"Weiss, are you sure this won't hurt me?" Jaune Arc said warily as he eyed the clock glyph that Weiss had created.
Weiss huffed, "I am positive! It's just a glyph to slow down time, it shouldn't cause trouble as long as I hold it steady."
Jaune sighed and stepped onto the glyph. A jolt traveled up his body and he shivered at the odd sensation now enveloping his body. Except it looked like he was slowly trying to form a twitch that began from his toes and slowly traveled to his head. He tried to turn his head but he couldn't even move it as fast as he usually could.
"Okay Jaune. It seems this worked. I am now going to overlay the effect with another glyph, okay? Blink one for yes, twice for no."
Jaune blinked once.
Weiss nodded and flashed a glyph below him. At this Jaune looked as though he wasn't moving. He slowly blinked and stood stalk still.
Weiss leaned in and carefully inspected him, "Jaune are you okay?"
He slowly blinked once.
"Alright," Weiss said, "I am going to see if I can reverse the effect with this experimental time dust, okay?"
He blinked once.
She poured the new dust into the chamber of Myrtenaster and pointed it at Jaune before swiping it down.
Then things went wrong.
Weiss was panicking at smoking lump of clothing she had reduced Jaune to. Oh god, she had just killed Jaune. Pyrrha was going to brutally murder her and that was only before Nora and Ruby found out!
Just then the lump of clothing shifted.
Weiss ran forward and carefully peered at the clothes, "Jaune?"
A child-like voice replied, "Someone help, I can't see!"
And that was why Weiss was now behind a adorable kid who looked like a cherub and was staring around at the people around him.
"Wow!" He chirped, eyes bright and wide with excitement, "This is so cool! Miss Weiss, can you believe it? These pretty people are huntsman!"
Pyrrha, Yang, and Blake were internally squealing at the sight of this tiny little boy who was still toddling around in Jaune's oversized hoodie which had been rolled up to give him a somewhat more fitting set of clothing to cover his modesty.
Nora and Ruby were squealing externally.
Even Ren couldn't help the smile that stretched over his face at the boy's eager look.
"Yes Jaune." Weiss cooed, patting his head, "I know, we just need to talk to the headmaster, okay?"
When the child Jaune head poked out of the hoodie's head and looked at her, even Weiss couldn't help but squeal at the sight of the little boy who looked just like an angel.
Unfortunately, there was no way to tell when Jaune would turn back into a teenager.
"Can one of you carry me?" He murmured, poking his finger together and shyly looking up through his bangs, "I mean you don't hafta, but-"
At this Pyrrha couldn't help it and swiped Jaune up and hugged him, "I'd love to! Can I?"
He blinked but nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah!"
She placed him on her hip and he gently wrapped his arms around her, "Thank you... Um..."
"My name is Pyrrha."
"Pyrrha! Thank you Miss Pyrrha!"
