The moment so many people have been waiting for. The chapter Accelerator awakens. Part of me wanted to say, you have been pranked, but I want you guys to think I'm honest until a really important scene when I can laugh and yell out, I LIED! When this happens, I won't tell you. Forever wonder if that moment will ever come to pass or if that moment is actually the lie. For the ship names I mentioned in the last chapter, you guys are really creative. I have decided to keep the list updated at the end of the chapter rather than the beginning. If someone comes up with a good name for a crossover pairing, it will be added. Like most of the ship names, you can have multiple ones. (Lancaster, Rose Arc, etc.) A person I know volunteered to try to draw a Weiss X Accelerator picture for my cover. Have to wait to see if his skills can pay the bills, haha. There seems to be a lack of RWBY X Index crossover art.
KisaragiKei: Do you have a name for Blake x Accelerator? Ruby and Last Order team up to use their pouts to get everything they want, omg. No one can resist it. Accelerator X Yang or Ruby would be fun, but the situation will have to be right to raise that flag.
jordanlink7856: I really wish I could take credit for Fistbump, but someone else came up with that. There is one possible scenario I envisioned that could trigger the Yang flag, but Accelerator probably has a better shot when Yang finds out her flirting doesn't work on him and she gets obsessed.
AltEden: Touma always has a harem, but he has to fight Jaune for one in this world. I enjoy Blake as a character a lot too, which is why I made her meet Touma first. Accel and Weiss both had difficult childhoods where you can say they were being used and manipulated by adults. They would have some kind of understanding. Short fuse isn't that bad, but Trigger Happy seems to be someone who focuses more on guns. The first one will be added to the list.
Memento Mori - The Truth: Accelerator wakes up and Nora pops out from under the bed singing "It's Happening!" Accelerator looks at her and she waves before walking out of the hospital room.
Azezal: They might, but there's so many Grimm for them to kill.
dickythamrin077: Everything is merging together perfectly. Now the plot can grow into a series of misunderstandings, violence, and fights.
Dead Salvation: Everything happens at its own pace.
The Rupture: I'm still thinking about Arc's Semblance. I have a list and many have been used already. (Not using time travel.) We only have a small glimpse in canon what it could be, so I will base it off that.
Nicetoderp: Okay, that is good. Added to bottom.
Guest: I kind of want to avoid calling every pair with Touma dragon. It just seems kind of lazy. Though I do accept the one with Yang because of what her name means. Black Rose is also acceptable since I really don't have any good names for Touma X Ruby.
WiliamZ0: My other crossover probably won't be updated for a long time, if ever, for various reasons. Kami-yan Disease affects all who come into contact with him. I actually have the scene where the invisible thing pops out and what people think it is already. Accelerator's description of Touma is always a laugh.
spoony285: Accepted and added below.
Panzer4life: Nora will not help because she will be yelling for Accelerator to break Cardin's legs and Accelerator will be more than happy to oblige.
FireDusk: Bad luck was the original name for them and I added that to the list.
Guest: Well if she didn't say it, everyone would comment that she had them.
EvsVsz: I learned to like Blake after reading quite a few fanfics with her. She's really interesting to write if you go into thoughts and actions over just her words. Remember, they are all hormone riddled teenagers, not all relationships will last and weird things can happen to bring unlikely people together. Nine Lives refers to Touma in the way no matter how many times you think he is down, he always seems to survive. I like the Illusion Breaker name for Emerald x Touma. I actually did the perspectives on purpose. I am not going to show Touma's perspective until later when he meets a specific person. Last Order is to act as a link between worlds so the RWBY cast can have a basic understanding when Accelerator wakes up. He is now awake and will get plenty of scenes.
Shadow dark the hedgehog: Accelerator is one of the best characters. The Dark Hero.
shiroryuu01: Sanity Dragon isn't bad, but it just doesn't feel right.
Adv: Touma will shake things up for sure. He and Jaune can exchange notes.
RPGPersona: Road Rage is so good and was added the moment I saw it. There is a reason I really don't like black rose dragon and it involves motorcycles. Blake meeting Touma went exactly as planned and Kami has begun to spread his disease. It also gives him a link into Beacon. Team RWBY does not know that Last Order wears the pants in her relationship with Accelerator. That saying from Yang to Ruby bothered me forever. I knew it was from somewhere and could not remember. I think it might have been from Danny Phantom. Man, I'm dating myself here, but I saw that show as a kid. Still debating on Jaune's Semblance, nothing in stone yet.
SpiderhunterXXX: It leaves you wanting more.
Kuvukiland: Many deaths will follow.
Wiliamsusanto: It was there, but Blake was too busy trying NOT TO DIE to bother listening to blabbing from someone else. Learning about Touma won't help if you can't find him.
Artyom-Dreizehn: Can totally sprinkle those in.
Crimson Miles: Nothing is set in stone, but I am leaning toward them a little bit. Things can change easily thought.
Guest: Nora will want Accelerator to teach her how to make Ursa fly.
I'm A Random Guy: As long as I like the story, it will be updated.
Disclaimer: I do not own Toaru Majutsu no Index or RWBY.
"BLAAAAKE!"
Ruby always liked getting up earlier than the rest of her teammates. Yang would sleep until noon if given the chance and Ruby had been used to being the one to make her get up on time. Weiss was more punctual, but even she wasn't necessarily a morning person, until she had her coffee. When Ruby woke up and bounded out of her top bunk to start the brand new day with a smile, she saw a sight that only increased her enthusiasm. There was a lump in the bunk below Yang's and Ruby noticed a familiar black bow and hair sticking out. Unable to contain her excitement, she had yelled out. Her response was filled with groans and complaints from her teammates.
Too early for this, Blake thought, but groaned out loud. She pulled the covers over her head to try to indicate she wanted to sleep. She knew it was futile, but she really wanted to sleep more.
"You better have a good explanation for shouting so early in the morning, Ruby," Weiss snapped and opened her eyes. She had woken up with a shock and missed exactly what Ruby said.
"What is it?" Yang mumbled and tried to rub the sleep from her eyes as she sat up, Her hair was all over the place and it usually took her a good forty five minutes to get it in order due to the volume. "I wanted to sleep late."
"Sleep later, slackers!" Ruby told Yang and Weiss. "Blake has returned!"
"Blake?!" Weiss and Yang echoed and that news woke them up. Weiss jumped out of bed and Yang swung herself down to stare at the bunk below, upside down.
