Noel was in the living room of his house his seat was made out of wood and in front of his was a circular wooden table across the table seated a woman in front of him.

" Ok, if I understand, you're telling me, that you ended up that way, after the terrorist attack, right?" Asked Corcea morse, who was a tall Tsukumogami woman, short wild blond hair that reached her neck, her skin was cream-colored, her eyes cyan, her outfit consisted of in a yellow blouse, with a red skirt that covered her knees, with a pair of silver flip flops.

Another detail of the woman's skin was what looks like metallic blue bracelets that were part of a copper-colored gauntlet, which seemed to be fused to her body Which was the case.

Next to her was a woman who appeared to be 30 years old, with long blond hair, which fell from her back to her hip, a strand of hair covered her, her face of white skin, and she had colored eyes. blue.

Her outfit was a brown Shirt, and a cafe skirt with cream stockings and combined with black shoes.

This Woman was his mother Sinna arc

She had relieved expression on her face after all her Son returned from the Hospital with a Green arm and a blue colored hand after a Terrorist attack.

But right now she had quite the analytical face with some traces of anger, probably thinking the Many ways she would injure the ones responsible for one of his baby boys injuries.

Beside her was a Caramel blonde-haired man with his hair, tied up in a ponytail, skin color like his Mother, with Aqua eyes.

The man was also tall with a bronze shirt, which was unbuttoned, showing a white shirt, his pants were black that ended in black shoes, which looked like they were taken care of in such a way that they looked elegant.

he had both eyebrows on his face shook up.

Not that he wasn't worried about his son although it was clear that his Father Cooper Brast arc was surprised and somewhat curious about something Noel couldn't tell what it was.

"Yes, to be honest, I did not imagine that my visit to the Museum would be interrupted by an explosion," Noel said remembering the experience as if it were, one of the memories in which he almost drowned, although that memory did not leave him completely marked like this one, now he had an aversion to going to the museum.

"At least you are alright Son." Replied his Mother, the analytical face disappeared to give a relaxed smile " if that wasn't the case I would probably grab Corsea and…."

She couldn't finish her sentence because Cooper interrupted her incoming rant " Honey, you know that is illegal?"

He said in a disarming way to calm her down, His mother was like that, although not extremely overprotective, she was capable to go very far for his children, and God's help you if you did something to then.

" not to mention is a very inappropriate al way to use me," Corsea interjected siding with His father, but then she put her left arm below her shin. " ….Thought now that I think about it could probably be a good way to stretch my legs.

This makes Noel, his Father, and Teresa if she had a body to have deadpan face directed at her, if this was a T.V show it would probably be symbolized with a blue sweat tear behind their heads.

" don't encourage her Corsea." His father said still with the neutral expression on his face.

" what? is legitimately good thinking." The Blonde weapon responded if this was a common thing to have as a good idea.

" I meant Cooper she is too close up in this house going for a walk is not gonna harm somebody… Too much." Sinna said with a sickeningly sweet smile, that could pretty much make anybody feel unease.

" Is this how some characters in the media feel when this happens?" Mentally Noel asked himself, this situation by his perspective was kinda absurd, though he should be accustomed at this point. part of him still considered this too bizarre in some aspects.

After all, you didn't have a second mother that was in the past a warrior that fought creatures hell bend in destroying humanity and probably one of two Giant Thunder turtles.

His father just looked at her with a deadpan expression on his face and said " don't say excuses you now that she goes outside often, to either train Jaune, get into boxing fights on the nearby gym, and make sculptures out of rocks she find somewhere "

" Awww you always worry too much Honey," Sinna said with a cute smile something that shouldn't mix with what they were actually talking about.

" I worry more, for your victims." Cooper arc thought, he really loved the Woman he really did, but gods did she had a temper and a lot of stubbornness mixed with it. " I meant do you remenber the incident that you did with the Thieves at the bank?"

His mother looked at her husband with a frown and sighed.

