A/N- sorry I wasn't able to write for the last two days, I'm back to work and my education is reaching a critical point with assignments due and exams within the next two weeks so I needed some time to work it out. Things may be a bit sporadic but I will try to release as much as I can. Sincerely Smith~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After making it back to the hotel room I slowly removed my armour and got to witness the purple bruises on my skin. *whiiiiish* I drew in a breath when I stretched to much in one direction. The explosion that knocked me into a car and the advanced gymnastics I did atop the bullhead took their tole. This is why you always stretch out kids~
I got fully undressed and checked myself out in the mirror. No evident wounds but only bruising which I can take care off. Aura is on the lower end of my reserves right now so it's best to do it patiently. I went to my medical bag and fetched a cream to reduce swelling and bruising before gently applying it.
After that I sat myself down on the bed and regulated my breath to calm down. Being in battle mode for too long isn't good for your health. I let out a sigh of relief as I felt the tingle kick in from the cream instantly relieving my pain.
I whipped out my scroll and saw footage of me already uploaded online. SMH I'm going to be blasted with messages in a few hours. I flipped over to another app and started watching some videos. After that I went for a bath and got some sleep.
The next morning I was fully healed thanks to my aura refilling in my sleep and doing the work for me. I then got to maintenance on all my gear and my bike. I looked for possible upgrades and new gun mods online before seeing if I could get my hands on them today. There isn't an Amazon Now! In remnant so I can't get parts as soon as I want them.
I continued training in the hotel gym whilst being ogled by all the beacon students returning to the academy like a piece of meat. The bandana I had tied around my head during a workout obscures my identity but my ripped torso still drew in women's lustful gazes and men's envious ones. I even heard "where's your body fat?!?" In the background so I said "on your mama's ass to give me some extra padding at night." I didn't shout it but said it casually so he didn't hear me from his side of the room.
Those within the vicinity certainly reacted though, own girl dropped her dumbbell to cover her mouth and one guy spat out his protein shake when he heard me. While I got back to my reps their gym buddies came up to ask what was so funny. That guy I insulted was laughed out of the gym. After the workout I went and got some oatmeal before going on a walk. The city of vale is nice at night but I'd prefer if all the people weren't questioning each other constantly about another dust robbery.
Getting back to the room I enjoyed my final night of sleep before setting off to beacon the next morning. After going through my routine i stood infront of my luggage and contemplated my outfit. Because I had grown substantially from four years ago to a whopping 6ft 4 most people don't recognise me. Adding on that I'm not in Mistral reduces my identity some more. Then again I am surrounded by hunters in training who like to be in the know.
I saw all my weapons on the bed shining at me as if screaming "pick me!" But I don't want to show off on the first day. It's only an orientation after all, It also says to be in casual wear yet I remember people turning up in their combat outfits. Ah fuck it! I grabbed a black muscle fit t-shirt with my family crest on it, a black pair of jeans and a nice black belt with a silver buckle.
After dressing in that I slipped on some black sneakers and then reached for something really special. The last thing I watched before my death was rwby and falcon and the winter soldier. So when I saw this in the store I knew I had to have it.
That's right I found the Zemo coat with a dark grey wool blend and a faux fur collar. Underneath the coat I equipped a gun holster and stowed Cayde-6 in it. So if someone reaches for my ass they'll get the ol' six shooter. Six rounds before you need to reload oh yeah!
Looking in the mirror my outfit is a contrast to my blonde hair and sharp facial features. I looked at my other weapons and stowed them away in their cases before leaving the hotel. I reached the bull pen which is what they call a train station or air port. It works for both but anyway I boarded the one heading to beacon which is on the outskirts of Vale.
As I sat on a chair I secretly smirked about how I don't have motion sickness. As I revel in the sights of the city and the forest i hear a tall buxom blonde say "oh i can't believe my baby sister is going to beacon with me! This is the best day ever!"
"Please stop" a smaller girl wearing a leather red riding hood motif begged as she was being crushed. I looked over this worlds main cast and liked what I saw. They look more life like now compared to the show but they are both clearly Caucasian like myself.
Their outfits are also the exact same as the show and I noticed the weapons that they didn't hide very well. Yang spotted two sunny yellow gravers and had shotgun shells exposed on her outfit while ruby had sniper rounds in a pouch on her corset.
"I'm so proud of you!" "Really sis it was nothing"
"What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at beacons gonna think your the bees knees".
" I don't wanna be the bees knees or any kinda knees. I just wanna be a normal girl with normal knees" she complained while I had to stifle a scoff. She has one of the most lethal weapons on the planet and some ancient back ground as a silver eyed warrior. Not to mention the reason she was sent here in the first place, stopping an armed robbery. If she wanted to be normal she should have stayed at patch I thought as the sisters continued their conversation.
Alas she will probably never be "normal" but she does seem like she'll make a good companion. Sticking near here means I get to face salem directly as she will always hunt a silver eyes warrior.
The scroll tv began broadcasting news about Roman Torchwick, his backstory is a lot more dake than most people considered. He was a beacon student who did very well until he moved to mount Glenn. As he lived there the whole Grimm incident occurred and he saved Neopolitan there.
After surviving he tried to find new work but once someone checked his previous employment and saw Mount Glenn, he was never hired. He was traumatised by the events that day and now he had a kid to feed. The trauma also resulted in him never fully unlocking his semblance so he couldn't really progress as a hunter even if he found work.
