Nerdy: Hey guys, Nerdy here. We just finished this chapter but Bloody's a bit stressed atm so i'm going to take care of the reviews. And oh boy, there's quite a bit! We appreciate all this support and hope you continue to enjoy our work. Anyway, on to the reviews.
CommandoSquirrel - Jaune doesn't feel comfortable doing such a thing, even to criminals. Although it might come up at some point *wink wink*.
Asonia99 - well, this chapter should prove that he's maning up lol.
Luckypickl3 - always appreciate seeing you.
Korst - ohhhhhh boy. Look, I'm not gonna bullshit around here, your comments were pretty nasty. I don't mind constructive criticism but what you gave was just being rude for no reason. Now I personally am mature enough to not get mad at such a thing but Bloody was pretty damn annoyed when he saw your comments. In fact, part of the reason I'm choosing to answer the reviews by myself this time is because I don't want him stressing out over your remarks, as well as subjecting the rest of the readers to the swear words he would give. He actually told me before to skip what you said entirely but I feel that that would be seen as ignoring comments that are criticism. In any case, if you'd like to have a proper conversation about the issues you have with our work, please DM me and I'll gladly talk with you. My name in fanfiction is VideoGameNerds btw. Also, anyone else who wants to message me, feel free to.
Wolfang21 - Thanks. Jaune will definitely need to work hard to protect his harem instead of them always protecting him.
246vili - Indeed. Pyrrha is gonna be in for one HELL of a time *bangs drums*. Okay, sorry for the bad joke lol.
Kitsune obsessed freak - we really should get an editor sometime to help with those bad spelling mistakes lol. And no problem, I could tell you weren't intending to be a dick like a certain other dude in the review section.
Skeletalrepublic - thank you for the kind words. I personally was against the Origin idea at first but bloody insisted we go with it and quite frankly, since most of you seem to like it, I'm glad we went with it.
Minally22 - lol, the story's only just getting started my friend.
Jinxcurse - I don't get the reference.
Guest - don't worry, it's all part of the plan. And yeah, we know that about monica. Vanripper releases some funny ass comics lol.
Lordnoobreview - look, i'm not gonna lie, I didn't enjoy the loremaster update to helltaker. I personally think it wasn't a good idea to tell the story in that way, not to mention how there's no explanation for what happened, though I guess that will be explained in the future comics. Either way, I didn't like it. That being said though, kudos to all that did. To answer your question though, the most we will do is take the designs and apply them differently here. But that's about all.
All American actor - Well check out this chapter.
The Sanctum Selection was a very exciting event to view, truly, and he even made a new friend. Even if said friend proved to be Sanctum's joy and pride, Pyrrha Nikos. He had no idea who she was until the announcer loudly proclaimed her title and everything, and even then he was just as surprised as any normal human would be. She really did seem like your average Huntress in training to him, but guess appearances can deceive, huh?
Still, that changed little in terms of his situation, especially since he got the new shield from the smith in Mistral during their time there, which made Judgement amp up his training to build more mass. Why? Because this new shield was made to hold two swords, she said that dual-wielding needs more muscle mass since he will be keeping the shield away when using both swords. Granted, he was not going to use Clarent anytime soon, that sword still being somewhat wild in his hands.
I mean, Ignium's weapon was apparently alive, so who says Clarent isn't the same? A question to ask the demons later, but for now? For now, Judgement was putting him through the wringer again, and Lucifer, Modeus, and Beel were watching from the covered seats, all of them dressed in winter jackets, even though Modeus protested to the idea, saying that if he went through it so did she, but it was clearly just a ploy to strip before him and try seducing him with her body.
The steel doors were being very useful to prevent her from sneaking into his room at night.
Cerberus was also there, helping with his training, Azazel, the sisters, Justice, and Pandemonica being inside, doing their own things. And what were the girls doing this time? Well, for starters, he was only in jeans. Secondly, he was running all around the courtyard, trying to escape a very fast Cerberus who was chasing him, which was more difficult as she was able to chase him from three different directions. Luckily for him, he did pick up a trick.
