"Well, I definitely feel stronger after training that hard." affirmed Jaune as he rested next to Pyrrha on his back. The two had to take a quick break from training so hard together and sat down on the edge of their rooftop. After sparring with her, the [System] registered his improvement.
[You've earned +1 to |Strength| from your improvement at |Melee Basics|!]
Pyrrha nodded back and wiped sweat off her brow, their feet hanging over the edge of that rooftop they always trained every night at. "Wait..." Pyrrha observed his more developed upper body defined exquisitely under his white armor. "Are your muscles bigger?"
"Uh...I don't know." Jaune leaned over and placed his hands on the edge of the rooftop next to her. "Been training a lot lately I guess."
"Well, they do look better." noticed Pyrrha.
[Congratulations! You've gotten your fine sparring partner to check you out! You've progressed in the |Romantic Route| |Pyrrha| by +5 Affection points! (Current Progress: 13/100. Current Relationship: Mutual Friends)]
Her partner decided to compliment her back. "Thanks Pyrrha, your muscles look fine too." Jaune's blue eyes widened as Pyrrha laughed. "I meant that-"
"Stop, it's fine I got what you meant." She extended a hand outwards comfortingly.
Jaune sighed in relief. It really surprised him how much better than him Pyrrha understood people and what they tried to say most of the time.
"Yeah." Jaune noticed the sweat on his training partners body as their weapons lay discarded behind them. Jaune felt his eyes latch onto a particular bead of sweat, that fell from her head all the way into the valley between her breasts. Jaune gulped, admiring how her shoulderless bronze chest plate was showing off those magnificent assets of hers.
What he would give to grab the-
Shaking his head again, Jaune stood up. "Wanna get back to it?" asked the blonde.
Nodding, Pyrrha held her spear Milo and her shield Akouo. As Pyrrha armed herself Jaune eyed the title the [System] gave her.
Pyrrha Nikos "Valiant Spartan" - LV 15
They got into their stances and returned to training. Jaune attacked first, striking Pyrrha's shield with a well-executed slash using Crocea Mors.
[You've successfully executed |Power Slash|! The |Crystal| has become more effective as a result! (Boost I: 12 (+5)/100)]
Jaune didn't really care about this, as simply training with Pyrrha was attention consuming enough. He would have to figure out what this [Boost] was later on however when he saw it earlier. The Crystal of Duality worked, enjoying how Jaune acted skillfully instead of brashly and stronger on his own, it powered the attack and almost sent Pyrrha flying off her feet as her shield absorbed the blow.
She staggered as Jaune panicked. "You okay?" He worried.
"Yes." answered Pyrrha who came back stronger and went for a thrust at Jaune's chest with her spear, which was tossed aside by his shield and countered with a perfectly timed thrust of his own. Again the Crystal powered the attack and Pyrrha found herself knocked across the rooftop when the white flash struck her body. Her spear and shield were thrown out of her hands from the power of the Jaune's strike, rolling across the rooftop, Pyrrha dodged another slash from Jaune when she sprang back upon her feet and picked up her weapons.
They came back to sparring, one attacking the other defending. Neither winning. It ended whence Pyrrha disarmed him as Jaune carelessly let his [Aura Points] deplete.
"Thanks Pyrrha," muttered Jaune as she helped him off the ground by his hand.
"Whoof!" Pyrrha rested her hands on her round hips. "That was some mighty fine training wasn't it?"
"Yes indeed it was." murmured Jaune. He glanced at her combat outfit. 'Why the hell would she dress...so distractingly when we practice?' These thoughts gave way from her eye grabbingly curvy body as he spoke. "But are we even allowed to train so late? I think the headmaster would get mad."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that Mr. Arc." A sudden voice said, strolling right onto the rooftop with them.
"H-Headmaster Ozpin!" Pyrrha stuttered.
"Ms. Nikos, can you give your friend and I some time alone please?" requested Ozpin.
"Of course sir." Pyrrha left as quickly as she could carrying her weapons.
Ozpin returned to looking at Jaune. "Cardin Winchester came into my office this morning. He usually complains about the noise you two make training together every night, the metal clashing and all that, but this morning...he said something rather strange. He mentioned how he overheard you admitting to your partner who just left us, that you cheated your way into Beacon."
"S-Sir I can-"
"Please don't interrupt me Mr. Arc." Ozpin blinked.
Jaune nodded and gulped. "Yes sir."
