(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
I let out a long pant as I bring a hand to my side, wincing as I pull it away to reveal that my hand is stained red.
"ooooh... fuck." I wheeze as I hobble over to a nearby tree and slump down against it.
I glance around the war-torn battlefield, the Nights Edge sits in a rapidly decaying grimm corpse of a two- it used to be three- headed black hound without fur, just several tons of rippling muscle.
I had killed its two... 'minibosses' I suppose would be the best word for it... and they were probably more horrifying than the boss itself which could, in fact, breathe fire.
Their teeth could pierce aura...
Well, not completely, but while some things bruised me, their teeth sunk about a centimeter into my flesh.
That could have killed me if they bit the right place... aura be damned...
My aura is gone, and I have three large gashes in my side where the Cerberus' claws broke my aura... this fucking sucks.
My aura isn't regenerating due to it mostly being focused around my many wounds, trying to get them to quickly seal up so they can really begin healing.
My pupils shrink slightly in terror as I realize what I must do...
"Oh gods... I'm going to get such an ear-full..."
I slowly pull my scroll out of my pocket with a wince.
The sword clatters to the ground as all that remains are five little red cubes and a large bag of loot.
I put the scroll up to my ear and dial one of the only numbers in my contacts.
It rings for a moment.
"Heeeeey, hubby, how are you?"
"Pretty good..." I state, trying not to let my current pain cloud my voice at all.
"What's wrong?!"
Apparently, I didn't try hard enough.
"Oh, nothing too big... but do you suppose you could perhaps grab a couple of those healing drinks from the vending machine and make your way out into the forest... just a couple gashes here and there... nothing major-"
"You fucking IDIOT! You got hurt again, didn't you?! You went after another FUCKING boss, didn't you?!"
"I did..." I slowly nod. "One day, I might learn from my actions and realize that I could always be more prepared... but that day is apparently not today... I was able to beat the creep boss quite easily... then again, it was alone."
"When I get there, me and you are having words, mister."
I wince. 'oh, gods that is going to suck...'
"How are you even going to find me-"
She hangs up.
"…"
'a little rude...'
I glance to the screen floating beside me.
Boss Quest: Beowolf (One Time Only)
Defeat the Cerberus 1/1 [x]
Rewards: +1000 Mp, +1000 Sp, Your Beowolf Pup Cards Evolve into Grimm Wolf, Your Beowolf Cards Evolve into Pterolycus, Your Beowolf Alpha Cards evolve into Fenris, Loot from its corpse
'well, I've got time... I might as well take a look at those cards...'
The first, is just a simple grey wolf with a black mask... nothing like a regular Beowolf, these are purely quadrupedal, their only form of attack being a bite.
Summon Grimm Wolf (300*) {Uncommon}
Summons a Grimm Wolf to fight for you additionally, they are around 3-4 times stronger than the Average Beowolf, being faster, more durable, and more ferocious. (Lasts for 30 minutes for every 300 Mp placed into the card when summoning)
The next, is just simply a grey wolf with feathered wings on its back... nothing all that strange about it otherwise, though it does have a mask much like grimm tend to.
Summon Pterolycus (1500*) {Rare}
Summons an allied Pterolycus (Or winged wolf) that follows your commands, additionally, they can fly and are 12 times stronger than the average beowolf, being faster, more durable, and more ferocious. (Lasts for 30 minutes for every 1500 Mp placed into the card when summoning)
The next are the big wolfish bastards that gave me most of my wounds, giant grey beasts the size of a truck, they are fast, strong, annoying as hell, frankly I guess I'm lucky to be alive considering all I fought...
Summon Fenris (15000*) {Epic}
Summons a Fenris to fight for you, they are large, mean, and aggressive, can let out a howl that is loud enough to blow out eardrums, and their fangs cause light damage through aura, they are roughly 8 times stronger than the average alpha beowolf. (Lasts for 30 minutes for every 15000 Mp placed into the card when summoning)
I slowly shake my head with a sigh. 'I guess I just need to wait for Neo, then...'
