Sorry for the wait guys but college is time-consuming. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and Persona is owned by Atlus. I did make Weiss bitchy but to be fair, she kinda was in this part during canon. I just want to say that she is my favorite character out of the main cast so in case people think i hate her, I don't.

And as for Sun stealing Minato's wallet, the guy struck me as someone who stole a fair bit before meeting the cast. though he was lucky he didn't steal his Evoker cuz Minato would have tracked him down and beat his ass harder than Frieza beat Vegeta in Namek.

"Damn sucks to be you man." Yang said after getting over the initial shock. "Maybe you left it at the dorm?" She doubted it considering the male's personality and diligence but she tried to stay positive and hopeful.

"That's impossible. I remember putting it in my pocket after my Scroll." Minato sighed. "Good thing that there's nothing of importance in it." His headache somehow got worse. He needed a decent rest, there's no way around it. Yawn B Gones barely do anything to him now, he drank them to many times consecutively and now he built an immunity towards that lifesaving drink. He'll need to make a stronger modified recipe soon seeing he doesn't have the most healthy of sleeping habits. Once he starts a project, he feels inclined to finish it as soon as possible. Especially if he considered it important like the Dust Recrystallizer or his new weaponry.

"Let's go catch that guy then," Ruby offered deploying Crescent Rose. "He can't be that far away. I'll reach him in no time. She got into a crouch about to activate her Speed Semblance and catch the guy who had wronged her friend.

Weiss and Yang nodded in agreement before Minato cut them off. "There's no need, like I said. There's nothing of importance in it besides 100000 Lien." That was a half-lie, he cared for the fact that he lost that much amount of money but Minato didn't consider the amount of money to be worth the day Team RWBY could have spent here. There are at times where the experience and being around people more valuable than material objects.

"And you're fine with that?" Weiss growled. "Regardless of the amount, it's a matter of principle. After one successful thievery, those filthy flea ridden animals will only get bolder and bolder. The Schnee Dust company tried it peacefully but those terrorists will never be satisfied." Blake hissed in response but no one besides the blue haired Fool had caught it.

"100000 Lien!" Yang shouted accidentally and widened her eyes in shock to the point that they resembled dinner plates in size. "T-that's a month's rent. And both of you acting like that's chump change!" Her father Tai Yang Xiao Long barely makes triple that a month and the 2 are treating that type of money like pennies off the ground. Then again, Weiss is from Atlas and a Schnee on top of that.

Having read Minato's file, Yang remembered that he was from Atlas too and came from old money as well. Seriously, was the mentality between them and her that vast?

"All the Dust I can buy," Ruby mumbled lost in her own thought.

"…That's what you zero in on?" Minato question rubbing his temple. "Think I'm heading back to the dorms and call it a day. I don't wish to ruin my sleeping schedule to bad so wake me up in 3 hours."

He pulled out his Evoker and pressed it against the side of his head he paused momentarily feeling the cool metal on his temple and sighed out of relief. The coolness of the metal was doing wonders for his headache despite it rapidly conforming to his own body temperature. He was moments away from pulling the trigger to use the Traesto spell before a shrill blood curdling sound halted his index finger.

"Oh my God!" A horrified feminine voice screamed in horror.

"That Blue haired kid's gonna fuckin shoot himself!" Another woman shouted.

"Don't do it man!"

"Life's worth living!"

"Hey, make sure to record his brain exploding!"

"Dude… this is gonna be awesome."

"Just do it already you emo fuck."

"Kill yourself."

Minato had forgotten that there were others on the docks or rather he thought that with Team RWBY surrounding him, gave him enough cover to use the Evoker. Apparently, he was wrong. He looked at Team RWBY's varying expressions and made his decision. All 4 of them either gave him an irritated expression (Weiss and Blake), a nervous one due to the sudden attention of others (Ruby) or an embarrassed tired one (Yang). Deciding the best course of action, Minato Arisato pulled the trigger which made his whole-body flash blue and crystalline glass like shards formed from the other side of his head. Before he teleported away fully, the last thing he heard was the horrified shouts of the pedestrians that thought he killed himself.

Immediately Minato manifested back in his own over sized personal dorm and started to toss his clothes off to the side despite being outside for at best an hour. He felt a tiny bit bad for leaving Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake to deal with the aftermath but his head was hurting a bit.

If he was alert, then maybe he could have moved out of the blonde monkey Faunus' path but his luck wouldn't have allowed that. Clad in only his boxers, Minato climbed back into his bed and pulled the blankets over him. And within a few seconds, he was in Hypnos' clutches.

