A/N: Hello everybody! Sorry for the long wait, was thinking what to do with this story and whether to continue or not, but I will just continue so I won't be…finding my own purpose (aka finding my own sun). Jokes aside, here is BloodBorne: Remnant's Hunters Chapter 3. Yes, I do not name my chapter for it will make me having no idea to make it longer. So here's chapter 3, enjoy yourself!
Beacon Academy
This was not what Jhin expected. Sure, Professor Port's stories….were interesting, to him at least. But, what he didn't expect is the students around him, groaning and whining. Some are even sleeping which is Ruby and Jaune.
Looking at his teammates, Henryk is as stoic as always. Hard to read even without his mask, hell , he didn't even took his mask off when sleeping. That guy is secretive. Gascoigne is faring pretty well. He is focusing and hooked to Professor Port's story, which is the same boat as him. And Eileen, she's just being Eileen. Which is focusing, taking notes and everything. When he looked over Team RWBY's place, he noticed Weiss doing the exact same thing as Eileen.
Then he noticed Ruby is doing something. And it is proved when she showed it to her team, they were snickering. Weiss was not amused however, her face is red in anger. He was broke out of his observations when Professor Port's voice was immediately louden.
"A Hunter should be honorable, wise and well-educated. Now, which of you here that thinks you're fit in those categories?", Professor Port asked them, a smile on his face. Weiss, however with the speed of lightning or Ruby's Semblace, raised her hand.
"I do, sir!", she yelled out while standing with her right hand raised. Jhin can see her eyebrows twitched every few seconds. Talking about twitching, does Blake's team know that she is a Faunus? Hmm, probably yes or probably not. He bet on the later tho'.
After preparation and equipping her combat attire, she entered the arena. Professor Port released the Grimm inside the cage, revealing a Boarbatusk. The Grimm saw it's target, Weiss. "Let the match begin!", Professor Port instructed with a downward of his left hand. Jhin doesn't care about the fight, but his observation lays elsewhere: the weakness of the Grimm. The Grimm, has almost entirely of it's body covered in silver/white armor.
'If the eyes can be poked with a blade, or maybe an accurate shot to the eyes, it will be effective. But other than the eyes in case it can't be poke or damaged, then I will bet it's under is vulnerable.', Jhin mentally calculated everything of the Grimm's weakness. He learned one thing when he's fighting the Grimm, their bodies are the same as the beasts he fought in Yharnam. Mainly the wolf thing. They have the same durability as these black creatures. When he looked back at the arena, he raised a brow.
"Stop telling me what to do!", Weiss yelled at Ruby. Jhin is at lost here, just what happened between those two when he's calculating? He looked over at his teammates.
Eileen sighed, Gascoigne's grinning and Henryk's smile is unseen. "Ruby was cheering for her partner Weiss, and Weiss was annoyed. The last which is 'Strike it's belly, it has no armor under it!' what made Weiss snapped.", Eileen summarized. He looked over at his other teammates, who nodded their head in confirmation.
"Ho? It seems like we're in the presence of a true Huntress-In-Training here.", Professor Port mused out. The bell was then ringed, signaling the end of the class. "Well, unfortunately, that is all the time we have. Now, have a good day youngsters!", he ended the class with a wave and a farewell, Jhin liked this guy.
All of the students began walking their way out of the classroom. When they were out, Jhin saw Ruby chasing Weiss and then the Heiress stomping her way to where she is going. Jhin approached Ruby. "What's wrong, Ruby?", Jhin asked, hoping nothing serious is wrong.
"Weiss don't want to be in a team led by me. And she told me Ozpin made a mistake making me the leader of the team.", She answered slowly, almost mumbling, with her head down.
"Hmm, I never been in a team. But one thing I do know is you, made a team leader by Ozpin is a mistake is remain to be unseen.", Jhin comforted Ruby, placing his right hand on her shoulder.
