Chapter 12 – Normal Life
Atalanta.
Back at Clockwork Academy, Team RAMA was running laps in the indoor track field. The radius of the field was nearly the size of the massive arena the group witnessed the other day. Each member now dawned a white t-shirt, black shorts, and running shoes. All matched, except Ruby, who still wore her red cape. Their supervising professor was now Scathach, who wore her purple spandex and armor. In her right hand, she held a stopwatch. Looking across the track, she saw Medusa taking the lead. The long-haired rider saw the finish line was just half a lap away, ready to take first. However, she saw a flurry of rose petals appear before her. Ruby overtook the lead as she turned the corner, causing Medusa to gasp. The red-hooded girl sprinting with a focused gaze on her ending. She bolted towards the ending line, rose petals acting as her dusty trail.
However, she saw a green flash to her right. Passing her was the lioness faunus, who sprinted past the rose petals. Atalanta glanced back at Ruby with a small smile before passing her completely. She crossed the finish line first, causing Scathach to mesmerize the time. A second later, Ruby passed the shadow lancer as well. A few seconds after that, Medusa passed the finish line.
Scathach then turned to the three with a small smile, "With an Agility of Rank A, you completed one-hundred laps faster than I expected." Scathach said with the three smiling, "It will be the benchmark for future students of a similar rank." She said before seeing Anastasia running, whose face was dripping with sweat as she panted, "She still has twenty more laps to go." The shadow lancer said as the Grand Duchess passed by, "She will be the benchmark for those with Rank C Agility." Scathach then looked back to the other three, "Take this time to rehydrate."
"Yes ma'am," The three students said before walking away.
After they were some distance away, Ruby turned to Atalanta with a smile, "That was amazing, I didn't know we're that fast." She complimented with the lioness faunus slightly blushing.
"Thank you, Ruby," Atalanta responded, "All of us have the same agility rank, but we each ration our stamina differently." She then focused on Ruby, "With your semblance, you can achieve a strong burst of speed." the lioness faunus then had a prideful smile, "But I have trained myself so that nobody could ever beat me in a race."
Medusa took her glasses off as she cleaned the fog off them, "What about that one time with apples. You know, when you-" Medusa was saying, but Atalanta cut her off.
"We don't talk about that," the lioness faunus interrupted, then looked back to Ruby, "The point is, I can give you some advice on when to you should use those burst of speed."
"Thanks," Ruby responded before they heard a ringtone. Looking over to their right and noticed the bench with their personal belongings. Next to Atalanta's bow was her scroll, the source of the noise, "You can answer that, while we get the water." Ruby offered with Atalanta smiling with a nod.
Atalanta walked over to pick up her scroll. In looking at the collar ID, she saw it was Achilles. In answering the scroll, he started talking before she could say hello, "Hey Sis, I have a problem," the young hero informed, "I think something's up with Blake, she hasn't answered my calls."
"Okay, and why are you calling me about this?" Atalanta responded, "Blake and I barely talk to each other, even after the transfer program." She said before sighing, sitting on the bench, "The fact that you and I used to be in a relationship makes things a little awkward." The lioness faunus then looked up as she talked, "Also adding in that Suzuka and I killed her Alter makes things kind of weird as well." She said before a looking gat her scroll, "Why call me and not one of her friends? Or, just call her parents."
"Because I don't know if I am overreacting or not." Achilles responded, "Look, I just need your advice." He said with his tone slightly serious, "I heard rumors about bad stuff happening to faunus lately."
"Oh yeah, I heard about the White Fang Killer," Atlanta asked, her voice slightly nervous, "You're that worried about her?"
"I don't want to worry Blake's friends or her parents to that level." Achilles sighed before he continued, "But I think I should use my chariot to get to Vale as soon as possible." He said with a short pause, "What do you think I should do?"
Atalanta waited a second before responded, "…Go to Vale," She answered, "Even during the program, I didn't get to know Blake as well as I should have." The lioness faunus said before her mind flashed back to the time she watched back leave the table, alone, "But I can tell, she has a habit of doing things her way without realizing she can have others help her." She said as she looked up, the image of the black cat faunus running off into the darkness, "When you run away, that is when you feel most alone in this world." Atalanta did not say a word before having a small, "But hey, if it is just nothing, she might think it's romantic that you did such a thing for her."
