It's OK, Omega is here. I made some changes to my other chapters, since I still have to solidify what I need to do with this story. This is quite possible my longest chapter yet, so I hope you enjoy!
About a week and a half passed, since my fight with Jaune. Since I had no classes, I could literally spend all my time training. I mainly improved my physical stats, because that was always the build I went for whenever I played a RPG. I also gained a title and a class from my occasional sparring matches. My current status is as follows:
Cyan F. Matu Lvl: 18. EXP: 684/15000 HP: 10845/10845 MP: 400/400 SP: 8745/8745
Class: Brawler-+20 VIT, +20 STR(Gained by fighting twenty-five sparring matches)
Sub-Class: N/A
Title: The Puncher-+20% damage to Hand-to-Hand Skills(Gained by increasing my Hand-to-Hand skill to level 50)
Currency: 979 Lien
Stats: STR: 40+20
DEX: 30
VIT: 35+20
INT: 30
WIS: 20
LUC: 6
Free points: 28
And thanks to my little pep talk, Jaune was steadily getting better. His level already having gone from seven to ten, and growing closer to eleven. Althouh, Jaune still seemed to suffer from a lack of self-confidence, even with the help from his team.
I had just finished my morning workout and was heading to the cafeteria to get something to eat, since it was around lunch time. I may not need to eat because of 'The Gamer', but it still felt good to eat something every once in a while.
I went into the cafeteria, grabbed a ton of fruit, and looked for somewhere to sit. Thankfully, both Team RWBY and Team JNPR were here.
"Hey guys!" I call out, taking a seat next to Ruby and across from Jaune. "What are we talking about?"
"Nothing." Jaunes answers, although his tone of voice suggests otherwise.
"Anyone besides Jaune want to answer that?" I ask.
"We were talking about Cardin bullying Jaune," Pyrrha answers, a scowl present of her face.
"Oh come on, guys!" Jaune exclaims. "Cardin just likes to mess around. Name one time he's 'bullied' me."
"He's knocked your books out of your hands, activated your shield while you were in a doorway, and he shoved you into a rocket-propelled locker with random coordinates." I list off the instances on my hand, while I toss blueberries in my mouth. Jaunes looks like he's about to say something, but I cut him off. "And before you say that you didn't land far from the school, that was by sheer luck alone."
Jaune starts looking nervous, well even more than he was, but before he says anything else, an accented cry hits our ears followed by doushish laughter.
"Oww! Stop, that hurts!"
"Hahaha, I told you they were real!"
"What a freak!"
I look over to see Cardin yanking on Velvet's ears, while his team laughs their asses off.
"GRRRRRR!" I let loose a feral growl from the back of my throat. "On that note, Jaune don't go anywhere I still have something to say, but at the moment, I have to go kill that son of a bitch!"
Before anyone could stop me, I had equipped Alpha and Omega, and was walking over to Cardin. Within the span of a second, Alpha was at his throat, and Omega was at his crotch.
"Let the girl go, NOW!" I command.
"What the hell d-" Cardin cuts himself off, when I press Alpha closer to his throat.
"Did I fucking stutter?! I said, let go of her!" My words were getting the attention of the whole cafeteria, but what did I care? NO one hurts a bunny girl on my watch.
This time Cardin does the smart thing and lets go. Velvet steps away from the two of us, as she rubbed her injured ear. Still holding my weapons to Cardin's neck, I see that his team was starting to surround me. I let them, seeing as how it would be good for a laugh.
"Do you really want to do this with Professor Goodwitch standing right there?" I ask. Thankfully, since there stupid, they all looked away. Which gave me just enough time to punch the mohawk guy in the stomach, uppercut one of the others, and knee the last one in the nuts. I had honestly never bothered to spend the time it would take to look up their names(A/N: and I don't plan to!).
"Now then," I say turning back to Cardin. "Do you want to be completly humiliated or do you want to leave?"
Without a second thought, Cardin ran out of the cafeteria shouting "You'll pay for this." As he did, his teammates soon followed, well less followed, and more I threw them at Cardin as her ran.
"Now that, that's done," I say as I dust off my hands. I turn towards Velvet, who was seemingly frozen in shock. "Are you alright, Velvet?"
My words knock her out of her stupor. "Y-yes, I'm fine, but how do you know my name?"
"My semblance allows me to see a person's name as well as a rough approxiamtion of their experience/fighting ability." Speaking of which. I look up at her heading.