"It is!" Yang shouted. Blake muttered something in response, but no one heard it.
"Where have you been?" Ruby asked and tugged at the blankets covering her. Blake held firm and the sheets wouldn't budge. "Weiss, how about some help?" Before Weiss could move, Yang landed down next to Ruby.
"I got this," Yang announced and grabbed the covers. "Kitty has some explaining to do." Yang was physically the strongest of the four. She proved it by yanking the covers off Blake in one fluid motion, leaving the poor girl lying out in the open. Blake opened one eye grudgingly and stared at her roommates.
"You couldn't let me sleep a little longer?" she asked irritated.
"Don't give us that attitude," Weiss reprimanded her. "You didn't let us know where you were yesterday and then you snuck in during the middle of the night? What are we supposed to think?"
"We were worried about you," Ruby added.
"Spill the deets," Yang ordered. "I want to know where you have been." She grinned. "It was with Sun, right?" Under the watchful eyes of her friends, Blake was going to have to tell them. She sat up and yawned. It had been a long night for her. She had to sneak through Grimm infested territory, over the wall of Vale, and ditch the White Fang clothes before grabbing new ones.
"I wasn't with Sun," Blake hissed. Sun was a good person, but she felt kind of weird how fast he took a liking to her. It was like he only wanted to get to know her because they were both Faunus. "I messaged you what happened Friday night. I lost track of time reading and missed the last Bullhead. I grabbed a room at a motel for a place to sleep that night. Sun was not involved."
"That's all well and good," Weiss stated and crossed her arms. "And we appreciated the heads-up, but that doesn't explain why you didn't come back until tonight. There was an entire day unaccounted for." Weiss frowned and stared at Blake closely, looking for any signs that Blake was about to lie. "There were plenty of opportunities to let us know you were okay."
"We would have contacted you first," Ruby added. "But stuff happened to us yesterday. Oh yeah, we have so much to tell you after you tell is what you have been up to."
"Spill it," Yang finished. "You promised us you would stop keeping secrets. You and I are partners, so when you disappear, I worry."
"Okay," Blake relented. "I'm sorry for worrying you and I'm going to tell you everything." She frowned and rubbed the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger. "I'm not even sure how some of what I witnessed is possible, so I might not be able to answer everything."
"What you witnessed?" Ruby asked.
"Let me start from the beginning," Blake explained. "I was actually heading back from my motel room, when I heard some people talking about the White Fang." She grew silent when three pairs of eyes widened.
"Blake…" Yang trailed off warningly.
"I was only planning to listen," Blake reassured her quickly. "Then they mentioned a meeting was happening shortly. I was only planning to listen to gather-…"
"No!" Weiss shouted at her and stuck a finger in her face. "We know how important this is to you, so we promised not to stop you, but you also promised us you wouldn't rush off on your own like that without letting us know. Their organization is dangerous, you saw that on the docks. Now, Torchwick is somehow leading them in stealing dust and you are still running off on your own! You could have been killed!"
"But I wasn't!" Blake protested. "I didn't seek this out, it fell in my lap."
"Weiss," Ruby said softly. She wanted to resolve the fight as quickly as possible, so they could learn everything that happened. "Blake made an error in judgment, but we need to wait until she is finished. You know Blake is capable of taking care of herself and she hasn't been stressing over them as much lately. I probably would have rushed off after them if I heard Torchwick being mentioned." Weiss huffed and backed away slightly from Blake.
"Continue," Yang ordered with a wave of her hand.
"I had to make a choice," Blake muttered. "There was only a short time until the meeting took place. I called my locker to the city, but then I made the decision not to contact you." Weiss opened her mouth angrily and even Yang scowled, but Blake continued on quickly to explain herself. "The reason I did so was because I knew you would all want to follow. There wasn't any time. You wouldn't know where to go and, by the time you got there, I doubt we would be in the same location. It would cause you more worry. I admit I made the mistake of not telling you I would be late, so I'm sorry about that."
"I… can accept that reasoning," Weiss finally said. "And thank you for admitting your mistake."
"So, what did you find out?" Ruby asked. "Was it big?"
"I am glad I snuck into their meeting," Blake admitted. "What I found, I'm not sure how to explain it, but I'm rushing things." Ruby was staring at her with such intensity, so she decided to skip over some of the minor details. "It wasn't so much a meeting though, but a checkpoint. We moved out right after changing into their uniforms. We ended up in a loading dock and started to prepare dust for shipment." Her expression darkened. "Torchwick was there." The other girls gasped. "Along with two others. One was a pink, white, and brown girl and the other was a pretty average looking boy with spiky black hair. The girl was called Neo and, from what the other members told me, she was incredibly dangerous and Roman's enforcer."
"An enforcer?" Weiss laughed. "That doesn't sound like one."
"I don't know," Yang pointed out. "Size doesn't matter in terms of skill, look at Ruby."
"Thanks-… hey!" Ruby changed direction. "I'm not small!"
"Quiet, squirt," Yang said with a smirk. "Blake's explaining herself." Ruby muttered darkly about milk and being an adult under her breath. "What about the boy?"
"This is where this story gets interesting," Blake muttered. "But I'll get to him in a moment. After we loaded the dust, Torchwick informed us we would be delivering it outside the wall."
"Outside?" Ruby and Yang asked together, while Weiss frowned.
"Where there are tons of Grimm?" Yang added. "Torchwick is pretty skilled, but I doubt he and some White Fang members could stealthily travel through Grimm territory."
"I wasn't the only one who thought he was insane," Blake continued dryly. "Everyone was about to mutiny." She took a deep breath and looked at the others. "This is going to sound weird, but I need an honest answer to this question." The other girls nodded. "Have you ever seen a Grimm not attack when it could? Maybe like it fears someone?"
"When Crescent Rose and I entered the battlefield," Ruby bragged. "All Grimm tremble before us!"
"Seriously," Blake said in a monotone.
"Well," Ruby amended. "Maybe they might just regret it." Ruby had killed a lot of Grimm with her beloved scythe, but Grimm seemed to want to keep challenging her. She made them regret it, but they would not learn.
"I've seen a few Ursai try to crawl away after I break several of their bones," Yang admitted. "But even they would try to strike me if I had my back to them." Her weapons were her fists and gloves, so Grimm she faced would be struck with blunt force. It wasn't as clean compared to a blade, but it worked for her. Her Semblance allowed her to increase her power when she took a hit, so being up close and personal was her style.