A multi-colored figure storms into view. "ALRIGHT, BITCH!" She shouts immediately as she sits down beside me, popping the cap off of one of many drinks she brought in a grocery bag.
"How did you even find m-" She forces me to drink it, causing me to wince at the bubbles as they tickle my throat and my wounds to sting as they begin to close.
"I said we were going to have some words, and we are ABSOLUTELY about to have some words!" She exclaims. "If you want to be so damn reckless, that's fine! Just keep in mind if I ever see you get this wounded again, in all the stress I might forget to take my birth control pills. Won't that be a fucking shame? But the way I see it is, if you are going to be a reckless dumbass while fighting Grimm, you sure as hell are about to be reckless in bed."
"Y-You're threatening me with an unplanned pregnancy?!" I hiss as I pull the now empty bottle from my mouth and set it aside.
"DAMN STRAIGHT!" She shouts. "maybe that way you'll learn some responsibility! How many times have you been hurt and nearly died like a dumbass?!"
"Twice..." I sigh, allowing my shoulders to slump.
"And that's TWICE too many!" She shouts.
She looks into my eyes, tears starting to appear at the corners of her own as she gently hugs me. "I-I don't want to lose you, Lu... y-you are literally all I have... I-I don't know what I would do without y-you!"
"Fine, I'll chill out a little bit..." I sigh as I reach over to the plastic bag, grabbing another small bottle of healing drink.
"You fucking better." She growls. "I wasn't bluffing about the baby threat."
I let out a small huff. "Alright, Alright... I'll stop doing dangerous things if you stop threatening to thrust us both into something neither of us are prepared for."
"Okay..." She frowns.
"…"
"…"
"So, do you want to maybe get a pizza or something?" I ask.
"Sure, Sure, that sounds nice..." She answers.
"…"
"and can you grab that stuff over there really quick?" I gesture to my sword, the bag, and the cubes.
She shrugs and stands up, walking her way over to the bag where she picks up the sword and props it on her shoulders and turns back to me. "Hey! Hey, Lu! I'm like that character in that anime we watched!"
I let out a pained sigh at her dorky-ness.
She snorts and picks up a cube. "oooh these are sort of pretty- huh?"
"…"
"What?" I ask.
"…"
The cube disappears.
"…"
"What?!"
Pov: ?
'Ugh, class sucked today...' I shake my head with a small sigh.
"Yaaaang! Hurry up! I'm hungry!" A caped girl with black hair in all but the tips exclaims, she gestures towards a pizza place which makes damn good pizzas if I say so myself.
The bell above the door jingles as we enter, then we silently get into line, in front of us is a couple who are just casually waiting for the person at the front of the line to place their order.
"So, Pepperoni?" the white-haired boy asks his multicolored companion.
"Mn... sure." The girl shrugs.
I blink. "Lucas?"
The boy flinches and turns around, showing me that it actually is him.
"Oh, Yang... hello." He awkwardly waves.
The girl turns to look at me, the hairs on the back of my neck rising briefly as I feel something like a wave of malice... it's like looking into the eyes of a massive predator... I've never felt more small or insignificant... then, just as soon as it came, it disappears.
She has pink and brown hair, a couple white highlights within the pink side, her eyes are heterochromatic, being pink in one eye and brown in the other, acting as an inverse of her hair with pink on the brown side and brown on the pink side, she wears a blue hoodie- which I am fairly certain isn't hers judging by how it fits, and jeans with holes in the knees.
She is also about the same height as Ruby.
I take a deep breath and look back to Lucas, Ruby poking her head out from around me and drawing the attention of the petite girl beside him.
I blink as I realize something.
"Hey, why weren't you at class today?" I ask with a small head tilt.
"I had to do something today." He states.
"I'm something." The short girl snorts, causing me to flinch and Ruby's face to turn red at the implication.
Lucas glares down at the girl who just turns and sweetly smiles up at him.