Waking up and feeling significantly better, Minato yawned and stretched like a cat. That was actually one of his better rests in a long while, no flashback about his Counterpart's past nor his final battle against Nyx and her Harbinger on constant loop. Perhaps this was in actuality a blessing in disguise.

Glancing out the window, Minato saw the sun setting painting the sky and horizon red and orange. Damn, he overslept by a few hours, there's no way he's going to get any sleep tonight unless he asks someone like Yang or Nora to knock him out by hitting him square on the jaw.

It's probably going to hurt but if he equips Trismegistus or any other Regenerate based Persona before the hit then he could be totally fine by the next day. The damage would be dealt with when he was unconscious. Reaching into his dimensional pocket within the sea of his soul, Minato pulled out some of these plastic cards like objects, the currency of this world, Lien. Ever since he became a Wildcard, money was really no longer a problem seeing there were multiple cases where he found a stack of Lien just on the floor for anyone to take. It was a fairly common occurrence too, happening at least twice a week, add in his ad revenue for Remtube, and his old odd jobs he done for multiple shops, individual and even participating in Grimm purging and others. Needless to say, Minato was rather well off for 19 teen year old that didn't grew up with money.

That wasn't necessarily true seeing that his family back in his old world was well off and wealthy, not Kirijo wealthy but more than middle class. And judging from his Counterpart's memories, his mother was well off to but that's to be expected from a distant branch family related to the Schnee. Most families back in Atlus are of higher class compared to the other 3 kingdoms besides the upper echelon of Mistral.

Going inside of the bathroom, Minato brushed his teeth quickly before heading out. No one wanted to smell nap breath after all. His stomach growled, he realized that he didn't eat all day and it was too late for him to start cooking, especially the amounts that he ate.

As soon as he left the door, he reached into his internal pocket due to a surge of heat and energy erupted from his swords. Making sure no one was looking, he pulled the 2 swords out. The Opposing star aka Armageddon sword and his new Laevateinn named Blazing Ragnarok. He named it after his 2 strongest fire spells and it turned out pretty alright sounding, though it does sound like something Yang would come up with.

The Fool stared into the blades as they erupted into red and purplish flames respectively. "Hmmm, I assumed the Personas used in weapon fusion lost their sentience but that's not completely right, is it?"

Blazing Ragnarok's hilt started rotating causing a votex that mixed with the flames and created a gigantic whirling fire storm in an instant. Minato's mouth went dry from its casual display of power and he had yet to empower it with his SP. He was honestly amazed as electricity was produced from the vortex's friction. The Armageddon sword not to be outdone, produced its own lightning too before he told them to calm down reverting to their inactive states.

The tiny engine on the prongs spat out a bit of blue fire before completely disappearing and the glowing blue color on the Blazing Ragnarok dimmed down to abysmal levels. He couldn't sense the Personas used in the blades but he could sense some sort of collective consciousness inside instead. For the nihil weapons, he fused Personas in the past, they simply disappeared and that was that. This time however… when he fused 2 or more Personas into the blade, they managed to retain some sort of sentience despite the fact that they should have disappeared the moment he dismissed them from his psyche.

Does this have anything to do with his Counterpart's influence on his powers? There was no denying that his Persona based abilities have grown stronger due to the merger and it was heartening to know that his Personas are not truly dying once he uses them in his weapon fusions. "Tired of fighting weak opponents? I'm sure that one day in the near future… you'll get your satisfaction soon."

He attempted to place the blades into his pocket dimension but for some reason… they refused to be placed back into that space. The blue haired Fool was genuinely confused, those swords never had an issue before.

"They wish for a proper sheathe."

Huh? A sentient entity living consciousness wanted something as quaint as a sheathe? He found it almost ridiculous. He'll simply have to deal with it later, he was absolutely starving. Not eating for an entire day does that to a person.

He was in the mood for some ramen or eating at a steak house. Maybe he could find a place that sold both but he found that stores that specialized have better quality food. This was honestly a difficult choice, should he stick to one higher quality restaurant completely missing out on the the other option or go to a general restaurant and have a decent compromise on both?

"Medium rare steak or beef slice ramen… hmmm," Minato contemplated further before a sudden very feminine shout jolted him out of his rather… tasty thoughts. "Well maybe we're just tired of being pushed around!"

A door slam was heard a few seconds later before Blake ran out of her dorm and crashed into him… hard. He was beginning to see a pattern here, a rather painful pattern that he wanted nothing to do with. Fist he was caught off guard because he was extremely tired… now he was tasting dirt because he was too hungry and deprived of energy.