"We got you now!" The triple demon shouted at once, coming from all available directions, the pool being behind him. But he smirked and used some of the new tricks he learned, sending his Aura into his legs and using his Semblance, Aura Overdrive, to leap into the air, letting the triple demon's bodies smack against each other and fall on the snow. He landed well on the other side of the pool, despite being a little off-balance. "Hey! Not fair! No flying!" They whined.
"He didn't fly, Cerbi!" Lucifer said, pointing out the obvious. "He jumped. Just like yesterday, only higher this time around. Is training in this harsh cold actually doing miracles?"
"If by miracles you mean helping increase my Aura pool and work on my semblance by having them active to not freeze here? Then yes, I can tell that my Aura pool is growing and that I can use my semblance for longer periods." Jaune said, looking at his hands. "But it is still nowhere near the level of power necessary to use Aura Slash."
"Jaune, you shouldn't think about that move from Hell too much," Lucifer said. "I mean, you did it before, but that was when your anger was fueling your semblance. Controlling your emotions is not easy, believe me."
"I am aware." He sighed. "That means I need to train it in order to eventually call that out at will."
"I mean, you already mastered the Aura techniques we found on the CCT" Beel pointed out. "To think this handy notebook escaped us for half a year makes me feel ashamed of our abilities to truly help you."
"Hey, don't sweat it. I didn't know any of that either when we started, and it has been three weeks since we found out about them. I mean, the Selection is long past as well." He said, then he turned around, in time to roll over the ground, his Aura keeping the stinging cold at the low. He just managed to dodge Cerberus' charge towards him, but that was only one of them. The other two tried to flank him, but he decided to try jumping again, the glow appearing around his legs.
"No, you don't!" One of them shouted as she launched herself at his legs, but he managed to lift himself off the ground again, jumping to a safe distance...Or not so safe as he spotted the Cerberus which tried to surprise tackle him run towards the spot he was to land on, effectively catching him as he landed and throwing him on the ground with her on top of him.
"I got you!" She cheered, holding him down just enough for the other two to show up and immobilized his arms above his head and his legs. He might be able to outmaneuver her, but the demons still proved stronger than him physically despite the deceiving physical appearance that they have.
Seriously, it felt like he had rocks keeping him down. That is unless he adds his semblance into the mix. Origin was useless alone, but Aura Overdrive? He could still use it, focusing on the rush of adrenaline inside himself, a smile appearing on his lips as his body glowed and he felt the weight decrease. "Huh?" Cerberus said in confusion as Jaune slowly got himself up. "No!" She said, each of them trying to tackle a limb and even chew his skin, but his Aura was strong.
He was having fun training with them, he was determined, and he was stubborn. Combine the rush and adrenaline from that and he can use Aura Overdrive nearly at full strength. He got up, slowly, with Cerberus hanging off him from various parts, one holding his leg, one trying to punch his chest to put him down, only for her strikes to be sent back by his Aura, and one on his shoulders trying to choke him. His Aura was strained, he knew that, but he needed to push on, walking towards the pool. "Cerberus, I will count to three! If you do not get off me until I do, then be ready to smell like a wet dog!"
"I know I am already wet~," Modeus said on the sidelines, watching the shirtless Arc tackle three women at once in the cold snow, with a divine golden glow around him.
"Not the time, Mo!" Jaune shouted, then returned his focus to the task at hand. Judgement was watching him, analyzing every move. "One!" He said aloud, growing closer to the pool. This will be a bit much even for his Aura to block in terms of cold, likely to get sick from this as well. But no risk, no-win. "Two!" Cerberus noticed he was being serious, and so the one holding his leg jumped off along with the one on his shoulders, leaving only one. "Better join them." He told her, but this body of Cerberus kept trying to put him down.
"Down! Down!" She shouted, then he sighed.
"Three-"
"Stop!" Judgement shouted, launching her chain to take the last Cerberus off Jaune. "That was good, Jaune, but were you really about to jump into the pool just to shake her off?"