"Mr. Khada is correct, Ms. Rose.", a voice spoke through the hallway. Jhin and Ruby looked over where the voice was heard. There, it was revealed to be Ozpin, of course with his cane and mug. Jhin sometimes wondered if the cane was a transformation weapon. "I made many mistakes in my life, Ms. Rose. But I don't consider you being a leader is one of them.", Ozpin spoke with a comforting tone.
"R-really?", Ruby asked, almost hopefully. Ozpin nodded his head. Jhin, knowing Ozpin will handle this, walked out. He was surprised however when he saw his team waiting for him, which made him smile. The smile was not unseen by them.
"You're bad at comforting, Jhin.", Gascoigne said while laughing.
"Well, you once have a daughter or should I say daughters. You would be a bad parents if you were bad at comforting.", Jhin retorted back, making Gascoigne laughed even harder.
"Almost a bit touché.", Gascoigne replied, finally over his laughter.
"Boys, we must get back to the dorm room. We might be able to send our weapons to the Hunter via The Messenger, and Jhin may be able to upgrade it there for us.", Eileen broke their conversation. She looked over at Jhin for confirmation whether he can upgrade or the correct word, enhance their weapon in The Hunter's Dream. Jhin nodded his head.
"Yes, I do can. Though, I wish it is not my Blood Echoes, to begin with.", Jhin said, while head's down when saying the last part. Which earned a snicker for Henryk.
"Don't worry, we will pay it back through Lien.", Henryk told Jhin, assuring him. "You may be able to buy some equipment here. Or maybe just clothes.", he continued.
Jhin nodded his head and then, they all then went into their dorm room and respective bed. 'Gehrman, I really wish you're here. Though, it would be a pain fighting you in your prime.', he mentally snorted at that, finally sleep overtook him.
Beacon Academy
The next day
If one alarm clock rings at maximum sound is painful, then all 4 alarm clocks all at once would be a torture. That is what Team Hunter currently experiencing. Jhin immediately shot up and kicked his alarm clock, the kicked clock went to Gascoigne who immediately stood up after sensing it, dodging it effortlessly. Henryk's body went up like a corpse and smashed down his alarm clock. Eileen's situation is the same as Henryk however, she only turned off the sound. So far, casualties is 2 alarm clocks, one alarm clock dead because of kicked into Gascoigne, who dodged it and it went to the walls. The second one is because of Henryk's smashing his alarm clock.
"I'm the first to stood so I'm first!", Jhin shouted and sprinted to the bathroom. Gascoigne gritted his teeth and his lost.
"Damn.", is all he can said. Henryk was shaking his head at their antics. Though, he was disappointed that he didn't get the bathroom first today, since yesterday he's the first one, followed by Eileen, Jhin and Gascoigne. "Oh, since I'm second, I will be the next one to use the bathroom.", Gascoigne smirked at his own point. Which made the other two gritting their teeth.
"Whatever, just don't take too long. You're the reason we're late yesterday.", that was Henryk speaking with gritted teeth. Gascoigne only smirked at him which infuriates Henryk more.
"Yes, you are the reason we're late yesterday. Take too long preparing this time, and I swear I'm going to kill you.", Eileen glared at Gascoigne with venom. Gascoigne's smirk faded and he back down.
Then they heard a door click, revealing Jhin in towel after taking a bath. "Man, that was refreshing.", he mused out. Then he saw the situation, "What did I missed?", he asked them with a deadpan stare.
Beacon Academy
Couple of minutes later
He shivered, for the unknown time this day. Jhin does not know what it is, but he knew it got to be bad. Maybe he should visit The Hunter's Dream later. Now they're in the Combat Class. Interestingly, their way of combat when fighting each other is until the opponent surrender or his or her aura is on the red level, around 25-20%. Currently fighting is Jaune Arc and Cardin Winchester.
"This is the part where you lost.", Cardin arrogantly said. Out of all people, it is an arrogant person. Jhin's palm on his face, which is copied by all Team Hunter.
