(A/N) I have received some good responses to the first chapter of this story and I am glad about it. I really appreciate the follows, favorites, and reviews I have received so far for this story.
Chapter 2 The Introduction Part 2
(The School Hallway)
It has been 6 years since Jin has been adopted into the Kisaragi family that resides within Atlus. Ever since Jin has enrolled at the school within Atlus he has excelled at the school from academics to combat training. While it goes without saying that Jin is very accomplished it also left him with little time to socialize. As a result, he has trouble making friends and the friends he does have are few and far between. Currently Jin has found himself getting ready for enrollment for an Academy which to his surprise does not reside within Atlus.
"Well it seems that I still have a few more things to prepare for before I enroll at the Academy." Jin had thought to himself after his session in the training room. Though as he was thinking about what he should do next so he can be better prepared for his enrollment someone had bumped into him.
"Oh sorry I didn't see where I was going." A young female voice had said
When Jin looked at the source of the voice he had saw that it was a short young woman with long blonde hair. The young woman herself is Noel Vermillion one of the few people who know Jin Kisaragi on a regular basis. With the exception of a small number of people Jin had always tried to keep people at an arm's length. However, with Noel Jin has always felt enraged at the mere sight of her even though he could not explain it. Not to mention Noel's clumsiness is not helping things for that matter.
"Noel why am I not surprised that it was you who bumped into me. I thought that you would at least have enough sense to watch where you're going but it appears that you have proved me wrong." Jin had replied in a venomous tone
"Oh it's you Jin I'm sorry I was in such a rush I wasn't paying attention. I'm actually enrolling to an Academy soon and I still have to get ready." Noel had replied in a hasty and nervous tone
"Whatever just proceed with your business I just got finished in the training room so my advice to you would be to use it to hone your skills. I have seen your combat rank and if you don't improve then the Academy you enroll into will be the death of you if not the Grimm." Jin had told Noel in a brutally honest tone
"I understand thank you for the advice." Noel had said
"Oh come on it's not like she's going to be alone at Academy. After all, Noellers is gonna have me watching her back." An energetic voice had said
When the two looked at the source of the voice it was Makoto Nanaya. Makoto is a Faunus that has the traits of a squirrel and has been very energetic with her friends. Though beneath that layer of energy she has experienced many problems in her life especially during the early days of the School.
"With me watching out for her she won't have any problems at the Academy. The main reason is that I'm enrolling as well. Isn't that right Noel?" Makoto had sad with a great deal of confidence
"Right Makoto but don't forget I will be watching your back as well at the Academy. I only wish that Tsubaki can come to the Academy with us." Noel had responded with a nervous tone
"Thank you Noel but I'm sure that the two of you will do fine on your own." Another voice had said much to everyone's shock
All of them looked at the owner of the voice and saw a red haired woman with sharp blue eyes. The owner of the voice is Tsubaki Yayoi part of a noble family and a good friend to both Noel and Makoto who is also a childhood friend with Jin.
"Oh Tsubaki I didn't see you come to us. You have a concerned look on your face is everything OK?" Noel had asked
"I've just been busy getting ready for Atlas Academy and it took up more time than I thought. Don't worry I've been alright if anything I'm concerned about Carl." Tsubaki had said with a worried look on his face
"Wait little Carl is missing?" Makoto had said in a concerned and surprised tone
"Well it's just that I have heard from some of the instructors that he has left the Academy a few days ago. Nobody knows why but he had just recently turned in the paperwork and left. Do any of you know if something was different with Carl the last time you saw him?" Tsubaki had said with a concerned look on her face
"Everything was Ok the last time I saw him. Though now that I think about it he was absent for a few days before I saw him again but I didn't think much on it back then. I hope everything is OK with him." Noel had told everyone
"Well little Carl probably had to move and was too stressed about it to tell us. I wouldn't be too surprised I mean he always has been sensitive. For example, he always panics every time I give him a BIG hug because of how cute and adorable he is." Makoto had said
"Considering your semblance which just so happens to be super strength I would be panicking as well Makoto." Noel had said with Tsubaki chuckling and Jin pinching the bridge of his nose
"WHATEVER." Maloto had replied to the laughter of both Noel and Tsubaki
"By the way what are you doing here Jin I thought you would be getting ready for your move to the Academy?" Tsubaki had asked her childhood friend
"I had some spare time on my hands and I decided to make use of the training room. After that I was bumped into by Noel and kindly advised her to make use the room so she can improve her skills." Jin had explained
"Well then why don't we all go to the training room together? I actually want to see how much you have improved Noel. I also want to see your improvements as well Makoto. Your welcomed to come along Jin I mean I know you have used it but I want you to see how much I improved as well." Tsubaki had advised
"Very well Tsubaki I am curious to see how far you came along since the last time we sparred." Jin had said to Tsubaki's satisfaction
"Wow you can just taste the tension between those two huh Noel?" Makoto had whispered to Noel
"Yeah I know Tsubaki doesn't show it but she must be pretty devastated that she can't go to the same Academy as us. Hopefully things will work themselves and we will still stay in touch." Noel had whispered in an optimistic tone
"Well everyone let's go to the training room." Tsubaki had said
(The Training Room)
The four students had travelled the hallway together so they can make use of the Training Room. However when all of them arrived they had noticed that the room has recently been used and the person in there is finished. When doors opened they all noticed a white haired girl with light blue eyes leaving the room. This woman is named Weiss Schnee who is the heiress if the Schnee corporation.