"I never expected this coming front you." she finally said, " After all, I saw you brutalizing an Ursa with frying pan once, Not bat from an engineer don't you think?"

"Ok, the situation there was not ideal, and we got lost in that island, and you protected me the whole trip while I was wondering how I was still alive." His father retaliated giving his version of events.

"Meh. it was a fun Honeymoon thought." his Mother said, yeah she was a warrior that considered fighting fun.

" a crazy and, stressful one you meant?" his father responded to that with a dry expression.

And just like that they started to reminisce about that honeymoon incident, he knew about this already, though that topic annoyed his father slightly, Noel could tell his father wasn't the type for fighting, but Noel suspected that his mother did this on purpose not just to fuck with but to change the subject.

In a weird way his mother reminding him of Yang (that he doubted she existed, knowing how everything was dramatically different front his knowledge), a person for this world, thought his mother wasn't a party girl that loved puns and kicking ass….well his mother did love fighting so the last point did not apply, beyond the fact that yes, his mother was ripped his mother's arm strength was a testament to that.

While he was down memory lane Noel attempted to moved new blue unfeeling hand to his cheek unfortunately for him the magical artificial limb move to another direction, he concentrated a little bit more but it moves towards the edge of his seat, his blue hand feels to the ground stretching the rest of the green arm/ stem-like rubber and the hand still creepily moved in an attend to do his commands.

Noel just made sight in frustration, he remembers that this happened a couple of times went he was discharged from the hospital and a couple of times went he entered the house.

It gave one hell of a spook to his mother thinking some weird syndrome happened to him, in reality like the doctors said to him the limb wasn't perfect, and He couldn't feel anything front that part of his body, on top of that he did have the occasional phantom pain.

Worse part? (apart for being his dominant hand) the stretching is, one of the things that weren't supposed to happen, Teresa told him that the plant stem shouldn't be like this went it was in a resting position, his "Kooky" soul was probably messing something up.

In addition, if Teresa could help him moving the prothesis she transformed into, the connection would mess up and not move at all (or correctly ) in any way.

this only leave him with the only option of practicing how to use his dominant arm again….Great.

As the arm rolled back into his original position, he started to think about the ones responsible for the attack that screwed him over.

"Fucking white Fang" Noel thought with a frown, it was just like in the show Apparently they attacked the museum in the arms section because they had used weapons for the subjugation of the Faunus, that were used in the color wars, that also were used during the human and Faunus conflict that happened in the past.

However, he understood why they do it, to a certain extent, it was easy for him to imagine himself in their shoes, but he did not make it palatable at all.

If that was a Horrible part of history that happened to then, but the old adage, the one who does not learn from the past is condemned to repeat it, was always in effect.

But his sympathy did not end there menagerie after all in some of the News, along with Remnant geographics magazine, and Newspaper it was well known.

That while that place did have some of the things he recognized from his memories, it wasn't the same exact tropical feeling place, on the coast one was fine, but if you got further into the land, apparently the soil was not good for agriculture.

Or more like there was little nutrient-rich soil for plants.

If that were not enough, the place also had the hardest to kill Grimms, and the fauna was quite dangerous.

Fortunately, they have walls, but they were regularly, assaulted by Grimm.
and if not from Grimm, is the Fauna doing migrations.

It was livable but a still thought living, so It wasn't weird that some Faunus got fed up and then try their luck in other kingdoms.

Which wasn't exactly easy because of the Racism, but depended if the kingdom in question.

" Guess the Faunus after their revolution didn't get totally in the way they wanted hu?" Teresa communicates with him mentally, something that happened went his repaired arm finally reached completion.

" How do you know that?" The Blonde asked, she was old enough to be in the same war his Now new Grampa was, and his discussion with her in the mind scape " I meant you were trapped inside the museum"

Unfortunately, he didn't realize he responded to his own answer.

"..." She didn't say anything like she was giving him a face and then" you know that I was in a Museum right?, I don't know all the details, but things come and go inside it all the time."

