I FINALLY DID IT, I FINISHED THIS CRAP, ABOVE I STARTED ON MONDAY WITH THE IDEA AND I FINISHED IT LAST NIGHT JSJSJSJ
I want to thank everyone who gave me supportive comments, and more specifically to azrael09876, I was about to go to sleep last night and I got the notification of a review supporting me, that gave me enough dopamine to write 7 hours straight lol (I really appreciate it)
[] = the higher being speaking
I also have a pa,tr,on, I know it's early to request that kind of thing, but I realized that I have extra content that has no use, so basically I'll put the chapters with extra content (the Spanish version without edit, ideas and anything else I add), plus episode previews and some illustrations, I will also put some extra works that I had saved that I never published
Sorry for all that publicity, but you can find me as (p a tre on .com (slash) Asofcookies), but I wanted to use that useless extra content xd
Don't forget to read the fun facts for some extra information.
May 14: I was thinking of ideas and I realized that I lose a lot of potential for only having seen me until volume 3, so the fic activity will be a low until I finish the 6 volumes that I have left
It was a good day in Vale, and Jaune was enjoying his "Freedom", since he could do what he wanted when he wanted and nobody would say anything to him, he spent the night in a cheap motel and after breakfast he went for a walk
…
Hours have passed and I can't think of anything, I still have time until 24 hours are up and I must be afraid of being hunted, but anyway I can't think of any place I can go to get information for the collection
[it doesn't have to be an artifact or item, it has to be some kind of knowledge that is rare and can be stored in eternity, but it has to be a bit special even if it is, it shouldn't be something mundane either]
Oh, that's good to know, then I can-
WAIT, CAN YOU READ MY MIND? SINCE WHEN CAN YOU DO THAT?
[did you really ask a being who gave you the ability to store and analyze objects, as well as being able to teleport, if he can read the measly mind of the human he is accompanying?]
…
[don't worry about it, I don't have the same "standards" or "values" as mere humans, you can think anything and I won't care so much]
Ok… much?
[…you know that I can incinerate you with a single thought right?]
As I was telling myself, it's good to know that I only need a unique type of knowledge, so I think I know the right place for that.
I'm lucky that I keep my laptop in inventory, this is the best place to find rare things!
[4schnee...?, why does it have the name of the schnee?, and what is that supposed to be?, and why do I feel that it is a parody of something worse?]
Oh, 4schnee is an internet forum which has no filters and you can talk and send anything, it's a pretty dark place, it was designed by some guys who liked anarchy a bit, it didn't have this name,
but at a certain point they shut it down for, well, illegal content, so it is said that they made a deal with white fang to re-create the forum, they refused but the original creators offered them a deal in which they would give him a part of the income of the page, besides that they would allow everything the schnee family did to be published, also because it was ironic that a place with such a bad reputation had their name
[and they didn't try to shut it down at all?, and why does it say that you are a "carbon" member of the community?]
They couldn't, for every time they closed it, it came back out, and coupled with the fact that it's a site that white fang had helped create, they never delete posts against faunus or the things that white fang caused, so people only saw the place as a kind of site which had a twisted version of "the right of speech", so the people of the remnant also had no intention of removing the page, so it ended up staying
Oh, and I have been a member for years, in addition to the fact that I may have shared some confidential information that we had in the arch-hive, also for talking about different theories and among other things, they ended up giving me the status of CARBON member,
which allows me to search for things more easily, in addition to the fact that a part of my savings comes from donations from this place, don't worry, I mostly have the censorship filter on just in case
[and what are you supposed to do in this place?]
Well, it's full of hundreds of weird theories, many may be false, but there are theories which may be true, so I'm just going to filter the search on vale, and I'll try to find something worthwhile, this may take a while, but I don't think it will be that long
A few hours after going through hundreds of weird theories made by people who seem to have signs of mental disorders...
[eh… jaune, are you alright?, you look quite pale]
Yes, I'm fine, it's just that...
I forgot to activate the censorship filter, please ignore that, but I think I found something that may be worth it, it's a post that came out a few minutes ago, and it talks about how it's been a few years,
some ships were disappearing in a certain maritime route, so he believes that there may be something there, and it's not only that, he also talks about how no kingdom, not even menagerie can go through this route, Although it is not a route that is taken a lot because it is completely inefficient, but that does not explain why the kingdoms have this area as prohibited, he talks about how he investigated and discovered that there is an island there, but that it is not registered on any map
JACKPOT, it says here that if someone is brave, he will take everyone who wants to go to that island tonight, that he would go, but he hurt his leg and can't go explore it, so he will just take them and wait for come back "for those who want to go, go to the pier at 2 AM, I'll pick you up there and we'll go to the island"
…
[Jaune, this is a scam, you know that right?]
I know, but then the guy sent several links to referring pages that make it seem more true, there are several news about disappearances in that area, in addition to some images that show the refusal of the council to go through that area, so which might be a lie, but it seems to have some truth, it is also possible that another person reads this and tries to go, and if there is an island, and it is not registered, it must be for something, maybe it is also dangerous, so the best thing to do is It is to discover why it is, in addition to the fact that anything I can simply go back to vale with the TP
[sigh of a higher being, whatever you say, but remember that you need to have all your aura to be able to do the TP]
Wait, that didn't happen the first time, when I came to Vale I didn't feel like I lost all my aura in an instant.
[That's because when you got to Vale, the first thing you did was run everywhere amazed to see for the first time what "night in the city" is like, and then you went to a motel to sleep, besides it's not like you lose your aura, it just takes it away, so you didn't even feel it, long story short, you were too excited to notice your aura and ended up getting all your aura back when you were sleeping]
AND WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS?
[most likely if I told you that you were going to lose all your aura in a moment and you didn't even know how this worked, it would make it hard to concentrate, so you couldn't have been calm to do the TP, you'd better think that you would simply end up in the middle of ok with all your aura so that you have more security, now, stop prolonging the situation and go to sleep for a while, I will activate the alarm mode to wake you up 1 hour before the ship comes, you will need all the energy you can have]
Jaune went back to his motel room and slept, after a few hours, the day was over but the night had just begun.
[WAKES UP FOOL, THE SHIP LEAVES IN 5 MINUTES]
WHAT, YOU SAID YOU WOULD WAKE ME UP 1 HOUR BEFORE, I need to go now, I can't miss this opportunity
…
If you told me at the hotel that it was 5 minutes before two, why does my scroll tell me that it is now 1:30?
