(A/N: The narrator is a character in the story, not me. I have no idea why I keep putting this here, it's like the 3rd chapter in a row.
In response to reviews from chapter 5:
Fantasy OH YEAH: Thanks again man and I sure will try to keep it up. Also, I don't intend to have Jaune do that and if he does it will end badly for whoever he tells.
Remzal Von Enili: Sadly not, while I did consider that at first but I decided against it in the end for various reasons.
Hey, guess what? I solved all my problems by doing one thing (by problems I mean that dumb Beowulf and Jaune going back to civilisation... git). Anyway you can probably guess what I did... no, why would I do that? You know what, why don't I just tell you okay?
Basically I kicked the Beowulf out and don't worry I made sure he won't get to Jaune immediately. No matter how much he deserves it.

Chapter 6: The blacksmith and a Stationary man
The village Jaune had come to was actually pretty big, more of a town. It must have survived long enough to grow this big, which meant some good protection. In other words, hunters. And hunters need a lot of weapon maintenance so that meant a pretty decent blacksmith. Now it was only a matter of finding it.
However, Jaune was having a bit of trouble carrying out that seemingly simple action. He really didn't want to ask for directions, but it had been quite a while and the Arc was getting desperate. Luckily he had caught sight of a hunter-ish looking teenager with a rather strange looking mace. Probably a hunter in training. 'He should know where the blacksmith is, were else would he get his weapon?'
Cardin Winchester - Level 11
Title: High on his own Horse
Health: 100/100
Aura: Locked
Next to Mr. Winchester were two other boys, one was named Dove, the other called Sky. They were all sitting down at a cafe as most of the other customers gave them dirty looks. It wasn't really the type of atmosphere you would expect on a day like this but Jaune? He didn't even seem to notice the odd occurrence. The two boys laughed at something Cardin seemed to say. They were definitely fake laughs.
See, Cardin's dad, or the mayor, was actually a relatively alright person but always seemed to be busy. This left his son mainly in the care of his uncle, the very powerful, racist hunter. Jaune however, just waltzed right up to the three of them and ,while getting strange looks, tapped Cardin on the shoulder. The stocky teenager immediately turned around to see a boy in slightly ripped clothing smiling at him. "Hello there" Jaune said to the clearly confused child "Would you mind directing me in the direction of yo-"
"Who are you?" Cardin asked an angry look on his face
"I'm Jaune, and I'm looking for your town's blacksmith" Jaune asked mentally screaming at how awkward he must of sounded.
"I wouldn't bother weirdo, she's a fanus" Cardin answered turning away
"And why would that matter?"Jaune asked confused. The question causexCardin to whip back round with an audible swish.
"Because they're savages you idiot" Cardin said with a dumbfounded look.
"They aren't savages there peo-" before Jaune could finish yelling, a hand grabbed his shoulder. It was a redhead woman. "Don't bother kid, you can't get through to people like him" With the brief moment of shock, from her random appearance, gamers mind calmed Jaune back down.
"What the hell is that meant to mean?!" came the angry retort from the chestnut haired brute but the lady just dragged the Arc away, ignoring the Winchester. Cardin yelled at them before ultimately giving up and sitting back down in a huff.

