AN: For those wanting to know how damage work for his skills here's an example
Energy Attacks/Magic Skills:
DMG = Amount of energy × skill level × level of control skill ÷ by Enemy vitality × Enemy strength = DMG
Example:
Alduin breathed pooling energy into his mouth.
[Dragon's Breath]!
25,000 Energy × 5 × 50 ÷100 x 100 = 652 DMG
Physical Attacks:
DMG = Strength(and whatever boost the skill gives) × Skill level ÷ Enemy CON = DMG
Alduin goes into his [Ansatsuken] stance and gives a double palm strike to his opponent sending them away.
30 STR × 10 [Ansatsuken] ÷ 50 = 6 DMG

Chapter: 4
{Day 1}-{Monday}
The sound of steel hitting striking each other echoed throughout a clearing. If one were to pay attention they would see two blurs-one black and one white- locked in deep combat. The black blur seemed more ferocious than the white blur causing said blur to quickly lose any advantage which the black blur preyed upon.
Suddenly the white blur crashed into a tree revealing that it was Jaune Arc, apprentice of Alduin, [The Gamer]. He was wearing different clothes than normal. His apparel consisted of a pair of white jeans with a short-sleeved golden yellow shirt with the Arc crest on it but in white. He also had on some golden yellow boots with white lining, a golden necklace with the Arc crest dangling from it and white fingerless gloves. Over his shirt was a white jacket with a golden Arc symbol at the back.
Alduin had gotten him the ensemble after this apprentice mom said he needed new clothes. He had returned with shopping bags full of spares as well as other clothes but all in the same golden yellow and white colour scheme. When asked why he got the specific colour he only answered that it made a contrast to his own.
"Hn. You're still not imaginative enough to beat me Jaune." The black blur said as he stopped in front of the young Arc revealing Alduin in his normal attire. Alduin looked down at him with a harsh glare. He had been 'cranky' (*cough*pissed the fuck off*cough*) ever since the incident. Not that anyone could really blame him. He nearly died.
Getting up the blonde could only grumble "What the hell do you mean by being imaginative?"
"Simple. Use your imagination. You could have countered me with a kick or punch while we were in that clash but you just tried overpowering me which you know wouldn't work. There are a number of things that you could have done in the fight as could have I but I didn't due to them mostly being lethal like seriously the number of times I could have slit your throat or stabbed you in the heart is astounding', so don't set yourself in an obvious pattern or else someone will be able to know how you fight. Outside the walls, where Grimm run wild there will be things that make even the Grimm pale in comparison in a competition of deceptiveness." Alduin said making a cutting motion near his throat at the end to emphasize his point.
"But won't having a style enable proper coordination?" Jaune asked dusting off his clothes.
"Yeah but you can easily have that if you know your way around the weapon you're using. Having your own style is good and all but eventually someone will crack it and know how to beat you no matter how much you try. That's why if you ever get a style then I recommend it be a mixture of many different styles, only then you'll be unpredictable. Now talking's over get up and this time use [Aura Enhancement]." Alduin said as his black Aura surrounded him in a fiery shroud. He really liked [Aura Enhancement].
It made him look like Rouge from that one anime Fairy Tail, so basically like a badass, but while cool it still irked him a little as it showed how little control he had of his own Aura as he's pretty sure he isn't supposed to be glowing.
"Yeah." the blonde said getting into a stance, pointing his sword at Alduin slightly hesitant as his own white Aura surrounded him in a manner similar to Alduin's.
In response Alduin pointed his palm at him, causing Jaune's eyes to widen as a ball of red energy began to form.
"Let's play a game I learned back home. The rules are simple I hit you and you try to dodge. Now...DODGE! [Cero]!" A beam of pure spiritual energy fired at the young Arc who barely managed to dodge it only to be hit by another beam that erupted from the ground pushing him into the air only to be meet the ground again as Alduin jumped into the air and kicked him back down.
