(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
I let out a long breath and grip the handle of the sword that had fallen from the sky. "Let's begin, Shall we?"
I try to pull it out but fail after the first try, then cause it to lift about half way out, then by the third tug I fully pull it out of the hole it made and use my other hand to brush any remaining dirt off the side of the blade, my physical contact with the blade causing it to spew a couple thin wisps of shadow along the blade.
"…"
Everyone is just staring at me.
"What?" I ask as I slip my hand back into my pocket to draw a couple more cards. "You all didn't think I was some sort of human abomination who could physically never get a semblance, right? Because that's dumb."
"Begin." Qrow sighs as he puts up the forcefield.
'Sharpen, Sharpen, Sharpen.'
The blade gleams lightly in the sunlight as the door to a large cage is opened, revealing four beowolves, three lesser and one regular.
I toss my training sword that I had taken from the rack of weapons earlier to Yang. "Throw this."
She catches it wordlessly and grins, spinning in place and hurling it like a spear.
The beowolves rush out- the first getting impaled by a flung sword that causes it to stumble, falling forwards, the ground shoves the blade deeper into its chest and it gets trampled by its allies.
Emi slowly raises a mace in preparation as the two smaller beowolves dash forwards, Yang takes a single step forwards and uppercuts one with her steel gauntlets, actually causing its head to rip off violently and soar into the air.
Emi hits the second lesser beowolf's cheek and causes its head to snap to the right as I duck past them both and slash the blade through its midsection, actually cutting it in half.
Yang instantly dashes for the last beowolf, Emi and myself following shortly behind.
She punches it in the stomach, but it goes to slash at her with one of its arms, so I quickly slide to a stop beside her and block the blow with the side of my blade, Emi following my lead and swinging her mace like a baseball bat at its other hand which was reaching out towards Yang as well.
I spin and slash at its legs, cutting a deep gouge in one as Yang leaps over me and slams both fists on the top of the grimm's head, making it fall towards me as I raise my blade to it and impale it through the throat.
The grimm falls to its knees as I hold the blade in one hand and take a step to the side, releasing it to allow Emi to hit the pommel of the sword with her mace, sending the blade up the hand guard in the grimm's throat, the force actually causing it to sort of 'balance out' and stand straighter, only for a second impact to hit the pommel of the sword as her semblance activates, sending the beast tumbling backwards where it lays in a semi-seated position as the tip of the sword pokes into the dirt, large amounts of smoke pouring from the wound on its neck, signifying that it is dead.
"Wow." I deadpan as I breathe a little heavily. "That was freaking cool..."
"We were totally in sync!" Yang exclaims "They have to give us extra points now! We didn't even get scratched by one of the beowolves and took them out in mere seconds!"
"Y-yeah..." Emi quietly mutters.
We turn around to see the ENTIRE class looking at us with a dumbfounded expression on their faces, Even our teachers looking a little confused at the teamwork we just displayed seeing as we haven't even faught each other this school year.
I turn around and walk up to the beowolf and grip the sword and tear it out of its rapidly decaying body.
"I didn't know you had such a strong semblance." Yang says as she walks up to me.
"It takes a while to recharge but it stays a while." I state.
Taiyang sighs. "Well, it is clear who will be fighting the bonus challenge, you three preformed expertly in teamwork, strategy, and time... none of you took any damage as well."
Yang grins and her fists shake in excitement as she looks to the only cage that hasn't been opened.
We each take a couple steps back so we are more-or-less in our starting positions.
"Begin."
The cage begins to open- but it is suddenly slammed open as a large bear rips through the hinges of the opening door, it is about seven feet tall, covered in black fur and has a long mask that covers its face.
"An Ursa Minor?" I ask.
It roars loudly and charges for us.
"LET'S DO THIS!" Yang shouts as she charges forwards.
We follow shortly after Yang- she gets hit by one of the paws and is sent skidding towards the side, the bear following her with its eyes as she gets up and tries to run at it again... only to get swatted again.
Yang grins as she gets up a third time.
The bear seems preoccupied with Yang at the moment so I leap up and grab the blade in both hands as I clutch a small card in between my fingers. 'lesser power smash.'