He only responded with a grumble, he always has this trouble realizing what he was actually saying, his brain being faster than his tongue was not a good advantage in a social situation, for him at least.

" Sorry I just didn't think" Noel replied a little miffed due to his own naivete at his answer.

Then he feels somebody tap on his shoulder, he turned his head to the direction of the person that was calling for his attention.

It was his Mother that had worried expression in her face.

"Look like you were talking to Teresa didn't you?" His Mother asked him with an inquisitive look " I meant you have that look when you said something out of place"

His only response was chuckle followed by a sigh Noel moved his left arm to the fallen extremity, only to find that is wasn't on the floor but put on the Table.

"You know that could be a problem went you get to fight one-day," Corsea interjected pointing out the flaw in it. "Perhaps he would need some training"

She was right in her notion, he remembers the stories his mother told than before she retired and became a baker.

She said that more often than not some hunter loss battles for several reasons, but the ones that fused with Tsukumogami were in more danger due to, being distracted while talking inside their heads.

It usually ended in either injury or for what Noel concluded himself, death.

Noel shakes up his head for side to side, he seriously shouldn't think about that theme at all, most likely making her mother worry since she threw him aside glance went he did that.

However Noel didn't notice that at all with his mind fully immerse and going back the problem about being fused, they were several ways around the issue, doing plans before the event the battle started, being stupidly fast, or thinking quickly.

Or having a semblance that was so bullshit that you could give the middle finger to reality and the laws of physic.

Not that Remnant obeyed then anyway.

"So Corséa are you suggesting to...?" The arc matriarch asked, was about to ask the weapon but they reach the same conclusion at the same time

"Enrolling him in a combat school? " Corsa said crossing her arms looking at her old owner then positioning her eyes and who was her second most likely candidate for being her new teammate " he had unlocked his aura and has a Tsukumogami permanently attached to him, furthermore if he doesn't have proper training, it would be waste dont you think?"

"Perhaps for you Morse, but I have to point out they are Aura users that don't use their auras for battle at the time right?" The arc Matriarch pointed that out.

"Yeah I know, Sinna I am not that old Fashioned." The Old weapon responded not without grumbling something about her past owner's daughters thought, not in disrespect, it was the decision of the big sister to some take jobs not related to hunting or if they took that path they didn't choose her as a weapon due to choosing using the new mecha-shift weaponry.

Morse knew that those weapons were hardly a new thing, event Tsukumogami born front then existed, unfortunately nowadays they were more popular that what some weapon Fanatics refer now as Classics, which was a thing personally didn't like much, she did try to Select Noel as her new partner but he rejected the offer for some reason.

"But considering that, don't you think he needs to some training, at least for self-defense dont you think?"

While they were discussing that Noel tensed up a and his face has gone slightly pale but went they talked it about like it was only for self-defense y relaxed a bit, he knew that if he wanted to help, he needed to go to beacon but:

Enrolling there, Meant fighting, fighting means, hunting Grimm, hunting Grimm leads to fights to the death, or risking your life potentially dying.

He put his wavering left arm on over his mouth and started taking in deep breaths of air.

"Noel are you-?" Teresa communicate mentally with him

" I am Fine." He abruptly cut her with a slight bit of anger in that thought, if she recoiled he didn't see it.

However it one could see inside his mind's eye one could see that Teresa didn't like how he answered she frowned and stifled her anger so he didn't lash out as he did.

"Looks like we have someone with attitude problems." She thought, and rolled her eyes, she knew the guy was nice but if he was trying to hide his reaction to her like that, he was failing spectacularly doing that.

"Hey! I am just worried about you, no need to respond like that." She answered.

Outside the inner realm Noel frowned not at her but at himself for lashing out like that "Great you absolute piece of shit, you fuck up again, looks like you don't learn event now do you?"

