My schemes were going fairly well. It seems as if Cardin has ramped up his bullying. Thanks to him being protected by someone and having blackmail material on Jaune. I've noticed his inferiority complex has gotten worse though. He actively challenged Pyrrha during Glynda's class.
Though this worked in my favor. Pyrrha has come to me asking for more help. So I managed to ask her for a small favor. I had for photographs of her to showcase as a model students uniform. Their was a dress code and this was a perfect excuse, favor, and planning ahead. Yang and Blake both constantly failed to follow dress code. Using Pyrrha as an excuse of model students can be used for fuel. Yang was competitive and Blake was obsessive.
Ren walked into my classroom. I hadn't done much with her, I turned him into a girl to test my power and my own pleasure. However I did it expecting to much from the two orphans that came in the form of Ren and Nora. Was she here due to Jaune's bullying?
Ren looked around and breathed out. "I don't really know where to go with this. I asked some of the other teachers, but they didn't really have a solution. However since you are our aura and semblance instructor I hope you have an idea. My semblance has been... Wonky? I don't really know how to explain it."
She didn't talk much in class, however she always paid attention. I motioned for her to speak her mind. "Go ahead and explain it the best you can then. I know your a quiet individual. Whether that's shyness or stoicism doesn't matter. We have plenty of time."
She nodded, and explained. "My semblance is dubbed Tranquility. I can mask negative emotions, I can use it on myself or on others. This can prevent Grim from sensing said negative emotions... Well, for some reason it keeps.... I don't know."
Ren paced slightly, the worry on her face was incredibly different to their calm demeanor. Ren finally sat down, "My emotions have been stronger and I... I feel different. Like the emotions I am experiencing aren't my own."
It took a second to diagnose the problem. Though Ren wouldn't have the slightest clue. I gave him a brief smile, "Relax, Enchant: Sleep."
She fell limp in the chair. I had used Ren to test body modifications of my semblance. I had given rabbits multiple sets of ears. However humans are obviously more complex creatures. I had forgot a key detail in this regard. They were self-reflective. I leaned on my chair thinking on how to fix this fuck up.
I had two forms of puppetry with my semblance. The first was what I had used on Jaune recently. It was fast and easy, the cons however. The individual had to be unconscious, and it could end prematurely if they show resistance in the unconscious state. The one I had used on Ren and Nora lacked said weaknesses. It also included many other useful features.
One was tracking, another was its range, while lastly in this situation. The most important extra effect the second type of puppetry had was sharing senses and emotions. I just activated my latent aura in Ren. I could also see it had yet to be completely absorbed into her body. It was supposed to be integrated into her own aura.
Second I could now feeling the subdued, but still strong emotions Ren was feeling. She felt discomfort, itchiness, and dysphoria. To put it simply I had fucked up the kid bad. It was rather interesting. Gave me an idea of using dysphoria as an enchantment. I couldn't help wondering what it would do to a person.
Despite this little science experiment becoming rather interesting. I did had to fix Ren's state of mind. I took a page from the kid's book and used her semblance as a reference. "Enchant: Tranquility."
I checked the connection, but the emotions were still there. In fact they had swelled up more. I clicked in my mind what was truly wrong here. Her semblance was trying to work in reverse. It remembered who she was even though she didn't. Just because u manage to turn a Y chromosome into an X chromosome doesn't mean magic powers agree with it.
I cracked my neck and began preparing a big one. A combo enchantment more advance than the one I had originally used on Ren. I had to start with her semblance, Second was the emotions, the last would be future emotions. Truth be told I had no idea where this would lead. However I was pretty sure this was considered to be a crime against humanity.
A fierce glow took over Ren's body and I felt drained. I was putting a lot of people to sleep lately and I don't think i was getting the proper amount myself. I looked down at Ren who was still glowing a pink hue.
I put my head in my hands and waited for her to wake up naturally. Soon, she did. "Wh-What happened?"
I replied, "I looked into your mind sort of. How do you feel?"
Ren looked at her hands and down at her chest. "Good I suppose. Refreshed! What did you do exactly?"
The actual explanation was one I could barely vocalize. However the real explanation wasn't the one I was gonna use. Instead I explained the modified version. "Essentially I have forcibly unlocked a new portion of your semblance. You can share senses and emotions with people. Normally you decrease negative emotions and all that. However truth be told that isn't tranquility. That's suppression. Now your semblance is closer to its name. You can now freely decrease or increase emotional sensitivity or share senses with other individuals."
Truth was I think her semblance stole a chunk of my aura to fuel the puppetry sense sharing. Turning it into a part of her own semblance. That was likely a big reason I now felt drained. Ren moved around my desk and gave me a hug.
Ren whispered softly during the embrace. "Thank you so much! I will never forget this Sir!" She pulled away with a beaming smile and skipped out of the room.
Leaving me uncomfortable, I had never been thanked liked that in my life.... No, lives! It felt... bad. Gross even, the feeling was awful. Thanks to the evolution of Ren's semblance. My puppetry was also removed entirely. The natural integration was dominated and absorbed. Made me bitter, and I was thanked for it.
I sighed and I casted my semblance on myself and I fell to my desk. I was drained of energy and I wanted a good undisturbed sleep.