"In all honesty?" He replied, the glow fading. "I was." He then shuddered, beginning to rub himself to keep the warmth. His Aura reached its limit, hasn't it? "Can we go back inside where it is warm? We have been training all morning."
"Sure," Judgement said, permitting him. "You managed to get used to the new shield and to dual-wielding blades, not to mention the Aura techniques despite us giving little in terms of that teaching field. However, based on what we found, you are still pretty far from anything significant. Self-enhancing using Aura is the very basic stuff, it was stronger only because of your Semblance boosting your Aura."
"So...Nowhere near Beacon level?" Jaune asked sheepishly.
"Seeing as most of them trained their whole lives and based on what we have seen at the Selection? You are comparable to them, yes, but I don't think you are at the level of a Huntsman academy yet." Judgement replied, giving a blunt opinion. However, that was when she heard someone blow a raspberry and open the door.
"As if!" Justice said as she came out of the house, dressed in a workout attire composed of a white sleeveless t-shirt and black, skin-tight pants. She was likely using that weird sixth sense of hers to get around again. "I didn't get to go there, but I can already compare Jaune here to some of the demons in Hell from the words you girls say."
"To whom are you comparing him, exactly?" Lucifer asked with skepticism.
"Oh, you know, that guy Dantalion," Justice replied, to which Lucifer sighed and rubbed her face.
"You mean Hell's librarian."
"Wait, Hell has a library?" Jaune asked in mild surprise.
"The Forbidden Biblioteka." Beel said, offering the information. "It is where all of the most forbidden knowledge is stored, including things that Heaven is not aware of! My, if even one book would end into mortal hands, the chaos that would ensue would be of truly biblical proportions!"
"But all in all, Dantalion is not what I'd call a skilled warrior. Magician, certainly, but not a warrior." Lucifer said.
"He is also not a good one-night stand from what my sister once told me." Modeus said, adding her own piece to the mix. "Jaune on the other hand is well-built, nice looking, and certainly has a big, juicy co-"
"Judgement, bring out the chains!" Jaune ordered, to which Judgement followed by wrapping her chains around Modeus, around her mouth as well where they were tighter. The Lustful demoness struggled a bit against them, but she was picked up by Judgement. "Take her to the punishment couch!" He said again, the prosecutor nodding before taking the horny demoness away.
"Interesting idea, with the punishment couch, by the way." Justice said, making way for Judgement to pass. "Having them stay chained up on the couch, without even TV, to think what they did wrong. You know it won't work on us demons, right? We were made to be bad girls!"
"And I am here to correct that!" Modeus seemed to shutter as a shiver coursed through her body in the house, Lucifer and Beel simply blushing a bit while Justice gave a raised eyebrow. Even Cerberus was giggling behind him. "Why are you all acting strange all of a sudden?"
"N-no reason…" Lucy said, then she got up. "Beel, I think the two of us should prepare dinner, shall we not?"
"Indeed, Lucy, indeed." The Great Fly said as she followed The Devil's lead, walking back into the house and leaving Jaune with Justice in the cold.
"Did I say something by mistake? I swear it's because of Modeus' influence." Jaune said, trying to piece together what EXACTLY he said. He knew he must have said something, likely taken the wrong way by the girls, that made them act like that. "Justice?"
"Hm?" The blind demon turned to him again. "Oh yeah! It sounded like you were going to be a big, bad boy and punish us little dirty sluts." She answered bluntly, Jaune blushing furiously. "Are you?"
"N-no?" He answered back, somewhat unsure. Good God, Modeus was starting to rub off on him - Wait, no, poor choice of words, she'd enjoy doing that. "Shall we get back in the house already? The cold is going to kill me at this rate."
"Sure, I was about to hit the gym as well," Justice said as they walked back inside the house, attracting Jaune's attention. They might have had a mansion, but he was pretty sure they didn't have an in-build gym. Unless...The Basement.
"Justice, does the said gym happen to be in the basement where Beel told me not to go, only to go to the generator and whatnot when needed?" He asked.
