Switching off his scroll, Josh realised that Alexandra was right, he'd need to get much better if he was to actually stand a chance against the White Fang, though he figured that would take care of itself out in the field, it wasn't like he was completely inexperienced.
He went to his training room (his family owned a big house), and came to a display of swords and shields hanging on the wall. Picking out his ones, he walked upstairs to his father's study, and knocked the large wooden door.
"Father?" He asked, "are you there?"
"Of course, Josh," boomed his father from in inside, "what do you need?"
Josh pushed the door open to find his father at his desk, half-hidden by the suprising amount of paperwork that came with being a captain in the Atlesian Army.
"Dad.. I've been thinking," Josh began
Josh's father's eyes widened as a mock look of horror spread across his face, "you've been thinking? Who are you, and what've you done with my son?"
The two laughed for a bit before Josh continued, "I want to do something about Beacon's state, to help with the Grimm problem. I want to join the soldiers and huntsmen helping keep Grimm out of Beacon."
His father looked at him, "it's certainly a dangerous prospect," he mused, "and one your mother will definitely not be a fan of."
"But you are?" Josh asked hopefully, and stared for a few seconds.
"Of course!" Josh's father laughed, "it'll be great for my son to actually get out of the house and do something for a change."
"But you aren't worried about the dangers?" Josh asked
"Of course not," his father laughed, "I'm sure any son of mine will be fully capable of taking care of himself! Heck, I could take you and your teammates with me on the dangerous missions that our normal soldiers can't survive, it'd be great to have some extra help!"
And for the first time ever, Josh regretted burning those report papers