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Sis" Achilles responded, "You take care of yourself." He said before hanging up.
Atalanta sighed as she looked at her scroll, "I hope that was the right call." She said to herself, "I'm terrible at dating advice." She then looked over to see Ruby handing her a bottle of water, "Thank you."
"No problem," Ruby said as she sat next to Atalanta. However, she looked at her own water bottle as she talked, "Uh, I was wondering something." She said before her face got a little red, "I need some dating advice." The red hooded girl said with the lioness faunus having a look of confusion. Medusa walked by as she overheard the conversation, "Y-you see, my friend …Rudy…has this boy she thinks she likes."
"Aw," Medusa said as she sat on the bench, "You have a crush on Charlemagne."
"What-I-but-" Ruby jumbled as her face turned redder.
"Ruby, there are only two boys at this school, excluding the professors and your uncle," Atalanta said with a deadpan expression, "Considering one boy already has a scary bond with his mount. It's not hard to figure out who it is you like." She said with Ruby looking down, her face even redder, "Look, why don't you talk with your team about this?"
Ruby looked to Medusa and Atalanta with slight confusion, "I thought I was." She said with her teammates starting to smile, "I never got to have this talk with Yang, Blake, or even Weiss." She said with a slight giggle at the end, "I don't know the first thing about…I don't even know how to describe what I feel." She said before looking up, "I just saw him, and my first thought was…he looks so cool!" Ruby said in a gleeful voice.
"Awww!" Medusa responded, "You're so cute right now!"
Ruby then turned to her with an idea, "So, can you help me?" She asked, "How do I get him to notice me?"
"Uh, I'm not the person to ask on advice about boys," Medusa responded.
"Why?" Ruby asked, "You're pretty like Yang, I'm sure you get hit on all the time."
"Well yes, but Ruby…" Medusa responded, her mind flashing back to a moment of her past. A group of men was ogling her body as she was shopping in the town near Chaldea. However, one of them reached his hand out to grab her body. Before his fingers to make contact, a spike pierced through the back of his palm. He screamed in pain as his friend gasped in horror. Attached to the spike was a chain that Medusa held. Her cold gaze petrified them with fear. The long-haired rider's mind then returned to the present, "…I'm not too fond of it." She said in an almost emotionless voice before taking a long sip of water.
"Oh," Ruby said before she turned to Atalanta, "Well, what about you?" She said with a smile, "You must have more experience than me."
"I took a vow chastity after I broke up with Achilles," Atalanta responded, "Before him, I only went on a single date with another guy."
"Really, who?" Ruby asked.
Suddenly, Atalanta mind went to a boy with blond hair. He wore obnoxious golden armor over some parts of his body. His under attire did not cover the rest of his body, still exposing his abs and inner thighs. His head was tilted back as he had a toothy smile. His green eyes looked down on her, as if he was spit firing a barrage of insults. However, those eyes turned to fear as Atalanta drew her bow and arrow on him. Outside of her mind, the lioness faunus had an irritated expression as she glared off into the distance, "I'd rather forget him entirely." Atalanta said before taking a long sip of her water.
"Okay…" Ruby responded before looking down. She then heard Anastasia walking over, who was panting as she just finished her final lap, "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Tried and thirsty," The grand duchess responded before wiping the sweat off her forehead.
"Oh, here." Ruby said as she offered her own water bottle, "It's okay, I didn't drink mine yet."
Anastasia looked at the water bottle, then at Ruby's genuine smile, "Thank you," The grand duchess said before accepting the water bottle. After quenching her thirst, she looked to her team, "What were you talking about?"
"Ruby needs dating advice," Medusa answered, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes," Anastasia responded.
"You do!?" Ruby replied with the Grand duchess giving her an icy gaze, "I mean, of course, you do. You're really smart, strong, and pretty." The red hooded girl said before the thought crossed her mind, "Wait, it's not Viy, is it?" She said with Anastasia's gaze growing colder by the second.
Atalanta spoke up, taking some of the focus away from Ruby, "Do you have a photo of him?" the lioness faunus asked the Grand duchess.
Anastasia sighed before talking out her scroll. She then pulled up a photo as the three other girls leaned in. The photo was of a young man with a stitched-together black shirt with an oversized collar. His short-disheveled hair was a white and his left ear had two metal piercings. His eyes were light brown with black shading under his eyes, "Uh," Ruby said as looked at the photo, "He looks...tired." She said before noticing Anastasia glaring at her again, "And handsome…I guess."