"Sorry about that kid, Cardin's a real piece of work" said the strange woman as she finally let Jaune go. She had dragged the boy all the way to a seemingly random store front. The woman stood only slightly taller then Jaune and had a rather comforting air about her. Her hair was long and red and their were some strange patches of slightly darker skin on her face.
"You said you were looking for the blacksmith's right?" the lady said as she gestured to the storefront. "Well here we are, my shop. Name's Leena by the way, and yeah I know kinda old-fashioned, right? Leena laughed as she walked into her shop, shaking Jaune out of his weird freeze at the sudden resolution of one of his problems. Something still occurred to him though, so he ,of course, immediately asked about it.
"Wasn't the blacksmith meant to be a faunas? He asked as he entered through the shop's entrance. Leena laughed before turning around and shifting her skin into a red colour. Jaune fell back with a yelp landing on the wooden floor. The blacksmith could hardly contain her laughter as she changed her skin tone back. Recovering slightly from the random shock, he picked himself up and then he asked "So you're a chameleon?"
"Yep" Leena said finally calming down "But kid that reaction was perfect, you made my day man". The woman began to walk further into the shop towards a back door. As she had turned her attention away from him, he finally got to have a good look around.
It was probably a pretty large shop but rows of weapons were strung on wooden shelves which seemed to crowd every corner. They varied from small handguns to huge hammers and some weird others, which were probably custom creations. There was even a scythe on the wall! The one obvious path through all of it was to a counter with only a till on it and a chair behind it. However, next to the counter was a steel door ,with a faint glow coming from underneath it. It seemed to be the door Leena was walking to. "Come on kid" Leena said gesturing with her right hand "I ain't got all day".

After Jaune had chosen his design for his weapon, he had to wait a while for it to be actually created. So, he asked Leena if there was anything he could do around town. She had immediately handed him a rather standard sword and told him to head to the south of the village. Apparently there was a hunter who need 'help' on a local mission and Jaune had been perfect for it. While he tried to head towards the gate he passed by some shops he could vist later. After he got the reward money from the quest of course, right now, he couldn't afford a thing. I mean he had exclusively hunted food for the last week. Eventually he made it to his destination and saw a lean man standing there. In his hand was a long, thin sword with some type of mechanical component on the handle. Hie was dressed in a simple black suit and blue tie, it seemed to fit with his black eyes and black, short cut hair.
Iron Ion - Level ???
Title: Mr Stationary
'Well that doesn't give me much to work with, maybe he's just to far above me. Makes me see how far I've got to go... oh well, I got time' Jaune thought as he waved to the man. Iron only turned his head in response before saying "Come". The Arc followed his command and stood by him "We must wait, Chief hunter coming." the hunter seemed to speak in broken Valen with a thick Vacuen accent (A/N: It's like an equivalent of a Spanish accent). So they waited... and then waited a bit more and... a bit more. "Why?" Jaune asked awkwardly to try and break up the silence.
"His mission, he eradicate all other Grimm nests. That's why town put up with him and Cardin." the Ion paused for a second before saying one last thing. "If he rude, don't take personally. He Hunter Chief for reason."
With that he fell silent and didn't seem to want to continue talking. After about 20 minutes of Jaune watching strangers pass by a booming voice rang out. "IRON! Who the hell is this?!" it was Cardin's uncle and he was huge! He seemed to stand high above everyone and his arms bulged with strength and muscle mass.
Reagan Winchester - Level ???
Title: The Betrayed Protector
Over his shoulder he had a giant war hammer and a look on his face Jaune couldn't quite place.
"He," Iron said calmly pointing at Jaune "Is help". The huge man stared at the comparatively small boy and just grunted before asking Iron "Does he have aura?" He seemed to have stopped but before Iron could speak he began talking again "Do you know what, it doesn't matter. Let's just move". He didn't wait for a response.
LineBreak
As they walked through the forest Jaune began to see how many Grimm that Reagan had killed. Well to be more exact he actually saw nothing at all because there were no Grimm anywhere. He could see why they put up with his mistreatment, and Cardin's, of the faunas. In exchange for turning a blind eye every so often, they could live a relatively normal life. Of course they gave dirty looks to them now and again to seemingly justify their own actions. They would never do anything though. Hey, as long as it wasn't them they didn't care, but Jaune? He found it disgusting that people just stood by as people were berated. However, alone, he didn't stand a chance. And even if he did, it could leave the village defenceless without them. You just couldn't win.
The blonde was thrown out of his thoughts by Iron's hand grabbing his shoulder. They had reached their destination, a shit ton of lakes.