[because I didn't trust you to get up so fast, also the best thing was that you hurry up to get there earlier]
WHY SHOULD I BE 30 MINUTES AHEAD? I would understand 10, but 30? The guy said he would arrive at 2 AM, not at-
[looks at the pier.]
Why should I look at him, it's not like I'm-
(Actually, the ship was there, and it looked like it was about to set sail)
Fuck you.
(Jaune ran to the ship just before it set sail, the captain of the ship saw him and stopped before leaving the ship, the captain looked like a guy in his 40s, in a suit that looked like he got it from a website that only has stereotypical clothing)
"I'm here because of 4schnee's post, I want to go to the island"
"Boy, I don't know what you're talking about, besides, this is just a fishing boat"
"500 liens" Jaune yelled, which almost caused the man to break into a smile, but he was able to hide it.
"So what are you waiting for to come up boy?"
I suppose that the lien does cause things in people, but better for me at this moment, the best thing would be to pay him and get on board, if I ask too much he can kick me out or try to do something worse to me
The inside of the boat was literally the same as a fishing boat, which doesn't really surprise me, the guy told me that as a courtesy for going with me, he would do me some kind of "favor"?, which I didn't quite understand, but then he told me to go directly to one of the rooms, that he would notify me when we arrived
(jaune walked through the ship until he came to a cabin with the words "guest room" scribbled on it)
"Ok, I guess this is the room he said, better go in and not try anything weird, the last thing I need is for him to suspect something", I was about to open the door, until all my senses were activated, I felt as if my own Alma warned me of something, to remember the instincts that were created based on living with 8 women, an instinct created based on error so that there is no other "trial and error"
[Dude, are you alright?]
Ahem, yes, I am, I'm sorry, post traumatic stress effect
Knock Knock
A female voice comes from inside the cabin "I'm busy, don't think of anything stupid or you'll regret it, I'm changing, wait a second for me to finish"
[I… really sorry jaune]
"Believe me, you'll be sorry if you try to-" From the booth, a beautiful blonde woman came out, whom I think I recognize from somewhere, although I don't know where...
…
"THE SON OF ARC?"
"GOODWITCH?"
"What is the son of Arc doing on this boat? Don't tell me that guy tricked you into getting on it"
"No, I came to this boat intentionally, wait, don't tell me you're also here because of the rumors?" I thought I was the only one who came to the boat, at least she's a hunter
"That's none of your business boy, this ship is on an illegal trajectory, so you can't be here, you must get off immediately or else-"
(a horn sounds throughout the ship, and they start to reel because the ship has set sail)
Wait a second, she knows that this ship is illegal, but still it was like she was waiting for the ship to set sail, it didn't seem like she was here to stop it, and why would she be changing in the cabin of a boat, don't tell me that-
"You're here to explore this island too, right? And you came disguised so that no one could recognize you, since the Vale Council has prohibited routes to the island, so surely you came alone or on behalf of the director to find out what happened without you the council knew about it right?
"Sigh, did you really think of all that in a matter of seconds?"
"Not exactly, it's just that lately I've been playing that lawyer game a lot, but I propose something to you, I don't say anything and you don't say anything, we get to the island, we check it, and if we find something, We'll see what we do with it, you're a professional hunter, and I can defend myself"
"ok, but don't you dare try anything dangerous"
The cabin was small, and there was only one bed, in which the two sat after talking, and neither said anything for a while.
"I didn't know the arc family was in vale, ozpin didn't tell me anything, and what are you doing here alone on this boat anyway? None of your sisters are even accompanying you?"
Ozpin?, oh, right, the director of the academy, "I don't think he mentioned me since nobody knows I'm here, you know what each of my sisters did at some point, right?"
"What? Wait, did you really run away from home? But you're too young compared to when your sisters ran away. I'm surprised you made it this far without getting caught."
"Yeah, I guess I ran away a bit earlier than my sisters, I'm barely 14, and let's just say I had a little help"
Hey "god" or higher being, whatever you want to call yourself, do you think I should tell him about you?
[even why would you do that?]
Because glynda is going to tell my parents that I'm okay when we get back from the island, my parents always contact ozpin after a few days have passed since one of my sisters escaped, he doesn't intervene but reports anything that happens, so it is possible that my parents find out, and I want them to know that I have some kind of help, that although it seems suspicious, I wanted to relieve them a little that there is someone who has an eye on me, also so that they do not suspect how i left ansel
[do what you want, but don't be stupid enough to tell them what I am]
"Let's say, I couldn't help but want to leave home, it's not that I don't love my family, maybe we're not that attached because, well, sometimes the obsessions we have make it seem like we're in another world without wanting to, but i really love them"
What little tension there was in the room dissipated when Glynda simply sighed and leaned against the wall next to the cabin bed.
"Heh, I understand, even a little, not so much about the obsession, I know they have something like that, but I never really understood it, but I do understand the part about wanting to explore the world, I was born in the countryside I always wanted to explore and discover the world with my own eyes, and it came true when I discovered my semblance, after that I became self-taught until ozpin found me and said I had potential, thanks to him I was able to exploit my talent to the fullest and I had the possibility to discover the confines of remnant with my own eyes as I always wanted" she said with a smile and with eyes that seem to be wandering for nostalgia
"But hey, I guess we all have our reasons for escaping from time to time. Even though our families are important to us, sometimes we need to explore and discover our own path," said glynda sincerely.
"Yes, and it's great to have people like Ozpin supporting us, I also have someone like that on my side, thanks to him I was able to leave Ansel, in addition to helping me a lot, he gave me many opportunities, but we have a deal and It's that that help has to be rewarded with unique knowledge, that's why I'm trying to find out what happens on this island"
…
"I... I didn't want to get too involved in your business, but, are you okay? Did you get to Vale safely? If you need something, you can ask for help with anything, Although we will have to tell your parents later, so they know you're okay, and could you tell me a little more about the obsessions your family has? If you don't mind, of course."
"It is not such a sensitive issue in my family, but it is not so complex. In our blood, people are always born who have certain obsessions with things, they can be physical or psychological, like being obsessed with certain attributes of the body and doing everything to improve them. , or those that are like mine, which is of the collector type"
Should I tell you? I didn't even confirm my family what my obsession was...