"Huh, for a matter of fact it is! She finished the construction on it around Christmas, I think." Justice replied. "I don't know, I didn't see the calendar. " How she could so lightly joke about her disability was beyond Jaune, but for now another issue was brought up.
"The basement is complete?" He asked.
"Yup"
"And your room is a gym?"
"Completed with showers and all the requirements!" She boasted a bit. "Come take a look if you do not believe me!"
"Know what?" He said, rubbing his hands together to warm them. "Lead the way."
The two of them went into the basement once more, Jaune staring once again at the hallway which looked more complete than before. He passed by each door, seeing no windows to the rooms. Makes sense, considering they were underground and the girls have likely wanted privacy, so he didn't blame them. He was curious, yes, and it was easy to tell which room belonged to which girl since the doors were personalized. Pandemonica's was black with red detailing on the edges and had a capital P on it, with the letter S and M below it. He didn't wanna know what was in there.
Modeus' door was the pink one with white dots with a capital M on it, Jaune finding the design pretty cute, but knowing her it was likely a facade. God knows what was actually in there. Then there was Malina's, which was all black with a capital M with the image of a bottle of vodka and a game controlled to the sides, a grey door with a Z just on the other side of the hall from it with spikes on the edges. That was Zdrada's room.
Then came Azazel's which had a white door with a capital A on it along with the image of a pair of angel wings behind the letter. Lucifer's room was the polar opposite of that, having black wings behind the capital L on it. He saw a long hallway, likely going to Cerberus' separate hut, seeing it be all red with three capital C's on it. Beel's was close to Lucifer's, being purple at the top, but turning crimson at the bottom with the capital B letter on it. Lastly, came the two prosecutors, Judgement having a grey, steel door with a capital J and a hammer surrounded in chains as a decorative image. Justice's door was dark-brown with the grey image of a stone lady with a blindfold holding a blade and scales, the capital J being above her head. This was Justice's room all right - the Gym!
"Welcome to my private sanctuary, Jaune!" Justice said, opening the door and allowing him to walk inside. Now, Jaune never saw a Gym before, a big shocker there, but this place was big. The amount of stone that was dug out and the fact all of this was under his own house was astonishing, to say the least. Hats down to you, Beelzebub, you make one helluva builder. The Gym was spamming across a good few dozen square meters with the entrance being a viewing balcony of sorts with another door at the sides which read 'lockers'. After that, there were stairs on the edge of it leading down into the main part of the gym, which had a large variety of weights and devices to aid in the growth of muscles.
Why didn't Beel tell him about this place, it can help him get jacked! Then again, being too bulky was not good if he wanted to be a huntsman. He wanted to be tanky, not bulky. "I must say that Beelzebub did an awesome job! Definitely worth forgiving her for making me blind!"
"I guess…" Jaune said softly, descending the stairs with Justice into the main area where the demoness picked up a weight.
"What are you waiting for, golden boy? Pick your poison and let's pump some iron!" Justice told him, to which he complied. He went to pick up two weights on the sides, dumbbells, to work on his arms. But damn! Those were heavy! He was by no means weak thanks to Judgement anymore, but those were ridiculous! "Having issues, Jaune?" Justice asked smugly as she began to squat with the weight on her shoulder. "Those are weights from Hell, and the material is five times as dense as normal, so what you perceive as 10 Kilograms is actually 50 Kilograms and so on."
"This is why two 25KG dumbbells feel like they are tied to the floor?" He asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he boosted his arms with Aura to lift them even a bit! The fact Justice could squat with that thing on her back spoke volumes about the strength difference between humans and demons. That and as he saw her he couldn't help but notice how her ass stuck out each time she squatted.
Modeus would be fuming with jealousy now, but he enjoyed the sight before him. Granted, until Justice chuckled. "Enjoying the view of my backside?"
"Yeah…" He replied without thinking, stating the truth. Damn it, Justice's ability still worked on him! "Damn it...Ok, I admit it, since I know it is useless to lie against you; you have one damn good ass there!"