"Not that I hate the feeling of your body or anything but, can you get off me?" Minato grunted lacking even the strength to even push Blake off. She obliged and ran faster than he ever seen her do before, it rivaled Ruby even when she used her prided Speed Semblance.

Something seemed off about her, unlike Junpei he wasn't dense as a brick when it came to women. But anyone would've caught that chaotic emotion coming off of the cat girl. She was… distraught about something and he had a pretty good idea on what it was. She was pretty vocal of her defense of the terrorist organization after all… a bit too much for a civilian and factor in Weiss' disdain of the White Fang and perhaps Faunus in general, it doesn't take a genius to piece 2 and 2 together.

Normally speaking, if he saw one of his treasured friends running like that then he'll chase after them no questions asked but this time…

He remembered their last conversation, the reason she was unable to open up to him at the time was because he was unable to open up to her. He as of right now is not qualified to help her but just because he isn't able to help Blake doesn't necessarily mean that he can't be of use to someone else. He sighed as he picked himself up off the hard ground and reached into his soul and pulled out a granola bar and headed to the Dorm that the Faunus came from.

"It doesn't look like I'll be eating a full meal anytime soon." Minato thought as he walked up to the all-female dorm and twisted the doorknob revealing the occupants.

"Am I interrupting something here?" Minato asked. "Please excuse me for invading your personal space."

"Oh… Minato," Ruby muttered. "Don't worry about it." She seemed sad and dejected but he could guess why.

"Kinda poor timing Blue," Yang sighed. "…Listen, Blake…"

"Ran out I know," Minato admitted. If anyone was shocked then they certainly didn't show it. "Knocked me down too like that guy on the docks but that's beside the point, I'm assuming that you all know that she's a Faunus then?"

"…What?" Weiss said getting shocked out of her glare that seemed to be her default angry face. Minato guessed Weiss was not taking Blake's departure all too well or at least what the cat girl said before her departure.

Not only her but Ruby and Yang also seemed stunned into silence, and it was strange seeing the blonde buxom woman quiet. He much preferred the loud bright and sunny one that may or may not have a short temper.

"How do you know that?" Ruby asked actually narrowing her eyes at him. Unfortunately for her, Minato didn't find the glare one-bit intimidating. In fact, he found it hilariously cute in a puppy kind of way.

"Persona." He stated. It was the truth but their glaring faces at least Ruby and Weiss is kind of amusing to him. Perhaps he should explain in more detail to avoid looking like he was joking around.

"I have Personas that sensed that Blake's nature and I pieced 2 and 2 together." Minato explained in greater detail.

Yang looked confused. "…She's a Faunus?"

"Cat ears." Minato nodded.

"Bro, are you high? Blake doesn't have cat ear all she has is a… bow," Yang slowed down a bit with the thought in her mind. "…Oh." She eventually realized and didn't know how else to continue.

"She does like tuna a lot." Ruby whispered as if Blake could appear at any moment to yell at her at any moment.

"She even ate Scrodinger's food." Minato added. But he didn't hold it against the girl, simply because she was under the influence of catnip or his Yawn B Gone… or both.

"Isn't that you cat?" The red hooded reaper asked.

"Yes," Minato eventually replied much to Ruby's and Weiss' disgust.

"To be fair, it looked and smelled tasty and bomb As F." Yang said in defense of her not present team member.

"Who cares about that," Weiss spat out. "She's a terrorist enough said."

Minato frowned at the heiress' cold attitude. "…She's also your teammate."

"Are you sure about that?"

"…"

"…"

He noticed the brief flashes of doubt on the 2-sibling's face and answered honestly for once from his heart. "Yes, she is."

Weiss looked at him as if he grew 2 heads but he continued regardless.

"Perhaps, she did hide who she was and perhaps she isn't as close as she should be, but you all formed a bond regardless of those boundaries. I once ran from those bonds that made me who I am because of my failures and I feel Blake is no different right now. How can you expected her to trust you when you… when we give nothing in return?"

"…But," Weiss started but Ruby cur her off. "No he's right. Blake is our friend and our teammate and nothing will change that, nothing." She looked up with a gaze filled with steel and fire. "We'll bring her back."

*Crack*

I am Thou, Thou art I

Thou shalt have our blessing when Thou choosest to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana

The Silver Eyed Warrior Social Link have reached Stage 5

Your power to create Personas of the Lovers Arcana has grown

"That's my Rubes, alright." Yang smiled softly showing a lot of silent pride in her lilac eyes.