[she's a teacher at Beacon academy and she seems too professional to try to do something with that information, you should get it off your chest anyway]
"My obsession, as I told you, is collector's, in fact obsessions are never confirmed in my family, we can only assume them based on indications, that is so since many times in the past people have tried to manipulate us with this type of information, and that It was something that led to the death of many arcs, it is a type of custom of ours, one of the many, besides that I do not want my sisters to try to blackmail me with things"
"Hm, I always heard that the arcs got into trouble because of their obsessions, but it seems that your family is not like that at all."
"Yeah.. That's not exactly like that, don't get me wrong, it's nothing like it was decades ago, since our father raised us to control them mostly, but we're still a little lost in that, and it affected us quite a bit, like with school, my older sisters even went to school, but in the end they ended up putting all of us with school from home, since they always ran away from school because it was boring, and went to do other things, which they admitted that were related to his obsessions"
"Wouldn't that cause some problems due to lack of interaction with other people? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that anyone has, I'm just asking" she seems worried, maybe she thought the situation was lighter?
"It's not really that they put us all in home school directly, we all went for a while, but the same thing always happened, so in the end we all ended up learning with tutors and teaching from our parents, the good part is that according to them we are quite advanced, more than most boys my age, school would not affect much anyway, since me and my sisters were always loners, we were never very interested in having friends, although I think my sisters were able to get some friends, but I really don't know how"
"Oh, I didn't know the situation was so comple-"
(The sudden braking of the ship abruptly interrupted the conversation, Jaune, unbalanced by the movement, stumbled forward and fell from the bed, closing his eyes instinctively, but never feeling the fall)
"what...?", why is the floor centimeters from my face?, wait, right, semblances
Glinda...? hey wait, WHY IS THE FLOOR MOVING AWAY?
"Jaune, are you alright? Let me reinstate you" she says as she uses her semblance to stop Jaune standing up.
"thank you glynda"
(footsteps are heard until they stop abruptly at the cabin door and the captain aggressively opens the door)
"We have arrived at the destination, the island is outside, hurry up, I will wait for you until you return, in case you do not return in a while I will go out to look for you"
After jaune and Glynda got off the ship, they began to investigate the island, while the captain just stayed on the ship.
…
"You can call me Glynda if you want, although I must admit that it feels weird for a young man to call me by that name."
"Ok, if you can please just call me jaune, by the way, do you think what they say about the island is true? About the disappearances and all that, maybe they were just lies"
Wait, why did glynda keep quiet, don't tell me that-
"Maybe it's true, there is a certain common number of reports of missing ships, but the number of ships missing around this area was abnormal, plus the vale council always ignored it, and not only that, this place is also not registered on any map of the region, and taking into account that we are here, it may be for something, by the way, stay close to my back, I will be watching the front, you look at the rear"
"ok, but how did you end up finding the guy on the boat, I don't think you have a 4schnee account"
"Actually, beacon has a lot of people who own accounts there, it's a famous place, I don't know what a kid is doing there, but be careful what you post, since we don't just have regular users, we also have researchers, and we're not just us"
"heh, you really have-"
(glynda turns quickly when she notices that jaune has gone silent, but he just stared in one direction, which glynda is also looking at)
…
"a skeleton?, it must be a cadaver... jaune"
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've seen a body, I've seen this kind of thing many times, so it's not a big deal"
"no jaune, this is a corpse"
"Yeah, I know, because-"
...
"There's a dead body, on this island" Shit, there really is something on this island, and that something is dangerous dangerous enough to leave a dead body behind.
"the skeleton is too old to see any death marks" how old must the body be to be like this?
"maybe some grimm?"
"No, it's not that, there are no grimms on this island, due to the amount of vegetation there is, this island has been uninhabited for a long time, since there is too much vegetation, but if there is a corpse here, it means that at least some grimm would have to be born because of the remains of the body, but if there were grimms, they would have already come looking for us because we are the only source of negativity in the area, unless"
SHIT
"we are not alone on the island"
"Jaune, don't separate from me, we must return to the ship NOW, then I will notify ozpin to carry out an inspection of the island, but we have to return for now-"
Ä̴̝͓͖́͑͘H̵͍͇͒̿́͜H̸̡̘̞͆̿̐H̵̟͚͖͊͆̈́Ḧ̴̝͖͎́͋̀H̴͉͍͙̽͆͠H̵̫̻̔̚H̸͕͉͛̓H̸̸̐ ͍̻̟
(a scream echoes across the island, but the scream only comes from one direction)
…
"the boat"
This is bad, very bad, that scream came from the direction of the ship, jaune, you were already prepared for this, you must not lose your head now,
wait, what is that?
"Jaune, where are you going, do you think you're going? Didn't you hear that? We have to leave right now, something happened to the ship."
"a note" what the hell does a note make in this forest?
"what?"
"There is a note here, look, it seems to have something written on it"
I better grab the note
[You have collected "ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs"]
[ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs
Type: common/unique
Collection: mysterious notes (1/5)
Description: a sheet with strange scribbles which you are unable to understand, it seems that the scribbles are trying to represent a man, the man has no face but he seems to have a tuxedo, he has an interesting but corrupted essence
Uses: It can be used like any other blade in existence, but you might discover something interesting if you analyze it]
Oh?, this is the first time you have notified me of an item collected in this way, it seems to-
[you feel discomfort towards the objectWᴇɪʀᴅ Sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇ Sʜᴇᴇᴛ]
HOLY GOD, what kind of notification is that?, and if you know how I feel what is the need to rub it in my face anyway?
[JAUNE, GLYNDA IS IN DANGER, TURN AWAY NOW]
(jaune turns around quickly and sees glynda standing completely still and pale, he didn't have time to wonder what happened to him since next to his vision he saw some tentacles going in glynda's direction)
(he quickly pulls out his shield from inventory and positions himself in front of glynda, he manages to cover the attack, but it was too strong and he was pushed back, taking glynda with him)
Thud
I need to get up quickly..., Glynda was able to cushion my blow, something had to happen to her for her to stay completely still, I must be careful
Remember jaune, defense position and lock on your target, which looks like a man…
that it doesn't have a face?, no, it has a white face, but I feel like I can't focus on it, I feel like I'm trying to concentrate in a void, unable to see anything…, I try to see something, but I can only see a white surface, which is flat, but for seconds it seems as if a face is trying to form, but it seems distorted, as if the features are not correct...