[Cero] -Lvl.100/100- [Active] Cost: 10 RP
[Rank: Intermediate]
A skill recreated by [The Gamer] using Reiryoku otherwise known as Spirit energy though the skill has some slight differences from the original. This skill allows the user to shoot a beam of pure reiryoku that due to the technique being altered by the user can either be used by the user themselves or channeled through an object/area. The attack is weaker depending on how far the object it is being channeled through is to the user.
Range: 2 feet per level(AN: For channeling it through an object, ie. the floor or the air(which is way harder)
Current: 600 feet
*For reaching [Beginner] rank you have gained the ability to split your [Cero] mid-air.
**Due to reaching [Intermediate] rank you have gained the ability to shoot [Cero] through objects without touching them. (Ex. The air, thrown objects, etc.) Though to do this the area must be saturated with your energy.
Rolling out of the way Jaune slashed at Alduin who blocked it with his own sword and then kicked the blonde in his face, dazing him.
Not willing to give up though he grabbed Alduin's leg and drew him forward, slamming the pommel of his sword into the young raven haired boy's chest causing the wind to be knocked out of him, Jaune stopped his assault hesitating a moment before he got his wits together.
Following up his earlier attack he slashed at the dazed Alduin's chest before tripping him then swinging his sword down releasing a wave of white energy causing the younger teen to crash into a nearby tree.
"How's that for imaginative?" The blond said cockily.
"[Shunpo] But still not good enough," Alduin said suddenly behind him while also slashing at his back taking a chunk out of his Aura before disappearing and reappearing in front of him to deal a swift uppercut to the chin that caused Jaune to fly into a tree.
[Shunpo] -Lvl. 50/100- [Active]- Cost: 10 RP
[Amateur]
Shunpo also known as 'Flash Step' is a technique recreated by [The Gamer] from the original used by the Shinigami or rather 'Death Gods'. Shunpo (Flash Step) is a movement technique which allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The focal point which determines the basis of this technique is speed. As speed is the main factor of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.
Increases distance in a single step by 5km every level.
Current distance in a single step: 250 km
"Ow..." Jaune groaned out in pain, stuck in the tree trunk.
"You know normally I would say something wise and cryptic like let your body do the action. Let your instincts guide you.' But then I realized that you don't really have any battle-hardened instincts to speak of." The...brunette?..redhead? whatever said as he put his sword back into his [Inventory] before dodging a wave of white energy by disappearing into a faint flash and reappearing beside a now unstuck Jaune holding said blonde's hand with a firm grip before kicking him in the knee then the ribs and finally the chest sending the Arch scion into another tree.
"You see from what I've observed of you Arc is that you have this weird sense of honor. Something which can get you respected..."
Alduin flashed to his location and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck then threw him into another tree finally breaking his Aura.
"...And killed" he finished saying as he pointed a glowing ball of red energy at the blond. He looked into said blonds eyes for a moment seeing fear, determination, and worry.
Sighing Alduin let the ball fade before crouching down beside his older and only student.
"I like and hate that about you Jaune," Alduin said before he put a hand on Jaune's head letting his own Aura flood through the blue-eyed boy, healing him and easing any aches or pains he had. A neat trick he had learned while experimenting in his [ID-Empty] Dungeon.
"What was that for?" the Arc asked as he began to sit up but was pushed back down by Alduin who wasn't done healing him.
"A little lesson for you, your honor causes you to hesitate because you don't like hurting 'innocent' people, it isn't much but it can still get you killed. You have to let go of such insecurities, they will hold you back, dull your blade and weaken your Aura. Remember this Jaune, 'A soul without the will or instinct to survive is nothing but a matchstick waiting to be put out.'" Alduin said removing his hand from Jaune and helping him up.
"Meditate on those words because if you really want to become a legacy your family can be proud of, then you must be willing to sacrifice anything to do so, or have the will and instinct to gain the power you need to do it," he said as he took up Jaune's sword giving it a few test swings then handed it back to his student before leaving.
As Alduin left Jaune alone in the clearing the blond's eyes never left his teacher's back. He knew perfectly why he had hesitated
His fear.
