Due to unexpected interventions, Azrael got away and Jubei was by himself. Jubei made it to the Church and told Celica what happened, and she decided to go and visit Jin while deciding to take Saya and Minerva. Since it will be a chance to help Jin and visit the brothers since she considers them to be family.
Chapter 30 Pleasant Connections
(team RJNN's dorm room)
Before the field assignment officially started, the students were told that after they finished their field assignment they were finished for the day. This was fortunate for Ragna, because he was greeted with a surprise in the form of his caretaker and sister being within Emerald Forest. A situation that caught team RJNN completely by surprise causing them to withdraw. After the team returned to Beacon with Celica and Saya, along with the mechanical doll Minerva. The team decided to go to their dorm room and wait until Professor Goodwitch is ready to speak with them.
"So let me repeat what you've told me to make sure I understand the full story. You decided to take Saya to come to Beacon and you got lost which caused you to be in a Grimm infested location?" Ragna said in a dumbfounded tone still trying to comprehend how this could happen
"Well we did have a map to show us how to get to Beacon. But I had a hard time following its directions and eventually I . . . . lost the map. But it's a good thing that I decided to bring Minerva with me. Or else those Grimm would have killed me and Saya." Celica said to Ragna causing him to mentally facepalm
"I can understand that much knowing how awful and bizarre your track record is when it comes to you getting lost. But why didn't you use you or Saya use your scrolls to call for help? Or better yet how did you know what happened with Jin?" Ragna asked in a tone that is a mix of worry and irritation
"Well um, to answer your first question, I don't know how to use my Scroll that well. Besides I didn't think I would get us lost. As for your second question, your master managed to come by and told me everything that happened. Well look at the bright side, we were able to meet up with each other. Though I do admit that it's not in the way any of us wanted." Celica told Ragna before having an awkward chuckle. Before Ragna could mentally facepalm further, his scroll went off. When he looked to see why, he saw that it was Professor Goodwitch who sent him a message
"You know what, I have to get going. Noel, Makoto I want you two to look after Sister Celica and my sister. It goes without saying, but don't screw this up." Ragna said in a tone that is a mix of caution and anger before leaving.
"Ragna seems to be diligent about his role as a leader." Celica said after noticing Ragna leave the room
"Nah, he got hit with another probation recently. So he's acting like that so he can try to butter up the Professors to let him off early." Makoto said in a blunt tone
"Oh dear, that's unfortunate." Celica said in a tone that has a hidden bitterness within them
"Well since you and Saya are here to visit Jin, would you like for me and Makoto to take you to him?" Noel asked the two
"Sure, we need to make sure that we don't get lost after all." Saya said causing Sister Celica to flinch in embarrassment and Noel and Makoto to laugh. After the brief laughter, Makoto decided to speak to everyone
"Sorry guys, as much as I would like to bring Ragna's family to visit his own brother. I have a few things on my mind and I want to clear my head." Makoto said before she left the room
"I get the feeling that something is wrong with her, is everything alright?" Celica asked in a tone that is a mix of kind and concerned
"Well it's just that she's not speaking with a friend of ours. Her name is Yang, something happened recently and Makoto is mad at her about it." Noel told Celica
"Does she have a lot of blonde hair, if she does I know exactly who you're talking about. Did they ever talk about what's going on between the two?" Celica asked Noel
"She does have a lot of blonde hair, so that saves us some time. But no, they didn't talk about anything at all. This has been going on for about a week and I'm starting to get worried." Noel said voicing her concerns about Makoto's friendship with Yang
"Hmm, well I advise that you give it a few more days at least. If they care about each other's friendship, then at some point they will talk to each other. If they talk things out calmly and it doesn't result in a shouting match, then they will be able to handle everything without outside help." Sister Celica told Noel using her experience with Ragna, Jin, and Saya
"I see, thank you sister Celica I'll give it more time." Noel said in a grateful tone
"Don't worry about it, and please call me Celica. Now you were about to take me and Saya to Jin." Celica said causing Noel to have a look of a sudden realization
"Your right, come on let's get going." Noel said before she proceeded to take Celica and Saya and Minerva to where Jin is resting at
(Professor Ozpin's Office)
The headmaster has recently gotten finished watching the students in Professor Goodwitch's class conduct their assignments within Emerald Forest. But a couple of events has occurred during the team exercise that requires the Headmaster's attention. Among those events are the arrival of a couple of innocent bystanders who made their way into Emerald Forest. Ozpin is glad that the bystanders are people that Ragna knows personally and that his team was able to rescue the two. So that event did not plague the Headmaster's mind.