"Over my dea-Oof!", Jaune was cut-off because of Cardin striking his mace down onto Jaune.
"That's enough! The match's over!", Glynda Goodwitch, the Professor for Combat Class, spoke out. "Mr. Arc, please use your scroll to watch your Aura level. If this was the Vytal Tournament, then you would be disqualified.", Glynda informed him, which made him shocked. "This is how the Officials decided the winner of the fight. Once you reach the red level, you are immediately disqualified. Unless, you have a way to rejuvenate your aura back to 100%. The Vytal Tournament is only in a few months!", she yelled out.
Ah yes, scroll. All Team Hunter used it for equipment searching, music – which made all Team Hunter, 'specially Jhin, comfortable - , and of course, video which falls into many categories such as Horror – to which all of them liked - , Comedy and many others.
"May I have Khada Jhin and Blake Belladonna on the arena?", Glynda's voice shocked Team Hunter, especially Jhin. Both Jhin and Blake went down but Blake went somewhere, probably getting her combat attire and weapon. Jhin raised his hand to which Glynda noticed.
"Yes, Mr. Khada?", she asked sternly, mind you.
"Um, actually…", Jhin is actually nervous about how they would handle this information. "Actually, all of us Team Hunter doesn't have their Aura locked yet.", and the reactions were expected by him, no not expected but calculated. He mentally smirked.
"What?!", everyone yelled except Team Hunter and Blake, who's currently somewhere on the locker.
Glynda sighed, "Well, I will unlock your Aura then. Aura is a manifestation of one soul. En-"
"Enhancing one's defend and regeneration which then leads into unlocking the person's Semblance.", Jhin cut her off. Glynda glared at him, to which he raised an eyebrow.
"I will be unlocking your Aura. Stay still. Do you have your own chant?", she asked Jhin, to which he nodded. "Well, say it then and let me unlock your Aura, don't even fight back.", She put her hands in front of Jhin as she began to unlock his Aura. By this time, Blake returned and watched with interest.
Taking a deep breath, he began. "We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open.", he paused. The others were feeling some chill on their spine, even Team Hunter since they never heard of it before. "Fear The Old Blood.", the way Jhin said the last part made everyone gulped. Then deep, crimson red blood color surrounded Jhin's body. Jhin was awe-struck by the sight of his Aura, his Aura, the color of fresh blood.
Glynda however, was sweating. You see, unlocking one's Aura will temporarily combine the soul of those who unlocking the others, and also seeing some of his/her memories. Glynda saw some of it, Jhin died and revived, only to died once again. A white Beowolf kind of monster with no mask, A huge monster, white fur and clothes covering it's eyes, a man with huge scythe, a woman almost resembling Eileen and much more. "E-excuse me, Mr. Khada. You may proceed the match, I am in need of the rest room.", she sprinted to the rest room.
Jhin however just nodded dumbly. "Well, ain't you gonna change?", Blake asked Jhin with a tilt of her head.
"Yes I will.", he replied. Before Blake even spoke, a white light engulfed him. After a few seconds, it revealed Jhin in his bone ash armor, or the armor he had worn the first time they met him. With the familiar Blunderbuss on his left and the silver blade on his right also the huge sheath on his back. Blake knew how his weapon functions. It has two forms, so it is best to keep her guard up.
"Let's begin, Belladonna.", Jhin called out, instantly disappeared, making everyone shocked at the sudden speed. Blake's instincts called out to her to block her right, which she immediately did with her Gambol Shroud, successfully blocking Jhin's silver blade, though it knocked her back a few meters from him. She transformed her weapon into it's ranged mode, shooting him from far away. She deemed this is safer than close range.
