Jaune was used to lagging behind. It was a consequence of his...unorthodox entry into Beacon. He didn't have the years of combat school, tutoring, or surviving outside the kingdom's walls that his friends did. Heck, even now, almost a year later, he was still the weakest member of his team. He'd tried to make up for it by studying strategy and Aura techniques, but even with all that and Pyrrha's training, there was still an obvious gap.
Which was why he felt so nervous going on a Grimm hunt.
It was the first big test for their second year. No supervision, just teams JNPR and RWBY on a mission to take down a Goliath.
It was simple, really.
If he had as much training as everyone else, it wouldn't have even been a big cause for concern. Eight students, one of them being Pyrrha Nikos herself, should've been more than enough for a single Goliath.
But of course, things were never that easy.
It was a little rough at first maybe, but it wasn't long before the teams really began to find their rhythm. Ruby and Ren had been keeping it distracted while Weiss trapped the Goliath grimm in her glyphs. The rest of them would then use that time to throw in a few hits before Ruby and Ren went back as the bait. Rinse and repeat.
But it was just as they had gotten comfortable fighting that a horde of Beowolves chose that exact moment to charge right out of the trees all around them.
Most of the teams had focused on keeping the sudden horde at bay while Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha had managed to take down the Goliath themselves. It was... scary, if he was being honest with himself. Just like when they fought in the Breach all those months ago, but he handled himself as well as he could, all things considered.
Too bad they never figured out how that particularly incident happened, but he digressed.
By the end of it though, all the Grimm around them were dead while they were still standing. Most of them had kept their Auras up, although Yang's was starting to dip down into the red. Pyrrha's, meanwhile, had broke just as they finished off the sole Goliath.
"Pyrrha, are you alright?" Rushing over to his partner, Jaune knelt down at her side.
No wounds apart from a small cut on her right cheek, thankfully, but he was still worried. In the grand scheme of things it was completely harmless, especially considering what they went up against, but he still felt a churning in his gut at the sight.
Body throbbing with immense pain, his panting legs continued, ragged breathing offering unbearable torment to his slashed chest, fresh blood still escaping as he walked toward his nemesis.
As his Mind only had one thing as he remembers his failures and just focusing on the goal that had driven him this far ahead in life As the knight just pushed onward despite the torture and hardships that he has just endured for the this long in his life as His knees almost buckled under his weight as his hand barely clutching his trusted weapon for this long.
He won't use it.
As his Fingers just gripped the hilt of his family sword as he just focus on his self.
It was just when his body stopped all of a sudden as His blue eyes opened wide, mouth agape, body frozen in place like a helpless child. Off in the corner, blonde hair was slumped onto the ground, rapier a few meters away from the injured adventurer.
No...I can't...this can't...
Biting his tongue as hard as he could, the boy hoped that somehow the pain would keep the tears at bay, but they fell nonetheless, quickly falling from his chin. As his ears finally recovered, it allowed him to once again listen to the agonizing screams as the dragon ripped some of his treasured teammates in half, fire engulfing the rest of the bloody battlefield as it menacingly roared.
N...no...no...
On some dim level, he knew he shouldn't give up, but the boy's body could only go so far. The blood-red gash across his torso had worsened to a severe state, with the cut on his forehead and stab to his thigh doing the same.
No...I...
His legs gave in, shoulders shuddering as he sobbed, exhausted gasp lingering in the dusty air for a while as he simply dropped to the ground, mouth tasting the horrible blend of dirt and blood. Useless, as many said to him, a liability. The dragon continued to massacre his familia with its blue flames while he lay there, unable to help.
I just can't do it...
But you're still breathing, his consciousness calmly stated as if it was going through a checklist, and you're head's still connected to your body, so what gives?
I can't...let it-
Don't be a afraid like before When you just started your journey into this abyss into the heart of this undead land's of misery and just Always remember that Where did you truly come from and What was your true purpose in your life What did you lose and what did you gain in the process and What will you become in the end and what will you do to achieve it and What will you just do to protect it and what will you destroy in the process of it all just remember that.