"Oh, so that's how you want to play it, hm?" He asks.
He looks back over to me and points to the girl. "This bitchy midget broke into my house and refused to let me leave, and now is forcing me to buy her things."
I notice that his shirt is ripped pretty badly, there's a particularly bad spot around his side with three tears, along with dried blood. "W-Wait, you're hurt?!"
He looks down to the rip in his shirt. "What? Nah, that's healed."
The girl then pokes it, causing Lucas to flinch.
"Healed, hm?" She asks.
"A-Are you sure that you're okay?!" I ask.
"Oh yeah, if people would stop prodding it, I'd barely notice." He growls, casting a glance to the girl who smiles mischievously.
I look between to the two of them. "So... are you two... dating?"
"Regretfully." Lucas sighs.
"What the fuck do you mean by that?!" The small girl whispers with a glare before turning to narrow her eyes at me. "and why are you asking, bimbo?! Do you want him or something?!"
That menacing feeling comes back. "He might be able to cook on par with gourmet chefs, is really strong, is extremely loving, and has a massive co- *Mhmmm hmm mphmrrmm*
Lucas covers her mouth with one hand, lifeless eyes staring blankly at the floor.
"I don't want to date him!" I gasp, sounding slightly horrified.
"Ouch." Lucas winces, at the fact that I so brutally rejected him or the fact that the short girl bit his finger I don't know.
"Good." The girl growls, putting her now freed mouth to good use by staking her claim via a kiss to the cheek of Lucas. "Because he's mine."
She protectively grabs his arm with a hug.
Is... this what he has to deal with at home?
Is that why he looks so tired and dead inside at class?!
'oh, my gods... he's dating a yandere... WHY IS HE DATING A YANDERE?!'
He lets out a long sigh. "Hey, Yang, can you just forget you saw me at all today?"
I give him a slightly strained smile and nod. "S-Sure."
He finally notices Ruby who is peering out from behind me. "Do I... know you?"
"H-He forgot me!" She hisses under her breath.
He slowly blinks as he notices the guy in front of him has moved on. "oh sweet."
He steps up to the counter without missing a beat. "Hi, I'd like one large peperoni with garlic butter crust, and a box of cheesy bread.
I take this time to notice the large purple sword on his back, it is single edged and has a gap near the handle... it doesn't help that Ruby is practically drooling at the sight of it.
'heh, Ruby wants his sword- I'm going to walk into oncoming traffic if I ever think such a cursed statement again! The amount of mental pain I just felt was not worth the joke... NOT WORTH IT.'
"It'll be ready in fifteen minutes." The woman behind the counter states.
"Thanks." He nods.
He then proceeds to move on as if he hadn't even seen us...
Probably wise when he has to deal with a yandere... but hey, at least I know something I can hold over his head now to get him to fight me seriously in combat class!
Pov: Returned
"We should get married." Neo dreamily sighs from right in front of me.
We are watching- or, well, Neo is watching and forcing me to watch- a romcom.
I slowly blink at her. "Wait, what did you just say?"
She turns her head slightly glancing at me in the corner of her eye as we are currently spooning. "I said, we should get married."
"…"
"Neo, we haven't had a real relationship for more than like... two months."
"A sexual one for two and a half, but an actual one for... like nearly a whole year at this point." She shrugs. "Buuuut it feels like a lot longer, doesn't it, Hubby?"
"Are you including the times when you kidnapped me as part of our 'real relationship?"
"Of course." She scoffs. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"…"
"What?" She asks "You weren't complaining then."
"Yes... Yes I was." I deadpan.
"Pfft. You were just playing hard to get." She snorts as she reaches back and gently pets the side of my head. "But I won you over in the end~"
"Anyways, you didn't say nooo~"
"No." I frown.
"Mnnnn pleaaaaase?" She asks.
"No." I state again.
"Come on... you know we aren't breaking up so why don't you hurry up and make it so I can be called Neo Vermilion!"
