Chapter 21
After we had gotten past the incident at the docks, we had then spent our last week of the semester having fun and doing exams. Luckily, my semblance was back so I scored pretty high. I spent most of the break hanging with my friends and family including team RWBY and JNPR we even went to an amusement park on one of the days.
But now we were back in the dorms and would be starting a new semester in a couple days. I was eating while looking organising my inventory as I say with team RWBY.
"Whatcha doing?" Yang asked me and Blake as she slid towards her partner.
"just going through my inventory" I reply after Blake says that she's going through her notes and wow I'm so bored I might enter another dungeon later.
"Lame." Yang replies after catching a grape in her mouth it seems that she is just a bored as me.
I then heard someone waking towards us, so I look to the noise to see Ruby walking towards us excitedly carrying a binder making me curious what's she doing
She then slammed the Binder onto the table making more than one person jump in surprise. I recognised the binder as Weiss's the one that has said 'Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee" Only know that had been crossed off with a red marker now it said "best day activities" this will hopefully cure my boredom.
Ruby then clears her throat as she motions to the people on the table as we look to her in interest "Sisters... friends... Weiss" she says adding the last part on jokingly making me snicker as Weiss objects but gets ignored. "Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream." I couldn't help but feel like this speech sounded familiar.
"This ought to be good." Yang says after catchiest a berry thrown by Nora with her mouth.
"A dream that one day, the five of us will come together, as friends, and have the most fun anyone has ever had... ever!" having the most fun ever sounds like a tall order but I was still happy to be included.
"Did you steal my binder?" Weiss asked recognising the binder.
Ruby then makes a peace sign with her hands "I am not a crook." She replied pretending to be offended making me snicker the evidence really was against her.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked wanting more information.
"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby replies like that cleared anything up as she points a finger at Blake.
"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?" Yang says with a stupid pun making me roll my eyes and If I said that I was unhappy about Nora throwing an apple at her I would be lying. Ruby then Ignored Nora's booing as she continues to talk.
"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby finish it was sweet she wanted us to all hang out to get to kick of the semesters.
"sounds like fun I'm in" I reply since I am super bored
"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Weiss says honestly as Yang tries to throw an apple back at Nora but misses and a random person gets hit instead making Nora giggle.
"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out." Blake says I've noticed that ever since what happened at the Docks, she's been acting different. It was like she had this one goal and nothing else matters to her.
"Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a together" she said surprisingly sweetly but it's a nice sentiment but of course this was when everything went crazy.
"I got it!" I Hear Nora's excited voice shouting making me fill with dread
But I guess Weiss didn't hear her "I for one think that" she starts to say put pauses when a pie if thrown at her face making me snicker as I quickly look to Nora who is now trying to blame Ren as the rest of team JNPR all have different reactions it was clear that Pyrrha was trying to hide her amusement while Jaune was sat there shocked. I guess we might have a food fight together.
I hear multiple students yell for a food fight as more than a few people run off. I smirk this will be fun I think as I jump onto a tower and watch the chaos begin the question is are, we going to be using our semblances.
Noticing that team RWBY and JNPR have formed teams and well getting into their roles surprisingly well Nora was acting like a queen as she stood on a makeshift table tower and Ruby was giving a weirdly good speech while drinking a carton of milk.
I made use of a new ability I had unlocked after becoming level 50 duplication. It was the same ability that Nara has. So, I made a copy myself to even the numbers splitting my meters in half as we vault onto our own table making our presence known at the end of Ruby`s speech.
"sorry but your victory won't be easy" we say as the other two teams attack simultaneously. The food fight was surprisingly violent as Nora sends flying melons to us with her strength I was able to dodge and block most of them but when I tried to use my telekinesis to stop the melons I noticed that just stopping one of them was quick to burn through my Mana and enough blocking the melons with my forearms was quickly eating through my Aura I was taking around 50 damage to it with each hit. So, after me and my duplicate share what we found we both pick up a tray each to use as a makeshift shield.