"Pack-type Grimm like Beowolves can sometimes have an Alpha," Weiss pointed out. "If you kill it and enough of the others, the remaining ones will sometimes retreat rather than be killed, unless you are really injured. It's not really a higher plane of thought like being scared of us though, more of a survival instinct." Blake nodded at their responses.
"Torchwick lead a small convoy of vehicles outside the walls," Blake told them. "And… he found a way to keep Grimm back."
"What do you mean?" Weiss asked.
"They wouldn't come anywhere near the trucks if we stuck together," Blake explained. "Like they kept a good sixty feet away or more." The girls' eyes widened and they were temporarily speechless, so Blake took the opportunity to continue. "We actually ran into a Goliath standing in the middle of our route and Torchwick didn't make us turn. We moved straight at it, and it backed off! The Goliath even knocked down a tree or two trying to stay away."
"Impossible," Yang mumbled.
"Umm," Ruby asked. "What's a Goliath?"
"It is a massive Grimm that congregates near large settlements," Weiss explained. "They are very old and some scholars think they have begun to develop a modicum amount of intelligence. They don't seem to approach the actual settlements though. Not only are they several stories tall, their hide is supposed to be like armor." Then she turned to Blake. "It retreated? Without a fight?" Blake nodded.
"You should have seen the panic it instilled when we spotted it," Blake laughed dryly. "And then Torchwick ordered us to charge right at it. When it moved out of the way, well, the White Fang no longer doubts him now, which is bad news for us."
"What happened next?" Yang asked, her undivided attention now on Blake.
"We traveled to a plateau for a Bullhead to pick up the dust," Blake continued. "That's when Torchwick decided to reveal how he kept the Grimm away."
"Oh!" Ruby exclaimed. "It was that boy you mentioned, right?" Everyone turned and stared at her. "She mentioned him and said that it was the interesting part…" Her voice got softer and she looked at the ground, as she tapped her index fingers together.
"Don't be stupid," Weiss sighed. "How could a person do something like-…?"
"It was the boy's doing," Blake confirmed. Weiss snapped her mouth shut and Ruby looked up excitedly. "He told me his name was Touma Kamijou, though Torchwick only told everyone his last name, and his Semblance seems to keeps Grimm back. They act like they are afraid of him. I first saw him in the warehouse and noticed him staring at me. Then there is the fact-…"
"Wait!" Yang interrupted. Everyone turned to her. "Let me get this straight. A boy around our age kept staring at you and introduced himself?"
"Yes," Blake admitted. "But-…"
"He totally was into you, Blakey," Yang pointed out and started laughing. Blake opened her mouth to argue, but she really couldn't. He kind of admitted that to her.
"I can't believe this," Weiss sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
"Don't tell us you are planning to date him!" Ruby gasped and flailed her arms. "You can't go out with a terrorist. Imagine all the problems-…"
"I'm not!" Blake interrupted loudly, but her partner kept at it.
"Did you use your Bellabooty?" Yang asked curiously and tilted her head so she could stare at Blake's butt. "I know that thing was powerful, but to hypnotize a random stranger, nice job!" She gave a thumbs up.
"Stop!" Blake half-shouted. "Regardless of what he was thinking," her cheeks flushed slightly at the thought, "the point is there was more to him than looks that attracted my attention." Yang started to open her mouth, but Blake was having none of that. "He didn't have an Aura!" She huffed for a moment while her team went silent at the unexpected announcement.
"What?!" they finally gasped.
"You mean his Aura wasn't unlocked and he had a Semblance?" Weiss asked to clarify. "Because-…"
"He had no Aura at all," Blake amended. "Unlocked or otherwise." There was another moment of silence.
"How?" Ruby finally whispered. "Aura is a sign a soul exists. If he doesn't have one, is he a Grimm?" Yang and Weiss kept glancing back and forth between the two.
"No," Blake replied and shook her head. "At least, I don't think so. We talked a bit… after I made a mistake."
"Mistake?" Yang asked. "You didn't act on his advances, right?" Blake scowled at her.
"His… interest… caused the enforcer Neo to take notice," Blake explained through gritted teeth. "A few other members mentioned he was her 'boy toy' and not to bother him."
"Boy toy?" Ruby asked with a blank expression. "Is that like a close friend you play with? If so, since Jaune is my closest male friend, is he my… mumph?" She was muffled as Yang covered Ruby's mouth with her hand.
"No!" she snapped at her sister. "It's something bad and you should never repeat that to anyone. If you ever say that about someone, I'm breaking your toy." Ruby tried to argue, but Yang kept her hand firmly placed against Ruby's mouth.
"Neo noticed he was looking at me," Blake continued and deliberately avoided Yang's expression by glancing over at Weiss. "She must have mentioned it to Torchwick, who noticed I was the same Faunus from the docks. He waited until we were on the plateau before revealing me. That way, I was surrounded by White Fang. If I managed to escape them, I had to get through a wall of Grimm."
"This is why we told you to stop doing this on your own," Weiss sighed. "You obviously escaped, but how?"
"I actually didn't," Blake admitted and Ruby gasped. "I was planning to use the boy to escape, but then he touched me and everything changed." She shivered at the thought of what happened when Touma's hand negated her Aura. However, her roommates thought of something completely different because of her pause and they all gasped. Yang rushed forward and hugged her surprise partner out of nowhere.
"It will be okay, Blake," Yang whispered reassuringly. "You are safe now and we are here for you." Her hair was beginning to stand up on end and her body was generating a lot of heat.
"When we find that boy," Weiss whispered in cold fury. "We are going to castrate him slowly and painfully."
"He bad touched Blake?" Ruby cried in outrage. "Dad said if someone ever tried to bad touch me, I was supposed to use Crescent Rose and take their family jewels. I don't condone stealing, but this time that guy has gone too far!" Blake blinked and realized her timing at getting lost in thought was terrible.
"Woah!" Blake had to shout to get their attention. "That did not happen. You are misunderstanding everything!" Yang let go of Blake and looked at her closely.
"So he did not touch you like that?" Yang asked to clear everything up.
"No!"
"You need to be clearer then!" Yang yelled. "When you trailed off like that… I thought you might have been…" Blake did something she usually didn't do. She actually hugged Yang back.
"Thank you for your concern," Blake said, now in control. Weiss and Ruby sighed in relief. "But I was thinking about how his Semblance's secondary use is based on touch."
"Semblances don't have multiple powers," Weiss pointed out. "Each one is a single unique skill."
