Ozpin was offering a job a instead' "A-are you sure sir? I mean..I have no teaching experience, I haven't even shown you my resume"
"Yes, that is apparent and not needed but if you do accept the offer, I would make you into an assistant teacher" The silver man said.
The gloved blonde kept thinking for a few minutes then asked "If I don't want the job, am I still rejected?"
"I'm afraid so, after the acceptance letters are sent, me and Glynda looks at the transcripts more clearly when we determine where the students will be assigned for initiation which allowed us to see yours, you are obviously overqualified to enter beacon but if you do not want the job then I can submit your records to Atlas, they would be more than happy to accept you" Ozpin explained Jaune's options which the blonde man seemed to nod as this is all he really could do because he wanted to extend his efforts and operations on a legal level within the kingdoms but that needed to attend and graduate the academy.
The blonde swordsman seemed to sigh before shaking his head "I'll take the job, at least with my time in beacon, I can study on my own and I'll get a paycheck..right?" Jaune asked the headmaster of the institution.
Ozpin nodded at the boy "Yes, you'll be given a salary during your employment here, welcome , May I call you Jaune? Since we will be working together here in the foreseeable future" the man said as he started pulling out a few pieces of paperwork from Oum knows where.
The blonde man nodded as he didn't mind people using his name, The silver man gave a nod in return "So Jaune, I just need you to sign some paperwork then we can get you included into the staff roster and Glynda here can escort you to the Staff Lounge to meet with the rest of the staff then get you to your room because we all have a lot of work to do tomorrow with Initiation."
Ozpin continues to explain what is to be expected while the blonde man simply signs his signature onto the paperwork and so forth until another question was directed at the swordsman "But before you go Jaune, I would like a bit of information on your weapon to ensure you'll don't surprise anyone of us when you fight to defend beacon and our students."
The blonde swordsman finished the paperwork and gave that back to the silver haired headmaster "That seems fair, ok, my weapon is called Priscilla also known as the Demon Stealth Killer, she's a melee type weapon that allows me to utilize voices and compress them into shockwave strikes with enough force to flatten stone"
"Is that all?" Ozpin asked as he moved forward slightly as he was getting interested.
"No but that is the main bulk of her skill set and don't take this the wrong way Profess-" Jaune started to say but was interrupted.
"Ozpin" The headmaster gave his own name because he didn't want to feel that their level of familiarity is only one sided.
"-Ozpin-but even if do work together form this point forward, you'll have to earn the knowledge of my weapon because my father told me to keep quiet on my abilities to ensure if my sword 'does' end up in enemy hands then they won't be able to access her power" Jaune explained the reason to keep his explanation of his weapon rather vague at best was under a very reasonable need to keep enemies from using his sweapon against him which included that the weapon could be used by anyone but the sword had a special tie to its original user.
The silver haired man seemed to nod at this having understood the need to keep the secrets of one's own power, he himself has done so for a long time "Understandable Jaune, I too have similar desires for my own…semblance, but anyway! Welcome to Beacon Academy, we will explain everyone's duties tomorrow when the prospect students begin to arrive so Glynda, escort Jaune to the Staff Lounge and do try to keep Peter's stories to a minimum…we don't need a repeat of " The silver headmaster said which the green eyed huntress seemed to nod but held a disgusted look.
Several years ago, they had an addition to the beacon staff roster however that addition quit their employment after two whole days because the cause was that Charles Goldfinch was subject to what he believed was torture at listening to 'Peter's' stories.
"Understood Sir, Jaune if you would follow me" Glynda began to say as she started walking towards the double doors.
The kimono wearing man seemed to follow closely behind her as the two entered through the double doors with the intent to go deeper into the academy.
Ozpin sighed as he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes somehow looking even older than before "Sword Saint in over a hundred years and he doesn't trust me enough with even the basics of their own weapon, to be fair, Alex was the same when we first met back then but we did have a common enemy, Yawach was a dangerous foe at the time"
Ozpin turns around as he puts his shades back on and views the expanding horizon 'Now that I have my Knight in place, what will you do now Salam? You've seen first hand what the first Arc could do back then'
Now then,
The teacher and the newest addition are walking in the school with the lounge being the destination "Would I have any specific duties for me or would I just be on hand to assist with paperwork and classes for the other teachers -" The blonde swordsman asked as he mindlessly brought his right hand towards the sword on his back to graze the grip.
A habit that the blonde man developed while he wandered the woods during the last couple years.
"Please, Call me Glynda since as Ozpin said, we will be working closely from here on out so it would make us more acquainted outside of work hours, only call me Professor Goodwitch when we are teaching classes. Would that be alright?" She said as she looked to her side where Jaune simply nodded since he doesn't see any problems with such things "And the answer to your question Jaune, no, outside of assisting me and others during our own classes, paperwork, delivering things and so forth, you don't have any duties specifically tied to you unless you request that you teach a class of your own to Ozpin"
"Professor Ozpin may seem like a rather detached man-" Glynda started to talk or lecture to the blonde man and went down to her own personal thoughts on the head of beacon, Jaune had already noticed that the silver man was rather different then most, almost like he was hardly even there.
Jaune's Father, Arthur Arc, was insistent that the younger arc child listened to his guts and instincts because they served them very very well.
"-But he does look after the staff and students to the best he can but he has a lot on his plate in between the rise of White Fang Activities within the Valean Kingdom, the sudden rise of Grimm around the kingdom and he's also being yelled at by the Council about the robberies on dust all across the kingdom, specifically close to Vale City." She explained deeper about the man's actions from the past few weeks to the present day then muttered under her breath "But I could spend my days stressing less if he didn't dump a lot of his work on me to drink coffee and goof off with the security system…"
Jaune wanted to laugh at that last bit but his mind was tied to the last two aspects of her lecture, the sudden rise of Grimm activity and the dust robberies, both of which existed for a long time however the rise of both aspects simultaneously was suspicious and the swordsman began to feel that the two was rather tied together.
The blonde boy already knew that Grimm were far more intelligent than humans and Faunus with only instincts to guide them.
However some time ago, Jaune was deep in the forest almost hitting the shores of Sanus and he encountered a large settlement of bandits that managed to control Grimm or tame them enough to command their power but that sort of knowledge is far too dangerous to be let loose on the civilized public of the kingdoms so the blonde boy destroyed the settlement and killed every single bandit to ensure such knowledge dies with them.
The blonde knows Grimm can be tamed but without a present master then how can they operate with high intelligence without a pack leader, this is what the Blonde Sword Saint has yet to figure out.
Maybe the Grimm has a queen.
Jaune chuckled underneath his breath over that absurd possibility "I don't typically use dust during my travels because of my weapon but I do know dust is needed for society to function and the sudden robberies is going to push Dust Prices higher and a lot of people from low income households are already struggling to obtain enough dust just to power their homes. But I have no slightest clue why they need stores worth of dust"
"Neither have I and Ozpin is unable to figure out what they need that much dust for, me and him had already begun to suspect that amount of dust could easily fund a militia so that put Vale under high alert for a possible attack" The purple caped woman gave her thoughts on the possibility of an attack on the kingdom.
The two beacon Professor and Professor's assistant was now standing in front of another door "Here we are Jaune, the lounge, this is where we will introduce him you to rest of Beacon's staff" Glynda explained to the blonde man who gulped lightly as he was beginning to become slightly nervous on meeting them and one of them is smart enough to see through his disguise.