Is that a mouth where his eyes go?, Because it seems as if his face is now open in two?, and now it is as if they had cut it in the shape of a cross, why, why, why, because
[each face is different, each one more monstrous than the other, in just a few seconds, you are seeing thousands of deformed forms of a single face in seconds, you want to vomit, but you can't, you know that tendrils are appearing from his back, you want to stop looking, but you can't, you know that those tendrils are coming your way and that you will die, you want to close your eyes, but you can't, this is your death, you want-]
"JAUNE"
(glynda yells as she uses her semblance to her full power, destroying a piece of ground that she and Jaune are standing on, taking the piece of land to the heavens and leaving it levitating)
…
What was that, what the hell was that?
"Jaune, are you okay? How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, it's, it's just that I tried to look at his face and-" even though he doesn't want to, his voice sounds cracked.
"And you saw something horrible, right? The same thing happened to me, I felt like I was in a trance, I was able to get out only because you intervened, thank you"
"You're welcome... Glynda, what do we do? We may be safe up here, but we can't be in the sky forever."
Glynda looks…worried, the only illumination we have is moonlight, but even with that we are unable to see the island well.
"I, sigh, I would say that we stay up here until the sun comes up, we don't have many options and with more lighting we could see if there is somewhere on this island where we can go, if I concentrate I can focus my semblance and I could try to leave us levitating the island for the remainder of the night"
…
"I think I have an idea that can help you last the whole night, but…"
[jaune, you know that what you are about to say can be a death sentence right?]
"Don't get me wrong, but you could, maybe reduce the space we're floating in to reduce aura expenditure..."
"jaune, I already reduced the space enough, for the space to be reduced to the maximum you would have to be on top of me..."
…
"IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION, I could also try flowing my aura to you so you can use your semblance a bit more, but it's just a suggestion don't have-"
"jaune, it's not that bad, you don't have to act like it's a big deal, it's uncomfortable but it's a workable solution for this situation, but I warn you, don't try anything, even though I know you won't"
And so the night passed calmly until dawn, although in a slightly compromising position with Jaune sitting on Glynda's legs, and Jaune holding Glynda's hand to try to share a portion of her aura with her, I'll leave that image for you to see. you imagine it
"Should we try to go down now? The sun is illuminating the island"
"No, maybe that thing is still down, you can try to find an open place we can go to, we're at a disadvantage in the forest" she said with her eyes closed, still concentrating on reducing the aura drain
…
"I saw something! It seems to be some kind of cabin? It's a bit far away but the area around the cabin is flat so we could try to go there, It also seems to be advanced with the vegetation so it doesn't look like anyone has been there for a while."
ok, hold on tight, I'll start moving the ground, I need you to guide me in the direction of the cabin"
(jaune started to give glynda instructions, once he led glynda in the direction of the cabin, once they arrived, glynda suddenly stood up and grabbed jaune and then jumped towards the roof of the cabin)
"OOOAAAAHHH" why did she jump so suddenly?, wait, will she be?-
"You're tired, aren't you? Even for a professional hunter, it's difficult to maintain an active semblance for so many hours." God, I even doubt that a veteran could maintain a semblance of that category for so many hours.
"Fine-, I'm fine" she said as she sighed from the exhaustion
[jaune, remember you can still analyze the scribble sheet]
Oh right, I had forgotten about that.
[you have selected the item ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs]
[you have selected the option Analysis]
"hey jaune, by any chance do you have-"
(glynda's jaw dropped in the same way as jaune when they saw the scribbled sheet levitating for a few seconds, in which some lines began to cover the entire sheet, until she simply fell back into jaune's hand)
[the analysis of the item ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs has been partially completed, you must get the collection mysterious notes (1/5) to get a complete analysis]
…
"Ehh, remember when I told you there was someone helping me? Let's say he has to do with this"
"He also has to do with the shield you pulled out of nowhere when that thing attacked us?"
Shit.
"The situation is too complicated to focus on those things, can you tell me what you did?"
"I analyzed the note to see if I could discover anything"
"did you discover something?"
"got a description of the sheet"
[ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs
Analysis: incomplete, finish the collection mystery notes (1/5) to get the full analysis
You can observe a man enjoying a happy family life in a quiet town. One day, returning from a short trip, he finds everything destroyed. Desperate, he runs to his home to meet his family and...]
"and?"
"I don't know, that's as far as the text goes, it's telling me that I have to complete a collection of 5 to get more information"
We'll have to get the other notes I guess, but where could they be, maybe in the cabin?
"I will investigate the cabin, you stay in this place watching that the creature does not come near and you must also recover your aura"
"It's dangerous, let me do it"
"NO, you have a small amount of aura because you were using your semblance all night, if you come across the creature, we don't know if you can resist a blow, but in my case, I have a large reserve of aura, so if I come across the creature, at least I can warn you, I'll leave you some food that I have and concentrate on recovering your aura"
Inside the cabin, with jaune currently eating a bag of chips
[I'm surprised you would have it in you to respond like that to a hunter]
It's not a big deal, it's something my mother always did, make one point clear, she knows what the situation is like but I suppose that because of her status as a hunter and her teacher, she doesn't want to let me do this, and-
Uffff, what the hell is that smell?
(Inside the cabin you can see how the vegetation grew just like in the whole outside, but thanks to the rays of the sun that pass through the cracks in the cabin, in the background you can see a putrid body, you could also see a notebook next to the body)
Egh, the desire to continue eating left me, but I suppose I know where that smell comes from, it seems that the body is in an advanced state of putrefaction, I prefer not to concentrate on that, and more on the notebook that is next to it, I should tell Glynda about this.
[you have obtained survival journal]
[you feel disturbed by the rotting body]
Seriously, what is the mess with these texts?
[I have nothing to do with it, it's just yourself, sometimes your emotions can trigger this kind of thing, don't pay too much attention to it]
If you say so…
Well, I think that was all that was interesting inside the cabin, I'd better go upstairs and tell Glynda
(Jaune stepped away from the hut a few meters, letting his aura flow through his feet, and launched into a run, his legs moving with astonishing agility. He leapt towards the wall of the hut, executing a nimble backflip , spinning in the air as his hands touched the wooden surface. Using the momentum generated, he propelled himself even higher, performing a series of midair pirouettes, like a true acrobat. With enviable grace, his fingers gripped the edge from the roof, allowing him to rise forcefully and climb dexterously, completing his acrobatic ascent to the highest point of the cabin.)
