Weiss Reacts to One Punch Man, Part 2!

A/N: Welcome, one and all, to the latest rapidly written chapter of Weiss Reacts! Woo! We're trying to get ever closer to the thing I've been waiting to write, and believe me, it'll be a doozy. Anyway, the next- and most awesome half- of One Punch Man is coming up, so let's go! Hoo boy, I apologise in advance for what's going to happen at the end, but I swear, I planned this before canon was a thing. Canon basically made half my plans for this volume look like minced liver. Oh well, what am I gonna do?

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise Vivi would be made into a canon character for RWBY Chibi (and I'll be the first to say I CALLED THIS SERIES with Vivi).

One Punch Man belongs to ONE. The anime belongs to ONE and Madhouse. Warning for spoilers.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.

"G-get off of me!" Weiss squirmed, as she managed to finally crawl out of her girlfriend's embrace. "R-Ruby!"

Ruby pouted. "Come on, Weeeeeeiss! Can't I appreciate my girlfriend being cute?"

"…..w-why do you have to be so embarrassing about it?!" The heiress sighed, calming down. "…..good grief. You and your sister are a lot more similar than I thought. Why do I keep forgetting this?"

"Sorry…." The reaper replied. "I just want to show you how much I love you, you know?"
"…..tch." Weiss sighed. "You know, a peck on the cheek and a hot chocolate does it better than glomping me onto the floor every time I do something you find cute.

Still…..it's just you, isn't it? Being an adorable idiot…."

Ruby giggled, before giving the aforementioned peck. "Awww. Thanks!" She pulled herself up, before pulling the heiress to her feet. "…should we continue watching this?"
"As stupid as I find it, I'm finding it rather interesting, I must confess. Thanks, by the way." Weiss dusted herself off, resuming her seat. "…..tch. I still don't appreciate being compared to some green-haired lost brat, though."
"S-sorry about that…." Ruby chuckled nervously as she sat back down. "I-I promise, I won't do that again."
"Thank you." The heiress smiled at her. "…..now, where we were?"
"Episode Seven. We'd just finished the one where they, err, Saitama nearly got struck off the hero registry thing because he wasn't doing his job." Ruby reminded her. "Oh, wait! We missed the Fubuki thing!"
"…Fubuki?" Weiss inquired, confused. "Who?"

"Oh, she's a character Yang really likes in this show." The reaper explained. "She's the person who did the preview of this episode. I think we saw her already.

Weiss' expression suddenly darkened. "Oh, I can guess why. Is this…..Fubuki person either a pervert or is an object of perverted urges?"
"...well, my sister thinks she looks hot. Is that what you meant?" The reaper responded sincerely. Weiss groaned.

'Exactly as expected. Well then.'
"Yeah. Alright then." Weiss clapped her hands together, rubbing them. "Alright! Let's get on with this!"

Episode 7

"As expected, the people prefer a pretty face to a genuine competent." Weiss grumbled, shaking her head. "How predictable. Well, I'm not quite being fair, considering Genos is competent…..

He just isn't Saitama."

"Fair point." Ruby shrugged. "…And they call themselves heroes, and yet none of them actually do anything about the giant meteor..."
"Bunch of incompetents." Weiss grumbled, pinching the bridge of her nose. "What, seriously?! These kinds of fools are wasting their time and they're not even bothering to try to stop this thing because they don't want to team up? Sometimes, I seriously think this Genos person and the baldy are the only people who have any semblance of competence in this world!

And he couldn't even destroy it himself….come on, Genos, quit worrying! Just blow the thing up! Listen to the old man! He knows what he's talking about!"

"Come on, Saitama, save him!" Ruby cheered along. "Yes! YES!"

Weiss sighed. "Of course, Saitama can just punch apart a meteor. No problem! Just wait for the thousands of shards you created to splatter everyone else! Well, at least it's better than dying horribly from a single impact….but still!

Oh, wonderful! Well, once again, he gets no credit because they'd rather pin it on a pretty face than him! Bless Genos for trying, but come on!"

