I would like to apologize to people in advance, I know that I had promised you a lemon but due to the loose ends in the story, I had postpone it. But don't worry I have promised you a lemon so that's what you shall receive. An Arc never goes back on his words... I mean, I'll never go back on my word. For now, please enjoy.


Pyrrha's POV

When Pyrrha opened her eyes the first thing she saw was the sleeping form of her partner. She was lying down in a hospital bed of Beacon with her Blonde Partner who was laying his head in her lap while holding her hands. He hadn't left her side for the last 3 days except for bathroom. He even ate his food near her to keep her company. Looking into his innocent sleeping face, Pyrrha knew that she had made the right choice. All the power in the world was useless if it can't protect the someone's innocence. That's the meaning of Power, to protect what you love. Cardin only loved himself and used his power for his own sadistic pleasure, while she loved the her friends and used her Power to make sure that they were safe, by Any Means Necessary. There was no such thing as Right or Wrong in this world. Everyone had the right to do whatever gives them happiness as long as they don't hurt innocent people. Cardin and his team broke that rule and they suffered for it.

It's been 3 days since the incident. Her injuries weren't that much serious and she had regained consciousness within a few hours. Within a day, the news of her assault had spread in every Kingdom, and there was a crowd of reporters in the Vale City trying to get information about her. Some Beacon Student had most likely tattled to the outside press.

The first time she woke up, Cardin and his team weren't in the infirmary, she wasn't surprised.

Pyrrha Nikos, Jewel of Mistralian Reputation and International Celebrity,

1. A Girl who had left her own country so that she can attend her education in a different country

2. Who had chosen Beacon, who had been adored by people and children all over the Remnant. An Inspiration for Every Child and Huntress-in-training. 3. And most importantly, who had been assaulted while she was unarmed in her school uniform, by a team of Huntsmen-in-training, Students who had been trusted with the protection of the public.

This was a Reputation Suicide, for the Beacon and for the City of the Vale. Every Huntress, Huntress-in-training, and every Concerned parent of a daughter were asking questions from their Government. Every citizen of Vale was having doubts, if they can't even trust their protectors then who can they trust. Every Hardcore Feminist was calling for the blood of CRDL.

The Councilmen of Vale would do everything in their power to run damage control. They had immediately taken team CRDL into police custody, just after a few hours of information leak. When After a Day of Incident, When Pyrrha heard that the team CRDL tried to escape and all of them were shot dead by the police in self-defense, she wasn't surprised. Given the fact that Team CRDL weren't in the condition to walk let alone fight, their deaths was clearly a result of damage control by the Council. The Council hadn't mentioned in the official report about the injuries to the *cough* private parts of Team CRDL. According to the official report, members of CRDL only had superficial injuries and some bruises. The Staff of Beacon likely had been threatened by the Council to agree with the Official Report.

The Position of Council was highly sought out position. Only the Most Ruthless people could hope to sit on the position. If CRDL were left to live, then they would've gone through a trial, which would've only worsened the Reputation of Vale. Questions would've been asked about the lax security of Beacon.

" If you can't SOLVE a problem, then REMOVE the problem. " That was the motto of Every Politician. The Vale Government had also released a video apologizing to her for this Incident.

Pyrrha knew about her next steps very clearly, She had been training her entire life :

1. She would show humble nature and tell to the world that actions of a few didn't define an Entire City. - Gain the Support of Valean People and Council of Vale would gladly destroy every evidence in order to take the public's attention away from this Incident.

2. She will tell the news reporters about her sadness towards the fate of CRDL, about how she didn't hate them and wished that they could've gotten a second chance to atone for their sins. (There was No Redemption for Trash according to her, but the Public didn't need to know that.) About how she'll attend their funeral and pray that they will find peace in afterlife. She'll urge the public not to ostracize their families. She'll remain a humble girl and give her thoughts about forgiveness and atonement. - Gain the sympathy of the public by showing a humble face and you will be protected from any threats and supported by Every Politician. If anyone tried to point fingers at her in suspicion then they will be butchered by the Angry Public. She'll also arrange some TV Interviews with the The Council of Vale and The Families of Team CRDL. She'll always show a forgiving nature and remain a saint in the eyes of public.