"Do you wish for my help to find her?"

"Nah Blue this is a Team RWBY exclusive deal." Yang even made the shooing gesture like he was some kind of dog. He shrugged, brushing it off. Minato pulled his Evoker and pulled the trigger and manifesting in the alley of his favorite ramen shop. He made his decision after all.

"I hate it when he does that." Yang muttered after the shattering glass sound and blue light died down.

"You did shoo him away sis," Ruby defended. She personally found it really cool, a shame that she doesn't have one of those fancy schmancy Personas like Minato did. Then she'll really be unstoppable.

Minato was refreshed after eating and using a sleeping spell on himself so he could have a decent night's sleep. It worked but it was somewhat annoying to use Dormina ever hour or so but it is what it is. After doing his usual morning routine, Minato was about to change into his standard clothing but he was getting a wardrobe change. He had been wearing the same clothes for a while now and honestly, he needed something fresher.

They were designs that fitted him undoubtedly but the black Thanatos based coat was not something he wished to wear as the warmer seasons were starting to creep closer and closer. Nor was the white and gold coat that he bought in honor of his friend Yu Narukami… which he made the decision to call him by his last name from now on. The English you and Yu sounded identical and he really didn't want to cause a misunderstanding like last time with Yang.

His white mid calve boots were replaced by his standard engineer double strapped boots but the straps were replaced with red laces and the shoes were painted with strange and colorful splotches. He kept the black dress pants seeing how compatible it was with everything. His gray shirt was replaced by his summer short sleeve shirt which was pre-dominantly white but had a black collar and blue short sleeves.

Over that was a simple black blazer with the insides were lined with gray. The only noticeable design was the golden lyre on his left breast with a sword that resembled Thanatos' straight blade as a violin stick. Minato looked himself over the mirror and analyzed his reflection almost critically. It was decent but it lacked the flair as his previous dual black and red strap coat and white lined with gold coat had.

He frowned thinking upon how to make it grander, first he took his tattered red scarf off his neck and tied it onto his arm like an arm band he wore as a part of SEES and the student council disciplinary committee. Then Minato took a radiant yellow scarfed lined with black and wrapped it around his neck, careful to not mess up his headphones… which proved impossible.

The wires in some shape and form got in the way of the scarf causing said wires to press against his neck. It seemed that he had to leave his clip-on headphones after all these years. It was a shame seeing how much time he spent on those headphones. Even if he valued Fuuka's headphone a tiny bit more, the years he and the headphone spent together was treasured. Storing the headphones into his dimensional pocket so that he may keep it for as long as time itself, Minato brought out the most recent pair of headphones produced by Atlas, he finally decided to use it due to its wireless capabilities. Those advanced headphones were a dull grayed color but glowed blue matching his hair color scheme.

Lastly, he rolled up his blazer sleeves just below his elbows to show off the gray lining and improved the outfit over all. It somehow just looked better than him just letting the sleeves be natural. Minato didn't want to admit it but Yukari's fashion lessons did in fact became handy over the 2 and a half years he been on Remnant. It helped him prepare for interview and look presentable as well as giving him a unique flare that others didn't making him more memorable than the others.

Looking around the school grounds, he couldn't see Team RWBY or Team JNPR. Blake ran out so he shouldn't have expected her to be here now that he thought about it. Most likely, none of Team RWBY if Ruby drags them to look for Blake… well dragging Weiss along. Yang would follow Ruby without a second thought and Blake was her partner during the initiation.

The Fool soon realized that besides those 2 teams and potentially Velvet, he had no friends in the school. That seemed a bit strange seeing how large the school was and he potentially only has 9 friends here. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but Minato couldn't help but notice how niche and diverse at the same time his social life was.

That was fine, the Fool was planning on exercising in the gym in down town Vale, the same gym Jaune goes to due to him giving Jaune the recommendation of going that specific one. That gym wasn't any better or worse than any other gym in the area but it was a bit cheaper and he was on fairly good terms with the owners having a conversation every so often.

Despite his head having a few problems with the treadmill (his head hit the floor far too many times), the gym was a really good place to work out and Minato noticed if he worked out hard enough, his Persona abilities increase as well.

The Wildcard supposed that it wasn't really the exercise that brought the increase but it was more along the lines of the fulfillment of the soul and one's increased will against adversity that brought out the increase. Exercising simply brought those qualities out in a controlled stimulated setting.

