Autumn decided to sleep in my bed from now on.

Maybe that kiss helped pull in the relationship?

Anyways,at 10PM the Vytal Dance is going to start and I needed to buy a new white tuxedo.

I went down to Petals & Thorns and asked for a custom white blazer,black dress shirt with white trousers aswell.

They had the option to give them comfy padding on the inside and Dustweave.

I decided to invest since I'm going to win the Vytal Festival in style.

Now I have no more forge money other than 10,000 lien that I saved in the bank and the extra 5,000 lien I gained for spending on the luxury deal for huntsmen in training.

It will be perfect,I'll be able to learn Dustcasting.

I took Autumn to the store and gave her the 10,000 she had in the bank for combat uniform:

She had a special dress saved for special occasions and I couldn't wait to see it.

I didn't tell her about the tuxedo I got in return,and I asked for it to be designed to resist ice and have Ice Dustweave instead of the general all elements one.

It was free since it was so expensive in the first place.

Autumn's clothing was ready at 7:35 and mine was ready at 9:40

"Damn,it must have been very hard work on this suit!"

"Thanks,most customers just complain about the time instead." The lady who made my suit smiled at the thoughtfulness.

"Yeah,I'm a Huntsman in training. I know all about unappreciated effort."

I left the store and met Autumn and saw her in a absolutely divine dress.

It was white with black star marks scattered around it,it was very formfitting and has a slit on the left side this time.

I saw her and was stunned until I realised it was 9:50 when she was shouting it at me to hurry up.

I changed into my white tuxedo and used my Ice Dustcasting to make smoke to obscure me as I exited the room.

I let the smoke fade to reveal me my tuxedo with blue lines running through the suit to indicate my Ice Dustweave.

I turned off the Dustweave and she hooked her arm onto mine as we walked into the hall just as the clock hit 10.

We danced around for a while until we got thirsty and decided to have a drink.

Somehow,I missed the fact the bottle we was chugging was a red wine bottle and so we became blackout drunk after that.

BOOOOOM! I woke up to a killer headache and looked around to see Autumn right ontop of me.

I thought the worst and looked down and then I sighed in relief.

"Horus,are you okay!" It felt like someone trained in the art of punching for a millennia decided to full power hook me in the face when their mum died.

"Yeah,I'm good. I need to piss badly though and also quiet down I have a hangover."

I went to the toilet and pissed for 5 minutes then came back.

Jeez,did I chug three bottles or something?

BOOOOOOM! "What was that?" I shouted over to Autumn. I have Aura so hangovers only last a minute.

"The CCTS is under attack! We need to go now!" She grabbed my arm and ran over to see 5 hunters dead on the floor...with holes in their throats...

No,not the flesh Grimm!

"Autumn,the flesh Grimm! They are here!" I looked over to her worried.

She saw the holes on their throat and started tearing up.

She hugged me and stated crying on my chest "Don't worry,I'll keep you safe just like last time."

I comforted her until I heard the screaming of the Grimm.

I blacked out.

I came back to see myself tearing apart these Grimm and having just used my Pressure Cannon to blast 15 of them at once.

Autumn is covering my back,shooting with pinpoint precision.

I see Black Haired Bitch come down after we exterminated all the flesh Grimm in the area.

"It seems you must have had an earlier encounter with our Hell Imps,maybe you was a survivor of a test run?" She said all I needed to hear as I rushed over to beat her again and I shouted "I have beaten you before,I can beat you again!"

"It was only my subordinate you defeated. She has a illusion semblance."

Two people with an illusion semblance in one team. What a joke. I used my Dual Buff and started slamming my sword with enhanced speed and weight onto her dual swords.

"Now becomes crushed by me,Cinder!" She let out a massive blaze sphere while I was close, I managed to stop it by holding onto her face and using my Ice dust to freeze it.

Making her focus her heat to her face to unfreeze it again "Ice vs Fire,seems you have the better control so far. She heated her blade to the point it was smouldering then Autumn shouted and said "I'm going to try and save the other people from the Grimm. Hold on there!"