She put the weight down, a slight blush on her cheeks that were countered by her big grin. "Now that is some backbone there, saying that straight to a girl's face! You certainly made progress since the first time I laid my blind pupils on you back in Hell."
"And I have who to thank for it as well." Jaune said, smiling softly. "If it wasn't for all of you girls helping me out, I doubt I'd be here now. I mean, it hasn't even been one year and the progress on my body is pretty visible."
"Hey now, I am blind remember?" Justice pointed out, making him feel awkward for a moment, but then she grinned again. "How about you let me touch said body once, huh? Letting me get a feel of the goods since, you know, I am part of this Harem and whatnot. One day those goods will be deep inside my-"
"Ok, I get the picture, I have duties I will need to fulfill someday!" Jaune said quickly, cutting her off.
"Man, I cannot wait for you to turn into a demon," Justice said, catching his attention.
"Forgive me, what?"
"Wait, you mean Lucifer didn't tell you yet?" Justice asked, sounding genuinely concerned for once. "Shit, she didn't, did she?"
"Justice, is there something Lucifer is not telling me? What are you all not telling me?" He asked, then the awesome demon took off her glasses, looking at him with her blind eyes.
"Jaune, you are a virgin-"
"No need to point it out, damn it!"
"-which means that if you fuck a demon as your first, be them, male or female, you will turn into a fourth-generation demon. And that, golden boy, is a direct and powerful process, not even our resident angel can prevent or fix!" Justice continued, explaining the situation to him. "But I can also tell Lucifer has been holding back. Believe it or not, all of us are growing big soft spots for you, golden boy." She went closer to him, sitting beside him. "All of us." She said with a blush on her face.
"I still don't get it though…" Jaune said, running his hand through his hair. "Why would everyone hide it from me?"
"Actually, I think it was just Lucifer and maybe even Beel who had been doing the hiding. They said you were aware of it already." Justice said, catching him off-guard. Lucifer had lied, Beel as well? Why? "But I can also tell they weren't doing it to have you to themselves, no. If that was the case, you'd already have horns."
"But what then?" He asked again, trying to understand.
"I do not think they want to turn you into a demon." Justice finished. "And to be fair, now that I think about it, it makes sense. We are all basically in a contract with you, which by demonic law allows us to be on earth without consequence for as long as we want, but by becoming a demon said contract becomes null and we would all need to return to Hell and even take you with us since demons cannot stay in this realm without a contract of sorts. At least not a large number like us."
"You know a lot about the laws of Hell, don't you?" Jaune asked, smiling weakly.
"Hey, I WAS the High Prosecutor, you know? It was my job to know them!" Justice replied cheerfully. "But yeah. If anything, it sounds like Lucy, who called first dibs by the way, has been trying her best not to sneak into your room all this time. Compared to Mo, she is capable of self-control, but still! The wait must be driving her crazy, and toys can only do so much."
Jaune leaned back, processing the new information in his head. He guessed it did seem right, seeing as he did have a Harem, yet none of them tried to sneak under his sheets for half a year. He feared for his chastity so much when he didn't need to, but on the contrary, he started to feel guilty. From what Justice said Lucy was getting frustrated, and if there is one thing he learned when Saphron couldn't have her fun with Terra, is that a frustrated woman is not a nice woman to be around. Not to mention he has that duty to the girls...Well, not Azazel since she was an angel, but still.
Girls have needs, a lesson he learned from living with seven sisters and one mother. "Justice, be honest with me." He was about to ask something no man should ask a lady. If he did this with a normal woman he'd likely get slapped, but this was, as he came to learn, Justice, the most laid back one of them all.
"Sure, why?" She replied.
"You can force the truth out of the girls, right? Can you also read their emotional state?" He asked, wanting to first confirm that.
She smiled, her usual grin showing on her face. "Sure can! It also didn't get that weakened when leaving Hell, or when I got blind!"
"So that is how you can kinda see!" Jaune exclaimed, having it finally clicked in his head. "You are using that to know where we are!"