'I'm gonna get expelled...' torturously thought Jaune.
"Now this wasn't news, but it was still strange how he came to me about this and not you. I had a feeling you had more honor in you Jaune, considering your family and all." noted Beacon's headmaster.
"M-My family is made up of some of the best Hunstmen of all time!" Jaune started making worried excuses. "Do you have any idea what kind of pressure that puts on me? How can ever I live up to that?!"
"I've already made my decision." murmured Ozpin stoically.
The blonde understood sadly. "I'll go pack my bags." Jaune tried to brush past him but his headmaster's hand shot out and held the part of his armor that covered his shoulders. "I wouldn't do that just yet Mr. Arc." He said.
"Wh-Why not?" stuttered Jaune as he spoke to his headmaster on the rooftop where he trained nightly with Pyrrha.
Ozpin removed the hand stopping Jaune from leaving off of his shoulder. "Did you think you were the first student to try and forge their way into Beacon? I recognized your documents weren't signed properly the moment I read them. However, I always sensed that there was some greatness in you Jaune, which is why I didn't rebuff your papers. And seeing how quickly you are coming along as a Huntsman, I'd say I made the right decision." Ozpin didn't smile as he finished talking.
"S-So I'm expelled then?" asked Jaune.
"Under normal circumstances yes." answered Ozpin. "However, you are a special case. I noticed how Mr. Winchester was wearing a bruised mark on his eye and he'd told me he'd gotten it the week before. Inquiring further, he told me you'd given it to him. Along with that, you went on to defeat his entire group without Ms. Nikos' help. Quite a feat indeed. To take on an entire team of huntsmen in training by yourself and win is a remarkable accomplishment."
"Thank you sir." said Jaune instantly, glad he wasn't expelled from Beacon.
"Beautiful view isn't it?" noted Ozpin as he stared out over his shimmering school at nighttime. "I'm surprised you and Ms. Nikos don't just sit here admiring the view every night instead of training, just from its beauty." Ozpin sighed. "This is a very dangerous world we live in Jaune Arc, we need strong warriors like you and your teammates, especially your training partner Ms. Nikos, to protect the realm from those that would harm it. Do you promise me that you'll never do anything to make me regret my decision, and to defend the people of Remnant from the evils of this world, whatever they may be, to your fullest ability?"
Jaune Arc planted a brown gloved fist over his increasingly muscular chest. "I promise I will sir." promised Jaune as pride glimmered in his blue eyes.
"I expect nothing but the best from you, Mr. Arc." Ozpin murmured. "And the best from you means great things. Extraordinary things."
"Goodnight Headmaster." Jaune started to leave with Crocea Mors sheathed and his shield undeployed.
The headmaster nodded. "Goodnight Mr. Arc." bade Ozpin. Before he left, Ozpin added a question. "How do you like Beacon Academy so far Mr. Arc?"
"How do I like Beacon so far?" asked Jaune rhetorically, scratching the back of his head. "Um...there's all these people with all these crazy weapons and magic and Semblances and I'm just sort of...this guy with a sword."
Ozpin looked at his blonde student. "Have you unlocked your Semblance yet?"
"Kind of?..." Jaune murmured. "I was about to get hit with a mace in the head last week, and this white thing glowed around me. I don't know if it's my Semblance or a defensive Aura shield so yeah..."
"It's possible it could be a combination of both." Suggested the headmaster. "Perhaps your Semblance ensures a more powerful Aura that cannot be penetrated at anytime. Making you unbeatable in combat."
"Yeah...heh heh." chuckled Jaune. "Unbeatable in combat, that'd be nice."
After nodding and returning to his dormitory, Jaune fell asleep in his bed. Ozpin stayed staring out from the rooftop, watching Beacon glimmer in the nighttime. 'Jaune Arc. You will never cease to amaze me will you? It is for your strength and valor that I trusted in you, and now it will be your honor. Your family may have our realms best fighters, but I feel that you have more untapped potential in you than any other student here. Or any I've met. I hold a strong belief that your Semblance can allow you to become a warrior more powerful than anything I've seen. I think that you will fulfill your promise. Now and always.'
The stars twinkled a bit brighter over Beacon that night, and Ozpin now knew full well that Jaune would earn his place with growing might.
~000~
~000~
Jaune had never been to Beacon's infirmary before, but he looked at the wooden sign hanging above it before he walked in. 'Beacon Infirmary' it read. He opened the door and walked in, seeing the stern Huntress Glynda Goodwitch surprised to see him. "Mr. Arc? Why are you here? You look perfectly healthy." the blonde young woman said.