Anastasia turned her scroll around as he looked at the photo, "His name is Kadoc," She said before smiling, "Despite being so far apart, we still try to find time to talk with one another."
"Aw, that's sweet," Medusa spoke up, "Is that where you went last night?" She asked with Anastasia nodding. The long-haired rider then looked back to Ruby, "I think she would be more helpful for you than either of us." Medusa said with Atalanta nodding in agreement.
"Great!" Ruby said before turning to Anastasia, "Will you help me?"
The Grand Duchess remained emotionless, causing Ruby to slightly worry. However, Anastasia started to smile, "I suppose I can give some guidance." She said with Ruby smiling, "After all, we are a team." She said before the red hooded girl hugged her. Medusa and Atalanta had a glee smile, while Anastasia's face turned back to deadpan.
Penny.
A floor above the track field was the Clockwork gym. Inside was Team MGNP with Archer as acting supervisor. The two professors looked over to see Penny and Mordred at the arm-wrestling bench. They locked right hands, but the Knight of Rebellion struggled to move Penny's even an inch. Conversely, the Atlas android had a smile on her face as looked at her teammate, "Are you sure you want to continue? My strength is considered the highest rank at EX."
"That's unreal!?" Mordred said as she still tried to push, "How are you that strong!?"
"Well, when it was decided that I could come here. I was given several reinforcements to make me on par with those from Apocrypha." Penny answered, "But, some would say they went overboard."
"Oh yeah," Mordred said with a smirk, "Let's put it to the test then!" She said before her red electricity sparked around her right arm. Suddenly, she formed the right gauntlet of her armor and began to apply more pressure. Mordred grinned as Penny's hand was moving.
However, the Knight of Rebellion then noticed the Atlas android's smile remained unchanged. Suddenly, Penny's eyes gleamed green before she effortlessly over Mordred's right arm. She slammed the gauntlet onto the end of the table, the metal frame cracking. The Knight of Rebellion had a look of shock on her face as Penny let go, "Does this mean I win?" She asked with Mordred nodding, her mouth still open, "Delightful, I love this game!" The Atlas android said before turning to Neo, who watched with her irises turning white, "Neo, would you like to try?" She asked with the mute girl shaking her head from side to side, thinking her own body would shatter like glass.
"I think you should wait until I fix the bench before challenging another person," Archer said as he walked over. He looked to see Gray at the bench press, her face red as her cap was snagged between the metal, "The two of you help her." he said before sighing, "I told her she should have taken off that hood before coming here." The red mantel hero said with Mordred and Penny going over to help.
Neo was about to walk over but was stopped by Archer, "You and I need to talk." He said with her looking up at him with half-closed eyes, "Look, I know you worked for Cinder." He whispered making sure the others could not overhear, "She ordered you to kill BB over a year ago." He then glared down at the mute girl, "Now, what are your intentions with Penny?"
Neo did not say a word but took out her scroll. Archer waited as Neo typed a message, then revealed it, "Penny is my teammate," Archer read, "I will not hurt her." he then sighed as she smiled, "Okay, but how can I trust you?" He said with another glare, "How do I know this isn't just part of Cinder's plan?"
Neo typed again, then handed the scroll to Archer, "You can call her." He read before his eyes widened, seeing the contact information under the text. He then saw another message, "She gave me this line in case of emergencies. But I can handle myself now." Archer read as Neo then walked away. Before the red mantel hero could call out to the mute girl, he noticed one more text, "The line only goes through my scroll. Give it back at the end of the day, please." He read noticing a winking emoticon at the end of the message.
Archer sighed as he closed his eyes, "Well, I can see how she worked with Cinder so well before." he then opened then gazing at the number to dial. His right hand moved to make the call, but he stopped himself, "Wait, I need to think about this." He said before pocketing the scroll, "Not now, I'll…I need to think." He said before walking over to the team, who were still trying to free Gray.
Qrow.
In the training arena, Qrow and Bazett looked after the team of the four youngest girls. No sparing, Ilya wore her pink magical girl outfit as her face an opponent of a similar age. However, this magical girl wore a purple magical outfit with a white cape. Her eyes were amber, and hair was a sleek black. In comparison to the Wand Ruby, this new girl dawned her wand of a sapphire color. While Illya flew in the aerial combat, the new girl jumped from platform to platform of a type of Glyph.