You're the chosen undead You have fought many battles and wars you knew that you couldn't win some of the battles but you can just kept on going forward on and just you kept on fighting You are not a failure You are hero You are Firend You are now father.
And you are know for your hard work that you have performed over the years as other titles and names were given to you by the people that you have served under as then a another name was given to you and that was title of the flame of cinder you are the protector of flame and keeper of the flame and you were justified to leave your friends and family behind As you have the right to live on your own life and choose your own path and own story your own life Never let your friends and family dictate you about it and for your courage and bravery to move forward from all that pain and Then the very suffering you have during over these years and time we the knights will watch over you as you truly are the best knight that serves and protect The Innocence and Did what was right even others point of view it was wrong at times but when Time will be right You will know everything.
Jaune Arc just found himself surrounded just around a large circle of different kinds of versions of himself from his memories from this time on remnant and Kingdom of the undead As he spent his entire life in as then each a different age and goals and then slightly different opinions of the situation that am he consider themselves with at the very least times but members of his family would never would have agreed with what he has done over the years but for him he doesn't matter anymore he's no long er with them they're gone as he is just an old man who has no purpose in life anymore that's.
Don't you want to be a hero like your family before you ? You are not just planning to chicken out now after all of this happened to you what she did to you she made you into a monster that You hate the most How many more innocence are you going to let down before you learn that you couldn't protect them from her Are you going quit are you now go back to the old way like before you began your journey ?
Be a winner.
Don't lose.
Don't give up.
Don't look pathetic.
Protect her.
In the middle of all of them, a rusted knight know as the flames of cinder the chosen undead stood, fire enveloping his fist. Beside him, his proud grandfather stood. "Do it," they boomed out. "Keep moving forward, and destroy them until they're gone. That's the way," the tall god smiled, "isn't it?"
It is.

POV
As we can see the last area was nothing but sunshine as rain could be seen approaching.
As the young girl know as Adrienne was just humming a very beautiful song that she learn from adopted father as he sitting in the corner with his respected god and his very families members in the wagon that they were renting at the moment as they were just crossing different continent right about now as well they did had some kind of hindrance when they were all leaving their respective homes in the Kingdom of telskyura's but everything is fine as her own adopted father told her about as he Then taught her a beautiful melody that his mother taught him when he was just a baby and How they used to sing together when he gone older as he told her it will just bring good luck whenever she sings as for her She gets to see a beautiful landscape around her as she rode with her family members as they kept on coming across different villages and their native people as when they left the carriage to Do their local shops to trade some goods with one another as they get to know the vast majority of the land as Her own father was mapping on his trusted diary that he bought just a few stops ago as he wants to know they're surroundings better than ever when they are traveling together as a family and for future exploits.
As she had learnt from her mother when she was still alive and around that never to disturb her father when he is talking about something or working at the moment as she might get in to some trouble well be always be respectful to your elders always and then other people around you in all time as but for me as she looked up at her mother and question her about 'what is respect' as she looked at her innocent smile as her mother just smiled at her and told her about it what is required to respect others As it means to Respect means that you accept somebody for who they are and even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them all the time and then Respect is in the your very much relationships that you just build with the feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing with other people Respect doesn't have to come naturally - it is something you learn with due time.
As how her mother example to her as she still little bit confused at best but her very mother then explain to her that it is a good art of treatment and achieve That might be give her praises and lot of presents and then near or distant future of yours at best As she was then excited that she will do something great in the future as she cannot wait as she needs to start respecting others as it might over keep and achieve her goal faster than ever that's what she ever expected but that's what her mother explained her even further
but that was one day before the incident as what happened after As for her entire life and family members just change drastically as she lost her mother her father and her very much kind uncle but then sometime later she had her aunt by her side before they were attacked by evil bandits as she was so afraid that she was going to die that day but Something changed at that moment as someone just came at our cries of help as everything was just a blur at the moment.