He feared letting Alduin down but also feared that he was going down the wrong path.
Compared to how his father taught his sisters Alduin's training was hell. Which was expected as he had to catch up to people who had years of training, but still?
The point was that compared to his kind mother and father who instilled teachings of honor and always doing the right thing into him and his sisters Alduin instilled a sense of realism. He didn't give a 'good job' nor did he keep telling him that he was getting better when he wasn't, Alduin's style of doing things was light years away from how his mom and dad did things.
The first thing they talked about after the day of the incident was Jaune's hopes and dreams of being a hero that his family would be proud of. Now Jaune (barely knowing Alduin) had expected him to either make fun of him or give him the same false smile and encouragement from his friends and family.
Jaune never expected to be questioned thoroughly on how he hoped to accomplish his dreams when he wanted to do so if he had any idea of how he would go about it and why he even wanted to be a hero. Neither did he expect for Alduin to analytically take every single answer apart and have him trying and failing to pick up the shards of his hopes and dreams as Alduin ripped them apart piece by piece.
To Alduin heroes and villains didn't exist. Good and Bad? Hah! Alduin laughed at that shit. Jaune could still hear his words as if it were yesterday.
'There are no heroes or villains. No good or evil. Just human and Faunus doing what they think they must or what they think is right. Many people fall into the habit of having rather shallow or one-dimensional outlooks on people they see as 'bad', it's the 'that Faunus is evil because of some racist jerks beat him up or killed his family' or 'he was just born a prick'. I could go into the whole Nature vs Nurture thing, but for the sake of my sanity I'm just going to make this clear for you Jaune: you can't be born bad. Take the White Fang. Most of them deserve to die because of some of the stuff they did, do or will do, but does that make them bad for kidnapping children of influential humans or killing said children, because the pride of those humans causes them to do stupid things? Sure from certain standpoints but they didn't start out that way. They were like you, a carefree kid that just wanted to live a happy life. But circumstances caused them to go down that path thinking that if they killed that child than the humans would learn their lesson leading to my other point. People will always find reasons to hurt or kill each other, and they will always think up ways to justify it to themselves and others. This isn't wrong or evil, this is natural. It's just how the world is set. But if you truly want to save such a detestable world then I'll help you just don't expect me to lay down and die for it. If it comes to it 'I will just watch it burn'.
Jaune never thought someone so young could be so...profound. As much as he wanted to deny it, he...he couldn't. It was the truth. He had even looked at the history of the White Fang and how they changed from peaceful protesters of the past to violent terrorists of today. He had looked upon the kind of treatment Faunus received in the past and how they acted back then and he could honestly say that if he were in their shoes he would probably be on the side of the Faunus instead of neutral as he is now.
Alduin had opened his eyes on how the world really was and that had him wondering. Did he really want to become a hero? Did he want to save a world that didn't really want to be saved? To do that he would have to pick a side or one would be picked for him.
"Jaune! Hurry up! Or your mom will be on my ass for leaving you in a Grimm infested forest." Alduin said breaking him out f his inner thoughts.
Blinking Jaune put his sword in his own [Inventory] then ran to catch up to Alduin. As he caught up Alduin narrowed his eyes at him before asking him:
"You were spacing out for a while there. Thinking about what I told you?"
Jaune just nodded not really trusting his voice.
"Good. Just know that I'll be there for you no matter what." He said patting the blond on the back while somehow smiling with his eyes. This made a small smile form on his face. Yeah, he wasn't alone was he?
Even if the world fell. Alduin would always be there.

"55...56...57...58...59...60..61..
I need more strength, more power. I will not die!
"71...72...73...74...75...76...77...7...78...79...80...
No Maiden, No Wizard, No Grimm, No Witch.
"91! 92! 93! 94! 95! 96! 97! 98! 99!...
No Silver-Eyed Warrior and certainly no fucking GOD!
"100!"
Shall kill me! I will slaughter them all. I have decided to save this world but I will NEVER die for it.
