Hello! I'm starting to write again since I took a 'break' recently even though it was less a break and more a forced removal from my keyboard. So, I haven't been able to write anything for a few days but Imma get back at it like a crack addict later today, so hopefully I'll either continue the ongoing story or I'll start the rewrite, but honestly I don't know which one. I guess I'll find that out later!
Chapter 18: Glynda Goodwitch
The duo continued looting Dungeons and Nova absorbed every Grimm that they came across except for the Dungeon Masters which Byakko dealt with easily. As they were finishing up another of the Industrial Dungeons, they exited the portal to see the sun beginning to rise over the horizon, meaning that it was time to wrap up that night's activities.
With that in mind, they made their way up through the streets of Vale and traveled silently back to the temporary dorm rooms where Nix and Neyah were cuddled up with his Aura. On his way back, he began to reflect on the night's events. "It seems that Byakko has reached her plateau, even after all the boss kills, she got she didn't get a single level. I guess we really do need to focus skills and equipment to increase our strength unless we find some much stronger Dungeons, but that's an objective for another time. Tonight, we managed to get a handful of Ursa Minor masks, some Augmented Currency mostly bronze, and a few powdered Dust vials, but those aren't really that useful in the long run. The by far the biggest success of the night was the progress on hatching this egg! It's almost a quarter finished already! We got lucky with this Dungeon type, because of the number of low-level Grimm that litter the halls I am able to absorb so much more Grimm than usual. If I had to approximate how many absorptions it takes to hatch this Beast Egg, I would guess somewhere around 1,000 which is a fuck ton, but progress is running smoothly. By the time we finish with the Industrial district, this pinkish white egg should be able to hatch."
He sat on that thought for a moment before continuing his reflection, "I wasn't able to start making the things that I wanted to, but that's not a real issue because I can just do it whenever I have free time. All in all, tonight was successful! I just need to make sure I start making this equipment sooner rather than later."
When he exited from his thoughts, he was already back at the room with Byakko still cuddled in his arms. He silently teleported into the room to avoid making any unnecessary noises, and he watched as his lovers slept quietly hugging onto his body double. "I wonder what else I can do with this thing. Maybe I can control it remotely and it'll just attack with my base abilities or something." He placed the idea into the back of his mind as he used Devil's Step again to teleport himself inside his Aura, reconnecting them once again with Nix and Neyah none the wiser.
As soon as he laid back on the bed into his Aura double, he felt his skin instantly re-absorb his Aura and surprisingly 100% of it returned. That meant that even though the skill cost him all of his Aura to use it, he got 100% of it back when he canceled it which was kind of OP. It only took a moment for the girls to begin waking up yet again. They rustled, rubbed, and nibbled, similarly to the morning before, as they slowly gained consciousness. They woke with a smile and gave him many small kisses all across his chest and face, with Nix whispering "good morning, Baby" softly into his ear all the while.
Neyah did the same albeit she chose to nibble on his ear as she spoke. After the showing of affection, Nix and Neyah quickly completed their morning routines and they exited the room to begin their day. They took the elevator down into the restaurant like cafeteria, and they sat in the same booth as the day before. They quickly got their breakfast and started to discus the days activities as they ate. Nova began the conversation asking, "so when does your pool start today?"
Nix perked up at the question, replying with "it begins in about two hours. However, I still have to register my weapons and other equipment beforehand so I will need to get to the Arena earlier than that. What do you two plans on doing in the meantime?"
"Well, I have no issue with waiting for your matches to start so I'll probably just chill in the arena. Unless Neyah wants to do something else." Nova said as he turned to Neyah.
"Nah I aint got shit planned. Waiting is fine with me."
As she spoke, a light bulb suddenly went off in Nix's head, "Actually, you can just come with me to register your equipment as well. If you, do it now you won't have to before your matches."
"Then I'll just do that then, as long as Darling is fine with being left alone in the stands for a while."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me" he said while chuckling.
The group finished up enjoying their breakfast and then made their way back to the massive Battle Arena where Nix's matches would be taking place. As they walked into the large building, a receptionist that Nova recognized from the day before greeted them nicely, even though Nova could tell that she looked a bit nervous for some reason. "Welcome to the Battle Arena! Is there anything I can do to assist you all this morning?" The group turned to the nice lady and gave her a warm smile in response to her greeting.
Nix chose this opportunity to utilize the receptionist's assistance, "Uhm yes actually, me and my sister need to register our equipment for the Summer League. My pool begins today, and I need to know the location of the place I'll be fighting in."
"Of course, what pool are you both taking part in? The League's battle locations are already set in stone, so I can tell you both your Battle Room numbers."
Nix responded happily, "Oh that's great! I am in pool 26, and my sister is in 55."
"Ok, just give me one moment" after a moment of the nice woman typing away on her console, she gave the girls the room number they'd be fighting in. Luckily, their pools would be fighting in the same location, and she was able to give Neyah the time and date her pool would begin. The receptionist then asked for Nix and Neyah's cards and scrolls so she could give them the exact directions to the registration spot and the Battle Room. "Ok, and with that you should be all set. Is there anything that I can help you with gentlemen?"
Nova looked at her with a bit of surprise, "huh, me? Oh no I don't need anything, thanks for offering though."
"Are you sure? I can give you the directions to the Battle Room, I'm sure you'd want to watch her fight. All I need is your scroll and visitors pass to assist you." The receptionist was very insistent on helping which seemed a bit odd, but he figured she just wanted to help so he brushed it off.
"Nah it's no biggy, I actually don't have a scroll on me anyway so I don't think it would be much of a help. Thanks again for the offer though, I really appreciate it." Nova figured he could just use his mental map of the building to find his way there, and if for some reason he couldn't follow the maps layout, he could just follow Nix and Neyah's ally arrows with no issue. The group was about to walk off, but the receptionist wouldn't let up.
"Sir wait! Before you go, allow me to give you this physical map. I've marked the location of the room on the map so all you have to do is follow the red line to the room." The receptionist held out a small map from behind her desk and borderline pleaded for him to take it.
He found it weird that this woman would put so much effort into helping him find his way, but he accepted her gift anyway. After all it didn't matter much since he had the System map. "Thanks for the help!" he said as he picked up the small paper map from the lady.
"You're very welcome! Enjoy your stay!"