Jaune walked into the room looking at the label the [System] gave her.
Glynda Goodwitch "Friendly School Nurse/Combat Teacher" - LV 47
"Yeah...I haven't been feeling healthy though." Jaune answered.
Glynda fixed her dress and patted the green bed where patients usually sat down on. "Well, why don't you sit here and I'll take a look at you."
He started taking off his white armor. "Thanks." Jaune removed the upper part of his Beacon Academy school uniform. Afterwards, he showed off his bare torso by removing the white shirt under it.
'My word...' Glynda's green eyes widened when she saw him sit down shirtless on the patient bed. 'He's one of the most muscular boys I've ever seen!'
"I've been training harder than ever with Pyrrha lately. I found this weird thing with this crystal in my sword and..." He shook his head. "The point is my body's been feeling like it growing unnaturally quickly. And it's been pretty sore."
"W-well have you been encountering anything out of the ordinary lately?" Glynda felt herself growing redder by the minute.
'Tell her about the [Crystal]...tell her about the [Crystal] you idiot!' Jaune yelled at himself in his head. He cleared his throat. "Um...not really no."
"Well then it's a common soreness from all the exercise." Glynda's heels clicked as she walked to a small drawer and withdrew an ointment. She walked back to Jaune. "Here, this is a simple ointment I bought last week. Rub it where you feel sore and you should feel it go away within a few minutes."
"Thanks." Jaune smiled as he took the small bottle from her. He unscrewed the small cap on it and started rubbing the ointment over his aching muscles. Glynda tried not to salivate but it was out of her control.
She sniffed. "Do you need help with that?"
Jaune accepted and Glynda helped in applying the ointment to Jaune's torso. Jaune was pretty sure she was violating some sort of school code, but he would be caught dead before reporting the kind nurse. As she rubbed her hands over him, Jaune noticed her revealing white dress that showed off her rack.
'Is every woman in my life amazingly attractive?'
He noticed the [System]'s reaction.
[Congratulations! Your super kind (and hot) school nurse has helped rub ointment on you! You have unlocked a new |Romantic Route|: Glynda!]
[You have advanced +10 Affection points on the |Glynda| route (10/100)! Current Relationship: Friendly Acquaintances]
Jaune couldn't help but feel a little distraught over the [System]'s nonchalant manner towards his perversions. Then again, he always assumed whoever designed it must've been some sort of pervert as well. A funny one at that, Jaune had to admit.
Glynda smiled and removed her hands from rubbing the ointment all over Jaune's growingly muscular upper body. "There." she smiled kindly. "Better?"
He nodded as he felt the soreness of his muscles evaporate. "Yeah, thank you Ms. Goodwitch."
"Oh please, call me Glynda." Her kindness returned to sternness as she looked at him. "Now make sure to apply it whenever you feel sore again. You wouldn't want to overexert your chest muscles wouldn't you?" Her emerald eyes appeared to be dagger like through her glasses.
"N-no ma'am."
"Thank you for seeing me Mr. Arc. Feel free to come by anytime." Glynda nodded.
Jaune waved to her on his way out with the upper part of his school uniform back on, and she waved back. He groaned pleasantly as he walked from the infirmary, muttering beneath his breath. "Damn, that felt nice. Should tell her I feel sore every day after that..."
He walked to the courtyard in front of Beacon where a few students were chatting about, and he heard a sharp screech pierce the air. "Hey, uncle Qrow!"
Jaune could've sworn he saw Ruby use her Semblance as she zipped around her uncle, hugging him from different angles while giggling.
"Hey kiddo." The Hunstman rubbed the top of Ruby's head. "Where's your sister?"
"Yang's training, it's so good to see you Uncle Qrow! What brings you to Beacon?" chirped Ruby.
"Payday. Ozpin started this dumb rule that you got to come to Beacon to collect your salary. Pretty sure he's coming up with an excuse to have another boring meeting between everyone again but whatever." Qrow looked around the courtyard of his old school. "That fountain still has that crack huh?"
Jaune muttered to Yatsuhashi Daichi, a male student from Beacon who was part of Team CFVY. "Hey. Who's that?"
Yatsuhashi had a funny accent that Jaune couldn't exactly put his finger on where it came from. "That's Qrow Branwen, one of the Headmaster's top Hunstmen. I've heard he's been all over the world."
