Chapter 5: A Snake and Wolf
When Nero and Chelsea got to the cafeteria they got food and sat down. Chelsea started thinking about when Nero got up, he had a faint green glow on his shoulders and a faint blue glow on his back.
"Hey Nero when you got up you had faint glows on your shoulders and back why is that?" She asked with confusion. Nero looked at her.
"That would be from the tattoos I got a couple years ago they glow from being dust infused." He said. Chelsea just looked at him wide eyed. " Calm down only one has bad side effects and that is only if I put too much aura into it."
"Too much aura into what now?" Atorious said sitting next to Chelsea scaring both of them both. "Jeez why so jumpy?"
"Sorry just didn't hear you walk up." Chelsea said "We were talking about the tattoos Nero has appearently they're dust infused."
"Dust infused tattoos that sounds dangerous." Terra said sitting down next to Nero.
"Eeeh it's not that bad the most dangerous one is on my back, but as I said it's only has side effects if I put too much aura into it." Nero explained.
"What elements do you have?" Atorious asked "I would like to know."
"The element on my back is electricity while my shoulders have wind dust." The snake faunas said. "They are actually pretty useful, but blows through aura depending on how much i use them in a battle."
The others were thinking as Nero checked his scroll. He saw it was 8:40 so he got up to dump his tray.
"See you guys at the classroom." He said waving and walking out the door. When he got to the classroom he went to the back corner and sat down. A minute later the rest of his team came in and sat down next to him.
About ten minutes later team RWBY came crashing through the door with another team just before the bell rang. The only one of them still standing was a boy with black hair with a magenta strip and magenta eyes. He was helping up a girl with orange hair and blue eyes. She looks like she just ate a truck load of sugar.
The next one was a girl with crimson red hair with a bronze circulet and bright green eyes standing up and wiping herself off before helping up what looks like her partner. Nero's eyes widened when he saw the blue eyes of the fimiliar blonde goofball.
"Jaune!" he whispered to himself. "Man haven't seen him since the Achieve Men concert last year."
The professor walked in and stood at the front of the room. After looking over his students a couple of times he introduced himself.
"Hello I am Professor Port and welcome to grim studies where you will learn all about the beasts of the world." He said "Now would anyone like to tell me the name of at least five grim."
Nero raised his hand and the professor nodded to him.
"There are Ursa, Beowolves, Boartusk, Deathstalker and Nevermore." Nero said.
"Good job lad." Port said. "Now today we will learn about beowolves, when I was a young lad I would…." Nero fell asleep.
"Nero wake up it's time for Oobleck's history class." Terra said shaking him awake. "I told Atorious and Chelsea to go while I get you."
"Huh oh thanks Terra." He said yawning and stretching. "Lets go." He looked towards her and noticed something that surprised him. "Hey can we talk on the way there cause I have a question for you?"
As Nero and Terra were walking out the door Nero saw her deep in thought probably wondering what he was going to ask.
"So when did you plan on telling us you were a faunas and a wolf faunas at that." Nero said seeing her stop eyes widened. "If you are wondering how I know I saw your tail when you turned away after you woke me up."
"I was going to tell you since you're our leader, but not the others because I don't know how they would react." She said with her head down and pulling the back of her skirt down a little more to hide her tail. "I'm sorry for keeping this a secret."
"Hey don't worry about it I won't judge you for not feeling comfortable about not telling them." He said with a smile, while placing a hand on her shoulder making her look up at him. "I'll keep it secret until your ready to tell them okay now smile I don't like to see my friends sad."
"Thank you Nero I needed that thank you for keeping it secret." She said with a smile and hugged him. Causing Nero's face to turn crimson with a blush. "Your a great person Nero."
"Your welcome now I think we should hurry up to class." He said and Terra nodded as they walked off.
When they walked in Nero and Terra sat next to Jaune who was sitting in the front row by himself. Nero sat down ready and tapped Jaune on the shoulder.
"Huh, oh hey did you need something?" He said turning around until he saw who it was. "Oh Nero I wasn't expecting to see you here."
"Same here Jaune." Nero said. "Honestly thought I wouldn't see you here at Beacon."
Before they could talk more the teacher appeared out of nowhere and started talking as fast as Nero's motorcycle could drive. And about half an hour later after Nero gave up trying to listen the bell rung and it was time for combat class. Nero was so excited he finally had a class that would interest him.