The internal berating was followed by a wince and then a rapid-fire apologizing for his part, which was meth with a " Is fine." from Teresa's part, which although making him feel better, he still has lingering regret front that which his father didn't fail to notice.

"Noel, son are you ok?" His father asked this time being the one to snap him out of his mental discussion and self-derision.

"Wha…? ah sorry, I wasn't paying attention what were you talking about? " Noel asked nervously.

"Well went you were talking to Teresa, Corsea and your mother asked you if you wanted to go to a combat school?"

Noel looked at his Mother, Father and the Tsukumogami of the family, something cold rant through his Veins, He knew he needed to go to one, at least to beacon and confirm his suspicions (and probably find a way to help), yet his mind was in full self-preservation mode.

This made it into a mental debate, one part of him telling not to go, live your life without risking it, the other berated him for being a coward and the last one told him to go for at least try an help.

With some hesitation, he obeyed the third command deemed it as Reasonable.

"I….I think that yes, Yes I should," He said it with some reservation in his voice.

His father put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him with worry with his warm eyes.

"Noel remember you can quick at any time, understand?"He suggested

"yeah I….. understand," he said with a clearly forced and fake smile on his face. "Event so I think, I would help me a lot, hey I could perhaps graduate and go to beacon"

He half-joked at the last sentence, he wanted to go there for several reasons, one to confirm if Salem was a thing (something he heavily doubts he could pull off), second to acquire the combat skills to not get killed (or at least be decent enough to survive) and three find someone that could believe the crap he knew.

Even then he still had friction inside himself, if this event was a good idea or if this was it correct? he definitely feels like he had his doubts, to starts, did he event was needed? (he didn't feel like it was) could he event help? (he still saw himself as a burden for this family anyway why would he expect something different).

"Ok." His father said, raising an eyebrow a little no doubt noticing something was wrong with his son, it wasn't the first time either after all, his smile looked forced and his son wasn't any good at hiding how he feels, by his perspective he was very easy to read.

And he knew that his child was have something on his head, he was like that ever since he abruptly matured after his coma, he behaved like an adult trapped in the body of a child, was not only Bizarre but sorrow full of his own right, to some that would be a blessing but, it meant that Noel stopped having a childhood all together for some nebulous reason.

Not to mention Noel also had occasions in which he said and wrote whole sentences in Vacuan instead of Valean on several occasions, which made then quickly catch up to his bad words whenever he says then in Vacuan.

"But son remember we are here for you whenever you feel down ok?" The arc Patriarch said comforting his son.

Noel smiled with sincerity this time, he raised up from his seat and said: " Ok thank you, went I am going to get inscribed?"

"Vale Combat academy opens this year to recibe new students, so changing school is not going to be an issue." Corsea answered, "That's of course if your school friends don't have an issue."

Went Corsea morse said that Noel reminisced went one of his school classmates in his past life said something pessimistic about school friends "Where aren't friends, we are just classmates ( ? ), with a world like this, there are few people you could call Friends"

Yeah friends, is not that he didn't pay attention to than he did have a pleasant conversation to than before, but he mostly didn't chat to then that much, and also had always the disting Problem of not remembering their names, this made him feel like a jerk both in his past life and now.

Interacting with then was….. difficult.

"Yeah, I don't think they would." He answered, then he got up from his seat internally thinking how little he interacted with then.

"Where are you going?" asked his mother.

"I am going to my room to draw some pictures."

"With your arm like that dont you think is a little bit risky to do that?" His mother rightfully asked pointing out his problematic extremity.

He stopped his march towards his room, scowled letting out a small animal-like grow, and let out a heavy sight as if was trying to get pressure out of his body,l yeah his arm was fucked and it frustrated him to no end, he needed to recuperate his skill for drawing as fast as possible and he didn't like it went somebody stopped him for doing his objectives.

He will be damned if he gave up and let that slip through his hand from even a minute, but he wasn't nearly as dumb as his mother thought, what he completely misunderstood as his mother underestimating his intelligence.

