Jaune and Pyrrha were on the roof with their weapons drawn. The two of them went back and forth with each other parrying and deflecting each other blows.
Every few minutes his sword mastery and shield mastery would level up. They had been going through basic drills and light sparring for the last. Hour or so.
"so Jaune you've been improving a lot recently." said Pyrrha as she pushed jaune back with her shield.
"Yeah to be honest I, feel like I've been improving a lot too. Then again I've been training pretty hard on my own." he said while stepping to the side to get around her shield and land a light blow your her shoulder.
#...you can't be this dense# said cortana
Jaune raised his shield to block but fell on his back when Pyrrha rammed her shield
into his chest jaune fell back and was about to get back up when She held her sword to his neck and smiled at him. She lowered her sword and held a hand out for him.
jaune smiled back and took her hand as she hefted him up.
"still not as good as you though. Pyrrha." he said with a smile.
+19 closeness to Pyrrha
Pyrrha blushed at that before she lightly punched his shoulders.
"flattery won't make this easier." she said and jaune chuckled.
"Hehe can't blame a guy for trying."
# seriously how do you not see what's going on?# yelled cortana there was no way Jaune could be this dense.
# what do you mean cortana?# said jaune
When jaune talked to cortana it was basically a private chat he also found out how to activate subtitles. And it translate other languages. Man do some of the cafeteria workers know how to insult them.
While he was speaking with cortana like this no one else could hear them.
# you know what no I'm just gonna watch this unfold see how long it takes.# she said and she sat on Jaune shoulder crossing her legs. # you have a dating sim in the game. I'm surprised you haven't gotten any flags yet#
# the hell are flags?#
"so Jaune if you don't mind me asking. Why did you decide to be a huntsmen?" Asked pyrrha Jaune Was About To Answer When four boxes appeared in front of him and the world froze.
A:To protect the people I care about
B:because it's a well paying job
C:huntsmen in thought I was training ground to be a janitor.
D:I don't want to be a huntsmen.
#that that's a flag.# said cortana sarcastically # of course now they show up after I call it out.#
Jaune chuckled a bit before he went with the first option.
"well I've always wanted to protect my family, especially my little sister and my friends. Not just them either. I've always wanted to help people you know. I know it's kinda corny but hey.. it's coming from me." he said and Pyrrha nodded her head.
"that's very admirable Jaune, and I don't think it's corny at all." she said

"Thanks Pyrrha, Wanna Go Another round?" He Asked As He Rolled His shoulder. There were a few things he's noticed about his body since he became the gamer.
One he didn't get hungry, he even went a day without food and he was perfectly fine.
Two, he hasn't had to use the restroom either.
And finally so far he's found dead out that he doesn't need sleep he could still sleep but he hasn't had any dreams either.
"i think nows a good time to call it a day." she said
"alright fine by me."

Jaune went up to his room and continued to chat with Pyrrha on his way. As they walked he was continues lyrics flipping a coin and calling heads or tail mentally with cortana. He increased his luck by another five points.
Jaune went into the showers after Pyrrha and he checked his stats.

#Open the skills for Magic please cortana#
Cortana waved the notification away and nothing came up.
#well we don't have any skills yet for magic. Maybe you should try making a skill later.#
Jaune tapped his foot before he realised something
#Skill books!# shouted jaune
# skill what now?# asked cortana
# in one RPG I played there were scrolls or books that you could use to learn a skill, there has to be a few in beacons library if not there them probably at a bookstore# he said as he stepped into the shower.
# can you not look.# he asked as he turned ed on the water.
# what you've got nothing to be ashamed of...it's actually a kinda on the bi-#
# cortana please don't.#
# Hehe im only teasing.#
The next day Jaune went over to the library he carefully went through the rows. Looking for skill books and he was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of skill books.
Jaune walked over to a secluded alcove in the library it was probably a mistake in construction but it was a little space with just enough room for one or two people to lay down. Jaune put down the large stack of skill books and he separated them from most useful to mundane. There were a few skills like lockpicking, hacking, cooking, map reading, navigation, sewing, programming, robotics, biosciences, crafting. But the ones that really caught his attention where these guys