"Heh, I didn't know the Schnee's had another sibling," Qrow commented to Bazett, who was keeping records on the combat, "Winter never told me she had littler sister."
"Her name is Miyu Edelfelt," Bazett responded, "While she was born in Atlas, she is not a Schnee." She said before Miyu fired a massive purple laser from her wand, Illya barely dodging out of the way.
"Then how is she crazy strong if she is not from your kingdom?" Qrow asked with a smirk, "And how about her knowing the Schnee's family semblance?"
"Because she trained in Apocrypha, adapting techniques of the Schnees'. What that family marks as hereditary, she has found her own way to master." Bazett responded. "From your niece, you should already know how powerful one can become when placed in the right environment."
Qrow leaned back in his seat, "That sounds like a load of sh-" He was saying until he noticed the other two members of the all-girl teams. One wore a puffy black dress with multiple orange and black bows around her neck and in her hair. Her hair was also a long blond with a beret and parted bangs that exposed her forehead. Her bare legs showed her tiny black dress shoes. Next to her was a girl with a thinner black dress and red dress shoes. Her skin was a while as bone, matching her hair. In her hair was also a black horn and her eyes were a bright red. Qrow stopped his sentence as he scratched the back of his head, "Probably shouldn't curse in front of the little ones." He then glanced at the girl with the horn before looking back to Bazett, "Hey, I don't mean to be rude, but that one girl." He said with his eyes slightly serious, "But why does she look like a Grimm?"
"Lavinia has a rare disease," Bazett responded, "As a baby, she fell into a Grimm spawner and almost drowned in the fluids." She said before speaking under her breath, "Luckily, the type that does not create alters." The magus in a suit the continued normally, "In rescuing her, they discovered her body changing to what it looks like now. Otherwise, her physical health is fine." She said as Qrow looked back at the Lavinia, now noticing her shadow of her bangs covering her eyes. Her expression remained deadpan as if she wasn't trying to feel anything around her, "However, her mental health has been under close observation for her entire life."
"Poor girl." Qrow commented before noting the other girl smiling at Lavinia, causing the girl with the horn to slightly smile back, "At least she has a friend." He said with a small smile forming. He then noticed the X-shaped bandage on the other girl's forehead.
"From the report, Abigail has been her friend for quite some time." Bazett said as she focused on Miyu and Illya sparring, "She is an odd case here, being a class our selection process couldn't fully identify." She said with Miyu gaining the high ground in the fight, "Until further notice, her class is referred to as Foreigner."
"Interesting," Qrow responded while nodding his head. At the same time, he reached into his back pocket to take out a silver flask, "Oh, sorry." He responded before offering her flask, "Want some?"
"This is not the time or place for drinking," Bazett responded with a scowl, "What is with this obsession of doing whatever you feel like?"
"Don't know," Qrow said before moving the flask to his lips, "One of the few things my sister and I have in common." He said before taking a swig of his alcohol. As the container went up, Miyu's wand pointed down. She unleashed a beam of energy that overtook Illya, forcing the magical girl out of bounds. After the smoke cleared, Illya's eyes were spin as Wand Ruby fanned her face with a white cloth. Miyu descended to the center of the arena glaring at Illya with cold eyes.
"How is it you were assigned as our leader?" Miyu said before looking over to the two professors, "I've won the match, correct?"
"Yeah Kid, I'd say you did well." Qrow said as he leaned back in his chair, "But you could probably ask your leader how to fly as she does." He said with Miyu turning her glare to him, "You spawn the next platform too early, it's easy to predict your movements." He said before taking a swig of his flask, "And another thing, -" he was saying until he noticed, Miyu was already walking off the arena, "Hey, I was still giving you advice!"
"I don't need your advice anymore," Miyu responded before not saying a word. Illya awake as she saw Miyu walk away. The sapphire magical girl glanced over to Illya with cold eyes for a second, "I don't need your help." She said to her leader before walking away, moving to the seat on the other side of the arena. Illya had a look of sadness in her eyes as she wanted to speak up, but Miyu was already far away.
