"Ha!" Weiss lets out a shout as she pierces a Creep Grimm and then proceeds to slice the another Creep's head off its body. The dead Grimms disappears and she waits for the next one to attack. Although none came at her. She just killed the last Grimm in the room and lets out a sigh.
"Good job!" Q claps his hands and walks into the white room.
"Again!" Weiss yells at Q which causes him to jump in surprise by her tone.
"But you have been at it for-"
"One more time!" Weiss tells Q but he sighs and ignores her commands.
"No. You should go home already. It's past ten."
"Uncle Q. I'll go until I finish one more round," Weiss says with a calmer tone.
"No Pumpkin. Your old man is worried about you." Weiss lets out a scoff and crosses her arms. "Are you still mad at him?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"It's been two weeks!" Q exclaims and Weiss stares him down and says.
"Two weeks or two years I'll always be mad at him."
"Let it go!" Q says acting like a twelve-year-old. However, Weiss puffs her cheeks and then holds her breath. Q lets out a sigh and then clap his hands. "Alright, one last time," Q says and then walks away. Weiss turns around when a shadow looms over her. After seeing a giant robotic arm about to crush her, she jumps away.
Yang punches the air one more than with enough force to cause the air to create a ripping sound. Ash sits on the porch of her house with his right arm in a cast. He wasn't wearing his fedora as he watches Yang. She wipes the sweat from her forehead with the robotic arm of hers.
It's been a few months since she received the robotic arm from Atlas. Vale still hasn't recovered from losing Beacon but a temporary base has been set up.
"That's enough Yang." Ash gets up and walks over to the girl. They were almost the same height with Ash being a little taller even when Yang has her hair in a high ponytail.
"What is it?" Yang asks the man.
"I think it's time. We're going to take the cast off and practice moving your fingers." Ash says and Yang looks troubled. The man notices her expression and finds a way to make her less scared. "You'll be fine. Your arm has moved enough now so there won't be a problem."
Yang takes a deep breath and releases the locks on her robotic arm. Once the object was removed her arm went limp. "I'm sorry Ash. I can't do this." Yang says and she starts to put on the foreign object. Ash grabs the hand of the robotic arm and takes it out of her hand.
"Yang, be strong." Ash stares into those iliac eyes of Yang with deep passion. "Lift your arm." He says keeping the robotic enhancement closest to him so Yang wouldn't want to use that for the rest of her life.
Yang slowly bends her elbow and bring her forearm up with a rickety motion. With her arm at a ninety-degree angle, she starts to move her fingers, but her entire arm was shaking very hard. Making a fist by herself was extremely hard, soon her arm wouldn't bend anymore and just continue to shake.
Yang stops and lets her arm stayed in the bent position. Ash puts on the cast and smiles at her. "You'll get there eventually." He says and secures the mechanical arm then lets it go. Yang flexes her fingers and turns her wrist with ease.
"So how's your arm?" Yang asks the man.
"Doing better than yours." He jokes causing Yang to punch his cast. "Ow!" Ash holds his arm, trying to ease the pain in his bones.
"So want to tell me about yourself?" Yang asks, being a little curious about the man's background.
"Well. I am Ash Krylight age twenty-four. I'm a freelance Hunter taking whatever job I can. I travel to everywhere and I use to be your dad's student." The ashen hair man answers Yang.
"That's it? You're not going to tell me anything that'll be interesting?" Yang asks.
"I fought an Ursa and destroy my arm in the process," Ash says, lifting his broken arm up causing Yang to punch him in the abdomen. "Well, I also do a little rehabilitating help." Yang was about to punch the man again but he stops her. "Woah, Woah, Woah! How about you tell me about yourself, then we'll see if I talk?"
Yang puts her arm down and sighs. "Well, I go to Beacon Academy. Or use to." Yang says and walks to her porch and stops on the steps. "I fought in the battle of Beacon. With my friends. Most of them are dead." Yang says and uses her robotic arm to crush a pillar supporting the roof. "I'm also responsible for one of my friend's death."
