Chapter 3: Tutorial Finished! The start of an Adventure!
Finally reaching the Arc household I had Jaune open the door as I walked in and layed Alexandria on the couch taking the time to actually look at the expression on her face. It was sad and regretful.
'Observe' I thought
*Ping!*

Rep. Is worried she killed you + Is sorry she distrusted you- Wants you to give her another chance
Condition: Deep in thought( Will not notice surroundings in this state)
Taking her rapier out of her hand I place it on the coffee table. I won't tell any lies but I am very angry right now but I'm not really angry at the person in front of me. No, while I was mad at her at first while walking here I actually got to think about my situation. I had never really given it much thought, I was too scared but actually having my HP at goddamn 0seemed to have forced me to think about my circumstances.
I'm a 14 soon to be 15 in a month or two and I had fucking died! My future, my hopes, and my dreams! For love of God, I hadn't even thought of my family since I got here! I should feel sad, angry or just...just something! But you know the really sad thing? I can't because of [Gamer's Mind] and I'm too much of a pussy to turn it off. I don't want to feel all those hurtful emotions but if reading sappy fanfiction and my high WIS has done anything is teach me that the longer I keep them locked up the more they'll hurt if for some reason it's disabled.
It's part of why I can't really get mad at Alexandria. For all, she knew I was going to kill her son. And that keeps reminding me of my own Mother. The woman who raised me and loved me even when I acted like a spoiled brat sometimes. It is really true what they say. You don't know what you have until you've lost it.
I don't know what weight names hold in this version of Remnant to cause so much distrust but I couldn't even 1 fuck about it if I tried. So I'm going to go out back turn off [Gamer's Mind] then rage and bawl my eyes out like no tomorrow.
*sigh*
"I need some fresh air so I'm gonna go out back. No matter how much screaming, breaking or explosions you hear don't come out unless I call for you okay?" I said to Jaune as I turned to him as I reach the back door then walk out.
~With Jaune and Alexandria~(3rd POV)
Jaune sighed as Chi walked without even waiting for a response. He looked towards the back door for a few seconds longer but soon turned to his mother when he noticed her shifting in the couch.
"Jaune? Is that you" she said squinting and rubbing her eyes which seemed a little red.
"Yeah, it's me. You okay?" he said soothingly. He might have been a little angry at his mom but he wasn't going to hate her anytime soon.
Jaune was surprised as suddenly she shot up out of her seat and enveloped him in a bone crushing hug.
"Oh, Jaune I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" she cried out but Jaune wasn't having any of this after a hectic day like this.
"Calm down! Alduin isn't dead. He's just-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
*Crash!*
"HU!? YOU MOTHERF***ING S**T STAIN. WHY THE F***-
*Boom!*
- troubled." he finished with a frown wondering what was bothering his new mysterious friend so much. He seemed fine but he also seemed as if he was troubled. It honestly confused the heck out of him.
"Oh thank Oum! When I saw him attack you I was just-just so angry! I didn't know what to do. I thought you died." she said her voice fading into a whisper.
*Boom!*
"YOU KNOW WHAT F*** YOU! AND YOU LITTLE CLIQUES OF A**WIPES! CAN GO F*** EACH OTHER WITH GIANT RUST F***ING SPOONS YOU LITTLE-
*Boom*
"SHUT THE F*** UP!"
"It's okay mom Al said he was angry and I was expecting him to start cussing you out but he just looked at you...then left. Like he just realized something horrifying," he said leading them to the couch to sit down.
They sat there for a few minutes as the sounds of cursing and explosions suddenly stopped. His mother seemed to have calmed down though now she was looking around. Jaune wondered what she was looking for until it clicked.
*BOOM!*
"He's outside. He said unless he calls I shouldn't go out there. And I really agree now that I've heard some of it. " he informed her. She looked at the back exit/entrance for a while until a resolute expression came upon her features and she rose up from her seat.
*BBBBBOOOOOOOMMMM!*
"W-wait he said-" Jaune tried to reason but his mother interrupted him.
"No he said you shouldn't go out there so I'm exempt from that plus this is my house, I can go where ever I want on my own property," she said ready to leave through the back entrance when suddenly...
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!-
*KABOOOOOOOM!*
After hearing that as well as feeling the after shocks they shot out of the back door to see what was happening, worried Alduin had hurt himself in his anger.
~Back with Chi~(While both Arcs were talking)(Chi POV)
Breathing in the fresh air I walk up to one of the trees in the backyard. I would of go to the wall but there's the danger of letting Grimm in if I actually manage to bust it down.