…
[couldn't you climb the hut like a normal person?]
My parents made me learn a lot of things to see if they could overcome my obsession with other interests, which didn't work out, but I like to use what I learned once in a while because if I don't feel like it was a waste of time, don't pay much attention to it.
"Glynda, the cabin was full of vegetation, the only interesting thing I could find was a notebook which was next to a rotting corpse, did you manage to see any strange movement?"
"There hasn't been any kind of activity since you entered the cabin, but don't tell me that the only thing you kept was fried food? Shouldn't you try to keep healthier and maybe also more useful things?"
"hey, at least I have something stor-"
Glynda clears her throat and looks seriously at Jaune.
"YES MOM, I mean, teacher, please ignore that, I haven't read the notebook yet, shouldn't we read it to see if it has any kind of important information?"
(jaune opens the notebook, but it only has 1 page, which has a text)
"This diary will contain all the knowledge collected about the creature which we nickname "Slenderman", this knowledge is not only attributed to me, it is attributed to everyone, from me and my companions, to every person who died on this island which were capable of leaving clues, if you read this, and somehow you managed to kill that thing or you were able to escape the island thanks to this notebook, please I ask you to honor the memory of all the people who died on this island
Movement patterns: at first we thought that the creature was roaming the entire island, but it only moves at night, in addition to but apparently only going to areas which are close to those scribbled notes, I don't know why, but it is attached to those notes, to the point of killing one of my teammates when he took one, after seeing this pattern of movement, we decided to make a plan to see if we could build a safe zone, basically my teammates and I took all the notes and relocated them in strategic points of the island to be able to maintain a certain safe zone,which worked, until the creature came in the night to hunt us down, apparently it holds a grudge towards those who play those notes, so if you did manage to grab one, i feel sorry for you
(I will leave the map of the island in this notebook, it is a simple map but you can differentiate the areas where the notes are located)
Abilities: the creature has great resistance, we tried to attack it with firearms among other things and nothing worked, so it is a better option to run from it, it also seems to be able to move by teleporting, or maybe it is absurdly fast to the point of appearing and disappear from my vision, and finally, as a method of attack, he does not use his arms, he uses some strange tentacles that come out of his back, which are absurdly strong and capable of piercing a person without an aura, I think those are their only abilities, at least the ones I discovered
That is all I know about this creature, if you are someone capable, please take care of killing it
And if the creature is able to read and is reading this, I hope you burn in hell, I'd rather die on my own terms than yours."
(Jaune turns the page over and on the back is a map that tries to hide the island, on the map there are circles and a text that says "areas where the notes are located")
...
"I'm screwed up"
"I... I don't know what we can do, if this is true, the creature will come for you as soon as night falls, and according to this, the creature looks for the people who had a note, not only those who have it, and I don't I know if I can be with my semblance active all night, I also have no signal to contact someone "
Shit SHIT, what can we do, I don't have a signal either or something in my inventory that works, wait, THE TP, I COULD
[no, you can't use TP, at least not right now]
WHY, I don't have my full aura yet, but I'm sure it will regenerate by night!
[it's a possibility, but even if your aura regenerates, glynda's won't, you can do a TP with several individuals, but they have to be with their full aura for it to work, there's also another reason]
WHICH?
[You are terrified, remember, you must be calm to be able to TP, and even if you could recover your aura, you would be unable to do so because you are too scared, and this causes you to be defensive, which makes it difficult for you to recover your aura]
…
"The notes, do you think that if we collect all the notes we can get a clue? That said there were 5, so if we collect more and "analyze" them, we might get something important that will be of use to us" says Glynda with a worried look. towards jaune fearing what might happen if night falls
"we must divide"
[Have you never seen horror movies?]
…
"jaune I'm not going to leave you alone" she was cut off by jaune who gave her a decisive look
"There are still 4 notes left, if we both go together for the 4 notes we won't be able to find all of them for the night, but if we split up, we can get all the notes in time, or at least we can get them before it gets totally dark."
"Okay, but I'll go for two notes and you'll go for one, I'm faster than you so I can pick them up faster, we'll meet on the fourth note, if it gets dark and we don't meet, take out your shield and stay where you are, if one of us is attacked, we will shout and warn the other"
"ok, I can try to copy the map of the island with some things that I have saved, wait a second"
"No need, I already memorized the entire map, we don't have time to waste, and don't forget not to use your aura so much, we'll really need it to stand a chance if that thing attacks us."
And with that said, Glynda jumped out of the cabin to start running in the direction of the forest, without wasting time, Jaune repeated the same thing, only in another direction.
Glynda was running through the forest, it had already been between 1 or 2 hours since she started the search
I need to run, she might be faster than jaune, but I still took the 2 furthest notes, but no matter what, I can't let anything happen to that kid
(glynda reached a part of the forest where she could see a note on a tree, but when she was about to grab the note, she could see a ship that was half-sinking near the coast)
I supposed it, I'll have to notify Jaune of this when I meet him, for now I must take note and continue
Jaune had been running throughout the forest in search of the note, the map did not say the exact position, it only said the location where the notes could be and that is causing him some problems
FINALLY, here it is, I need to grab it and go looking for the other one
[You have collected "ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs"]
Maybe I should look into it now or should I wait until I meet Glynda..?
[you feel like someone is watching you, waiting to hunt you down]
…
I better run, and fast
Glynda had finally gotten to the second note from her, which was hanging on a tree and seemed to be a bit smeared with blood.
SHIT, it's about to be night and I still have to arrive with jaune, please I hope nothing has happened to you!
With an anguished look, Glynda flowed a part of her aura into her legs to start running towards the last note, leaving a small crater where she used to be and running through the forest at high speed.
Jaune had finally found the last note, which was located in a tree that led to a flat terrain.
(Jaune slumped down exhausted after finishing running with his breathing ragged and ragged. He was trying to catch his breath and calm his racing heartbeat. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the feeling of fatigue wash over him.)
I FINALLY FOUND THE LAST NOTE
[You have collected "ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs"]
YEAH.
[was it necessary to overexert yourself like that?]