So far, the only casualty has been Weiss who was knocked out by Nora. Knowing that it`s strategic to let them fight between themselves and then make sure I win.
I make sure to hide in the rafters and then when Ruby believes that she won I teleport behind her ignoring the new arrivals with a pair of linked sausages and wrap them around her arms trapping her as I secure my victory with my feet planted as she eeps..
I grin at her "looks like I win" she then looks back to me as I dispel my clone.
"to be honest I forget that you were here" she says pouting making me deflate that hurt. But then much to my shock she takes advantage of my dropped guard by using her speed to spin around getting free as I fall to the ground in pain.
Critical hit
The notification says making me roll to the ground as I crossed my legs in pain "your knees are so bony" I wheeze out as she noticed that I was in pain.
She puts her hands on my shoulders and looks apologetic "oh I`m sorry I didn't mean to hit you in your-" she then pauses as her face went red "ugh there" she says after a break looking away.
"don't worry it was fun" I say slowly getting up luckily because of my semblance pain doesn't last for very long I then panic as I realise how my words could have been misunderstood "the food fight part not the getting hit part" I say wanting to clear up any confusion I really don't want her thinking that I`m some kind of masochist, looking around for a distraction I see a familiar face and a stranger covered in food.
"hey Sun right" I say waving slightly. I then observe him and his friend.
Sun Wukong
Why isn't he wearing a shirt
Monkey Faunus (if you couldn't already tell)
Sun Wukong is a student at shade academy the leader of team SSSN coming here to take part of the Vytal festival. He left his team back in Vacou so he could come here early. Which is pretty irresponsible to be honesty? I wonder where he has been staying since the dock fight. He won't be much trouble since he`s a relaxed person unlikely to cause fights without reason, but he is a skilled fighter and a good leader, when he is around at least. very loyal and caring to the people he cares about.
Okay good I was guessed I was right to trust my gut about him. although it`s weird my semblance isn't normally so chatty it`s almost as if my semblance wants me to like him.
Neptune Vasilis
Weirdly named
Normal human except for the blue hair
While Neptune is named after someone who`s believed to be the god of the ocean and he even uses and transforming Trident he is terrified of the ocean how weird. He`s a good guy but a flirt so tries not to get feelings for him.
Okay they seem like good guys if a little weird and I have no idea how the last bit is going to affect me anyway. But of course, before we can speak at all the scariest person in Beacon has barged in here,
And she doesn't look happy the woman who looks so much like a librarian Glynda good witch is now here looking at the damage as she growls but to be honest if she wasn't so scary, she would be a lot hotter. Or maybe the scariness adds to the hotness factor.
I quickly dig a claw into my right palm hard enough to hurt but not enough to draw blood to make myself focus as people were sending me curious looks as I`m sure that my face was going red. Ruby seemed to be glaring at me now for some reason. Luckily, Mrs Goodwitch was too busy using her powers to fix the room to notice me. Hopefully at least.
When she was finished, she turns to us "Children, please. "she says adjusting her glasses in a way I found hot "Do not play with your food!" she says angrily as I hide my mouth, so she won't notice my grin that line was too good. Nora then burps loudly causing me to brake and laugh strongly made worse by the sight of a screaming worse fall back down from the ceiling as she crashed into a table and the rest of us all fall into different states of laughter by the time we were done Mrs Goodwitch was gone she had probably been dragged away by Ozpin.
I make sure to dispel my clone since having two of me tends to cause confusion and since I don't get his memories until after I get rid of him leaving him around for too long tends to give me a headache.
I then equip some new clothes as mine were dirty and then I pull out a couple packs of wipes from my inventory. I then pass some wipes along so that people can clean themselves as I do the same "that was fun but I`m surprised that Mrs Good which didn't punish us.
"she definitely would of if it weren't for Ozpin" Jaune replied.
"yeah we got lucky" Yang said then she smirked at me "I think your staring was making her even angrier" she adds on making me blush.