When the class started Goodwitch explained what we will be doing and the rules for the spars. She also mentioned aura bars and and how when someone is below 15 percent they lose.
"Now students will be selected randomly for the spars, now lets see who fights first. She announced as 2 portraits appeared on the screen showing Nero and the orange haired girl from earlier. The first match is between Nero Krell from Team NACT versus Nora Valkyrie, please get your gear and come to the arena."
After getting his sword and knife he decided to put his hoodie and throwing knives in his locker leaving him in his shirt. When he got to the arena he saw Goodwitch and Nora waiting for him. He stood next to the professor and his opponent Goodwitch went over the rules one last time. He turned to shake Nora's hand.
"Good luck and here is to a good spar." He said.
"Same goes for you." Nora said with a happy smile that turn mischievous smirk. "Now let battle."
They both went to one side of the ring and waited for Goodwitch to start the match. A buzzer sounded off and Nora shot towards him hammer ready to smash him into the ground. A green glow shone on Nero's left shoulder as he dashed right quicker than anybody could believe. To most it looked like a semblance, but his team knew it was one of his tattoos. Before Nora could strike again Nero had his sword out smacking the flat of the blade against her knuckles causing her to let go of her hammer. Nero then scaled over his left hand and deck Nora in the stomach sending her 5 feet away landing on her back. She went to get up, but was stopped by a scaled boot on her chest and a sword to her throat. Another buzzer sounded off ending the match.
"Winner Nero Krell." Goodwitch announced. "Well done Mister Krell now can you tell me what your opponent did wrong?"
"She didn't take into account her opponent may have different types of advantages over her, like my scales or my faunas heritage." Nero answered taking his foot off Nora's chest and handing her hammer that he picked up back to her. "Of course not many people fight faunas with reflexes as fast as the eye can see, but a straight hammer swing would be a great strategy if she would have done a feint attack tricking her opponents to block a fake attack."
"Very good and great pointers for you miss Valkyrie." The Professor told the girl. "Thank you may return to your seats."
On their way back to their seats Nora was asking Nero how he moved so fast to dodge her hammer. He told her about the tattoos
The rest of the class passed by after a couple of fights the bell rang signifying the end of classes and the beginning of a work day for Nero at the One-Armed Bandit. Argo had told him he had to bartend tonight and it was going to be busy. So he went back to his room to get his uniform.
"Hey guys I have to go to work." Nero informed his team. "I'll be back later." He saw Atorious and Chelsea nod, while Terra spoke up.
"Hey Nero can I come with you I kinda want to talk to you and see a little bit of Vale?" Terra asked. "If you don't mind?"
"No, it's fine I just got to get changed." He said.
About 5 minutes later he came from the bathroom dressed in a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a gray vest, some black dress pants and gray dress shoes. He nodded to Terra and they left for the airship to Vale.
When they got off the airship they walked to Nero's bike Sidewinder. He gave Terra his helmet and scaled over his head. They arrive at the Bar 'n Grill within minutes. Getting off the bike they walked inside. Nero walked up to the 8 foot tall man with one arm and they started talking. Nero waved over to them.
"Terra this is my trainer and boss Argo Chernyy and Argo this is one of my teammates Terra Nova." Nero introduced them.
"Welcome Terra have a seat anywhere and Nero will serve you drinks, while I cook you any food you want. Argo said as Nero went behind the bar to start taking orders.
She walked over to the bar and sat down waiting for Nero to finish his current order. When he was finished he walked right over to her. He showed her the drink menu and waited for her order.
"I'll take a lemon iced tea." Terra ordered. "With some ice and a straw?"
"Coming right up." Nero said smiling as he went to one of mini fridges behind the bar. He grabbed a small piture of tea and pour it in a glass, before putting 4 ice cubes in with a straw right after. "Here you go one lemon iced tea with ice and a straw."
"Thanks Nero." She said reaching for her wallet. "How much do I owe you?"
"Don't worry first one is on me." He said "Besides you wanted to talk about something." He looked at her leaning against the bar ready to listen.
"It's about what you said earlier about how we would wait until I was comfortable to tell the others I am a faunas." Terra said looking up to see him nod with a face of understanding. "I wanted to tell them when we were back in the dorm room, but got a nervous feeling about telling them when you said you were leaving." She said looking back to her drink.