"And? I have my left arm. " He answered he pointed out while not realizing he was raising his voice and being rude. "Mon. do you really think I am that dumb?"

This caused a variety of reactions in the living room.

Corsea moved her head disapprovingly from side to side his father saw him with a sharp frown on his face.

And his mother responded in kind, with an equally as irritated expression, for the brother's balls he was sometimes stubborn as a mule, she blames her Genetics for this, however, there was one element that Noel his adorably mature child have that she didn't, the unfortunate ability to assume the worse.

"Lower your voice, show respect please, and don't misunderstand what I said," she asked pointing out the flaw in his logic. "Is just advice, not admonishing my child"

The only answer he did was lowering his growl almost to the point of making a sight, though his frown was still there it wasn't toward his mother but himself.

"I will be all the time this stupidly temperamental, pendejo imbecil?, apologizing wouldn't be enough," He asked himself mentally, he knew he didn't like went people interrupted him went he was, busy, writing, drawing or playing video games, one could say he indeed was doing nothing, still he considered the writing and drawing Vital perhaps because he didn't want to abandon that part of himself "you never mature do you?"

"Ok. sorry, I just… I am going to my room." He re-started his walk, he opened the door to the living room and then close it behind it.

During the walk in the hallway, Teresa started talking to him.

"You shouldn't thread yourself that hard." She said with worry in her voice yet Noel feel something wrong with the way she said it.

"Did you just read my mind without my permission?" Noel said a little bit on edge.

"No I didn't, the Barrage of apologies you throw me before told me that." the Bluenete responded answering his question. "I meant it already happened, and you learn to not repeat it right?"

"That's the problem, it happens from time to time." Noel said with a tone of regret on his voice while looking to the ground, he knew he wasn't perfect, but he wanted to be a good person and it frustrated to no end that he sometimes repeated the same mistakes, and this is why he didn't make promises, he feared he would brake then anyway.

Then again he always has an attitude to not giving an iota of a fuck about some things, only went people irritated him thought.

"It really annoys me that I repeat the some of then all over again."

Teresa was silent trying to digest what he said.

"For what I see? you may be a little bit of a hyperactive jerk." She finally responded, "But I can definitely tell you are a good person."

Went she said that he feels slightly but happy although the deepest part of him scoffed sarcastically at that answer "Yeah, a good person? a selfish lazy asshole like me?"

He always will have issues with being appreciated dint it?

"Yeah maybe." He said went he finally reached his destination to the disaster he called a room, he wasn't the most organized person around thought it was mostly fixed, it still had a wrinkled bed, pillows hard partly put over it, some science, Aura and soul magic magazines over his bed, and very amateur drawings though organize they still formed part of the chaos that was his room.

Searched for his pencil that was in one of his tables and an eraser using his left arm this entire time.

And then the real challenge started went he tried to move his new appendix out of habit several times stretching or moving with almost no control until he focused to stop and obey his command.

Which was more difficult for him knowing he needed to use it sparingly and his left arm.

"This is going to take more time for me That I expected hu?" Noel thought with Irritated grimace on his face, yet this didn't stop his persistence.

3 hour and a half lather:

Noel has gone out of his room going to the direction of the garden on the house to take a break, he constantly moved his left arm looking at his extremity constantly, it feels tired.

He drew the picture a lot of erasing the parts that he didn't like constantly trying to make it looks good or at least decent by his standards, which make him remember the scratch on the table on his studio had, after all, he did have several lapses in focus went he was drawing.

The Green construct that was Teresa was difficult to control, at all the lapses consisted on his arm actually move to another direction that he didn't want the arm to move to, Transforming each finger into a blade.

He was so focused on his drawing that he didn't realize that he got stuck until he tried to get out of the room.

After all his ass still feeling pain for tripping backward.

"Yeah I should take that training if only to control this damn thing." he thought out loud in frustration.

