The process hadn't taken as long as Neo would have thought. She felt a steady and budding stream of magic energy flow into her chest, where her heart is. The beating of her heart felt stronger. Her entire body felt stronger. Her elemental magic talent took a sharp hike upwards and strengthened her lightning magic. Though it felt incomplete, she knew why though, knowing Cinder stole the other half. Taking a deep breath and breathing out a powerful electrical exhale, she finally stepped out.
If she were to accurately guess how strong the boost was, on top of the magic boost in the atmosphere, she'd say the power she got from just half the Maiden magic as it was currently, was equal to a full Maiden's power. If the other half came to her, she would be equal to two Maiden's in overall magical power. She wasn't a Wizard like in Fairy Tail's mid to end in terms of power but it was a fantastic start.
"How do you feel? Any problems?" Ozpin asked with growing interest.
"Nope.. I feel pretty awesome. Hey, in the Fairy Tail of the Maidens.. You were the one who gave them their powers, right? And you still had magic leftover from that transfer?" Neo gave him an impressed expression as Ozpin shot her a knowing smile.
"You're right. I did transfer over my magic to those girls. They.. reminded me of my children, so long ago. Perhaps they were reincarnated too..?" Ozpin smiled to himself and got lost in thought.
"Huh.. you never told me, Oz. Well, come on, let's head back up. Your team's probably nursing some bad 'headaches' right now" Qrow chuckled to himself as they returned to the main floor of Beacon.
"I have a favor to ask before I go back, Headmaster. I want to train teams RWBY and JNPR in magic. Seeing as how I have some experience in it, I should be able to help them" Neo watched as the gears in Ozpin's head turned.
"I have placed a good deal of importance on your teams. I see as much potential in you as I did in team STRQ. You can train them, but only in a secluded location. I do not need to tell you we have enemies at our doorstep and letting them know of your talents would be detrimental to us" Ozpin hummed and looked Neo over before a gleam passed through his glasses.
"I have a good area for you to train in. It's optimal and far away from prying eyes. Qrow and Raven will go with you. You leave today. Your teams will leave in four hours to the Bullhead platform 'B'" Ozpin pushed his glasses up, which gave Neo a flashback to multiple anime she's seen before.
"O-Okay? Anything else?" Neo was still taken back by his shift in tone. It seemed playful but mischievous.
"Yes. It will be at the NorthWest of Vale, close to Vacuo. Ah.. bring summer wear, Sun sprotection lotion, swimwear and towels" Ozpin finished with a smile and walked away, pulling his scroll out to make arrangements.
"Wait. We're going to a beach?" Neo looked at Qrow, who lit up in happiness.
"Yes! I haven't had a vacation in years.. YEARS, kid!" Qrow pumped his arms.
"Guess I'll go tell the gang?" Neo started to make her way to the dorm when she heard the system notification.
[Ding! Special Beach OVA!

-Have an onsen ecchi scene!
Rewards: -Shirou Emiya cooking skill!
-Toriko martial art: Nail punch!
FAILURE: -Rito Yuuki's lucky pervert tripping]
She almost dropped on her face when she saw the punishment for failing. The epic passive effect Rito has that somehow made Rito fall face first into two asses. That kind of nonsensical power was even more absurd than any Noble Phantasm or Reality bending ability. It defied physics and probability on a daily basis. Neo remembered the OVA when Rito was cloned and his 'power' was magnified like he used Kaio-Ken times a hundred. She shuddered at the implications it would mean later on. If it came true, she'd be just like those harem protagonists she disliked.
"NO.. never. I refuse such cliche but amazing powers.." Neo leaned against the wall and slid her hand down her face, hearing another notification.
[>Icecreambae: What is this quest? Are we going to a beach!? What's up with the failure thing?<]
[>Neo²: It's something utterly terrifying.. and yes, everyone in chat and our teams are going to train at the beach. Also we're having fun too<]
[>Spartanwaifu: Oh! That's great! I need to buy a swimsuit! Hurry up and get back here so we can go shop<]
Pyrrha seemed really excited for it. Even more so than Qrow seemed to be.
[>Yangsyummymummy: Training and a vacation? Perfect. When are we going?<]
[>Neo²: In four hours. We're going to meet up at landing platform 'B'<]
[>BoobaphysicsFTW: Oooooooh! I love the beach!! I haven't been in so long!<]
[>Neo²: Yeah I'll be there soon<]
[>Prettykitty: This tail is going to make getting a swimsuit difficult<]
Blake sighed at that and stood up, putting her book away. Ninjas of love wasn't doing it for her anymore. She started a sister series of it named 'Forbidden Kunoichi's' she recently got really into, since the character's teasing had reminded her of Neo and her own interactions.
Shaking off the more steamy scenes of the book from her mind, she turned to her groaning team and team _NPR. They were all (with the exception of Ruby, who had gotten a sugar hangover somehow) gotten a hangover, except for herself and Pyrrha, whose purified bodies shrugged off the effects of a hangover.
"Uggggghhhh... kiiiiiiill.... meeeeee.." Yang groaned with her face in her pillow.
"No.. you suffer with us.. it's your fault Truth or Dare happened at all.." Weiss groaned back at her, trying to cool herself with a small fan.