Ruby nodded. "He's right. If the heroes run away, who'll stay to help? Isn't that the story of our lives?"
"…..hmph. Even if some of us are incompetents, we still have a duty to fight for the safety of everyone here." Weiss conceded. "Good point.

…..oh, you ingrates! Yes, of course, insult the guy who saved all of your lives and try to kill him! That's right!" Weiss snapped. "Show those idiots how it's done! And of course, come on! Give those idiots a piece of your mind! Trying to complain about losing their houses….they should be thankful they're even alive to complain!

Tch."

Ruby chuckled. "You're really getting into this, aren't you?"
"He may be a bald idiot, but those people are even stupider than that!" The heiress snapped. "It's like they've never been taught manners or something! What do they expect, a hero to give them a free handout every time he uses their car to smash a monster in the face? Good grief."

Episode 8

"…..of course." Weiss facepalmed. "Will these monsters ever learn not to mess with him?!"

Ruby shrugged. "Maybe they just haven't heard. You know?"
"Clan of the Seafolk. Great. Now there are actual squid people invading the surface!" The heiress snapped. "What is with squid people and invading the surface?! What, isn't krill and water to breath in enough for you or something?

Wait. Puri-Puri Prisoner. Who's this joker?"

Ruby was suddenly hiding behind a nearby table. "Hehehehehe…..Weiss….don't get too mad."
"Mad? Why would I be mad?" The heiress inquired, before hearing why Puri-Puri Prisoner was in prison.

"…WHAT KIND OF IDIOT PERVERT IS THIS STUPID HERO?! GET THIS ABOMINATION OUT OF MY FACE! Going into prison to force yourself upon people you think look nice….WHAT KIND OF PERVERT ARE YOU? And stripping yourself naked too! What kind of heroic organisation let a borderline…GAH! And why is this moron spending his time talking on a talk show instead of being out there to do something?"

"You'll see in a minute." Ruby reassured her. "…..and aww…..Mumen Rider's going to get destroyed going up against him. Come on Genos, come on…."

"Good Dust, these people are incompetent." Weiss grumbled. "How in the world can these people keep out so many monsters when half the people with superpowers don't do anything and the vast majority seem to be arrogant scumbags or powerless?!

And….good Dust, he just chewed through them! At least who seem to be the only two competent heroes in this setting are going to do something about it…."

Ruby began squeeing. "Oooooh the next episode is going to be awesome!"

"Why?" The heiress looked at her, confused. "What happens?"
"Just wait and see!" Ruby implored her. "It'll be awesome! Just wait!"
"…..alright." Weiss sighed. "I'll take your word for it, but I can't see why Saitama wouldn't just devastate that thing in one hit."
"It's not that he doesn't do it…..it's that….just watch it!"

Episode 9

Weiss nodded. "Hmph. Come on, Genos, show this fool how it's done! At this rate, we won't even need Saitama to beat him, if he can beat him with literally one arm….

….a true hero indeed." Weiss remarked, cringing. "…he saved that girl but…that must hurt….especially considering his past…."
Ruby cheered. "YES! Mumen Rider! Show him what you've got!"

"Is this fool suicidal?!" The heiress snapped. "He'll kill himself trying to fight him! Come on! Just get him out and run…..no.

Come on. Don't you die here, you fool. "

The reaper clung to Weiss' side. "He'll be fine, b-but…..I-I'm still really worried about him…"

"Come on Saitama. Show him how it's done." Weiss cracked her knuckles. "Trash? Hmph. You're worse than trash. He doesn't even seem to-

Wait. Did he even punch him?! Where did the rain go?! Good Dust, that's ridiculous...he literally just blew half of his skin off with that punch….oh, you have got to be kidding me. Some idiot is acting like an arrogant fool and demanding protection? How many…..no, Saitama, don't. Come on!

Wow. He just…..he just hung himself out to dry and got all of the hate for it." The heiress stared at
the screen in disbelief. "…..wow."

