A/N: And welcome back to the eleventh chapter of this story.
First and foremost, thank you guys so much for the support. Over 1500 views in this month alone and almost 2000 views in total. I'm glad I was able to write something that would interest so many people. Again, thank you guys for staying for ten chapters and I hope I see most of till the end of this story and the others I will make.
Speaking of new stories, I was thinking of starting to write a new one, and I want to share the main idea with you guys and telm me your opinion about it. In short, Warhammer 40k Death Korps style 'student' at beacon. (Not a crossover) I wonder what you guys think.
Anyway, I'll go back to this chapter.
General Pov:
It was a three weeks after Mave and Weiss started their training sessions. In the first week, it was mainly just exercises to get Weiss in shape, like running, some light weightlifting and basic stretching. Mave may or may not have enjoyed the last part a bit more that expected, but those legs man, those legs. What? He still is an eighteen year old after all, hormones are still a thing. Anyway after that week, the training became tougher than our poor white princess expected. In the second week, they started actual sparring with their weapons.
And let's just say each session ended with Weiss stuck in one of the walls of the sparring room, breathing heavily, while Mave was no worse for wear, maybe a scratch on his armor if Weiss got any lucky hits. To say that he was pushing her to the limits was incorrect. He was pushing her in hopes of surpassing her limits, whether it was in physical combat or with her semblance. And to do that, he actually used a part of his aura, his left eye emanating that orange mist that the grimm had around their eyes. He was strong, and Weiss felt it full force, and this forced her to use everything she had in her arsenal to try and damage him. She used her glyph's to gracefully slip away from Mave's attacks, hitting him in the weakest points in his armor, the gaps and the joints. She even had one of the better weapons against armor, a rapier, but it always ended with herbeing grabbed and hit by his axe in the gut or the head.
She did get close to breaking his Aura in the last spar, even though he only used around five percent of it; using her glyph's to distract him while she struck, and again, she got grabbed by the arm, shoved around a bit, and hit square in the chest with the flat of his axe, knocking all the air out from her lungs, and leaving her a tired mess.
She did get more piggyback rides in these three weeks alone than she did her entire childhood. Of course at first she was embarrassed as hell, maybe even calling him a dunce at times, but with how her legs wobbled after each match, she had no other choice but to accept. She also did fall asleep a few times and Mave had to place her on her bed.
And of course Yang teased them every time she got the chance, earning squeaks of anger from Weiss and glares and a few words from Mave.
Also, the medicine for Mave worked wonders. Yes, his voice still sounded rough on the ears, but he could speak normally without having to take breaks or coughing every few words he said, forming complete sentences without too many problems. He did bicker at first on how disgusting the syrup that he had to take every morning and night was, but it did calm and heal his throat in the end, while he used the spray he got before speaking to calm it a bit more and allow him to talk without coughing, unless he talked for long periods or screamed, which did hurt a bit.
He also gave Weiss another bear hug when he realized the medicine actually worked, almost suffocating her.
And now, It was Friday, and with it came the last spar of the third week. Both of them ready to fight. Weiss took position in the left side of the room, while Mave took position in the right side. Also, the rest of team RRWBY watched this spar, waving flags and encouraging Weiss. Especially Ruby.
(A/N:''Harmasar-Ciuleandra")
''I know you can do it Weiss! Kick his butt!''
''Show him the meaning of cold Ice Queen!''
"Hey!''
''He's just muscle Weiss, you can beat him with strategy.'' said Blake.
''Wow , thanks for the encouragement... And I'm still here Blake.'' She just mouthed an 'oops' before returning to a small book while the rest smiled sheepishly
''Like you need any encouragement Mave.'' Weiss deadpanned.
''I do.'' I say with amusement
''Ready?'' asked Ruby
''Ready!'' Weiss repeated with confidence, forming a glyph behind her, and Mave nodded, hunched down, letting the orange mist of his aura to envelop his left eye just like before. The rules are simple, who breaks the others aura wins.