This information shock Ash. He wants to know more yet he doesn't want to move into her personal space. However, Yang decides to continue and admit her sin. "He was an amazing guy. Funny and strong. I can always count on him in a fight. But because of my selfish actions... I got him killed." Yang says as she continues to walk up the steps of her porch slowly.
"I wanted to believe he was still alive. But it's been months now and no sign of him." Yang says as she opens the door to her house and sits down on her couch. Ash follows her shortly and closes the door.
"I don't think it was your fault," Ash says making Yang growl.
"Haven't you heard anything I just said?"
"I did. But you couldn't prevent his death. If you could then he would still be standing today." Ash says, but Yang didn't like his choice of words. "I saw a lot of people die in my days. Each time I think about them, I can't help but feel thankful. Because of them, I can still be here-" Ash stops talking when Yang suddenly gets up and walks up the stairs with a furious motion.
The front door opens and Taiyang comes in. "Ash!? How was today?" Taiyang asks as he closes the front door. Ash gets up and grabs his fedora.
"I believe it went well," Ash says after putting on his hat.
I bow down to show respect for my opponent. Another student here at the school of Grimm. That man was older than me and been here longer than me. It's been six months since I came here and I have started learning the secret Grimm arts. Which is mind-blowing because in a mere six month I was able to control my Aura and use it to my advantage.
Well, it's better for you to watch than reading... OH WAIT! YOU CAN'T! BECAUSE THIS IS A SHITTY FANFICTION!
Now I'm dealing with a professional from the advanced class. Well, that doesn't matter because I'm in the super special awesome class. The class made just for me and ATX-0068.
I got into the basic tiger/lion stance for the Leo Grimm. I basically had my right hand close to my chest in a closed fist and my left hand extended and held out. Now I'm a lefty, so it should be the opposite for the right handed person.
My adversary got into the Ursa stance or the bear stance. With both hands closed and rose into the air like a standing bear ready to strike down. The gong sounds signaling the start of our match. With his Ursa stance, I need to move to him or else he won't come to me.
I kick the ground, propelling me forward. Now I'm closer to him with one kick. My senior moves aside and I quickly recover I place my right foot on the ground to stop myself from propelling forward. I use my right elbow to hit him, but he catches it.
Throwing my elbow aside, I use the momentum from that to do a kick. He dodges and counters with a grab at my kidney. His hands feel like a bear gripping me and ripping a part of me.
I grip his wrist trying to crush it. However, he doesn't mind the pain I'm giving him. Using his free hand he slaps me and it hurts a lot. After regaining from the stun I kick his kneecap, causing him to let me go. After he let me go I punch him in the face, making him back away from me.
"Snake Snap." I whipped my hands out using the back of my hand and hit his chest. The move knocks the air out of his body. "THIS IS SPARTA! ALSO KNOWN AS! Gorilla Impact!" It's just like what I said in the beginning. A front kick to deliver to his stomach on Amazon prime shipping.
After recovering from my attack, he lands a couple of jabs at me. The move he just used was called 'Bunny Combat'. What? Why do the attacks have weird names? Are you telling me you don't like the name I gave them!? HOW DARE YOU! I spent six months studying each move from each master and giving them appropriate names because I think they make me look cool!
I catch his leg before it can hurt me then I twist it, causing him to raise his other leg to kick my chin. I let him go and quickly recover from his attack. He uses another move called 'Mustang Blow' that shortens the distance between us and delivers a high knee kick with the momentum he built up.
I spit out some blood and got on all four to continue coughing. However, I quickly dismiss the pain and get up before he can chop my head like a watermelon. I did a few backflips like the girls and got to a safe distance.
He charges at me and delivers a flying kick. I punch his feet, causing him to do a somersault in the air. However, he was a little too slow so I went in and delivered a knee to his ribs.
"Clashing Waves!" I shout and I put my hands together then smash his head. My adversary face slams to the concrete ground, possibly breaking a nose. I jump backward as per the rules say when I deliver a bone breaking slowly gets up and shakes his head.