"I didn't notice I was doing it at first" I say blushing.
"I can`t blame you though she`s hot don't you agree Jaune" she says making us both more embarrassed
"Yang stop this" Ruby says annoyed.
"sorry I was just having a little fun but next time you should probably watch the starring since you were making Ruby jealous" the last part was added jokingly embarrassing both me and Ruby even more.
"so, where did Sun and Neptune go" I ask changing the subject noticing that they were gone.
"who" Jaune asked I guess his team didn't meet them yet.
"they went to clean up which is something we should do" Blake says speaking up and we then go our separate ways.
It was a couple days after the food fight and our only punishment really was a couple days of detention. And now were hanging out in the library. Team RWBY was playing a board game called Remnant the game and team JNPR were doing things separately, Nora had fallen asleep as Ren and Pyrrha study and Jaune was pretending to study while reading comics.
I couldn't help but watch the board game in the corner of my eye they were getting surprisingly invested in the board game and it seemed like Yang was wining much to Weiss and Ruby`s displeasure. Blake didn't really seem invested in the game though. They were getting kind of messy too I noticed after the third game piece was threw at me not wanting them to be lost, I put them in my inventory.
I noticed that Jaune seemed to have gotten bored of studying after Pyrrha had swapped his comic book for a textbook and was now trying to play the game.
"Hey! Can I play?" Jaune asked obviously bored.
"Sorry Jaune, we've already got 4 people." Ruby says letting him down gently and it could have ended there if it weren't for Weiss.
"Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt that you possess." I actually felt like Jaune was good at tactics and planning I`ve noticed that with the way he fights and leads his team. Too bad he doesn't have any common sense but still Weiss isn't really the one to talk.
"Uhh, you attacked your own naval fleet 2 turns ago." Yang says voicing half my thoughts and annoying Weiss making me snicker as Weiss tuts.
"Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader!" Jaune says making me roll my eyes he really shouldn't boast so much even if I can tell it`s false bravado.
"By who? Your mother?" Weiss says making him deflate again as I listen in amusement as Jaune gets embarrassed
"A-and Pyrrha"" he says weakly making Pyrrha wave.
"Hello again!" she says reminding me of the time they all met that certainly was funny.
Jaune then starts begging as he puts his hands together "Come on, let me play your hand for a turn!" he pleads obviously not wanting to study anymore.
"I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!" Weiss says as if this game was the real thing
"Why not? You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fa- "with that I facepalm can Jaune really not keep secrets if it weren't for Pyrrha everyone would of know Blake`s secret.
"Fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect." Pyrrha says weakly trying to save Jaune but I wasn't even sure if the first part was all that true the only sound now was jaune laughing nervously
I then look to an annoyed Blake noticing that everyone was looking at Blake nervously did she not know that the rest of team Ruby told team JNPR not that any of them would really care about Blake being a Faunus they didn't even blink twice at seeing that I was a Faunus.
"Right. That. Ladies enjoy your battle" Jaune says awkwardly bowing as him and Pyrrha quickly leave, I then put on headphones wanting to focus on my Manga.
"Sup losers." I faintly hear a familiar voice say and so I look to the source to see that Sun guy doing a peace sign, so I wave in greeting before going back to my story. Still with the corner of my eye I see what goes on. Neptune successfully flirts with Weiss with a nick name that Jaune already tried much to his displeasure, Blake leaves in a huff after Sun tries to flirt with her. And then Jaune joins the remnant the game taking Blakes place and obliterates them. Then I go into an undead dungeon.
Undead dimension
Round 1
11 enemies
First thing I did was look at my costume I found it cool but if it weren't for my weird gamer powers, it would be extremely impractical. Leather jeans, a black form fitting top under a black leather jacket. I also had a metal chain around my arm that couldn't remove or mess with, a pair of black sunglasses fixed onto my shirt. Black combat boots and black biker gloves it was kind of weird to be honest.