"Maybe it's all connected somehow," Blake replied and actually threw up her hands. "I can't explain it. With a single touch, my Aura completely vanished and Neo was able to knock me out in an instant."
"Vanished?" Ruby asked.
"Like he broke through it all in one hit?" Yang tried to clarify.
"No, my Aura just vanished when his hand grazed me." Blake struggled to explain the sensation. "All my strength, everything I have been used to over the years provided by my Aura was gone. In all sense, I should have been in an Aura exhaustion state, but I was fine. It felt like I was a normal person again. Without my defense, a single blow knocked me out. It's hard to put the feeling into words."
"Impossible," Weiss stated. "Aura is a part of our very souls. What you described sounds like that guy can suppress or destroy them. You also mentioned he has no Aura of his own." Her gaze darkened. "It almost sounds like he could be a Grimm disguised as a human." Blake tilted her head slightly in thought.
"I don't see any reason for you to lie to us, Blakey," Yang admitted. "But this sounds so far out there."
"How did you escape?" Ruby asked, wide-eyed.
"Surprisingly," Blake continued. "Torchwick or one of the White Fang didn't kill me on the spot. They bound me instead and left me in a vehicle while they unloaded. Touma Kamijou came over and talked to me for a few minutes, before he loosened my bindings after I warned him about Torchwick. I think he must have come from a village without Faunus, because he didn't seem to possess a lot of common knowledge. I feel Torchwick might have tricked Touma into helping him."
"That sounds like him," Ruby complained. "He always acted like a smooth talker and doesn't care about anyone besides himself."
"You don't trust easily," Yang pointed out, after she turned to Blake. "Why do you think Torchwick tricked him?"
"He helped me escape when I was surrounded by Grimm," Blake stated. "I had the option of fighting Torchwick, Neo, and the White Fang, or flee and try to get through a mob of Grimm. I chose the latter. There was a moment I was about to die, when Touma rushed forward and chased all the Grimm away. He had told me his hand negates anything supernatural and this negation power might be what caused fear in the Grimm. They supposedly disappear with a touch. Once the Grimm were pushed back, I managed to get into the trees and disappear."
"Anything supernatural?" Weiss repeated. "Grimm, Aura, and maybe dust?" Blake shrugged.
"I couldn't really test the last one and everything else was observation."
"Wow," Yang muttered and sat down. "Not sure what I think about that guy, but he did save you, so he can't be all bad."
"The question now is," Weiss spoke up. "What do we do with this information?"
"Maybe let Professor Ozpin know?" Ruby suggested.
"Hey, Weiss Cream," Yang suddenly said. "You think this guy could be related to our guests?"
"Your guests?" Blake asked curiously.
"I wouldn't be all surprised," Weiss answered, after a pause and a nod. "They have unusual powers without unlocked Aura, so this Touma Kamijou character could easily be one of them. His ability seems a little… too convenient though…"
"I feel like I'm missing something important," Blake mumbled.
"… A power that destroys Grimm? From what Last Order told us, there are no Grimm in their world."
"Oh!" Ruby exclaimed. "Blake, you totally have to meet Last Order. She's a kid we found and brought back here and it turned out Team JNPR had been looking for her for someone else. She's really nice and funny and can shoot electricity!" Blake blinked and turned to Ruby, Weiss, and Yang in order.
"Will someone explain what you three have been talking about?" she asked.
"You will love this," Yang laughed. "You aren't the only one who was busy yesterday. Wait till you hear this story. It is out of this world…" Ruby and Weiss booed, as Yang explained yesterday's events.
Once she finished, Blake booed her joke too.
Where the hell am I?
Accelerator opened his eyes and found himself in a white room. Recognizing a hospital recovery room, he flinched. He didn't like hospitals, to many unpleasant memories. He sat up and rubbed his head. The dull pounding was making it hard to think straight. There were several bandages wrapped around his head and he tore them off in frustration before thinking it though. There wasn't any blood on them and he crushed them within his hand. He sat up and stretched to check out his joints. A mirror on the wall caught his eye and he moved off the bed to take a look. He was dressed in a green gown, but otherwise appeared fine. He scratched his neck automatically and froze. His eye darted toward the collar on his neck and the mirror confirmed his suspicion.
The battery was gone.
"What the fuck!" he shouted. This was an impossible situation for him. The collar on his neck allowed him to connect to the Misaka Network, the wireless network created by nearly ten thousand clones. This connection gave his brain the processing capacity to perform all basic motor functions, such as walking, since he received a bullet to the head when he protected Last Order. Being able to perform advance calculations also was the core of his ability. Abilities in Academy City were based on mathematical calculations, so the smarter the ability user, the stronger they were. Accelerator was the number one level 5, also known as the strongest. With the battery missing, he shouldn't be able to connect and thus be unable to walk. In fact, he shouldn't be able to perform even basic motor functions. Counting to ten on his fingers was impossible in that state. Accelerator held out his hand and accessed his ability. The air in his palm began to rotate as he altered the vectors. His eyes widened in shock.
Think, he told himself. After the damn hero and I grabbed the brat, that bastard said something about time and space. There was a flash of green light and I ended up in a forest. I started losing processing power when… He frowned to himself. Those black and white things showed up. Regardless of their appearance, it wasn't like he had trouble with them, until he was about to collapse from losing access to the network. Things got blurry here. I remember a blonde idiot and some others killing the creatures. I asked him something, but what was it? His eyes widened. The brat! He was supposed to find her for me. I swear if he didn't, I will slaughter-… His thoughts were interrupted when a woman dressed in white rushed into the room.
"I heard shouting!" the nurse gasped. "Is everything okay… sir, you shouldn't be out of bed!" Accelerator turned slightly to examine her with one eye. His expression remained neutral with just a hint of irritation.
"Where am I and what did you do to me?" he asked coldly. Once he knew what happened, he could plan his next step. The guy he had talked to obviously brought his unconscious form to the hospital, so asking why he was here was pointless.
"You are in the med bay at Beacon Academy," the nurse told him. "A couple of our students brought you here, but you shouldn't be up and about. We just finished healing your brain injury and you should be resting."
"Healed… my injury?" Accelerator repeated surprised. That took a moment to process. Even Academy City's technology couldn't heal the brain tissue damaged by the bullet. The collar and network had been a work around. He turned back toward the mirror and ignored the woman, who continued to talk. A hand brushed away his bangs and he saw the tiny scar from his injury on his forehead was gone. What kind of technology does this place have? Beacon Academy, huh? Never heard of it, but that's not important. Time to get dressed, find the brat, and take her home. My ability only makes that easier. "Where are my clothes?" Accelerator impatiently asked the woman.