Making sure that no one was looking this time, the vessel of Death pulled out his Evoker and pressed the silver gun-shaped object on his temple. "Traesto," He intoned before pressing the trigger and manifested himself in the alley of the Protein Persuasion Gym. That spell was truly a convenient skill, if he decided to walk that distance from Beacon, he would have spent around 40 minutes to get there. Back when he was less skilled with his abilities, the Fool was limited to Tartarus and couldn't have used it outside the tower of despair not even in the rest of the Dark Hour but needless to say but he was much more powerful from the early days he spent traversing Thebel with Yukari and Junpei.

Walking out of the alley and into the front door, Minato paid his fee and walked around to where the treadmill and other cardio based equipment. He couldn't help but smile lightly as memories of his days coming here after his training classes to be a police officer flash through his mind. He was the always the one that had the most improvement and in the fastest amount of time due to him abusing his or rather Junpei's Persona abilities which he in turn got from Chidori. It was almost like a memento in a way, except more spiritual than physical. All of the Personas he got from SEES can be considered an inherited will that will help him go through adversity of his current life.

The humans of this world Remnant naturally have a higher growth rate than Earth based humans if they had activated Aura. Aura was a double-edged sword, that's the biggest reason why the majority of people don't activate their Aura because the moment they do, it's almost as if Aura manifests a bit of one's emotion along with their heart and soul. That means all emotions that radiates from one's core is magnified… including the darker negative emotion that the creatures of Grimm are attracted to.

Roughly only 5 percent of Remnant's low population ever activates their Aura. The only people who would activate their Aura besides Huntsman and law enforcement officers are those who accidentally activate it against the stray Grimm or muggers, martial artists, or the paranoid that can't trust anyone and takes protection of themselves to their own hands.

Without Aura, the growth rate of both versions of humanity are roughly the same at least from what he's seen. The reason Aura increases growth rate is due to the slight regeneration from wounds and fatigue that ability offers as long as the user doesn't exhaust their supply. But with his Persona abilities into consideration, Minato could be an unstoppable tank if he wanted to.

To use video game terminology that Junpei loves so much, the passive skill Regenerate 1, 2, 3 and Invigorate 1, 2, 3, Spring of Life and Aura all can stack with each other. Aura was a rather… interesting energy source, it held characteristics to HP that empowers a Personas physical moves and allows a living entity to function. That similar characteristic is portrayed by the defensive barrier that surrounds the user but it's also similar SP or Spiritual Power that Persona Users used for spells, and is portrayed by how Aura transitions to fuel for one's Semblance.

Because of this duality so to speak, Aura can be refilled by Regeneration and Invigorate. Unlike the rest of the standard Aura and Semblance Users, Minato will never have to worry if his Aura is being depleted should he use this strategy. Even if he takes too much damage, Minato could get back up in optimum condition within a few minutes.

But truth be told, that power to constantly resuscitate endlessly comes with a price. If he chose to become a juggernaut completely through those skills, his versatility and ability to support others drastically lowers. Personas are limited in what skills they hold or else, he would have simply used one be all end all Persona by now. And to be honest, more often than not, Spring of Life provides more than enough Aura regeneration unless he was surrounded but even then, he had his Personas.

But still, it was something that he had tested out when he first unlocked Aura. It was only natural to incorporate a new power into his arsenal, even now after 2 years, he still has yet to discover how those 2 powers interacted to each other fully. Sure, he managed to use some innate Persona skills and attributes to make abilities that resemble Yang's and Nora's Semblances but the diversity of Semblances surprised him.

A shame that its only one Semblance per soul, even he isn't an exception to that rule seeing he's 2 souls and the remaining vestiges of Death combined. If only there was a 'Wildcard' for Semblances, Minato would be interested in how an individual would grow with that possibility.

Turning on the treadmill and configuring it to its highest setting, Minato began running. It had been awhile since he did stamina based training due to his already high endurance and his exposure to the Dark Hour. That forbidden time really saps the energy and life force out of an individual but nowadays he's more or less immune to it after 10 plus years living and breathing in it. Or rather, it was the remaining fragment of Death fusing into his essence and the birth of the Thanatos Persona that made him immune, he was in a vein similar to Nyx's harbinger since they were one and the same for the majority of their living existences.

Clicking on his headphones which was wirelessly connected to his Scroll, Minato began shifting through the songs contained within the device one by one. He needed a good soundtrack to motivate him to go even further beyond what he normally can, there was a reason why Orpheus was his initial Persona after all… besides the mythological being mirroring him in a way. Though it was the loss of his family as opposed to a lover.