3. She'll tell the media about the good qualities of Students and Teachers of the Beacon. - Protect the Reputation of the Beacon and Beacon will protect you. Students and Staff will gladly throw CRDL under the bus and shower Pyrrha with Praises, in order to improve their own Reputation.

In the end, Public doesn't want the Truth, what they want is what they believe to be Truth. And if someone tried to paint Pyrrha Nikos in a wrong way, then it wouldn't end well for their Reputation. This was the Power of a Beloved Celebrity. Cardin was a fool, being hated by the people around you isn't good for long-term survival. The Lone Wolf only existed in the movies, in Real life, Lone Wolf was the Dead Wolf. People who stand alone are the first ones to die. Instead of STANDING APART from the crowd, one should rather LEAD and CONTROL the crowd. Pyrrha understood this lesson a long time ago, as long as you have the loyalty of the public, then you can get away with anything... ANYTHING.

In the end, Pyrrha wasn't a bad person. She would never abuse her power to hurt innocent people just for sadistic pleasure. Her parents had given her better teachings. But she also wouldn't hesitate to use her powers to protect what is precious to her.

In the end, what happened to Cardin was his own fault. " You make your choices and You suffer the consequences."

In fact, What did Cardin thought ? That he would get some inappropriate pictures of her and ruin her Reputation. *Chuckle* There were already hundreds of 'Real' adult content of the Invincible Girl. There were dozens of Pyrrha Nikos - Lookalikes working as Adult Actresses. Even if he somehow got some inappropriate video and released it, then her agents would immediately hack into the server and delete it, declare the picture as fake and The Mistralian Government would break down CRDL's Door for trying to spread fake propaganda material and trying to ruin the Reputation of the Invincible Girl and Mistral. With the Mistralian Government pointing conspiracy fingers towards Vale and Beacon, both of them would throw team CRDL under the bus.

This was the Power of Invincible Girl. She had spent years earning her Spotless Reputation and Love of the Public. She would never sacrifice her Friends to protect her Fame but she'll gladly use her Fame to protect her Friends.

A Naive Girl wouldn't have survived a day, in the Cruel World of Fame, being surrounded by Ruthless Businessmen and Manipulative Reporters. Her Parents taught her to fight before they sent her to tournaments, Her Agents taught her to survive before they sent her to Media Interviews and Business Deals.

In the end, the Only Way Cardin could've won against her was if she had allowed it. He had most likely been fooled by her Nice Girl Mask just like everyone else and thought that she would submit with a few threats. He never learned that The People you see in the TV aren't what they appear to be. Even if you somehow found the truth then you'll try to deny it because that's how much Celebrities excel at Manipulating your Perception with their Charisma and Smiles.

In the end, Cardin and his team lived their lives like delusional fools and died like fools, never truly understanding the darker reality behind the propagandas of the Kingdoms and Celebrities. Propagandas of Humans and Faunus.

She had already contacted her mother and assured her that she was alright. Now there was one important thing that needed her Undivided Attention .- The Sleeping Face of her Crush that was drooling on her lap. *Squeal* Oh, how she wished to take hold of that cute face and shove her tongue down his throat. Now that all the grim stuff was out of the way, Pyrrha can focus on the more important issue- How to get Jaune into her bed and to get into his heart (and also into his pants).

Many people will call her inexperienced in the Romantic Relationships(which would be quite accurate). But that doesn't mean that she was impractical in her methods.

Her entire life she had been taught that if you want something, you must work for it. Leaving your future into the hands of fate was stupidity.

" If you want to Take Something , you must Give Something in return." She had given her sweat, tears and blood to gain her Strength. She had sacrificed her time and privacy to gain the Love and Support of people. Same way, if she wants to gain someone's love and loyalty then she must give something to that person. Jaune was that person. In more simple terms: future investment. She had spent many years of her life analyzing everything and manipulating her words and actions in such a way that she always came out on top spotless. It has become a habit. She can't just leave everything to fate.