"That doesn't work as well as your original name." I frown.
"Maiden names exist." She shrugs. "So, I'll really just swap in between at my leisure."
A smirk crosses her face. "And it's strange how you are now completely into the idea, y'know~"
"I never said I was into it, I just said that if it were to happen, your name wouldn't work as well." I sigh. "Neo, look, you are my girlfriend. I know this, potentially all of my class knows it after today, and well, you are probably one of the greatest things that happened to me... buuut I don't think I am ready to progress into that-"
"Literally nothing would change you goob." She scoffs. "You'd just be able to wear a ring on your finger now."
"…"
"Maybe." I sigh. "But if we do, we won't be having a wedding, at most we'll get a cake, get drunk and pass out in each other's arms."
"Mnnnn but Lu! I want a wedding!" She pouts, cutely
"Who would we even invite?!" I exclaim.
"My uncle?" She asks.
"And?" I ask.
"…"
"That girl in your class that I met today?"
"I have literally zero friends. Same with you." I sigh.
"Ouch." She winces.
"We could literally disappear off the face of remnant, and nobody would care that deeply about it besides your uncle."
She flinches slightly. "Y-You don't have to say it l-like that... you know..."
"…"
"You better fucking propose, though." She frowns.
I frown and roll over, pulling her onto my chest. "You know... I don't actually know what I want to do with my life... I could go to beacon... I was planning on going to beacon... but then I'd have to leave you behind... and I admittedly, have gotten really attached to you. So, I don't really know if I could do it."
"But we'd need money for a place, this apartment is payed for until I get out of signal... but after that? and, well, being a huntsmen pays well, but... is it really what I want to do?" I stare up at the ceiling. "Being a huntsmen gets me hurt... you've seen it yourself, and well... I don't want to be like my parents and leave behind a son or daughter that always wonders 'what if?'… 'what if they had actually been around... would I have been stronger? Would I have made friends easier?' It has been weighing heavily on my mind for most of today, but... should I be a huntsman?"
"I'm just not su-" I pause as she wiggles around in my grasp to face me.
I look down at her.
She pokes my nose. "Stop it. You can go to beacon if you really want. I'm not going to crush your dreams."
"But I'm just not sure if it's my dream anymore... y'know? I'd personally be satisfied with maybe a small shop... selling plants? That sounds pretty nice." I note with a small head tilt.
"If that's what you want to do." The girl in my arms shrugs before frowning thoughtfully.
"You know... I wasn't going to tell you, but if it's going to be a factor in if you go to beacon or not, I might as well..." She frowns. "I was actually planning on surprising you at beacon... I was going to forge some documents, and actually get in beacon with you, pulling every string I can to get placed on a team with you..."
I slowly blink. "How would you get on my tea-"
"My uncle is a criminal and he knows people." She hums. "Least he could do for his favorite-slash-only niece is get her a spot at beacon with her beloved!"
"But heeere you go, being all angsty!" She pouts. "I honestly didn't expect my words to have this much weight... buuuut you are mine, so I'll love you all the same, you insecure fucker."
"Are you kidding? You literally said 'hi, yes, if you get hurt again, I'm getting pregnant'! HOW COULD I NOT TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY?!"
"…"
"I'm still thinking about naming it Vance..." She murmurs to herself. "And no, I'm not pregnant... yet... I felt that mounting horror... and honestly, all I can say to that is 'rude'."
"Neo... you are literally going to be the death of me." I sigh pressing my forehead against hers
"Probably." She snorts.
Suuup! How's it going all, just decided to post this because it was done, I'll see you all later!
Guest Reviews:
Dear, Some Bot Maybe: Yeah, a dragon is sort of starting out a little high on the list... but no boss Salem because 1: I don't think Lucas could even kill her, and 2: he would have to genocide thousands of salems to get enough for a boss card- but keep in mind, he would gain the ability to summon Salem before that point.
Anyways, that was the only review that warranted any sort of reply... so there you go!