After recovering from my fatal attack my senior looks at me angrily. I gave him the 'come at me' finger. Without hesitation, my foe swiftly accepts the invitation. With his fist blazing and scorching with fire. I cover my hand with water and I grab his fist. Our hands sizzle and release steam. My water evaporates as his fire snuffs out.
With my leg, I cover it with the power of the wind Dust and kicked him. Sending the poor guy backward being blown away by the wind. Before I gave him a chance to land I stomp my foot and summon the power of the earth Dust. With a delay, the earth Dust reaches under my senior and I use my Aura to activate the Dust.
A lump of rock rises from underneath him. Sending him into the air once again and I create a ramp from the leftover earth Dust. "Art of Grimm. Secret number forty-three." I said as I run up the ramp I made.
Stopping just at the tip of the ramp I spread my legs wide open. I point my left leg forward and the other foot behind me. I then put my right hand out with an open palm. Then I wind up my left fist for an attack The sparks of fire shoot out of my fist. Then I time the attack and I shout.
"Flames of Purgatory!" My entire left-hand catches on fire and I punch the shit out of my senior. His entire body catches on fire and he flies away from me and out of the ring. I start breathing heavily and then I wave my hand in the air.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Someone get me water!" I ask then the makeshift ramp underneath me collapses and I fall on my butt.
After a while and a lot of water ATX-0068 came up to me and pats me on the back. "Good job!" She tells me as I wipe my hand with a towel.
"Thanks. How was your mock battle?" I ask her. I see a towel boy heading my way and I threw my towel on his face. He was caught off guard and drop his wooden bucket of towels.
"It was alright." She tells me and we walk together and chat about some basic stuff. After living with her for six months I feel like she was a normal girl that just knows martial arts. I also couldn't believe this pure and innocent girl tried to kill me almost a year ago. This is insane just mind blowing insane.
"How is your secret art training?" She asks me.
"Ha-ha! Glad you ask. I just finished learning my thirty-six one. Secret number forty-three! Flames of Purgatory!" I said and I punch the air replicating my punch in the mock battle.
"Wow! You sure do learn fast."
"Enough about me. How is your secret art training?" I ask her. The gong rings, signaling our break is over and we need to head to our next class. Luckily ATX and I have the same class together. Grimm Synchronizing. So we walk towards the building where our lesson is being held.
"Not that great. I only mastered my twenty-second one." She says with a downhearted expression. I slap her back, causing her to almost trip.
"Don't be so sad! We have all the time in the world to learn all the techniques." I tell her.
"You're right!" She says. "But how is our growth so different? We both figured out the secret to executing the moves so why am I learning so slow?"
"I don't know. Are you sure you learned the right secret?" I ask her and she nods. We can't tell each other about the secret, not even fellow students who found out the secret as well. But I can tell you guys. The secret I learned four months ago was that. Just be yourself, that's the secret to using the hidden techniques of the school of Grimms.
"Well, forget about it. You did say we have all the time in the world." She says and then runs ahead towards our lesson. I made a frown and thought about my choice of words.
"All the time?" I thought to myself. She might have all the time because she has nowhere to go. But I need to go back to Beacon and check the situation. There is no sort of communication here at the school. No news we don't even have a calendar so I have to count the days I have been here myself. The closest thing we have to modern day technology is the old worn down books.
"I have to hurry my training." I told myself and I ran to my lesson.
"Soichi, don't force the dragon. You have to make it comfortable." Pig Grandmaster tells me. I sat in the lotus position on the ground. I was currently at level six of the Grimm form. My eye was twitching, trying to connect the bonds between me and the dragon.
But you know already that the dragon is not a cooperate dragon. If I nail this then I have easy access to level seven and hopefully unlock the full potential of the dragon. Although being at level six is still stressful.
I turn my head to look at ATX who has already broken her limit and successfully harmonize with the Kitsune Grimm. Her limit is only ten minutes at level seven, however, all her other form is long as fuck without any drawbacks. No more broken bones or mental stress.
She meditates peacefully, I know her eyes are closed under the mask of her. Although she may be at peace I can feel the Kitsune Grimm pushing her backward. Rejecting her control over the dangerous Grimm. Soon she had everything under control. She taps into the power of the Grimm inside of her and uses it as if it was her own.