"Yikes," Qrow thought to himself, "And I thought Winter's glares were frosty." He said before noticing Bazett still writing, causing him to smirk, "You know, with how serious you take your job, I call equally call you Winter 2 as well." He said with Bazett immediately stopping her writing. She turned to the unlucky huntsman with a cold glare, "See, you have her stare and everything."
"Am I just sequels to you?" Bazett responded.
"Well," Qrow responded with a smirk, "Care to show me something original." He said before standing up, "How about a little brawl. You know, show the kids how the professionals do it."
"Very well," Bazett responded. Illya looked over to see a black aura radiating off the magus in a suit. However, Qrow remained unfazed, "We can start right now."
"Fine by me," Qrow said before walking over to the arena with his opponent. Suddenly, an idea comes to his mind, "You know what, let's make it interesting." He said before the two made it down the stairs to the arena, "How about a little bet?"
"A bet," Bazett said as an idea came to her head, "Very well, if I win, you must stop drinking and smoking for the reminded of this program."
"Oh, that's a double whammy. That means I get to ask two things of you." Qrow said as the two reached the arena, him take the left side to her taking the right, "Okay, but if I win, for the rest of this program," He said before pointing at Bazett, "You have to trade in that suit for a maid outfit," he said before smirking, "With a tiny miniskirt." He said with her glaring as she took out her gloves to put on, "What? This school doesn't have a dress code yet, so it should be fine." The unlucky huntsman said before Bazett cracked her knuckles, "I'll take that as a yes."
In the arena seats, Miyu's sapphire wand hooved near her head, "This man, he is radiating an odd aura." It spoke in a mature woman's voice.
"Sapphire, what do you mean by odd?" Miyu responded.
"It's hard to describe," Wand Sapphire responded, "But, it feels like he is radiating an aura of …bad luck?" she said before turning to her master, "Our best bet is to stay far away from him."
"Understood." Miyu said with a nod, "I didn't care for him anyway."
On the other end of the arena seats, Illya made her way to the stands, sitting next to Abigail. Suddenly, Wand Ruby appeared out of the magical girl's hair, "Oh my, he must be really strong to take her on." The wand said before interlocking its wings as if it was crossing its arms, "That, or he's an idiot."
"Heh," Qrow said as he readied his Harbinger, "Yang and Ruby already told me about her ridiculous strength." He said before focusing on Bazett, "But those kids have a low frame of reference. They may have been to Apocrypha, but I have seen every other kingdom in Remnant." He said before smirking, "With that, who strong can she be?" he said before blinking.
In opening his eyes, Qrow discovered Bazett was now a few feet from his body. Her right arm was already in the middle of delivering a devastating punch. With only instinct at his disposal, Qrow used Harbinger as a shield, the first landing near one of the gears. The force of the punch launched him back a few meters, near the edge of the arena.
"…Eh?" Qrow responded as his hands still vibrated, "That didn't feel like a punch, more like a cannonball was just shot at me." He said before he looked over to Bazett rushing him. The unlucky huntsman readied his sword with a downward slash. However, Bazett block the blade with the back of her right fist, "What are those made out of?"
Bazett the parried Harbinger, putting Qrow in a staggered stance. She delivered three quick body shots before landing a spin left kick to his right side. The unlucky huntsman was flung across the arena, his eyes shut from the pain. However, they shot open as he realized he was soon about to fly out of bounds. At that moment, the gears of Harbinger began to spin. The sword changed shape into a massive scythe. Qrow plunged the blade into the arena floor, slowing down his movements before stopping at the edge. He swung his body forward to land inside the arena, then response with his weapon.
"Oh, their weapons do transform," Abigail commented before noticing a small flash over Qrow's body, "And that must have been their protective aura."
"She broke my aura already!?" Qrow thought as he felt his left side, slightly recoiling in pain, "No, it did more than that. She at least cracked a rib."
"Tell me, have you heard of a man called Marcus Black," Bazett asked.
"Huh?" Qrow responded, "I heard him, but never met the guy. Though he was dead." He said before thinking to himself, "He was a deadly assassin, and I heard his brew tasted like crap." The unlucky huntsman thought before shrugging, "Still would have liked to have tried it for myself though."
"He almost eliminated me on a mission last year." Bazett continued, "Before I could get my revenge, I learned that he died by his own stupidity." She then assumed a fighting stance, "I learned that his technique involved breaking bones to a point they could not heal."
