Walking across a dangerous rope

"I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you are finished you plan to dedicate your life to protecting the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, and direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this. But your time at this academy will prove, to 'you' that knowledge can only carry you so far... It is up to you to take the first step." During the middle of his speech, Ozpin saw 1 youngster that was different from the rest of them... Ozpin can tell she has killed before and She wore her bloodlust like a damn coat.

Ozpin concluded that she has killed so many people she can no longer hide all of that thirst for blood. Ozpin with his spirit sight can see only what he can describe as a demon. He saw thousands of wailing and fearful faces screaming in agony among the red mist. The red mist can only be seen by certain types of people and Ozpin saw a hellscape among the invisible red mist known as a bloodlust aura.

'Such a sickly and evil aura... Her Aura is tainted beyond repair. I hope she is here to amend her past deeds... I shudder at any other possibility.' Ozpin knows that such an Aura grants immense power compared to a normal Aura but people tend to get lost and drown in that kind of power. Such an Aura is made from the grudges of the dead the person killed.

Exu hides in the shadows reading her book. Exu who has lived in darkness for 10 years has perfect night vision. Her eyes have adjusted to both darkness and light she can see in complete darkness and in light. Blake notices Exu who has no issue reading in pitch-black darkness.

"Hey, why are you alone?" Blake asks. Blake can tell Exu can see in complete darkness so doesn't ask a stupid question such as how can you read without a light.

"I could ask the same thing of you... You were reading a book with dim candlelight..." Exu notices Ruby and Yang coming over.

"HELLO~ I believe you two may know each other" Yang greets in a sing-song voice.

"Aren't you the girl that exploded?" Blake asks.

"Uh... Who are you? Also, why are you two over here in the dark? You guys making out?" Yang asks since she doesn't recognize Exu who is in disguise but also playfully asks if they are a couple.

"No." Exu denies that they are making out. Blake wilts like a flower for a split second because Blake is actually very attracted to Exu and wouldn't mind making out in the dark with her.

"We're not a couple... yet..." Blake says they aren't a couple but whispers yet since Blake intends to get to know Exu and hopefully it goes from friends to girlfriends. There is something about Exu that Blake finds Irresistible. The mysterious air around Exu is the greatest factor in Blake's infatuation.

Exu has a minuscule lift of an eyebrow since she heard Blake's tiny whisper of 'yet' but shakes her head and walks away intending to go to sleep.

(NOOOO! My Waifu has fallen for my friend!) Jason throws a tantrum inside Exu's jacket pocket and mock cries.

'Quiet tea cup ghost... I'm going to sleep!' Exu goes to sleep on the ground since she didn't bother getting a sleeping bag. Exu has slept in far more uncomfortable places and ground that is carpeted is fine with her.

Exu falls asleep and wakes up without it showing on her face since she heard someone lay their sleeping bag right beside her... It's Blake. Exu was going to do a silent takedown if it was a boy and hang him on a lamppost but noticed it was just the kitty.

Exu waits for Blake to fall asleep and then goes away and sneaks out of Beacon and arrives at her hideout she gears up in her Wild Operation outfit. She presses the button on her wrist and her disguise disappears revealing her true identity.

Blake runs around with Yang and Ruby trying to find Saphire but they don't see her Ruby suggests she might not even be inside Beacon and so they search out in the city. They find her alright but they don't know it's her. Blake knows three of Exu's Identities one is a famous singer/author, Snow Phantom, and Punisher. They see Exu putting a sniper rifle together and singing a song called When she cries by Britt Nicole and changes a part of the lyrics so that instead of He hears her it's she hears her. She also changes the god part of the lyrics by singing that she is watching over you from above.

Ozpin also noticed one of his new students is gone and finds Yang Ruby Blake then sees one of his Ex-Wife's chess pieces namely the Knight Piece and closes his eyes and hears the sorrowful lyrics but one thing gave her away immediately now he knows he has found 'his' student... Her tainted Aura gave her away completely.

Ozpin walks over and points his finger at Exu and Exu turns her Lifeless eyes to him causing him to feel that this world failed this poor child. He dispels the Collar of Subordination and loses his magic forever.

Over at the Grimm Lands.

"SHE WAS MINE! HOW DARE YOU OZMA!" Salem roars causing windows to shatter.

"This changes nothing... I still have to go along with 'her' plans for Beacon." Exu's lifeless gaze has a small amount of light returned to them.

"I understand. I only ask you to stop aiding her after she achieves her goals for what lies beneath Beacon." Ozpin knows what Salem wants but he also hopes to take away a chess piece from her.

"Not a problem... After Vale, I will not aid her anymore. You have my word." Exu continues singing When she cries by Britt Nicole. After she sings she looks down the scope.

"Are you going to continue killing all the gangs in Vale?" Ozpin sees what she is up to.

"... I do the one thing the police can't. If they are arrested then a year a month a week a day later their back on the streets doing the same goddamn thing!" Exu speaks with Venom in her voice.

"So you would just put them in the morgue huh? You are walking across a dangerous rope miss Exusiai you should pray you don't fall off and become the same thing as your targets." Ozpin walks away.

"Oh before I leave you to your shooting Gallery... You are always welcome to take up residence in my home." Ozpin has seen many people just like Exu and what they need and want the most is a safe place.

"..." 'I belong nowhere old man... Your half-hearted kindness is wasted' Exu pulls the trigger paying zero attention to Ruby Yang and Blake.

"Cousin... Can't you just stop this and come hom-" Ruby couldn't finish her words as Exu jumps off the building and vanished.