"They are in the other room, but you need to wait until the doctor-…"
"Bring them here," Accelerator ordered her and increased his glare. If she had known who he was, she probably would have screamed and run. He was not in the mood to talk and had to find the brat before she wound up in trouble.
"Sir, you need to sit back down." Her devotion to her job was admirable, but irritated the hell out of Accelerator. He rolled his eyes and reached a hand over to the mirror. He actually felt a twinge of sympathy for the woman, who was only doing her job, but he had his own priorities. There was a language that broke even the most dedicated person.
Violence.
The mirror shattered and sent glass across the room. The woman let out a scream.
"Looks like I can't stay here," Accelerator told her with a sneer. "Glass everywhere. Your cleanup crew should be fired." He took a step forward and the stone ground beneath him cracked. "Now, you can get my clothes, or I will get them myself." The woman's face drained of color and she stepped back as he approached. Her words seemed to get stuck in her throat. However, she was saved by the arrival of a man behind her sipping a mug of coffee.
"I would appreciate it if you could avoid destroying my school," Ozpin commented lightly, as he stepped up next to the woman.
"Headmaster!" she gasped.
"Please go and collect his clothes," Ozpin told her. "I will take full responsibility." The woman nodded and took off. Accelerator's eyes narrowed when they met Ozpin's eyes. It took only a fraction of a second for him to understand. Ozpin was not a naïve adult. He had been involved in something Accelerator was used to, the darkness hidden in the shadows away from the general population. Ozpin's expression could not hide the tragedies he had seen from his gaze. It was something Accelerator could relate to though, and that meant their exchange would end up in one of two ways, blunt or full of secrets. He also had the feeling this man was not someone to trifle with, but he pushed that aside. Very few people could barely entertain him, let alone hope to win.
"Who are you?" Accelerator asked. He was a little on guard, mainly because his ability felt a little off. The calculations required were slightly more difficult, not much, but it was noticeable to him. The healing he received might not have been perfect.
"I am Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy. I have been monitoring your progress and rushed over here as soon as I heard you were about to wake up." He waited a moment for Accelerator to introduce himself, but a couple seconds passed and Ozpin continued. "I have good and bad news for you, Accelerator." Accelerator gave no outward sign saying how he felt about Ozpin knowing his name. "Most of which can't be discussed in a public location. Once you get dressed, we should talk in my office. Ah, here are your clothes." The woman had rushed back and put Accelerator's folded clothes on the bed, before making a hasty escape. Accelerator grabbed his shirt.
"I have something more important to do than talk," Accelerator snapped and started to throw on his clothes, regardless of the man still in the room.
"Do you mean finding your young female acquaintance?" Ozpin asked. Accelerator froze.
"What did you do to her?" Accelerator hissed and the temperature of the room dropped. "You have no idea-…"
"Last Order is currently in the company of a handful of my students," Ozpin told him. "They recently had what they refer to as a sleepover last night. She actually visited you yesterday to make sure you were okay too. I had promised to let her know when you woke up, but I do wish to speak to you privately first. If you are willing, of course. You may find yourself in an unusual situation." Accelerator raised an eyebrow, while Ozpin sipped his coffee. Finally, Accelerator sighed and rubbed his head.
"Your staff healed me," he said. "That should have been impossible. So I suppose hearing you out is the least I could do, unless I decide our conversation is a waste of time. Though, I want proof the brat is safe or you get nothing." Ozpin nodded and reached into his pocket to pull out his scroll, which Accelerator identified as a type pf cellphone he had not seen before. A second late, he saw a picture of Last Order riding the back of the tall blonde guy he had met in the forest.
"So that idiot found him," Accelerator muttered. "Wasn't sure I could believe in him."
"Mr. Arc takes his word very seriously," Ozpin told him. "He comes from a large family and is treating her like a younger sister until you return."
"I suppose so," Accelerator relented. "If anything happens to her though, I'm coming for you after I take care of him."
"I doubt that situation will arise." Accelerator finished dressing and they left the medical ward. "We could stop by the kitchen if you would like something to eat. It has been almost a day, since you arrived."
"Afterwards," Accelerator huffed. "I rather get our talk over with. Though, I won't say no to some coffee."
"I have a fresh pot in my office," Ozpin commented. "But it might be a little strong for you."
"Perfect." Accelerator followed him down the hall and two girls and two guys passed them after greeting Ozpin. They did glance at Accelerator for a moment as they passed. Accelerator only looked at them because one of them had a pair of rabbit ears sticking out of her hair. Can't see why people like to wear those kinds of accessories. Pretty realistic though, they can move. After traveling up an elevator, they finally arrived at Ozpin's office. While Ozpin walked over to his coffee machine, Accelerator moved toward the large window and looked out. What the hell is this? I am definitely not in Academy City. It's a school surrounded by a forest. How far away did that self-proclaimed magician blast us? The sound of a mug being sat down on a table caused him to turn.
"How do you take it?" Ozpin asked.
"Black."
"Respectable." Ozpin slid the coffee across to him and Accelerator sipped it
He blinked.
"Too strong?" Ozpin asked and there was a hint of a smirk.
"No," Accelerator answered and determinedly kept his voice calm. The coffee he just drank, there was no other word for it, incredible. What sludge have I been drinking up to now? My favorite brand might as well have been dirt. He tried to keep his expression disinterested, but he could have sworn a light was shining on him. The coffee was like the nectar of the gods and now all other coffee was ruined for him. "Don't you have something more important to talk to me about?" He sat down across the table from Ozpin.
"Ah, yes," Ozpin said and leaned back in his chair. "I suppose I should start with the big news and work from there. You see Accelerator, when Mr. Arc and his friend Ms. Rose came into my office yesterday, they brought your young associate, Last Order." Accelerator nodded, pleased to learn how Ozpin knew his name. "I found out something interesting from her. Am I correct that she was right about you being from Academy City in Japan, which is located on Earth?"
"Yes," Accelerator acknowledged. "But what's the damn planet have to do with anything."
"I regret to inform you that you are on a world called Remnant," Ozpin explained. "It seems that you and Ms. Order have somehow been sent to our world." Accelerator blinked and then made a fist.
"I came here because you said you wanted to talk," Accelerator seethed. "And you throw this fucking shit at me? Are you retarded? Don't give me that crap and tell me what you were going to say!"