The Battle for Everyone's soul was his jam. Falling into a rhythmic pattern, Minato skillfully ran on the machine for hours without stop due to his regeneration. Sure, he said that using all those regenerating skills in conjunction with Spring of Life and Invigorate may be am utter waste in battle but he wasn't on a battle field right now so he's abusing the perks of such an ability as much as he could. If he kept this up, he could close the gap in physical strength between him and Nora and Yang relatively soon. Probably in a few months to half a year if he kept this pace up.

Whether Elizabeth intended it or not, Minato's new body surpassed humanity of both worlds. He simply needed to bring out that potential and it seemed like all things worth anything in life, that power must be earned. It was hard to even think about, in his previous life back with SEES, he was hardly the most athletic. He was fit yes but he didn't excel in most physical strength, Shinjiro, Akihiko, Mamoru, and etc surpassed him in strength.

This was the first time he ever thought about being abnormally powerful as he usually preferred to blast the enemies with spells and supported his allies with buffs and healing. it was only when he was fighting solo does his fighting style changes to a more aggressive style and even then, it was more speed and precision based as opposed to power. Lost in thought, Minato almost tripped and flung himself of the treadmill. The blue haired Persona User instinctively grabbed the railing and stabilized himself despite this being the first time in months that he used the treadmill.

Getting tired of listening to the Battle for Everyone's soul, Minato tapped the headphones twice and changed the track to his absolute timeless favorite, Burn my Dread by Lotus Juice. After getting a decent workout, Minato grew tired and decided to go on a rather late lunch break.

He usually ate at noon but it was already 2:00 pm. He was still in his new clothes since he didn't bother changing, he doesn't sweat so it doesn't really made much of a difference if he changed into a gym uniform or his blue track suit. He had a feeling that Yang is secretly envious of his non-sweating characteristic. He found that odd, out of all the things he was and had, him not being able to sweat is what she's envious of.

Not his 3 Semblances, not his high amount of Aura, not his multiple Personas, not his money, but something as insignificant as sweat passing through one's armpit. He supposed that it was her unique personality that made her fun to be around, even if he couldn't understand it at times.

Walking out the door, he almost ran into Jaune as he was drinking a protein shake. Fortunately, Jaune managed to not spill the peachy colored drink much and re-balanced himself stopping him from colliding with the blue haired teen.

"Oh, hey Jaune. Didn't see you there."

"Eh, not that big deal but I'm surprised that I bumped into you here."

"You didn't think I'll use the gym that I recommended to you?" Minato raised an eyebrow. "Or you think that I'm satisfied with my current physical abilities?"

"Well, I meant that I didn't expect you to be here while I'm going soo…" Jaune said awkwardly before sighing. "Look I was just trying to make small talk and didn't know how to continue."

"I was told that I was hard to talk to at times." Minato said. "How are you holding up? You are training using the majority of your free time after all."

The blonde shrugged. "It is tiring but I can't regenerate or whatever you call it like you, so the hard way or the high way."

"Well, keep this up. I'll say in a month, you'll be at Cardin's level."

"That's what Pyrrha said as well but I don't feel like I'm improving." Jaune admitted.

"It's hard to see one's own light but know that I see you becoming greater than whatever you imagine yourself." The Wildcard honestly stated.

"I don't want to take up more of your time, so I'll be going now." He also wanted to fight some Shadows today and check up on Team RWBY's progress with their stray cat. Both are of important value, granted he's more invested in Nox's promise to him during the Forever Fall trip but Blake was a friend that he could relate to somewhat.

In a sense, they were both trying to be what they're not. He was still living his life as if he was a human when those days were long and gone and she is pretending to be another person to have a fresh start. Her ribbon in a sense is her mask that covers Blake Belladonna the Faunus even though that contradicts the core of her being. He had made a promise to himself that he'll be her Ryoji if need be, people like her, people like him need someone else to pry them open. The mental barriers that they formed around themselves won't shed away naturally simply due to how they lived their lives up to this point.

"Hey Minato," The leader of Team JNPR called out as he walked past him and a good distance away.

"Hmm?"

"I know we don't talk much but you wanna hang out sometime?" Jaune scratched his head awkwardly trying to think on what to say next. "I mean besides Ren, You're the only guy I can talk to."

Minato chuckled. "Just as long as you don't go around trying to pick up girls and we're good Jaune."

"…"

"Jaune?"

"…"

"Oh… what was I expecting from another Magician of all things after all."