This dungeon was a higher difficulty to the ones I've been using before it has a lot of different undead type enemies. Most of them are apparently Draugr, Vampires, and zombies I've already got used to Draugr and zombies, but the other creatures are going to be more difficult.
I`m more worried about vampires not only are they are physically superior to most of the other enemy types the only way to kill them is to destroy the heart or burn them and they are much smarter as well as having a more wide array of powers.
Looking around I managed to find a machete, a wooden stake, and a one-handed hammer this won't be easy.
The first things to attack me were 5 zombies so I switched to a hammer and lunged at the closest one cracking its skull with my hammer I then kick the one that tried to lung at me breaking it`s knee before I pulled out a machete and cut its head off. I then felt myself being picked up and thrown into a wall making me spit blood.
HP: 450/500
SP: 480/500
MP: 500/500
AP:800/1,000
I then look to the enemy that attacked me to see the cliché vampire stereotype. It was what I assume to be a guy dressed in a black cloak with pale skin and glowing red eyes and fangs barred.
I quickly switch to fire and shoot two fire balls at the vampire setting it on fire before I send Nara of to kill the remaining zombies I then lung at the zombie with the stake only it dodges me turning into bats and I felt it rematerialize too late as it punches me through a wall
HP: 400/500
SP: 400/500
MP: 300/500
AP:600/1,000
I might have bitten of more than I can chew making up a plan I lung at the vampire and when it turned into bats, I shot a stream of flames at him setting him a light. When the vampire was burning away, I made sure to finish him, off with a stake to his heart.
Round one end
1,500 XP 1,000 Lien
A hatchet
A spear
A revolver
50 0.50 Cal revolver rounds
I grin liking what rewards I got as I load my revolver looking to Nara, I check on him since he must of the one who defeated the rest of the enemies for me.
HP: 900/1,200
SP: 600/1,200
MP: 700/1,200
AP:700/12,000
Good he wasn't too hurt but maybe we should of left the last one alive until our meters were mostly full I also noticed that we had a couple Draugr helping us they must have been the ones that Nara had summoned with his skill there was around five of them around. O the n summons two Draugr for myself leaving myself with a bit above 100 mana left leaving it off the automatically summoning mode since I wanted to save my mana.
wave two begins
22 enemies
My best guess was that there will be one more vampire every wave I should take them out soon as possible so with my hatchet I take out as many zombies as I could before I notice the first vampire try to attack me. This one didn't have telekinesis. It shot this beam at me though that I was too slow to dodge and then I started to feel myself getting weaker and weaker. Looking at my meters I noticed that with every second my Aura was being drained by ten.
That`s bad really bad I assumed that when I run out of Aura my HP will start to be drained so I quickly drink a mana potion. And shoot off my revolver rapid fire not liking how little damage I was doing I then shoot a fire ball at him which did a lot more damage before I tackle him to the ground and shoot him directly in the heart to kill him.
11 enemies left
HP: 100/500
SP: 200/500

AP:0/1,000
This really didn't look good I then felt myself getting kicked in the back as I felt my spine crack and I tasted blood in my mouth. I couldn't even feel my bottom half and my right arm wasn't working pulling out my gun with my left working hand but before I could even shoot my hand seized in a firm yet surprisingly soft grip. And when I looked to the source, I was shocked.
Sometimes I really think my semblance is perverted. This Vampire was a female I was sure of that. While the male vampire was a stereotype of the creepy dark vampires, the female one was the kind of vampire you almost want to suck your blood. She was the kind of female vampire that you see in a lot of anime and games they were usually dressed for fan service.
She was a hot pale black-haired woman that looked like she was in her twenties with a slim build but still a modest sized chest that looked perfect for her. She was dressed in a cloak that looked painted on and she had a hole in the front of her robe making most of her boobs visible. She was dressed in black heels and had blood red lips with red ruby eyes.
"Come back when you're a bigger threat" she said with a wry smile and a wink before she pulled the trigger for her own pistol blowing my brains out.
