Sup guys, I'm back.
So first things to clarify to make sure you guys understand what this fic is. I'm pretty much going to be using the 'Human Soul' from Glitchtale, you can find it on youtube. What is it you ask? Who knows~
I'm going to using Coeur's Arc Family and Ansel for this fic. Why? Cuz I'm an unoriginal author and it would take me too long to come up with an original one.
Also, I'm sure some of you guys are wondering when I'm going to update 'Jaune's Eyes of the Lord' and I'll tell you all my plans for it at after the chapter.
Now that that's all been said, on with the chapter!
Blue eyes fluttered open, mouth opening to let out a yawn. The 15 year-old boy rubbed his eyes as he began to lean upwards from his bed, he smacked his lips a few times before his eyes opened.
The boy's room wasn't small, but not exactly big either, just right size. The window in the middle of the room, which was beside his bed, was covered by a gray curtain. He had a desk in the corner opposite of his bed. A closet on the other corner. And a shelf on the corner parallel to his bed which was filled with X-Ray and Vav comics.
The boy's feet slowly pressed against the wooden floor of his room as he stood up with a slouch, his eyes still half-lidded. He then proceeds to walk over to his curtains, and due to his grogginess from just waking up and just plain lack of thinking, he draws them. He soon regrets it as he falls backwards in shock from the rays of sunshine that assaulted his eyes and lets out a curse that would have gotten him in trouble had his mother been there.
The impact of a body hitting the floor was heard below, knowing that there was only one person upstairs, Juniper Arc called out. "Jaune, sweetie, are you all right up there?"
He really wasn't, "I'm fine mom!" Jaune said as he pushes himself off the ground. By the gods that was embarrassing, thankfully no one saw it. That thought was soon proven wrong when he sees the door to his room open and standing there was his youngest sister, Amber, who has a huge smile on her face. She snickered.
"Amber you saw nothi-" "Ahahahaha!" She interrupted with a laugh as she pointed a finger at him, tears forming at the corner of eyes as she continued to do so.
"It's not that funny!"
"Yes it is, it totally is!" Amber replied before continuing to laugh at him, which caused Jaune to grumble a bit before his stomach demanded food by letting out a growl.
Jaune grunted as he lifted himself off the floor while Amber finally stopped laughing as she snickered one last time, she then yelped as she was suddenly lifted from the floor and was now being carried by Jaune like a sack of potatoes. She began beating her fists on his back as he walked through the corridors of their home.
"Jaune put me down! Put me down! Put me down!" Amber repeated over and over in an indignant tone as her small fists hit his back. Her attempts at physical assault wasn't amounting to much however.
"No, no I don't think I will." Jaune said with a smile as he walked down the stairs.
Amber pouted at him before moving into a better position on his shoulders. Eventually they arrived in the kitchen where their mother is seen to be flipping pancakes.
"Morning Jaune." Juniper greeted as Jaune walked in.
"Morning mom." Jaune replied as he grabbed two plates and began to place some of the finished pancakes on top of them.
Juniper finally notices Amber on Jaune's shoulders with her head on top of his, she didn't look happy about not being noticed earlier and was pouting at her which made her giggle. "Morning to you too Amber."
Amber grumbled as she replied. "Morning mom."
Juniper did wonder though, Amber was in the living earlier and was watching cartoons on the TV, how did she get upstairs so quickly? One quick look at Amber's blue eyes reminded her how, and she went back to cooking pancakes.
Once Jaune finished placing three pancakes on each of the two plates, he proceeds to hold the two plates in one hand each and places them accordingly on the family table. Jaune then places the smol child in a seat.
"Hey! I'm not that small!" The smol child protested.
"Amber stop breaking the fourth wall." Jaune said as he sat down next to her.
"But Jaune!"
"Sweetie, do as your brother says." Juniper said as she hands both of them a butter knife and fork.
The smol child grumbled as she accepts the butter knife and fork. Stupid author, can't even come up with something original to make people laugh.
"Amberrr." Jaune said warningly.