Her tails sprout out spreading until all twelve was waving in the air by themselves. Then she starts to split into three people. Each person had four tails inside of twelve. Yet each of them looks the same and I cannot tell who is the real ATX and who are the clones.
Her training was better than mine. Her synchronization with the Kitsune is at sixty-five percent. Yet I'm nowhere near that amount, I'm only at thirty-six percent, and after a continuous amount of training it reduces little by little.
"Soichi stop." The Grandmaster tells me. I stop trying to form the connection between me and the dragon Grimm. I return to my human form and instantly my body becomes hot and I start to sweat. The sticky liquid drips down my head and fall onto the ground. "What's the matter? You're rushing today." Pig master tells me.
"Sorry. I..." I decide to stop there and not tell her about why I am rushing. "Just not in the mood today I guess."
"Then get into the mood. No slacking off!" She yells at me and I restart the connection with the Dragon. I feel him inside of me... Let me reword that I feel him laying dormant inside of my soul. Occupying it with Ying I use Ying as a medium between us to create a bond to access his power. It's the most efficient method I have right now.
After gaining access to level seven I should find another way instead of using Ying as the medium. ATX uses her own blood as the medium but I feel like I shouldn't do that. I slack off a lot and get fat every day so I won't have enough blood to feed the Dragon. Yet Ying uses his Aura to form the medium for me and the Dragon.
He's a good teacher just he has a hard time putting his thoughts into words and it just comes out weird.
"Alright, I establish the medium you can drag the bastard out now." Ying tells me and I took a deep breath. I start slowly going one level at a time until I was at level five. Tiny horns sprout onto of my head scales appears all over my body and my fingers sharpen until it looks like a claw.
"Thirty minutes right?" I ask Ying.
"No fifteen today. My Aura is a little low and I believe the Dragon Grimm has something to do with it." Ying says... WHAT THE FUCK!? Wait... Aura... Soul... Semblance... That's it! I got it!
"Ying! Stop being the medium! You're fired." I tell him and he doesn't need another moment for me to tell him. I feel my eyes getting heavier and a wave of coldness creeps over my shoulder and hugging me tightly. If I were to fall asleep the Dragon Grimm will take over my body.
When my eyes were about to close ATX slap me with one of her tails. My eyes spark to life and I didn't waste a moment with the time she gave me. I activated my semblance and slow down time to a crawl. I forgot to mention. After I gain more control over my Aura and my soul, my semblance has leveled up as well.
With my new semblance I can slow down time for five seconds, however, it has a one minute cool down now. One thing I cannot forget to tell you is that the clock behind me has disappeared as well. Now I look cooler... SHUT UP I AM COOL!
My plan is to use my semblance as the medium I'm not sure how well it will work, but it's better to try than not try. It's like what the famous basketball player once said. You miss one hundred percent of the little girls if you don't kidnap them. Jayden Smithsonium XXXX.
Once I establish my semblance as the medium I drag out his power. I feel my body warming up and the control the Dragon Grimm has over me disappears. Sitting there for about more than thirty minutes I feel nothing different. However, after fifty minutes I feel my breath getting harder and my bones starting to stretch out.
I open my eyes quickly and look at myself. I was donned with the black armor of the dragon Grimm. The scales-like marking over the black knight-like armor and the visor I was looking out of can see colors beyond the normal human eyes. Colors I cannot describe with mere words and I can smell everything in this school. I can even listen to a high pitched sound in the air is making.
None of this happens before when I went into level seven by pure will. I smelled everything! ATX's Kitsune scent she sprays out that lures in people, the dinner we're going to have. The delicious smell of humans...
I stopped meditating and quickly stand up. When I did the armor disappear and my balance is thrown off. I fall backward and landed hard on my head.
"You ok?" ATX asks me as she offers me a hand. After rubbing the back of my head, I took her hand and she helps me up. "That was great! You were in that form for half an hour!" She tells me.
"Half an hour?" I ask and she nods. That's almost the same time she can maintain the form now.
