Hey there my readers. Sorry that I wasn't able to get this up earlier, family stuff had me too busy to write. But anyways I wish you all a great day.
"My team smelled like food for a month. And I was brushing splinters out of my hair for a week." Pyrrha just shook her head.
"It was just a few tables." I giggled.
"You hit us with the entire cafeteria Ruby." The Rest of the class just stared at us in disbelief.
"Such disrespect." Is all that Tenya said.
Chapter 36: Conflictions
I laid down on the bench with my head on Kiri's lap as we waited for the others to finish their exams. "Pyrrha, are you and Ruby able to unlock all of our aura's? What exactly determines what a semblance will be? Are the power's genetically passed on?" Deku asked as he and Tenya were taking notes.
"While we could do it in time, unlocking someone else's aura will take a lot of effort. A semblance is often tied to a person's personality, and I only know of one hereditary semblance, the Schnee's Glyphs." Pyrrha explained to the two.
"Connected to one's personality?" Tenya asked.
"Think of Ruby's Petal Flash, she's always the first one to stand up, and acting on them without thinking it out first, though today she did come up with one, but it was incredibly stupid." I gave her a dirty look.
"What do you mean stupid?" I asked.
"You made a artificial volcano in a city." Deku pointed out, "You could have caused a lot of damage."
"You did cause a lot of damage." Tenya added.
"If it works, it works." I stick my tongue out at them.
"She is so child like, how was she made team leader?" Kaminari asked.
"She able to think on her feet. And she inspires people." Cementos walked in, "That would be my guess."
I exchanged a look with Pyrrha, we both knew that wasn't all of it, but we both stayed quiet.
"My question is what is next for you?" The teacher looked at the screen of Tsu and Tokoyami's exam with Ectoplasm.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I sat up.
"Your nearing your peek of your abilities, having too rely heavily on support gear in combat. You can't always trust quick thinking and weapons to get you through battles. Sometimes you need to slow down." With that he left.
I sat outside thinking of what he had said. Thinking on my feet was good but dangerous, but taking to long to think thing out would also compromise my main advantage, my speed. My entire fighting style had been made around weapons, but I had find a way to change that? I looked up when I heard foot steps coming up the cement pass.
"Hey guys." I smiled, but I guess it was off.
"What's the matter Ruby?" Tsu asked.
"It's something Cementos said." I explained to them what the teacher had told me.
"It sounds like he thinks you should use your gear less in combat, and to think more before you get into a fight." Tsu said as she sat next to me.
"But my gear is my entire fighting style." I groaned.
I watched as my class mates went through the exam, Mina and Kaminari had failed against Nezu. "You still thinking of what Cementos said?" Kiri asked.
"For a Huntress, our gear is a extension of us. You could say that they are part of who we are. To not rely on the gear we use is to neglect a part of you. To this world your support gear isn't as tied to your people." I laid Crescent Rose on my lap. "We make weapons with dust forged steel, as such we imbue it with our soul. You could use my scythe, but it won't be as powerful, Pyrrha had to requench Milo to change the imprint from mine to hers. They are weapons of the soul to combat the darkness."
"Well you won't always have a weapon on you. Or you can think of new ways to use your power." He suggested, then something clicked.
"Hosu." I stood up and started pacing, "In Hosu I used my semblance to just let attacks pass through me." I tapped my chin as I thought. "I didn't have that kind of control before."
"So you just have to refine your semblance even more." He stood up and grabbed my hands. "We'll do this together." I looked up at him. "We'll get you back home, and save your world."
"But what then?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" he asked as I let go of his hands.
"I have a duty to my world Eijiro. I made a oath when I choose to be a Huntress, but then why do I want to stay? A world with out Grimm, that is the dream of everyone on my world, a pretty little fairy tale made reality." I looked at me feet.
"Ruby... what are you saying?" He asked.
"Here is a place where they can all be safe, but we have so many social... crimes that they wouldn't integrate well, especially with people with mutation quirks. There are people who believe Faunas are half breeds of Human and Grimm, imagine what they would do to so many people here. The White Fang would go wild on the humans here, Atlas would use it's tech as well as the weapons here to create weapons" I turned from him. "I come from a world that needs joy and happiness to survive, yet all we can do is fight and hate each other." I wiped my eyes with my sleeve. "I don't know what to do."
And this chapter is done, I know it's a bit shorter then most of the more recent chapters. So leave a review and tell me what you all thought.