My Ki surrounded me in white-hot fire cracking the earth beneath me as I rose from the push-up position.
Kneeling a bit I push off. Jumping high into the air blurring through different points in the air with [Shunpo]. I kept flashing around shadow boxing all the way. Dodging and striking imaginary enemies.
My skills had slowed down. Why? I don't know really. I think it has to do with me not getting 'professional' knowledge and just winging it which may be it. I was basically moving through instinct with my swordsmanship being the exception.
I couldn't buy from the MG Shop as the books on there are too damn expensive though to their credit all the fighting styles on there are overpowered as all hell. Even the books about the basics introduce techniques, tips and the like that would probably level up all my skills a whole lot.
As such I'm left training my current skills until I'm stinking rich. Which isn't as bad as it sounds at first until I hit a wall. I had no one/thing to test them on as most of my combat skills are lethal except for a few and don't even bother mentioning [Annihilation Breath]. Do you want me to kill everything? Well, I could practice my lethal skills in an Empty ID but [Annihilation Breath] literally breaks any ID I do it in. I tried repeatedly but they just shattered from the power and I don't want to test it in a mob ID only for it to possibly work and get me killed when the [Ultimate] skill tires me out.
So here I am with a dilemma. I am not strong enough to fight anything in my IDs at the moment and I ain't bringing Jaune in with me to get slaughtered. My system is overpowered which makes sense that the monsters in my ID are also to match me which means I need some good equipment or some good skills. But where do I-
I stopped to facepalm at my own stupidity. I had resolved to be better than the Gamers I read about in stories yet here I am falling into the same trap.
I CAN MAKE MY OWN DAMN SKILLS!
Some Gamers showed the ability to think up skills and their system would provide for them. Which obviously I can also do since how the hell did I do the [Cero] then? Yeah anyone with eyes can tell you just basically focus your energy out of your body into a ball then unleash it in one direction. It's not fucking ROCKET SCIENCE! MOTHERFUCKER WHY DID I FORGET THAT!
I landed back on the ground in a crouched position and began to concentrate.
*Error! User does not have the required knowledge, stats nor money to create this skill yourself or for the system to do so!*
'Hmm, so that's what it needs. It makes sense. I have to have some knowledge for the skill to work and if I need added knowledge then I can ask the system...for a fee of course. And [Cero] is a relatively simple move so I probably didn't need to pay for added knowledge.'
The skill I just tried making was a portal technique. Maybe something simpler?
I began to concentrate.

You have created skill [Energy Manipulation]! All skills such as [Chakra Control], [Nature Transformation] and etc will come under this skill!

'Hmm, that gives me ideas.'

You have gained natural [Fire] Affinity!
You have gained artificial [Wind] affinity!
You have gained artificial [Earth] Affinity!
You have gained an artificial [Water] Affinity!

Rising I activated the skill [Mana Construct], forming a knife made out of my black mana. With a quick flex of my will, the knife lost its shape and turned into a chain then a small scythe which then grew to my height before I threw it into the air as it melded into a pure black sphere which then flattened and formed a dome.
"This...holy shit this is...fucking awesome hehehehe!" I laughed as I shaped the energy into various shapes.
I had gained the idea from Green Lantern who could make green hard light constructs with his ring. Thanks to my imagination I could fill in any holes in my knowledge thankfully(any I couldn't fix only costed about 500 Lien altogether). With this, I could do a lot of things that would normally be individual skills! Now to test the limits!
Flexing my hand dramatically I shaped the Mana into a sword reminiscent of Excalibur from Fate and slashed at the ground.
It broke like glass.
'As expected. It was too easy to shape it. This skill won't level through making shapes but through improving my constructs durability...and maybe detail.'
I held the rest of the blade in my hands then crushed it feeling as the energy lost it's solid feeling and became like smoke.
