Chapter 9: Familiar Faces
Today is the day of Tanya's military training, where she's heading straight to Atlas Academy to learn. Despite being six years old, she is willing to become a prestigious officer as she wouldn't have to fight on the frontlines against the Grimm unlike being a Huntress that Ruby keeps dreaming over. Tanya did try to discourage Ruby's dreams of becoming a huntress from the many years being with her, but Ruby refuses to heed on Tanya's warning. As she really wants to become like her mother by the stories they told her and the Media that constantly glamorous them. To feel like the hero in the story, to help people in their need.
But her anger is still growing of the revelation of what Being X did to her and her soul remains unequal to Ruby's brighter one. Every time Ruby's bright soul gets bigger, Tanya's soul remains squashed by her. But to Ruby, she felt something menacing radiating out from Tanya's soul like she's touching a black tar of nothingness. Her thoughts eventually calm down over Ruby's vow, but her grudge is becoming unyielding.
While in the state of anger, the twins didn't notice a black tar was crawling under their feet and Tanya instantly forgot what she said while her mind is in absolute ire. Ruby notice it at first, but it quickly disappears from her senses and could not identify what it is to describe to Tanya of the thing she encountered.
Alright, Ruby, this is my day. So please, let me in control this time and don't make a fool of yourself while we're in Atlas Academy. Telling Ruby to behave and letting Tanya take control this time, Ruby happily agree. Of where the two are at, they are inside a high-class Atlasian airship with General Ironwood sitting next to them. The air conditioner warming the high-status individuals who are inside the ship and the superb luxury they are in with the air filled with pretentious attitude. Despite Ironwood of not enjoying having a child studying in his academy, but orders are orders from the head councilors. So he has no choice but to comply.
Got it, sis! Let the light guide us of our adventure! Wearing their thick white coat to deal with the massive blizzard at Atlas capital when they get there and under it is their Atlas uniform, Ruby could not wait to explore Atlas while Tanya is waiting for this ship to arrive at its destination.
Although, every time Ruby say something religious that relates to Being X. Tanya will get infuriated, but kept her thought to herself of not wanting to offend Ruby. So in due time, Tanya will tolerate Ruby's new religious views and find a way to counter Ruby's stronger soul…or getting out of this body.
In some weird kind of way, being trapped in Ruby for a long time or Ruby's emotion influencing Tanya's rational views, the Devil kind of developed an emotional bond for Ruby's wellbeing. But that emotional attachment sort of died when Ruby made a deal with Being X, the god that tortured her in a decade and a half prior. Thinking about Ruby's deal to blindly become a pawn of the god of light made Tanya extremely bitter to no end, her burning hatred grows more every time Ruby keep mentioning about her god.
To Ruby, she felt distrustful of Tanya and what she did in her previous life at first. But hearing the revelation of what happened to her twin sister that their mother revealed and learning the suffering that Tanya went. She becomes attached to Tanya more than ever and finding a way to forgive herself for vowing to the god that Tanya hates. Even though Tanya is a bit thorny and skeptical about her views, Tanya is her own twin sister after all. So Ruby is trying to make up for it and tries to understand Tanya's point of view.
Even if there's some tension between the two, they still interact with each other and their relationship became more complicated since they're both trapped in a single body. But that particular dream they had a few months ago made them reconsider on fixing their relationship. Sending them shivers of watching everything destroyed in mere seconds.
"All passengers, we will be arriving Atlas in one minute, have a safe trip in our snowy capital." Ruby's eyes turn golden when the automated voice told them they were nearing General Ironwood's academy. So obeying Tanya's demands, Ruby let Tanya take control of their body from their promise and not wanting to ruin Tanya's training. Besides, it's a birthday promise that Ruby made when her parents redo their birthday. Speaking of parents, Ruby remembers their departure and receiving so much support from them.
At the Airship station where General Ironwood is waiting for the twins arrival. The General turned his head to see a small family talking to their little girl. Qrow, Tai, Summer, and Yang are there to give the twins a farewell departure away from home. But most importantly, their mother is the most supportive of them.
"Be safe of your journey you two. Please, do not get hurt Tige. I don't want to lose you again." The twins felt their mother's tight embrace around them. To Tanya, she frequently encounters Summer's maternal protectiveness when she revealed what happened to her. The Devil could not help but feel sorry for Summer since Being X toyed with their mother on her childbirth.