How do I know? Well neo is one of the people in my gamer group. We all know a fair bit about each other's personal lives. People love to vent when it's anonymous after all. Neo speaks about her worries concerning Roman, Winter talks about her familial problems and asks for advice, Ilia asks questions about her identity as a faunus, how she left Atlas and sometimes about her sexuality. It's kinda heavy stuff but I try to give good advice.
It seems effective enough as Neo swapped time sugar free ice cream, Winter somehow got her mother to swap to drinks with a lower alcohol content and Ilia left the white fang and works for Ghira. They aren't the only people in our group as I added Arslan and Pyrrha later on when they asked about how I de-stressed and trained strategy. Once I started adding people the others did too so now our group has about 43 members scattered all over the globe.
Everyone has met someone in the group in person and are all open to helping each other. For example a girl from Vacuo called Scara Tempest was being harassed by someone from shade to go out with her. The six members from the group who lived nearby including Arslan and had huntsmen training paid the guy a visit. Now Scara can go about her life without being harassed by some horndog.
Once she posted her thanks in the chat and the other questioned it, the act quickly became a trend. Ilia even helped Winter identify a few faunus haters in high places that she learned about during her stay in Atlas. Honestly I'm thinking I could make my own flag smashers or something. Who knows? Maybe we could take down the Atlas council and the schnee company one day.
As I moved onto thoughts about faunus haters the screen began speaking about the white fang. I sighed and chose to drink a Capri sun I bought at the bull pen instead of lisenting to that drivel. Glynda Goodwitch was then projected on the screen and began her speech about how beacon students should behave and what the activities should be.
I listened in and waited till we landed, as I stepped out of the bullhead the wind breezes on me and makes my coat flap. I took in the view of the castle and was mesmerised, I wonder if this is what going to hogwarts feels like. In the background I could have sworn I heard an old man scream "you know nothing Jaune arc!" I got the same vibes as when I met thor for a split second.
I was snapped out of my reverie when I heard a *kaboom*. I turned and saw ruby smoking in a crater looking like she was about cry followed by the schnee heiress storming off. When the poor girl tried to make conversation with the obvious cat Faunus she was left with no response. I sighed and walked up to her.
"Need a hand miss? Looks like you got real bad nerves." I said as I extended my hand to her. She twitches as if not being used to social contact before gingerly grasping my hand and allowing me to pull her up.
She chuckles and pats herself down "you could say that". I smile "I don't really know how else to explain someone blowing themselves up with a sneeze?"
"Hey!!" She shouted and poured while I laughed "well now your nerves are gone, my names Jaune Arc." "I'm ruby rose, it's nice to know your name. My sister just called you Stoic Stud."
"Oh? Nicknames huh, can I call you crater face?" She harrumphed at me. We then began walking and making small talk.
"Your names rings a bell for me Jaune, have we met before?" "No but I used to be on TV for a bit". "Really? What did you do?" "Mistral festival a few years back". I stated while she began pondering.
"Hmmm maybe you had a cool weapon or something. I have this thing" she said before releasing her scythe and stabbing it into the ground.
"A high impact sniper rifle mixed with a farming tool? Inventive!" I said causing her to giggle "a farming tool he says, how about you".
I then pulled cayde-6 out of his holster and her eyes began to sparkle as she blitzed around my gun inspection it's every aspect. "OMG is that an Atlesian Hand Cannon! You've modified it a lot, this has several modes of bullet fire. A non lethal, an extreme lethal and different elements right?"
I smirked "yeah my Cayde-6 is pretty awesome. I have other weapons stored away which I'll show you later." She then stared into my soul "tell me what they are please?!?!?" She begged and frantically shook my arm. She has a fair bit of strength hidden away.
" two baton/ axes and a shield" "A shield? now that really rings a bell. Ahhhhh why can't I remember?!?"
I just kept laughing at how reactive she is to every little thing. She then stopped as she heard the bell tower chime. "Jaune do you know where the observatory is?" "Yeah probably the biggest building with the doors slowly closing". "What?!?!" She screamed before turning into rose petals and dashing to the door.
I smirked before speeding over myself, I couldn't go top speed because of the coat. Suffering for fashion as they say~ after slipping into the auditorium I saw Ruby turn to look at me with wonder in her eyes. "Fast" she mumbled before I tapped her causing her to zone back in. "I think that blonde girl is looking for you, is that your sister?"
I asked as she nodded before asking em back "how did you know?" "Your both beautiful and have some similarities. Well I'll see you around ruby" I said before walking away as her face went strawberry for being complimented. When yang walked upto her "you ok sis?" She muttered absentmindedly "he called me beautiful" causing yang to snap to attention. Someone already has eyes on her sister?!?!
Like the kind hearted person she is she started to shake her sister down for details. Who is this guy, what's he look like, he's single so why didn't she get his attention first?! So many questions needed to be asked. Meanwhile Jaune was trying to find Pyrrha, he messaged her on the scroll and she replied she was in a corner somewhere surrounded by her "fans". I messaged her 😙 and sucks to be you before she replied that I was going to get it later.
I chuckled as the rooms lights dimmed and some dull looking guy walked to the light to being speaking.