"All over the world huh?" Jaune rubbed his chin. 'Hm. Maybe he can answer a question of mine...'
Ruby and Qrow talked as Jaune walked up to him. "Hey there...you're Qrow right?"
"Yeah?" he said in his scratchy voice.
"Uncle Qrow, this is Jaune Arc. Yang likes to call him Vomit Boy."
The knight sighed. "You vomit once on a landing ship...and no one lets you forget it."
"Yup!" giggled Ruby as she showed Jaune his contact name on her Scroll.
Qrow eyed Jaune up and down. 'Seems pretty tall. Doesn't look very fast though...' he unscrewed his flask's cap and spoke in his signature growl. "So then, how can I help you?"
Jaune had a thought of his own about the man as he stared at his flask. 'He must run really deep with Ozpin if he's allowed to drink on campus...' He focused on Qrow's tired face instead. "Yeah...I was wondering if you've ever heard of a power called...The Gamer?"
"What." Qrow paused before pouring liquor into his mouth, placing it back into his grey coat.
"It's a sort of Scroll interface...but built into a dust crystal? It...lets me get better at fighting faster than anyone else..." mumbled Jaune.
"Yeah...I read about it in a book someplace," growled Qrow.
"Really?" Jaune's curious blue eyes lit up.
Qrow chuckled quietly. "No...Haven't ever heard of something so strange before actually."
"Are you sure?" implored Jaune.
"Kid I've been from one side of Remnant to other. And not once...have I ever seen a magical ability that acts like an electronic system. It's actually getting stranger the more I think about it." Qrow kicked a rock as he turned around and made for the school. "See ya later Ruby, gotta talk to Oz."
"Bye Uncle Qrow!" Ruby giggled and waved as he walked away.
Jaune looked at her waving away to her uncle. She was quite honestly the most unique girl he'd ever met. No one carried a weapon like hers, and her eyes were beyond one of a kind. For some reason, her hair was the most intriguing part of her to him. It was a strange combination of red and black that Jaune couldn't take his eyes off of.
Ruby turned to Jaune. "Hey Jaune, 'sup?"
"Not much...your hair um...it looks very pretty today..." complimented Jaune.
"Ohh!...thank you!" Ruby said in her usual peppy attitude.
[You have gained +1 Affection points on the |Ruby| |Romantic Route|! Current Relationship: Socially Awkward Team Leaders]
'Compliments are only a single point? Screw you system...' Jaune groaned in his thoughts.
"Your uncle seems really cool," Jaune said as he followed Ruby into the school.
"I barely see him anymore since I've come here to Beacon," sighed Ruby.
"Is he your uncle on your mother's side?"
She shrugged. "More like my sort of uncle. He's really Yang's mother's...nevermind. I just call him Uncle Qrow."
"How'd you do on that Evermore quiz last week?"
"All right. Weiss told me she tutored you on it."
"Weiss talks about me?" Jaune looked to Ruby.
The girl nodded. "More and more lately. You've changed a lot ever since you got your sword reforged."
"For...the better?" wondered Jaune.
Ruby's smile lit up. "I'm not one to judge anyone. It's not my place anywhere to do that."
Jaune laughed on the inside. 'Wow...I don't know who's nicer...Her or Pyrrha. I guess Pyrrha's a more kind of mature kindness, and Ruby's a cuter one.'
"Do you have anything planned today?" pondered Ruby.
"Not really. Ren and I were gonna finish up that project Oobleck gave us."
"Oh no I just realized that's due when the weekends over!" Ruby held her head. She made little pants as she zipped past other Beacon students and upstairs into the dormitories, Jaune watching the whole way. He knew she was fast in general, but he truly wondered if she just naturally used her Semblance to move around faster usually.
When he reached his dorm, Ren was reading.
"Finish it on your own?" Jaune closed the door behind him.
The other boy nodded quietly with a book in his hands.
"Thanks man. Gonna nap." Ren's team leader changed out of his school uniform, slipped himself into his bunk and fell asleep, Ren continuing to read quietly the whole time.
~000~
When he woke up from his relaxing nap, the blonde stretched and yawned with a brand new [System Notification] in front of him.
[You have slept in your bunk bed. HP and AP have been restored.]
Jaune checked his system's [Status] option by tapping his sword's crystal and saw how his [HP] and [AP] was a little higher than usual. Jaune didn't know if this was because of the nap he just took, or if he just got stronger naturally and the [System] recognized it. Either way, he took the chance to glance at his stats.