"Oh hello Jin it is good to see you again. So tell me how have you been doing?" Weiss had asked in a humble tone and manner
"I have been doing well Weiss I see that you still continue to make use of the training room." Jin had replied
"I have improved myself greatly but I still have a lot of room to improve myself Jin. If you don't mind can you spend some time helping me better my skills?" Weiss had asked looking at Jin and the ground nervously
However before Jin was able to give Weiss a response. Tsubaki had stood in front of the young heiress taking a bold stance and tone.
"You had just finished the training room Ms. Schnee so I highly doubt you're in much of a condition to arrange a training session. So I HIGHLY recommend you rest." Tsubaki had said with no signs of backing down her glare on Weiss
"I'm only leaving the training room so that other people can use it after all I am trying to be considerate. If anything SOME people need the training room more than others." Weiss had said returning Tsubaki's glare with her own
"Oh boy I can't believe there at it again." Makoto had whispered to Noel
"Um did something happen between the two of them for them to act like this towards each other?" Noel had asked
"WHAT you have got to be kidding Noellers even I know some of the details. Tsubaki and Weiss has been rivals for years. They always competed against each other and it ended in a draw most of the time. What one lacks the other has in spades and it only adds to their rivalry. Not to mention they are trying to get the attention of a certain someone." Makoto had whispered to Noel making sure the others could not hear them
"You know if your curious about my skills your more than welcomed to spar with me in the training room Ms. Yayoi. I mean our families are friends so I'm sure a friendly spar would not be completely out of the question. Unless you have a good reason to not want to spar with me." Weiss had said in a bold tone yet venomous tone
"Very well I accept your challenge but don't think you big sister will be there to comfort you after you lose." Tsubaki had replied with an equal venomous tone.
(The Training Room)
Tsubaki and Weiss had both stood on opposite ends of the training room with their respective weapons. Weiss is armed with the Myrtenaster and Tsubaki is armed with the family weapon the Izayoi. The both of them are also out of their uniform and in their clothes that they feel comfortable fighting in. It was also agreed by both of the girls that one of the school instructors will serve as a referee to avoid the risk of a biased judging. Makoto and Noel are there in the training room to show support for their friend while Jin is there because he did not have anything else to do at the moment. He is also curious to see how skilled the two of them are as well.
"Are all combatants ready?" The instructor had asked receiving a nod from both of the girls
"Then BEGIN." The instructor had yelled before the two of them dashed towards each other locking blades
Weiss was the first to jump back a small distance and decided to stab at Tsubaki repeatedly to drain out her aura bit by bit and eventually create an opening for a major attack. Tsubaki had used her shield to block Weiss's attacks. Tsubaki suspected what Weiss's plan is and decided to wait for a few more minutes with a plan in mind. Then before Weiss's attack had hit the shield again a strong burst of energy was sent from Tsubaki's shield knocking Weiss off balance. Tsubaki had saw an opportunity and decided to take it by repeatedly attack Weiss with her short sword until she stepped back so she can catch her breath.