"What's your point?" Qrow responded.
"If I break any more bones," Bazett responded as her body radiated a black aura, "I'm simply testing out a new technique." Bazett then rushed for the unlucky huntsman.
Qrow reposed his scythe as he attempted to slash his opponent. Bazett ducked the blade as she moved in for a right uppercut. He leaned back to dodge but started to fall over the edge. As the unlucky realized he was about to fall off, Bazett tried for a right elbow to his chest.
At that moment, Bazett saw Qrow's body vanish. She quickly realized she was now heading out of bounds. Instantly, she stopped her moment, causing a shockwave to pass over the area. The magus in the suit looked around for her opponent. Suddenly, she noticed a black feather fall in front of her face. She then looked up to see Qrow in mid-swing of a horizontal slash with his Harbinger.
Bazett blocked with her fists as Qrow moved on the offensive. She jumped away from the edge of the arena, but he followed her. The unlucky huntsman continued his assault with a flurry of scythe slashes. The magus in a suit gritted her teeth at the inability to gain ground on the fight. Qrow went for a heavy overhead slash, but Bazett held her arms up ready to catch the blade. However, the gears began to turn, his scythe then changed back into its sword form. The blade now passed by Bazett's hands as he went in for a stab to her abdomen. He pierced the suit and skin, causing Bazett's eyes widened.
Qrow smirked until his face contorted. While Bazett was unable to catch the blade, she was able to change her grab to a right hook. Her fist collided with the left side of his jaw, launching him to the other side of the arena. He landed out of bounds, his body slamming into the floor. His body twitched as his jaw hung open.
"Ouch!" Wand Ruby and Illya said, "That looked like it hurt."
"Aaaa…" Qrow responded as laid there.
Bazett looked at her wound before turning to the students, "Class is dismissed, you may go now."
"Yes Ma'am," The students responded before quickly exiting the arena, slight fear in there voice.
After they left, Bazett walked over to Qrow's body, "It's rather unlucky," She said before jumping down, "You're the second man from the other kingdoms to catch me off guard." She said before glaring at his Harbinger, "I thought the blade was poisoned. I might have overreacted."
"Ish oshay," Qrow at up as he spoke, his mouth unable to close, "I'msh shorry forsh-" suddenly, Bazett knelt to his level. She had one hand on the top of his head, the other on his jaw. In one thrust, she lined up the mouth with a loud crack, "OW!" he said before realizing his jaw was fixed, "Thanks," he said after she took his hands off him, "I'm sorry for how I acted."
"Apology accepted," She said before glaring, "But honor your end of the deal."
"Yeah, yeah." Qrow groaned as he used Harbinger to help him get up, "I'll quit for a few months. That's doable." He holstered his weapon before placing his hands in his pockets, noticing the students left, "Oh, those girls left. I wanted to talk to one of them?"
"They don't have any more classes for today," Bazett responded, "You should be able to find them easy enough." She said with him giving her a single nod, then walked away, "Oh, and one more thing." Bazett called with him turning back, him turning around, "If I find that you are sneaking alcohol or cigarettes." The magus with a suit said before extending her right hand, "Next time, I'll knock your jaw completely off."
Qrow noticed the black aura radiating off her body, causing him to sigh. He took out his flask and tossed it to her. Bazett caught it, causing him to speak, "Just don't lose that, it was a gift from a friend." He said while turning around, walking away. Bazett looked at the sliver flask and noticed engraving on the bottom.
"To the world's unluckiest man, but the bestist friend I could ever ask for!" – Summer Rose
"Summer Rose?" Bazett said to herself before the image of the red-hooded huntress came to her mind. She then closed her eyes before pocketing the flask, then walked the opposite direction to her exit.
AN: There you go, a lot of nice little cameos this chapter. (To also clarify, that was Jason, not Gil, whom Atalanta was talking about). The one I really liked was stating that Anastasia and Kadoc are a couple in this continuity, because those two are the best part of Lost Beat for me. We also get the rest of team Prisma Zwei here. Miyu, who was one of the characters I cut from Fates Collide, is here with Sapphire as the other AI weapon. Abigail and Lavinia are the remaining two, one of them having a very familiar origin story here. And we get to see Qrow verse Bazett, which was fun to show the back and forth of the two. Next chapter should see Qrow having a very fun conversation. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