The event that did plague the headmaster's mind is the appearance of the Abnormal Grimm. From Qrow's reports, the Abnormal Grimm shows to be stronger than most other Grimm, even the higher-class Grimm species. What makes them more of a threat is that they are difficult to track unless they travel in herds large and small. To make matters worse, they display abilities that's similar to the semblance of a Huntsman or Huntress. Even though there is a lot of mystery to the Abnormal Grimm, there is one person who has a connection to the empowerment of the Grimm that Ozpin is aware of thanks to Jubei's warning.
"Terumi, what are you trying to do now?" Professor Ozpin muttered to himself before he heard someone enter the office. When the Headmaster looked to see who entered, he saw that it was General Ironwood, and he had a look on his face that is a mix of concern and frustration.
"Ozpin, I've recently looked over the security footage and I've noticed something that's troubling." General Ironwood said the Professor Ozpin
"James, I've seen the footage of the Vale Borders and so far things look relatively stable." Professor Ozpin told the General trying to reassure him
"I'm not talking about the footage from the borders. I'm talking about the footage from Emerald Forest." General Ironwood told Professor Ozpin causing the Headmaster to have a hidden yet brief surprised look on his face
"James, if you wanted to oversee the activities of my students then all you had to do was ask." Professor Ozpin said in a calm and casual tone before General Ironwood spoke further
"I prefer to monitor things like this at a distance, but on to the matter at hand. How long have you been dealing with these Abnormal Grimm?" General Ironwood asked with a good deal of sternness
"These Abnormal Grimm have been in Vale for a few months now. Qrow was able to deal with them in a quiet manner but their strength is more than anything I've seen. Have you had to deal with these Abnormal Grimm in Atlus?" Professor Ozpin asked
"Occasionally but never so close to the school in Atlus. But as I was looking at the security footage, I noticed something interesting. One of your students has a weapon that was able to not only severely weaken these Abnormal Grimm. But also stop your other students from using their aura. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this is another one of those fabled aura weapon." General Ironwood said showing Professor Ozpin the footage of Bang's giant nail glowing with the markings and causing a shockwave that severely weakened the Grimm and stopped his team and team JNPR from using their own aura.
"Where are you getting at James?" Professor Ozpin asked with a concerned tone knowing the likely answer
"Students who lived in my kingdom who is currently enrolled in your school have aura weapons of their own. Though the weapons are useful, we couldn't do much with them. But with this Aura Weapon, it was able to weaken the Grimm and it can manipulate Aura to some degree. I suggest that we should confiscate it so that we can learn more about it and find a way to replicate it. As well as finding proper countermeasures to it." General Ironwood suggested to the Headmaster causing Ozpin to shake his head in disbelief
"With all due respect James, what do you think a move like that will accomplish. Aura Weapons choose their masters and if someone who is not the master tries to study or recreate aura weapons. Then there is a very likely chance that the attempt will end in failure. Not to mention that if by some close to nonexistent some chance that you do succeed. You and by extension Atlus will have a great power which will make things problematic. Continue this line of thinking, and you'll be like those people that ran the Murakumo Labs that you had to shut down." Professor Ozpin explained to General Ironwood causing him to be sigh in frustration
"Ozpin the threats that we're fighting against is on the move. We don't know what their planning, but if they make their move we need to be ready. Another thing that has me concerned is Lord Tenjo herself. I can't explain or prove it, but I have a strong suspicion that she's hiding something. These Abnormal Grimm, the activity of the White Fang, not to mention the Mad Dog himself is on the loose again. I don't know what's going on, but whatever it is I don't like it. Oz, is there anything I should know that can help us in any way? Something like a warning or something that your suspicious about." General Ironwood asked in a pleading tone to the Headmaster
"No James, the moment that I learn something that is useful. You'll be the first person to know about it." Ozpin told the General
"Thank you Ozpin, that's all I ask." General Ironwood said before he left the Headmaster's office. After the General left
"I know and suspect more than you realize General. But I don't think you're ready to know such a heavy truth." Professor Ozpin said thinking about the future
(Team BLST's Room)
After the assignments were concluded within Emerald Forest, both team JNPR and team BLST had separate meetings with Professor Goodwitch. Both Bang and Jaune were given praise for working together to handle a common problem. Unfortunately, both teams were given some demerits for being hasty in withdrawing instead of looking at all possible options. Though the report isn't what truly bothered Bang. What was on Bang's mind is the activation of his aura weapon. It was the second time that his aura weapon phoenix rettenjo activated and Bang feels like he's no closer to mastering his aura weapon, let alone use its power.
