School has started for me, so I apologize if updates are slower. But don't worry, I have no plans of dying anytime soon. Now for our single review:
Dragon0905: All I can say is, there were no typos. Watch and see.
Now to our player in a… possibly precarious situation?
"Hey buddy, you okay?" What..? What happened? Am I dead?
"Hey! Dumbass! Open your eyes!" My eyes shoot open and adapt to the dim light. I sit up and take in the scenery of… the forest I started in? Magic clears his throat from on top of a rock next to me.
"Hey, sorry about that. I had to knock you out for a while, to fix your semblance. It locked part of itself onto the area instead of onto you. I also added some things that might help out." Magic states apologetically.
"Locked onto the area? How'd that happen?" I ask, confused. My head hurt a bit, but other than that I seemed fine.
"Trust me, kid. The whole, 'controlling fate and manipulate the universe,' thing isn't as easy as it seems. Anyways, congrats on reaching the prologue. You might even make it to season one at this rate. I left you something in your inventory." Magic says, flashing me a grin. Then my vision is filled by text boxes.

In my inventory, I see my new skillbook, as well as a bronze gear. Tapping on the gear experimentally, it disappears. A second later, a new window pops up.
[A new ability downloaded! BGM may now be chosen to play as audible to everyone in the area. This may automatically activate for certain fights. Enjoy your Gear!]
"I can see where that could be fun… So, um… How long was I out?" I ask, hesitantly. Magic smirks slyly before slowly answering.
"So far, three days. And you still are. Though you should wake up right about… now."
My eyes shoot open to reveal a white room. I see a few machines hooked up to me, beeping steadily. I sit up and see a sleeping Qrow in the chair next to the bed. I pull off the things hooked into the machines, and unsurprisingly they let out a low, continuous whine in protest. Qrow lifts his head and smirks.
"Ready to go, kid?" Qrow asks me.
"Will the nurses let me go?" I shoot back. It doesn't seem like they should…
"Sure, as long as they don't see you." Qrow replied, smirk widening. I doubted he wouldn't realize the nurses would worry. Of course he'd think that amusing…
"Maybe we can just do it the normal way? I might be able to grab some useful books." I tell him, politely shooting down his idea. Qrow sighs and hits a button on the wall, and a few seconds later a nurse walks in. She seems to be wearing pink scrubs, with shoulder length brown hair and a pair of glasses. She turns off he machines before turning to me. Her name, Natalie, as well as the title of Nurse and her level of 4 hover over her head.
"Hello, I'm Natalie, the Signal Academy nurse. Mr. Branwen said you were his new… Protégée? How are you feeling?" The nurse asks me in a kind voice, as her previously unseen cat ears twitch.
"I feel fine, now. Thank you." I tell her with a smile. I then remember something, and roll around and stretch while subtly pulling the skillbook from my inventory. As I pretend to pull it out from under my pillow, I see a new text box appear.
[Skillbook: Mana Bolt: Teaches the spell "Mana Bolt".
(Reqs Met) Learn: (Yes/No)]
I tap on yes, and both Qrow and the nurse watch amazed as, for the second time, the book in my hands explode into motes of light, and absorb into me.
[Through use of a book, new Spell gained!][Spell skill section unlocked!][Mana Bolt (active): 25 MP: A spherical bolt of mana is launched from the palm toward your foes, for 50 HP worth of damage.]
I smile and look at the nurse, putting together what I'm going to say before I start. I clear my throat to get her attention, and begin my line.
"My semblance allows me to absorb the information in books. Maybe I could get a few books on how to do hospital things, so I can help patch others up?" I ask, trying to be as sweet as possible.
[Through specific action, a skill has been gained!][Lying (passive): Lie like a smooth criminal! +1% to lie believability]
"Hmm… Well, we do have a spare textbook or two. But they're in the storage room everyone keeps saying is haunted. Come back another time and clear it out, and you can have them." Natalie says with a smile. Qrow nods and stands up. I go to do the same, but Qrow raises a hand, and the nurse hands me a pile of clothes. I smile and accept the clothes as they step out, a quest window popping up.
[Quest: In A Box]
[Objective: Search the Signal Hospital's haunted storage area for the source of the commotion.
Bonus objective(s): ?
Reward: 500 exp, Skillbook(s): ?, Friend: Natalie Alson
Bonus Reward(s): ?
Time Limit: Until hospital stops, someone dies in the haunted storage area, or 1 week.]
[Accept / Decline]
I hit the accept button as I walk out the room, to see both Qrow and the nurse waiting for me. They lead my fully clothed form to the entrance of the hospital and sign me out. I tell Natalie to expect me back within the week. Qrow leads me over, and as we ride a Bullhead back towards the main city on the island, I watch out the window.
The view really is amazing from up here.
I wanted this to be longer, but it took me most of the week just to get this. I hope you all enjoy the twists and turns I've made. Leave a review, follow, and favorite if you liked it. Sorry for length.