"[Gamer's Mind: OFF]" I commanded as I suddenly received every bit of pent up anger, fear and sadness I ignored ever since coming here and did the only thing I could think of. I raised my head up to the sky...
And I screamed!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
And kick the fucking tree!
Did I mention it was a Mana, Reiryoku, and Aura enhanced kick? WELL, IT FUCKING WAS!
"Why!? Why out of fucking millions of people did Gaia pick ME! I'm just a kid! I know jack shit about fighting a war! Why couldn't you let me go to heaven or I don't know do a good deed and let me F***ING LIVE!" I cried out as I punched the tree and caused one of the thick branches to fly into some potted plants close by with a resounding
*CRASH*
I could feel tears run down my face as I continued to vent my anger and frustration. Crying was never my thing. I didn't normally cry when I was upset or sad I just vented but right now I just couldn't hold it any longer.
"HU!? YOU MOTHERF***ING S**T STAIN. WHY THE F***-
The tree exploded as I unleashed a barrage of enhanced punches at it.
*BOOM!*
-DID YOU HAVE TO PICK ME!" I finished my earlier question ignoring the boom of the explosion of my first meeting the tree as well as numerous notifications which only made me turn to another tree and start punching faster and charge my body with more energy which leads it to the same fate as its late brethren
*BOOM!*
I could feel a warm sensation overtake my whole body like I was going to explode. I just wanted to let everything out.
"YOU KNOW WHAT F*** YOU! AND YOU LITTLE CLIQUES OF A**WIPES! CAN GO F*** EACH OTHER WITH GIANT RUST F***ING SPOONS YOU LITTLE B****!" I said turning to another tree and restarted my venting which ended the same as the last two.
The sensation just got worse which let only to me punching harder until I felt like something crack inside me then suddenly...
*BOOM!*
..all around me was destroyed as an intense aura of power surrounded me. I tried to keep it in but it just exploded further.
*BBBBOOOOOOMMMMMMM!*
I could see multiple auras of energy surrounding my body. Ranging from the normal black of my Mana and Aura to the fiery blue cloak of energy that my mind immediately clued me in on that was Chakra as well as the crimson red of my Reiryoku and the supernatural white aura of power that was my Ki.
*Ping!**Ping!*
All energy unlocked due to intense emotions however due to nature of Awakening a few of your energy are currently in a temporal flux!
Due to your massacring of trees, you have unlocked the title [Nature Killer]! Which ups your damage against woodland spirits and tree monsters by 50%! But also gives you an oppressive aura towards those in tune with nature!
"SHUT THE F*** UP!" I shouted unleashing a massive wave of power causing a deep crater but ended up emptying the rest of my reserves of energy.
I landed on my knees exhausted still bawling my eyes out. I just wanted to say goodbye at least. I-Is that too much to ask for? Why do I have to give up everything just to entertain some mysterious goddess? I've read books about how gods can be just as selfish and horrible as any human being but being the stupidly optimistic kid I was I just listen to everyone else believing the same bullcrap that they were always benevolent and kind. Huh, and I always boasted that I was more mature. What the naive child I was.
I waited for my regen to kick in so I could release a bit more frustration only to see my bars...
...not move?
You have entered the cool down period! You must wait 5 minutes for your Regeneration to kick in! The cool down can only be cut down by 1 minute every 100 levels! However, if you still have energy left your regen will work at its full speed!
Seriously! Now of all times! I'm still angry I need to freaking vent! I'm still pissed about this shit!
You know what makes me angrier? I'm acting just like those emo bitches in fanfiction I've read and shows I've watched. I used to laugh at them! Mock them even! But now I know why they're like that. I've felt some of what they felt but I still don't want to be like them. I want to be better but it's just so fucking hard to accept!
I just sat there for a while my tears all dried up having no more energy to even cry.I-I just wanted to be able to apologize for to my family for what the brat I was and to my friends for being an asshole. But as they say 'You don't know what you have til it's gone'.
Cool down has finished!
Noticing the message I just stare at it. This is my life now. My reality. I'm supposed to save this world. By just being here I've set butterflies in Space/Time continuum. Meaning just by being alive and here I have potentially doomed all of Remnant. So it's up to me to fix my unintentional fuck up. I'm the new Hero of this story. But the question is 'Will I do it?'. I'm no fucking emo so the answer IS yes. But do I have the guts to stand up to the equivalent to the demi-god of Grimm? I honestly don't know...