"That was kinda off, I wonder what her deal was." He thought as he continued walking with his lovers. They walked for a moment until they came to a large four-way intersection in the hallway, and they stopped. "According to this map I gotta go this way, and I'm guessing you all are going that way." He said, pointing to down the western hall that the girls had to go down.
Neyah spoke up, "yeah, looks like we gotta separate here."
Nix followed with "we'll see you later Baby! Try your best not to get lost in the hallways" she chuckled quietly as she said the last part.
"I won't," he chuckled out in return. "See you both later! Good luck in those matches, even though I know you don't need it." Nova gave both girls a chaste kiss on the lips before they went their separate ways in the large hallways of the building.
Nova spun his heels, turning around to face the hallway that he was supposed to go down. "Well, Byakko, lets follow this map and see how long it takes us to get to the room, and then we can make some shit. Onward!" He then began walking confidently down the hall, following the instructions given to him by the eager receptionist. With Byakko walking by his side, he took right and left turns, walked up stairs, zigged and zagged through spiraling hallways, and climbed a single ladder to reach the destination that was circled in red on the map that he was given.
"Aaaaaannnnddd we're here." He looked up to find that he was in a completely empty hallway, with no doors or windows to give him any idea of where he was. "Where the fuck, am I? I swear I followed this map perfectly, and now I'm God knows where. Well, it looks like we're going with plan B, or plan A? Whatever plan alphabet variable it was, I'm just gonna follow the System Map." Nova turned around to go back the way he came, but he suddenly came face to face with a tall beauty that he instantly recognized.
She wore a pure white long sleeve dress shirt that was pleated at the wrists and exposed slightly at the chest. The keyhole cut in the center of the white top exposed her incredibly busty breasts that swayed seductively with every movement she made. The cleavage of her large breasts accentuated her flawless pale white skin that glowed in the light. The collar of her outfit held a teal pendent that hung low, sitting in between the massive mounds that were her mammaries. Her slim waist and thick thighs were covered by a tight, black, high waisted pencil skirt that hugged her curvaceous form. The skirt had bronze stylish buttons that lined the center and the black skirt naturally led into her long legs that were covered by brown stockings. She also wore long black boots with bronze heels and a black cape with a purple underside. The ends of the noble cape depicted flaring flames and was cut into arrow like shapes, horizontally lining it were also bronze Diamond shaped beads.
"Glynda Goodwitch." The words slipped from his mouth subconsciously as he saw her. It was a completely unintentional mistake, but there was nothing he could do about it now. "Oh shit! I'm not supposed to know her name! Maybe I can play it off somehow."
The blonde-haired professor was slightly shocked that the man knew her name, but she remained calm barely showing any sort of reaction on her face. "So, you have heard of me. It seems Ozpin was right to be worried, he already knows who I am. Was he expecting this? Is that why he allowed himself to be brought to such a secluded location." She said in a stern tone.
"Chance! Of course, I know you, who hasn't heard of the great Huntress Glynda Goodwitch. Good, now it shouldn't be too weird that I know who she is."
"Is he on to me and my objective? Well, since you are already aware of who I am, I believe it would fair for you to introduce yourself as well."
"Of course, my name is Nova Pollux, it is an honor to meet you."
"As Ozpin said, he doesn't intend to hide at all. You as well, Mr. (LN). Do you mind me asking what brings you to this secluded part of the building? It is not exactly a high traffic area, nor is there anything here that a visitor would take part in." Glynda questioned him, hoping to receive some sort of answer that would deviate from his established alibi.
"Huh? She already knows that I'm a visitor. That's interesting. You can just call me Nova, the formality is I was just trying to find this Battle Room to watch Nix, one of my partners, compete in her Summer league pool matches. However, when I followed the instructions that the receptionist gave me, it somehow led me here. Do you know anything about that? I probably could've worded that question better, but it whatever. I just want to know if she knows how to get to the correct Battle Room."
Glynda's eyes widened by a fraction of an inch, not noticeable by most people, but very noticeable to Nova. "He knows! But how? Did he just now deduce that from our short exchange? Or did he already know leading up to him walking inside the building? And he who is Nix? Uhm no, I don't know anything about that, but I can still assist you in finding your way to the correct place. Would you like me to show you the correct way?"
"Yes please! I knew it, she misunderstood my question, but I guess it doesn't matter much since we reached the same conclusion anyway." Nova walked towards Glynda until they were side by side, and he motioned for her to lead the way.
The pair then began walking, with the Huntress walking a single step ahead of him to show him the way. The continued in silence for a moment until Glynda decided to spark up a small conversation with him, "If you don't mind me asking Nova, who exactly is Nix? I don't believe we have a student by that name in our freshman class. No need to act clueless now, he already is aware that we know who he is. I just need to tread lightly on the topics to keep him docile."
"Oh, that's right, Nix's real name is Nieva Panthera, she normally goes by Nix" Nova responded.
"Understood. I also couldn't help but notice your adorable pet that you have with you, do you mind introducing us?" Glynda managed to crack a small smile as she asked the question.
"Sure, this is Byakko my close companion, Byakko this is Glynda Goodwitch she's a very strong Huntress and one of the top professors at Beacon." Byakko Mwrahed as an introduction, with Glynda responding with a small smile.
"I've never seen an animal quite like this one, do you mind me asking what species of animal she is?"
"You don't have to keep saying 'do you mind me asking' or anything like that. I don't mind you asking any questions, and I'll do my best to answer anything you throw at me" he said with a big smile. For a moment, the hard shell that encased her heart cracked for a moment. As she saw this mysterious mans bright smile, she allowed only the slightest bit of blush to rush to her pale cheeks. However, it lasted only for a moment, and she quickly brought herself back to normal. "Alright, Glynda?"
As soon as she managed to fight down the blush and fix her stone face façade, it was shattered again by hearing her name out of this young man's mouth. She tried her best to keep her cool, but it felt nearly impossible when she experienced even the slightest bit of intimacy from him. "What is going on? Why is this happening? Glynda you must keep your calm, this handsome young man could possibly be a threat to this school's safety." She allowed the handsome line to slip through her thought radar as she actively attempted to get her act together, before responding to Nova's question.
On the other hand, said man watched as the Huntress walked in silence seemingly waring with herself mentally. "What happened? Is it because I was acting over familiar with her by using her first name? I'm sorry for the over familiarity Miss Goodwitch, I didn't mean to offend you in anyway." She was broken out of thoughts as she heard him say 'Miss Goodwitch,' and for some reason, the formality, no the lack of intimacy, that he said the name in saddened her slightly.