'Okay, time to grind. I can practice [ID Create] and [ID Escape] as well as some control techniques and maybe level Meditation. Jaune is exhausted and should be studying plus I already made dinner so they should be okay leaving me with the rest of the afternoon, evening and night! Damn, I might be able to kick veteran Huntsmen asses by the month is over if I keep getting this much free time!'
I felt giddy with energy at the thought as I [Charge Jumped] a good distance away from the large village.
'I wonder though...Can I do this with my other energies?'
~Morning~{5:00 am}
I headed back to Jaune's house happy as Ruby getting a years supply of cookies. My training had brought good results well not stat wise. Those were still in the shitter though I did get a fortunate 15 points in LUK when I got bored and played some games on my scroll. This just made me embarrassed really as I completely forgot my LUK stat until now. I promised myself not to forget it next time as to not end up with shitty LUK like most [Gamers].
My skills, however, had jumped as I trained multiple skills bringing my [Shunpo] to [Beginner] rank gaining the ability to make any kind of turn, drastic or simple, at the drop of a hat. This caused me to recreate [Accel Turn] from the anime Freezing as a {Sub-Skill} to [Shunpo]. This caused me to disappear and reappear behind my opponents back while leaving an afterimage behind to distract them.
Another thing to grow was my constructs. At first, they were pretty fragile but now I can make kunai that are just as durable as the original.
Speaking of weapons I used the last of the money I had gained from chores and what I had from before to make [Weapons Proficiency] as to kind of free up my skill page of all the different weapon skills I had. It's only level 3 right now while the {Sub-Skill: Sword} was [Beginner] In rank. Honestly, me making myself broke kind of reminded myself of those old 'pay-to-win' games back home but I was using it to cheat real life so it was fair.
My dungeon skills were pretty far along now too. I unlocked the [Ghost], [Ursa], [Ogre], [Deathstalker], [Wyvern] and [Nevermore] dungeons which honestly was a little surprising but I didn't mind it as I still didn't think myself ready to even fight Beowolves yet as my last fight with one still gave me phantom pains when I think about how my arrogance had nearly led me to my death.
And I was embarrassed at losing to such fodder. Like seriously the way people killed them off so easily made me feel sorry for the things!
Poor beowolves they only want to rip apart human and Faunus and yet they're treated as fodder. Well, they are fodder but eh you get the idea.
"And where were you the entire night?" a voice asked me as I entered the house.
"Business," I said pointedly ignoring Noir, the twin of Jaune, and a royal pain in my ass. While Alexandria, Jonas, and Jaune welcomed me with open arms though slightly reluctantly in the first twos case the Arc sisters did not like me one bit.
Oh, who was I kidding! They hate my fucking guts!
All for 'stealing' their little brother and giving him 'false hopes'. There were numerous other reasons for them having hate boners for me though I don't know them all.
But really? They're just really fucking spoiled...and stuck up...and annoying...and did I forget to mention arrogant?
Like Violet was cool most of the time but when it came to her brother she was just a demon in sheep's clothing as the rest of them. It was so infuriating sometimes I just want strange the little…
"What kind of 'business'?" she inquired pulling me out of my thoughts of torture.
"My kind of business." I didn't wait for any further questions as I headed towards the kitchen to set up breakfast. I picked up ingredients with black hand shaped construct ignoring her gaze at my back as she followed me.
"Why are you up so early? In fact, why are you here?" Noir was one of the few who owned her own place so she wasn't here every day but she came over a lot. I have a feeling this is a new development.
"I wanted to spend some time with Jaune today," she answered her face turning smug when I glared at her.
"Jaune will be training today. He needs all the training he can get if he's to get into Beacon like he wants to and I can't have him wasting a single moment of it. Maybe after." I said monotone. I wouldn't let her get to me.
"Well that's up to him isn't it?" the bit- no Al don't lose your cool. You're better than that.
It wasn't even her words that got to him. It was just how hypocritical and smug she was. It's his decision huh? Then why are you against him training to become a huntsman? I just wanted to punch her in her smug face so much!
'Please, Gaia give me patience. Give me strength.'