"Yeah." The reaper smiled. "He's a true hero. And…..awww…that's so sweet! At least one person likes him, right?"
"…good to know there's someone else who acts decent in this city full of ingrates." Weiss sighed. "At least these people know to let him go up in ranks…..

Oh, so it's Mumen Rider who likes him. Well, that's one more fan of him. Just the entire rest of the world left to go."

Episode 10

"Oh, good Dust, so this green-haired girl is basically the psychic equivalent of Saitama." Weiss grumbled. "And…..what kind of clothing is she wearing?! How old is she? Is that even legal?!"
"She's twenty-eight, or something." Ruby recalled. "I think."

Weiss stared at the screen in disbelief. "…..twenty-eight, and yet she looks as young as we do. And not in the way Pyrrha's mother does, either. I'd imagine Velvet would be all over this."

Elsewhere….

Velvet sneezed.

"…..Weiss-senpai remembered me!" Velvet squeed happily, doing a little dance on the spot. "Finally! I got some more screentime!"

Back with Ruby and Weiss…..

"…so a glutton, the pervert, the green-haired chihuahua, and the old man who's actually sensible." The heiress facepalmed. "This world is doomed. At least they had the good sense to call Saitama in, even if half these fools don't know he could just break them in half."

"Well, none of them have the ability to predict the future like that woman did…." Ruby pointed out. "Even so, though, you'd think they'd be a little smarter about it…."

"Oh, good Dust, an alien invasion." Weiss declared. "This ought to be bad. Wait, wait…..did that guy just chop his arm off?!"
Ruby nodded slowly. "Yep! This is when it begins."
"When what begins?" The heiress looked confused. "All I'm seeing is these fools failing to-oh. That's what you meant.

Of course, Saitama's just going to annihilate this next bunch of fools. Well, hopefully they can put up a fight, right?"

The reaper nodded. "You're a lot better at predicting things that you used to be, you know?"

"When I have to spend my time around people like your sister all day long, suffice to say, even someone such as me becomes a little more like her." The heiress admitted. "Don't ever say I said anything like that about her, by the way. She'd get a little too happy about it.

And this Tatsumaki person…..she's seriously irritating me. What kind of spoiled brat…."

Episode 11

"They should be worried about the human invader in their ship!" Weiss snapped. "Good Dust, does everyone have some sort of idiotic curse stopping them from taking any potential threat seriously?

And how much can that thing take?!"

Ruby tilted her head. "Oh, they'll realise soon enough what's actually going on."

"…..not that that'll help them." The heiress pointed out. "….aaaaand there's his weak spot! Well, that was quick. Wait…..what, you think your psychic powers and your black hole thing will stop him-I didn't even finish that sentence and he just blew his head apart with a pebble! What?!"
"You think that's bad?" Ruby noted. "Look at this!"

"Good Dust, she just…..how is that even possible? I mean, I know Pyrrha can do something similar, but she….did she just….what?!"
"Well, you did just see that Geru….whatever, his name's too long…..guy just make a black hole with psychic powers, was that really out of the question to turn the whole artillery barrage back with her mind?" The reaper pointed out. "Not that unlikely."

Weiss sighed. "…..oh, wonderful. Finally, this Boros guy gets off his backside and fights. Well, he won't last too long, even if he's supposed to fight and beat his equal. Assuming his equal's even Saitama to begin with-

Wait. Wait. What?! He….he survived a single hit from him! HOW?!"

"That's quite strong armor…." Ruby pointed out. "Even so…you have to give it to him, he actually survived being punched by Saitama….."
Weiss was in disbelief. "Maybe Saitama might actually have a worthy opponent for once, if he didn't even get wounded from that hit….I mean, it says a lot that he lived through that!

This fight just got interesting. I still think that even with his new power, this Boros guy will lose, but hey, at least he tried."

"They should count themselves lucky that Saitama's a good guy." The reaper pointed out. "The heroes, I mean.

I can't imagine what'd happen if he was a villain…."

"The world would fall against someone of that power…." Weiss remarked, shuddering at the thought.

Episode 12

"Well, this actually looks like a fair fight!" Weiss declared. "He's even throwing him around like a ragdoll! And he's trying to dodge!