"Wow Weiss's aura went down by 10% not exactly the best start." Makoto had told Jin and Noel
"True but that plan had put Tsubaki at risk as well. Her weapon the Izayoi has the power to manipulate energy and her semblance allows her to gather energy from light. When the match started she did not have the time nor the chance to gather energy so her weapon and her aura couldn't get strengthened. As a result, that energy burst had physically weakened tsubaki which can hinder her in the long term of the match." Jin had explained to Makoto and Noel
"So tell me Jin who do YOU hope will win in this spar? I mean between your childhood friend Tsubaki or your longtime classmate Weiss you must have some preference." Makoto had asked in a teasing tone
"Personally I don't really care who wins. I am just here to see how much their skills have improved." Jin had replied in a neutral tone
"Darn I should have known that would not have worked." Makoto had whispered to Noel
Weiss and Tsubaki had continued to fight each other repeatedly with their blades clashing repeatedly. Weiss had decided to step back further and decided to use the wind dust within her sword and blasted at Tsubaki with a strong wind. Tsubaki had used a great deal of her strength to block the wind but she had felt exhausted which is due to her earlier attack. Tsubaki had lost her balance for a brief moment though unfortunately for Tsubaki that moment was all Weiss needed. Weiss had used her semblance which are glyphs and used it to launch herself towards Tsubaki with her sword. Being unable to block she had taken the full force of the attack knocking her towards the back of the training room. When Tsubaki had looked at the display she saw that her aura was down by 15% much to her frustration.
"Ouch Weiss's attack looked like it hurts it's good to see she's not giving up." Noel had told Makoto
"True but now Tsubaki has the disadvantage being physically weakened and having the bigger aura loss. But our girl will pull through this after all this is nothing to her." Makoto had said trying to reassure Noel
Tsubaki had noticed the state of her aura and decided to use her semblance to gather energy from the light in the surrounding area restoring her strength in the process. Weiss had noticed what she was doing and used her glyphs again to launch herself at Tsubaki and deal another decisive blow against her. When Weiss got close Tsubaki had used the Izayoi not to block or counter but to launch herself in the air. While she was in the air Tsubaki had continued to gather energy and landed on where Weiss had summoned her glyph from earlier and gathered a great deal of power. Weiss had used her glyphs to summon a stream of icicles to attack Tsubaki. Using her newfound energy, she uses the Izayoi to launch a blast of energy towards Weiss and the ice stream. The energy blast had gone past the icicle stream to Weiss's shock so she summoned a barrier in response. Unfortunately for Weiss the barrier was not strong enough to block the full force of the blast only a small portion of it. The shock had knocked Weiss back and she had found her aura down by 5% leaving the both of them with an equal amount of aura reserves.
"Now they are evenly matched since both of their aura's is at 85% so let's see who will prevail from this scenario." Jin had muttered to himself
Weiss and Tsubaki had to make their next move and effective one. Weiss has proven herself to be effective with dust and she is able to use her semblance for a large variety of purposes. The flaw with her skills is that it requires her to think of a plan on the spot and some of her stronger abilities require time and concentration. If she is not careful then Tsubaki can catch her off guard easily. With Tsubaki on the other hand she is able to utilize the environment and her semblance can strengthen both Tsubaki and her weapon. Unfortunately, the flaw with Tsubaki's skill is that most of her strategies are straightforward so in an extended fight she can be easily predictable which will require her to find new and creative ways to use her abilities. Though despite their skill flaw the two of them have acquired a high combat rank below only to Jin Kisaragi.
Weiss had used her semblance to launch herself towards Weiss but instead of a normal stab she had enveloped herself in electricity. Tsubaki had used her shield and strengthened it to block the attack. Unfortunately, she since she cannot use the Iayoi and her semblance at the same time a limitation that Weiss is clearly taking advantage of. It was in that moment Tsubaki had decided to use the shield blast she used earlier to knock Weiss back. Unfortunately for the both of them the explosion had knocked the both of them back and had injured them both. With the electric dust and light shield blast neither of them can handle the force and it had slipped past their defenses. The result was their aura's taking a 25% drop since the both of them put too much power behind their attack.
The two had continued to attack each other slowly dwindling their aura bit by bit. Then eventually the both of them was in a position to win with one blow. However, the attack had to land and one mistake could ultimately backfire on them which will cost them victory. The girls had spent time getting themselves ready for their decisive move. Tsubaki was using her semblance to charge up her power and her weapon. While Weiss was charging up her glyphs so she can get ready as well.