"Mother, please. I can handle myself. I know you're mourning over me, but I am here, alive inside of Ruby's body." Tanya who awkwardly tries to comfort Summer again, but she only got a tight hug wrapped around the twins' body and a warm smile as her tears flowing down on them.
"Yes I know sweetie, I'm just really glad that you're okay…thank you for that little comfort. So now, you two go out run like warriors and prepare for your future. Be safe while you're at Atlas and be a hero that you dreamed of Ruby." Getting up and giving her motherly warm smile that would melt anyone's heart. Even though Tanya is aloof to everyone and tries to remain stoic, she could not help but smile back. Ruby wholeheartedly nods her head to her mother, dreaming to become a powerful huntress in the future.
"Yeah, I'll remember that mom." Before they could head straight to General Ironwood, Yang ran up to the twins and holding a Scroll in her right hand.
"Hey Tanny and Rubes, before you go, here's a Scroll that we bought for you guys so you can contact us." The twins grabbed their Scroll and Ruby's silver eyes cheerfully look up to their big sister's lilac eyes. In doing so, Ruby happily replied back.
"Thanks, sis, I'll remember to call you back if I have the time!" With all their family bonding, a cough is heard from General Ironwood and they all look back at the Atlas General.
"I know it's rude for me to break this moment, but our ride is here. Tanya, would you please?" Ruby's silver eyes turn to gold and formally greeted the General right in front of her.
"Yes General Ironwood, let's be off to your academy." With that, they headed to their designated airship.
As Ruby finish recalling that particular memory. The airship jolted to see they have landed on Atlas's Airship station. Seeing the towering buildings that covered the snowy landscape, dust crystals floating in the sky and high-tech technology being implemented everywhere like bulky soldier drones patrolling the streets. Tanya feels it is like the Empire she previously reincarnated with better technology and the militaristic atmosphere. But she thinks again, is she going to meet pretentious military officials who smoke a lot and contradicting Tanya's plans? She hopes not.
Stepping outside with General Ironwood besides them, they were hit with negative degree Fahrenheit that their body is starting to shiver from the cold temperature. Fortunately, they are wearing thick clothing to counteract the sheer cold temperature of Atlas's environment.
"Alright, you two behave. We will be heading to my Academy for you two to get registered. So when we're setting up the IQ test for you two…just don't make a fool of yourself when you're in my school." Tanya and Ruby nodded their head as they headed to the streets of Atlas with bodyguard androids following the General for his protection. In the streets, they saw the many wealthy and prestigious citizens walk the streets with class. But Ruby notice a certain problem at the sidewalk of the streets, the poor begging to survive, people who have animal traits called Faunus being harassed by local patrons, and seeing a huge protest over a corporation called the Schnee Dust Company taking over their small business back at Mantle.
As suspected, Tanya knows there will always be poverty and inequality in every civilization. So she wasn't surprised by what she sees and Ruby felt she wanted to intervene of the injustice that's happening here.
Tanya, we need to do something with the poor here. It just…feels wrong. Tanya sighed over Ruby's naïve views. But she explains it to her in a more realistic way and the consequence of doing it alone. Even though Tanya knows of Ruby's noble intention are. They cannot simply do it all by themselves.
Ruby, even we try to help. There will always be inequality in many forms in the future. We cannot support a whole group of them by ourselves. We need people who have connections and having good intentions…but seeing poverty is pretty worse here. I don't think that will happen very soon and I have a good feeling the people who are running Atlas don't have altruistic views. Trying to rationalize the terrible reality they are in and saying the word 'altruism' with a grain of salt. Tanya can do acts of altruism, but in her own definition of it, which requires her ulterior motives to be met. In exchange for something that would greatly benefit her and everyone who is involved.
Thinking of Tanya's philosophy that everything has an ulterior motive behind it, the Devil's eyes notice a poor faunus sitting on the ground in despair. She saw antlers poking out from her head and she looks around in her early teens. Starving and wearing mucky, ragged clothing like she found them in a pile of trash.
Of what striking about her that caught Tanya's eyes is that she deeply resemble her second lieutenant of Tanya's previous life. Brown hair, blue eyes, and her facial appearance that right off the bat told the former Wing Commander that she is Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov, but Tanya knows that girl isn't Visha. Not in this world.
Tanya tried to keep her emotions in check and maintain her strict appearance. But looking at the starving faunus that looks deadly close to a young Visha just made her emotions leak a little from Tanya's heart.
Even if she's merely a human resource, Tanya might have got a little too attached to her battalion units in the past.