"Yup! Although it doesn't work on objects and I need to focus on the person I wanna read, it is handy" Justice explained. "So, I see you are somewhat nervous, so spit it!"
"Well...How horny are the girls, you included? Like, how is the built-up?" He saw Justice blush a bit at the question, but her composure didn't break, instead she chuckled a bit awkwardly.
"Way to put a woman on the spot, golden boy." Justice said, then took a breath to calm herself. "Do you want the detailed explanation or the simple one?"
"Hit me with the simple one."
"All of us are dripping, Jaune." Justice replied, the boy choking a bit on his spit. "I mean, why wouldn't we? Everyone made their own opinion on you and their reasons for getting weak in the knees. Sure, you were a scrawny loser when you arrived in Hell from what Monica has said-"
"Hey now!"
"-but believe me, even though I cannot see it, that you grew a lot in the last half of year!" She said, going to him and leaning, placing her hands on his abdomen to feel him up. "Yup, Judgement was not lying. Jacked and hard, just how I like them."
Jaune didn't make an effort to shake her off, knowing she wasn't about to jump him. "We all want you, even Azazel!"
"Azazel?!" Jaune gasped in shock. "But she can't do that, can she?! I mean, she is an angel!"
"One which is falling, Jaune." Justice said, informing him. "By being with us, associating herself with us, all of that is enough for the process to start. If she hangs around any longer you will wake up with her hair going white."
"How do you know that?" Jaune asked again, Justice turning around and placing herself on his lap.
"That's right, isn't it? How do I know that? Not like I can see her hair going white or horns growing from her head, right?" Justice said with a hint of sarcasm. "I guess it's because that is what happened to Lucy, Beel, and Baphomet as well? Those three used to have black hair, just like Azazel, and Lucifer used to even let it flow around her. I heard she was one helluva beauty."
"But?" Jaune asked, feeling it follow.
"She rebelled and fell, you know the story. I talked with Beel and she said Lucifer's hair was going white before she faced God as well, meaning that falling is not an instant process, and the stuff happening beforehand is a warning to the angel." She searched around for his hand, finding it and placing hers on top. "Lucifer went all the way and ended as she is now. I...I am honestly not sure if Azazel wants this, to be fair." She turned to him. "I am worried, Jaune, truly. I mean, not because we are all breaking one or two dildos a night, but because Azazel might end up regretting being here with us. Most of us grew a soft spot for her, except for Zdrada. She still keeps her guard up because Aza is an angel."
Once again, Jaune was set into his thoughts, running what Justice said through his head. "There is nothing I can do, though…" He sighed. "I mean, I do not want her to leave, but at the same time asking her to fall sounds selfish."
"Because it is," Justice said, confirming his words. "Remember when I denied the chance to get my eyesight back?"
"Yeah?"
"It was so I could stay this way and be humble," Justice said, leaning back on his chest. "I was so high and mighty before, but a bit of an arrogant bitch, you know."
He snorted. "You? I do not believe it."
"Oh, but I was," Justice said with an equally amused voice. "Before Zdrada came around, I was called the High Bitch Demon because of how I treated everyone around me, except for Lucifer. After the fight with Beelzebub, I kinda got off my high horses and became the cool demoness you see and hold now!"
Both of them chuckled at the little story, but then Justice buckled up her knees to her chest. "I do not know why others like you, to be fair, nor do I care. Although I can assume Mo only does because you got some giant-"
"Don't say it, J" Jaune warned, not wanting to hear anything related to his junior.
"Well, point taken. " She said. "But wanna know why I like you?" She said, then turned to him, jumping up and catching the boy off-guard, then giving him a kiss on the lips. To say Jaune was surprised would be an understatement, but he quickly calmed himself and enjoyed her lips. He did catch the smell of sweat, which was not that pleasant, but they were in a gym. They parted, allowing Justice to continue. "It's because you work hard." She said softly, a blush on her face. "You work hard every day, cook for us, care for us - you are honestly a real catch and I am somewhat mad the human bitches in your village didn't know it. But also glad they were that stupid because now you are all ours."