The bear turns its head, but it is too late, I slam the blade down on its neck, hard, but I only chop half-way through it.
'w-what? Even with three sharpens and a power smash it only went half way?!'
The bear swipes at me, knocking me away from my blade that is thoroughly stuck and begins to charge me, but gets a mace to one of its legs that causes it to look to Emi.
Yang dashes forwards and punches it in the side, the blow actually briefly lifting half of its body before it regains balance and growls at Yang, but overall the blow didn't seem to bother it that much.
"Yang! Hit the blade!" I call out as Emi, seemingly having the same idea as me, hits the pommel of the blade once more, causing it to slide through the grimm's neck much like a hammer hitting a stake, the pain quickly causing the grimm to look over to where Emi hit it, opening up the blade for Yang to strike.
Yang's eyes trail down to the blade that is stuck out of the grimm's neck and a smirk forms on her lips as she laces her fingers together, her eyes flashing a blood red. "EAT THIS!"
She slams both gauntleted hands on the blade causing the sword to cut through the remaining half of the neck with a spin, the blade flipping over her head, where it lands stabbed in the dirt behind her, the Ursa's headless form falling prone, waves of smoke bellowing from the wound.
I let out a long sigh, pick up my sword, and walk back to the group with Yang and Emi.
"Now, aren't we awesome?" Yang smirks. "I win by the way, Crystal."
Crystal just snorts. "You got lucky that he unlocked his semblance."
I simply yawn at her.
"Well," Qrow begins. "You all did fairly okay for your first real combat scenarios... good job."
[Well well well, you actually did a chant Hmm? Alright, you wanted that dimensional card so bad, here have one.]
'Wait- REALLY?!'
[Yeah.]
A card appears in my hands and it is a... fucking egg?
It is a white egg with red wavy horizontal stripes in random spots around the egg.
"Wh-"
Egg (100*)
{Dimensional}
Will hatch after being summoned for 48 hours, Time Remaining: 48:00:00 (Costs 100 Mp for every Minute Summoned) (Returns to your deck as soon as you run out of energy) (Transforms into a different card when 'hatched')
[*Snrk-* Good luck making it useful though! You can only keep it out for eleven minutes before you have to wait nearly SIX days!]
'…'
'I'm not dignifying this with a response... but I am going to say: 'Six days? Didn't I normally have to wait eight days'?'
[When you got to 1000 Mp your recharge rate was reduced to 1% every hour and 30 minutes, so the time to go from 0 to full has gone down by 25%]
'Why an egg though?!'
[because I want you to be annoyed!]
'how is this powerful?!'
[oh, no, it totally is, it is *Dimensional Quality* after all, you just need to hatch it... and get it through its baby stages... then it becomes fairly okay as a child, but when it reaches adulthood, you have a weapon of the apocalypse right there.]
'but... how long will that take?!'
[Dunno... you might be able to hatch it before you turn seventeen if you put all your efforts into it~ or, when you get enough mp to decrease your recharge time once more, and just power level it in like three months~]
'then, how much mp do I need to decrease it again?'
[That would be telling!]
'…'
[Now, you have a choice about what card packs I am going to give you! Pick two: Totemic Terror, Weapons of the World, Tactical Techniques, Grimm Darkness, or Serious Summoning.]
'uh- what?'
[Here is the rundown, Totemic Terror gives you cards related to Totems, Weapons of the World give you weapons, Tactical Techniques gives you special Techniques like Power Smash and Aura Blast, Grimm Darkness gives you things related to grimm, like a ring that temporarily makes you invisible to lesser grimm, the Grim Blade, or just the ability to summon like an allied beowolf, and Serious Summoning just allows you to summon things like your Mana Hawk... personally, it would be better for you to pick something that you already have a couple cards in because some cards might synergize well.]
'hmm... I already have two totems... so I want one Totemic Terror and... one...'
'actually, just give me two Totemic Terror...'
[Alrighty!]
Two card packs appear in my hands, the image of a mangled and twisted totem on it, looking like it has at least twelve different animals fused into it.