Tanya, do you know her? The devil bites her lip and trying not to compromise her rational stance. She looks away from her and keeps going. Even though it hurts what she saw. She doesn't have the power or any connections to help the faunus-kind at their current moment, seeing the potential of having them in the military service to do their faunus traits and learning of General Lagune's incompetent mistakes. So Tanya tries to wave it off until they have any kind of political influence to deal with this problem.
Addition, if there's any Faunus terrorism about to happen. Tanya has a psychological plan on using humans and faunuses under her command. Having a diverse background of her soldiers, the faunus rebels will be hesitant to attack their own brethren. One thing for sure, Tanya isn't going to act downright incompetent like General Lagune's laughable fail attempts on quelling a rebellion. She will take advantage of their faunus traits by demoralizing them to do some of their heightened senses that she can exploit or invoke much fear in them to attract the hordes of Grimm at their position to finish them off.
As the deer faunus that looks exactly like Visha sitting down on the sidewalk. An Atlas security drone notice of the poor faunus's loitering at the sidewalk. Giving out a synthetic menacing voice of its warning.
[Victoria Tiwaz. You are loitering in Atlas Property. Please return to your work in S.D.C or face charges.] The automated bot warned the Visha lookalike or else face arrest with its cold, metallic rifle pointing at her. The faunus who is called Victoria Tiwaz whimper in fear when it mentions the S.D.C, the monopolistic corporation that gave her people a living hell when Jacque took power. Facing hell or imprisonment, she has no choice but to work in the blizzard mines of Atlas. Knowing prison is the worse place for her kind to be in.
After she is forced to head back to work, the Devil slightly bit her tongue and wanting to curse under her lips. Quickly suppressing her emotions and looking away from the deer faunus who the robot called her Victoria Tiwaz. Not wanting her emotions eating away her soul.
Nothing Ruby, let's just go. I know it hurts but we need the influence to deal with this problem and having a well thought out plan to execute. Maintaining strict appearance and not letting her emotions clogging the Devil's decisions in the long-term. The two followed General Ironwood into his towering Academy with an influx of students going in and out.
"This here is the entrance and the courtyard of the academy. Where the students socialize and share knowledge among their peers." Passing through the courtyard, they enter the school as General Ironwood's Academy is pretty tall and high-tech. While they're inside, they saw one student who is praying. When Tanya's very own eyes spotted the said student, she starts to freak out when she recognizes her at a fair distance. She is the foil of Tanya, the mad woman who tried to kill her and the equal match to Tanya's combat prowess. The woman who is named Mary Sioux, the daughter of the Colonel who the Devil killed him in battle, just seeing her standing in the opening just made her nervous. Sweat pouring down on her face in slight terror.
Seeing this, Tanya notice a pattern here of the familiarity that she's now seeing. Twisting her lips with an egregious look and her eyes conflicted with fear or rage.
Tanya, why are you freaking out? Maintaining her pose again and bottling up her emotions of seeing the people that she knows in the past are here. Tanya immediately knows what Being X is up to and another way to mess with her mind.
Nothing again Ruby, she reminded me of someone that I don't like. Evading the question of Tanya's sociopathic-like rival from her previous life, the General greeted the Mary Sioux's doppelganger who is wearing the standard Atlas uniform.
"Oh God of light, guide my prosperous future and your holy truth for mankind to submit to you." When she said that prayer, Tanya quickly learns that Being X definitely reincarnated the people that she knows in this world and her guess is strong when the General called out her name.
"Marlene Sue, good to see you're still being a good officer student and finding a way to deal with that anger issue of yours." Calling out to her, Marlene Sue finished her prayer and nodded her head gladly at Ironwood's compliment as her brown eyes look directly at them and brushing some of her brown hair away from her face.
"Ah, General Ironwood, good to see you sir and let the light guide you! So where are you going, sir?" James just courteously smiled at her and told her where they're going.
"Going to the admission office to get some paperwork done Ms. Sue, glad to see you again and have a good day. By the way, tell your father that I say hi." With that, the three were about to leave until Marlene notice the little girl.
"Odd, I don't know why but I feel extremely angry at you? But that's probably outrageous thing for me to say, so see yeah General Ironwood." Slightly tensing of what she said. Tanya knows she will frequently be seeing her a lot and hope Sue doesn't remember her previous life or seeing her father personally. But that creeping feeling told her she is not done yet in this madness.
Walking through the crowded halls, they were about to reach to the admission office but Tanya heard a familiar mad voice in a technological fever of a disaster he is.
