"You two are gonna have to admit your feeling eventually," I said Pyhrra handing her another clip of ammunition.
It's only been two weeks since I convinced Taurus to work with me, I've gotten some deals with local arms companies to produce weapons for my army, and at the moment I'm having Pyrrha test them.
"He'll notice eventually," she said firing off another clip of ammunition.
"No he won't, for one I know the guy, remember my universe, animation, lives on a screen and all?" I said handing her more ammo.
"I know but that's not necessarily true this universe right?" She said looking at me.
"Possibly, but if you aren't gonna ask him out, I'll tell him myself," I said to her.
"Alright, go ahead," she said loading another clip.
"Mmokay then," I said shrugging.
The next day
"Arc, get over here, I've got a deal for you!" I shouted at him.
"Yeah what is it?" He asked.
"I need more Lieutenants for my army, and you've got a mind for tactics, so in exchange for training, you gotta be a lieutenant in my army," I said sticking my hand out.
"Erm, is that all you needed me to do," Jaune asked.
"Yep, oh don't get me wrong when you're a lieutenant you have to lead men into battle, it's one of the harder jobs in life," I said hand still stuck out.
"Alright I'll do it, I need the training," he said shaking my hand.
"Splendid, also Pyhrra loves you," I said tacking on that last bit, quickly at the end.
"She what?!" Jaune said shocked.
"I said she loves you, what you can't be blind right?" I said sarcastically.
"Uhh what do I say?" Jaune said panicked.
"I don't know, thought I would let you know...lieutenant." I said smirking.
"I mean my heart is set for Weiss," he said.
"And she doesn't seem to reciprocate, here is a woman who does love you, it's up to you on if you love her or not," I said patting his back.
"I-I guess, do you think I should ask her out or-"
"I don't know, ask her if she wants to go out for coffee or something, seemed to work for me with coco, I mean I stupidly mentioned my shock at not having to bribe her with a shopping trip, so I also had to pay for that, but still," I said exasperated, love was never my strong suit, mainly because I never seemed it and it didn't seek me.
"I guess, anyways who's coco?" He asked.
"Coco Adel, Daughter of the heads of the Adel line of fashion, leader of Team CFVY and currently single," I said shrugging, it's literally all I know from my conversation with her.
"Oh wow, and you got coffee with her...so you-"
"No just no," I cut him before he could start,"save those for when you're a father."
"Yes sir," he said nodding.
"In any case I'm going to introduce you to your sword combat instructor," I said gesturing for him to follow me. We get on an airship and fly for the main army base.
"Taurus, get over here!" I shouted walking into the army base's firing range.
"Yes sir, what did you need?" Taurus asked walking over, his old mask removed in favor of the standard issue combat helmet, which was a combination of a US M1 helmet and a clone wars phase one helmet, why is that the standard issue helmet, because I said so that's why, well that and I would have just made US M42 uniform the standard issue, but built in radios and the extra protection was too good to give up...that and I wanted to combine the two helmets, so back to the whole I said so that's why.
"I need you to train up my new lieutenant," I said shoving Jaune forward, "kid has a mind for tactics and wants to be huntsman, but has had limited combat experience compared to his peers, and practically no training," I said patting Jaune back.
"Alright, fine I don't see why I can't train you, what's your weapon," he asked.
"Erm this," Jaune said showing Crocea mors, according to the system a legendary relic, wielded by one of the best generals during the Great War of remnant.
"A relic," sighing Adam spoke, "is your family fine with modifications made to the weapon?" He asked.
"Yep, handed it to me and told me it was mine now," he said proudly.
"Good," Adam said looking over to a corporal he ordered the man to take it down to army ordinance to retrofit it with upgrades.
"So what will I train with and use in school?" Jaune asked.
Looking around I snatched up a training sword, one that could kill don't get me wrong, but one of a more modern make and would be closer to the retrofits that will be done to the weapon, and an M1 battle rifle, really it's an m1 garand but with some basic upgrades to make it a better rifle, while the Garand is a great battle rifle, it desperately needed more modularity for my army, I walked back to the kid and placed the two weapons in his hands, "Here kiddo train with these and go get a standard issue pistol at the depot before we head back," I said patting his back for the billionth time.
"Alright then," he said concerned.
"Now Arc was it, follow me to the arena and I'll teach you the basics," Adam said grabbing the kid.
Looking around I shrugged and decided to head to the army ordnance offices, gotta check in with the doctor and his daughter.
What's this, a doctor and a daughter who could it be...well I'll let you figure it out, it's quite obvious honestly.
Anyways have a great day gentlemen and uhh wear you seatbelts, yeah we'll go with that.