[Enjoy your cards! And normally, I would have only given you one, but that finisher against the beowolf was worth a card pack in and of itself, so you got two! Bye!]
Then the box does what it normally does and disappears into golden dust.
'…'
I silently tear open on of the packs, revealing five cards.
The first, is a second hawk totem, but the second, is a new totem entirely.
It looks to be a three-segmented totem with a head on the top, two paws on the middle, and two paws on the bottom, making it look like a bear standing on its hind legs.
Totem of the Bear (500)
{Uncommon}
Makes your allies' melee deal an additional 20% more damage and makes you just 20% stronger if you are within 100 feet. (Lasts for 10 minutes or until destroyed)
The next has a picture of a small totem with leather wrapped around a part that gets smaller.
Totem Club (400*)
{Common}
Inflicts a 'Hex' on your opponent's making their moves and attacks 5% slower for 30 seconds (Additional strikes within this time do not stack) (Club deals more damage and increases the hex percentage for every other totem you have active, each additional totem makes the hexed target lose 5% more speed) (Lasts 5 minutes for every 400 Mp used when summoning the card... or until broken.)
The next looks to be a spellcaster raising his hands towards several totems, one glowing more brightly than the other and has a white aura around it.
Strengthen Totem (200)
{Common}
Increases the effects of one of your totems by a static 5% and makes the totem 30% more durable.
The final card has a picture of a totem detonating as an enemy strikes it.
Totemic Detonation (600)
{Common}
Causes a totem of your choice to explode in a brilliant storm of elemental fury as it is broken, causing anything within 10 feet to take damage.
Then I move onto the second pack.
The first card is a totem with a large circular shape, it has a small head and a large shelled body
Totem of the Turtle (1000)
{Uncommon}
Creates durable, weightless shield of force around your dominant hand, allowing you to block some attacks without losing aura. (Lasts for 10 minutes or until destroyed)
I get another copy of 'Strengthen Totem', but the next card has a picture of several totems shooting balls of fire from their 'animal faces' in random directions and black outlines.
Elemental Disaster (100)
{Common}
Causes all active totems to shoot a ball of fire at a random nearby enemy.
The next one appears to have the image of the card packs, the one where several totems are twisting and fusing together.
Totem Golem (2500*)
{Epic}
Fuses all of your active totems into a golem, allowing it to animate and fight your enemies with you. (Requires at least 3 totems of Uncommon Quality or greater active to play this card) While the totem is in a golem form, the range of its totemic aura is increased to 1000 feet, and it gains all the effects of the totems that take part of it, increasing their effects by 10% for each totem in the fusion, additionally, cards that affect totems like 'Totemic Detonation, Strengthen Totem, and elemental Disaster have their affects multiplied by 3, If Totem Golem is used with 'Cursed Ground' the affect instead targets all enemies within 10 feet of the totem golem. (Lasts for 1 minute for every 2500 Mp used or until broken)
"HOLY-"
I silence myself as I re-read the card. 'this is... so powerful!'
'so, with just three totems, I can increase the range to one THOUSAND feet, and increase my aura, strength, and speed by FIFTY percent?! Assuming I am using the hawk, bear, and boar totems that is... not to mention I can increase it by ANOTHER thirty percent with my two 'Strengthen Totem' cards, also increasing its durability by one hundred and eighty percent... '
'is... this the power of an 'Epic' card?'
"…"
'if so... how powerful is a damn dimensional card supposed to be?'
The final card is just another copy of Elemental Disaster.
I let out a sigh. 'Status'
Lucas Vermilion
106/1150 Mp
"Huh, neat... my earlier fight increased my abilities this much... though I so suppose I wasted upwards of eleven thousand mp."
"Egg."
I fling a card forwards and summon an egg on my bed.
'hm... it is about the size of my head... I wonder what is in it?'
"At least it is the weekend." I mutter as I sit down beside it. "That allows me to regenerate about a third of my semblance..."
I look to the egg once more. "Hatching you is going to be a massive pain in my ass... I hope it is worth it."