...But I owe to all the lives I put in danger to have to at least find out.
With all the strength I could muster I got up and ran towards the back wall and using every bit of dexterity I have I manage to run up for a few meters before use [Charged Jump] to jump high enough to where I'm about 100 feet over the air. Showing more dexterity than I had a week ago I landed on the top of the wall separating the Arc household from the forest. Pooling every bit of energy I have in my body I take slip my mask off my face and take a deep breath and shouted towards the sky:
"HEY! GAIA! YOU MAY HAVE SENT ME HERE! GIVEN ME POWER AND ONE OF THE MOST OP ABILITIES KNOWN TO MAN BUT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE JUST OKAY WITH YOU TAKING ME FROM MY HOME AND TAKE OVER MY LIFE LIKE SOME TOY?! FUCK NO! I'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT I'M GOING DO THIS MY WAY! YOU FUCKING HEAR ME YOU SON A BITCH!"
I could feel what could only be described as an invisible force look at me. It felt like all of the universe was bearing down on me testing my worth. I wanted to crumble. To bend down into a ball and whimper like a weak dog but I could-no I wouldn't. I won't bow down to some fucking bimbo goddess!
I could feel all the power that I earlier collected build up ready to be released.
Feeling all my power well up inside I mouth I did the last thing anyone would expect me to do. I roared.
It wasn't the normal animalistic roar that people let out when they're angry. Nah, this was the roar of something powerful.
It was the roar of a monster!
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
And from that roar emerged an ever-increasing beam of darkness. It devoured the sky perfectly mirroring my sadness, rage and resolve.
*Ping!**Ping!*
Due to your out standing resolve you have gained 10 WIS!
You have unlocked an [Ultimate Attack]!
The thing was though that the beam may have been a little too big.
*KABOOOOOOOOM!*
As soon as the beam was gone I began to seems that the recoil from the blast had pushed me off the wall. I tried to right myself in the air but before I could I was wrapped between two slender but strong arms then shifted into a bridal carry with my savior touching my butt. I sighed as I realized who just saved me from looking at her.
"You alright?" I heard Alexandria ask.
"I don't know but I do know that I've calmed down and that you're holding a spot you should not touch" I feel her hair shift as she looked at me before trying to scramble away for touching my butt.
I just sighed.
"Just put me down," I said as she nodded, and begun lowering me so that I could stand on my own.
"Don't worry I was just venting," I said as I gave her a light pat on her shoulder. She feels warm, unnaturally so not just in body but also in soul. I can feel it in my bones. I just try to ignore it as I'm not really in the mood for talking to her right now.
*Pin-
'Not now!'
"Alexandria?" I called to get her attention as I looked towards her. I was tall at for my age which meant I was only an inch or two shorter than her who was at 6.2 ft. while I'm 5.9 moving close to 6 feet.
"Yeah?" she answered with a questioning tone in her voice.
I abruptly punched her in the stomach with a Mana and Aura enhanced fist and since she was off guard it did about 500 damage as well as cause quite an amount of pain. Though all the damage was healed in seconds thanks to her Aura.
"That's for nearly killing me."
"Sorry" she croaked out. While it was healed I suspect that the area I punched her might be a bit tender since our bodies heal differently.
Moving from her I look behind her to see Jaune with his mouth agape as he was looking around the yard. Didn't I tell him not to come out here?
"What are you doing here? I specifically asked you not to come out here." I asked pointedly towards him.
"Uuuh. I was worried. We could hear all the way from the living room. I'm pretty sure all the neighbors could hear you. And what was that last explosion? It sounded BIG but I don't see the sign of one." he said as he came up towards us.
I looked at him wondering if I should say anything now but I was always one for drama so why not?
"I used my [Ultimate Move]!" I said cheerily as I smirked at him as he gained a shocked then excited look.
"Like one those old-time cartoons? Did you shoot a big laser?" he asked giddily.
"*clears throat"
"Yup a really big one! You should have seen it! It was so massive it went on for miles" I said making sure to ignore any more noises from Alexandria to annoy her.
*sigh* I'm right here you know!" she yelled. Oh, come on! I was hoping she'd keep it up longer so I could mess with her! Why did she have to ruin my fun!?
I look towards her to make a funny comment only for her to look away annoyed. These people don't know how to have fun do they?
*Woosh!*
I felt a strong breeze passed by my face causing me to try and wipe dust out of my eye that was blown into the air by the sudden breeze. I wipe my hand down my face until it reaches my chin. I feel as if I forgot something until I realize that I can feel my metal plated hand on my bare skin.