"Hmm, there must be a way for me to use it freely. But how, if only my master would tell me something." Bang muttered thinking out loud about his concerns with his giant nail
"Bang, is everything alright? You look like your troubled about something." Amane asked in a concerned tone while he was knitting a robe
"Oh, I'm fine Amane, but if you don't mind me asking. What are you doing and why is your semblance covering your body?" Bang asked Amane noticing his new attire and his activity
"Oh I'm working on a few outfits for a performance I'm planning. Everything is almost ready and after that I just need to find some volunteers. As for my outfit, yesterday was a wake-up call and I realized that I need to find better ways to utilize my semblance. So for starters, I decided to expand my aura sash into my clothes. For now, I'm just testing the waters with this new skill. Once I have a more solid grasp of what more I can do with my semblance, I'll see how it handles in a fight." Amane said while working on his set of outfits. After a few seconds have passed, a loud knock was at the door and Bang being the closest decided to answer it. When he opened it, the person standing at the door is a pink haired woman that Bang recognized as Baiken from the Beacon Cliffs.
"Oh um . . Miss Baiken what are you doing here?" Bang asked in a surprised tone with the rest of his team looking to see who Bang is talking to
"I told you students before not to worry about things like Miss or Professor, but let's focus on why I'm here. Your name is Bang Shishigami, leader of team BLST and until a few months ago you lived in Ronin-Gai correct?" Baiken asked quickly summarizing the details about Bang
"Yes, all those details are true." Bang said answering the Huntress's question
"Well let's get to the reason I'm here. I saw how you handled yourself in Emerald Forest and quite frankly you need to work on a lot of things." Baiken told Bang which surprised him
"Huh but Scruffy is the leader of our team meow. Doesn't that mean he's the strongest out of all of us meow?" Tao asked in a surprised tone
"That's not necessarily true Tao. When someone becomes the leader of their team. It means they have the best capabilities to lead. Just because someone is the leader doesn't mean that they are stronger than each member of their team." Amane explained to Tao
"I see, so if meow beats Scruffy, then I get to be the team leader." Tao said causing her teammates and Baiken to mentally facepalm
"No Tao that's not how it works. You know what, remind me to tell you how leadership works later." Amane told Tao regaining his curiosity on why Baiken has arrived
"Well if you see that there are a lot of things I need to work on. Why are you here, if you don't mind me asking?" Bang asked curious about Baiken's presence as well
"I'm here to give you a chance to get some special training done. The special training I have in mind is for you is to help you get better with your aura. From the looks of things, your master taught you a few basic essentials. Not to mention that your able to use your semblance. But if you want to get stronger, then I highly advise you to take up my training." Baiken told Bang in a tone of authority
"Wait a second, what do you know of my master?" Bang asked in a questioning tone
"Let's just say that I knew her from a long time ago when I was training to be a Huntress. So how about, if you continue to make good progress with your training, I'll tell you more about what your master is like when she was younger. So would you accept the training?" Baiken asked Bang
"The offer is nice, but I would feel better if my teammates are . . ." Bang was saying before Amane interrupted him
"Go for it Bang, you don't have anything better to do and unlike a certain someone you're not on probation. I still need time to get the outfits ready and Tao needs to study. Besides there's no harm in getting some extra training done. Especially if there's a chance that you'll be able to better handle your special weapon." Amane told Bang supporting the special training
"Go on ahead Bang, I can't leave the Beacon grounds for another few days anyway. Besides, if you learn anything worthwhile I'm sure you'll tell us about it." Bullet said showing support for Bang getting special training
"Hmm alright, I'll do it. If it helps me become a better protector then I'll take up your special training Baiken. If you don't mind me asking, when do we start?" Bang asked with enthusiasm
"We start immediately, but don't get too enthusiastic boy. Because once your training starts, you'll know nothing but pain." Baiken said with a sinister look in her eyes and voice
(Beacon Hallways)
"So all of that happened with Ragna ever since he became leader of your team?" Celica asked after Noel told her and Saya the main details of everything that happened with Ragna