[Velvet Scarlatina Lvl 54]
Damn, that's pretty high. Well, she is a second year, so it does make sense. Turning my attention back to the incredibly cute bunny girl, I stick out my hand for her to shake. "Name's Cyan F. Matu by the way, pleasure to meet you."
She accepts the gesture. "I-it's nice to meet you as well."
I smile at her nervousness, admittedly finding it adorable as hell. "Would you like to sit with me and my friends, safety in numbers and all that?"
"I'd be happy to!" Velvet answers with a smile.
Me and Velvet walk over to the RWBY and JNPR table and sit down with everyone else. It's then I notice that everyone was staring at me with their jaws hanging open, except Nora who was still happily eating pancakes.
"What?" I ask.
"You never said that you were a faunus." Weiss states with the tiniest bit of hostility causing Blake to glare at her.
"But I'm not a-Ohhh, this about the growling thing isn't it?" They all nod their heads in confirmation. "Well, I am an phenominal copycat anything I see I can do with enough time. When I was a kid I wanted to be able to the wolf growl thing, so I looked up a video of someone doing it and a week later, I could imitate it perfectly."
"Aside from that," Blake says. "That was an incredibly foolish thing to just rush in their like that."
"So, I was just supposed to let Velvet here, get bullied for something she's had since birth?"
"Well, no but-"
"Look, I'm not much of a planning ahead kind of person. I generally just go with the first thing that pops into my head, and what popped into my head then was to shove my fist down those jackasses throats." I tell them in a tone that barters no arguement. "Going back to what I was saying beforehand, Jaune why are you at Beacon?"
Jaune seems to be stupified for a moment, but answers nontheless. "To become a huntsman."
"Really? Cause, by the way you've been letting Cardin walk all over you, I thought it was to become a doormat." With people like Jaune, the best strategy is to be blunt as hell, something I happened to specialize in. "Jaune you can't become a huntsman, if you let people treat you like Cardin has, because eventually you won't be able to break that state of mind, and you'll be unable to stand up for yourself when it matters most."
My words seem to strike a cord in Jaune, he's quiet for a minute, before a look of pure resolution appears on his face. "You're right! I can't let bullies like Cardin push me around anymore! I'll become stronger, so that I can stand up for those who can't do it for themselves!"
"Good for you, Jaune." Pyrrha says with a smile.
"Yeah, good for you, Jauney!" Nora exclaims. "If anyone messes with us, we'll break their legs!"
Ren just smiles approvingly.
"On the note of getting stronger, I was planning on making a training trip into the emerald forest, anyone want to go with?" After I said that, I could swear I heard a record scratch.
"Are you insane?!" Weiss screeches. "You can't even beat one of us in a fight, and you want to go running into the emerald forest? Do you have a deathwish?"
"Easy there, Weissicle," Yang says. "But yeah, going into that place is no laughing matter, you're going to get yourself killed."
"That's why I'm asking for you guys to go with me," I tell them. "Besides my real talent isn't with tournament style matches, I prefer something a little more... wild."
Jaune stays quiet for a little bit, before looking towards his team, when they nod, he announces. "Team JNPR is in!"
"Team RWBY is too!" Ruby cheers.
"We can't you dolt! As much as I would love to see you crash and burn, we have to do that assignment for Professor Port." Weiss shuts down her red-themed leader, although I can see the tiniest bit of warmth behind her eyes.
Ooooo, looks like I have a side project to work on. Wait, getting off track. I shake my head of my thoughts and turn towards Ruby. "Sorry Rubes, maybe next time."
"Now then, we set off tommorow at 1!" I announce to Team JNPR. "Until then, Jaune I think it's time you tell your team about that thing."
Jaune nods, "I will."
"Great! See you then," I say goodbye to the two teams and Velvet, before heading off to the library for some intelligence and talisman grinding.
The next day I met up with Team JNPR, set them a party invite, and we set off into the forest. While we were walking, I talked to Jaune.
"How'd they take it?" I ask.
"Pretty well," Jaune tells me. "Pyrrha was worried the headmaster would find out, Ren was impressed that I managed to fool Beacon, and Nora was, well Nora."
"That's great. Oh, and FYI, Ozpin already knows about the fake transcripts."
"He does!" Jaune exlcaims.
"Of course he does. Jaune, if Ozpin was fooled by something as simple as fake transcripts, then Beacon would be overun with assassins and spies. Even with the fake transcripts, Ozpin let you into Beacon because of your potential, and that is something to be proud of."
"AWOOOOOOOOO!"