"Language, please," Ozpin replied calmly. "I can understand your frustration, but you saw signs of things your world does not contain, have you not? Before you met my students, did you know what those creatures were?"
"They were either dark matter clones or bioengineered abominations," Accelerator answered dismissively. "I have seen a lot of advanced technology."
"Those things are called Grimm," Ozpin said seriously and Accelerator frowned. "Creatures of destruction that pray on the light of this world."
"Fine," Accelerator huffed and then rolled his eyes. "I have seen some pretty messed up things in my life, including something people called an angel wipe out armies, so I'll bite. Where do these Grimm come from?"
"That is a question humanity has been trying to answer for a long time," Ozpin replied and sipped his coffee. "There are many theories created throughout the years. The earliest human cultures believed the Grimm were animals possessed by evil spirits or even the tortured spirits of animals. Though, Grimm not resembling creatures have emerged. It is hard to understand something when you can't study it. You see, when Grimm die, they dissolve into smoke. If kept in captivity for too long, they will die."
"I take it you have your own theory then?" Accelerator asked.
"Why do you say that?"
"A couple reasons," Accelerator answered. "Rather than telling me one of the fake theories, you gave me a couple and then admitted they were wrong." His eyes narrowed. "This will go much easier if you just tell me what you know and let me draw my own damn conclusion."
"Very well," Ozpin agreed. He was impressed at the boy's deductive skills. "There is a story called, The Tale of Two Brothers. Two brothers existed on Remnant, long before humans or Grimm. They created both life and destruction. The older brother created water, plants, and wildlife during the day, while at night, the younger brother would discover his sibling's creations and become disgusted. He created drought, fire and famine to counter it. For a while, things were in balance, but then it became apparent life had a strong will to endure. Thus, the younger god created the Creatures of Grimm. He designed them so that they would have an innate desire to destroy everything."
"Great," Accelerator sighed and leaned back in his chair bored. "Mythology. I get enough of that from the damn hero and nun, yet I suppose you can never escape it, when something has yet to be explained by science."
"Didn't you mention you fought an angel once?" Ozpin questioned with a smirk.
"Allegedly." Accelerator sipped his coffee. "I take it there is more to this story?"
"The older brother proposed a unique solution," Ozpin continued. "They would work together and create a masterpiece they could both be proud of. The younger brother agreed and the two gods wielded their power as one to create a creature that was gifted with knowledge, creation, destruction, and choice. Most importantly, this creature could choose to use their power for light or dark. Can you guess what was created?"
"Humanity." It was not a question.
"Correct." Ozpin stopped and looked curiously at her Accelerator. "Is something wrong?"
"No," Accelerator stated firmly, but it was a lie. Ozpin's description of humanity actually resonated with him. Accelerator was not a Saint by any means. He had killed many people in his life. At a young age, he developed his vector manipulation and quickly became an outcast due to it. People were either afraid or jealous of him. Trash kept attacking him hoping to get the title of the strongest for themselves, and they left broken and weeping. This weight slowly piled on his shoulders, as it became his daily life. He had eventually wanted power so great, that no one would be foolish enough to oppose him. In pursuit of that, he had joined an experiment to kill twenty thousand clones of another level 5. However, after killing slightly over ten thousand of them, he was stopped, by a single person who the city had considered the weakest among them.
Touma Kamijou, the one he usually referred to as the damn hero.
Accelerator had been defeated. After recovering and wandering around lost in thought, he met Last Order. Last Order had told him the clones had forgiven him and that it was thanks to his participation in the experiment, they had been born. Accelerator had not necessary been happy, but he had let her follow him home. Soon after, several people had tried to kidnap her and Accelerator fought them. His power had only been used up to that point to destroy and he didn't believe he could save people, but things changed that day. He had saved her from a virus that could have infected all the clones, but he paid a terrible cost for that act of bravery. He had not been able to protect himself from a bullet. That was what caused his brain injury and his reliance on the network.
Even after that, he had hurt and killed many people until he ended up in Russia. He was seeking treatment for Last Order because, even with all his power, he could not save her life from a strange ailment. Scientists in Academy City had sent a new type of clone to kill him and he had gone insane, almost killing everyone near him. Touma had to save him once again. Once his mind had been cleared, he managed to find a group of people who proclaimed they could use something outside of science, magic. Accelerator didn't really care what they called it, as long as they saved the girl while he fought the thing people called an angel. Something awoke within him after admitting he cared about her. Using the new power, he reflected golden light raining down from the sky that threatened the world below him. He had used his power to protect, proving the scientists back home wrong about him. "Just, remembering a few things," Accelerator finished.
"I see," Ozpin commented. He had recognized the look in Accelerator's eyes. They were full of regret and pain, yet there was a slight speck of hope. "I too have memories that well up unexpectedly. I saw the understanding in your eyes. It is sad to see one so young experience something so traumatic. We all make mistakes in our lives, some more costly than others."
"I understand that far more than you would believe," Accelerator mumbled. "I can hardly be considered naive and I don't live in a world with Grimm."
"Grimm have caused many young children to grow up faster than they should." Ozpin's eyes looked down at his mug for a moment and then he looked back up. "As much as I would like to say you and your friend are safe here, that would be a lie. We are fighting a war and losing, but the general populace can hardly be made aware of this."
"Why not?" Accelerator asked. "Wouldn't that make it easier to recruit or draft them, or force military rule. Based on my experience, the military would jump at this opportunity."
"You see that in Atlas," Ozpin explained. "But Vale would hardly allow that to happen. They are to use to freedom. The reason the populace is not informed of this is because Grimm are attracted to negative emotions, like fear and sadness. If the population grew fearful, what would happen?"
"Grimm from all over the area would rush in," Accelerator answered the obvious question. He didn't understand how Grimm could sense negative emotions, but he was in a different world supposedly, so he had to make some adjustments to what was considered normal. "I take it you have ways to fight them though?"
"Besides technology, which sounds like something you would be used to, we have two main resources at our disposal. Aura and Dust."
"And those are?"
