"Speech"

[Semblance]

"Tvs, Radios, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."

(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)

"Mr. Branwen?" I ask.

"Yes, Lucas?"

"I finished my weapon."

"…"

"What?"

I had come to class a little early to tell Professor Branwen about my new weapon.

I reach into my back and pull out a pair of grey and white gauntlets.

"I told you to make those yesterday? How did you make a complete project in that short time?"

"M-my semblance can create several effects, powers, and items... but unlike other things, these are permanent with no further drain."

"…"

"What is your semblance exactly?"

With a small flash, a card appears In my hand. "I have cards that can do several effects... but each has a certain cost so I don't really like to use my semblance at all because it takes a while to recharge..."

I hold out the card to him, causing him to narrow his eyes at it and frown as he takes it and reads over it. "a knife?"

He gives the card back, so I quickly channel energy into it and transform it into the knife and hand it back.

He looks at it questioningly. "Look... I have learned to not question semblances after figuring out what my own was... but this is just an entire new level of weird..."

I shrug. "I finally figured it out about a year ago... and back then that knife would have taken all of my energy... and then I wouldn't be able to use my semblance for eight days..."

"Mn..." He hums. "Well... I guess you can just do whatever the hell you want while the rest of the class works of blueprints, though you still are going to learn how to deconstruct and rebuild that... you can't always rely on your semblance..."

I slowly nod then turn around to walk to my seat.

"Wait, kid, do you have a name for a weapon? It isn't a true weapon unless you do."

I turn around and smile lightly. "Royal Flush."

He smiles briefly. "Ironic."

I look down at the two gauntlets, they are a deep silver color with white ascents around the back of the hand and up my forearm, along the outside of the gauntlet is a long spike that points up my forearm and towards the outside of my elbow, and on the sides of the fist are two small barrels with slots leading up to them that travel along the underside of the gauntlet, on the side is a small slit which I will be using to hold my cards against my skin so I can use them without taking up my hands.

I slowly nod then continue to my desk and sit down.

My semblance had gotten slightly more powerful in my fight with Crystal... I still can obviously gain MP quite a bit of MP if I summon things that cost more than one hundred Mp, but it appears that my gains from my eggy boy have basically been capped off...

After about ten minutes the rest of the class arrives, Crystal is glaring at me from across the room.

"Alright class, today is the day." Qrow grunts as he pins up a couple of blueprints to the whiteboard. "Today you are going to make designs for your weapons... some of you have actually already done this... so you can do whatever, really... you can go to the teacher's lounge and watch a movie if you really want."

Yang stands up and begins making her way to the door so I shrug and follow along with Crystal... who is still glaring at me slightly.

Ah yes... combat class...

"Lucas fight Crystal..."

Oh no... combat class...

The brown haired girl grins viciously as she gets up and walks to the stage.

I slide in several cards into the slots on my gauntlets then stand up.

As I stand across from her she looks briefly down at my hands. "You... already finished your weapon?"

"Yeah."

Her eyes narrow slightly as she raises her hands.

"Begin."

I dash forwards as she frees several stone slabs from the floor.

"Hup!" I jump over the first few as she goes for my legs.

I land with a roll and do a hand stand as my body continues turning forwards, 'lesser power smash' slamming my heel right in Crystal's face.

She stumbles backwards, clutching her nose for a moment as I hop to my feet.

I punch her right in the face as she brings down her hands, causing her to stumble farther with a growl.

'Equip Ice Dust Grenade.'

A small flash radiates from my hand as a spherical object appears.

With a deadpan expression as she lowers her hands again, I push the blue button at the center of the sphere and toss it at her feet.

"Catch."

*BOOM*

A cloud of mist explodes from the grenade, and when it clears, it reveals that Crystal is covered in ice from the waist down.

She grits her teeth and starts to punch at the ice, breaking a considerable chunk of it off, but I walk forwards and the spike along the outside of my gauntlet folds down, a piece splitting off and folding into my hand, allowing me to grasp it with my fingers, leaving me with a long and thin blade that functions sort of like a tonfa.

I point the revealed blade at her throat. "Surrender."

"Lucas wins through immobilization."

I bring my hand back and fold the blade back into the gauntlet.

"You rely on your semblance too much." I frown... then I turn around and walk back to my seat, Crystal takes this time to break out with a snarl.