"No please, call me Glynda, I…I would much prefer it if you would." The huntress looked away towards the walls of the hallway as she spoke. She also fiddled with the glasses on her face as a defensive measure to hide her embarrassment.
Nova watched the cute display from the older woman in interest, "ok Glynda. There is no need for any formalities or over politeness between us, we can just walk and talk like normal people. And by the way, Byakko is a Celestial White Tiger, whatever that means."
The way he said it made Glynda chuckle, "Oh a Celestial White Tiger, I've never heard of such an animal, but she must be pretty special" she said with a genuine smile.
"Yup, she is a one of a kind, super-duper, ultra-special, 100-starr, legendary animal, or something like that." The childish nature of his answer made her laugh even more, as she began lifting her glasses to wipe small tears from the corner of her eyes out of laughter.
"Well, it very nice to meet such a special, one-of-a-kind animal like yourself Byakko." Glynda said as she calmed herself down from her laughter. As the three of them continued to walk to the other side of the building where Nix and Neyah were, they began having a great conversation, learning more and more about each other as they continued to talk. Glynda relaxed completely, having a genuinely enjoyable conversation with Nova, and as time went on, she had forgotten the objective she had when she originally encountered him. Instead, she just enjoyed her time talking and learning about this interesting figure that had suddenly become the most enthralling thing in Glynda Goodwitch's life.
Time continued to pass, and the professor was getting closer and closer to ending her long, but enjoyable, conversation with Nova. "Just ahead is the entrance to the Battle Room that you were looking for" she said. As they began approaching the large double doored entrance to the Arena, Glynda let slip a question that she was supposed to secretly figure out the entire time they were conversating. "Nova, what brought you to Beacon in the first place?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she instantly recoiled, trying to take back the seemingly innocent question. "I mean you don't have to answer me, I wouldn't want to overstep my bounds." She had no idea why she found herself being so fond of this man she had met less than half an hour ago, but she knew that she was. And it was because of that fondness that she didn't want to ask or do anything that may ruin the trust and interest that he had built up in her during their extensive conversating.
"Uhm, I don't really know. The short answer would be to follow Nix and Neyah in their endeavors, but the real answer is a bit more complicated than that." Glynda listened with bated breath as she hung on every word of his response. She had remembered her objective, her mission, that she had when she approached him in that secluded hallway, and no matter how much she enjoyed his company, his answer to her sudden question would determine whether or not they could meet on friendly terms again. "I guess if I had to simplify my reasoning, I would say it like this." The Huntress stopped all movement as she looked into the man's eyes to fully hear every word of his explanation. "I came to Beacon to meet new people, learn more about this world, grow stronger, and eventual, save it from destruction."
The words hung in the air for a moment as silence fell over the duo. Glynda looked into his eyes and saw nothing but pure honesty, valor, and virtuosity. It was in that moment that she realized that they were completely wrong in their assessment of the mysterious figure they saw in that video. There may still be unanswered questions, but this man standing tall in front of her had no malicious intent whatsoever and she knew that in her heart of hearts. "I am not going to act like I know exactly what you mean by those objectives, but I do believe that if there was a place to achieve them it would be here." Miss Goodwitch then gently placed her hand onto Nova's shoulder and looked, somehow, deeper into his eyes. "Why don't you join Beacon Academy Nova?"
Nova's eyes widened slightly at her question, "really? Just like that, you'd let me join?"
"Of course, there would still be some official work that would need to be done before then, but you could enroll, and you'd definitely be accepted. We could start later today if you wish, I'm sure Headmaster Ozpin would love to me you as well."
"Absolutely! It'd be an honor to be able to become a student at this school! But I don't have a scroll or anything like that to contact you."
"That's fine, just come to the Hope building and someone will be there to lead you to the headmaster's office from there. The Hope building is the central most and tallest building on the campus, you can't miss it. I'll make sure that I am present as well for the exchange." Glynda was practically beaming with joy as she explained the process to him after hearing his response.
"Alright, I'll make sure to be there as soon as possible! Thanks for everything Glynda! Ill be seeing you later unless you want to sit and watch these matches with me."
The professor battled with herself for a moment, "I'd love to, but I still have some work that I have to attend to and plus I have to prep some of the paperwork for your enrollment. Enjoy the matches Nova, I'll see you soon." After she said that, he waved her a quick goodbye and both Byakko and him made their ways to the large double doors of the Battle Room. Glynda stood still watching his retreating form as he approached the doors with a single conflicting question still on her mind. She hadn't addressed it earlier because she didn't want to overstep her bounds, but now her curiosity was beginning to get the better of her. "Excuse me! Nova!" She called out to him right before his hand reached the door handle.
The man turned around to face the Huntress, "yeah Glynda, what do you need?"
Glynda choked on the words for a moment, asking herself if she should truly say what she was thinking, but since she already had his attention, she chose to ask the question against her better judgement. "Earlier you said that Nix was one of your Partners, what exactly did you mean by that?"
"Oh that, I am in a romantic relationship with both Nix and Neyah. I would've said girlfriend, but I think its more than that, but at the same time marriage sounds a bit off, and mates sounds even worse when I say it aloud, so I settled on partner. Sorry for the confusion."
Glynda was stunned at his explanation, and when he said that they were in a romantic relationship she felt a sharp pain in her chest, but as she heard that he was romantically involved with her sister as well the only thought that crossed her mind was. "Chance!" She shoveled the thought into the back of her mind for a later date and decided to tease him with her response. "So, you're dating two beautiful women simultaneously and they just so happen to also be twins." She then tilted her glasses in a downward angle, looking at him with her light green eyes, and licked her lips seductively, "Naughty Boy."
As he heard her seductive tone and sexual words, his face naturally formed a slight blush on his cheeks. His mouth gaped and his body froze as he was left stunned by her comment. His reaction made Glynda's heart skip a beat and create a large grin on her beautiful face. "Ill be seeing you soon Mr. Pollux, don't keep me waiting too long." He couldn't help but gulp slightly at her comment. As he watched her strut down the hallway swaying her hips alluringly with every step.