"Yes, it is but if he wants to accomplish his goals he has to realize that he has to sacrifice the time to put in the effort. He can't goof off all the time. He isn't some super prodigy." the like you was left unsaid but it she still noticed it and shut up so I was happy.
Ha! Who was I fooling!? I was ecstatic!
'Finally. Some quiet.' I thought to myself until I heard the noise of running down the stairs.
'I spoke too damn fucking soon!'
Sighing I just continued making breakfast ignoring more questions and responding with simple answers to the ones I bothered to acknowledge.
Once everyone was down and around the table, I floated down the food with more black constructs then sat on a floating black cloud watching.
"What are these?" Jaune asked first.
"A trick I learned while training. It's not that hard to do actually. What is hard though is making them durable." I said throwing a black ball-shaped construct towards him which he caught then crushed when he applied too much pressure. I just threw another one at him which he was more careful with.
"So anyone can learn this?" Alexandria asked me raising her eyebrow in disbelief.
"Yeah. I mean I learned it last night it wasn't that hard." I responded. It's really not that hard. I had managed to make [Aura Construct], [Ki Construct] and the others easily. The only one that was almost too hard to do was Chakra and even then I did make the skill it's just draining as fuck like it took 2000 CP just to make a chain the length of my own body and 1000 CP per minute to maintain. Until I bring it up to an acceptable level I have no way of using any except Aura and Mana practically and even they had there own up and downsides with Aura being hard to shape but really tough to break once I finally made something while Mana was easy to shape but also really fragile.
The others also had there own advantages and disadvantages with my Reiryoku being hard to shape, maintain and fragile. The only one which gave me the least amount of trouble was Ki which was understandable as I rarely ever saw anybody in Dragon Ball having any trouble controlling their power except for Goku and Vegeta when they had to work to get [Perfect Ki Control] so they could attain SSJ Blue but that was God Ki which was only used by literal gods while they were mortals so you could say they were a bit handicapped.
"Wait you learned this last night!?" the Arc matriarch said disbelievingly.
"Yeah wasn't that hard," I said making some kunai shaped [Ki Constructs]. Unlike the ones from my Aura and Mana these were any colour I wanted though they did have a standard white colour if I didn't consciously change them. Right now they were a solid baby blue with a slight white glow.
The kunai floated around my hand before they lost shape and turned into a chain and wrapped itself around my shoulder along with other chains made from my other energies. Thanks to my regen I can train all of these skills to the max while I was doing other stuff. OP? Yes. Please nerf? Hell fucking no!
"I find that hard to believe," Jonas said eyeing the ever wiggling chains around my chest.
"Well, I have no reason to lie. So there." I huffed and whipped my hair like a bratty child while inwardly chuckling. The Arc family laughed as well as I looked towards them with (fake) indignation.
"I'll have you dolts know I am a man of my word! I would never lie for such an uncouth reason!" I sqwuaked with mock arrogance only to have them laugh even more though Jaune's seven sisters seemed to try and hold it in.
"Well if your such a man of culture we guess we won't need to provide you with shelter then will we?" Jonas said smirking.
"Oi! I never said thaaa-" I fell off my floating perch in shock thankfully managing to catch myself.
Hearing chuckles I just sighed.
"Not cool man. Not cool." I said making the floating could slither under me like a snake and lift me up.
"Jokes aside. I am curious about how Jaune's training is going," he stated getting my attention.
"It's okay. He's learning stances and how to use and control his Aura and Semblance well but as you can guess it's hard to bring up his physical ability up to par." I told him.
He got a skeptical look on his face which turned soon sour. He turned to his son but before he could open his mouth Jaune had gotten up.
"Well Al I guess we should hurry and get to training," he said in a rush.
"Oh I already have an idea for that," I said nonchalantly while standing on my cloud construct.
"What do you have in mind?" the Arc matriarch inquired.
"It's simple. Exercise. With the healing capability of Aura, his muscles should be able to build up easier. He'll be able to exercise for long periods of time and with the correct diet he should fill out by the end of the month. If you observed over the past few days Jaune has lost almost all his old baby fat and should start gaining muscle soon." I stated.