"Dust is our main source of energy," Ozpin explained. "Dust is a naturally occurring, crystallized energy mined from the ground. Different colors have different properties, like fire, water, and electricity. We use it to power our homes, vehicles, and even weapons for the military and Hunters." Accelerator raised an eyebrow. "Hunters are people trained to fight Grimm. This school is a training ground for Hunters." Accelerator nodded. "Aura is the manifestation of our soul. Anyone with a soul can use Aura once it is unlocked." He leaned forward slightly. "Even you have it, which proves that you have a soul." Accelerator scoffed. "Unlocked Aura provides us with increased strength, a protective barrier, healing, and a Semblance. You might be familiar with the last one. Everyone with unlocked Aura has a Semblance once they discovered it. It is a unique ability for them. For example, speed, clones, or fire. I believe Ms. Order has an electrical power you refer to as an Ability? While you control Vectors?"
"Yes," Accelerator admitted. He didn't ask how Ozpin knew that because there was no doubt Last Order blabbed it to everyone. Instead, he held out his hand and the wind began to twist within. It was one of the simplest methods of showing his ability without destroying something. A small vortex appeared and a few papers blew off Ozpin's desk before he stopped. "This is just a taste, but so far you haven't done anything to worth destroying your office."
"I appreciate that," Ozpin thanked him. "Aura does have one more use though. When combined with dust, it allows us to use magic."
"Of course," Accelerator said sarcastically. "I'm just going to roll with this. It's no crazier than anything else you said today."
"Do you have anything you want to ask me?" Ozpin inquired. "I'm afraid I've been the one who has been going on and on."
"Let's see, you said this was a school for Hunters, right?" Ozpin nodded as confirmation. "In other words, this school is designed by you to create tools to fight Grimm?"
"I would prefer you phased that better," Ozpin sighed. "But, in a way, you are correct. Every one of them will be used to protect humanity from the Grimm threat. They chose this path themselves. We inspect each applicants' transcripts to ensure they meet the minimum standards, and then we have initiation. With a few exceptions on a case by case basis, we still require applicants to survive initiation before they join us."
"Sounds like you throw your prospects off a cliff into a Grimm infested pit," Accelerator commented. He actually appreciated Ozpin's bluntness slightly.
"In a manner of speaking," Ozpin replied, not betraying a single speck of emotion. Accelerator raised an eyebrow and then grinned.
"You actually do," he said and then laughed. "Wish I had gone to school here instead of back in my city."
"Your praise is appreciated," Ozpin told him with a smile. "Not everyone understands the importance of a landing strategy."
"Been there," Accelerator muttered with another bark like laugh. Jumping out of a plane and crashing into a building while causing an explosion could get addicting if one was not careful. He calmed down pretty quick after he swallowed another mouthful of coffee. "Anyway, next question. You mentioned we are in another world, do you have any idea on how to send us back?"
"Oh?" Ozpin asked and raised an eyebrow. "Are you accepting the fact you are in a different world?"
"I've seen some crazy shit before," Accelerator snapped. "So I'm trying to keep an open mind. Based on what I have seen and heard, it seems possible, no matter how unlikely."
"I see." Ozpin sighed and sat down his mug. "As of now, I do not have any idea how to send you back. I have only met one other person who said he was from another world and he disappeared without assistance." He stood up and walked to the window while Accelerator mumbled a couple profanities under his breath. "Ms. Order told me several things that allowed me to arrive to the conclusion you were from another world, but she did not know what happened shortly before you arrived. Perhaps you could tell me what you remember? It would help immensely getting you two home."
"I suppose I could tell you what I know," Accelerator agreed. "The damn hero and I-…"
"Damn hero?" Ozpin interrupted.
"A guy I know named Touma… damn what was his last name… Kamihou or something. We were chasing a man who called himself a magician. He used a different type of ability than what was invented in Academy City and several groups of people seem to call it magic, because they don't understand the science behind it. He had kidnapped Last Order for some experiment. He actually believed he could use her… unique ability… to become a god." Accelerator didn't trust Ozpin quite enough to go into details. However, Ozpin turned and frowned at his words. "The hero and I stopped him and I guess it broke whatever he was doing. A green light rained down from the sky and the next thing I knew, I'm in a forest."
"And whatever connection you had to your city for the choker disappeared?" Ozpin questioned. Accelerator didn't say anything and Ozpin sat back down. "Our staff examined your choker when you were brought in," he explained. "It was not receiving a signal of any kind."
"Yes." That was all Accelerator was going to say on the matter. That was one of the main reasons he started to believe he was in another world. The Misaka Network should have completely covered the Earth.
"This… magician," Ozpin continued. "What was special about him? What kind of power did he have?"
"He could manipulate water," Accelerator remembered. "And change the temperature of it easily enough to make ice or turn it to steam. Normal attack patterns, such as blades and jets. Why do you want to know?"
"I figured if you and Ms. Order had been sent here," Ozpin explained. "Then it is possible the magician and Mr. Kamihou also arrived."
"Huh." Accelerator thought about that for a moment. "That makes sense. The hero would definitely find himself involved in this somehow. He tends to stick his nose in other people's business."
"What does he look like? Does he have any defining traits?"
"Most of the time he has a clueless expression," Accelerator mumbled. "Always spots stupid spiky black hair and has the most bullshit ability if the crap he told me is true." Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "He said he can negate anything supernatural, whether science or the stuff called magic. My ability doesn't even work on him. If it holds true in your world, your Aura and Semblance won't work on him either."
"I see," Ozpin said softly and his brain started processing this information. The boy Qrow had told him about had to be this person. "I believe this young man is also in Vale."
"Really?"
"One of my contacts mentioned something similar to what you described," Ozpin explained. "The issue is, he seems to have made contact with a renowned criminal and are working together."
"Makes sense," Accelerator responded with a shrug and finished his coffee. Ozpin frowned at this.
"What do you mean? Is he someone we should be worried about?"
"Only if you oppose him," Accelerator answered amused and leaned forward. "He is a blasted hero at heart, even if he won't admit it, but it makes him easily manipulated with words. If this criminal learns he is from a different world and has even a modicum amount of intelligence and cunning, he will make the hero believe anything he wants, but that will come to bite him on the ass later."
"Oh?"
"Eventually, the hero will learn the truth. When that happens, he will do everything in his power to correct his mistake. This would not be the first time it has happened and I would hate to be the manipulator." He laughed and saw the slight confusion on Ozpin's face. "Heh, let me explain. In a normal argument or useless fight, he would easily be defeated. In a fight that matters, he will win. No matter what logic or rational says, he will win. He took on our entire world once for a single girl and won. I fought him three times and lost every time. Though, he cheated and used a rock in our last encounter. So, I'm going to warn you now. If you are trying to deceive me and you are actually on the wrong side of this war, do not cross him. You will lose."