"Yeah, even though he's our team leader. It's a little hard to believe that he's a handful for us. Normally it's supposed to be the teammates that are the handful for the leader but not the other way around." Noel told Celica thinking back on her experiences with Ragna
"Well I'm glad that Ragna has good teammates looking out for him." Celica said in a kind tone
"If only things were better between him and his brother. Have the both of them always been like this before Jin was adopted?" Noel asked slightly curious about Ragna's and Jin's past
"They were like this a few months before Jin was adopted. Things was different at one point but something happened between the two. I can't remember the full details but what I do remember is . . ." Saya said before Celica covered her mouth
"That was a long time ago Saya and its not in our place to tell other people if neither of them hasn't told anyone." Celica said before she removed her hand from Saya's mouth
"Well is there anything we can do for them? I don't know what happened, but they can't keep this feud up forever." Noel said in a concerned tone before the three of them started to hear the voice of a young girl. When the sound of the voice got closer, Noel recognized it as Ruby. Also, by the sound of it she was with Weiss.
"So let me see if I got this right? We have to check on Jin regularly since we were competing against each other for the assignment. For the sake of good sportsmanship, and to make sure he'll be fully recovered the next time we compete against each other." Ruby said summarizing the details of Weiss's plan to her
"Exactly Ruby, even though team RJNN being shorthanded was an advantage to us. It didn't feel like a proper victory or competition. So it is our duty to know for certain that Jin will make a full recovery so next time it will be a proper rematch." Weiss briefly explained herself to Ruby
"Really, are you sure that there isn't more to it?" Ruby asked Weiss in a teasing tone
"I . . . I don't know what you're talking about. Hey look its sister Celica the woman me and Yang was telling you about." Weiss said before she quickly brought Ruby to Celica in a fast pace
"Sister Celica, it's good to see you again. I would like to formally welcome you into Beacon. The girl that is with me is my team leader . . ." Weiss was saying before Ruby used her semblance to get close to the mechanical doll Minerva
"Ooh, I've never seen a weapon like this before. Is it an actual weapon, what can it do, it looks so awesome can I see what it can do?" Ruby asked Celica in a fast paced after seeing Minerva
"Oh my, it's nice to see that you're so enthusiastic about my friend. Well to answer your first question. Even though this is a technically a weapon, I see her as my friend. Her name is Minerva and her main functions is to protect me and follow my commands. As long as its within reason of course." Celica told Ruby while the hooded girl have sparks in her eyes
"Wow, that is so cool Ms. Celica. Can you get it to do something please?" Ruby asked Celica with a pleading look in her eyes
"Hmm alright." Celica said before she looked at Minerva before the two exchanged looks. After they exchanged looks, Minerva took a look at Rub and proceeded to grab her. After Minerva grabbed Ruby, the mechanical doll proceeded to toss Ruby into the air for a few seconds. Ruby was laughing during the whole situation indicating that she's enjoying herself. After tossing Ruby into the air, Minerva proceeded to sit Ruby on its shoulders.
"That was so awesome, can she do it again, pretty please?" Ruby asked with a pleading tone and look
"Sorry, but we need to go visit Jin. Besides, I doubt you want to spend the whole day being tossed in the air like that. Saya can attest to that." Celica told Ruby causing her to put after being put down
"Fine, but how about this, your friend Minerva keeps tossing me in the air after we all visit Jin. Oh and I'm Ruby leader of team RWBY, the team that Weiss is a part of." Ruby said as she was introducing herself to Celica while the older woman chuckled
"Well, it's nice to meet you Ruby. We overheard you talking to your friend and it looks like we have the same destination. So how about this, while we get there Minerva can carry you on her shoulder. Does that sound good?" Celica asked causing Ruby's face to lit up again
"Yes, now off to Jin." Ruby said in an excited tone after Minerva put Ruby on its shoulder and the small group went to Jin's room
(The Beacon Rooftop)
When Makoto first arrived at Beacon, she spent a good deal of time touring the school and found that the rooftop was the most relaxing location. While Makoto is on the rooftop, she noticed that she is able to relax with a great deal of her personal thoughts while being treated with a pleasant view. It is here that Makoto is able to better think about both future and recent events.