"I guess Ill be seeing her later then." He thought as he turned back around and opened the door so both Byakko and he could enter into the Battle Room. As he took a look around, he noticed that the room was similar in size to a large high school gymnasium, with white walls and silver bleachers lining the walls of the battle place. In the center of the room was a large white circular ring made from, what he could tell, the same material as the walls and floors of the Private Training Rooms. In the stands were a good amount of people, all spaced out ready and waiting for the battles to begin. Nova and Byakko took their place among them, sitting in the very center of the eastern stands. "Ugh, finally I can open up the damn System forge and make the shit I've been wanting to for the past, 6 hours. Hey Meta, can you bust that forge open for me pretty please?"
[Of course, Partner!]
Mete then opened the forge for Nova so he could finally get some work done. "Now, lets make me a weapon!" His first objective was to create a weapon or some kind, but since he had so much time to think about what weapon to make and how he was going to make it, the decision-making process was simple. The first thing he did was combine and upgrade all the Black Dust variations he had, which resulted in 25 Black Crystalized Dust. This was not a ton, but it was more than enough for him to work with. He then turned 20 of the 25 Crystals into 2 Large Black Crystalized Dusts, and then went back to the forge to put it all together.
The forge was actually very simple, but he could make it as complex and intricate as he wanted it to be. Essentially, all he had to do was give the System any usable materials, pick a weapon type, and then hit forge and the system would do the rest for him. However, he could also determine which parts of the weapon got which materials and he could go deeper into certain aspects of the weapon like the Attribute Entrenchment that he adjusted on Nix's dagger. For now, he wanted to focus on the basics, so he began with creating the weapon blueprint, adjusting the size of the handle and blade to fit his specifications. After he was finished with the blueprint, all he needed to do was allocate the materials, so he used the Large Crystalized Black Dusts to form the blade and handle of the weapon, with the rest of the Black Dust being used to fill out and enhance the rest of the weapon wherever needed. As he was finalizing the design, he chose to enhance the blade further using the rest of the Dust Crystals he owned. They didn't add on any special skills or abilities, but they did add additional AP which was satisfactory in his opinion. The Dust crystals he used to enhance the weapon were: 2 Reds, 1 Orange, 2 Yellows, 1 Blue, and 1 Light Blue.
This Weapon will cost 1 AUG to create, would you like to create this Weapon?
Y/N
"Yeah."
Are you sure?
Y/N
"Yes, I'm sure" he replied to the System.
Congratulations! You have created a Masterpiece!
What would you like to name this Weapon?
"Oh shit, I didn't think I had to name it. You can just put me on the spot like this, lemme think. Uhhhhhhh, I don't know. How about… Uhh… Grimm."
'Grimm'- An incredible scythe of enormous proportions, built from strong Black Dust this weapon was created to kill. The long blade is sharp enough to cut through thick metal like paper, its sturdy handle will not be broken by anything but its master command. A thirsty and loyal scythe that grows stronger as it devours and will kill any who it deems unworthy of its power, that is Grimm; +10% STR, +10% END, +10% DEX; Innate Ability: *Devourer*; Grants Skill: *Gravity Control* {Lvl: MAX}; Grants Skill *Intimidation* {Lvl: MAX}
*Devourer*- A hunger, a need to feed drives this weapon to grow stronger as it feeds. Killing enemies grants a temporary boost in stats, the more you kill, the stronger you will become.
*Gravity Control* {Lvl: MAX}- Due to the high concentration of Black Dust in Grimm, this weapon allows you to control the gravity around you in a full 3-D space. You can use this skill to pull people closer to you, push them away, bring them to their knees, and fly into the air. Gravity is in your hands; Cost 500mp or 100au

Just being around you when it is activated will leave your opponent's cowering in, and paralyzed with fear; Causes fear to anyone who sees you, more effective on the direct target of the glare; Cost 100mp
"Oh shit, this is more perfect than I'd imagine it being. Now all I have to do is create some equipment that matches that vibe. I'd rather not have to remove anything I have on now, but if I have to, so be it."
[Meta has a solution for you!]
"Really? Tell me about it then partner."
[Yessir! It is a System Mechanic that you are already aware of called Appearance! It is the same system that allows you to change what equipment you wear visually! With this Mechanic, you can craft Appearances that will instantly change your outfit to whatever you see fit without changing any of your equipment!]
"That works perfectly, thanks Meta! Let's just craft us an appearance then shall we."
[Yeah!]
"Since it's just an appearance let's use the most basic material to make something that'll scare the shit out of anyone that see's me." Nova worked in the forge for a moment, crafting multiple different designs for Appearances that he may want to use before he finally settled on one. It cost him no AU currency at all the only thing he had to use that was semi-worth a damn was a single Red Powdered Dust Vial, but even that was worthless in the long run.
The appearance that he created was a primarily red hooded outfit with black accents that worked as a strong base. It looked similar to a mage or an archer's robe in that it had a long hood that doubled as a scarf and collar. The torso of the apparel was a tightly fit black vest that had intricate red designs across it. Wrapping around its waist was a dark red sash, with a torn cloak beneath it that looked like a half skirt. The pants of the fit were a mix of red and black designs that continued down to its deep black boots. The boots covered with red links, straps, and chains that gave them an earie look. On top of that, the bottoms of them were splotched with red designs that looked like the boots had just stepped in fresh blood. The long sleeves of the outfit were red in color but had a mixture of draping and tightly wrapped black straps on them. The eloquently designed black straps wrapped all the way down to the gloves, wrapping tightly around the space between the thumb and index finger. The gloves of the Appearance were predominantly red with a black palm coloring, and it had sharp looking claws on the ends of each finger. The last piece of the outfit was a sinister half and full Oni mask very similar to the one designed on the back of the calling card he left at the Dust shops except it was primarily black with red accents. The mask had both a full and half form, with the full version having sharp demonic horns sticking out from the top, and the half form turning his eyes a threateningly blood shot red.
"Ok ill call this Appearance, uhhh… The Grimm Reaper since that's what I'm gonna be using it for anyway. And with this the second to last preparations have finally been made! And since I'm on a roll right now, let's do the last step! Meta, can you convert all my AUB into Lien please"
[As you wish Nova!]
32,486 AUB has been converted into 324,860 Lien!
"Perfect! Now we wait till Saturday, and then we can start the real shit!" As Nova mentally celebrated the advancement of his plans, and creation of his first weapon, he was suddenly broken out of his thoughts when he heard a door being blasted open loudly. The door shot open and slammed harshly against the solid wall, echoing the loud bang throughout the large gymnasium and turning everyone's attention to the person who caused the mass disturbance.