"Yes! Yes! YES! These submitted patents of my grand technology will not be tempered by that former imbecile Mr. Watts or any ignorant scientists of my great design that will grant mankind the ability to fly and dust bullets that could be altered by Aura! I'll show the world that I am the right one here, not those fools. I'll tell the R&D members that it is not a bust! I'll tell Director Leo Kirche that I'm not a fool-" Yelling at the top of his lungs in a maddening cry, Ironwood sighed when he notices that eccentric voice who wants to prove himself that his technology will work even though there's a lot of errors of his design, thinking hypothetically than realistically.
"Adel Von Wahnsinn. Can you please don't scream at us, I know you want to prove to the researchers you're right. But screaming here wouldn't help. Now please, can you leave?" When Tanya saw the person who is yelling. She is not too surprised to see the same old man who is trying to strap her with a malfunctioning prototype of an experimental orb. When the mad scientist saw the General, he quickly tenses up and politely apologizing to the General of his eccentric outburst.
"Sorry sir, I'm just excited about testing out an experimental orb that allows our soldiers to fly in or out of combat by using a small amount of Aura and my prototype rounds. I apologize for my outburst." Ironwood just sighs in annoyance and pitching the bridge of his nose of this doctor's ingenious yet mad mind. So he quickly dismisses him.
"That's good and all Mr. Wahnsinn, but please. Can you do it in your research facility? I need to get the military test started and to validate a special student." The mad scientist nodded quickly and left the halls of not wanting to offend the General.
After that fiasco has been dealt with, the three finally reached the admission. Looking around, Ironwood told Tanya to sit in the waiting room until he's done on authorizing Tanya to become a student of Atlas Academy, temporally though if she didn't pass.
"Alright Tanya, I'm going to directly register you as my student and submitting the documents from my Scroll for you to be allowed to study in my school. So stay here for a while when I'm done." Nodded her head, the twins sit down on their chair in the waiting room, the General left them to deal with paperwork and getting them registered for the test, so waiting around for few minutes, the twins look up to the TV out of boredom.
"Breaking news, the peaceful organization of the White Fang becomes increasingly violent as the credibility of Ghira starts to wane by his peers. A sudden increase in violence towards the Schnee Company is becoming frequent and violent riots are happening across major cities in the Four Kingdoms of Remnant."
Of what the channel is showing, it is showing the Atlas News Network. Broadcasting the once peaceful White Fang organization turning violent when the faunuses elected their new leader into power, vandalizing city property that discriminated their kind, constant terrorist attacks against the Schnee for their infamous treatment towards faunus workers, and the peaceful protest transforms into an armed militia as they beat down the humans who wrong them. Blood spilled on the floor and set ablaze on buildings with orange embers.
To Tanya, they become a perfect target practice for Atlas military to flex their military might. In Tanya's perspective, the peaceful White Fang could bear fruit for a few years or decades. It's about the test of patience in dealing with the constant racism. But seeing they lost their patience, they become the perfect scapegoat to blame the world's problems on them and all the Remnant's governments are looking at them with itchy trigger fingers, worsening the cause for the Faunus in general. If Tanya faces a faunus rebellion while in her military service, she can form up plans and easily crush the uprising as if it's like the Arene Rebellion all over again. It is the matter of when they lose their patience.
A really bloody plan...
But in Ruby's view, they are acting like the bad guys in her story. Even though Ruby sympathize their social struggle for equal treatment, of what they are doing now is just plain wrong to her eyes. Seeing the injured on the streets with their crimson wounds opening, the violent actions of seeing the purple bruises form, Ruby cannot stand of those vile acts. Seeing the injustice, Ruby will do anything to stop the bad guys from hurting others and her desire to achieve justice is getting stronger. Mentally praying to herself, she hopes the god of light is watching over her. Wanting to put them in prison oppose to Tanya wanting to kill them, believing the needless killing is morally wrong in Ruby's view. Unjustifiable killings will only fuel the hate of what her mother told her.
"Other news, an increase of banditry is happening across Mistral to Vacuo. We got reports that a tribe of bandits are becoming more organized on their raids and becoming more creative on harassing independent villages. Rumors speculate that a leader is leading the ragtag-"
Before the reporter could finish his sentence, General Ironwood interrupted their thoughts when he finished submitting their records and getting their ID ready.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting you two. But everything is set and we need to get a picture of you. So I'm going to ask you. Make your eyes in a single color so the AI can identify which is which when we take the picture." Nodded their head, the twins follow General Ironwood's direction and finding a photo booth with a green screen attached to it.