"Yang, I want us to start talking again. But I still can't believe you kept me in the dark like that. There must be some way she can understand how I feel. I know she had a good reason for it, but doesn't she think about things like people left behind. Urg there's just so much going on right now." Makoto said to herself before she spoke further
"Not to mention that the big dance is coming up soon. Should I just say how I really feel, maybe things will . . . nah it wouldn't work out besides I wouldn't stand a chance against . . ." Makoto said before she heard the door open up. When Makoto looked to see who it was, she saw that it was Yang who entered the rooftop.
"I asked around and some of the students saw you come up here." Yang said in a nervous tone
"You can have this spot to yourself. I'm going back to my dorm room." Makoto said as she was leaving. Before she went too far though, Yang quickly grabbed her arm preventing her from going further.
"Before you try to get away from me again Makoto, we need to have a talk." Yang said with a stern look on her face
"I'm patient, so I'll only ask you once to let go." Makoto said with a tone that bears a lot of tranquil fury
"I'll let go if you're willing to listen to what I have to say. We can fight on this rooftop and the both of us can get into trouble. Or we can talk it out like civilized people. Your choice, but you should know that one way or another you will hear what I have to say." Yang said as her eyes was getting red. When Makoto saw what Yang was prepared to do, she calmed down and went back to her earlier spot
"Fine I'll listen to what you have to say." Makoto said in a bitter tone
"Thank you, Makoto. First, I want to say that I'm sorry for leaving you in the dark like that. My teammates explained to me why your mad at me, and after doing some thinking I have a better idea on what I did to you. It's a bit of a long story though, so a fair warning." Yang told Makoto before she started to speak to her further
"As you know, me and Ruby are sisters. But what you don't know, is that we are only half-sisters. Before I knew that, there was a woman who was involved in our lives. Her name is Summer and she was like a super mom. She was a Huntress and she would go out to protect the people and still manage to come back to bake cookies." Yang told Makoto with her listening to every word
"She sounds like an incredible mom Yang." Makoto told Yang praising Summer Rose
"She's an incredible mom Makoto. But one day when she went out on a mission she didn't come back. At the time, Ruby and my dad was devastated and Ruby was too young to fully understand what was going on. It wasn't too long before I found out why. It was around that time I learned that me and Ruby are half-sisters. Summer was the second love of my dad's life. The first love of his life was my mom. She left shortly after I was born." Yang explained to Makoto causing her to have a surprised reaction
"All of that sounds complicated Yang. So why did she leave, or better yet what does it have to do with what you did?" Makoto asked Yang but is slowly getting curious about Yang's story
"I'm getting to that Makoto, so let me finish tell my story. You see, when I found out about my mom. I was determined to get the answers to my questions. For a while I would ask everyone I could about my mom. I would ask about all sorts of things I could think of, I hate to admit it but knowing about my mom was my sole obsession. What I'm trying to say is that what I did to you, is the very same thing my mom did to me. When I thought about why your mad at me. I realized that I put myself in danger and didn't bother to think about how you felt. As you heard by now, a lot of things went wrong. I know I can't change what I did, but I'm sorry Makoto." Yang said apologizing to Makoto. After Makoto heard Yang's apology, she stepped towards the rail and looked into the sky for a moment. After the moment passed Makoto started to speak to Yang.
