Chapter VIII
Here are the words Simon wrote in his diary:
''So….I guess I have to start this thing someday anyway. This is Simon Seablue's personal diary, so don't blame me for the lock on it.
After 4 years, I've finally knew the truth about my parents. 4 years ago, I was only just a kid that was living with his father in the Emerald Forest (We were using my Dust abilities to recover the house with a shied spell), but then some assassins from the White Fang attacked my home, killing my father in the process and burning the house. And now I knew something maybe I shouldn't had known.
My mother was the person who killed my father and burned down the house. Problem is, that she didn't do it all by herself. Apparently, she is manipulated by the White Fang with some sort of drug that can literally transform people into freaking slaves. So….yeah.
But….why? Why do this to my mother? Because she's a Huntress? So much questions are cracking my head open at the moment and I don't think I can just keep them like that for long. I need to do something about this and I will ask someday if my team would help me, but their response are uncertain.
I guess I'll just continue my work at the Academy and they will surely begin to send teams on operations someday.
Anyway, I've redesigned my weapon to make it a little faster. I completely ditched the idea of Marine, even though I liked it and replaced it with Lucem and Tenebras. It's actually a scimitar that can transform into 2 pistols. Don't worry, I liked the idea but it took me almost an entire night to make it work: it reduces its size and splits itself into 2, making the 2 pistols in the process. On the scimitar is written those symbols I found in a book:
レスト·イン·ピーシズ
And these symbols are also shining in light blue on the weapon and splits in 2 when on the pistols. The crystal ball I was using on Marine was split into 8 gems that were putted on the scimitar, so I can still use it pretty well.
Other than that, my career at school from Signal to Beacon is good. Like all the rumors says, the final exam of Signal was tremendously easy for me, since I used spells to put down my opponents without using my weapon. Problem is, that I have to concentrate very hard on a single target to use this spell and that's why the airship travel was good for me, since I was Aura recovering.
After the initiation exam (which could have led us to death if we weren't prepared), I was put into a team with 3 other students: Emma Gemstone, a girl that uses a CSDPB (Crossed Sword Dust-Powered Bow), which was pretty nice to me since we've met; Anna Windcliff, a girl that uses a BASRDBS (Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle Double-Bladed Staff), which is the sister of my best friend and Tyler Ironclad, my best friend, which uses a RLG (Rocket Launcher Greatsword).
They are trusting me and I am trusting them, but I don't want them killed in extreme situations, so I practiced my Dust healing spell to the point that even extreme cases are not a problem, but it would maybe not be needed because of their Aura capabilities. Every person in this world, including normal humans, can uses Aura in case of danger, so they do have some, even if they don't know.
So, it was pretty much it for today's entry. If there are operations on a White Fang assault, I will personally address professor Ozpin to lead the assault. They need to pay for what they did and are surely doing worse at the moment, since I've heard about a Destruction-type Dust user in their ranks.
