"I want to become a huntsmen..."

"What's that? What did you want to become?"

"I want to become a huntsmen! A hero! I wanna get better, to protect friends, family, everyone!"

"And how are you going to do that?!"

"By studying! Training! So that I get into Signal Academy!"

"That's the spirit! I'll wake up you tomorrow morning, we have lots of stuff to plan."

The young boy woke up after what happened yesterday. He still couldn't believe that someone's going to help him achieve it, it felt great. He had a bright smile on his face today, because...

Today was the day Sieg's going to help him plan out the goal of attending Signal.

"Jaune! Wake up! It's morning!" Johnathon said. "Hurry! Don't want your breakfast cold!"

"Okay!" Jaune stood up from his bed and went to the kitchen.

Lo 'n behold, Siegfried appeared inside Jaune's room. Who looked quite relaxed on his bed, the nice fresh air from the opened window.

"Alright. Mission: Get Jaune to become more experienced before Beacon is a go!" He said. "Since the kid seems to be healthy, but not packing underneath some muscles could be a problem."

Sieg hummed, going through the door and noticing Jaune's family eating together. "...Right..." He let out a sad smile. "Must be nice, huh...? A family get-together, no divorce, arguments. He's lucky to have a stable relationship between them. Good for him..." He sat on the stairs, looking at his transparent body.

'I'm having trouble getting used to being a spirit. Can't exactly touch stuff here and there. I mean, I can sit down like right now, but I can't feel other people. Jaune's a bit iffy as there's being touchable and not. There must've been something Death didn't explain right.' Sieg scratched his hair. 'Eh, whatever.'

"Bro, are you okay...?" The same sister from yesterday asked Jaune worriedly. "Why were you crying?"

Jaune looked at his little sister with a small frown. "Well, I tried asking Mom and Dad to let me be a huntsmen-"

"Why?" She pouted. "You're safe with us!"

Knowing that she'd say that, Jaune shook his head with a sigh. "Maybe." He looked at Sieg and smiled. "Oh! But I made a new friend! Wanna meet him, Jenny?"

"A friend?! Really!? Who?" Jenny smiled.

Sieg laughed nervously. "Um, Jaune..."

"Look where I'm pointing?" He pointed at the stairs, his little sister complied and saw no one. "Meet, Sieg!"

"Jaune...?" Jenny tilted her head. "Who are you pointing at?"

"Who? It's him! Sieg!" He said. "You see him don't you?"

She looked back once more, nothing was there in her perspective. "Are you okay...?"

"Huh...?"

Sieg stepped down and sighed. "No one else but you can see me, or well, I made it work that way." He answered. "Sorry about not telling you sooner."

Jaune slumped. "Well, thanks for telling me. Now I look crazy." He said. "She'll probably think you're my imaginary friend..."

The reincarnated spirit grinned. "Probably." He eyed Jenny and smiled. "D'aw she's so adworable!"

"Heh, yeah. Jenny's the sweetest of the family." Jaune said.

"Mom... I think Jaune's losing it..." Jenny called.

"Uh oh."

Sieg raised a brow. "Let me guess... Overprotective Mom?"

"Yep..."

"Hoh boy..."

Suddenly, Nadia, the mother of Jaune Arc approached her angel carrying a med-kit. "Sweetie are you sick?! Fever?! Fell down?!" She asked so many questions that Sieg laughed at the scene displayed.

"N-No Mom, I'm fine." He said, trying to ease his Mom. "See? Nothing hurt."

Jenny looked at Nadia. "Jaune said he made a friend-"

"You did?!" Her eyes narrowed. "Is it a boy... Or a girl?"

Jaune started to sweat. "Um, it's a boy!" With that, he noticed Mom giving him a big hug. "Ack!"

"Oh I'm so proud of you! How did you meet him?" She asked. "Could I see him soon?"

"U-Uh..."

Sieg sighed. "Tell her that you made a Pen-Pal." He looked at Nadia's scroll. "We usually exchange letters because I don't have a scroll yet."

"A Pen-Pal?" He asked.

"Oh... Since when did you share letters with someone else?" Nadia interrogated. "I never saw any letters of this Pen-Pal of your's in the mail."

"That's because I usually wait for it to come and write back outside!" Jaune replied, trying not to get caught. "'Cause you know...! He's cool!"

"Mhm..." She raised a brow.