"DARLING! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU AT!"
Chapter 19: Ice Queen
"DARLING! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU AT!" The woman that entered the room was none other than one gorgeous, but very angry, Neyah Panthera. As she walked into the room after brutally kicking the door open, she was yelling curses as she looked around the large room attempting to find her Darling.
Nova couldn't help but face palm at the racket she was making, but he still loved her, and so he responded to her in an equally loud and obnoxious way. "HEY BABE! WE'RE UP HERE! HURRY UP AND BRING THAT SWEET ASS OVER HERE!" He yelled while swinging his arms back and forth to signal his currently location to the panther Faunus.
Neyah quickly spotted him after his loud display, and her face lit up as she sprinted up the stands and leaped into his arms, pelting his face with a barrage of kisses. "How are you, Darling? Did you miss me?"
"I'm doing great! And of course, I missed you. How'd your equipment registration go?" At the question, Neyah's mood instantly soured as she recounted the events.
"It was fucking awful! The second we got there they separated me from my sister which already pissed me off and then this ugly ass man said he needed to take my weapon for 'examination'! I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Hell, the fuck no! Like hell I was gonna let them take my shit somewhere I wasn't. So, they said that they'd save the examination for last so I could watch them do it, but that wasn't even the worst part. Some lady took me to a private room for 'physical examination' and this Bitch tried to touch me! Can you fucking believe it! She tried to touch the body that I had given to you! She even had the nerve to tell me to remove my chest wrappings, that fucking slut wanted to see my tits! So naturally, I defended what was yours and she ran away crying like the cowardly cunt that she was. After that, they brought Nix in with me and had her do the physical thingy with some weirdo doctor bitch and Huntress lady watching her do it. It was annoying as fuck, and it took goddamn forever, but I'm just so happy that its finally done and I can be with you again!" Neyah then hugged tightly into her breasts as she completed her story.
"Wow" was all he managed to say as he mentally exhaled a deep sigh and held in a chuckle at her story. As his face was still engulfed in her boobs he muffled out "soh, whm dahz thha mahh strrt? (So, when does the match start?)"
"When I left, they said soon, but I don't know when. We can just cuddle until then!"
"Snndz gaahhd thhm mhe! (Sounds good to me!)" The man, woman, and tiger then sat and idly chatted as they waited for the matches to begin. Turns out they didn't have to wait long at all as around 5 minutes later a young man, that looked like a student, with a black suit on walked to the center of the stage and began speaking to the audience.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare yourself for the first invigorating battle of the 26th Pool of the Novice Huntsman Summer League!" The announcer paused for a moment, waiting for the applause to die down. "Now let us give a warm welcome to our first competitors! On my left we have the number one seed, most favored to win this pool, the master of the War hammer, the hottest of the Hot, you know him, you love him, iiiiiiiiiitttttttttttsssssssssssss JULY AUGUSTINE!" At the announcement, the crowd when absolutely buck wild. The people in the stands were on their feet yelling and cheering his name as they saw July walk onto the stage.
He was an incredibly large guy, probably around six foot seven or eight, weighing around 270 pounds in pure muscle. He had short blonde hair flowing hair with a douchie smile to back it up and wore silver armor that boosted great defense. The armor covered his chest, knees, arms, and back leaving only his joints exposed. Over his left shoulder was a large silver and gold War hammer that was similar to himself in stature.
The announcer waited a moment for the cheers to die down before continuing, "And on my right, we have the B-Rank, Panther Faunus, Nieva Panther!" The reveal was considerably less exciting than it was for Mr. July, and the audience reflected that with their pitiful claps. However, the cheering and applause was far louder than it was for Augustine due to two people and a tiger screaming their lunges out.
"LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO NIX! KICK HIS ASS! HE AINT GOT SHIT ON YOU!"
"FUCK THAT BITCH ASS DOUCHE BAG UP NIX! TEAR HIS BALLS FROM HIS SCROTUM AND FEED THEM TO HIM FOR BREAKFAST!"
"MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH! MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH!"
"Damn Byakko isn't that a little too aggressive?"
Nix couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her family's cheers, but they gave her an incredible amount of energy and confidence as she prepped herself for the fight. The announcer stepped off the platform, and asked both fighters "Are you both ready?" They both nodded their heads in affirmation, ready to begin the battle. "Ok, when you hear the bell sound, you are free to attack!"
Nix shifted her weapon from bell to dagger as she anticipated hearing the bell to begin attacking. On the other end of the platform, July stood with his War hammer resting over his shoulder thinking, "this should be a very easy fight. All I gotta do is hit her once and its over. She's clearly a ranged fighter which is why she's tryna fake me out with the dagger. So, the plan is to simply rush in before she can take advantage of the space between us and crush her with my beloved hammer." Nix's mind was empty as she had absolute focus on the person in front of her, and she patiently waited for the sounding of the bell.
Ding!
As soon as the bell sounded it was off to the races, July took one big step forward and prepared to raise his hammer into the air for a crushing blow, but before his foot even touched the ground his opponent had vanished. "Huh?" This was the only thought that managed to cross his mind before he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He didn't feel a slash against his Aura, or even the pressure that came with metal clanging against his armer, he felt the skin on his chest be sliced open. After his realization, his body suddenly went flying backwards, soaring of the perimeter of the circle platform, and slamming hard against the ground as his body skipped and rolled, coming to a stop by slamming harshly against a wall.
In the short moment since the ding of the bell, the only thing that the majority of the audience experienced was the sound of glass shattering, and the clanging and clattering of July's body being rag dolled across the ground. However, Nova and Neyah saw exactly what happened. The instant the bell sounded she dashed incredibly quickly onto July and using the momentum of her sprint she cut a vertical slash deep into the chest of Mr. Augustine. The sound of glass shattering that the crowd heard was actually July's Aura being broken so quickly that instead of slowly fading out, it shattered under the intense pressure of Nix's swing.
The entire room fell eerily silent as time seemed to stop for the audience members. Then suddenly a quiet voice coming from the center of the gym shattered the silence with the same strength and impact of her initial swing. "Oh, I apologize, it seems I used a bit too much of my strength."
Silence rang for a moment longer, before the announcer suddenly yelled "Medic! Medic! He needs medical attention immediately! He's bleeding!" The crowd remained silent as medical personnel began rushing into the room carrying July's unconscious body from the room.