Jhin is dodging the bullets with ease. He even managed to cut a few bullets in half. Everything can't be seen of him, his body, his arm, his face and even his eyes. Only his figure. Jhin lunged at Blake, whom immediately transformed her weapon back into it's melee form. Blake once again blocking his strike. Jhin resuming his assault attack either sides of Blake, who is having a hard time dodging and parrying the attacks. Then his next attack made her speechless. A vertical slash from the left to the right on her neck, to which she felt pain. 'It h-hurts!', Blake mentally thought. If it wasn't for her Aura, she would be dead, headless right now. She leaped back, a few meters away from Jhin.
Jhin, knowing she wouldn't be as close as before transform his blade into it's Great-sword form. More range, more power but a bit slower. He dashed at Blake, sending out a downward slash, to which she blocked, making a crater on the floor because of the attack. He immediately pulled out the silver blade, the huge sheath laid on his back, begun slashing really fast at Blake, who's having a hard time dodging and blocking it. Every 3 seconds, her Aura level decreased because of the hits she failed to dodge. Blake paused, panting hard.
Jhin took his opportunity, Blake saw his legs are wider now than a usual swordsmanship's stance. Jhin put the silver blade back in the huge sheath, then slammed it down to Blake, who grunted and now on the floor. Jhin pointed his great-sword to Blake's face, "Yield, Belladonnna?", he smiled, though of course no one can see it.
"I yield.", Blake replied while grunting because of the pain. Aura decrease pain but the pain from the vertical slash to her neck is still there and the great-sword hurts like getting hit by a truck. She looked at Jhin, who has his hand to her, to which she took it. Then she checked her Aura level to which she went wide-eye at it. It is on 29%. She looked at Jhin, who shrugged at her. "H-how?", she asked.
"Who knows? But one thing for sure though, you have a good reflex. Since you're a Faunus.", he quietly whispered the last part. To which she appreciated it. She doesn't know how to confront her team about that matter. "Don't worry, I won't hate you for that.", Jhin's voice broke her out from her thoughts.
After the spar, duel, battle, whatever you wanna call it, the class then come to an end. Oh, by the way, Glynda's there too when Blake said she yielded.
Beacon Academy
Just after the class
Team RWBY, Team JNPR and finally Team Hunter sat in group. Eating their meals, except two person.
"There, in the middle of the night…", Nora spoke, her voice clearly gives the vibe of story telling.
"It was day…", Ren corrected her with a sigh.
"Surrounded by Ursas….", she continued her story.
"Beowolves.", once again, Ren corrected her. Team Hunter snickering quietly at them.
"Dozens of them!", Nora yelled out the last part, to which they laughed at.
"There was only two of them.", Ren once again corrected her, with a heavy sigh.
"But they were no match for us. So me and Ren sell bunch a lot of skin.", Nora's story finally come to an end, a smile on her face.
"She's been having this dream for a month.", Ren groaned, clearly tired of her antics. Can't blame him, a hyperactive girl is really hard to control.
That's the first person that is not eating. The second person is a certain blond male and a leader. Yes, that is Jaune Arc.
"Arc, are you alright?", Jhin asked Jaune with concern. He will protect them all this time, even if it's just an illness. Jhin's question bring everyone's attention to Jaune.
"W-what? I'm fine, see?", Jaune replied while stuttering to which everyone noticed and the smile proved that he's not fine.
"Clearly, you're not lad.", Gascoigne said, a serious expression on his face for once. Henryk is the same as always but a good eye reader like Jhin can tell he's also worried, Eileen's worry is visible through her face.
"Jaune, Cardin been bullying for a while now.", Pyrrha spoke, concern totally in her voice.
"Cardin? Nah, he's just joking. Practical jokes.", Jaune replied while laughing nervously.
"He's a jerk.", Ruby's voice called out, to which everyone nodded.
"He's not just a jerk to me, he's a jerk to everyone.", Jaune replied once again, no stuttering this time. An 'Ouch!' could be heard, to which everyone noticed that it was Cardin and his team bullying a Faunus. Brown hair and two bunny ears on top of her head. Cardin was pulling her ear hard.
