When he was surrounded by the group he decided to take on alone, Katrina jumped into the fray, pulled Chris out, and was ripped to shreds in front of team WICK. Sometime after Katrina's death however, he lost that enjoyment and felt like he should help the next generation of hunters and huntresses. He waited up until the day before classes at Beacon started for an answer, when he didn't get one; Will decided to go back out into the field and continue doing his duty as a Hunter. When the Vytal Festival started gearing up, he headed to Vale to not only meet his family, but to make sure Chris and his daughter were okay.

Realizing was up, he went straight to Beacon; so he could get some answers about what was going on.