On the other hand, Nova, Neyah, and Byakko erupted in cheers and praise at Nix's amazing performance. "GOOD SHIT NIX! THAT'S HOW WE DO IT!"
"HELL YEAH! MURDER THAT SON OF A BITCH FOR TRYING YOU!"
"MRWAH MWARH! MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH! MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH MRWAH MWARH!"
"Byakko must get really into events like this, that language is borderline uncalled for."
The crowed remained unbothered by the three's chanting, as they were still in complete shock at the event that they had seen. This shock and silence slowly started to wear off as the next match was announced and the two fighters fought in a even battle, with neither of them even coming close to drawing blood. The audience continued to get warmed back up until Nix was getting announced yet again, standing quietly on the right side of the stage. For a moment, the crowd remained silent, however as her name was announced that crowd began clapping, and a few even cheered for the quiet girl. This match went the same way as the previous one did, except this time Nix didn't even pull her weapon. As soon as she heard the ding she dashed up and one punched the lights out of her opponent leaving them out of the ring, out of Aura, and out of consciousness.
By the time she came out for her final match of the day, the crowd was roaring with cheers, some of the audience members even tried to out cheer the trio, but of course they didn't let that happen. Nix's last match went the same way, her shattering her opponents Aura with a bare fist and leaving them borderline dead on the floor. The only difference with this match was the amount of cheering and praise she got after the punch.
The announcer man then came back on to the stage to announce Nix as the winner of the battle and tell the crowd about her entry into the top 8 matches that would take place the following day at the same location. Nix then walked off the stage, ignoring the man's announcement, to a barrage of claps and cheers as she destroyed her competition and changed the people's opinion of her in the short amount of time.
Nova, Neyah, and Byakko followed her as she exited, ignoring the rest of what the announcer had to say. They were quickly able to catch up to her quickly, and Nova gave her a tight hug from behind, lifting her up as he did it. "Congratulations! You did so well!"
Neyah corroborated the opinion, "Yeah Nix, you fucked that first bastard up! These pieces of trash aint nothin compared to us!" Byakko had a similar opinion, but she was much quieter with her Mwrah's than she was during the actual matches.
Nix hugged her lover in return, but she remained humble throughout the encounter, "I really was not that impressive, my opponents were weak. I ended up overestimating the first mans abilities slightly and I severely hurt him because of it. I need to learn how to better evaluate my opponent's strength, I would rather not get disqualified from the tournament, or worse expelled from the school, because of accidentally killing another student."
"Well either way, you had an incredibly impressive showing of strength today" Nova started. "I am extremely proud of your confidence in your close-range strength, especially because of how you were before."
Nix blushed slightly at the praise, "it was truly all thanks to you. None of this would be possible without your assistance."
While he couldn't completely deny that fact, he didn't really believe that it was completely due to his intervention. "Nah, I'm sure you would've figured it out even without my help." The group continued walking and talking as they made towards the main entrance of the building, so they could enjoy the rest of their day, but as they approached the entrance they stopped for a moment. "So, you're saying that the matches didn't scratch your battle itch?"
"Yes, I would still like to improve upon my abilities and those 'battles', if you could even refer to them as such, were exceptionally unsatisfactory" Nix said in response to her lover's question.
"I mean we definitely could go back to training, but there is something that I gotta do first. And before you ask me what, I want it to be a surprise. So, while you two occupy a room, Imma go handle my business and I'll catch up with you both later. I promise it'll be fast, and trust that I'll be able to find the room you're in very easily. Alright?"
Nix and Neyah looked at their man questioningly, but they whole heartedly trusted anything that he said. And because of that they quickly agreed to his proposition and the group separated for the second time that day.
Nova walked back to the front entrance with Byakko in hand, and as he approached the front desk, he smiled at the receptionist as he passed. "Thanks for the map, it helped out a ton!" The receptionist looked a bit nervous as he said it and she remained silent as she watched his silhouette retreat into the brightness of the day.
"Now I just gotta find my way to the 'Hope' building, and Glynda said that I couldn't miss it." He then looked up, searching around for the massive clock tower that he figured was where Ozpin's office was located and, unsurprisingly, he found it almost instantly. Even from where he was standing, at the front of the Battle Arena, the clock tower looked impossibly tall, and it towered over everything in the area. Even on a clear sunny day like today, the very top of the tower still appeared to be shrouded in translucent clouds. "Yep, definitely unmissable." He then walked towards the massive building, thinking all the while. He wasn't exactly familiar with the layout of the building, or the admission process, so he was interested in what he would be going through.
Thoughts like these made their way through his mind as he walked down the long path that led to the buildings massive wooden entrance. As he entered the building, he was immediately welcomed by someone he recognized. "Welcome to the hope building Nova." The girl that welcomed him into the building was none other than a gorgeous woman who was a stunning beauty. She had long, flowing red hair, with glowing emerald eyes. Adorning her shinning hair was a bronze circlet with a pair of tears drop shaped emeralds connected by a small chain. She had similar accessories in her ears, as tear dropped shaped emerald earrings hung from each ear lobe. Across her forehead was a golden bronze headpiece with another green emerald in the center of it. Her skin was a slightly tanned white, and she was very tall standing at about 6'3''. She wore a standard Beacon Academy uniform even though it was the middle of the summer and most of the students walked around in casual clothing. The woman's uniform included a short red plaid skirt, dark brown blazer like jacket, with a white cotton shirt underneath it. The shirt flared up into a collar and tied around the collar was a customary red ribbon. With her uniform, she wore long black stockings that covered her muscular legs, and she wore brown flat foot boots to complete the outfit.
The pretty woman bowed slightly as she greeted him, "I was alerted by Professor Goodwitch that you would be coming, I am the one who will lead you to the headmaster's office. You are welcomed to ask me any questions you may have, and I will answer them to the best of my abilities. My name is Pyrrha Nikos."

*Polarity (Semblance)*- Allows Pyrrha to control metal via magnetism. In using this ability, she can freely move her own and her opponent's weapons and other metal objects to manipulate them to her will.
As he was beginning to get used to seeing characters, he once thought were fictional in real life, he wasn't shocked enough to physically react to it. However, he was still surprised to see her this soon; "Nice to meet you Pyrrha, as you know, my name is Nova Pollux. Thanks for going out of your way to help me out."
"It's no problem, I was asked to do this so there is no reason to thank me. And as a fellow incoming first year, it is important to build a relationship with one of my future classmates."