YES.
It got dark already and I thought that Glynda had arrived, besides I felt as if something was watching me all the time, but it's strange that it hasn't attacked me yet, between waiting for Glynda I'd better analyze the notes, maybe I can discover something important
[don't be careless, the creature can attack at any time]
[you have selected the analysis option]

At that precise moment, a brown-haired woman stops the man. She seems to be having a conversation with him and tells him something that makes him hesitate for a moment, but he finally accepts.You then see them head towards the docks and get on a boat together. However, as soon as the man gets on the boat, the woman puts him to sleep and when he wakes up, he finds himself tied to a chair]
That's… strange, did they make a deal or something? Did she just kidnap him?

The man discovers his family murdered by a fierce Grimm. Filled with rage and a thirst for revenge, he sets out to find the person responsible, but is seriously injured and falls unconscious. Luckily, a group of hunters comes to his rescue and they manage to save him. He regains consciousness in Vale hospital]
That…
That explains a lot, or at least a little more, so the guy lost his family, some hunters rescued him and he woke up in Vale?, but what did the woman stop the man from, maybe the other two notes have what's needed to complete the story?
[you feel uncomfortable and like you're not alone]
[JAUNE, BEWARE]
Currently with glynda, going as fast as he can to the location of the last note
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH"
NO, JAUNE
THE SCREAM WASN'T THAT FAR, I'M CLOSE, I MUST INCREASE MY SPEED
(Jaune had managed to turn around in time, and dodge one of the tentacles by jumping to the side, but he was not so fast as to dodge the next ones, grabbing his left arm and lifting him a few meters off the ground, to then grab his right arm along with his legs, to then try to stretch it until it ripped off its limbs, but when he saw that he couldn't, he simply took out two other tentacles and began to whip him on the chest)
I must resist, glynda surely heard my scream, yes, surely she is coming...
…
"JAUNE"
(before jaune's aura gives in to the attacks, an ENTIRE tree takes the creature away, once jaune fell to the ground exhausted and still shocked, glynda used her semblance to drag jaune behind her, jaune raised his head suddenly and yell at glynda)
"BE CAREFUL, YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED IT YET"
(after that scream, glynda throws her whip to the side and raises both her hands, causing an explosion of aura to engulf her and then redirects towards her hands, glynda with her semblance of maximum skill, breaks the entire area around her and levitates everything it can, be it earth, plants, even the trees around it, everything is uprooted and thrown towards the creature, burying it)
"jaune, are you alright?"
cough cough "no, my aura is almost burst, but you were able to get the notes right?" I would like to vomit, I really want to vomit right now…
"Yes, I was able to find them, take them quickly and-"
(When Glynda was giving Jaune the notes, a tentacle went through all the rubble that was burying the creature, Glynda was able to dodge it, but Jaune only managed to grab the notes and pull out the hunter grade shield, he managed to place the shield in front of him, but the blow of the tentacle threw it back several meters until it collided with a tree and almost broke it from the blow)
[You have collected "ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs"]
[You have collected "ɴᴏᴛᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ sᴄʀɪʙʙʟᴇs"]
"AHHHHHGGG" my aura was burst, wait, THE SHIELD IS SPLIT IN HALF, he was actually able to-
One second, glynda, she's still fighting the creature, my aura is busted and I have nothing useful, my last option is the notes, please make the notes have something that can be useful, I don't know how long glynda can take the creature

"His wounds from him heal, and he finds the Council of Vale abandon him without offering any support, except for a small monetary compensation that quickly dries up due to medical expenses. The man finds himself homeless for months, until in a moment of desperation he attempts to take his own life in a dark alley"]
What?, I can understand it a little more, but I still need to analyze the other note...

"The man is back sitting in the chair, but the image abruptly changes, revealing that he is now injured. The sequence is repeated over and over again continuously, showing the man more and more badly injured. Finally, only an amorphous mass remains on the chair, losing all form and coherence"]
What?
(jaune confused, looks in the direction of the creature and glynda to see how they are doing, but glynda is receiving the same kind of punishment that she was receiving jaune)
GLYNDA NO, START EXTRA ACT
[you have selected the option see extra act]
[Bonus act obtained for completing the collection Mysterious Blades (5/5):
The amorphous entity turns black, breaking its bonds. Released, he falls to the ground and begins to convulse violently. He then reforms himself, taking on the appearance of a tall man in a suit. Although he attempts to reconstruct his face, he is unable to do so, leaving him with a flat white face. The scene changes to show the creature massacring all the people on the island, until he finds a girl with some deformities in a room, the creature initially ignores the girl, but she begins to follow him. This strange encounter is repeated several times, while the girl draws the creature, the scene changes to what seems like a flashback, and it is seen how the figure of the girl is replaced by that of another similar girl with a drawing, the scene returns to the present, and the creature simply ignores it. Until one day, the girl points to the creature and then to a nearby tree. The creature uses one of its tentacles to carve the word "LEAH" into the tree trunk. Suddenly, everything goes black and the same creature now appears before a grave. He remains motionless for a moment before disappearing and reappearing in front of one of the drawings. The creature just lightly touches the drawing]
…
He's still there... LEAH IS STILL THERE
[jaune, be careful what you're about to do]
(jaune takes out all the notes he had on the creature, then he takes out a piece of fire dust and throws it at the notes once, it only makes a couple of sparks, jaune repeats the process several times until he falls to the ground)
BREAK IT, pum, BREAK IT PLEASE
Pum, pum, pum, BOOOOM
(after hitting the fire dust with his hands several times, it exploded and he was thrown backwards burning his hands a bit, the explosion was heard by the creature and glynda, who looked in their direction, but the creature looked specifically towards the burning leaves, to which he released glynda and teleported towards them, trying to grab them but being unable to because of the fire that was burning them)
"LEAH, I KNOW YOU'RE STILL THERE, PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU"
(the creature was about to attack, but it began to stagger, then fell to its knees and put its hands on its head, jaune approached the creature and grabbed its shoulders and looked at its face)
[you try to imagine the ros-]
BE QUIET
"LEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH, I KNOW YOU LOST EVERYTHING, YOU WERE DISCARDED, YOU WERE DECEIVED AND USED, BUT I ALSO KNOW YOU ARE STILL THERE, I KNOW YOU CAN STILL REMEMBER EVERYONE, I KNOW YOU REMEMBER YOUR SISTER,
I KNOW YOU LOVED THAT GIRL, LEAH PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU"
(the creature staggered back again, separates its hands from its head and plunges them into its chest, the creature puts almost all of its hands into its chest and then opens its own chest, inside it there is what looks like to be a black slime which tries to replicate the organs of a human being, but in the background of everything, for a second, a totally bright light could be seen)
"M̵̙͇̀̕͜A̸̢̙̪̓́͋K̸͎͙̟͛̕E̸̝̞͋͒̀ I̴̫͍͐͊͜͝T̴̢͍̝͑͑̐ Q̴͉̼̠͑̔̚U̵̙̫̻̿͛̈́I̴̻͙̻̽̒̾C̵̻̫͎̓̈́͝K̵͉͉̞̾̿̕,̵̫̻̘͐̿̕ I̵̪͔̘͒̚͠ C̴͎̘͊̽̚A̸͎͇̝̒̓͘N̴̡̢͊̓̔͜'̴͕̻̻͐͘T̸̼͕̝͐͊ H̴͎͔̫͌͋͊O̵͚̻͓͌̓L̵̪͎͙̈́͛̚D̴͎̪͊̀ T̴̺͓͒͘̚͜H̸̫͓͙͑͠A̴̪̝̙͋̚͝T̵̘̠̿͌̽͜ M̵̢͉̟͑̕͝U̵͎͖̺̔̚͘C̴̞͚̙͑̓̚H̸̢̟͔̽̾͘" the creature screamed in a noise distorted until it was almost unrecognizable.