"Told you it was real!", he told his team while laughing his ass off. The others following his lead, laughing at the girl.
"It must be hard being a Faunus.", Yang spoke with a sigh. She really wanted to smash that guy's face into a bloody pulp while reviving him then resumed the process. Blake nodded at her statement. Jhin however, keep observing Cardin. His mismatched eyes narrowing.
'If Stake Driver won't kill in an instant, I would use it to blow up his face right now.', Jhin mentally though. An unpleasant memory came to his mind, everyone bullying him for being a freak. Mismatched eyes, abandoned. "I hope he have a really, really, really strong Aura.", his voice brings everyone attention to him.
"What are you plan-?", Eileen's question was cutoff as Jhin stood up, The Messenger on his feet carrying the Stake Driver. Team Hunter, seeing the weapon went wide-eye at him. "Are you crazy?! That thing can blow up a whole mountain!", she yelled at Jhin.
"I have thousands of silver and gold I encountered during my hunt. I will just pay them with that to pay the repair.", Jhin replied, putting the Stake Driver around his right arm. A clank sound could be heard. He approached Cardin and his team. They noticed him.
"Hmm, if it isn't the abomination, mismatched eyes freak?", Cardin mocked him. Jhin does not even care of his mock.
"Stop it.", he simply said.
"What? You think you're some big shot to order me around? Well, you're a fool!", Cardin replied with a laugh, followed by his team.
"Oh dear Faunus, stand behind me. And Cardin.", Jhin's voice was different which brought Cardin's attention to him. "I hope you and your gang have a strong Aura to defend this attack. I warn you, it is very powerful.", he finished.
"Hah? You, strong? What a hoax!", Cardin spoke again. The Faunus behind Jhin, began shaking, worried for him. Then a sound like a lever was pulled stopped them. They saw Jhin charging something. As if, he was preparing a huge and powerful punch. His Stake Driver have steam pulsing from it.
"Well, not my fault if you will be as black as a Beowolf.", Jhin then punched his front, then they heard. Then the whole school heard. The students saw it, wide-eye at him. A loud boom emanated from his Stake Driver. An explosion occurred, the area in front of him was in fire, a black smoke surrounding it. When the smoke were gone, the building have a huge hole, even the roof on top. From the Cafeteria entrance until 10 meters long of the roof on top now has a wall. On the ground is Cardin and his team, still alive but charred as black as a Beowolf. Jhin's Stake Driver has steam emanating from it.
"Told you.", is all he said at Cardin and his team. Then he turned to the Faunus girl. "I'm Jhin, Khada Jhin. Jhin's the first name and Khada's the last name. What is your name?", he introduced himself while asking her name. The girl in front of her was clearly nervous. And somehow, she is thinking just how beautiful his mismatched eyes are.
"V-V-Velvet Scarlatina. N-nice to meet you.", she told her his name while bowing, hiding her red face.
"Nice to meet you too, then I will see you around. If anyone is troubling you, I will put them in a similar situation like this.", Jhin told her. "See you around, Scarlatina.". She waved at him nervously.
As he reached at the tables he was in earlier, Eileen punched Jhin on the face, hard. "What in the bloody fucking world are you doing?!", she yelled out at him. Also, her first time of swearing. "What if they were dead from that attack? I don't mind you using other weapon but the Stake Driver? Are you insane?!", she continued scolding him, angered. The others are worried at this scene. But then, they saw his face, which made Eileen stopped. A serious expression, and a murderous glint in his eyes staring at her.
"Shut the fuck up.", those 4 words made everyone felt a chill on their spine. His voice was empty. "They're alive, that's all that matters. Scarlatina, she's just a human with an animal traits, a Faunus. Yet she is treated like trash. Do you want me to let that happened in front of me?", he questioned Eileen with a glare. "Too fucking bad. I won't.", he continued. "I don't care what the fuck happened to me, kill me, stab me, insult me, mock me. I won't even mind it, I would just mentally laugh at their weak insults.", he paused for a while. "But, an innocent, a normal person, or my friends or anyone who I deemed special, I would fucking murder them and let them get devoured by the huge whale from Fishing Hamlet.", he finished. He picked his food and gobble it in one swallow. He did something to his scroll to which a sound then heard.