As when all the fighting was completed as she could hear their screaming of pain and fear as everything they were doing just was undone as they was blood everywhere but there were no bad guys anymore as then she met him the blonde savior as he was standing there with his light armor and wearing a robe around him as he was a hero in those stories that her mother used to read her every time going to bed just like the very great hero Argonaut or the king of sword mercenary Albert as you stood there in a mysterious pose as she was So happy at that moment as she looked up at her auntie direction as She saw that she had her entire face red as she has those strange looking eyes as she has seen when Uncle is around the house as her auntie was basically shying around him as she didn't know what this mean at the moment but she was glad that her auntie might like him and they might find a good friend on their way as the gods have heard their prayers in this dire moment in their life.
And Then rest was history as this started of there adventures together as to get to know one another better as Time went by when they were traveling together to The New Kingdom of telskyura's as Then he started to reveal his story that he was an adventurer as he was not alone with his friend beside him Who was basically his god as he was handsome man himself as both were just traveling together to get to same kingdom as them at the moments. As then he and his familia member was then starting to leave together in the Same carriage as Jaune was done preparing and repeating it for our own travel as they all left the entire village area behind as she left her entire home as all her bad memories and good memories started to fade away as she had her aunt but she didn't know what the future hold for her as she will try her best in this new home as she was headed towards with her remaining family and her new friends.
but Life wasn't the same when she made her way towards the new kingdom as they were nothing but females as one day separated their way from jaune Arc their savior and his very own God named Erebus as for the better or worse at the moment They thought they're worries we're all gone as they can start fresh but that was after a few months later when she was heading towards her home that her aunt and her just then found themselves here's some trouble as one of the warrior women who work in those places started to question them about something as she and auntie was then suddenly just taken away by their home and by them as no one dare to approach or stop them as they force their way to the carriage that was parked outside as then When they were leaving he could hear other people's chatting with the others about something as then they all just suddenly stopped in front of some kind of gates then they started to nodded at each other as they brought out some weird bag as then everything started to went black as when she started to smell something weird when she woke up everything was dark as she was in some kind of a strange storage room or dark room but she wasn't alone in that very room as she could hear her auntie voice by her side as she was blacked out just like her struggling from their bonds as then she saying something constantly as never lose hope and never give up no matter what the stakes are up against you always make yourself strong and be kind and respected to others as all Remember to love others has your own but of a sudden she could hear something at that moment as they were feet boots coming towards their direction as we're near them as they start to pick up her aunt as she can then hear a little struggle as then everything went dark again when she came up again she couldn't hear her auntie voice anymore When she called her out many times as it was just silence in that very dark room of hers as no sound was it.
As then She didn't lose hope and just like her very aunt has directed her to do so she kept on hoping that jaune will come to save her as she kept on hoping and she kept on praying to the god's as it was then fulfilled as when she come to her senses again She was sitting in some kind of weird throne room as she saw many different people in that very room and her very own Savior was there to and as He was kneeling before a small girl who was basically nearly at her height but everything was normal as then they brought out a knife they cut open my bonds and let her go as then at that day as she ran towards him to safety as he then started to accepted her as his daughter and as she gained a new father as well as she was adopted into a new family entirely as Bache and Amazon warrior just like the rest of her people accepted her as one of her own as she was right now in the carriage beside her as she was braiding her hair At the moment as It had been one months since they had been departed from kingdom of Telskyuras and they were soon approaching the bridge that connects The Far East with the western part of the continent in the very north-east that connect to the most biggest trade route in the entire continent at that very moment as she was very much excited to meet new people but more exciting was that she was with her family as they would tackle whatever hurricane comes in their way As this What her father has promised her and her entire new family all together.
As Generally the entire trip by now has been for nothing but uneventful with the only events being some low class monster and bandits attacks them Now and then as they were trying to stop them and Rob them from their supplies and monsters but you do know they just want to eat them whole but too bad for them their food for them instead as They couldn't be stopping for some small or minor things at the matter as the only thing they stop for are for some supplies as on that time as they could go on for weeks without food if one of the stronger members of the familia can but they can't say for the others who are not that powerful and are currently at a weaker stage of theirs They need to take care of their bodies and make sure that they are healthy and physically and mentally for the road ahead of them and for jaune and Bache They like doing this helping their members basically their little family as It's been so long for him to care for someone like this and to be relieved as past traumas automatically have disappeared as he cared for his little girl and he's going to be a father again with his new wife has he made sure that he has prepared some vows for her and him upon themselves when they get back to the far east continent They can find a proper place to get married as he was planning on taking care of her and his own daughters together as he has nothing else in this world at the moment but he will just do everything in his own power to protect his little family and find his old friends maybe help them join this very familiar of their own and together they could survive in this world until they can find their own back to their original world as He has no attentions at the moment to go back to that world as there's nothing left for him to go back to.