Many would say why waste your time on Jaune when you can have 'Better' guys. When other girls looked at Jaune, they saw what he was Today but when Pyrrha looked at Jaune she saw what he can Become. Why waste your time trying to find a diamond, when you can just create one to your own needs. Pyrrha had spent a lot of time surrounded by physically attractive men, a good example would be her Father. After spending so much time of her childhood around her Father (who for some reason never wanted to put on a shirt), She had become immune to such things. But when she looked at Jaune, it was different. Jaune doesn't have much muscles compared to other Huntsman, but what he did have was created by HER.

SHE had spent the last few months, helping Jaune in the gym. His muscles (not much RIGHT NOW) had been chiseled by her. A painting created by You (no matter how bad) will always be more attractive to You than a painting created by someone else.

SHE was the one who was turning Jaune into a Hunk. Everytime she looked at a shirtless Jaune in the gym looking at his improved muscles, she wanted to jump him. To show off to everyone that those muscles were created and chiseled by her, that this body belongs to her, but she controlled herself (only barely).

Pyrrha Nikos was going to turn Jaune Arc into A Perfect Male Specimen, A Diamond , but first she'll have to make sure that Jaune knew who he belongs to. She can't just let someone else steal the Man that she will create with her dedication and patience. If some girl wants A Loyal Brave Caring Blonde Hunk then they find their own, Jaune Arc belongs to her. She had already made her claim on him, She had saved his life and Unlocked his Aura, She wanted him when he wasn't wanted by anyone else. One day, Jaune Arc will become the Man that Every Girl dreams about, that Every Woman wants to Marry. And that day, if some Snowflake Flat-chested Princess thinks that she can come and take what belongs to Pyrrha Nikos, well then Snowflakey Princess will have to be sorely disappointed.


Ozpin's POV

Looking out of his office window while drinking his coffee, Ozpin( or more specifically Ozma) could see the setting Sun casting a beautiful light over the entire Vale. There was a reason that the last King of Vale had created his castle in this specific location ( in another words, he had created this castle in one of his previous lives as King of Vale and in the next life turned it into a Academy for Huntsman and Huntress.)

He had spent the last 3 days being hounded by Citizens, The Politicians, and The Council of Vale ever since the Incident. This was the reason he had installed hidden cameras in every part of the school ever since He became the Headmaster. Every single day, the recording from those Cameras was analyzed by Professo.. *cough*Doctor Oobleck who could easily analyze the videos and audios played in the fastest speed because of his semblance ( The ability to perceive information in an extremely fast way...aka Slow Motion Vision). The Private Recordings of the undressed females was sent to Glynda to check for signs of any sort of Physical abuse(one can never be too careful) while the Private Recordings of males was sent to Professor Port. Ozpin could only imagine the reaction of the male students when they realize that there private hand-relief sessions had been personally watched by Professor Port *Chuckle*. Ozpin still remembered the horrified(and extremely amusing) face of Qrow when he learned this information... Ah, the Good times.

Many people would call it a breach of privacy, but these students weren't children they were Soldiers. Beacon had invested a lot of money into training of every single individual, Soldiers had no right of any Privacy. While Beacon wasn't a jail like Atlas Academy, Ozpin still made sure to keep his eyes on the students. Ozpin would always allow his Students to make their own choices but He'll always make sure that they make the right choices, The Future of Remnant depended on those choices.

It was because of these recordings that he already knew that Team CRDL had bad intentions towards Ms. Nikos even before the Incident. He had hoped that they will not allow their darker nature to take control and make the right choice but Disappointments were a part of Ozma's life. In the end Everyone made their Own Choices and suffered the Consequences. It was also because of this reason that he allowed Mr. Arc to participate in the Initiation regardless of his forged transcripts( like really, even blind person could see that it was fake. At least other Students put some effort into their fake transcripts. It was quite insulting that Mr. Arc believed that his poorly forged transcripts can pass through Beacon's Clearance.) Ozpin always allowed the people to make their own choices, even if that choice is to jump off a Cliff without Aura and any training.