Wait, wait, did he just throw him to the moon?!"

Ruby nodded. "Yep. Boros…..Boros really is something."
"He survived several punches from him and yet he's not dead. He's not even dead. What?!" The heiress stared at the screen in disbelief. "…..wait, wait, what is he doing?! That's….he's going to blow up the planet with that!

Serious Series. You mean….you mean to say that Saitama of all people can actually get stronger than that? He wasn't even being serious?! THAT was CASUAL?! HOW STRONG IS HE?! He just….he just punched something that was meant to blow entire planets in half with his f-fist! H-How did….I mean….what?!"

"Yep. That's just him, alright." The reaper nodded.

Weiss sighed. "….well then. It seems a pity. He would've been a decent fight…..and I must give it to Boros, he even survived to give him some last words. I suppose his regeneration saved him that much…."

The reaper nodded, frowning. "I feel a little sorry for him. All he wanted was an opponent…all both of them wanted was someone who could fight them on equal terms…."

"Also, what's the deal with this Amai Mask guy? Good Dust, he's messed up. Didn't even bother sparing the surrendering monsters." Weiss squinted, looking suspiciously at the screen.
"Yeah, he's…..pretty off. That's why I'm a little unconvinced that he'd be like Genos in another life….." Ruby nodded in agreement. "…..and….awww, we missed a potential fight between Tatsumaki and Saitama! Come on!"
"That wouldn't be a fight, if that Geru….whatever person is anything to go by." The heiress pointed out. "….although it is a bit of a pity, that after having fought that Boros guy, he has to go back to killing things in one punch…"

"…oh, well. It happens, right?" Ruby shrugged. "It's just the cost of training yourself to be that strong."
"…..well, that was something." Weiss noted. "…..well, things just went back to normal aaaaaand, well, now we have to wait for the next season.

Pity. I was actually looking forward to it."

Ruby's eyes widened. "Wait, so, did you like it?"
"….I suppose I did." The heiress admitted, sighing. "Thanks, Ruby, for introducing me to this. I'll…..keep it in mind for other things. Well….we should go check on Jaune, shouldn't we? Surely he's found Professor Faust by now, right?"

Ruby nodded in agreement. "Yeah…..he seemed pretty frazzled….we should go."

Both girls stood up, putting on their respective hoods and jackets, before heading out of the dorm. No sooner had they left the dorm door than they ran into Jaune. The knight had his hands in his pockets, looking down, as if thinking about something.

Weiss tilted her head. "…..is something wrong?"
"….h-hey." The knight stared at them, seeming distracted by something. "…..how are you two?"
"Jaune? Is something wrong?" Ruby inquired. "You look even more torn up than you did earlier…."
"….n-nothing." The knight sighed. "It's just…I need a moment."

He quickly walked off in the opposite direction from his dorm before either girl could stop him. Weiss looked to Ruby, confused.

"…..you know what's going on?" The heiress inquired, curious. Her girlfriend shook her head, shrugging.

"…..I really have no clue. Should we ask Ren and Nora?"

"…I have a feeling that if he won't tell us, he hasn't told them, either." Weiss noted, shaking her head. "No…this is something he wants to keep to himself.

I wonder what it is…."

END

A/N: And that was a nice excuse for me to go binge on One Punch Man! Anyway, enough of that, let's get on with the stuff! Next chapter begins the Mandatory Training Arc! Woo! This ought to be interesting!

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, suggestions, criticisms, comments, reviews and thoughts, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until-STINGER TIME!

Half an hour prior…..

"Look, Miss Cassandra. I appreciate your concern, but I have done all I can to protect Miss Nikos with as much magic as I see fit." Professor Faust reiterated, as her fellow professor sat in front of her, adjusting her glasses. "...there are no more actions I can take in her defence, unless I am to remain at her side constantly to maintain a protective presence around her."