But for now he has bigger things to worry about the that is the health of his familia members and most important of the all is one that is individual named Bache Kalif or called Bache Arc as she is his baby momma at the moment as he remembers the deal that he made with her goddess before they all departure from her kingdom.
As he has a a responsibility to take care of as he needs to make sure that she is healthy in mentally and physical as possible as That is his responsible as a new father and now a husband and a leader of this new familia and that he has entered himself into as he needs to make sure they are better as we cannot fail them as a man and as a warrior and then he need to take care of some other businesses as well as making sure all of his familia members come home safely to their new base of operations as the old one was compromised by goddess of that land and He ended up Have to fight for his daughters and god's and his freedom from them but ended up Fighting two women and then losing to those women and then have no choice to impregnate Those same women and the situation couldn't be more weirder at the moment as than slept with them two women at the same time when he was there but one of them decided to stay there while the other one said nothing about it but one came with him as he will make sure he'll nurture their children together and for starters he needs to get to know her better to understand her feelings towards them.
But right now they were not traveling as they have come to a pit stop at the moment as the recording to have some supplies in this nearby villages and then they're going to set up camp for a few days before they can start moving again as they need to rest as well but for him that is just a minor thing as living as undead and being a huntsman for actually piques your human qualities and his abilities to a higher level making he more resilient them before when it comes to other matters and his basically stamina was boosted even further than before making him more stronger than anything in his own sense and believes as he doesn't still knows how powerful to beings or monsters are in this world anyways as he still just believe that he just faced small monstrous and He hasn't seen what the dungeon could truly present him but Maybe when all of this is done and over them he can go to this city and then check this dungeon out and figure out what all of this commotion is about anyways and maybe he could find this friends to meanwhile exploring the area.
But jaune decided to get to know one a another by training there body in friendly matchup in against to each other
though they knew that wouldn't last long with her pregnancy At the moment .
Jaune Arc and Bache match was going much differently this time. In her initial attack on him and his wife as had gone much slower. She had allowed him time to raise up his shield and sword to defend himself like she had taught a She also held back most of her strength as to not crush his arms during the times he did block. While he was still painfully new to this, at least this time he didn't require healing.
After sparring for the first few hours of the day, stopping in between rounds for Bache to give as Jaune was just some tips, the two had decided to stop for the time being as Bache was just panting light and wouldn't be able to stand much longer as she was over working yourself a bit than usual
"How are you feeling Bache ?" Asked jaune Arc was walking up to her.
"Good... I'm feeling... good." Said Bache between breaths.
"Here, drink." Said jaune handing Bache just a cup of water. "We still have a long way to go before I don't think you will let you into the dungeon, but for your first real day of training, you did pretty well."
Hearing the praise from him was different as she was receiving from made her turn a light shade of red and look away.
"Thank you Jaune. But it's only because I have such a good partner" replied Bache As she missing the small blush forming on Jaune face as well.
CHANGE LOCATION
After his morning training with jaune, as she would have spend some time with the various other members of his familias as which each had something they specialized in and as the god just told her about magic that the blonde knight can use as How he was so holding back against all of you in your match even though she did not possess anything like his firepower as she was more then capable of handling herself and her opponents and as while others instructors and her predecessor in her time taught her about how to control her magic that she has and the skills she learned from hardship from the fighting dog pits alongside her sister how to handle her opponents true blood and sweat that she had to spill to get to hear as she doesn't want any of that to do with her child as she wants her to be free like a bird with no chains around her neck to pin her down here in that very blood pit making her 'no' forcing her to kill her very friends and making her fight her sisters and then forced to mate with another strong man entirely to produce a strong child for them to abuse again as She wants her very own daughter to be free just like her father Who was a good man who is a strong and a free man Who has morals and a heart who might help her grow up to be a strong and free woman This one cruel world of their own as she could survive on her own when the time will come for her to move on.