Ruby raised her hand in the air, and with determination, shouted for the match to start.
''BEGIN!''
After those words both combatants sprung at each other, not holding back Mave went for an overhead attack that would plant Weiss into the ground, but she expertly parried the axe blade and stepped to the side, Myrtenaster ready to stab is inner elbow. He rotated his arm so that she would hit the armor and not the joint, but before he could retaliate she slashed at his neck and tried to poke at his visor. Mave extended his left arm to grab her, but as quickly as she attacked him, she stepped back enough so I couldn't reach her, and resumed attacking again. Mave could not help but sport a proud smile underneath his helmet.
'Good, she learned. She is giving me no space to make an attack, backing me in a corner, and retreats when I get my chance. Clever girl.' Mave thought, paying attention to not get skewered in the head.
''Ha Ha! Good Weiss Good!'' Mave said with a proud voice
She jumped back a bit, moved a stray hair behind her ear and gave a smug smile
''I learned from the best.''
''*laugh*''
''Hey you two! Stop flirting and start fighting!'' Yang shouted. We took a quick break to stare at her before resuming our spar. We got back in our stances and jumped in the action again. Weiss parried my attack and slashed at me again, I doged and went to hit her head with the axe. She ducked underneath the weapon dashed behind me and, surprisingly' kicked the back of my knee as hard as she could. She did succeed in stagering me enough time for her to land a few hits at my back, the last one pushing me a feet or two. Mave looked at her, and he saw she was happy and not that tired at all.
'She was close to breaking the aura I was using, and I've yet to hit her properly once. I was glad she was able to get better in such a short time, but I'm still going to try and win. No way i'm giving her this fight for free.'
Mave grabbed his weapon by the pommel and swung at her in a wide arc, and of course, she dogged. He spun around and swung in an arc again, and she dogged, again. The third time however, he faked that he was left open for a counterattack, and she took the bait. She was dashing straight at him, just like Mave wanted. When she was right in front of him, he brought Jormungandr above my head, and smashed the axe down in the ground, hoping to hit dead center
There was silence.
There was some dust as the axe collided with the ground but what surprised him was that the axe was lodged in the ground and Weiss was STANDING on it, as if she was a tightrope walker, pointing her rapier at his head. The girls were amazed at the scene and cheered for Weiss. The combatants were both just standing there like statues in shock at what she did. She replaced the shock with a proud grin and asked:
''Forfeit?''
Mave just chuckled and looked at her, and idea formed in his head.
''You know, you should take.. advantage of one's surprise''
''What? WhaHUH!?''
Before she could finish speaking, Mave raised his weapon, using the axe in the ground as leverage making Weiss stubble and fall on the ground. Soon after, Mave grabbed her by the leg and slammed her face first in the ground, leaving a small crater in the process. He pulled her up on her feet while she was still dazed, abrely able to stand straight, befor he hit her in the gut with the pommel of his axe and upercutted her with axeblade, flinging her in the air a few feet, dropping her weapon and landing with a thud.
That small assault alone brought her from full aura to 60 percent
She managed to scramble back on her feet and jumped backwards as far she could, but didn't realize that her weapon was missing until she saw Mave throw it to the side before he started charging at her.
In this moment, Weiss knew she has lost, but she was not willing to just lose again.
'What should I do? What should I do?! Think Weiss Think! Wait! I can try summoning, It's my only chance!'
Weiss's only option was to take that gamble and hope it would work. She summoned a glyph beside her and started concentrating. She only had to hit him once with a good hit and his aura will be broken.
So she concentrated, while Mave was closing in on every second, axe raised and ready to strike.
'Come on! Come on!'
Weiss closed her eyes and readied herself for the hit that was about to come, but to her surprise, it never came, and a smack was heard instead. She opened her eyes, only to see Mave with his aura broken, his weapon n the ground a few steps to the right, and a small glyph on the left, with a white and blue Ursa paw sticking out, which hit Mave in the side of his head.