Jaune and Sieg both started to sweat a lot more when she hummed.

Nadia gave Jaune a small pat. "Well, it's terrible to hear that he's far away... But I hope he visits our home soon."

Jaune looked at his big brother, who chuckled. "I hope so too..."

"Alright Jaune, I'm gonna go to work now." His mother gave a small peek on his cheek. "Take care!"

That intense look Jaune's Mother gave was one of the most horrible feelings Sieg ever had. "Ah, Moms... Do not incur thy wrath of thee Mothers." He said. "What about your sister, though?"

Jaune looked at his little sister who raised her head. "Ooooh... So you think he was here 'cause you're best friends?" She asked.

"Y-Yeah! I wish he was here. So we could play and do everything boys do." He laughed nervously. "Must've gotten tired after yesterday!"

"Then you should stop eating Pumpkin Pete's cereal!" She said. "It's not good for you!"

Sieg snickered. 'She's not wrong. I checked the back of the box and boy is that sugar high.'

The two members of his family left, Jaune frowned. "Why didn't you possess me?" He asked. "Instead of... You know? Lying?"

Sieg shook his head. "Not a good idea. If I were to possess you here and now. Then they would get a panic attack because a ghost is possessing their golden angel." He said, Jaune understood as he felt a slight shiver. "Lord knows I don't want to get smacked by your Mom. She's scary enough as is."

Jaune chuckled. "That's Mom alright." He said, going back up the stairs. "We're gonna start that, right?"

Sieg nodded. "It's about time we do, better now than never." He said. "Get pieces of paper and pencils. Because you have up to 4 months before Signal Academy's registration ends."

"Right!"

"Okay Jaune." Siegfried looked at the paper he wrote. "First thing's first is doing exercise routines on a daily basis."

"Ugh..." Jaune frowned. "Seriously...?"

"Yes. If you do, then you'll feel much more confident and energetic enough to not be lazy." Sieg crossed his arms. "That's what everybody does in order to get a good start. So we won't be pulling weights that your body can't take right now."

"Why?"

"Because doing so would make your body burnout and likely give up on the first day. Start small, then take the heavier objects in due time." Sieg answered. "But there is a catch. You must do the correct form."

Jaune raised a brow. "Wait, correct form? Would that mean if we don't do it, it'll hurt more?"

"Bingo. Without doing any form of routine, some parts of your body will hurt more than less." He said. "Speaking of, don't stop doing it, even if you pass the written exam. I have a feeling that you'll need every fiber energy in the second part."

The blond boy sighed. "This is gonna take a while, huh?"

"Yeah. But don't worry about it, time will pass when you start getting used to it." The spirit assured his fellow brother. "Last but not least..." He looked at Jaune, who was starting to sweat bullets.

"Please don't tell me...?"

"You're gonna have to go on a diet." Sieg laid down the hard cold fact. "That means you're not eating any more of Pumpkin Pete's cereal."

"N-No more Pumpkin Pete's cereal...?" Right there, Jaune started acting dramatic by going down on his knees and throwing his arms up the air. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Before Jaune was going to tell me how horrible a thing to do, I reminded him that once he's fit and everything. He can go back to eating it, only on cheat days. Which is another thing he accepted the moment I mentioned eating whatever you want for that day alone.

And so! We finally made our schedule, to which I call... THE AMERICAN DREAM PLAN! Copyrighted by All-Might, from Boku No Hero Academia.

In all seriousness, the way it'll work out is similar. A bit more intense like Deku did by overworking himself given that state period of time he had. Since Jaune recently turned 14, that would likely mean we're on a time limit.

I knew this by possessing Jaune's body, not that he'll know. His family actually has a computer variation of a scroll. And I wasn't disappointed by its specs. Hey, I like checking out if they have a fast PC, like a Gaming/Editing/Rendering hybrids. Those are rapid beasts I tell ya.

Anywho, I researched the process of a student enrolling in that school and... Jaune could get a decent score in the first exam, but it's all up in the air with the second. Apparently Signal Academy only passes people who scored around 60% on both the Written and Battle exams. Yes, you heard me right. We have to fight a professional huntsmen to see if we can take them or not. And yes, that means Jaune needs to "get gud" at using his family heirloom's weapon; Crocea Mors.

That'll end quite well considering it's not a gun, but hey, the classics am I right? The victor's declared by whoever has a higher aura reserve than the other with a scroll.