Skill Points: 0
STR: 31/100
SPD: 19/100
DEX: 30/100
STA: 25/100
INT: 13/100
WIS: 12/100
LUK: 9/100
He noticed that he had leveled up gradually by two whole levels over the last week and his stats had reflected that. He was very grateful for the system as it made him stronger than most and allowed him to progress more efficiently as a Hunstman in training. There was a knock on the door and Jaune instinctively tapped the white shard embedded into Crocea Mors and Qrow entered.
"Hey kid, I wanted to talk to you."
"Uh..." Jaune rubbed his eye. "About what?"
"About what you asked me earlier," said Qrow. "You actually have that ability, do you? It wasn't just some random off the wall question was it?"
"Nope..." Jaune chuckled. "Heh heh. Guess it was a random question."
"Ah, okay. I was just wondering." Qrow placed his hand on the doorknob and Jaune spoke out. "Wait." he said.
Jaune bit his canine into his lip. "Say...if I actually did have this power...what would you say?"
Qrow took his hand off the doorknob to Team JNPR's dorm. "Depends. Is it very powerful?"
"It's...quite easily the most powerful thing I've ever had."
"Well then I'd tell you to keep it secret. If word got out that there are shards that grant magical abilities like that...then people would be looking for them more than there already are. Can...you show me this power?" Qrow asked.
"Not really. I asked my friend Weiss if she could see it, and she said no."
"Hm." Qrow rubbed his chin. "I don't really see what you'd get out of lying about this sort of thing...so I'll take your word for it. Tell me what it's like."
"It's like a Scroll system built into this shard." Jaune tapped the crystal forged into his sword. "Whenever I get stronger, it gives me numbers and stuff telling me how far I've progressed."
"So it lets you train normally...but you get more out of it than normal."
"Yeah exactly like that. It's been really helpful. The Shard has this weird boost thing...I don't really know what it does but..." Jaune closed the [Interface] by tapping the white gem. "I've been feeling a lot stronger than usual. And this new power I got's really been helping."
Qrow looked at Jaune in the eyes. "Then you know that you can't let anyone else know about it. And do right by it."
"Yeah...yeah, I will."
Qrow nodded as he turned around and almost walked straight into the door as it opened with the rest of Team JNPR entering their shared dorm.
"Oh!" Pyrrha looked surprised at the sudden stranger. "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it." growled the man in his regular tone as he walked away.
Nora looked at Jaune sitting on his bed. "Who was that?"
"Yang's uncle...at least that's what Ruby told me." Jaune groaned quietly as he stood up wearing his white and gold shorts he used to sleep in.
"He looked like a Hunstman," remarked Pyrrha.
"Well!" Nora put her hands on her hips. "What gave it away? Could it be the massive scythe he carried on his back?" Nora leaned over a little and pointed to her lower back.
"It looked very well forged." mused Ren in his calm voice. "And it wasn't that large Nora."
Pyrrha looked at Jaune. "Did you find that hair clip of mine?" Jaune pulled it out from his nightstand's drawer. "Thank you." Pyrrha applied it to her crimson red hair.
Team JNPR mostly just burned time until they got tired by telling stories, sitting in a small circle in the middle of the dormitory.
"And then the giant monster ate the princess and her knight and they all lived happily ever after inside its stomach!" Nora raised her hands up in the air in pride. "The...glorious end!"
Pyrrha and Jaune applauded calmly as Nora bowed. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." The girl smiled and sat back down.
"What kind of stories do you have to tell Ren?" Pyrrha looked to him.
Ren pulled his novel out from under his bed. "This one's one of my favorites. Blake lent me it, it's part of a story book, and it's called the Witch and the Three Widows."
"Ooh..." Nora put her face on her hands. "Sounds dark..."
Ren began to read. "In a small village in the hills, the widows of three of the greatest warriors in their town were great friends. Without each other, they were nothing, and they were all inseparable. One night after gathering together, one of the widows walked out of the village to where the witch of the town lived far from everyone else. Most villagers avoided her...but still she entered the witch's hut and spoke to her.
'I miss my husband very dearly. And so do my friends. Please, grant us a life with them.'
The witch said that she could not bring them back, but she could grant her a vision of her husband in her sleep. She gave her a small potion and told her to drink it every night before she slept. Later that night, the widow was visited by her husband's spirit in her dreams. When she awoke, she immediately told her friends about how happy she was about seeing her fallen husband in her mind again, and how real it all felt.