"What ever do you think you have done, Mr. Khada?", Ozpin's voice through the scroll asked.
"I blew up a fair amount of the school while injuring Cardin and his fucking lackeys. Because they're picking on an innocent, normal person and also my friend.", Jhin replied. "If you got a problem, then feel free to do whatever you want with me.", he continued.
"Ah I see, well. I hope you have enough amount of Lien for the damage you caused.", Ozpin said with almost a threatening tone at the Lien part.
"Thousands of silver and gold will do that just right. You're not satisfied? Then expel me or kill me if you like, though I will warn you. I'm not going down without a fight.", Jhin replied back. He lost his cool.
"Very well then. I will want you to put what you assumed 95%of the amount of silver and gold you have.", Ozpin's voice calmly replied. "But, if yo-", he was cut off because Jhin smashed the device on his hand. His aura now visible, flickering like flames. As if, to show how pissed he is.
"Bring the fuck on, Headmaster. Messenger.", a light formed near his legs, revealing The Messenger. Jhin put 95% of his golds and silvers on The Messenger. "Send it to Ozpin. He may not see you, but you still can give it to him, the golds and silvers I mean.", Jhin calmly said. The others are watching at him with worry. Mainly Ruby.
"Y-you're going to be expelled?", Ruby asked, her voice shaking, tears in her eyes.
"No. I'm not, calm down, Rose.", Jhin replied. "I will be waiting for you all in next class.", he calmly walked his way to the next classroom, History Class. Teach by The Hyper Man aka Professor Oobleck, Bartholomew Oobleck.
Haven Academy
"Yo, you guys are coming to Beacon with us later?", a boy asked. This boy have blonde hair, a monkey tail, a sign that he is a Faunus. This boy or teenager is Sun Wukong.
"Yes, of course. I would like to see their Hunte-Huntsman or Huntress.", another voice replied. Though, no one caught his slip off. This man has short white hair but is actually teenager. As tall as Gascoigne, if not more. A top hat on his head, a worn tattered garb, white trousers with black boots. A long stick on his back, a heavily curved sword at his right hip, and a blunderbuss on his left hip.
"Great, then we will see you there!", Sun Wukong happily replied with a wave at them. The voice waved back.
"We will. Have a good day!", he shouted back to make sure he heard it. Once he's out of hearing zone, he asked his team. "Do you think the others are there?", the male asked.
"The others will be there, I can feel it. If we are given a second chance, then surely they're also given.", a feminine voice replied.
"Positive.", another male voice replied though this one is slightly younger.
"I feel the same way as them. We should go to Beacon Academy to visit them.", another male voice replied. This voice have tall physique, only 2 inch shorter than Gehrman.
"Then let us see them once more. Shall we, Maria, Simon, Ludwig?", the first voice from earlier asked them, happiness in his voice. Almost hopeful.
"Yes, of course. If possible, I would like it to meet him once again.", the feminine voice from earlier.
"It's been a long time since I've talked to him. The last time I talked to him is when we're in the Fishing Hamlet.", the younger voice replied.
"He's the one that told me of my Churh Hunters, and you all confirmed it for me. I shall meet him again.", the last voice said.
"And our answer is yes. We shall go with you, Gehrman.", all three voice spoke at once.
Gehrman, the first voice (A/N: No puns on Gehrman, The First voice., was grinning. "Then..", he walked slowly, the others behind him. "Tonight, The Old Hunters, join the hunt.".
Chapter End
A/N: And that wrapped it all, hope you all really enjoy this chapter. And yes, I already warned you on the summary that there will be OOC. Before you asked.