"So their next move will determine the victor of this match." Jin had said to himself
Then after a brief moment the two of them had made their move. Weiss had used Glyph to launch a large and powerful sword beam at Tsubaki. As a response Tsubaki had launched her own energy blast towards Weiss. Though what happened next had surprised Weiss as the blast of energy that Tsubaki launched had absorbed her sword beam and continued towards Weiss. When the blast had hit Weiss but instead of injuring her it had put her in a bind. Then with the last of her energy Tsubaki had dashed herself towards Weiss with the intent to finish her off. Then when Tsubaki got close Weiss had cracked a smirk because when Tsubaki was about to attack Weiss a glyph had appeared beneath the two of them and an explosion had soon followed. When the explosion had dissipated the two of them were knocked out with their aura completely depleted.
"I see Weiss knows that Tsubaki couldn't land a strong blow against her from a distance. So she had placed a second glyph beneath the first one so it could be a trap. I highly doubt she expected the explosion to knock her out as well. Though that might be a result of Tsubaki as well since she was still able to hit Weiss regardless." Jin had explained while Makoto and Noel listened with amazement
"Since both combatants are unable to battle further I will declare this a draw." The instructor had said before leaving while Jin, Noel, and Makoto tended to Weiss and Tsubaki
(The infirmary)
Jin had stood outside the infirmary while waiting for everyone to return. Jin was told that Tsubaki's and Weiss's injuries weren't serious and it would take some rest to make a full recovery. Unfortunately, this would delay them getting ready for their move to the Academy but it was a small price to pay. While Jin was waiting the first person to leave the Infirmary was Noel.
"The both of them will heal up in no time though they are still going at it but they will eventually cool off." Noel had told Jin
I am not surprised by this Noel but thank you for informing me regardless. Tell me Noel did Tsubaki tell you which Academy she was going to be attending?" Jin had asked Noel
"Oh well Tsubaki told me and Makoto that she will be attending Atlus Academy. She said that her family had insisted on a Academy that is close to home and well you know how she is about her family." Noel had explained to Jin
"I see well in that case it is not too surprising after all since she has always been close to her family. Tell me what Academy will both you and Makoto be attending since I suspect that the the two of you will attend different Academy's from Tsubaki's?" Jin had asked in a curious tone
"Oh well both me and Makoto will be going to Beacon Academy together. My parents recommended it since they want me to see the world. As for Makoto well since she found out which Academy I will be attending she insisted with her family that she attends Beacon as well." Noel had explained to Jin seeing a brief look of annoyance on his face.
"I see that I will have to deal with you for a few more years as well. My family insisted that I attend Beacon as well. They had insisted that I see more of the world that is outside of Atlus and Beacon will be a good Academy for me to go to. Do you know which Academy Weiss will be attending?" Jin had explained to a surprised Noel
"Oh I see well in that case I suppose I am looking forward to it. As for Weiss well I honestly don't know I mean me and Makoto aren't that close to her so I can only guess. Tsubaki might know but they are only associated with each other because their families are longtime friends but even then there are no guarantees for the details." Noel had explained
"I see well thank you for the details Noel. It looks like the two of them will resting so I will be going to finish my preparations for Beacon." Jin had said before getting up and walking away. But before he could go he was stopped by Noel
"Um Jin before you go I have to ask. I heard around the school that you was adopted so um is that true?" Noel had asked
"I don't see how that is any of your business Noel. But to indulge your curiosity then yes I am adopted." Jin had replied
"Well in that case I'm just curious do you know if you have any blood relatives?" Noel had asked in a nervous tone
"I do have a sister and a brother but it doesn't matter, not anymore. My adoptive family had taken the initiative to contact my old caretaker and informed her that I will be attending Beacon. I would like to continuing getting prepared so I can take my mind off of the matter entirely." Jin had replied in an intense tone
"Oh I see well in that case I will leave you alone." Noel had said before being stopped by Jin
"Wait I have a question of my own it's something I've always been curious about. Your guns Bolverk is it true that they are the fabled aura weapons?" Jin had asked
"Oh why yes I can't remember how I got them but they have been with me for a very long time. The best part is that when I lose them Bolverk always finds its way back to me." Noel had replied
"I see that will be all then." Jin had said before leaving to continuing preparing for Beacon while Noel was slightly confused as to why Jin would ask about her weapons
(The Atlus Park)
It was nighttime by the time Jin had went to the park so he can relax after he had finished getting ready. While at the park it was a good chance for Jin to take a look his aura weapon the yukianesa. Jin does not remember how he had acquired his sword as well but all he knows is that it has been with him for a long time as well. Jin could not explain it but he felt a strong connection to his sword and when he used it all of its functions felt natural to him. After looking at his weapon Jin had looked at the moon while reminisced about his childhood. Jin still remembers his days with his siblings Ragna and Saya before he was adopted. Though after Jin was adopted he was told by his parents that he can visit them anytime he wants. While Jin had visited them in the past his visits was brief and eventually he stopped visiting at all. Looking at the moon gives him a reminder of his childhood and his old fear.