"What? I didn't do anything!"
"Amber." Jaune repeated, this time not stretching the 'r'.
"Ugh, fine." Amber said as she raised her tiny hands in surrender. Her eye twitched.
Jaune sighed as he slid over a bottle of pancake syrup over to Amber, which got her attention immediately and she starts putting some on her pancakes. He then starts digging in on his own plate of pancakes.
…
After he was done eating, Jaune starts drinking a glass of water. Only for him to nearly spit it out when he was suddenly slapped on his back, Jaune quickly wiped his mouth with his forearm and made sure to swallow any water left in his mouth. Jaune then turned around to see that it was Hazel, one of his many older sisters, who had done it. She was also glaring at him a little.
"What was that for?!"
"That," Hazel said as she poked his forehead prompting a 'Hey!' out of Jaune and a giggle from Amber. "Is for keeping me and the others waiting for uh," she took a quick look at the watch on her left wrist before turning back at Jaune, "10 minutes! … I think."
"You think?!" Jaune said incredulously.
Hazel merely shrugged with an innocent expression on her face. "Eh whatever, what's important is that I think that you," she pointed a finger at Jaune, "Have forgotten what we're supposed to do today."
Jaune paused as he processed Hazel's last statement, was there something that they planned today? He truly can't remember as he spent last night playing Valorant with his friends, who had continued playing with him even when he quite honestly sucked ass.
Seeing Jaune's confused face, Hazel let out a sigh as she rubbed her face with one hand. Really? Did Jaune really forgot what is no doubt going to be one of the most important events in his life?
"Jaunee," Hazel slowly said. "You're supposed to have your aura unlocked today."
Hazel's words repeated in his mind over and over as his eyes widened as he realizes the implications of what she said, unlocking his aura means unlocking the family semblance, Soul Trait.
Soul Trait is the Arc's family semblance that grants them unique abilities based on their, as the name suggest, trait. It is also what made the Arc's famous throughout Remnant as the huntsmen/huntresses from them were known to be quite strong. Sadly their number has been reduced down to one family as many of them died fighting against Grimm.
There is only one out of six Soul Traits that an Arc can have, and they are: Bravery, Justice, Kindness, Patience, Integrity, and Perseverance. Each of the traits have their own abilities that differ from one another. However, there are a few cases where an Arc has two traits, but those are very very rare.
Amber already had her Soul Trait active and she didn't even have her aura unlocked. The only possible explanation for it is that it's most like due to her Integrity being so strong that it manifested even without aura.
Jaune once asked if his might also manifest like Ambers, Nicholas told him that it was highly unlikely. Amber's manifestation of her soul trait without aura was truly special, as such a thing never happened before.
"What are we standing around here for then let's-" A quick glare from Hazel reminded him why both of them were still here.
"Oh… eheheh whoops?" Jaune said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.
Before Hazel could rip into him, Juniper speaks up. "Now now, Hazel dearie do calm down. I could have told about it Jaune earlier but since he just woke up well…"
Hearing this, Hazel could only sigh before looking at Jaune. "Fine fine whatever, Jaune lets go. Dad and Saphron are at the training ground." Their training ground was a 5-minute walk away from their house, as some abilities of their soul trait are a bit destructive, to say the least.
With a growing smile on his face, Jaune stood up from his seat and eagerly followed Hazel as she left the house. As he exits their house, he hears Amber asking something.
"Mom, what does 'fuck' mean?" Jaune immediately rushed to catch up to Hazel.
Short chapter I know, but I actually had to do this because the original one was too long so I had to cut it. That and I think this is a good place to end at.
So when am I going to update 'Jaune's Eyes of the Lord'?
Never, I have given up on it. Why? Because I'm rewriting it lol.
So like one night when I was working on this fanfic, I decided to read JEL cause why not. That's when I see how cringe I was in the first chaps, I felt so much pain reading it, especially the first chapter. So yeah, am rewriting that one.
I have also seen the anime of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie and I must say.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
That's about it, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
Bye for now.