As She was strolling around the camp that they have made for the time being in the side of the hills around the countryside road as a massive greenery could be seen with a lot of sand beside it as a small village was not so far away from their location as they could go check it out and if they need too buy some supplies for camp if they need it in the end before traveling again as she was planning on resting the entire day after a heated training session happened with her husband jaune Arc Has she was planning on today checking out what her sisters that has came as envoy with her as She would try to communicate and question with her sisters to find out what were their real missions that their goddess has sent them upon doing as When she made it back to their camp site as she saw their tent as one of them was just sitting there on the ground as some of them were just practicing there fighting skills just with one and another as one of them was just lying there on the ground just lazily as she then started to approach them slowly as she made away towards them as when they saw Bache approaching them as They're very much started to clean themselves up and stop what they were doing at that point moment as they spreading themselves up and stood up while stood up straight as She was standing in front of their own vicinity.
As Bache was just standing there as she was taking a deep breath as she started to speak with her sisters in her own native language as she then started at some questions about their true mission and why did the goddess want or send them with her and this familia in particularly and what is her end game here as they all been started to explain to her about what happened to her during the match as they were telling her that there goddess has made some deal with the your own blonde gladiator Jaune that will help them strengthening their forces in the main event in the future ever to occur as an war with The very familias of ourario with some other neighboring kingdoms as a result in the end as a goddess wants more than one woman of their nation to have his children as with his supreme warrior geans They might have an edge in the near future as more than one powerful child would help defender their kingdom from disasters and help them and rebuilding their kingdom better than before as that is their goddess is true wish as she wants us sisters to be his concubine as he could mate with more than one woman at the same time as we could do strengthen our ways together with the other familias backing us at the same time as a big community and fighting force beside them they will be carefully able to win the bigger game and make sure their rule stays in the It's very world of revenant just as it should.
As Bache was started to learn that what her goddess truly wants is more terrifying if she started to imagine it as she even wants her to continue and wants to make sure that she fulfills her duty to keeping on giving strong children as later it could be used as a tool for war or then use them to repeat the cycle again as for her goddess is truly a terrifying being who has no remorse for anything or anyone in that matter as she'll go as far as send how many women to them to make sure they're all having his children but if she could think as a ruler's other country or Kingdom it is easy way that is a sly way and clever way of thinking as she has found a powerful warrior and she doesn't want to let go of him not that easy as she'll make sure that she makes full use of him as she was starting to wondering how will he react learning this from her as he might be angry with her or Maybe he might sad that we were just using him for our own game but he might be thrilled that he could have just more sexual desires with other women and He might toss her aside as she was started to have more doubts as she didn't know what to do at this point as she was having some many questions that were just starting pile up inside of her head as well She wanted to sit down and stink it all through as her work here was done as she started to make her leave as she said her goodbyes to her told the rest to continue what they were doing as the other Amazon warriors continued doing what they were doing preparing themselves for a unexpected battle at moment notice.
As Bache was just heading back to her own tent as she was conflicted at the moment as she was thinking that she needs to step up the game to make sure that jaune doesn't abandons her and their child to her goddess as she needs to work extra hard to satisfy him from now on as she was just walking towards her tent as god Erebus started to make his appearance before her as she then stopped her where she was going as he told her that he needs her help in something as then the rest of the day it was just spend care free as all of her worries about before just started to disappeared instantly would she also spend time with him, although with her there was no training involved at the moment as She was at rest at the moment.
Their time spent together was there break throughout the days of training as then as sometimes They would go for walks around the entire camp site together as then when sun started to drop at the horizon as then they would retreat to their tent as their little girl will be waiting there as they would then often have to read a bed time stories to her until she went to sleep but then as she was put to sleep then those two were alone to there own devices together at that moment so they have time to spend with each other and on the other hand as They would have more time oftenly on there hands as those boats could interact with each other in more physical contacts with each other as they're would often try to please one and another in their sexual needs at time's.