"How does it feel to tap into the Dragon's power?" She asks me and I look at my hands.
"It was... Unbelievable... I can see different colors unseen with normal eyes. I can hear all the different hertz of sound. I can smell everything, even the marinated chicken we are having tonight. But... What was that hunger for human flesh... That rage." I tell her.
"I don't know. But control yourself, you're Soichi, not the Dragon Grimm. So don't go running around trying to bite everyone's head off." ATX says. I look around and I see pig Grandmaster is missing.
"Where is our teacher?"
"Master Zhu went out and tell us to finish our training. But I saw you were doing so good I couldn't tell you to stop." ATX says, then the gong rings signaling our next class. "Come on! Time for advance Dust technique." ATX says. "We'll continue our synchronization tonight."
Weiss wakes up in her bed all sore and with lots of bandages all over her. She slowly gets up and slips into her cozy slippers and walks to her bathroom and freshen up. After being scolded by her father for getting hurt even when the concert is almost four months away, she walks to the library and reads some books.
Without attending any sort of school or academy Weiss still needs to catch up on her studies to become a fantastic huntress. After studying for a while she plays with Krystal just in the courtyard. She stops when Krystal runs into the forest beside her mansion and disappears without a trace.
The snow wolf does that to hunt for prey to keep her wild instinct hone. She is a wild animal and not a house pet so Weiss believes the wolf should keep its natural instincts. After taking a shower she goes down to have breakfast with Whitley and they remain quiet not even making a sound.
With haste, she finishes her meal and walks into a small studio room to practice for the concert. She hasn't used this room even when it was built just for her at a young age. Now she stays in here because it blocks the noise from the outside world. It blocks out the voice of her parents yelling and Whitley being a total snob.
She grew used to the yelling and even more when she was still at Beacon. Yang and Ruby are constantly screaming and shouting wherever they go and Soichi just being a loud douchebag. But when she returned to Atlas the constant shouting has been giving her headaches.
After practice, Krystal would be home by then and usually dirty. So Weiss took some time to wash the snow wolf today instead of leaving it to Klein or the maids. After drying off the wolf she studies a little more before asking Klein to prepare her a car. She asks her butler to drive her to her uncle Q's place to do some training.
Q was busy with meetings when she arrived, Weiss was a little sad, but she understood how hard it is on her uncle lately. He was the one mainly blamed for the fall of Beacon. His creations did attack innocent civilians and he did create a dent in the Schnee Dust Company's wealth. More and more people aren't trusting their weapons bridge anymore.
Worst of all she couldn't get into contact with Winter. There hasn't been any word from her sister after since her talk before Beacon's demise. All Weiss knew was that her sister is on a top secret mission... Which is, kind of obvious these days. With Winter on her mind, Weiss trains harder than before. Studying new forms of fencing. Making new strategies to counter her weaknesses. And increasing her stats all round.
Out of team, RWBY Weiss is no doubt the agile one out of the five. Moving and bending her body better than even Blake or Ruby. Surprising Yang isn't the heavy hitter on the team except when she turns her rage into power. The heaviest hitter on their team was Blake, mostly because of her semblance plays a tribute to how much damage she can inflict on her opponent.
Ruby is without a doubt the quickest out of the team and the weakest, but her trickiness with the scythe helps her stay alive. Soichi is the quickest when it comes to unleashing a fury of attacks. However, ever since Rage Cutter broke and with God Eater as his new weapon he is focusing on technique more. Weiss understood why he is focusing on it improving his technique.
God Eater has so many forms to master each of the forms requires a different technique of fighting and usage. So Strength goes to Blake, Agility goes to Weiss, Dexterity goes to Yang, Quickness foes to Ruby, and lastly, Technique goes to Soichi.
So how can Weiss improve? Increases the strength of her hits? No, her fencing style would drastically change. Becoming more durable? That would take too long and she isn't the one to take hits. So either she improves her technique or become quicker. She already has her semblance Glyphs to increase her speed.
So by order of elimination Weiss decides to work on her techniques. Fine tuning them and repeatedly executing the same move until she can do it in her dreams.