"The moon, I've always hated it." Jin had muttered to himself
While Jin was deep in thought he had heard a loud noise that is not too far from him. Jin had rushed towards the source and came across a Schnee store that has signs of being broken into. When Jin had taken a closer look he had noticed a group of people in a grey and black uniform wearing what appears to be a Grimm mask.
"So this is the White Fang that has been causing trouble. Well I suppose that this is a good time for me to see how my skills measures up to these terrorists." Jin had said before walking towards the White Fang
When the White Fang noticed him they did not waste any time and stated firing at Jin with their machine guns. Jin had used his sword to block all of the shots while it is within its sheath. Then Jin had used his semblance to summon a stream of ice from the air and attacked the White Fang members. Some of the White Fang was hit while others had dodged it. Some of the White Fang members had taken out melee weapons and proceeded to charge towards Jin. Though Jin had saw the White Fang members approach him he had continued to maintain his stand. The moment the White Fang members got close to Jin was what he was waiting for. In an instant Jin had drawn yukianesa and cut each of the White Fang members. Then he had dashed towards the remaining members at lightning speed and had cut them as well. The instant the White Fang members were cut their bodies had become frozen leaving only their heads exposed so they could be able breath.
After Jin had stopped the robbery he had called the police and they had came in several minutes. They had spent a good deal of time freeing the White Fang members from the ice before arresting them. Then after that they had questioned Jin due to the procedures that they must follow.
"Well thank you for stopping the White Fang from robbing this store of it's dust Mr. Kisaragi. We've had dust robberies for months and having some of them captured should give us some answers. If not then at the very least a lot of innocent people will sleep easier tonight. You know if you continue doing services like this then you could be the Hero of Remnant." The Officer had said
"Think nothing of it Officer I just did what anybody with my skills, experience and circumstances would have done. Now if you would excuse me I have some more personal business to tend to and I do not wish to hold off on it any further." Jin had explained
"I understand sir just be sure to stay safe for the evening. Once again thank you for your assistance for tonight Mr. Kisaragi." The Officer had said before Jin left to go home
"Hmm Beacon Academy so what will I encounter during the next four years." Jin had said to himself before leaving the area.
(Ronin-Gai)
Within the Village loud noises can be heard from the Dojo. From within the Dojo a man can be heard yelling very loudly as if thunder had striked repeatedly and someone heard it from close up. Inside the Dojo many mannequins have been pierced by nails on the target markers while more has been pierced as the man was yelling.
"Another . . another . . .and one more." The loud voice had yelled
"You continue to amaze me with your intense training. Though don't you think you should get some rest after all you have been at it since this morning." A young voice had said
"I appreciate your concern young master however I must continue to surpass my past self if I am ever to be worth of the title Huntsman. I have been trained in the ways of a ninja and it is part of my duties to protect the weak and innocent and I cannot allow my skills to waver. For I shall be the guardian of peace to both human and Faunus. Soon I shall be a worthy protector of love and justice. It is my creed to be the Huntsman worthy of that name for I am BANG SHISHIGAMI!"
(A/N) For this story I will be replacing the Nox Nyctores with aura weapons for the sake of the lore within this story. the functions will be similar but different enough so it will be a good compliment to the concept of aura's and semblance. Characters who has Nox Nyctores in the blazblue games will have aura weapons. The weapons themselves will be similar to their Nox Nyctores counterpart but have different functions since the user will most likely have a semblance. To prevent potential confusion the lore of aura weapons will be explained later in this story.
For example Jin's semblance allows him to create and control ice from the moisture in his surrounding and his aura weapon yukianesa freezes anything that it cuts. Though how much it freezes depends on Jin.
So read and review
Thank you