If Ozpin had rejected Mr. Arc then he would've tried somewhere else and gotten killed by a Grimm for his efforts(he wasn't a heartless person to let a Noble if Naive kid walk to his own death). Seeing Mr. Arc helping Ms. Rose had only created a soft spot for the boy in Ozpin's heart. After being supported by many different generations of the Noble Arc family in his many lives, Ozpin wasn't going to let their legacy die in such a stupid way. No, Jaune Arc wasn't destined to be a Hunter, but may be one day his children will rewaken the Arc legacy.

Ozpin and Glynda had thought that Mr. Arc will get away from the launching platform once he sees that his stupidity will lead to him becoming a red splatter in the Emerald Forest. The Best Way to teach a stupid child is to show them the result of their stupidity. Even Before, Many Hopeful Initiation Candidates had thought they can fool Beacon with their forged transcripts but when they saw that the first step of becoming a Hunter is getting launched from a cliff, they quickly back pedaled from their dream of becoming a Hunter and dedicated their lives to other less dangerous endeavors.

Ozpin had thought that Mr. Arc would do the same and dedicate his life to help people in a different way. That's why he had planned to launch Mr. Arc after every one else, just so that Jaune has the chance to see through his stupidity and walk away with his life.

But even HE had been throughly Amazed by the Absolute Courage( or Absolute Madness, according to Glynda) shown by Mr. Arc's Leap of Faith .

What many people don't know is that Aura can also be awakened in Life-or-death situations. Normal Children needed someone else's Aura to awaken their own, but if the person had a Huge Amount of Aura(extremely rare cases) then it can be awakened automatically during extreme situation. Ozpin knew that Mr. Arc had a lot of Aura (He was from the Arc Family) so there was no need to panic. Jaune Arc won't die, his Aura will be awakened at the last moment and at most he will end up with a few broken bones. Ozpin would send someone to bring Jaune to safety and motivate him to try his luck in other Roads of being a Hero. Maybe Mr. Arc can become a field medic with his Activated Aura, that's also one way to achieve his dreams.

But Once again Ozpin had been surprised (he didn't let it show Of Course) when Jaune was saved by Invincible Girl. Fate worked in mysterious ways.

Jaune Arc had gambled his life and somehow won. Oh Well, Ozpin wasn't cruel enough to take away Mr. Arc's well-earned reward for his Leap of Faith.

He had decided to give Mr. Arc One Year in his Academy. Students weren't sent on missions until their Second Year(and in their second year they were send only if there was a fully trained Hunter with them), so there was no danger for Jaune or His Team. Either Jaune will quit, fail OR He will become worthy of his name and position. Port and Oobleck applauded him for his Wisdom and Intelligence. Glynda wasn't impressed by the decision but that didn't count. (Glynda NEVER agreed with him. EVER. Time-travelling wizard or not, Everyone had feelings. )

But After all of this, Once Again, The Headmaster of Beacon had been surprised by Mr. Arc when he decided to tell his secret to his partner. Professor Oobleck himself was quite surprised when he brought the video to Ozpin. But they weren't surprised when they saw that Mr. Winchester had heard the secret as well( Only an Absolute Moron will Scream about his secrets on a Rooftop. Maybe, Ms. Schnee's claims about Mr. Arc's intelligence were quite correct). Watching the Conversation between the team CRDL through the hidden camera in their dorm room, Ozpin was already aware of their plans towards Jaune's Partner. He had decided to wait and watch. He and Glynda were watching the team CRDL through the hidden camera of empty classroom ready to intervene at a moment's notice by speaking through the micro-speaker that was attached to the hidden camera inside the wall. What other Professors didn't know was that, This was also a Test for Ms. Nikos to see whether she was Mentally Strong enough to be worthy of the Maiden's Power. But right about the time Ms. Nikos was expected to enter the room, camera suddenly lost its signal. They rushed towards the room. By the time, He along with Glynda entered the room - The Only Thing they saw was the bruised unconscious body of a red-haired girl with disheveled hair and ripped off Beacon uniform lying near a huge Mace, along with four screaming Huntsmen-in-training bleeding from their *cough*Private parts. After Glynda and the Professors had taken everyone to infirmary, the only thing left to do for him was to analyze and adapt. He could see that the other hidden camera installed inside the room by Cardin( The Headmaster was watching his every move), was also broken. Ozpin didn't knew much about technology but On Opening it up Even He could clearly see the Problem - The Circuit Board was cracked into little pieces.