"Are you implying I am an object?" Teresa asked slightly annoyed

"No, no, no." he responded in apology "sorry for that."

"Apology accepted, just don't start doing that ok." She warned him while making him feel relieved that he didn't fuck up by just accidentally saying that.

Is this moment that always questions if he was intelligent, then he remembered the bunch of stupid shit he did in the past and thought that he indeed was an idiot.

"Hey, brother how are you doing today?"

Noel turned his head towards the direction of the voice that was calling to him, it belonged to Younger Jaune arc that was wearing a white T-shirt and blue shorts, wearing brown sandals on his feet he also notices that he looked dirty.

"oh Hello Jaune" He saluted back" why are you so dirty?"

"Ah, this? I was sparring with Corsea Morse." The Young Arc answered his brother's question, followed by her face changing into an irritated frown."I swear I almost Had her that time."

He saw some of the sparring matches Jaune have with Corsea at the Beginning the sword of the arc family made him eat dirt, however over time Jaune became more adept into enduring the matches with her, and in some occasion almost succeeding into defeating her.

It if wasn't for the experience the sword had, his brother could have won that occasion, he always came up with strategies, Noel couldn't make up, mostly because Noel knew he did by simply instinct/panic and almost zero thinking into it.

But Jaune? for some reason, both here and in Canon were capable of made plans even if he wasn't the most adept fighter.

"What did you do? another crack pop plan." He asked

"H-hey isn't That rich coming from you." He stammered a little pointing calling him out" do I need to remind you that you suck at playing the car game."

" ….. Well, you do Blindside me. " Noel admitted, Making Jaune have a smug smile on his face.

He always expected that from that to get beaten into those games, unless they taught him one strategy he could use to metaphorically screw, you over he couldn't think of himself winning.

And that's why Jaune always taught with a few things about that game, I could win a few times but the majority of the time, hid brother won.

"That being said that does not change the fact that Corsea always is three or two steps ahead of us." Noel pointed out making Jaune break his smug expression and make a clumsy face.

"You don't need to downplay it like that Bro." The Younger Arc said.

"I am not discouraged you I merely stating what I see happening." Noel explained, while he wasn't as smart he always try and see the bigger picture in the most realistic way possible " I meant it does happen all the time, That's why I don't spect to win every time you ask her to play."

"Do I need to remind you of the moment you and I won?" Jaune said " Also CCG is very different from chest"

Noel Merely nodded thought He remembers that he Rarely wan and Jaune had more success rates that him, though they get absolutely demolish in chest went Corsea and his mother asked to play that game.

" anyway why are you going to the Garden? " the Younger arch asked.

" I was to go to the garden to rest." Noel answered the question, while he raised his left arm and started swiveling it in from of his brother, he would like to point the limb out but his hand decided to go the other direction " Is Tired you see."

Jaune wince at this " ah.. sorry."

" Dont worry about it," Noel said hand waving clumsily with his left arm.

" You were also drawing with it right?" Jaune changed the subject " I imagine that your picture didn't end up how you like it."

" Half decent actually…" Noel paused" at least I think."

" Hey like mother said if is Ok is the same as being good." Jaune declared remembering what their mother teach " am I wrong?"

Noel just merely smile at it " yeah you are right, but still think " strangers are just friend you didn't meet yet" does not apply to all situations"

Jaune and chuckled a little at what their mother advised then, went she said that the first time went he was 9 Noel just came up saying that over-analyzing the prase, it was amusing the face, that their mother made went he said it.

Then Noel remembered something.

" Jaune you wanna know something?"

" he what is it?"

" I am going to get into a combat school," he confessed to his brother

" No Way!" Jaune gasped in excitement" Is going to be the same school?"

"yes, Vale combat school. " Noel responded to his brother's curiosity with still a happy expression on his face.

event if he thought about the worse, the uncertainty made him dread the future and his fear of risking his life.

Perhaps it would be a bad idea to go into one of those schools after all
