Willow, Winter, Weiss, Whitley and Weiss-II were in a room together. Winter was a bit peeved when she found out that Jaune could have used his magic to create a less barbaric abode in Monster Hunter: World. However, with Jaune's answer, she understood.
Jaune told her, 'I didn't want to give you any special treatment. I wanted you all to experience a life where your name is nothing more than a name. Did you not enjoy people looking at you for who you are and not who you represent? Did you not enjoy being one of the guys rather than some elitist snub?'.
The Schnee family smiled at Jaune. His wording was crude, but it held its meaning well. It was here that Winter truly knew what her mother saw in Jaune. Name, prestige, money, they mean nothing to Jaune. When Jaune started dating Willow, he did so because he liked her, not because he had an ulterior motive. With this realisation, Winter felt lighter and less on guard with Jaune. She didn't even know she was still on guard with him.
Back in the room with the gathering of the Schnee, Weiss-II wanted to speak, but unlike Weiss, she hasn't fully gotten rid of her high-class nature.
"So…I wanted to know…." Weiss-II said. "Why is this so hard? I just wanted to know how you all seemed different from my world. Willow looks happier than she has ever been. Whitley isn't the same snobby person, although he was improving in my world. And Winter, you seemed…".
"Less uptight?" Winter said. "You can thank Jaune for that. I thought that concentrating on my career as a specialist was something I wanted, but Jaune made me realise that it was just me running away from trouble.
As you know, I joined the military since it was the fastest way of getting out of Jacques' control. Over time, I didn't realise that I was still afraid of him gaining control over me, even after he died in our world".
"Wait? Jacques is dead in your world?" Weiss-II asked. Willow nodded at her. "H-How did he die?".
"He died during a prison transport," Willow said. "According to the news and the reports from Ironwood, Jacques was being transported to a permanent prison cell along with a few assassins that were caught. Turns out, these assassins were from an organisation that got arrested due to Jacques".
"So, they took out their anger on him?" Weiss-II said. "Well, that's what happens when you work with shady people. He got what's coming to him".
"How about in your world?" Winter said. "Is Jacques still the head of the S.D.C.?".
"No, he was arrested due to conspiring with a terrorist named Arthur Watts," Weiss-II said. "It was his fault people in Mantle became even more miserable than they already were. With his pea-sized brain, Jacques thought it would be a good idea to give high authorisation to a criminal. Turns out he was trying to rig the system to be a councilman".
"That's Jacques for you," Willow said. "Doing everything shady he can to get what he wants. Nothing he does is fair and square".
"Weiss? Can I ask? You seem very close to Jaune," Weiss-II said. "Did he ever serenade you at Beacon?".
"Jaune? No, he did not," Weiss said. "I don't think he has even been interested in me that way. Although, during the Beacon dance. I felt my heart beat hard for him. But I don't think I have such feelings for him. It was probably a spur of the moment thing".
"Huh? I thought he would have sang for you," Weiss-II said. She then shivered at the memory. "I remember the days Jaune would serenade me at Beacon. It was not pleasant. In fairness, I thought he had an ulterior motive at the time and was the reason I always turned him down".
"You didn't like Jaune's singing?" Weiss said. "That's very surprising. When Jaune sang me a personalised happy birthday song for me, it was beautiful".
"Whoa! Your Jaune can sing?!" Weiss-II said. "My one had a screechy voice. It was not very good. Even his guitar skills were not that great".
"I don't know about his guitar skills," Weiss said. "But his piano skills were great! Here, I recorded a video of his performance during my birthday".
Weiss should Weiss-II Jaune's performance. Weiss-II's heart skipped a beat.
"Holy Oum! I would have totally fallen for him if Jaune sang that well when he serenaded me," Weiss-II said. "There is no doubt about it. How did you not end up falling for him?".
"Well, I don't know why, but Jaune felt different from our age group," Weiss said. "It almost felt like being around an older person. Don't get me wrong, he's goofy most of the time".
"Well, your instinct about Jaune is well-founded," Willow said. "According to Jaune himself, he is legally 18-years-old soon. But chronologically, he is around 49-years-old. He has been training in a special place that moves faster than Remnant".
"He truly is fascinating," Winter said. "Hmm…The way he thinks and acts is not someone who conforms to the societal norm. He does what he wants as long as he isn't harming anyone. That's the type of person I see Jaune as".
"He's cool, right?" Whitley said. "He scared the living daylights out of me when he discovered my secret love for comics and heroes. I never would have thought that Jaune would be a lover of comics as well. He just doesn't have that thing when you look at him and think, 'Oh, that guy is a nerd', or, 'That guy loves comics',".
"Well, if you saw how the Jaune of my world used to be," Weiss-II said. "Then you would immediately have that feeling. Jaune was not the most confident person when I met him. Half the time, he would have this false bravado, which is another reason I thought he had an ulterior motive for asking me out".
"Ahem! Wiess-II? Can I ask about myself in your world?" Willow said. "What am I like before you arrived in our world?".
"That's the thing," Weiss-II said. "I'm shocked to see you very happy because, in my world, you were still the same drunk mother. Seeing you has made me realise that the way I've acted has not helped you in any way to get better. When I get back to my version of Remnant, I'm determined to help bring the family together, except for Jacques".
While Weiss and the others were speaking, Jaune was with Scáthach while the rest of R.W.B.Y.J. the second, was chilling out in the base Jaune made.
"How have you been?" Jaune said as he kissed Scáthach. "I missed you so much. Half a year away from you is too much for me. The only time I've ever been away from you this long is when I use (Martial Arts Practice) since I don't feel the flow of time".
"Jaune? Why does Willow seem to be connected to you like Tiamat and me?" Scáthach said. "You didn't happen to do what you did with Tiamat, did you?".
"That's the thing, I didn't," Jaune said. "I think it happened when I slept with her because I did feel like we became closer".
"Hmm…I guess I have a way to see who you sleep with," Scáthach said. "Though, I doubt you're the type of person that would just sleep around with women".
"Blah!" Jaune gagged. "No thanks. I don't have any sexual attraction to people I'm not close with. Unless I have a connection to a person, I don't think I'll ever do something that intimate. Even Willow, I've gotten to know her for a few months before I even considered sleeping with her".
"Oh, Jaune, I have to ask," Scáthach said. "What are you going to do with Pyrrha and Haruhime? I know you've figured out they got it hard for you".
"I'm not going to do anything," Jaune said. "Especially with Haruhime. I overheard my sisters speaking with her, and apparently, you've given her permission to pursue me, but she hasn't done anything. At least with Pyrrha, she doesn't know that you allow me to date other women".
"Hmm…I think I have an idea," Scáthach said. "This should be quite interesting".
"By the way, why do you even allow other women to pursue me?" Jaune asked. "I thought you would have swatted other women that shows interest in me".
"In the beginning, I allowed it because you are the type of person that would destroy themselves if he can't make the people he cares about happy," Scáthach said. "But then, when we slept together, that cemented my decision to allow other women to be with you.
You are simply insatiable and don't even deny it. I know that I get exhausted quicker than you by a mile. While I'm satisfied, you are not".
"Sorry about that," Jaune said. "I don't know why, but I have a massive libido".
"You have nothing to apologies about, Jaune," Scáthach said. "Now, while everyone is busy doing their thing, why don't we go somewhere else and do our own thing?".
"That's quite adventurous of you," Jaune said. "I like it! Let's go!".
Jaune then carried Scáthach in a bridal carry, and he brought her to a cave behind a waterfall and set up wards to keep people and creatures away. There, no one would be able to hear them. He created a bed, and they got busy.