She stared at the glyph for almost a full minute before what she did hit her.
She summoned a part of a grimm. She was finally able to summon something. She finally did it.
''I did it. HA HA I DID IT!'' Weiss exclaimed. She was never happier in her life as she is now. Without even thinking she jumped at Mave and gave him a hug, her small arms enveloping his large frame, creating a cute image for the rest of the girls.
''Thank you thank you thank you! Thank you so much Mave. You don't even know how much I've tried to summon something, anything, only to fail. So thank you!''
Mave looked at her, an honest smile gracing her lips alongside small tears threatening to be spilled.
''*chuckle* You're welcome.'' He said, reciprocating the hug with a small smile, putting his arms around her shoulders. She was so small compared to him, she barely reached his chest.
'Awww. You guys are so cute! Now will you two kiss?''
"YANG!'' Weiss screamed, flustered and face red as a tomato, tried to push me away from our hug. In the end she pushed herself more.
''Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend. What should we do?
''We could go to the city, it has been a while since we went last time and I need to get some new components for my Crescent Rose.''
''I should also go to the bookstore to look for some new releases.''
''I'll just drive around the city on my bike, maybe go to a bar.''
''We'll see. Me and Mave still need to rearange everthing in the training room before we go.'' He nodded
''Ok, see you guys later then.'' said Ruby.
''Are you making us leave so you can have fun with him Weiss~~? Yang teased
"YANG! I SWEAR!''
''*LAUGH* Relax, I'm just kidding. Still, not a bad choice. *Wink* Later!''
Mave POV:
The girls left, leaving me and Weiss alone in the training room. the equipment was all over the place and there were some cracks in the walls and ground. The windows were still intact so that's a plus.
''Right. Let's get to cleaning.'' I nod.
After we began cleaning here, I looked at Weiss. In these three weeks she grew more than anyone could imagine. Her body was not muscular, but rather toned. The small curves she had were now emphasized more, she had greater stamina so she could fight for longer periods, her combat strategies also improved, and apparently, she was able to do something that she had failed to do before.
It would be a lie if I said that I didn't start having some feelings growing for her these past weeks. So far, she looked like a tough woman who puts her heart and soul in everything she does for the better, whether it was for her or somebody else. She may be a bit pricky at times, but that doesn't change who she truly is.
So yes, in these week my admiration for her grew, and some ideas popped into my head, some nice, others very nice. And for the last week, I did think about asking her out, who knows, maybe I can start something.
Also other boys, including Jaune, did try to court her, only to fail miserably. I was both relieved and scared at the same time
Relieved because she denied them
Scared because she might deny me.
I finally mustered up the courage I needed and asked her.
''Hey Weiss?''
''What?''
'Time to swallow your fears man. If it goes wrong, at least you tried.'
''I was wondering, If you would like to go to the city with me tomorrow?''
''Really?'' Her cheeks flushed a bit ''Ahem! I mean, why do you want to go?''
''I was wondering if you would show me around the city,*cough* and spend some time together other than training.''
I don't know how I said that without stuttering like a fool, but she got redder, so I assume it worked.
''Sure! I mean...I don't mind. I could show you around the city,*mumble* and I would..also... like...spending some time together.
"What?''
''Nothing!"
Little did she know that I heard that last part, but I wasn't going to tell her that. I'm just very happy that she also wanted to go with me.
''So, around the morning?'' I say
''Yeah, we could go in the morning. We'll take the first bullhead that leaves then?
''Yes, that would be great."
...
...
"So, what should we do until then?''
''Let's just finish work here and get back to our room. Dust knows what things go through Yang's head right now.''
''*laugh* Who knows?*cough* Ok let's finish here and go back. Can't wait for tomorrow.''
She looked at me with a small blush but also a small smile ''Right.''
After a few minutes the training room was in order and we took our leave to the dorms.
Life here just keeps getting better and better.
I'm sure
