Days after the VPD's proposal, Training Room, Vale

Back when I was on Earth, beginning a career as police officer wasn't an attractive proposal nor I did give much consideration for various reasons.

Almost every Police Department was quite infamous for its inner corruption and dirty working and any possible attempts to solve this was merely delayed or halted by the lack of a government's interest toward the problem.

Being in my early twenties, I had the opportunity to be accepted in several part-time jobs as security guard for some night-club and as Parking officer.

This experience while invaluable is too much little to actually make me instated immediately as an Police Officer.

That's what my new boss, Commander Quartz, had explained directly after my acceptance to his proposal.

He is a very efficient man and the fact that he had planned my training schedule for the next year was truly proof of that.

Now here I was, dressed in a grey gym outfit and a bag with another pair of gym clothes and few small water bottles.

It was still early for the start of the activities and I was the only one being in the room.

Giving it a look, I was surprised to see how much furnished it was.

In previous experience I had noticed how much under-funded other gyms were and this was certainly a positive element. It meant that the state actually cared for the security of its people by guaranteeing a modern and ready to duty police force.

My attention turned to the entrance door, starting to hear voices coming closer to my actual position.

The door was opened by a quite large man. He had a white t-shirt with "VPD" written in a purplish tone, a pair of blue, short pants and an hat with the Police Logo. He was quite strong if his muscled form was a sign, yet the grace in his movement was sign of great temperance and the hard-look painted in his face promised extreme pain. Pain directed toward myself...

It was at this moment I understood that... I might have fricked myself up.

"Good morning, maggot. I'm Sergeant Instructor O'Hara and I don't know how you manage to skip trainee school, kid, but I will not accept lack of motivation and capacity in completing this training!"

Yep. I did this to myself. "Y-Yes sir." Inwardly I facepalm at my unconscious stuttering, knowing that showing weakness right now wouldn't have made my life easier.

"'Y-yes sir', I don't think I understood your stuttering, rookie, I will have you start now with 50 Push-Ups and a quick run for twenty times around the entire facility. Whine at any of this and you will do fine with double of this Warmup. Did I make myself clear?!"

This time I salute "Sir, Yes Sir!" Then I start to do as ordered. I start doing the Push-Ups and avoid to look once again to the Instructor. On a positive note, maybe I would be able to gain the atlethic physics I had dreamed.

Few hours later

Dangit. Dangit all. Myself and the sadistic instructor.

Once I finished the 'brief' Warmup, I had to lift several weights that weighted almost the double of my own body. Boy, if regret was going to be a recurring feeling in this year.

Right now, I was laying on the ground all sweaty and absolutely annihilated by the horrifying training I had just experienced.

"Listen up, rookie." Sergeant O'Hara barked with a blank face. "I wished to remind you that this kind of physical training isn't going to end in just two months as good ol' Quartz has said it would."

At my quizzical look, he continued. "In the VPD, we all expect utter discipline and to be in perfect shapes in all condition, in all the cases. Your meagre form would shame the entire department and this I swear will change in those first two months. Expect worse, because we will make you the ultimate agent at the end of this year."

Then he motioned at the door. "Dismissed for today, Rookie, remember to be punctual tomorrow, same hour."

Sighing in relief, I started slowly to get up. I took my bag and started to drink completely one of the water battle.

Leaving the training facility, I moved towards my new habitation.

Commander Quartz had been kind enough to offer one of the free appartments given by the Valean Council to the VPD's recruits and agents.

For now, it was tax-free and furnished with stuff for the most basic needs once every week.

I had complied when my new boss had stated that once I had started to truly work I would have paid fully for my stuff and the taxes of this home.

Once I pushed the key on the door, I opened it slowly, my muscles still sore from all the earlier physical activity.

I didn't pause to look for food, I just directed toward the quite spartan bed and, with a groan, fell on it, ready to sleep until tomorrow.

One month later

The first month of the training year had passed and I was seeing its results.

I grew a little bit taller and I had noticed the early signs of strong abs forming.