"I will keep that in mind," Ozpin replied mildly and Accelerator was finding it hard to read the man's thoughts. "So I take it you have a long history with this young man."
"He showed me I was mistaken in my goals," Accelerator answered after a short pause. "I owe him a lot, more than I care to admit. I owe a lot of people for what I have done." He turned his gaze up. "I am not a good person. I have killed people before in the pursuit of power. My actions have harmed many and no matter how many good things I do, it is only interest on a debt I can never repay. It's kind of fitting a villain like me got sent into a world at war." Names were not mentioned, but Ozpin understood. Last Order had been a victim of Accelerator's actions and now Accelerator was watching her as a kind of redemption. Accelerator was surprised he revealed that much, but he might have been hyped up on the coffee.
"I can't say everything I have done in the past had a pleasant outcome either," Ozpin told Accelerator. "Many lives were lost because of my mistakes. The only thing we can do about the past is learn from it. The fact you try to do good now is a sign you have changed. I never give up on someone with potential. Beacon has allowed plenty of ex-criminals and terrorists in over the years when they want to change and grow."
"You sound like a couple adults I know," Accelerator huffed. "So what now?"
"What do you mean?"
"If you don't have a way to send us back," Accelerator explained. "What are you planning with us? I have to thank you for watching her while I was unconscious, but I can't see you continuing to help us for free. It's not like we have your currency."
"On the contrary," Ozpin corrected him. "I had already offered Ms. Order the opportunity to sit in on several classes with my students. She seems to have taken a shine to them. We didn't expect you to wake up for a couple days, so we had prepared for her. An extra bed for you will not pose a problem. We can hardly leave you two out in an unfamiliar world either. Our school is more than large enough to accommodate a couple extra people. Besides, this way if I receive any news on your friend, I can let you know."
"If she will be safe here," Accelerator mumbled, more to himself than Ozpin. "I can't see a problem staying for a few days. Give me an understanding of the world and some of this Aura stuff. You going to say I am a transfer student or something?"
"I could," Ozpin said in a tone that he had several ideas. "However, the fact your Aura is not unlocked and yet you have an ability that resembles our Semblances is going to cause some questions."
"Couldn't someone just unlock this Aura or something?" Accelerator asked. "It's not like I'm going to use it."
"That ceremony is considered very personal," Ozpin explained. "Usually done by a parent to child, master to apprentice, or lovers. We can simply say you are a unique case and have been admitted to Beacon when we discovered you. If you tell people you are from a small town outside the walls, there shouldn't be too many prying eyes."
"I'll have to make sure the brat is okay before I agree to anything." Accelerator leaned back and stared at the ceiling for a minute. "Question, if I pretend to be an exchange student, will I be able to fight these Grimm?"
"If your power is as strong as I am led to believe," Ozpin answered. "I see no problems. I'm curious as of why you would want to though?"
"Seems like a therapeutic use of my time," Accelerator said with a shrug. "Stress builds up and not many things can last long when I'm pissed. I also owe you guys for healing me." He pointed to his forehead with finger. "Then there is the fact the brat has been hanging out with your students. If she latches onto them and they explain what they do, she's going to want me to help out. There isn't much else to do for me. I have no clue how to travel between worlds and there is no telling how long we will be here. This seems like a way to earn money if we are forced to have an extended stay." He leaned forward in his chair. "I know this is the damn hero's fault somehow. When I see him, I'm going to shove…" His voice trailed off as he mumbled.
"You have some sound reasons," Ozpin said with a nod, but then grew serious. "But underestimating the Grimm is a deadly mistake. Kingdoms rise and fall, but yet our mortal enemy remains. They are monsters that haunt dreams and patiently wait for us to falter. Even during times of peace, we must be ever vigilant."
"I am no stranger to monsters," Accelerator hissed and leaned forward. "I have stared into the eyes of creatures born into darkness. The difference is, your monsters are not disguised with human skin." The two of them stared at each other in silence.
"So young," Ozpin finally sighed and turned to look out the window. "And yet your experiences surpass so many adults. You remind me of many students who pass through these walls. They are forced to grow up faster than life intended." He stared into space for a moment. "If only the world was as simple as your words made them out to be." There was a moment of silence.
"There are humans who have sided with the Grimm," Accelerator stated and Ozpin turned to look at him. "Which means Grimm are either not mindless or someone is controlling them." Ozpin continued to stare at him. He could have denied Accelerator's words, but such an action would be an insult to both of their intelligence. They both knew he was right and Ozpin began to understand how experienced and intelligent Accelerator really was.
"We all have a choice," he finally answered. "But we must also accept the consequences." He sighed and picked up his mug. He didn't speak until he finished it. "Now to fulfill my promise, would you like me to take you to where Ms. Order is? Team RWBY and JNPR should be enjoying breakfast by now."
"Actually," Accelerator suggested. "Could you avoid telling her I'm awake for a little bit?" Ozpin raised an eyebrow.
"May I inquire about the reason?"
"This is a school for Hunters," Accelerator repeated with a huge smirk on his face. "I assume there are rooms with some kind of battle simulation, right?"
"We have many training rooms," Ozpin acknowledged. "Automatic turrets and drones are the most common in order to improve our students' reaction and awareness. We can hardly keep a large amount of Grimm captive for them to practice against."
"That's fine," Accelerator said and flexed his fingers. "Since you healed me, something has been slightly off and I want to see exactly what I'm working with. If I'm not at one hundred percent, I need to know what my power is capable of."
"An excellent idea," Ozpin agreed and pressed a button on his scroll. "Glynda, could you come to my office? I need you to guide a new student to the training room for some tests."
"In the middle of the year?" Accelerator heard a woman say. "You really like to push the envelope. I will be there in three minutes." She hung up and Ozpin smiled.
"Glynda Goodwitch is a teacher at this school," Ozpin told Accelerator. "You will be in several of her classes and she will oversee your practice in the training rooms. We need to make sure your ability is at a certain level. From our talk, I notice you need to be rather blunt. When speaking with her, please either use Miss or Professor."
"I suppose I can try," Accelerator mumbled. "Maybe if I'm kept with a supply of this coffee, it will keep me even tempered."
"Normally, we give students a different brew, but I suppose an exception can be made in this case, if you pass Glynda's evaluation." Accelerator raised an eyebrow. "But do avoid trying to destroy the training room. Droids are easily fixed, buildings can take longer." Accelerator grinned deviously.
"No promises."
