While looking at the relic pieces, which Jeremy deduced as being Old World chess pieces, or at least based on them, he thought he heard something. Looking around, he noticed flashes of black, white, and red in the trees surrounding the open space they were in. "We have company." He said, putting the relic in his pocket and grabbing his shotgun, which was also the main sheath to Laticuada, his telescopic katana. He drew it, deciding to keep his shotgun there for now. He stood there while the others drew their weapons, figuring that the Grimm were Beowolves, he warned them as such, and was not disappointed.
As the Grimm rushed out of the woods, Jeremy sliced ones head, pulling out his shotgun and blowing it off. He noticed that there were more Grimm than he had thought, and groaned to himself. He killed a few more Grimm, and, upon noticing that the others were not doing as good as him, decided to use his Semblance. He drew power from the matter around him, then threw his arms out, creating a wave that started to dissolve the Grimm.
He noticed that, while good fighters, the others were not doing as well as they should have, considering they were even at Beacon. "Hey Jeremy, I could use some help over here!" Yarushika shouted, shooting a few Grimm with his rifle, and slicing and stabbing others with his sword.
"Coming!" Jeremy said, jumping over a Beowolf and shooting it in the back. Upon reaching Yarushika, Jeremy shot a few Grimm, and used his Semblance once again, creating a wide hole in the group of Grimm. After he used his Semblance the second time he started to feel a bit dizzy and, moving to the center, fainted upon reaching the ruins.
Jeremy was walking through a ruined part of Vytal, noticing that there were people running in the opposite way of Junior's club, which was not something you saw everyday. As he walked towards Junior's club, he noticed that a small girl in red was doing the same thing, but from further away. As he neared the club, the saw a small group of thugs harassing someone.
"Hey, is there a problem?" Jeremy asked, standing behind the group. "Nothing you need to worry about." Responded one of the thugs, turning to him. "If your in my way then it is my problem." Jeremy retorted, standing in a defensive position. "If you don't move on pet, you are going to get hurt." Said another thug, turning to him.
The thugs attacked, each in no way what so ever coordinated. Jeremy easily deflected their attacks, knocking each one out in turn. After he knocked them out, he made sure that they wouldn't sneak up on him when he walked away by snapping their necks.
After he was sure he would be safe, he continued on to Junior's club. Upon reaching it, he saw and heard a big explosion, noticing Junior fly out of a window, landing at the girl in red's feet. After Junior landed, he saw a girl with long, curly yellow hair jump out of the window and interact with the girl in red.
With a start, he woke up, seeing that the last of the Grimm were dissolving. "Wha-what happened?" He said groaning and rubbing his head. "Well, you fainted and we killed the remaining Grimm, and we have been sitting here now for..." Yarushika paused, checking the time. "Thirty minutes." He said, putting his scroll away.
"Oh, wow. Anyway, lets get back to the cliff and get to Beacon." Jeremy said, standing up. "Yeah, lets go." One of the other initiates said, walking towards the cliff.
After reaching the cliff, Jeremy realized something, something potentially journey ending. "Uh, how do we get up there, exactly?" Asked Yarushika, looking up the cliff face. "I guess we climb." Said Jeremy, pulling out his katana
*Five hours later*
After reaching the top, Jeremy collapsed on the ground, along with Yarushika and the others. "I never thought I would hate cardio workout." Jeremy said, chuckling, then grunting when Yarushika lightly elbowed him, driving what little breath was left out of him.
After they were all rested, they stood up and walked back to Beacon, not even noticing the Giant Nevermore get decapitated some distance away.
