GRAPHIC VIOLENCE WARNING

Balisong was training back at Niflheim. They were trying to calibrate the scope of their rifle by trying it on the range

Minerva would walk up behind him

"Hey...Balisong. Do you have a minute?"

He holds his hand in the air for a moment then pulls the trigger

"Missed. A bit to the right should do it. So. What is it now, Minerva?"

"Well. I was wondering...Maybe we can go for something today since...You know...Canale is having the carnival and what not?"

"You know I'm not particularly sociable"

"Yeah. But life isn't just duty, you know?"

"You're too cheery for a soldier. Fine, I'm in"

Balisong would end up calibrating his scope then test it

Oh. Sorry...At least that is what would happen in...special days. Normally, it would either be an invitation to spar or something related to the job

Yeah, I know. I'm breaking it for you. But again. I didn't invite you here. You're reading without my consent so I think I might as well still have the allowance to disturb you

Well. Lets leave it at...You're not wanted here but I'm stuck here with you until I find a way out. Although...Maybe I already did...Just not at this moment you're reading in right now. You have to know where to look

What is your purpose reading these? Filling a void maybe? Releasing frustration? Searching for answers? It's not my concern. So I can actually care less about what that purpose may be

But...maybe there is one answer I may be able to give you. About a certain someone you and I know well. But maybe this isn't the right time to answer those doubts. You know who I'm talking about, don't you? You've known all along

So. While I get you the answer lets see...other times

Balisong and Minerva had been sent alone to a mission on Mistral. Lots of Huntsmen had been reported missing, which was the opening Maelstrom had been waiting for in order to strike Haven and obtain the Relic of Knowledge

"AARGH! FUCK"

Balisong slashed the Huntsman's face again. They had him tied to a chair

"Don't make this harder for yourself...How do we access the Haven vault?" asked Minerva

"Fuck you"

Balisong shot the Huntsman right in the hand. That was the third time he had to shoot him. Only 7 fingers remained in the Huntsman hands now

"How. Do we access. The Vault. You only have 7 fingers left before you become handicapped"

"Arghh...I really Don't know. Only that fucking lion guy knows"

"Lion guy?"

"Yeah. He's the headmaster but nobody really likes him"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The guy is a coward. Kind of ... ironic for a lion, but what can you really expect from a Faunus?"

Balisong does a couple extra cuts on the guy

"What is wrong with you, you racist motherfucker" says Balisong

"What is wrong with me?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TIED ME TO THE FUCKING CHAIR AND HAS BEEN CUTTING MY...FUCKING FACE FOR THE LAST 4 HOURS!"

Balisong does another cut then folds the butterfly knife back into the pocket in their vest

"Alright. You don't want cuts? It's fine..." says Balisong, as he pulls out a yellow Dust crystal

"We can do something different until you tell us what we want!" he continued, before impaling the Huntsman hand with it

The Huntsman immediately began shaking, trembling due to the sudden surge of electricity

Balisong held him for 10 seconds with that Crystal, then pulled out

"Ahh...I'm asking again...How do we access the vault?" said Minerva, looking away

"You need to find the Spring Maiden" the Huntsman immediately replied

"What do you mean find? Wasn't she secured at your academy?"

"She escaped. Ever since we haven't found her"

Balisong looked at the guy

"I'm serious...We haven't found her yet. We don't know where she is" says the Huntsman

"Hmm. Are you sure you haven't found her?"

Truth is...they really didn't...But we didn't know back then but...Anyways, not like the man would have lived longer after all that. However. Its actually humorous how everybody is so stubborn and so "tough" until they are faced with inevitable pain. Then...It's only a matter of time, but everybody has a breaking point