The widows would then spend every night drinking this potion, visiting their husbands in their dreams. And every day, the other villagers of the town noticed how seemingly lifeless and out of touch with everything the widows became...almost as if their souls were leaving their bodies. They ate and drank and spoke very little, spending their lives almost completely in their beds sleeping. After a month of visiting their husbands in their dreams, their bodies had had enough...and the widows never awoke from their slumber.
Either way, the widows had their wishes granted, and met their husbands in a new life at last." Ren closed his book.
"Booooo!" Nora raised her downturned thumb. "Booo! That story sucked Ren! What kind of ending was that? No one got eaten!"
"It's a very sad story Nora." Pyrrha frowned.
"Try losing your whole kingdom to monsters and then getting eaten with your last soldier! Plllbbbb!" She referenced her story and crawled into her bunk bed atop Pyrrha's.
Ren shrugged as Pyrrha spoke. "I thought the moral of the story was don't get too attached to something to the point of killing yourself over it."
"Psssh, I thought it was don't drink stuff old ladies give you in their huts." Nora blew some of her orange hair out of her face.
"Jaune, what did you think it was?..." Pyrrha looked over to the blonde boy's bed. "Jaune?"
"I think he was asleep this whole time..." Nora said.
Ren turned in his bed. "I don't blame him. He's been training like crazy lately."
"I think he's a good leader! A great one!" Nora said with her head on her hands on her pillow, staring up at the ceiling.
Pyrrha agreed from below her. "He's more than that...he tries his best to be great...and even more when he wants to improve. I can tell from when we practice."
Team JNPR then all fell asleep one by one. Even Ren, whose favorite pastime was staying up late reading.
~000~
Up in Ozpin's office, Qrow spoke to him. "I talked to that kid you told me about. The yellow-haired one."
"Ah...Mr. Arc..." Ozpin stirred his tea in his hand. "What about him?"
"He doesn't seem like the kind of kid to lie."
"You'd be surprised," Ozpin smirked beneath his teacup. "But he has become surprisingly honest in his hard work, both in his studies and in training."
"Yeah well he told me about a power he had that let him become so incredibly hard-working." Qrow watched as Ozpin spun around in his chair to face him. "He told me he got it from a crystal in his sword. And it's pure magic that only he can see. You know what that means right?"
Ozpin slurped more tea calmly.
"Oz, it means it came from-"
"From Them yes. But that doesn't mean there are more of them."
"It was a dust shard. A white one but still." insisted Qrow. "That kind of power shouldn't belong to some kid. We've gotta look for more of them, and find them before She does."
"I can't really stop you from going off. Even though you are...very behind schedule on all of your assignments." Ozpin slid a small envelope across his desk which Qrow picked up.
He sighed when he opened it. "Was this for Vacuo? I told you, it wasn't-"
"It very much was your fault. But secondly, you will not look for these...things until you've been caught up on the work I've given you."
"You're telling me that grunt work is more important than looking for shards of immense power?"
Ozpin drank more tea. "Even if there were more of them. What makes you think you can find them? From what I've heard, shards of that level of power are harder to come by than anything else. You'd have an easier time counting every leaf in the Emerald Forest."
"So I'd find them eventually." flatly said Qrow.
"No, I'm saying that it's a waste of time."
"Oz I've been at your side for years...but this...this I can't do."
"I have a strong reason to believe this sort of power is one of a kind. But if another exists...we can just...use the one who already has it acquired." Ozpin drank more tea.
Qrow saw Ozpin walk around his desk and approach him. "So should I be training him myself?"
"He'll be ready when the time comes I'm sure of it. His performance thus far has given me no reason to doubt him."
That gave Qrow what he needed. "Okay...then I'll be on my way."
Ozpin nodded. "Safe travels."
"Thanks Oz." Qrow left via the elevator out of his office.
He walked out of Beacon Academy thinking. 'I think Oz's probably right. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the only one. I mean, that's a one of a kind power isn't it?' Qrow morphed into a crow and fluttered out of Beacon with a squawk.

Author's Note: Sorry for not uploading in three months, got caught up with other stuff. Next up should be Mask of the Gamer, as I am following my writing schedule...slightly? Eitherway, don't worry there will not be Gamers other than Jaune, he will be the only one. Anyways...thank you all for readin'!