I HAVE TO, but… I can't move, I'm terrified, I'm too scared, I feel like I'm paralyzed, but…
[something as simple as fear is not going to prevent you from helping a person in need]
(Jaune stretches her hands back for a second, then moves them quickly and fits inside the creature's chest, the mucus inside the creature is so thick that it's almost impossible to move well, but Jaune pushes his hands deeper into the chest, until the mucus starts to climb up his arms, it goes slowly, but jaune gets even more, the mucus seems to be reaching his shoulder, but)
"I FOUND IT"
(jaune finds an anchor point inside the creature, and tries to pull it out, but his hands are too deep in it to pull it out, he feels like he's stuck, but the mucus keeps running up his arms)
Glynda?
(glynda gets behind jaune and sticks to his back, hugs him and they both begin to pull back, after a few minutes of struggling, jaune manages to get that shiny thing out that she could see, but falls on top of glynda, while they are recovering from the effort, you can see how the shape of the creature destabilizes and begins to dissolve, until only a puddle remains)
…
"It's done, jaune, you finished off the creature" Glynda said with a face that seemed to be a little relieved.
"jaune, are you alright?" she asks worried that something has happened to him
"Yes, I'm fine, it's just that the orb seems to be broken, and it's leaking a black liquid."

Uses: this is not something that should be given a use, but that is up to each one, it can be "purified"]
"It is a soul in a state of corruption accelerated to 99.99%, but I can purify it…"
(jaune looks at glynda with an indecisive face, but glynda just sighs and smiles)
"I know someone who would say that the most important thing in a living being is his soul, if he saw this soul, he would only lament and look for any way to save it, so the best thing is that you" purify "it now"
sigh "ok here we go"
[purify the item sᴏᴜʟ ɪɴ ᴀɴ ᴀᴄᴄᴇʟᴇʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ sᴛᴀᴛᴇ ᴏғ ᴄᴏʀʀᴜᴘᴛɪᴏɴ (99.99%) ? ]
YES
[purifying sᴏᴜʟ ɪɴ ᴀɴ ᴀᴄᴄᴇʟᴇʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ sᴛᴀᴛᴇ ᴏғ ᴄᴏʀʀᴜᴘᴛɪᴏɴ (99.99%)…]
(suddenly, the orb begins to levitate and shine more furiously to the point of illuminating the entire nearby area, and causing Jaune and Glynda to cover their faces)
[full purification]
[you have obtained ᴘᴜʀᴇ sᴏᴜʟl]
[you have obtained 99.99% ᴘᴜʀᴇ Cᴏʀʀᴜᴘᴛɪᴏɴ Fʀᴀɢᴍᴇɴᴛs]
(The soul falls into Jaune's hands, but it doesn't take long for the orb to slowly fade away, leaving no trace in this world, resting once and for all.)
[the item ᴘᴜʀᴇ sᴏᴜʟ has disappeared from your inventory]
[you feel a whisper in your ear which says "thank you"]
…
(currently jaune and glynda were sitting under a tree gazing at the stars while resting)
"So, that's what you saw in the tests?"
"Yep, the guy seemed to suffer a lot, besides he said that he was a soul who suffered countless inhuman tortures"
…
"That was stupid, stupid and dangerous, literally a thousand things could go wrong in that situation, you almost gave me a heart attack, and I didn't even make it to 30" he says while putting a hand on his forehead trying to calm his headache"
"I'm sorry, but it was the only thing I could think of, there was nothing else I could do, if I attacked him, he would just kill me, and you were also on the verge of losing your aura"
"I know, and I understand, but please don't ever do something that stupid again."
"okk..."
…
"jaune, do you want to vomit or cry?" she sincerely asks looking at jaune
"What? Why would I wh-" he answers nervously.
"This may be a rare experience for me, unique even, but I am a professional hunter and I have lived through things like that, but you, on the other hand, may have seen things that you should not have seen, but that does not mean that this is not a Extremely traumatic experience, not even a hunter-in-training could have acted the way you did, so it's okay if you want-"
(jaune gets up and moves a few steps away from glynda and begins to vomit, glynda looks at him with an empathetic face, and goes over to pat him on the back, this lasts a few minutes until jaune stops)
Sniff sniff
"I-, I'm sorry about that, but thank you"
"It's okay, it's normal, and more in this type of situation, come on, don't you want to walk around the island for a while?"
(glynda got up and offered her hand to jaune, who took it, after getting up, they started walking around the island)
"I forgot to tell you, but the guy on the boat, let's just say-"
"He died, I assumed the truth, but is it bad that I don't feel so bad for him? I know he was a victim and everything, but I'm sure the guy did this repeatedly,
and I doubt that another person has left the island"
"probably, I should tell ozpin to look into that.., but even if he's not that good on a boy your age, you understand what kind of person he was, he even allowed a kid like you to go to a straight death for 500 liens"
…
"Do you think the creature's soul deserved to rest in peace?"