I didn't show anything in my face but she knew I got the message.

I changed my tactics and switched to pure Ice casting,I can't duel with those blades.

I shoot a spear of ice at her and she turns it into steam with an equal fireball.

I remember that I can make a vacuum around her blades. She will be faster than she's used to and the blades won't be able to slice through mine.

I commence the plan and she doesn't realise her plan was nullified as I press onto the blades and slowly push her back into the flames.

She realised what I'm doing and jumps over me and shoots at me with a bow,I slice apart all the arrows then she splits her swords then charges at me for another dance macabre.

She slices too fast and leaves herself open and I take the opportunity greedily,slamming my blade onto her neck sending her crashing into the floor.

I move in for another slice when she rolls to the side and it turns out she switched to the bow while she was down.

I got hit twice and they hit hard enough I got sent into the flames,I make a platform with Ice and make another until in right ontop of her.

I dive at her while spinning.planning to drill her through.

She hits me with a massive pillar of flame when I decide to use Icestorm,I make as much of the smallest particle of ice (1,000 and snowflake thin and 2 cm tall)as I can then send it crashing down upon her like a rain of glass.

I hear a savage scream as the ice does its job then I as I keep falling down I do the complete opposite and make one particle of the biggest Ice Spear I can (1000 X 2 is 2000cm so 2cm circumference at tip then 2000cm at the widest part of the spear.)

A twenty meter wide spear smashes into Cinder and splashes across the entire area.

I make some platforms I can rest on while I check my scroll and my Ice Dust is almost empty.

Icestorm is more efficient while Giant Ice Spear is stupid as an idea,I should be making it more sharp.

I float down with my semblance and see that Cinder is nowhere to be seen.

"She must have escaped after the Icestorm,I love this suit!"

I look over to see where Ocean Wake is and notice it's melted. Damn,the heat must have got it when I got launched in the air a kilometre.

I checked my Aura,10% I WAS THIS CLOSE TO DYING. I think the Fire plume did most the damage.

I messaged Autumn to say that I'm fine and she replied "Nice,I saw massive flames and ice moves going on there. Is she there?"

I typed "Nah,she gone"

I need to buy a lot more Ice Dust,depending on how good I can make the weapons and how effective I am with its usage I won't need another weapon.

Perseus fought valiantly in the fighting,doing as much work as a team but he got hospitalised around the middle of the battle.

Autumn got her Aura down to 25% in a fight with a Alpha Beringel.

The Atlas military finally came with the reinforcements and blasted the Grimm away.

"How bad are our Hunters that they let this many Grimm in?" I asked Autumn

"They was on another side of a wall due to a false command by someone who hacked and destroyed the CCTS" Winter Schnee walked along and reprimanded me for my slander.

"Miss, I saw who did it. She was a woman with black hair and fair skin,she said her name's Cinder." I didn't tell her I fought her off somehow. I don't want to be made fun of.

"Well,do you know anyone who has Ice Dustweave." Well.never mind. "I do Miss,Me." I told her,she stared at me "Prove it".

I made the sharpest spear I have ever seen and started thrusting it making whistling sounds in the air.

Hmm,when I'm throwing spears at people I could just throw short rectangular sharp strips of ice.

At high speeds,it doesn't matter anyway. I made a shape about the same size as a poker card,made the edges extremely sharp,memorised it in my muscle memory and threw it at a wall at an angle so I cut it off.

"Ace of Cards"I made a name for the technique and I just remembered I was around people.

"You proved your Dustweave and casting now do you have a license?" She started grilling me for a license that doesn't exist.

"This is Vale,we don't have a license." I replied to her weird question.

"Hey Autumn,wanna go back home while Beacon repairs?"

"Sure" she said

We went back home and was greeted by Alicia and Dad. They congratulated me for finally getting a girlfriend and then had a massive feast at 1AM. We finished then fell asleep til 1PM