Muscles grew strong through the stress of exercise and with Aura Jaune would be able to heal from the stress and provide energy to shape his noodle-like muscles into iron strength. I in fact technically do this with [The Gamer] but at a faster pace. One of the things that held back Gamers that I've read about is their suck ass workout regiments with them doing simple push-ups, lifting weights, running, etc. Which is good and all but with an ability like mine and some of the outrageous training seen in some anime then you would think they'd be a lot better physically.
Well, that and that all of them went the wizard route. I mean magic is FUCKING AWESOME AS FUCK but seriously with this ability, you can become a Jack of all trades Master of all! All you would have to do is put in the work! But NOOO! I wanna play around with magic!
"I don't think biology works that way Alduin," Violet said looking at me skeptically.
"Well I guess I didn't explain it well but just know that due to his Aura your brother will be able to build up his physique a lot easier and should be ready for Beacon's combat application," I said annoyed at my minor screw up.
"Are still aiming for Beacon Jaune? Maybe you shouldn't set your expectations so high." this time it's the oldest of the Arc children Jeanne who spoke.
I just pinched the bridge of my nose at her choice of words and sighed when I saw Jaune slump a little before putting on a fake smile.
"I'm fine Jeanne. With Al's help I'm sure I can pass!" he said with fake enthusiasm. Oh, Gaia why did you have to send me here I have no idea on what to do in these situations, wait….. I was the one who picked it wasn't I?
Shit! Fuck you past me! You should have chosen Dragon Ball! Nothing but pure combat there I wouldn't have to deal with this mushy crap.
"Jaune you know I don't mean-" Yup that's enough.
Flashing over beside Jaune I just grabbed the blond and created an [ID: Empty] causing the rest of the Arc family to fade from our sight as I sighed in relief at escaping that confrontation.
"Let's just get to training," I said before blowing a huge piece of the back wall with a high powered [Cero].
"Yes sir." my pupil said with even less enthusiasm while equipping his battle attire and sword.
"Cheer up maybe later I can-!" My head turned as I suddenly heard a small squelch and saw a small black shadow only for it to blitz and disappear almost like it was never there.
"Um, Al you okay?" Jaune asked.
"You didn't hear that? Or see it?" I asked. I couldn't have just imagined it.
"What are you talking about?" he really didn't see or hear anything. What the heck!
"Nevermind let's just continue," I said summoning my twin wakizashi.
"You sure we could stop-!"
He didn't get to continue as I summoned and sent some kunai [Ki Constructs] at him.
"Rule number 1! : Call me Sensei Al! Rule 2!: Never question Sensei Al!" I shouted slashing at him.
"Wait, Al!"
"Sensei Al! Get it right brat![Cero]!"
"Shit!"
{Line Break brought to you by Chibi Al kicking Chibi Jaune through the screen}
"What an… interesting bunch." a female voice stated her red eyes lighting up in intrigue.
The interloper had only arrived for a few days and had already seemed somewhat knowledgeable in the use of magic. Pocket Dimensions, Constructs, Enhancements, and that weird beam technique that while not magic was similar but with Aura.
And let's not forget that. That wave of pure destruction that had drawn her to observe him further in the first place.
She could practically taste the primal rage and hatred held in the attack and that was just the tip of the iceberg of the negative emotions the interloper kept down with whatever spell he normally used to make himself immune to her mind probes.
And his pure power that while far below her at the moment had grown exponentially in a week even before he had properly awoken it! He would be a valuable piece against her old enemy. Maybe finally kill him once and for all? She would see in time and oh she would see.
Her attention was brought back to the floating tentacle clad Grimm which showed the interloper (Alduin she believed he called himself. How arrogant.) managing to spot her Overseer. Quickly calling it back she smirked. More and more pleasant surprises.
"I look forward to meeting you...interloper." she chuckled. Soon she would get the ultimate pawn to take down that damned wizard.