"It was so fun though.." Nora whispered as she remembered back when Ren was half naked, giving her a drunken lap dance on her behest.
Neo then walked in arms spread.
"We're doing some magic training! We got-" Neo stopped as all their scrolls got a notification.
>Ozpin: You all are getting the rest of the time off until the Vytal festival begins. Miss Jasmine will be overseeing your magical training and I will send your work through your scrolls. You will be going to a beach near Vacuo, near a lodge close to a mountain. Be at Landing Platform B in four hours. Do enjoy your training trip -Headmaster Ozpin<
Everyone got that message at once, making Neo shrug.
"So yeah. You guys should probably-" Neo was interrupted by everyone save for Weiss, Blake and Ren shouting.
""""BEACH!!"""" Yang, Ruby, Pyrrha and Nora shouted in excitement.
"Stop.. shouting. My head still hurts!" Weiss glared at them.
~Pyrrha you already knew..~ Neo looked at her partner with an amused grin.
"My twin's coming too. Along with Raven and Shizuka" Neo informed them.
Yang seemed to get more excited now as she pumped her arm up.
"Come on! We gotta get swimsuits!" Yang declared to them, her hangover somehow overpowered by her enthusiasm.
"Okay, fine. Just let me-" Weiss got up but Yang and Ruby grabbed Blake and Weiss and stormed out of their dorms.
Neo turned to Ren, Nora and Pyrrha but Pyrrha and Ren just grabbed Neo just as Yang and Ruby grabbed their partners and followed after them in as much hype as team RWBY.
"You're going to be trying on a bunch of different swimming trunks I'd bet" Neo just casually looked at Ren, who looked back at her.
"You won't escape being a dress-up doll either, Leader" Ren retorted with a small sigh.
"Probably not.." Neo could feel Pyrrha's desire to have her dress up in swimwear from how red in the face she was and the thinking expression she made.
"It's cute though" Neo couldn't lie, it felt nice to be so appealing to the girls she was attracted to.
-Beacon Landing Platform B-
After a long and drawn out shopping spree, they all made it to the Bullhead with large bags. Zwei and Kit were with the group. Zwei on Ruby's bag and Kit on Neo's. Neo looked tired. She had been practically forced into twenty bikinis that Pyrrha, Yang, Blake and even Nora picked. Pyrrha chose ones that showed the most skin. Yang chose ones that emphasized her chest. Blake chose the ones that emphasized her butt. Nora had the most innocent but good looking ones and it was her pick that won. Neo thought Ren was in good hands.
He was not. She immediately picked thirty speedos for him in orange, blue and pink colors. Speedos, Mankinis and other tight swimwear. Neo showed mercy and picked out a regular pair of black and pink trunks for him, much to Nora's dismay.
They got inside the Bullhead and there they saw Raven, Shizuka and Neopolitan, all ready to go. Their eyes focused on Neo as soon as she walked in with the group. Yang immediately went to see her Mom. Pyrrha and Blake were busy showing each other pictures of Neo they took. Nora was complaining about Ren not showing enough ass in the swimwear he chose. Ruby and Weiss were petting Zwei and Kit, who had made friends with the intelligent Corgi. Neo sat next to Neopolitan and whispered in her ear.
"How'd you get away from Cinder?" Neo asked quietly as the Bullhead took off once Qrow arrived.
Neopolitan gave her a devious grin and made a face, along with a few hand gestures. She recounted how she was tracking down 'Mike Hunt' and 'Yorke Hunt'. Along with new names she made up. Such as 'Dick Fitzwell' and 'Hugh G Rechshon'. It made Neo incredibly proud.
The trip took over four hours and finally they landed near an abandoned lodge that Huntsmen used when out in the field for a long period of time. It was surrounded by thick rainforest trees and the area was overgrown. There were no Grimm around, thankfully. Aside from the abandoned lodge, the beach was breathtaking and it was sunny, making it a perfect place to put a resort if Grimm weren't around.
"Okay looks like we have to clean this place up first. Shouldn't be too hard with all these hands.." Qrow muttered, though he was impatient to relax under a beach umbrella. He was already in his swimming trunks.
"Awww..." Ruby sulked, seeing that they have to clean before they have fun or learn magic.
"Gotta do it now. It'll be too dark to do it later and it can get cold at night. Unless you wanted to dogpile in our swimwear for warmth at night?" Neo said as she wrapped her arm around Ruby's neck.
"Ehh.. No.." Ruby made a sour face at the thought of being buried in bodies. Snoring bodies.
"Then put your semblance to good use and help out" Raven was as ready as Qrow was. Though she tried to play it off as the cool and mature adult, she was already in her bikini. Neo was obviously checking her out too, which made her feel a little bit better about having to clean.
The teams plus Raven, Qrow, Shizuka and Neopolitan joined in the effort to clean up the lodge. It had been dusty and dirty and some animals had clearly lived there before they were chased out by the increasingly impatient Branwen siblings. Kit and Zwei helped chase them out and kept watch for Grimm. They finally finished after two hours of cleaning up. As soon as they finished, they unpacked and walked outside.
Neo slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out last, watching the group except for Weiss, Raven (because she was just too cool to) and Blake. Ren was being held like a football by the sprinting Nora. As she set a towel down, she heard a system notification.