Or just simply just talk to one and then another about their lives and everything around then affects each other as then they would discuss about their worlds and life histories and how is the weather Sometimes and many other things together and then they would sometimes it's related subjects towards it as tried to build a bridge of better communication and understanding of each other together as if he tells anyone the truth he actually start to like her company more than before often as Time went on as it was really breath taking experience as there was no combat related things to discuss about no battle plans no other things that are related to us but straight up hobbies and other normal things about each other as they both wanted to be better than before as he could relate to where she is coming from past from his own past experiences He will try Open up about himself to others just for once in his life as what's a better step for now anyways.
As then all of sudden as They days would go bye as Jaune and Bache had just fell into a daily routine and he would just spend his mornings training with Bache and while his afternoons were spent with his daughter and whichever members happened to be around at the time and duty's. But then Occasionally the other Amazon warriors woman would fill in for bache if she wasn't available and After like this a two week had just passed by and It was time for jaune's and Bache and the another member first status update in a week's of training but he as to wait for Erebus to finish with his tasks at hands as he was the leader and head of the familia as he has many things to discuss and manage around her as he was just preparing for departure the big city.
CHANGE LOCATION
POV
As It was a bright and sunny day in the region of village of Suzuki as the camp of the Erebus family was located around the
But then Bache started to change a bit over this long and eventful journey with everyone as she gets to learn about them little personally and her surrounding environment more and more as they move around to one place to another as this fascinates her more then anything she has seen in her entire life as she really just remember blood and sand of her people but now when exploring the unknown land's for the first time in her life as she first week personally feels like a toad that was sitting in a small pond while the whole world was just really moving pass her and as She was just wasting her life in there as she started to understand what the twins were telling her about their entire time.
But the truth is the entire world was course was just bigger and unknown place than she ever realized in her life as there is so much that she can do or see at the moment as everything was just so fascinating as she was more in a mood too explore some more or adventure out into this new world as we can seem right now as she was excited to take a break from riding in the carriage and then walk out towards the shops and check out her surrounding towns and everything and everyone else present in it as she was like a 5-year-old who just saw something fascinating for the very first time in her life But she needs to be careful She doesn't want to be separated from her new family's members and the knight especially as she started to like him more.
And then for the trip that they all were having together as she has taken a liking to everyone else especially her two most favorite people are Adrienne and jaune himself as she is starting to consider her as her own daughter as she is just so cute and adorable and She can't believe that they're going to hurt this cute little girl all those time ago but her listened is learned not to do this ever again but then when it comes to the main man himself was just her training sessions with him we're really refreshingly good as they get to know one and another and right now they're not trying to kill or just hunt one a another like before and but then there are sometimes it gets just little bit to heat at the moment as they both started to get a little exotic at times as just during the sessions as they would fine the nearest location to hide and then perform there sexual duties to one and another as if someone just might concentrate long enough in very area as they could just hear sound of clap of flesh and woman beautiful mouning together at that location entirely.
as few moments later they would come back more exhausted then before.
As acted like a mother to her now as for this making Adrienne a lot more comfortable with her and weirdly just accepting her mother figure now.
As Jaune and Erebus were currently updating jaune's status since it's been a couple days since the last and they have trained a lot since then.
Erebus had just finished and had handed the sheet back to jaune, who inspected it.

This...what is this? This level, these stats, these skills, what is all this!? This...this is impossible who the hell is he !
Over the last 2 months, Bache had been a tremendous help with her training, raising his stats by a lot. He was more than ready to level up with his current stat, but since his soul hadn't been overloaded with Excelia yet, so he couldn't. He needs to find something to push him over the edge. The growth wasn't an issue, it was finding something to help him level up.
As currently jaune Arc was read through his status again before nodding, crumpling the piece of paper and throwing it out as he fired his firebolt at it, burning it. It was how he increased his magic stat so much. He kept using it for the smallest things to push his mind. It increased the magic, little by little.
I only went up 10 points? After a week of training?" Said jaune Arc looking at his status sheet with a sad expression.