All in all, the early regret and suffering had started to wane and then vanish completely after two weeks of the ruthless schedule.

The Instructor while sadistic in his approach and strict towards any sort of lack of attempt, had shown a bit of pride in my growth.

"Maybe the possibilities of making an agent out of you are not so scarce as I had initially thought, Rookie."

That made for the determination I then started to channel in the rigorous training.

The next part of the schedule was going to start very soon and it was something I was looking forward.

One of the most important element for a VPD agent was knowing how to drive almost every possible land and air vehicles.

The Instructor was a former Bullhead pilot from Atlas. Agent Ryker was one of the best engineer of the whole Department and was proud of several medals during his services in the Atlas Military Force.

The plan was to focus initially on all theorical books, following with a written text to evaluate my own dedication to the subject. Next step was learning how to drive the vehicles with several tests to show my understandings. Last part of the plan was learning the basic engineering behind all those constructions and, while this section lacking any sort of tests, I was to join the repairing crew and lend my help to them for the last week.

All in all was a solid schedule and I didn't have much to complain.

First lesson was probably the easiest, focusing on the basic car and motorbike.

I had still with me my fresh driving license and those two vehicles were completed by godspeed.

In the few hours of free time I found myself to have, I had started to walk around Vale trying to learn more about the capital of the Kingdom.

I was initially confused when I learnt that there hasn't been a king for a while and that a noble council did all the legislative part of the government.

I also started to read about the Fauni situation. Coming from a world where racism was against skin colors and nationality, I wasn't much surprised by the early cruelty of humanity against few beings with animal-like characteristics.

Furthermore I ventured on reading more about the White Fang group from its origin to the change of the first moderate leadership of Ghira Belladonna to the one much more reclusive and less equalitarian of Sienna Khan.

The concept of an activist group that supported full equality was an admirable one, yet looking more in this argument I found it also a bit weak on its entirety. If it was supposed to promote equality for all, group should have incorporated non-fauni individuals as to promote friendship towards those two races.

A pity seeing the great conquests the group had achieved in its early years. A great pity.

The book store that I started to frequently visit was possibly one of the most warm and comforting that I've ever seen. Tukson's Book Trade 'home to every book under the sun', was probably the place I spent most of my free time.

The owner, Tukson, was a friendly guy and didn't have much problem when I asked if I could use the place to read books as if in a library. The couches were also soft and once I almost fell asleep on those. It had been a very embarassing moment to explain that situation when I was caught by Tukson. Luckily he was fine with that but reminded me that I was to read on those, not sleeping.

Seriously, coolest guy I ever heard.

Sometimes I wasn't even alone reading. I frequently saw two figures, a girl and an older guy, reading on the library zone. The girl was younger than me, long dark hair with a matching black bow and somewhat alluring yellow eyes. More than once I caught myself staring like an idiot and inwardly admonished myself everytime.

The guy was quite an enigma. He was a Bull Faunus if I had to deduce from his short horns on top of his head, always wearing a pair of red sunglasses and sometimes would glare at me, unaware that I caught him looking with so much hatred. More than I liked, I would have liked to reply his hate-filled glares with my own 'The frick you looking at, punk' trademark stare.

It was mostly the girl reading while the guy would grunt once in a while and whispering to the girl.

After the first few encounters I deduced that the girl was also a Faunus, starting to notice the rare twitching of her bow. It was strangely amusing seeing her blushing once in a while when reading her book. Yes, she was always reading the same book and had once asked Tukson what book was it.

He caught himself from downright chuckling at my question and decided to hand me a copy of it.

And that's when I started to interest myself in that 'peculiar' genre.

Being 21 years old, virgin and having never had a relationship past simple friendship the book 'Ninjas of Love' was an interesting novel that I would have immediately judged as pure smut.

But I found that the more intellectual term was 'Plot with porn'.

It was oddly reminding of an erotic version of Naruto.

The protagonist, Takashi, was a ninja prodigy at the Academy and found himself multiple times in Ecchi situations with various girls, older and younger than him.