Seeing they need to take a picture, the duo walk to their chair that perfectly adjusted to their height, the cameraman starting to angle the lenses and the lighting in the room as he looks back at the duo, gesturing them to get ready.
Alright Ruby, please reside your soul away from me so I can maintain some body control. Sitting down, Tanya wanted to look professional in the picture and wanting to maintain a perfect posture. Ruby sees the reason behind it, so she agrees.
Got it, sis. Pulling away pronto for the photo shoot. When Rose pulled her huge soul away from Tanya's soul, the Devil felt relieved of not feeling overwhelmed by Ruby's brighter soul that's constantly bashing against hers.
Seeing there's no interference, Ruby's eyes become pure gold. So trying to maintain them while smiling, the cameraman readied his camera for their school ID.
"Alright, counting to three. Three, two, one, say cheese!" In a flash of light, it is over.
But when it was over, Tanya felt her soul is being squashed by a brighter soul again.
Getting off from their adjusted chair, Ironwood walks up to them of asking for their Scroll to upload their school ID into Atlas's educational system for them to access the recreational activities, doing research, or training to hone their combat skills; in short, allowing them to have student access to their needs or wants.
In the General's mind, Ironwood hopes the twins fail so they wouldn't have to be enrolled in his school at such a young age. Not wanting to discuss with Command of why they have a little kid in their ranks, considering it felt extremely unethical and would be an embarrassment in his career record.
"Alright Ruby and Tanya, please lend me your scroll so I can upload your ID in the school's recognition system on allowing you to have student access to the school system." Tanya opening her pocket, they lend their scroll to him. Heading back to the computer terminal, the General inserted a chip at the bottom socket and starting to upload all their data to become part of Atlas's educational system. In ten seconds, the upload was done. Giving their phone back, they grab their new school ID.
"Alright, the test will begin in two hours and you two will have a small tour of my school by our prestigious student, Winter Schnee." After saying her name, Winter Schnee arrives in her Atlas School Uniform. The start of her military operative training and is not yet to become General Ironwood's respected subordinate.
"General Ironwood Sir! I arrive just in time for your call to give a student a tour…um sir, permission to speak freely?" When Winter arrives and saluted to James, the white-haired Schnee who is in her early teens notice a little girl is standing next to Ironwood. Sighing, he allowed Winter to speak.
"Yes winter, you are allowed to speak." Giving the adolescent Winter the permission to speak freely, she is still looking down at Ruby or Tanya in confusion.
"Why is there an underage child on our school grounds? I thought they were not allowed to be here unless there's a special circumstance?" Asking the General of why the twins are here, Ironwood explains away to Winter that this child is under his wing until the test starts.
"This child is Tanya Rose, she is under my wing and requested by the governments of Remnant to be trained as an officer. In certain circumstances, this child will take the military IQ exam to test her aptitude in combat and her intelligence on tactics. To determine if she's worthy to study here if she passed, she becomes an official student in officer training. So while the test is being prepared, you will show her around the school campus." Winter is surprised that this child is to be going to be an Atlas student at such a young age if she actually passes the written test. She looks at the child skeptically but she obediently accepted the General's order. She wanted to object, but disobeying a military order is unacceptable in Atlas's military ethics.
"Yes sir, I will take her around school when staff officer Hans finished preparing the tests." When she mentioned Hans, Tanya is now fully aware that these people she saw or heard are definitely reincarnated individuals that Tanya known in the past. Of why the hell Being X wanted them to reincarnate in this world and specifically in the kingdom of Atlas is probably a way to mess with her. Tanya wishes this Hans wouldn't promote her to be in the battalion again and fighting behind the enemy's line.
Although, she hopes she gets a better rank position as the likes of Lieutenant General and leading a corps instead. Rehearsing her mind, Tanya is ready to say her words carefully as she wouldn't do the same mistake from her previous life when encountering Hans…or probably the chances of talking to him directly is possibly low.
"Follow me…Tanya Rose." Speaking with hesitation, Tanya followed the Schnee as they tour through the fitness center to see students working out, combat center to hone their combat prowess, the classroom halls to study and the cafeteria. They pass through the locker room for Tanya to store their thick coat of her designated locker, only to reveal her white school uniform. When they pass the cafeteria again, she reminded Ruby to behave when Tanya notice her eyes are moving on its own when she saw a huge collection of sweets.