Oh, my mask was off. Putting it on I just rolled my eyes as it seems Alexandria noticed and started cursing about not getting to see my face.
"Didn't you see it when you caught me?" I asked her only for her to look down to the ground in annoyance while kicking dirt.
"I wasn't concentrating on your face so I forgot." she mumbled out causing me to roll my eyes again. She's so childish when not in a serious situation. It honestly gets on my nerves sometimes.
~Scene Change~Jaune's Room~(Chi's POV)
After getting Alexandria to stop trying to pull down my mask every few seconds I followed Jaune to his room so that I could review my skills and stats.
Jaune's room like any male teenager -scratch that any teenager that wasn't rich- was a mess. It wasn't that bad. It was organized well if you would call socks and underwear all over the place except the floor organized. At least none of it was on the floor right?
"Sorry about you know...nearly killing you with my [Cero]." I said as I sat down on the floor by the bed with Jaune in front of me. We sit in silence for a while before it gets uncomfortable and I call up my menu to check for any new skills.

After that was the combo I made in our spar but instead of a written description, it had a video of me doing it against a bland looking training doll. From afar it looked awesome as there was a special effect of a black shadowy aura around my feet when I in the video did the combo. Did I have the same special effect? Well, I do now after I went to the [Optins] menu and turned it on. Now anytime I attack there will be a black shadowy effect with combos being a black shadow with a red outline. Luckily I could turn them off and on at will if I wanted.
There was another special effect that I turned on called the [After Image Effect]. This activated anytime I used a combo or technique copied from someone else. The way it goes is that anytime I'm using someone else moves there would be a transparent after image of them behind me following my movements as I did it. Apparently, I could decide if people saw it or not as well, so if someone thought that they could tell what I would do by watching which image was behind well they're in for a surprise.
Another effect changed how it looked when I took something out of my [Inventory]. It was different though as it was customizable. I customized it to make a black magic circle that I would pull the item out of. It had the generic runes but inside the circle would be a blacked out image of what I was pulling out.
The final effect I changed was graphics which I changed to make everything look animated. It was disorienting at first but was easy to get used to as I looked really badass with it on.
Closing the screens I sighed and then got up which caused Jaune to look up at me. I looked around a bit then saw by Jaune's bed was a window leading to the back yard. Looking towards Jaune I nodded towards the window then climbed out it till I was on the roof looking out to the back yard with Jaune following me out.
"What are we doing?" he asked nervously as he tried not to peek over the ledge.
"Don't worry now that you have Aura a drop like that won't kill you especially with your large reserves. At most, it would break a bone. And to answer your question we're gonna roof hop away from the house as training for free movement of our environment plus I've had an idea ever since I read up the rank system for my ability." I said to him mentally checking the distance between houses.
"What is it?" he asked nervously a little shaken by the heights.
"Hunters are warriors with unique weapons as such they have various fighting styles. Even though we progressed fast on sword fighting all those moves are basic, neutral sword stances that anybody could memorize. Plus they have their semblances to help replace any skill they lack meaning even if someone like Ozpin is only an [Adept] in rank he has several boosts from skills, his mastery of [Aura] and of course his semblance. Plus my ability accesses more than one 'world' you could say. Meaning I would have to buy books with superior fighting styles compared to ones in normal stores and online." I said as Jaune gaped in shock at my mini-reveal. I had to be careful. Any 'friendship' I had with Jaune was tentative and newly formed. I couldn't drop that I'm technically a previously dead person brought to life and put into another world which was a cartoon in my world while also being entertainment for a mysterious goddess that is probably the strongest being in existence.
"Now I'm gonna teach you the skill [Charged Jump] which uses your stamina and doesn't cost much. I have it at about..."-I check the skill-" level 10 which allows me to jump at a height of 100 feet." I said changing the subject quickly to rid of any questions that were forming in his head.
I then spend 10 minutes explaining the skill as much as I could to Jaune which improved my [Teaching] skill to level 20 thanks to the teaching I did earlier today and now meaning people learned 40% faster when learning from me.
After a few tries, he managed to get it until something hit me.
"Jaune what's the level of your running skill?" I asked
"Level 20 thanks to our spar. Why?"
Smirking I got in jumping position and said "Race Ya." while shooting off like a comet. Jumping from roof to roof with only a small "hey!" as I accelerated more.
This crazy world is in need of a savior and Gaia appointed me in for the job. A formally normal dude. Let's see if I can do this shit!