Nova was slightly confused at what she was saying, "future classmates? If she is anything like the Pyrrha in Rwby, then she should be incredibly strong, so she should already be S-Rank and since I haven't been enrolled yet, I don't even know my rank. Maybe she's just being nice or something." He stored the thought into the back of his head and decided to learn some more about this development. "Alright, let's not waste any more time chilling around here, we can walk and talk instead!"
As he said that, Pyrrha agreed with the sentiment, and they started towards Ozpins office. He decided to start asking her some questions just to start a conversation with her, "So, what is this building mainly used for?"
The tall woman responded with, "this is the main building that is used to house, teach, and train the top students in the academy. So, there are dorm rooms, lecture halls, training rooms similar to the ones used in the Battle Arena, a large library, and almost anything else a student may need to be successful at Beacon."
"Interesting. So, when you say 'top students' what exactly do you mean? Are you referring to A and S-Rank students?" Nova asked.
"No, this building is exclusively used for S-Rank students only" Pyrrha exclaimed. "It is like this to encourage the Huntsman in training to try as hard as possible to reach this level of strength, with hopes of gaining privileges like this. According to reports, it has been very effective in this objective."
"That makes sense" he said quietly, loud enough only for Pyrrha to hear. The two continued walking for a minute longer in a comfortable silence until Nova asked another question. "I don't really have any questions regarding the school or the building, but I do find myself very interested in you." As she heard what he said, her face turned from stern and straight, to shocked and blushed. She was so surprised in fact, that she stopped walking entirely, but she kept he cool enough to respond without stuttering.
"What exactly do you mean by that Nova? I'm not very interesting at all!" She retreated slightly as she spoke, and started mumbling nervously" I'm not very attractive and I'm too tall, Ihavenorealfriendskindasensitive…" Her mumbling continued, with the only thing that was audible to a normal person being the beginning of what she was saying. However, of course Nova heard every word that came out of the embarrassed girl's mouth.
"Damn, is she really this self-conscious? She is tall, but kinda just adds to her appeal, and she said she's not attractive which is pure cap. Pyrrha, are you alright?"
"Huh?" She was suddenly broke from her stupor, and as she realized what she was doing her embarrassment must've quadrupled in intensity. "I deeply apologize for my actions!" She said as she bowed deeply to the man she was escorting.
"Its really fine Pyrrha, there is no need to apologize. If I'm being honest, it was kinda cute to see you get all flustered like that." He admitted with a bright smile on his face.
As she listened to him compliment her, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. And as she looked at his beaming smile, she was overcome with the need to protect, which even to her felt a bit weird. She didn't understand why she was beginning to feel the way she was, but in the moment she didn't care. "Thank you, but I'm not the cute one here." As the words left her mouth, she couldn't believe she had the confidence to same something like that. "Oh My God! Why did I say that!" As she watched Nova's reaction to her flirtatious comment, she tried to change the topic, "anyway, what were you saying earlier?"
"Oh yeah, I was wondering if you'd be alright if I asked you some questions about yourself?" Pyrrha responded with a small nod, not wanting to accidentally say anything wrong again. "Ok cool! My first question would be, are you an S-Rank student?"
"Yes, I am. I was able to earn that right with my history as a student at Sanctum Academy." Pyrrha puffed her just out slightly in pride of her accomplishment. She clearly worked incredibly hard to get here and Nova respected that.
"Congratulations, I am sure it wasn't easy to get as strong as you are now." Pyrrha responded to his comment with a small smile, showing that his assumption was true. "I was just wondering because you said that we would be classmates, but I don't even know my own rank yet."
Pyrrha seemed to find interest in his last statement, responding with, "Professor Goodwitch alerted me that you would be one of my future classmates, that is why I addressed you as such. I'm sorry that I don't have a proper satisfactory explanation to give you."
"That's interesting, I guess that's something else I gotta keep in mind. Its fine if you don't know, I was just curious." They continued walking through the large decorate hallways of the building, talking about whatever as they walked, until they reached a large room separated from the rest of the hall via a large glass wall. Pyrrha led Nova through the double doors, and inside the large room was 6 decorate, elevator doors with two of them separated from the rest. The first 4 doors were usual silver elevator doors with nothing especially unique about them except the card slot on the side that was clearly used for entry. They were located on the far sides of the room, two on the east wall and two on the west, with the north side designated for these two special elevators. Firstly, there was a large wooden desk with a older man sitting behind the desk that was in front of the two doors, on top of that, there were two huntsman guards that stood by each of the special doors. The design of these special elevators was interesting, they were a metallic silver color with an ovular gear shaped arc over top the door.
Pyrrha quickly walked up to the desk, at told the older receptionist who she and I were, and he quickly let the two passes. They walked to the right elevator and the huntsman pressed the button to open it, they then walked in and watched as the door closed. Nova walked to the wall closest to him and leaned on it comfortably as the elevator started rising.
He turned to Pyrrha who was standing in the center of the metallic designed elevator and got her attention to ask another question. "Hey Pyrrha, are you entering, or entered into, the Summer League?"
Said woman turned her attention to him curiously, "I am not involved in the Summer League at all because of my rank, however I will be in the Summer Tournament. Do you mind me asking why?"
"I was just curious because I heard that most people enter in hopes that they can get a rise in their Rank."
"Yes, that is common, but some of the higher rank individuals do so for the glory and popularity that comes with preforming well. I am taking part in it because I would like to strengthen my own abilities by fighting stronger opponents."
"Hm, can people get promoted to S-Rank from the tournament?"
"That is an interesting question since it is one that I do not have the answer to. I believe that it is possible, however I have no recollection of it happening. However, most of the time the Summer Tournament is full of A and S-Rank participants, and its exceptionally rare to see an A-Rank in top 8. So, I'd imagine that if someone wanted to be promoted to S-Rank then they would have to at least reach the top 8. I'm sorry that I'm not able to help you much."
"No, you were an amazing help! Thanks a ton for helping me out, you're the best!" Pyrrha allowed a smile to grow across her face at his compliments. She couldn't help but feel greatly appreciated when Nova spoke, it was one of the reasons she felt enchanted by him.
The two sat in silence looking at each other for a moment longer, until the ding of the elevator was heard, and the door slowly opened granting them entrance to Ozpin's office. "Welcome Mr. Pollux, long time no see." The woman that spoke was deep into the room, standing tall on his right side of the headmaster's long desk.