'I wonder how many times I can pull that off before they wise up and start dodging...'

"Lucas, you have definitely improved over the summer... good job."

I frown lightly. "Egg."

And now that the week is over, I am going to actually spend some time hatching this... this better be damn worth it.

I pet the egg. 'it's getting kind of warm... is that a good sign?'

00:00:30

00:00:29

00:00:28

00:00:27

'it is so DAMN CLOSE! I wonder what it is going to be?'

I stare at the clock.

*C-Crack-Crack*

The egg shatters revealing...

*Pause for dramatic effect*

Another card.

"…"

"That was anticlimactic..." I sigh, my shoulders slumping

I pick up the card that is placed in the middle of slowly disappearing eggshell pieces to reveal...

A red orb with black eyes and a mouth and ear-wings?

"…"

"What the fuck?!"

Jyarimon (500*)

{Dimensional}

Summon Jyarimon, a weak 'Digimon' from the digital world, to help you in combat. (Can Evolve into a better form, in that case, this card gets replaced with its stronger form) (Lasts for 10 Minutes for every 500 Mp channeled into the card)
Evolution Requirements:
Must be summoned for 4 Days total (Can be summoned in increments if you don't have enough Mp to do the full time): 96:00:00 [ ]
You (or Jyarimon) must slay 12 Creeps while this is summoned 0/12 [ ]
You (or Jyarimon) must slay 4 Beowolf Pups while this is summoned 0/4 [ ]

"…"

"Okay?"

I let out a long sigh.

'alright, with my current energy, if I had max I could keep it summoned for around two hours- well, an hour and two thirds- then I would need to recharge for about four days... and to complete the full four-day requirement, I would have to do that- according to my scroll if I did the math right- fifty seven point- no, it would have to be Fifty eight times then...'

'fifty eight times four is two hundred and thirty two... so due to my recharge, it will take nearly a YEAR to actually evolve this freaking thing...'

'Eh... I have like two- three considering this one has just begun- years before I try for Beacon... but the problem is that, 'what if it is still considered a baby after I evolve it'… in which case I need to evolve it AGAIN and probably kill some stronger, harder to find, grimm...'

I let out a small sigh and shake my head. 'ugh... not that I can even summon it right now...'

"I'm going to take a nap..."

Cards Balancing.

A screen appears in front of me, looking nothing like the golden god box I have become familiar with.

'hm?'

'…'

'Quests?'

[Well, I just decided to update the system just a little bit, this way you aren't reliant on me and I can just sort of sit back and relax~]

[ANYWAYS, let's take a quick look at that quest system~]

[Daily Quest] [Weekly Quest] [Monthly Quest] [Yearly Quest]

[Hmm... this screen looks a bit too much like my own...]

[HRNG-]

I watch as two little spikes poke out of the golden box's sides.

{There we go!}

I let out a long sigh and tap on the daily quest button.

[Daily Quest: ]
[Kill 5 Grimm: 0/5] [ ]

[Rewards: 5 Shop Tokens.]

'shop... tokens?'

{Yep!}

Another screen is pulled up.

[Card Shop]

In the bottom corner it reads '0 Shop Tokens'

I can buy card packs, copies of cards I already have, an uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary card 'mystery box', a lot of basic common cards, a serious summons card pack...

Each has a random cost, most singular common cards range from one hundred to two hundred tokens, while card packs are about five hundred... except for Serious Summons... that is ten thousand tokens...

{Btw. I changed how Serious Summons work! Instead of 5 cards, they now only contain 3. can't have you getting TOO powerful JUST yet, now can I?}

I frown slightly.

{And every time you buy one the price increases by 10000 tokens! But I'm still iffy on that, I might make it 5k instead~ I'll have decided by the time you finally purchase it anyways.}

{OH! And I should mention, your quests DON'T refresh unless you want them to (But in that case you get no reward and immediately put them on their cooldown timer) Upon completion, the quest will give you your tokens then grey out for an extended amount of time depending on the type of quest, 24 hours for the 'Daily' quest, 168 hours for the 'weekly', four weeks for monthly- and I think you get what I'm trying to explain...}

"Is the reward the same throughout all of the same tier quests?"

{Nah, some quests will give more than others, and some might even give card packs!, you never know! (But those that give card packs might be on a timer, I still haven't decided on that personally either...)}

I close out the shop then go back to my quests.

