I pulled out my scroll and pulled up the image of a Beowulf, Ursai and King Taigitsu. "Creatures of darkness that hunt humanity. They have existed longer then we have on our world."
"They have the same markings as..." He said.
"Yeah, I know. Right now Summer and Tai are back on Remnant, they will decide weather Remnant opens up fully to Earth with the kingdom's councils." I stood up "We managed to revert Summer, but Ruby's... condition is a lot more complicated."
"These Grimm have been seen on earth before, the Hosu incident, Ruby was there, she turned to dust with a silver flash, as impossible as it sounds... it explains everything but how you got here. But I believe I've pried enough." He stepped around the desk. "What kind of missions did you take as a Huntsman?"
"Intelligence, as well as search and destroy to cull the Grimm." I said.
"I have a job for you."
Chapter 15: Aura Control Class
I sat at my desk, Deku's pencil was smoking as he took down notes trying to catch up. He had just finished his house arrest, Bakugo still had one more day. I stood up and walked over to his desk. "Deku." I called his name, but he didn't notice. I pulled the pencil out of his hand. that caught his attention.
"Oh hey Ruby, what is it?" He asked as I handed him back the smoking pencil.
"I need your measurements, for the body suit, I have the fabric, spandex with gravity dust and copper compression wires weaved in, and wind dust cast steel braces for reinforcement. It'll let you use your quirk at stronger levels, I should have it ready in... four days." I explained as I set the sketches down, "I just need you to imprint on the metal... right I haven't unlocked your aura."
"Well I should worry about what power I have now, you said that Pyrrha had to reimprint on Milo? We can do that when I'm ready." He smiled as he looked over the sketches. "Yeah, thanks, I'll stop by your room later today."
As I walked over to my seat, I pulled out a large belt with a crystal lens, "Yuga, I'm done with the belt, I've incorporated a switch for fire dust as well, your laser should be stronger then ever, with half the strain."
"Merci, I will twinkle like never before." He smiled as stars formed around him, 'HOW! WHY!'
"Mina, I have those sleeves we talked about." I pulled out a pair of long green and purple fingerless sleeves that had small hole in the palm. "Only your strongest acid should burn through this. and you should be able to build up a lot more pressure now." I explained as she tried the on.
"Oh thank you Ruby!" She smiled as her pink hair bobbed around her head. "What are horn buddies for?"
I gave a small chuckle. "Kaminari, I have that lightning sword you wanted." I turned to the class charging port, I pulled out a sword handle and flicked it down and a central rod shot out ending in a fine point, "Lightning dust forged steel, once you use you're aura on it it'll be imprinted to you, it uses your electricity to form the blade."
"Yes, Kirishima unlocked mine last night." took the weapon and a yellow glow formed around him as focused on the weapon... "How do you imprint on the weapon?" He asked.
"Think of it like quenching the weapon with your identity. It's a extension of who you are." I pulled out a simple knife, my aura glowing around my hand, "It's easier with a weapon you forged, but given how that went last time. You have to accept the weapon as part of who you..." The blade in my hand glowed red for a second. "... are."
He closed his eyes, the weapon glowed yellow for a few seconds, then retuned to normal. "Did I do it?" He asked.
"Well give it a try." I waved my hand towards him.
The base of where the blade was supposed to be sparked twice before a blade made of electricity flared into existence. "I did it."
"Indeed you did." Qrow said from the front of the class. "Welcome to your first lesson on aura control. All of you will have you aura's unlocked by the end of the semester."
I took my seat as Qrow went over the basics of Aura. "What Ruby has taught you while rough at best is true. Iida, Jiro, Ojiro. have any of you discovered your semblance?" He asked. Ojiro and Kyoka shook their heads Iida stood up.
"I have." He announced.
"Well what is it?" Qrow asked. "Or at least describe it."
"Well it was strange, the world seems to move a lot slower, but I moved at my normal speed, at least to me." He said.
"Sounds like some sort of time dilation semblance, let's test it, sketch your hero costume, you have one minute of our time." Qrow ordered, and when Iida sat down he became a blur. Qrow pulled out a stop watch and clicked it.
As the seconds passed the paper that Iida was drawing on spun so fast as he sketched it out. when the minute was up he stopped completely and handed Qrow the image. "That felt like two hours."
"You have a perceived dilation of a hundred and twenty times normal. I'm impressed, Class 1-B's semblance's don't have anything like that."
"Wait, I never unlocked their aura's." I blurted out.
"Monoma unlocked them for them, said he had port unlock his." Qrow shrugged. "They all have their aura's and semblances thanks to his quirk Copy." My jaw hit my desk, that sneaky blonde, aura was the one advantage we had over them, well except for magic.
"Corinthia, what is your semblance?" Qrow asked. "I've only seen you use your magic."
"Royal Command. I can order anyone to do anything. So long as their human." She shifted in her seat as we stared at her. "I don't really like using it, it feels wrong."
"I see." He sighed. "About as powerful as it can get. Kirishima and Bakugo already have theirs, well we will start unlocking them soon, for now, those with aura but no semblance you are to write a two page essay about how it feels, this will help you discover your semblance. And while the chances are slim, you may not have a semblance."
"But I thought that aura and semblance go hand in hand." Deku asked as he looked up from his notes.
"They do, but only one needs the other to exist. There have been strong hunters with out a semblance, typically they have massive aura reserves to compensate. But also not every semblance's power is obvious, a few years ago, I had a student who's semblance was hindsight, at first he thought it a useless power, until he helped catch a serial killer who had murdered fifty people, because he could see into the past of any location he stood in. He went on to be a detective in Mistral, taking down slave rings in mere days." Qrow explained. "There is no such thing as a useless semblance. I don't want any of you getting discouraged if you get something that doesn't make any sense."
And I'm done this chapter as well.