The plot would then deepens when Takashi discovers that there is a prophecy that would have him become the greatest hero of the world.

The more I read, the more I found myself attracted by the story. Sadly, my thirst for good books made me finish it after just few weeks.

I cried silent tears when I discovered that the sequel was yet to be finished.

During those weeks I think the girl noticed my constant blushes when reading the more 'hot' scenes and I swear that I once saw her trying to see what I was reading. Luckily, for my reputation she didn't discover that I was reading the same books.

I hope so. Then I remember that she could have asked Tukson like I did regarding her book.

But the lack of any change on her normal attitude make me sure she didn't truly knew.

Maybe. The guy that would be with her once in a while had started to mutter about 'two of them' and then would fall silent and with a painful face as if he had been struck.

I don't know anymore at this point and I preferred to keep my questions to myself.

One Months later

It was barely a month later that I would be approached by the duo.

Initially the two had started to sit closer to my location and I made sure that they wouldn't notice that I had saw those attempts.

I had just finished to read the 'Third Crusade', a book-comic where the setting was similar to the Crusades back at home but it was Humans against Fauni, and was, after having put the book on its place on the shelves, starting to leave the book shop, bidding Tukson a 'good night'.

My movement were interrupted when the girl had moved away from her seat and had poked me in the shoulder.

I froze at the unfamiliar contact and slowly started to turn around.

The girl was staring at me intensely and I wanted to avoid making eye contact with her yellow orbs.

"Yes?" I preferred to limit my words, trying to avoid getting in embarassing situations. Especially before a member of the opposite sex.

"I have seen how much you have been frequenting this place and I wanted to ask you what do you think of it." I noticed a nervous undertone in her speech. It meant that I was not the only one thinking that trying this approach was awkward at best.

"It's a nice place to visit when I can." Once again I halted myself from detailing my reply, feeling unable to not mess up if it had been longer than the original.

She nodded at the strained judgement, still staring in my eyes.

My efforts of not getting melted by her stare was starting to become difficult to keep up.

"I also wanted to ask, if it is not too much personal, what kind of book you were reading last month. It seemed from your intense reading that it was.. interesting."

I blame all deities and trolls for putting in this situation. First among them that arse of Murphy.

Luckily I had a very restricted, yet truthful reply ready for that situation.

"It was one of the greatest pieces of literature I had the opportunity to taste and indulge myself into." And I said that in a straight face. Inwardly I was screaming like a mad man, praying for this to not get any worse.

I knew that my prayers failed when Tukson attempted to not to laugh at my reply, looking away from the scene. I couldn't determinate how the Bull Faunus few metres aways was reacting, but the fact that he was also facing away with one of his hands close to his mouth was kind of worrying.

The girl, that had been quite stoic in her composure and had kept her eyes on my own figure, looked away with her cheeks lit like a tomato.

...God they knew...

Almost robotically, I turned slowly toward the door and tried to get out of that quite embarassing predicament and once again was halted by the girl.

"Ehr- I forgot that I didn't present myself. N-Name's Blake."

Nodding I replied as quickly as possible, still embarassed by the whole situation. "Uh. Nice to m-meet you, Blake. My name's Eric."

She also nodded at this and decided to return to her seat, this time deep in her thoughts.

Once I had left the book shop, I was still blushing at the early embarassment and was chiding myself for my lack of backbone when talking to girls.

Sighing I moved towards home.

And boy, if I had knew that meeting Blake would have been crucial later in my life.

AN

Boy, if it was a long chapter.

Anyway, I notice that I did left much to be added about the whole 'Pairing' situation. I don't have anything against yuri or yaoi couples but I would also remind that some of those pairing needs to have a solid base to start from. Last but not least, some of those might be shot down early because the whole OC pairing is still in early development and I might do some changes in the near future.

On another note, I decided to introduce some crossover elements from a not very well known Game series.

The only thing I will say is that if you want an early taste of what I'm planning to introduce, you should look 'Pursuit Force' on YT.

See ya soon