Jaune and cortana looked at the literal gold mine of skills in front of them. Jaune because he did the math and these skill would boost his stats when active to a whole new level.
Jaune couldn't have hit Y any faster.
Although he freaked out when the books dissapeared.
"shit I didn't mean to do that!" he said he thought he could return the books to their proper place after he was done shit the librarian was going to kill him when she found out.
#well that's unfortunate you might wanna do that tomb raiding quest now, you might not be able to show up at the library again for a while.# she said jaune sighed as he got up and made his way across the library he made a turn into a Older section of the library where only one or two people went and even then they didn't go to the spot he did. He stood before a bookshelf and he checked to make sure no one else was around before he pulled the green tome. There was a click and the book shelf slide open revealing a flight of stairs going down.
# cortana bring up a mini map and radar please I don't want any surprises.#
"that's unusual."
Jaune jumped before he turned around. "goddammit blake don't make me find that bell." he warned when they were little blake would always sneak up on him so one day he got her a bell bracelet. Blake wouldn't talk to him for an entire day. "well since your here wanna check this place out with me? It'll be like that time we explored the junkyard when we were kids."
Blake raised her eyebrow but Jaune swore he saw just the briefest of smiles on her face.
"it may be dangerous. And we don't have our weapons."
Jaune raised his hands and he made a aura bolt. "don't worry I've got 23 shots of aura bolts here blake."
"what are aura bolts?" she asked and jaune pointed his glowing hand at a lamp on the other side of the room and he fired it at the lamp destroying it and leaving a burn mark on the table.
Blake looked at jaune with a dry expression. "You could have just told me."
"Yeah but where the fun in that. now quickly my feline acompless let's get in this dark stairway before the librarian gets here." he said with a cheeky grin blake rolled her eyes before she smiled and walked into the secret passage first.
"i can see in the dark I'll take the lead."she said jaune nodded and walked behind her a few steps in and the bookcase closed behind them enveloping them in darkness. They walked down the stairs way in silence for a while.
"so how have you been blake?" he asked "since we were kids I mean."
"...it's complicated jaune, there were ups and downs. To say the least."
Jaune sighed. "...so you still hang out with Adam ?"
Blake stopped and jaune bumped into her.
"...i used to….you were right about him." she said with a heavy sigh.
Jaune winced at her tone and he placed a comforting hand on her shoulders. "Blake I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up painful memories."
"No it's alright. You warned me he was...violent I just didn't want to believe it... and when I did I thought I could change him." she said with a heavy tone. She tried to change him. The Fang. Society. But really she couldn't do it.
Jaune removed his hand and held out his arms. "need a hug?"
Blake turned around and jaune could just barely see her eyes.
"You really haven't changed have you?" she asked
"nope didn't we go over this when we were kids. Like Several times. I'm a goofball that cares about his friends." he said
+15 closeness to Blake.
Blake turned back around and she grabbed his hand leading him further into the darkness. She was glad jaune couldn't see in the dark. Or he would have seen her blush.
"...Hey blake I kinda remember promising you something. But it's hazy." he said and blake almost tripped if it wasn't for jaune pulling her up.
"whoa you ok? Is it a dead end or something.?"
# Jaune sorry to cut the love story short but we've got company! Three signals at the bottom of the stairs.#
"Blake get ready something is down there." he said as he charged up another bolt of aura. Blake nodded as the soft light of the aura bolt illuminated the stairs well. They slowly walked down the stairs and jaune saw the figures of three beawolfs in the shadows.
Beawolfs lv 3

Jaune fired the bolt of aura at the beawolfs head and he blinked in surprise as it's head exploded easily.

Jaune quickly made another bolt and fired it at the next beawolfs that charged at them. It burst a hole straight through its chest.

Blake and jaune rolled out of the way of the last beawolfs charge. Blake wraped her bow around its neck traping it in plave and Jaune fired another bolt and ripped it's leg clean off.