Before Jaune could reply, a pack of beowolves surround us.
"Looks like we have some company," I say with a grin, while I equip Alpha and Omega. I decide to start the fight with a quote. "Okay guys, look alive, stay alive!"
After that, the fight kinda melted into a pattern. Stab and shoot, stab and shoot, stab and shoot, stab and shoot, stab an-DODGE.
Barely avoiding a giant black fist aimed at my head, I jump over to Team JNPR who had already finished off the beowolves. Where I previously stood was a fairly large grimm. At least seven feet tall with a bull's lower half and a humanoid torso. The grimm's head was also bull-shaped with a white mask complete with a set of horns that could skewer entire cows. On top of it all, it had four health bars below it's name.
[Minotaur(youth) Level 50]
If that's the youth, then I really don't want to see the adult. The grimm roars at us, nearly shattering my eardrums, and then it lifted it's arm and did something I honestly didn't expect.
[Mintoaur(youth) has challenged you to a duel! Do you accept? (Yes) (No)]
"What the hell!" I exclaim.
"Were running away, right?" Jaune asks, seeing the blue box that hovered in front of me.
"Hell YES!" I pause, before realizing what I just did.
[Duel has been accepted.]
New quest has been recieved! Deathmatch
Defeat the Mintoaur(youth) [ ]
Reward: +50,000 EXP, +10,000 Lien, +1 skillbook
"FUCK!" I curse, quite violently, when a countdown clock appears in my vision going down from 100.
"Did you just?" Jaune asked.
"Yes, yes I did." I admit, while Pyrrha tried to walk forward but was getting stopped by something.
"I can't get through!" Pyrrha says with a touch of anger. "I'd help you, but there's something blocking me from getting to you."
"I kind of expected that, it's a one-on-one duel, no outside inteference is allowed."
"Aww, but I wanted to break that thing's legs," Nora pouts.
"Sorry Nora, but it doesn't look like thats changing anytime soon," I tell the bubbly girl. "I may be able to survive this, but its not going to be easy."
Okay, first step to not dying, use all remaining free points. I put ten points into STR and VIT, and then put the remaining points into DEX.
[For increasing your STR to 50 you have gained the skill: Power Hit(passive)]
[Power Hit(passive) Level: 1 EXP: 000/500 This Skill increases the power of your punches by 50%]
That'll be useful, but I still need something to give me a boost . . . Highschool DxD, Dragon, Fairy tail, laxus, electricity, KILLUA!
"Quick, give me any lightning dust you may have!"
Ren immediatly tosses me a yellow crystal, to which I raise an eyebrow at him.
"I keep it in case Nora needs a power-up."
"Fair enough. Okay, what I am about to do is incredibly stupid, but bear with me, because it may work." Before they could say anything, I raised the crystal up and took a bite out of it.
Pain unlike any I had ever felt before erupted in my body, it felt like my an entire being was being atomized. I could vaguely hear screaming through the pain, it took a very cliche moment for me to realize that they were my screams. As my health bar slowly drained, Gamer's Mind pulled through and my thoughts cleared, allowing me to gain control.
I WILL MAKE THIS POWER MINE, GOD DAMMIT! I will take it into my very being, make it my own! I used my aura to absorb the electricity, not just trying to nullify it, but make it part of my very being. Then as quickly as it appeared, the pain vanished, replaced with a burning power deep withing my soul.
[Through a very stupid action, a new skill has been learned! Lightning Dragon Slayer magic(passive)]
[Lightning Dragon Slayer magic(passive) Level: 1 EXP: 000/500 A type of lost magic, given to mankind by dragons themselves. This magic will allow you to make electricty a part of your very being, controlling it, absorbing it, and fighting with it.]
I was expecting something along the lines of electricity manipulation, not actual Lightning Dragon Slayer magic. This is unexptected, but not unwelcome. I shake away my thoughts to see a shocked Team JNPR staring at me with their jaws dropped, even Nora. They were farther away then I remembered, looking at the ground tells me that I may have been discharging electricity by accident. I feel like being a troll, so I smile and wave at them. "Hey guys! What's up?!"
Their four shocked faces were so worth the pain. I return my focus on the countdown clock and saw that there was about ten seconds left.
"Well guys, wish me luck!" I give an offhanded salute to my four stupified friends. I put Alpha and Omega back into my inventory, and raise my fists in preparation for the coming battle. The Mintoaur did something similar, and started dragging it's hoofed feet against the ground.