Now a Normal person would clearly come to the obvious conclusion - Pyrrha was attacked by Team CRDL who had nefarious means, the Girl defended herself by any means necessary. But Ozpin wasn't naive, He had lived for thousands of years. He already knew about Ms. Nikos Semblance by watching her Tournament Matches (after living for a thousand years, Analyzing someone's fighting style was instinctive for him.)

He knew that the Smiles of Celebrities and Politicians were just as real as the Santa Claus. But even he never thought that Ms. Nikos was such an experienced manipulator. He wasn't surprised by her Ruthlessness though. Woman were quite vindictive creatures, his own ex-wife was still trying to kill him after all these years (like really Woman, it's been thousands of years. You have already killed me dozens of time. Just get over it.) His Ex-Wife used to be quite a soft-hearted loving Mother towards their daughters, like really, no one could've imagined that she will become the Queen of Grimm and then declare a millennium-long feud against her own husband. Fate really works in mysterious ways.

Oh Well, now onto more important matters: He wasn't going to press charges against Ms. Nikos, not that he wanted to. Team CRDL had made their own choices and suffered for it. Like really, compared to the Absolute Brutality shown by the Ancient Mistralian Women, this was really tame. Ancient Mistral wasn't made for the soft-hearted.

Even if he tried to start a trial against Pyrrha Nikos, no one would believe him(The Evidence was quite small, no one will believe that the Humble, Shy Girl could plan something like this.) The Council of Vale would gladly use this opportunity to throw him out of his office. Every Politician, Every Media Reporter, Every Huntress and Every Parent will make a line to throw rotten tomatoes at him, he wouldn't be surprised if Qrow's Bandit Sister joined in the line as well to get a few of her own shots(She really was a vindictive woman).

No, it's better to just destroy the evidence. Besides there's no point in trying to persecute Pyrrha Nikos. He could have tried to put Ms. Nikos under his own control through the evidence, but given the Ruthlessness shown by Ms. Nikos, it was better to take more of a grandfatherly role. With what has happened, Ms. Nikos can easily destroy his Reputation with a few words. He already knew what the Council was going to do with CRDL. " If you can't SOLVE a problem, then REMOVE the problem.", The Personal Motto of every Wannabe Politician.

In the end, after doing Damage Control for the last 2 days, he was tired. Beacon's Reputation had taken a hit but nothing permanent. The Statement released by Ms. Nikos putting Beacon in a favorable light, also helped a lot. He had visited the Girl along with the Reporters, in the infirmary. Looking at her innocent forgiving face, no one could imagine what sort of Deception Artist lives inside that head. Even he had a hard time believing even after seeing the evidence. It clearly showed how good she was at controlling other people's perception. The Professors knew that the CRDL team wasn't in the condition to walk let alone try to escape police custody. They just believed that CRDL's death was just damage control done by the Council. No one suspected the Smiling girl who was lying in the hospital bed talking excitedly with her Partner and rest of her friends.

After seeing all this, Ozpin could say only one thing- Ms. Nikos was perfect for the maiden's position. Being Naive was a character flaw that got a lot of Good People killed. One needed to be a little devious in nature in order to survive in this world. Pyrrha Nikos may have shown Manipulative Nature but she didn't tried to use her Power to hurt others. Clearly, her main priority were her Friends safety and happiness. He himself was quite good at manipulating others.

