one of my longest chapters enjoy

Ever since she's been welcomed into this beautiful building she's noticed all the beautiful tapestry and religious images really cemented the fact that this was a church.

"It's quite different from remanent but it is also the same in some way" She was given a comfortable pair of clothes she's been given is a basic white shirt and a white jacket.

"Is that the name of the city you hail from Ruby" The question had made Ruby think about recent events it wasn't till recently that Ruby had genuinely fallen out of her innocent shell at Beacon lying wasn't her talent but this ridiculous situation calls for a little lying.

"No, it's what the locals call the region like oh you're going towards remnant, and when some ask what's that I mean I usually have to correct myself" It was a lie Ruby knew it trifa knew it even the nice girl who welcomed her knew but she did not know the that knew what a conundrum.

"Are you perhaps an American" he randomly threw that out a location that he could easily explain her lack of knowledge of Japan. Believe it or not because she/he is a dumb American is a good excuse but could only last for so long and will do a lot of heavy lifting.

"Um sure" She tilts her head unsure of what the American title carries here in this foreign land but she's sure the nice man in front of her wouldn't put her in a bad position here.

"Ah then you must be very confused about good ol'japan if you got dragged along with your family or by yourself" he was trickling info subtly to what he was now sure was an otherworlder.

Hearing the noise of his beloved Therisa come through the door he couldn't wait nor subtly drop any more info he'd have Therisa do it.

Now that the 'nice' priest was comfortably out of earshot She would voice her true desire"I still want to go the police but I have no evidence maybe I should head back to the park" From what trifa told her the killer never bothered to hide his deeds and left the victims out in the open.

'but then again the police must have gotten to the scene first i would just have to check the news later since she took notice of the tv easily.

…

'With those things going to my school and their unknown goals, I can't sit back and let them do what they please but right now I'm powerless' Ren just last night took one of them out and he has no idea how they would respond to that fact, plus the paradoxical existence that is Marie added on extra stress.

His flip phone vibrated pulling him out of his thoughts and signaling a text and it could only be from two people Rea or Kasumi." it better be something important" he complains to no one to particular as he tiredly flips the phone open.

"You better be nice to the new girl in your class ren she's crashing at the church and she's an American" The confusion on his face really portrayed his emotions why is Rea telling him to be nice he's not a teaser like her?

"Whatever I'll try" he responded to the text, not like the new girl and him interacted in any way before this day.

He finally reached the classroom on time to see a certain black-haired girl with red tips introducing herself to his peers "Not this type of bullshit again" This is the second time an enemy or someone he's had supernatural interaction with showed up at his school as a student.

"Wait a minute is that" and it seems like she's noticed him so hopefully she wasn't going to straight up say he's the serial killer out loud to a whole class to here he already had enough drama going on with the who is ren fuji dating debate. Just because he has two female friends doesn't mean he was dating one of them.

"It is" She then walks up to the nearest desk and sits right beside him, surprising him with the smell of roses and her overall cute appearance but she had nothing on Marie though.

She at first looked around the class since beacon academy was structured like a college the desks and the way it was structured was totally foreign to her.

"So why did you kill all those people with your powers you could be helping people" she whispered to him now he knew this was coming but the calmness of the question almost sent him through a loop.

"YO-ur wrong" he almost yelled that he was not a murderer he refused to believe it he had inevitably had his childhood friend kill for his survival for those bastards entertainment and their weird war. His teeth clenched at the thought of those thoughts.

"Then why'd you kill him" The rage on his face made it apparent his feelings on the situation making Ruby truly consider if he was the killer.

"It was kill or be killed in that situation and I want to go back to the status quo and I'll do anything and everything to keep my boring daily life going" his goals were unlike any ruby seen before her world was always fighting for survival a better world no one really fought for maintaining a status quo.

"Is that why you fight where I come from we fight to change things it's quite strange why do you want everything to stay normal" The shock was apparent in her eyes he could only assume that in the land of the free it was constantly in strife and he wasn't even going to think about American politics and the social issues.

"I don't know how it is where you came from but here it's peaceful I wouldnt mind living in the moment forever on a singular moment for all of eternity" That was firmly Ren's stance on the matter but That declaration had only seemed to make her a little angry and confused her thoughts were apparent and her face betrayed her like Kasumi's would now that he thinks about there seem to be a lot of similarities to Kasumi.

"Doesn't that sound like complacency Why would you ever settle for anything when you could go higher" the girl almost barked out ren sighed seeing that their philosophies on life majorly differed so he decided to end this farce.

The female teacher is staring at the obvious sight that was Ruby and Ren having a pretty heated argument but it didn't really disturb the class so she didn't intervene "We live our lives differently that's all there is to it" and with that final send off ren got back to focusing as best as he could on what is he supposed to do with Sakurai and rusalka.

The obsidian round table

At the table sought the priest trifa with his long blond hair tied into a ponytail and his standard priest outfit, malleus with her pink hair she is in her customized ss uniform with the only difference lying in the accursed armband and its symbol, and finally, the pale vampire known as Wilhelm his pale complexion white hair and red eyes had him classified as albino for the longest time he was wearing the standard ss uniform with the different armband once again "Damn that spinne that bastard poor excuse for a betrayal caused us great pain" the pink haired who is on the short side complained about the nerve-racking pain that was Reinhard's punishment.

"What even gave that idiot the bright idea was he genuinely that scared of those things why didn't he do like the rest of us and simply followed regular orders he would've had no reason to fear whatever the hell he thought they were going to do him once they finally came back to this world" Willhelm easily complained about his old 'teammate' spinne could be barely considered to be a member of the table.

"Let's be honest with ourselves that man was only good for opening the first swastika" trifa had coldly delivered to the rest of the group.

"That's enough about that useless asshat anyway trifa what should we do about Zarathustra we shouldn't have to drag this whole thing out till the big man comes back with his Einherjars" Willhelm isn't what people like to call a patient type he never did stay still whether it was his messed up genetics or his fucked upbringing he could stay still for the longest time.

"Bey I told you that killing him would bring issues though I never once stopped you" Willhelm turned to face his pink-haired companion.

"Don't we have another participant in this war that just showed up anyway didn't you greet her" he completely ignored his pink-haired 'partner' this group was only held together by fear and shallow promises of the higher-ups with a little bit of comradery.

"Ah, miss rose im not very sure of her combat potential but im sure she's another ally of Zarathustra may be of similar origin maybe not there is a lot of unknowns surrounding her backstory or motivations so no it wouldn't be wise to kill Zarathustra until she shows her colors" it was honest to god truth but alas there was doubt surrounding his words. "Where is Leonheart shouldn't she be here " Rulsalka complained this meeting was slowly getting on her nerves and she wanted someone to vindictively bully.

"Getting some set up done around the school for that swastika open later" She did not trust the priest's words not one bit.

They all got up from the big round table and proceed to walk up the stairs and out of the church basement and officaly ended the meeting with a sieg heil viktora.
