Ethan sneezed from the smell of pepper in the air. 'Must be a restaurant nearby.' He surmises. he kept walking and heading back to Beacon after a grocery run. "YOU CAN BURN IN HELL YOU FREAK!" Ethan listens.
Ethan turns to the sound to see two humans ganging up on a Faunus. Said faunus was currently scared out of their mind. She just wanted to go home and look after her cat. Is it too much to ask? "Maybe I'll quicken the process myself!" The first human suggest whilst bringing up a bat in the air.
"Beat her Sweetie! It gets me wet to see you treat the animal like they should be treated." His girlfriend says. "Now die!" The man yells.
BANG!
The wide part of the bat fell to the ground as the man brought the handle to his level. Revealing a bullet had fired off the entire bat's body. "Hey man what the fuck?" He mutters. Click. The man felt cold steel on his head. "Leave." Ethan growls.
He shivers and backs away. before he ran off. Ethan turns to the girl who was shaking in her boots. "Ugly whore." Ethan insults before firing a bullet at her skirt. Just barely grazing her inner thigh and scaring the life out of the poor girl. If the yellow streaks were any indication. Ethan holsters his gun as the woman ran off crying. He turns to the mouse faunus girl and offers his hand. Despite her flinching. But she takes the offered hand after a little trepidation.
"You Okay?" Ethan asks. "Y-y-yeah. I-i-i should B-be." She says. Ethan smiles under his scarf. "Glad." He says before giving her a slip with a scroll number. "Need help? Call." Ethan offers as he grabs his grocery backs and heads to Beacon.
She watches his head off with awe. Before heading to her own home. Ethan hummed a tune as he boarded the airship and headed back to Beacon. "What's got you all cheery?" Cardin asks. He himself holding his own groceries. "Shot at racist." Ethan answers. "What? The people who tell the truth? Those animals should have been just killed o-" Cardin didn't finish when a bullet tore through his cheek. Making a hole.
"Correction. Shot A Racist." Ethan corrects himself. Bullet Thorn having been fired with a silencer attachment. "Now suffer." Ethan sourly states as he exits the bullhead.
(Later)
Oobleck noted how everyone was accounted for and nodded to himself. "Very well class! You are all on time. Now let us begin our journey. Come along now." Oobleck says. "Well let's get going then." Jaune says to his team.
"Right behind you fearless leader!" Nora cheers. "Got it." Ren says. "Indeed." Pyrrha smiles.
"Move out." Ethan orders. "Right!" Cupa says. "Alright." Reina says. Darrick just growls. "Shut it." Ethan tells him. As Darrick began to argue with Ethan, Jaune watched with hidden jealousy.
"Jaune?" Pyrrha asks. "How the hell can he look and act so cool?" He mutters. Pyrrha chuckles. Maybe because he just learned from his actions as a kid?" She suggests. "Maybe. I might talk to him later for any leadership tips." He says.
They enter the airship and gather at a room with a table and wall seats. Where Oobleck points out the areas they will explore. Ethan immediately felt drawn to a spot Oobleck ignored and coughed into his fist. "Why not that?" He asks pointing to the exact area.
"Well that area is still blocked off. Until we find a safe passage we cannot explore the area. Unless we can build a viable staircase we cannot." Oobleck states. Ethan grabs something from his back and somehow holds a massive deleaved tree.
"HOLY JESUS!" Darrick yells. Ethan taps it and it suddenly breaks apart into many cubes of Wood. Which he then arranged into a pattern that made some high end wood staircases. He got up and placed one of them down. "I can build." Ethan says as he reveals the stair to be physically stable despite no apparent support.
"That is Astonishing! Is this your Semblance?" Oobleck asks. "Nope. Charm." Ethan reveals as he opens the metal backhand plate. Revealing small tubes and a small pixilated pickaxe made out of blue diamond and dark oak wood. He shuts it closed. "The Craftminer's Charm." Ethan names it.
"What the fuck man? You have some cool artifact and didn't tell us?" Darrick asks. "You never asked." Ethan says as he punches the stair into pieces that reform into a smaller set of stairs he put with the other sets of stairs he made.
"That is so cool." Jaune says. "Thank you." Ethan thanks. Cupa squees in delight. "OH! OH! OH! CAN YOU MAKE A SMALL HOUSE THAT I CAN JUST BLOW PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PLEEAAAASE?!" She giddily asks. "No." Ethan says. "OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OF PLEASE! You have no idea how tempting it is to blow up constantly with my semblance." Cupa pleads. "Wait you too?" Nora asks. Ethan felt his body shiver in fright.
"Mistake have been made." Ren mutters in fear as Nora and Cupa chat. "Yes." Ethan agreed. "Well let's just focus on what Ethan can do. Ethan. You can build such amazing things with that one charm thingy?" Reina asks. Ethan nods. "Had it always." He says.
"Well if you are willing to help I see no problem in letting you build us a stairway into the ruins. What else can that charm do?" Oobleck asks. Ethan grabs his journal and flips to a certain page. "Here." Ethan says as he gives Oobleck the journal.
The Craftminers charm is to my knowledge an Artifact in a hidden compartment to my gloves. Can be removed for what I assume can be more charms. As the gloves seem to be a channeler for these charms. The specific abilities are more video game like than one would expect with an old relic. But it certainly makes things easier. It allows me to collect resources, (See page 76) and craft them into new things. Or store them into an Inventory I can use for later. It seems to act as a possible pocket dimension to use. Further research is clearly needed.
"My you certainly did your research. This is quite the discovery. May I ask to examine the Charm when we are do-" "No." Ethan snaps. "You'll steal it." He says putting another hand over his hand. "I assure you I won't but its your choice in the end." Oobleck replies as he gives Ethan's journal back. "Thank you." Ethan says.
Darrick looked at Ethan with growing jealousy. 'That little bastard.' he thought.
