Willow watched as her son and Silver walked back into the mansion and headed towards the direction of the training room, she waited for the two of them to be out of sight before she began to talk.

"you know I have to admit that you someone my father chose to protect my son needs help training him," she said to Rude.

Rude dint react to her words instead he took out his scroll and began to play the events that opened during the day, Willow watched as the snow came to life, and out of nowhere was a dragon-like Grimm.

"Mam, if I have to fight another person, then there is no way that I will lose"

'However, against Grimm" he said to Willow but she raised his hand and stopped him from saying anything else.

"Then you should get people that know how to deal with them to help in both your training and my son's training" Willow said to Rude

In the training room Silver looked at Whitley she didn't know what exactly she could say to her boss's grandson but she chose to do something to help him trust her.

"Sir as a way to build trust between us, you may do one thing to me today that I would normally never allow you to do"

"However please remember that it's only for today and it'll only be once," she said to Whitley

Whitley looked at the silver fox Faunus and he couldn't help but be drawn to her ears- hair and tail, so he said what he felt was right.

'I want to touch your ears- tail, and hair"

Silver immediately looked at him with wide eyes, she shook in full display.

'Sir!" she said to Whitley not believing what she had just heard

Unbeknownst to either of the two Nicholas Schnee laughed in his room as he watched the two interacting with one another through the video of his security cameras.

He had to give it to his grandson, he knew what he liked and he went for it.

"Just my ears and tail, okay," Silver said to Whitley as she bowed for him so that he could reach her head.

She felt how his warm fingers touched the tip of her ears before gently moving down and then he felt her young boss move to her head and place her hair between his fingers.

The two of them soon found themselves lost in their world that when they heard Rude cough they both fell on their backs as they tried to deny anything happened between the two of them.

Rude smirked as he watched the reaction of the two but t was time for Whitley's training.

The truth was that after Whitley had gone off to Mantle more than once his grandfather had decided to investigate what he was doing in the city.

When he found out about Kazuma and Aqua when he found that they called themselves adventurers instead of huntsmen he decided that he would encourage his grandson's chosen path.

Granted there was no chosen path and all it truly was, was nothing more than a child's curiosity, but the old man insisted that from a spark an entire forest could be set ablaze.

Normally Schnees would train under specific conditions, special tools made to make their inherited semblance work better, or something regular people cant use.

Whitley, however, would be the odd one out, he would train just like his grandfather did, meaning he would have to learn everything the hard way.

He watched as Silver moved out of the way before he formed a fist, if the boy was ready or not, that wasn't his problem, Kazuma had been right about one thing.

Whitley needed to learn fast, the poor kid never knew when Rudes fist connected with his face.

"Ow," Whitley said he rubbed his cheek

"Your Aura will keep you safe, now boss you learn by doing"

"So your first lesson is learning how to dodge and if possible block my attacks" Rude said to Whitley there was no need for anymore more words right now the only thing the boy needed to learn was how to use his survival instinct to his advantage

More than once Whitley tried to copy Rudes's fighting style but the man was both larger and had more experience than he did, so every time the two began to fight it ended with a single punch and Whitleys but on the floor.

Halfway through their training, the only thing Whitley did was run away, unfortunately for him, he was locked inside a room with someone faster than him, and again his but was on the floor.

[Present Point of View change ]]

Weiss Schnee couldn't believe her eyes the airship she was in had been ordered to land and use its communications equipment as a makeshift antenna so that both Atlas and Mantle could communicate with anyone they could.

It had been hours but since they saw the evacuation ships arriving.

Her and her friends were returning to Atlas, to meet with the Winter Maiden, but they were forced to leave the city ahead of time when the evacuation ships began to arrive.

They had no choice but to land when flying became impossible, there were Grimm everywhere and the Atlas military was being overwhelmed.

The airship she was on had to fight its way down, but that was just the beginning.

The ground itself was hell.

In every direction, her and her friends turned Atlas defense drones were fighting Grimm and losing because of the Grimms numbers.

It was completely overwhelming, it was only the sound of someone screaming that brought her out of her confusion and horror.

"Come on!" a man yelled as Huntsmen tried to evacuate some people nearby.

Not knowing what to do, she and her friends followed the group and were soon on several military trucks driving at full speed towards Mantle, running away wasn't an option anymore, that became abundantly clear when the soldiers driving handed everyone a gun and told them that if they wanted to live then they had to fight.

They had no choice, even if they missed nearly every shot they fired they were forced to keep the trucks safe, it was only when they were about to reach the edge of Mantle when they saw the massive gathering of Glymphs and the army of summons charging towards the Grimm, that she understood things had changed forever.