There were exceptions based on the applicant's pure skill and being a strategist. I know for one thing Jaune's a great thinker from the volumes of RWBY itself proving this claim.

Here's what I'm wondering about the aura management... Is it cheating if I switch with Jaune since I'll have more aura than the examiner?

Shit. Death told me that when I take control, I have a sinister aura along with the edgy look so it's likely. Damn, and here I was gonna be sneaky doing that in case Jaune's about to lose. Ah well, whatever.

It took a while to find out what time and day Jaune's free because his parents stay almost half the entire day. And they'd be suspicious about him doing something like this. He pointed out how Mom's smart so she'll put the pieces together eventually. His Dad, too since he's been a huntsmen for his life.

I would've understood Johnathon's perspective on this if he was more specific. Instead of telling Jaune the dark manifestations resembling animals he already knows about. Like, how some might do it for fame, money, killing... Sheesh, that's dark to mention.

And it's about 5:00 PM right now. Oh, his parents returned a few hours earlier. They work in the early shift, wanted to mention 'cause Johnathon kicked the door and yelled "I'm home!" with Nadia yawning.

"Okay little bro, that should be everything," I spoke up, Jaune tired from writing this in. "And, since today's gonna be your last day before we start The Plan, go ahead and do your thing."

"Finally!" Getting up from his small chair, he noticed Mom opening the door. "Oh, hey Mom!"

"Hey sweetie, guess where we're going today?" Nadia cheered. "We're shopping in Vale today~! Right now! So go get ready, we'll be leaving in 30 minutes!"

"Alright!" His mother closed the door. "Oh, brother... Shopping..."

Sieg raised a brow. "Let me guess... We're gonna be there for a long time aren't we?"

"Yep."

"Clothes shopping?"

"Most likely."

"...Bring it on."

Turns out Jaune's family usually catches a ride by calling close to a station. I was gonna lose my mind if we're living near Patch because by god meeting Canon characters a curse.

I will say that it wasn't a very far trip, albeit taking around an hour and a half to get there.

Noticing that said kiddo's trying to doze off, I blew air into his ear, or words I guess. Hey, I know it's rude but it does the job.

He woke up startled, realizing that he was gonna sleep, muttering a thank you.

"No problem," I said. "Aaaand we're here."

The transport stopped, as two doors opened. The big blond family got out of the car, so did I instead of floating. I know that I'm a ghost, but I wanna feel more alive and restricted ya know?

"Hey Sieg," Jaune whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever went to Vale before?"

I shook my head. "No... It's my first time being here."

Jaune smiled. "Well, here we are! I'll show ya around how cool it is Big Bro!"

"Alright, alright, make sure to stick with Mom and Dad. Don't wanna get lost 'n all." I warned.

"Geez... You sound like Mom."

"Oi, don't compare me to her. She's a scary woman I don't wanna mess with." I frowned. "Ah hell, what are we waiting for?"

From there, Jaune introduced the areas that weren't crowded since it was a busy day. I won't lie, they bring a hard bargain for new customers.

It also felt surreal visiting each one too. Because last I remember not a lot of scenes in RWBY showed how most stores look inside. Besides that one bar and Tukson's bookstore. I will admit that the interiors were both pretty and cool.

Oh right, Tukson dies in his store around the second season. Shit, I gotta deal with Cinder's two loyal servants while not letting the poor guy die! Aaah that's gonna suck for the two of us, especially Jaune's body. Whatever. That ain't happening anytime soon so I'm not worried.

After taking the time to go sight-seeing. Jaune bought everything he'll need for these four months before they left. First, he lets his family go first. Shoving a few things I couldn't see but it kept the proteins and various things.

Heading to the exit, everyone continued strolling down the peaceful area.

"Hey, Sieg. What do you think about Vale now?" He asked.

"If I'm being honest? I didn't think it'd be this big..." I commented. "Place's peaceful too, especially the somewhat old man who we see everywhere."

Yeah, so the old man that works in every store has some hair before the old age makes him completely bald. I gotta say, he's a very hard worker. He deserves a big raise man.

"Yeah..." Jaune smiled. "I can't wait..."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait to go to Beacon," He said. "After graduating at Signal of course..."

"Don't get your hopes up Jaune," I smirked. "That's if we get in Signal. Besides, that's like in 4 years."