The Maiden could only be from Ms. Rose's Batch. By keeping the Silver Eyes and Fall Maiden together, he can keep them better protected. Amber was a good girl but also quite Naive in the ways of the world. She should've have never tried to leave the protection of the Kingdoms. But her desire to help the people outside the Kingdom and her extremely trusting nature resulted in her defeat and almost death. Her intentions were good but in this deceptive world one can never be too careful. No, this time The Fall Maiden will be more knowledgeable towards the inner workings of the world. If isolating the Maiden didn't work, then why not try to keep the Maiden directly In front of Public eye. The Only weaknesses of Pyrrha Nikos was her Mother and her friends. Her Mother can easily go into hiding, never mind the fact that she herself was quite a formidable Huntress. As for her Friends, Young Ruby was a adventure-seeking woman just like her mother. Ruby's teammates will follow her as well to make sure that she was safe. A Huntress with Silver Eyes, Heiress of the Schnee Company, An Extremely Formidable Huntress and the Daughter of the Chieftain of Menagerie. All of these Huntresses didn't get into a single team just by luck, Careful planning and positioning of the launchers was required to achieve this result.

If due to some insane reason, *wink* Ms. Rose and her team was involved in a dangerous and important longterm mission then, Mr. Arc would gladly jump into it as well for her. Ms. Ren and Ms. Valkyrie will gladly follow their 'Fearless Leader' and most importantly Ms. Nikos The Future Fall Maiden will be their to protect her Crush and future love-slave. (He had been informed by Glynda about Ms. Nikos' private activities and also her quite adventurous fantasies. Maybe the stereotypes about Mistralian people were true. ) Ms. Rose and Ms. Arc will try to save everyone, while their teams try to make sure that their self-sacrificing nature didn't lead to an early grave. Ms. Schnee will provide financial support, Ms. Belladonna would provide her infiltration skills and faunus senses and Ms. Xiao-Long will smash everything in sight. ( Meh, Ms. Rose will make sure that her Sister doesn't destroy property...Too much.)

Ms. Ren and Ms. Valkyrie will help them to survive in the woods( A Childhood of Scavenging Food, will teach you a lot of skills). And Most importantly Ms. Nikos will manipulate the public with her Smile and Charm. And Also make sure that they don't suffer the same fate as Amber.

And if Mr. Arc and Ms. Rose somehow end up together *wink* then that's just an happy surprise. Given the fact, That Jaune's father had 8 children, Ozpin was absolutely sure that Mr. Arc and Ms. Rose will create An Army of Silver-eyed Arc Children for him to manipula..*ahem*...motivate towards the Greater Good. And once those Children are grown up, Ozpin would release them all on his Ex-wife all at once and end the threat once and for all.( See Glynda, The Headmaster of Beacon wasn't just goofing around and drinking expensive coffee, he was creating plans to save the world.) *ahem* Yes, the children created by combining the features of Huge Aura of Arc family and Silver Eyes, would be quite strong.

The Only Obstacle in his Master Plan was Ms. Nikos' secret affections towards her dense partner and Mr. Arc's not-secret affections towards the unappreciative Schnee heiress( In his personal opinion, Mr. Arc should focus his attentions towards Ms. Rose but then He would most likely get killed by Ms. Xiao-Long). No problem, Ozpin WILL have his army of Silver-eyed children. Mr. Arc will have to take the responsibility of repopulating the world with Silver-eyed children. He can always manipula...*ahem*... motivate Mr. Arc towards Polygamy. Oh Yes, that's what he was going to do. He will have to find a way to train Mr. Arc so that he doesn't trip and stabs himself with his own sword, that would be counter-productive towards his Master Plan.

Oh yes, Every Random thing was going according to the plan even though Ozpin didn't know what the Plan actually was, he was just making up things along the way. Maybe he can also advise Mr. Arc and Ms. Rose to make sure that their first son's name starts with 'Oz', you know.. for luck *wink*.

And if his Master Plan fails and everything goes off rail, well then he can always jump off a cliff and Start a New life. That was one of the advantages of being body-jumping immortal wizard.

It feels so good when everything goes according to plan. Fate really works in mysterious ways. Ugh... His coffee was getting cold.


I know people must be wondering why Pyrrha didn't see the camera inside her dorm, the thing Is she never concentrated. Ever since coming to Beacon and meeting Jaune, she was in a relaxed mode. But being threatened by Cardin once again sent her back to her training. If you think of any way by which I can improve my story, please review. Your reviews are the fuel for my hands.