"So you want me there with you incase they get angry with you or me about keeping it a secret from them?" He asked seeing her nod was all he needed to know looking at the clock he saw it was 5:15. "Alright my shift ends around 8, but I stay and clean till 8:30 so you can hang around here until then okay." He smiled at her to show he had her back making her smile too.
They spent the rest of the time talking when Nero wasn't taking orders. They found out that they like some of the same music and bands. They were laughing when Argo came up to them and start telling jokes about his time at Beacon when he landed on Roman Torchwick or what he said when he first used his rifle Misguided Sight that hung over the bar.
When it 8: 10 after everyone left leaving only Terra, Nero and Argo in the building. Terra offered to help clean so she was sweeping the floor, while Argo wiped down the bar and Nero cleaned the dishes. They finished in 15 minutes and Nero and Terra were getting ready to leave when Argo stopped them.
"Hey Nero I got something for you." he said placing a box on a table in front of them. "I got you these to congratulate you on getting into Beacon and becoming a team leader none the less.
Opening the box he saw 2 silver .44 magnum revolvers with black grips. He picked them both up and aimed them at the wall getting a feel for them and their weight. Looking back at the box he found two holsters for them. He attached the holsters on each hip and put the guns in them before turning to Argo and shaking his hand.
"Thank you Argo." Nero said with some gratitude. "They are perfect what are they called?"
"They are called Viper's Fangs." The 8 foot tall man answered. "Here this is the ammo I got for you it's like the rounds I use in my rifle so remember don't use them in spars." Nero nodded before looking at the clock and realizing they have 12 minutes to catch the last airship to Beacon.
"Blyad." Nero yelled yelling in russian from hanging around Argo too much. "We gotta go seeya Argo."
"Goodnight to you both and come back again sometime Terra." he said waving goodbye to them.
"I will goodbye." She responded running out the door with Nero.
They parked Sidewinder in the motorpool and ran to catch the airship. They boarded just as the doors shut. They looked around seeing they were alone on the airship. Looking at each other they started chuckling which turned into full blown laughter.
"Well that was close we don't need to get in trouble this early into the year." Nero said between laughs. Terra just nods still in a fit of laughter. When they finally calmed down and caught their breathe Nero turned to Terra "So what do you want to do until we get there?"
"I don't know maybe we can just watch the view until we get there." she said waking over and sitting next to the window watch the ground go bye in the moonlight. Nero went over and sat next to her. "It looks so pretty."
"Yeah it does I feel like I could watch this all night." He said. He then felt her lean over putting her head on his shoulder. He smiled and wrapped an arm around her hugging her to his side.
They sat like that for a minute or two before Terra lifted her head and turned to Nero who turned to meet her eyes. They didn't know when it happened, but they both leaned in to meet in a kiss. When they broke apart they looked into each other's eyes to see any kind of doubt in them. When they found none they kissed one more time before the airship had docked.
"Well I guess thats 2 thing to inform them about." Nero said making both of them chuckle. "You ready tell them?"
"Huu, yeah i'm ready lets go." She said smiling before taking Nero's hand leading him to the dorm room.
When they got there Chelsea was reading her Vladimir Todd book while Atorious was going over some notes. They turned towards the door to see a smiling Terra and Nero holding hands. Atorious was the first to speak up.
"Sp I take it you guys are a thing now." he said chuckling when they both nodded their heads. "Well congratulations you too."
"Yeah congrats guys." Chelsea said putting down her book.
"You ready to tell them?" Nero said turning to Terra who nodded. "Terra has something to tell you guys."
"I'm a wolf faunas and I was hiding it from you guys because I didn't know how you would react." She said looking down "I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you guys."
Chelsea and Atorious both stood up and walked over to her to Tarra's surprise Chelsea hugged her and Atorious put a hand on her shoulder.
"I don't mind that your a faunas you are my friend and always will be." Chelsea said hugging Terra who smiled and hugged back.
"Same goes for me, I may be a Schnee but I don't have a problem with faunas and sort of have an understanding as to why the White Fang turned to what they are now because most humans mistreated them and denied them equality." Atorious said. "So I have no problem with you."
"Thank you both I really wanted to hear that." Terra said with a smile and misty eyes.
"Alright now that we got that out of the way, how about we get to bed it's all most 10." Nero said grabbing his pajama pants and went to change. He came out as Terra was about to go in he gave her a goodnight kiss before lying down and going to sleep. Preparing himself for the rest of the year.