Jaune laughed. "Yeah. I know."

I whistled. "Boy does your Mom like buying everything she sees..." We saw Nadia carrying several things with her monstrosity of power. "Guess she was piling up all her coupons for today, huh?"

"Yep."

"Alright, kids! It's time to go!" Johnathon called, dialing up his scroll. "Make sure you have everything in check, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Good thing we went ahead and got everything we could before your Mom started to get worried." I pointed at the protein powders. "Those should hold up for long, as long as we keep this a secret, right?"

Jaune looked away. "Ahaha... That's gonna be hard with a lot of my sisters here..." He replied. "But, I'm sure that they won't know since I have a good safe spot in my room where no one could know."

"Not even me?"

"...Uh."

"Nah I'm messing with ya." I noticed his family jumping onto their transporter's vehicle. "Well Jaune, ya best git movin'!" I said.

He took his heavy bags with full power to catch up with his family.

The moment we came back home from a great time there, except Nadia's random shopping spree. The young kiddos took a good hard-earned sleep.

Jaune set aside the equipment and packs of protein I recommended. That and he couldn't take his eyes off of comic books, or well, issues I guess.

I honestly thought that maybe DC or the Marvel Universe would be in Remnant, sad to say it didn't... I'm gonna miss you Stan Lee and your cameos...

So, I checked the covers of superheroes here and... Every single hero is of Huntsmen and Huntresses. Just in really tight spandex...

Wait, so that one episode of RWBY Chibi of The Huntsmen wasn't for shits 'n giggles? Huh, more you know.

Anywho, Jaune and I have begun his training montage! Well, Day 1 that is.

Let me tell you that today's progress was devastating. I mean, Jaune sucked, sure... But my god he's struggling. Even so, it's his first time. So doing something like this could change his habit, it's a start.

"I'm...so...tired..." He tried to reach for his water bottle. "So...sweaty..."

"That's usually how it goes when people start trying to lose fat and get muscles." I yawned. "Ain't easy, but you can see the effort working since you feel a bit sore." I leaned on the wooden chair, looking at the kid working hard.

"What...about...you?"

"You mean, what am I going to do? Well, I do have an idea of how I can help with the process." I smiled. "Well, to start. I'll be possessing your body only at night. Since you'll be asleep after working out, I could help study in your place for the meantime."

Jaune perked up. "What?! You'd do that for me?"

I nodded. "Sure! After all, I did promise that I'll help. The second part is on you though."

He slumped.

"Dude, I wish I could switch places with ya and take care of the combat. But they'd likely notice the difference between our aura."

"What's Aura...?" He asked.

"Oh right, your parents never told you. So, to dumb it down for ya. It's a manifestation of your soul, think of it like durable armor in video games where you don't take any actual lethal damage. Like weapons slicing off a limb, which only happens if your aura runs out so..." I said, he shivered at those thoughts.

"So, would that mean I have my Aura unlocked already?"

"Yessir. It must've unlocked the moment I appeared two days ago. Right, that's also where semblance comes into play... That is a different story."

"Why's that?"

"The only way when someone unlocks their aura's, either a semblance emerges immediately." I answered. "It depends on any emotional moments, situations, and etc."

"Would that mean you're my semblance?"

I hummed. "Not really. I can't exactly say for sure about it. But, some would believe it."

"So if we make it seem like it's more of a personality switch semblance. Then, they might believe it!"

"While I want to agree with that theory... There's also the part of their scrolls monitoring system." I added. "Our aura's different because of there's two souls in one body. At least that's what I think."

"Hey, maybe if you were to make your aura the same as mine? " Jaune suggested. "Like, try

"You're asking me to try and manipulate my aura?" I asked, he nodded. "That's gonna be tricky since I have zero knowledge about Aura Manipulation. I'll try and look out for any books about it in the scroll. When your parents aren't here that is..."

"Okay." Jaune finished his exercise routines and laid on his bed. "Phew, I'm beat..."

"You did good, kid," I said, trying to sound like Doc Louis from Punch-Out. "Feel the burn, already?"

"A lot..." He groaned. "I'm gonna have to do this five days a week?"

"Yep."

"It's going to be heck isn't it...?"

"You better believe it baby."

"Oum help me..." From there, he closed his eyes and passed out.

"Trust me, Jaune. This isn't even the worst of it." I grinned. "But, you will be happy with the results."
