Devil of Remnant

RWBY 1

Vergil Sparda. A young man well known throughout the lands. Known for his unmatched abilities with a blade. Known for being quite possibly the most proficient bounty hunter on Remnant. Not once has he failed to uphold his part of a request. Even through hell and high water, Vergil has never been defeated. Now, he is going to receive an offer from a certain wizard.

Elderly Man: Oh, thank the heavens! You rescued us from those awful beowolves!

Elderly Woman: We owe you our sincerest gratitude, young man!

The old couple bow their heads towards the expressionless Dark Slayer, who shakes his head.

Vergil: I simply did my job. Now, I shall move on for more work. Make sure you are more careful when traveling during the night.

Elderly Man: We will, thank you so much.

Leaving the two with a slight nod, Vergil turns away from their small home, his blue coat flowing through the wind, as he leaves the village. While he follows a dirt path to wherever it may lead him, an odd-looking crow flies overhead, and dives down towards Vergil. Going behind some trees before reaching the ground, the bird is replaced by a certain drunk.

Qrow: Got another job done, eh?

Looking over his shoulder, Vergil turns to face the man.

Vergil: Qrow. What can I do for you today?

Qrow: Got a message for ya. Ol' Ozpin wants you to come meet him at Beacon.

As he tilts his head, Vergil lets out a sigh.

Vergil: I was at Vale just last week, and now he wants me?

Qrow: Yup. I think you probably know what it's about.

Vergil: ...Fine, I'll humor him. Thanks for letting me know.

Qrow: Heh, no problem. Well, I gotta go, just finished a job of my own and I need a drink.

Vergil: Of course.

With no misstep, Vergil uses his signature blade, Yamato, to slice through the air behind him, forming a blue portal.

Vergil: Don't get in any trouble. We don't need a repeat of last month.

Qrow: I was drunk, what did you expect?

Vergil: You're always drunk.

Without hearing a response from the huntsman, the Dark Slayer goes into his portal, disappearing before Qrow's eyes.

Upon receiving the invitation from the headmaster of Beacon Academy, Vergil sits in a room, waiting patiently. As he waits in the cubical space, he looks down towards the form of Yamato at his side. He hears approaching footsteps, and the door to the room opens to reveal one Professor Ozpin, as well as a blond woman holding a riding crop.

Ozpin: You must be Vergil. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Immediately, Vergil narrows his eyes at him, though his neutral expression doesn't change.

Vergil: Let me guess, Qrow told you about me.

Ozpin, while chuckling to himself, places a cup on the table.

Ozpin: I don't mean to come off as rude. Would you like some tea?

After a brief silence, Vergil relaxes.

Vergil: Very well.

Letting go of Yamato, he takes the cup, and takes a sip.

Vergil: I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. And Glynda Goodwitch. It's been a while since we've seen each other.