After passing through the facilities of Atlas Academy that are specifically for students to access them, they finally reached the library area.
"This here is the library for students or staff members to study. Any more questions?" Before Tanya could raise her voice, she felt something vibrate in her pocket. Picking up her Scroll, the two hours have passed and it is time to take the test.
"I'm good, the two hours are up and I need to head back to the Exam location to take my test. So thank you, Ms. Schnee, I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Bowing her head and saying in a courteous tone. Schnee is impressed by Tanya's mannerisms. After saying goodbye, the twins left the Schnee alone and heading for their room. Tanya recited their designated classroom number where her written exam is going to be taken place.
Reaching the destination of her room, she walks inside with many potential students sitting down at their tables. Many of the training officers look at her curiously of why there's a little girl at their school. With that, Tanya heard whispers about her presence in the room and the rumors surrounding her.
"Hey Matthew Rig Heim, is that a little girl in our classroom? Like why the hell they let underage kids here?"
"Don't know Schwanz Simmons, but the headmaster of OUR school choose her. Why though, let's not offend the General by expelling us two."
Hearing a familiar voice again. She turns her head to see a reincarnate of her Vice Commander, the young Matheus Johan Weiss who now goes by Matthew Rig Heim. Besides him is a strange nerdy looking kid with his maroon eyes staring at her.
"Ahem, I am Hansen von Seeckt or Hans for short, the Lieutenant General of this school. Please take a seat, everyone." Turning her eyes to see the reincarnate of the General who first saw Tanya's potential and taking in her knowledge on the battlefield. He's the one who authorizes Tanya's battalion to exist and the general to hear her strategies willingly. To see the same old general is quite surprising to the Devil of why Being X reincarnated him?
In doing so of what Hansen said, Tanya and all the potential officers took their seats with thick sheets of paper on their desks.
Oh man, that's one big test paper. Are you sure you can handle this Tanya?
Ruby please, I'm always ready for exams. There's a reason why I always keep researching and studying my textbooks before we shipped off to Atlas, not wanting to miss a mark. So far, I believe this is the aptitude test that General Ironwood told me about. Telling Ruby that she is ready for this test, Hansen starting to give his introduction to the students and telling them to begin.
"You are here to become officers to see your qualities of becoming a leader. The sheets of paper that are on your desk is your aptitude test. Those who pass will be honored to be in our inner-circle of Command. So further ado, you will start now." With that, all of the potential officers open their sheets and starting to write their answers to see how thoroughly and studious they are. In response. Tanya picks up her pencil and saw the answers right off the bat along overjoyed of how easy this is.
Ha! This is like kindergarten questions to me. Probably the fact their tactics and strategy is to solely defeat the Grimm and using outdated knowledge base off from the Great War. They stagnate to develop complex strategies as they overly rely on Huntsmen or brute force to deal with the threat and disinterested to develop one to do the so-called era of Pax making them lazy. This will be right off the bag for me. Writing down her answers, this is going to be the quickest test that Tanya has ever taken.
Wow...that's really wordy of you and kind of mean of what you said. I'm not arguing with you, just stating a fact. Tanya rolled her eyes of Ruby's general kindness and straightforwardness towards everything. Ignoring her and not wanting to argue about their differentiating philosophies. Tanya continues to write down her answers with the most creative military strategies and revolutionary tactics that Tanya had come up with. Like how to stop a rebellion, she can make them feel miserable like cutting off their supplies or continuing to shell them for days to no end. The side effect if they're in low morale, it will attract the Grimm at their position in endless hordes. If the rebellion still persists, she will make them yield by doing unconventional terror tactics. But again, there's Ruby in her equation and highly likely she will interfere.
Answering the questions with great efficiency, she is going to give General Ironwood a humungous headache as the twins are going to be part of Ironwood's chain of command pretty soon.
Tanya couldn't help but smile as this is going to be the best day ever for her...for now at least.
To tylermech66. Tanya isn't the only one who is influencing Ruby. Ruby's parents are still present and giving their ideas. For the show itself. To be fair, I tolerate the animation since the show first started with a low budget. But I kind of question the story and choreography at Volume 5.
Fanatic Watcher. Even if Tanya is the Ubermensch and the epitome of rational thinking that she doesn't need to rely on divinity. She is still human and there's no way she can stop Being X's constant intervention. Making Tanya realize that she has her own limits.
For the next chapter, the results and training day.