"…I understand." Cassandra nodded back, breathing deeply. "….am I assured that you have done everything you can to ensure Miss Nikos' safety?"
"Anything less would be a betrayal of everything I swore to stand for as a teacher at this school." Professor Faust retorted calmly, adjusting her own glasses. "Now, please. I have a lesson to plan and several papers to mark. Unless you would like to converse about the magical arts, we have nothing more to speak about."

Cassandra stood up, nodding curtly to her, and pushed her seat in, turning to walk out of Professor Faust's office.

Professor Faust sighed, taking a moment to wipe her glasses, looking down at her papers, before gazing back at the door.

"…Mister Arc, you've been lurking outside for half an hour. Come in."

The knight stumbled in, looking concernedly at her. "O-oh! Professor Faust, I was-"
"You were going to come in here, to ask me if I could make it possible to communicate with Miss Nikos due to the storms preventing communications from entering the area around Mountain Glenn." The sage clarified. "Am I correct?"

Jaune looked stunned. "…..I-I…..y-yeah."
"….I must regretfully inform you that I cannot do that. Not without prior preparation." She clarified. "If I had known, I may have been able to create some sort of tether…..but it is too late.

Is there anything else, then?"
"…..a-actually…." The knight looked sheepishly down. "…t-there is."

Professor Faust stared at him. "…..well, speak up. What is it?"
"….c-could you….look into the future?"

"Sorry?"

"O-Only if you can do it with y-your…m-magic…." Jaune uttered. "I-I just wondered…C-could you see if….i-if Pyrrha….you know…." The knight refused to finish his sentence, but the professor caught what he meant.

"….of course. I had already done it before- I had actually done it after you and your friends had watched that….RWBY animation, am I correct? I had intended to speak with you about it, having heard you witnessed her fate in another timeline." The professor explained. "Normally, I would not do this for anyone, but….I am aware that your relationship with her is…close, yes? I felt that you deserved to know what might happen to her."

Jaune blinked. "Y-you were-"

Professor Faust sighed deeply and heavily, as if she was burdened by something.

"As much as my reputation has me, I do not desire undue suffering for others. That is why I teach people to fight the Grimm and to defend those who cannot fight. That is why I fight the Grimm myself. I am, as they would label me, a 'good guy'.

Nonetheless, it has never been my practice to sugarcoat revelations. I always find that if it is sugarcoated, people never take it as seriously as is warranted. That has caused much tragedy in the past, and I don't intend to repeat such disasters. And so I shall not afford you the luxury.

Mister Arc, do you still wish to hear what I have predicted for Miss Nikos?"

Jaune suddenly grew pale.

'…I-I have to hear this. I-I have to know if….if…'

"…yes. P-please. Tell me." The knight nodded, swallowing deeply. "D-don't hold back. Just tell me."

Professor Faust sighed. She looked frightened, suddenly, as if she hadn't expected the answer and yet had known what she was about to say.

"As you wish. I hold no responsibility for what actions you take from this revelation. I just preface it with the warning, that fate is not written, nor is destiny set in stone. People often forget that not all that is written cannot be rewritten or even erased."

'Even with what we did to protect them, she is still...no.

I have to tell Jaune. Maybe...he can do something about it. I refuse to let destiny succeed in this, at least.

I must tell him. It is the only way.'

The words Professor Faust spoke afterwards, at first, had not hit Jaune with the full gravity of what they really meant. He refused to believe them at first. He refused to believe that Professor Faust wasn't joking somehow.

They still echoed in his ears after he left in a cold sweat, trying to understand what he had just heard. He had to think. He needed to be alone. He needed to decide.

What would he do about what Professor Faust had told him. How to proceed from that. Whether it would be wise to.

And how he would tell Pyrrha what he had heard.

Thoughts of his partner ran through his head as he walked through the halls of Beacon, replaying the words in his head over and over, hoping to see some sort of loophole, some sort of escape hatch, some way of keeping her safe.

The alternative was unthinkable.

"Miss Nikos is doomed to die. She shall be slain in battle. She shall die young, cut down before her time. She shall perish before she has even left these halls.

Do with that what you may.

I am sorry, Mister Arc."