"Blake you ok?" he asked as he made another bolt but used it instead as a makeshift light.
"Im fine Jaune. That was impressive, why didn't you use that during initiation?" she asked
"uh….I didn't know how back then. I learned this from a book in the library aura control section." he said
+5 closeness to Blake.
"and you always used to complain when I dragged you to Tukson place." she said with an amused tone in her voice.
"that guy doesn't like me for some reason."he retorted.
"but no seriously I found a book that mentioned this although it didn't recommend people with small aura reserves to use it since it's kinda draining." he said
"that sounds useful, should we head back now?"
# those where the only enemies in here the room in front of us is clear and there's a hole that leads to the forest down the easter hallway. No enemies in the immediate area though.# said cortana.
"let's check that room over there first then we'll head back. Is that ok blake?" he said and blake nodded jaune led this time entering the room. He noticed a light switch on the wall he flipped it and the room was illuminated with light. It looked like a private study there where two large bookshelves on either side of the office a small fire place a large dark oak desk with dirty let her chair behind it. Jaune attention was drawn to the chest. He walked over to it and opened it to find inside where several stacks of lien and a stone tablet. Jaune whistled and blake looked at the items.

"wow you found some treasure for once." she said and jaune was reminded of all the times he dragged her and Adam along on adventures through the the junkyard to find treasure….that they never found.
"yup and this place doesn't look like anyone's been here for decades so I'm sure no one would mind if we took some of these things." he said and blake nodded. Jaune picked up the tablet and the lien. Blake walked over to the bookshelf and pulled out a few of them that were still in decent condition. Jaune walked over to the desk and opened it up and found a small pocket sized booklet.

"Jaune what did you do just now?"
Jaune rubbed the back of his neck. "uh I guess you can call it my semblance….ok blake listen I'm about to trust you with a big secret ok. Please don't tell anyone." he said

"...ok I feel like the game is trying to make me as overpowered as possible. Seriously the skill books are one thing but this much exp for a quest is...easy." he pushed the accept button. "that's somthing to do later though wed better get back we've been in here for….1 hour." he said
"...jaune can I get out of this. It's...uncomfortable. " she said the minute she pressed accept it was like her kind was being forced to be calm. And it was making her worried but it was forcing her to be calm.
Jaune nodded and he dissolved the party and blake sighed in relief.
"i dont know why but that was a weird feeling...Jaune promise me you won't let this...Game control you." she said she felt what the game did to her mind it forced her to become calm. It Forced her to do it. It was like someone was pushing you into a cloud and all you want to do was get up and run.
She was worried about what this would do to Jaune. How much had it already affected him. She knew one thing though it damaged his mind she was telling a professor maybe they could help him with it. She didn't want Jaune to be controlled by the game. Like it tried on her.
"i promise blake. This is the real world, I can't respawn, I can't turn it off and continue where I last saved. And no one is an NPC. And I'm Jaune Arc goofball who cares for his friends and dreams about becoming a huntsmen." he said with large smile on his face.
Blake smiled back and they both walked out of the study and out of the dungeon.
Jaune quickly made his way out of the library and Blake went back to her dorm.
She laid down on her bunk and she looked at the bunk above her. She honestly had fun with Jaune. It was almost like old times.
Her, Adam, and Jaune the three little trouble makers from hell. Exploring the local junkyard, raiding Jaunes mothers Kitchen, prancing the racist ice cream man that refused to serve her and adam.
..Jaune protecting her at the protest she went to. Adam fighting with Jaune before he left to join the white fang…
Blake following Adam.
And leaving Jaune behind.
Blake sighed before she rolled onto her side and placed her forhead against the wall.
The secound biggest regret Blake had Was not choosing to stay by Jaune side….she honestly hoped he didn't remember the promise he made to her.
Jaune went back up to the roof and he took out the tablet. He looked it over.
Fire Tablet:Summon a spirit of fire.

# hey cortanna what do you think about this how come this one has multiple skills?# he asked
#...well it's a battle Diary so maybe he wrote multiple skills inside. Why don't your try reading it first.# she said.
Jaune opened up the diary and he started to read it. The previous owner didn't include his name but he was very detailed about his abilities, Potion ingredients, enchantments. It was no wonder there were multiple skills in here.

Jaune was brought out of his musing when he heard a loud explosion he saw a giant pink dust cloud in the distance and he smirked when he heard Ren shouting.
"NoRAAAAAAaaaaaa"
"HAAAAHAAAAHAAAA I AM YOUR PINK OVERLORD YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR QUEEN!"
"HAHAHAHA GOOD LUCK REN. NORA CARRY ON BUT DON'T CAUSE TOO MUCH DAMAGE." he shouted and Nora saluted to jaune before continuing her pink rampage

If he dated her he had no doubt he would never get a moments rest