"Justice…" He said, the girl leaning into his embrace for a bit. "I...I got no escape now, do I?"
She giggled. "Nup. And you better hurry up before Lucy runs out of toys."
"But wouldn't that count as cheating on you, girls?" He asked, feeling somewhat worried. "I mean, I know I would be removing the limit, but at the same time...I don't know if I can do a simple one-night stand either."
"Kinda figured that out, but we have hope," Justice said, confusing him.
"Hope? So you mean there is a way for me to...elope with you all without becoming a demon other than losing my V-card to some random girl?" He asked, prompting her to laugh.
"Actually, Lucy was thinking about that girl you all met during your little trip. Pyrrha was it?"
"Pyrrha?!" He blushed furiously. "What? No! I don't want to take advantage of her!" He argued.
"Relax, we know," Justice said, calming him. "Beel pointed it out as well. Granted, they did say they noticed some early signs on that girl."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, really. They never got into details." Justice replied. "But all in all? Take your time, Jaune. We are grown-ass women, so we can take care of our own needs."
"I guess…" He sighed. "So, whatcha wanna do now? We can work out some." He suggested.
"Actually, I am pretty comfy as I am." She said, leaning back into his chest. "I hope you do not mind me making myself at home here, do you?"
He blushed a bit, but replied with a smile. "Not at all, Justice." he said, but then they heard the door open and turned around to spot Beelzebub there.
"Oh my, sorry for the interruption" She said, giggling a bit. "But I was actually looking for you, Jaune. Someone is calling you on your scroll." She pulled out the device, tossing it to Jaune who caught it, seeing the person who was calling him and widening his eyes.
"It's Pyrrha!" He exclaimed aloud, then Justice, understanding that she was in demon form, stepped aside, allowing Jaune to open the scroll and come face to face with Pyrrha.
"Hi Jaune-Eek!" Pyrrha greeted him, but she then suddenly eep-ed and averted her gaze from him, blushing a bit. Confused, Jaune looked at himself, noticing that he was shirtless and in a video call with Pyrrha.
"Shit, sorry about that!" He said, lifting the scroll up some more so only his head was visible. "I was working out earlier outside, then moved inside to train some more and I forgot to put on a shirt and-"
"Wait, you were training outside in the cold without a shirt?" She asked, sounding somewhat impressed. "Such training is not usually done for beginners, their Aura cannot take it!"
"I can boost it, remember?" He said casually with a small smile, reminding her of his semblance. "Anyway, to what do I owe this call?"
"Oh, right! Well, you did say I could visit at times and spar with you, but I was thinking you might be able to extend that offer a bit" She said shyly, knowing that Beel was most likely there or another tenant. "Can you ask your landlady if it is ok for me to stay there for a week or so? I am looking to get away from the stress of, well...being me, I guess."
Jaune looked over to Beel, who was listening to the conversation, the demoness having a coy smile on her face. "But of course dear!" She said, knowing full well Pyrrha could hear her. "We would be delighted to have you over, so please, do not be shy."
"T-thanks." Pyrrha said. "I should arrive there tomorrow during the afternoon, is that ok?"
"Sure" Jaune replied, then he heard someone call out Pyrrha's name from her side.
"I gotta go, but we will talk more later when we meet, alright?"
"Of course! I cannot wait to show you around and for you to meet the others." Jaune said with genuine excitement in his voice. "I just know they will warm up to you quickly."
Pyrrha blushed a bit and chuckled. "I hope so too. See you then, Jaune." The call ended, and Jaune put the scroll into his pants, looking at the girls before him.
"Alright, we need to make sure everyone knows their roles! No demonic activity while Pyrrha is here, no odd behavior outside the norm, no magic, and definitely, DEFINITELY, keep Malina and Zdrada from fighting during her visit, deal?"
"Leave it to us, Big J!" Justice said with enthusiasm while Beel was more polite.
"It shall be done." She replied, then a smirk appeared on her face. "We will make sure her stay here will be hard to forget."