Nova and Pyrrha walked out from the elevator and into the expansive office. As the pair walked up to the large desk, and the two people by it, the man of the pair began taking a look around the office. "Damn this place is really big, and its hella elaborate. This floor is dope as fuck! And its hella soft! Imma need to get me an office like this." After finishing his quick examination of the room, he turned his attention to the busty lady that had been expecting him. "Yo what's good Glynda! How've you been in the few hours it's been since I saw you last."
The woman chuckled at his comments, "I've been absolutely terrible" she said while wiping away fake tears. "How could you have left me alone for so long!" The over dramatic theatrical display of her fake heart break was moving to everyone in the room, all for very different reasons. For both Nova and Glynda, they laughed and chuckled at their dramatic exchange, coming across as incredibly close friends or maybe even closer than that. Pyrrha on the other hand was moved to confusion, she didn't understand whether or not their exchange, or the professor's exclamation, was serious or not, mainly because Goodwitch seemed to be a very serious, no-nonsense type of person. Ozpin was in absolute, total, incomprehensible shock as he saw Glynda animate in the presence of the mysterious man who was no identified as Nova Pollux.
He couldn't believe the scene that was unfolding in front of him. His mind went totally blank as he saw THE Glynda Goodwitch laughing and chuckling with someone, she had met not even a full day ago. "What is going on here? First Glynda calls me personally and request an audience, which she never does. Then, she advocates the complete innocence of the person that we both identified as a possible threat to the safety of the school. After that, she demanded, not requested, DEMANDED, that he be admitted into my academy and treated with the utmost respect. And then on top of all that, the minute she sees him again she makes a JOKE! The Glynda Goodwitch made a Joke! This impossible, is it possible that this Nova figure has some kind of mind control semblance? That's not a possibility that I can just leave out given the circumstance. I need to remain vigilant, who knows what else he is capable of." As Ozpin finished his thoughts, Nova and Pyrrha were standing in front of his large desk.
Pyrrha bowed slightly to the two adult figures, "I apologize for the delay, as you can see, I have brought Nova Pollux as you all requested."
As Pyrrha rose from her slight bow, Glynda responded to her introduction with, "thank you for your assistance, Pyrrha. You were a wonderful help."
"The praise is not necessary; I was just doing what you asked of me."
Ozpin quickly chimed in on the conversation, "thanks again for your help Pyrrha. You are dismissed of your duty's, feel free to enjoy the rest of your day" he said with a smile.
At his comment, Pyrrha seemed a little conflicted. It looked as if she wanted to make a request, but she was clearly too nervous to ask. After a moment of confliction, she managed to build up enough courage to speak her mind, "Uhm I'm sorry for overstepping my bounds, but I have a request. If possible, can I remain in the office until Nova is finished with what is required of him. I would like to ensure that he makes his way back to his desired destination without getting lost."
Glynda and Ozpin turned to each other, discussing the request with a single look. The pair then turned back to Pyrrha, and Glynda chose to address her request. "The reason that Nova had been brought to this room is to complete his enrollment process. There may be sensitive, or personal information that he may or may not want to reveal to you. It is because of this that the decision is not up to us, the person you must ask is the man beside you."
Before Pyrrha could even turn to ask him the question, he answered the question he knew she was going to ask. "Yeah sure. I don't really care."
"Well, I guess that settles it, now let's get this done as quickly as possible. As I'm sure you have other matters to attend to Mr. Pollux" Ozpin said. With that, they began the enrollment process.
It was mostly just an explanation of various expectations, locations, and other need to know information that all the students receive upon being accepted into the school. However, after the verbal orientation, Glynda handed him a brand new Pink Scroll, that he of course accepted graciously. The rest of the process took place on the scroll, as they went through a lot of electronic registration to get him a proper Huntsman ID and other similar things. Surprisingly to Ozpin, Glynda had already registered her scrolls ID onto Nova's Scroll, giving him access to her personal line. That just added fuel to his mind control semblance theory and gave him more reason to believe that he was threat that needed to be dealt with. Also, it turns out that Nova really was a future classmate of Miss Nikos as he was registered as an S-Rank student. He didn't exactly know why, but he accepted it regardless. He was slightly irritated that Nix and Neyah were B-Rank even though he got S by doing nothing, but he let it go since he knew that they would be earning it in the tournament later. After this, the rest of the enrollment went smoothly, with Glynda, Pyrrha, and Nova laughing and flirting with each other all the while.
"You'll be using your Scroll as a temporary room pass that you'll be using for the rest of the summer. We use these to give students rooms before they are put into their teams that they will be with for the rest of their years at Beacon" Ozpin explained. "Your temp room will be located in this building, and I'm sure Pyrrha will have no issue pointing you in the right direction."
Nova looked back at Ozpin, "So, while I am using this temporary room, can I still access the facilities in the Hope building? Like the training room, lunch hall, and what not?"
"Yes of course you can. Just try your best not to shatter any walls in the building." In response to his sly remark Glynda gave Ozpin an incredibly harsh glare, while Nova looked at him in slight confusion.
As the professor finished burning a whole in the headmaster's head with her glare, she politely turned to Nova with a suggestive smirk. "You are free to use any of the rooms available to you, for as much time as you wish. During this time of year its first come first serve, however as soon as you are assigned a team, you'll be given a room that's yours to keep. Feel free to give me a call and I'll gladly come drill you into a fine young huntsman."
"I may have to take you up on that offer" he replied with an equally enthralling smile.
Ozpin looked at the exchange with irritation written on his face, so he decided to interrupt the flirtatious pair, "excuse me Mr. Pollux, but if you don't mind me asking, where exactly were you staying before?"
"Oh, I was sleeping with Nix and Neyah in their temp room. Is that an issue?"
"No there is no problem with that, students are free to have guests in their rooms at this time of year, my curiosity just got the better of me is all." Glynda's patients with Ozpin's personal, unneeded questions and comments towards Nova was beginning to wear extraordinarily thin, but the group continued with their exchange.
Throughout the entire encounter, Ozpins suspicions kept rising, but he kept his easy-going façade on. However, he planned on getting some answers and possible incriminating Nova with his last idea. "Alright Mr. Pollux, your almost done. The only thing that you need to do now is name and register your Semblance." As soon as the words left his lips Glynda went to refute his words, but Ozpin cut her off with an arm and a harsh look.