I almost forgot the most important thing about an epic showdown. Playlist 'Epic Battle Music'. Guitars started playing in my head, making my blood pump even faster than it was, and when the clock hit 0, two words rang out.
'ONE PAAAWWWWNNCH!'
Adrenaline pumping in my veins, I charge the grimm with my left fist raised, and as the grimm also charged I shouted the iconic words. "Lightning Dragon Iron FIST!"
Our two punches met in the center of our 'arena' and the air rippled from the force. Instead of getting blown back like a ragdoll, like any sane person would think, I didn't move an inch. Instead it was the grimm that pulled back first, when my newly aquired electrical powers singed it's fur.
As the grimm pulled back enraged, I look down at my own fist, and an even larger grin than the one I had previously been wearing appeared on my face. "Oh fuck the hell yes."
I started wailing on the minotaur, each punch barely moving it's health bar, but I made up for the lack of damage with an unrelenting assualt. Occasionally, the grimm would recover enough to throw a punch, but the sheer adrenaline flowing through my veins let me dodge the attack, or simply take it and feel nothing. I didn't know when, but at some point I had started laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I must have looked insane, fighting a giant grimm while laughing my head off, but I didn't care the thrill of the fight was too much fun not laugh.
After knocking off one and a half health bars, I momentarily stopped my assault. Jumping from the grimm, I take a moment to observe my handiwork. There were scorch marks all over the blackened body of the grimm, and I also saw that I had broken one of it's horns at the base.
My grin grows even larger, if that was even possible, as I activate another skill. Half of my MP gauge drained instantly, as the power gathered in my throat and mouth.
"Lightning dragon ROOOOOOAARRRRR!" I let loose the beam of pure destruction right in the grimm's face, the yellow beam enveloping the it entirely.
When the smoke cleared, I saw that the minotaur had half a health bar left, and it had the paralysis status effect for a full minute.
Fwoooo, that's pretty long for a status effect. But then, I did just attack it with enough electricity to power a city for a month. Well, I guess this is where I end it.
I walk towards the paralyzed beast, and place my hand about an inch from it's chest. Using the last of my MP, I calmly speak.
"Cyan style: Kaiser Impact," and push my hand forward.
The grimm exploded, literally.
If those things didn't dissolve when they died, their would be blood and guts everywhere, and Jaune would most likely be emptying his stomach.

"Fwooooo," At the sight of the rewards, I couldn't help but whistle. Speaking of rewards, looking at where the grimm had previously been, I see the various drops. They consisted of 10 dust crystal, a stack of lien, a couple red potions, and a scroll(the ancient kind, not the RWBY kind).
I grabbed the dust, lien, and potions, and slip them into my inventory. When I touch the scroll, I am instantly greeted with a info box.
A new quest has been added! The Labryinth

That's going to be interesting.
"CYAN!" Oh crap, forgot about JNPR.
I turn towards the call of my name, seeing Team JNPR running towars me with a mix of expressions. Worry from Jaune and Pyrrha, Bubbly excitement from Nora, and quiet stoicism from Ren with a touch of worry.
"Are you alright?" Jaune asked, making me smile at his concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine. See, not a scratch on me," I open my arms wide to show there was, in fact, not a scratch on me. Although, doing that made me notice that I had 10 HP left in my health bar. I immediatly drank five of my health potions, bringing me to hal health. "Okay, now I'm fine."
"That was a very foolish thing to do," Ren told me, Pyrrha nodding as he did.
"Maybe, but I knew that from the get-go. Here's a replacement for the crystal I took by the way," I toss Ren one of the dust crystals I had just obtained. "Although, I am fearing what comes next."
"And what would that be?" Pyrrha asked in a tone that was half-scolding and half-worry.
" !"
"That," I say, pointing at a very pissed looking Glynda Goodwitch. "Nora could you grab the drops from the grimm for me?"
"I'm on it!" Nora said with a salute, as she dashed away.
While Nora did that, I walked over to Professor Goodwitch resigning to my fate.
Just to inform you, I'm going to start putting little fun fact notices at the end of some chapters, to tell you guys about certain tidbits I don't show in the story, starting now.
Fun fact: The thing were Cyan jumps from topic to topic in his head that gives him the eating dust idea is something I do a lot. One word will send my mind across a myriad of random ass topics for no reason other than they remind me of them.
Feel free to leave reviews or private message me about questions, ideas, or even puns(I can't make puns) for the story, I am always open for ideas. See you next time, OK is out!