"Jaune, you've only just begun and It takes time to grow. Besides, most adventurers don't start when they're five or six. You are already ahead of the curve." As Erebus explain to him as he was silently observing his progress as he has come a long way since they have met but considering this is the training he'll have for a time being in other words he won't grow that much if he were to counters people with lower level then himself and then a dungeon here then that would be a different case another matters at hand He is pretty strong considering he is level 6 maybe soon enough he will level up seven again until that he needs to make sure he keeps his status and progress a secret from everyone as he doesn't knows what the others might do to gain him through by doing some unnecessary trouble for all of their sake as he thought.
"Yeah... I guess so. I'll just have to try even harder!" shouted jaune.
Before he could run off, as he grabbed the real street as grabbed his arm and pulled him in for a moment
"Please remember don't push yourself too hard at the wrong You do not want to get the wrong attention as we are in another country at the moment and make sure to conceal your powers more often as others might see this as an opportunity for their little games as you know how our species are when they see something very amusing for the very first time as they might cause problems for you in the long run."
As he explained it to him as Jaune nodded back at him "Yes Erebus I will more careful now on"
As the first week came to a close. Jaune was feeling more and more comfortable being here as His very sadness feeling form before was starting to complete disappearing, and his feelings of being alone were starting to be filled with new friendships. The other members of the familia had slowly started to take a liking to jaune. He was the most kind and honest man any of them had meet, not to mention how nice and sexy he was to them Although he'd never admit it, but he was beginning to like having jaune around.
Then her goddess was right, jaune Arc was something else entirely as he was this from the beginning of his journey just imagine how much well he grows in the future.
Just as she imagined at that moment as he had gone back to his training again had she intended, as Jaune kept on trained even harder till dawn as she Started to notice him as how he was using very different vidity of weapons At his disposal not just his sword and shield but Spears and knives at best he even got himself a battle ax and some of hammers as she was perfectly using them as attended as she even noticed him sometimes He read different kinds of books, not just some stories of tale's but He kept on making his way towards the village as he kept on buying some cultural books even religious as he was studying about the locals around us and what type of place he was going to walk in as he was full on prepared as He Just kept on spent time with as many people as he could to learn what they had to offer. Of course he did keep his promise to his god. He still made sure to conceal his true very identity and his true powers as when she was hearing them when they were in his tent with her everyday so she could rest easily as the weeks went by again as Jaune was progress continued to be slow a bit and While it picked up a little as he become more efficient with his fighting and the gains were still smaller than the average adventurer or warrior would see. While his god was continued to reassure him that his growth was still more than normal as man his age were rarely trained in combat now a days it was not enough to curb his desires.
"Hey Erebus, do you think I should try to level up?" As Jaune asked Erebus who now looked at him. Before he could answer, Bache intervened.
"Level up? Didn't you level up 3 months ago?" she asked jaune. He had learnt to somewhat trust Bache over this journey so far. She had been nothing but honest and thoughtful, a complete contrast to how she had been when they first met. This making him tell her about when he leveled up
"Well, I grow faster than anyone else. Don't ask why, I won't tell" he said as Bache nodded
"How fast?" Jaune gave her a look, and he guessed Bache had a smile behind her mask, her eyes matched that of someone smiling.
"Enough to normally level up in a half a month within the great Orario itself" Bache's eyes widened at that, before composing herself.
"That's impressive" Bell nodded before turning back to Erebus, Bache going back to braiding Adrienne's hair. Erebus, who understood what Bell wanted, answered him.
"Yes, I think you should try to level up. The only issue is finding a challenge you can overcome" Erebus started pondering about what way they could make Bell level up.
"I could sneak into the dungeon" jaune Arc just offered, but Erebus wasn't having it This time at all as it was way too f****** careless and "No way, too dangerous. They will still be on top guard after Kauhea Forbande" jaune Arc chuckled at Erebus, before looking up the road they were traveling.
In the distance, he could see the enormous bridge that went over to the land on the other side of the water that was a hybrid between an ocean and a river. On the other side,
you could make out the city, Kitzumara, the capital of the Far East.
As far as Jaune understood from his prison friend, the name meant 'Power in the north-east' in the native language, though the main language was Koine, thankfully.