"what are you talking about?" Glynda asked, curious about Jaune's answer.
"I mean, that person killed hundreds, it could have even been thousands, but we still gave him a break, but I don't think it was his fault either, it's like blaming someone who was controlled to do something, That person did that, but it was something else that caused it."
"That is something that each one must decide, in my opinion he deserved eternal rest, after all, you cannot attribute all the bad deeds to someone who did not commit them"
"And is it true that this happens in Vale? That people who survive these kinds of grimm encounters in the villages are thrown out on the streets with compensation?"
"No, well, at least not anymore, it was something that was done many years ago, now when a person arrives who suffered an event of this category, they are treated with various psychological tests to see their mental state, if something happened they put them in a rehabilitation, and then it can vary but usually they give him asylum and try to find him a job, but yes, after a few months they are on their own"
"That's... Comforting, or so I think, I can't imagine how those people who lost everything must feel, I don't even see it as a possibility, I simply believe that there is nothing that can harm my family"
"Speaking of your family, can I ask how you feel about running away and leaving your family, if you want to answer clearly."
"It doesn't bother me, and I actually feel, okay? I didn't think about it too much in my head, after all it wasn't more than 2 days since I left, but even though I never had an extremely close relationship with them, after all our parents had hunting jobs and all my sisters had their own things to do, I still love them very much, and if something were to happen, I would go straight back no matter what"
"Oh, it's nice that you think that way about your family, unfortunately I no longer have my parents, luckily they left due to natural causes, and I didn't have any brothers or sisters either, so I don't really have any family, well, not so much Actually, although it sounds strange, I consider many people from beacon as my family, among the other teachers and some parts of the staff, including ozpin, I have a good relationship with them "
…
(glynda and jaune reached the coast of the island, where they looked at the open ocean, with the moonlight giving enough illumination to be able to appreciate everything well)
"How do you think that girl died? I mean the one I saw in the story of that creature" Jaune asked a bit curious
"There could be many causes, they experimented with her since she was a child, so that could have something to do with it, besides that an island is not an environment for a girl to grow up in, it could have been hunger, the cold, there could have been many things…"
"Should we bury the bodies of the people we find?, to try to give them a rest more than anything"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure of that once I get back, I'll have to notify ozpin to see what actions we can take, because if they experimented with people here, surely the council of Vale had something to do considering that the island disappeared from the map , but for now we must find a way to return, we have no signal, and the ship is destroyed"
"If I told you that I could take us to Vale, how would you react?"
"take us in what way?"
"take us"
…
"We have to have our aura at 100%, if you don't ask, I'll give you food that I have saved"
"jaune, you should buy things that can be useful to you, the food is fine, but if you have the possibility of having a space that the weight does not affect, you could be prepared for any situation"
"I know..." It's still embarrassing that i didn't think of that...
The morning had arrived, on the coast of the island, Jaune and Glynda can be seen lying next to each other, and around them, several bags of chips among others and cans of drinks
"jaune"
"5 more minutes mom…"
"Jaune, you're hugging me, a lot" she said, a little embarrassed.
…
"I-, I'M SORRY, REALLY, IT WASN'T MY INTENTION, IT'S A CUSTOM, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO STAB ME AGAIN"
…
"Okay, but how often does this happen before you even have a reference?" she said with a small smile
"More than I would like, but, were you able to get your aura back?"
"Yes, I was able to recharge 100% at night"
Ok, how am I supposed to TP with her?
[Just take her hand and focus the same as last time, only this time keep your surroundings and Glynda in mind, besides that she also has to be calm, that will always be the rule for this kind of thing]
"ok, just give me your hands and try to be as calm as possible"
(jaune sits in a meditative pose, glynda copies him and jaune takes her hands)
Remember, remember the feeling of worth...
Its people, the memories, the beacon, its structure, the people laughing, crying, remember the essence of the place...
And you will be in that place.

*Slenderman broke a hunter grade shield with a single attack, in my defense, in rwby they break all kinds of stronger materials more easily, so I guess the amount of aura put on the item determines its weight and durability values , and since jaune did not have that much aura, the shield did not resist an attack (who am I kidding, slenderman is only OP, sorry, but this is the only interpretation I can give to slenderman in my head)
*Personally I see glynda with the whip only as a channel to focus her semblance, so when I let her go, since it wasn't necessary to be specific or take special care, I just used her semblance in a more raw state for the situation ( the other alternative is something that could not be used in a student institution)
*The little girl?, I have no idea what I was trying to do with that,I looked at it more as a girl who was captive all of her life being part of some experiments and simply slenderman simply found her captive
*I really don't know how Jaune and Glynda's scene took at the end when Jaune vents, usually after traumatic experiences I just apply the "it is what it is" and move on xd
*I wanted to put an extra scene, in which they purify slenderman's soul and could access his memories, but I realized that that was just filler, since it showed the same things as the analysis, only a little more specific, also that his tuxedo was supposed to be because the guy always wanted to become a businessman in one of the kingdoms, and was trying to study and save to go to vale
*The final scene of glynda and jaune?, I had been writing for 7 hours straight and I think I was starting to get delirious, sorry about that, but then it seemed very empty to make them wake up and just leave so I ended up leaving it lol, now that I do I think I could use that several times...
*The superior being speaking?, text boxes?, sighs?, literally says the word "sigh" in a text box, in addition to when he wakes him up in "wake-up" mode, see it as when it is 3 AM, you left the pc turned on at half volume, and they raid a discord server while you sleep, something like that feels
*The small escapades of the arc family?, as it happened 7 times before the de jaune, are a little known fact in remnant, since each one fled to different kingdoms and places, they also gave support among other things, so it is not uncommon for people who know the total identity of the arc family, to know about these escapades
*Am I the only one who thinks glynda is always called a teacher or a goodwitch? It feels pretty weird to call her Glynda, but since Jaune has no relation to Beacon, it wouldn't make sense to call her Professor.
*I am unable to know how old Glynda is in the canon, due to the type of design the age is not identified (there is also the excuse that having the aura active simply makes you look younger naturally), to me she looks young, but she's a teacher, so i guess i just put her as a prodigy xd