The next week, everything settled back to the regular grind, now with the additions of Yang casting a curious glance at me every now and then, probably wondering why I am not using my semblance in combat class... and after about four months of no real improvement, the year ended and summer began, and I am fairly sure everyone forgot about me once more... at least being ignored is better than being laughed at... and all that time, I have been trying to hatch my fucking egg...
Egg (100*)
{Dimensional}
Will hatch after being summoned for 48 hours, Time Remaining: 32:06:00 (Costs 100 Mp for every Minute Summoned) (Returns to your deck as soon as you run out of energy) (Transforms into a different card when 'hatched')
I am indeed making loads of progress... and the fact that the egg drains my mp COMPLETELY whenever I use it, it has been RAPIDLY increasing my maximum mp.
I am going to hatch this damn egg if it is the last thing I do.
At least now that it is summer, I can focus completely on training and on *EGG*
And at the rate I am growing, it is safe to assume that I am going to hatch it before Christmas in roughly seven months.
"I wonder if the spooky multiverse deity is going to get me anything for my birthday." I mumble with a small head tilt. "Ah, well, it's still about half a year away... I'll worry about that when it does or doesn't happen."
It is the first day of school once more, the past seventy or so days of nonstop training has really affected my energy, though, just training my body seems to be losing its effectiveness.
That egg is nearly hatched though... just one more hour... and it will be hatched, I plan to finish it up once I get home, but I might do it on the weekend depending on how today goes...
Lucas Vermilion
5285/5285 Mp
My Mp regeneration also increased to one percent every hour, so now I can go from zero to full in about four days...
I sit in the back of the class once more as professor Branwen walks in the room.
"…"
'why is he teaching us again?'
"mn." He grunts as he sits down in his desk. "Welcome class, I know it is the first day, but we are going to do a small tournament to decide your rankings... but, since we have an awkward number of students, those of you who are ranked fourteen to twenty-one are going to have a couple mock battles to decide which four gets to join the actual tournament... Luckily, one of the higher ranks are absent, so we have an even amount of students."
'it looks like the egg is going to be hatched on the weekend...'
'shit.'
here, have this, i'm going to disappear into the mist once more.

Me: internally dying/ contemplating about figureing out how to make a pocket dimension to burn it down/ preparing for the end of the world/ whyyyyyyyyy... It even sounds weirdddddd
Wait... If a blade made of Grimm does damage to people's aura... Would that mean using a person against Grimm is effective?! *Ties person to wood beam with gag in mouth* HEHEHEHEHE! This comment reminds me of some zombie game I played once, where u could pick up this evil midgit leprechaun man and use him as a weapon..."
.
Pfft, the mystic textbox wanted an edgy chant, he got an edgy chant.
it isn't a blade of 'Grimm' it is a Grim Blade, notice the one M vs two M, it is just an edgy blade for an edgy boi.
.
Middernacht: "crow is gonna be suspicious ~ )
this is gonna be great!
I forgot to ask is Lucas a shota ? or is he normal sized or 6ft tall?
and can you give us some facial features I am currently going off his family name vermillion and have him be a shota with black and blond hair to relate with mavis vermillion and zeref for the blade of darkness card.
anything else I have is redundant but this was a great chapter can't wait for it to be confirmed shota then Yang can teas him with her height and her *cough* dobonhonkeros. imagine blake wants him because they discover he's the son of flakes favourite author (potential omake) or yang has secretly been beating up lucas's bully's without him knowing and is secretly a yandere(plz omake)
have a great summer break if you are enjoying while I'm going to be doing chef lessons and suffer.
P.S My name is actually Lucas! D"
.
Prolly not, he is just a wee bit drunk currently and is going to take everything he sees with a grain of salt.
he is the average height for a... 13? i think it was 13... maybe 14 year old... no it was definitely 14... and he is just sort of average... maybe a bit on the thin side because he normally didn't train.
he is just a simple white haired boy with blue eyes... didn't i go over that in the first chapter? i swore i did?
for the omake sugguestions... i dont really know if i want to do omakes for this... dunno, might see how it plays out~
i'll have you know, i am always suffering.
and that's pretty cool!
im super fucking tired