[Weekly Quest: ]
[Defeat 10 Humanoids with Melee attacks: 0/10] [ ]

[Rewards: 50 Shop Tokens]

'alright.'

[Monthy Quest: ]
[Destroy 1000 Grimm: 0/1000] [ ]

[Rewards: 500 Shop Tokens]

[Yearly Quest: ]
[Slay 20 Deathstalkers] [ ]

[Rewards: 5000 Shop Tokens]

{One second... I just had an idea!}

I watch as the quest screen in front of me warbles.

{You will no longer get any MP through training!}

"W-What?!"

[Daily Quest: ]
[Slay 5 Grimm: 0/5] [ ]

[Rewards: 5 Shop Tokens. +5 Max MP.]

'…'

All of my quests now give me MP, the number being the same as the amount of shop tokens...

{And for convenience sake, I have upgraded you maximum mana from 5288 to 5300, no need to thank me~}

I let out a long sigh. "Well, I wasn't getting that much from training anyways..."

{Welp! I'm out! More than likely for an extended period of time!}

{Oh wait!}

I watch as the quest screen warbles again, now I have a new tab.

[Special Quests: ]
[You have no Special Quests currently]

{I'll come back to give you special quests when they become relevant... or I decide to upgrade your system again... anyways, ciao!}

I am showered with sparks that harmlessly pelt my aura.

I let out a long sigh.

"THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TURN OUT THIS WAY!"

"Pyu Pyu!" Agrees the small blob on my shoulder as I sprint away from a horde of fifteen beowolves.

It turns around and blows a couple red bubbles behind us that smash into the alpha leading the pack and do literally nothing to it.

"W-WELP I GUESS I HAVE ONE MORE ALL OR NOTHING GAMBIT!"

I slip a card into my gauntlet.

"THE STRONGEST!"

A bright blue flash appears in front of me, suddenly standing there is a girl that is slightly shorter than me, she slowly blinks and watches as we rush past her.

The alpha beowolf smashes its claw into her face and sends her crashing through the trunk of a tree.

I look to the small 'digimon'. "Welp. We're fucked."

Its ears-wing-arms slump. "Pyu Pyu..."

A female voice roars. "EYE AM THE GREATEST!"

Suddenly everything around, us is encased in ice and snow. "Wahaha! You made me mad! Winter time!"

Jyarimon blows out bubbles that float into the snow and ice spikes before they reach us, causing them to quickly melt on contact with the bubbles.

I spot her floating about thirty feet above the ground with a cocky grin, she wipes her nose with her eyes closed. "Ehehe! Another win for meee~"

She opens her eyes and notices me.

"…"

"You! Why aren't you frozen?!"

"…"

"Uhhhhh"

I glance to the digimon on my shoulder.

I glance to the quest tab.

[Quest complete!]

"Magic? Or maybe you missed?"

She crosses her arms over her chest. "W-Well! Even if some things can't be frozen, eye've gotta keep my pride!"

She raises her hands towards me-

"Or maybe you were so strong, you subconsciously held back your power from this spot, so you wouldn't hurt me." I deadpan.

"What does... sobconnsciuslly... mean?"

'oh, she's a fucking dumbass... I can work with this...'

"Without trying?" I supply

"Oh! Yes! Of course! I am so great I subbconsisousley held back! Destroying all the black creatures without harming the human! I'm even greater than I thought!"

"Maybe now that hole lady won't beat me up..." The girl whispers to herself before scoffing into the now misty air. "Not that she could!"

She slowly blinks. "Actually, I don't feel so goo-" *Poof*

She returns to being a card.

I slowly look to my shoulder mounted friend. "Well... that was a thing..."

"Pyu! Pyu!"

I let my shoulder slump. "Was it enough."

The blob shakes its head. "pyu... pyu..."

"Mn..." I hum as I look back to the frozen hellscape in front of me. "Fuck."

Welp, how are all of you doing today? i decided to finish this up a bit and make it so Lucas gets reasonable increases to his semblance instead of 'Oh yeah, that feels about right' increases. what do you think of the new upgrades? i think they are pretty neat... as for Special quests those are more 'Stop Cinder from destroying Vale', 'Protect The Fall Maiden' or 'Single Handedly destroy the white fang with nothing but a spoon'

anyways, see ya!