"When I first enrolled into the combat school in Atlus. A lot of people gave me a hard time because I'm a Faunus. After a few months I couldn't take it anymore and tried to leave. Noel and Tsubaki stopped me and made me feel a lot better about myself. After that we ended up becoming good friends. After a while I was able to make more friends, like for example Mai. However, a few things happened after a while." Makoto told Yang before continuing her story
"You see, I was still getting messed with because I'm a Faunus. But I was able to endure it because I have my friends. Unfortunately, Noel and Tsubaki were also getting messed with just for being close to me. Since I'm closest to Noel and Tsubaki, they were getting bullied as bad as I was. They were being called thing like Animal Lover, Freak Sympathizer, or humanity's traitor. When I found out I decided that enough was enough and made the decision to run away. It was bad enough that I had to endure it, but because my friends were dragged into it, I couldn't take it anymore." Makoto told Yang causing her to have a concerned look in her eyes
Makoto, I'm so sorry." Yang told Makoto in an apologetic tone
"After I made the decision to run away, I spent a while getting ready and then the big day came. When I went far enough I was able to notice two people following me. The two people were Noel and Tsubaki. Them following me was the last thing I wanted. So I ran but they were able to catch up. When I confronted them about why they were following me. Tsubaki asked me a question that made me change my mind." Makoto told Yang
"What did she ask you?" Yang asked getting curious as well
"She asked me did I consider her and Noel to be my friends. I answered tearfully that I do, but I also told them that it was because of that I had to run away. I didn't want anyone to get dragged into the bullying because of me. After I said that, Tsubaki asked me why I didn't think about how they felt if I was gone. When she asked that I was honestly stunned, she told me that if being friends with a Faunus like me was a problem, then they would have cut things off immediately. So I can't make a decision to leave without thinking or caring about how they would feel. They told me that they knew they would get bullied after standing up for me in class the way they did but they didn't care." Makoto told Yang before she continued speaking
"You see Yang, I understand that you had to help Blake. But you knew that you could be in immense danger. I understand not wanting me to get involved for my own safety. But you should have at least cared about how I would feel if something happened to you. Or at the very least trusted me to know that you would be able to handle yourself. I know you have your team, but you guys aren't invincible. When you didn't tell me, you reminded me of the part of myself I don't care for." Makoto told Yang causing her to think for a brief moment before speaking
"You know, Amane told us something similar. If something happened to us then people would grieve for us. Also that we didn't think anything through. I'm sorry Makoto, so how about this if I decide to go with my team to try and act like Huntresses again. Then I'll let you know so you won't get worried. But you have to trust that team RWBY can handle it unless I say otherwise, alright." Yang told Makoto trying to make things right
"Alright Yang, all I ask is that you just keep me up to date on these things." Makoto told Yang in a kind tone
"So are we good?" Yang asked while holding her arm out
"Always are." Makoto said before the two locked arms for a moment. After that Makoto started to speak
"So how's Blake doing?" Makoto asked in a concerned tone
"Not so good honestly, after we got back Blake has been doing a lot of reading and research but I don't think its related to class. When any of us try to bring up the subject, she just brushes us off. Honestly I'm getting worried, I know how it feels to be obsessed with something, and I'm seeing what it's doing to her." Yang explained to Makoto about what was going on with Blake
"Hmm it looks like she needs a good talking to. You know what Yang, we might be able to help each other. I'll talk some sense into Blake, but you need to talk to Ragna." Makoto suggested which caused Yang to look at Makoto in confusion
"What happened, did Ragna try to attack Jin while he was recovering?" Yang asked Makoto
"No, in fact Ragna hasn't visited Jin at all. I know that siblings tend to fight each other, especially brothers. But this is honestly getting tiring. You would think that the two would bury the hatchet since one of them is in the hospital bed. But apparently, I'm wrong in that regard." Makoto told Yang causing her to hae a thoughtful look on her face
"Then how about this, you go talk to Blake, while I go and talk to Ragna. We need our teammates to focus if your team is going to get your butts kicked in the tournament." Yang said though the tournament comment didn't get missed by Makoto
"Hey, don't underestimate us Yang! Or did you forget how strong Jin and Ragna are?" Makoto asked in a competitive tone
"Bring it on, but before we get to that. We need to set things straight with our own teammates. Think you'll be able to convince Ragna to settle things with Jin? At the very least. You are an older sibling after all, so you might have a shot at this." Makoto told Yang causing Yang to think for a brief moment
"Yeah, I'll do what I can. After we speak to the people we're supposed to talk to we give each other an update." Yang said with Makoto agreeing to the idea
(Jin's Medical Room)
For the past few days, Jin has been busy studying so that he doesn't fall behind in his classes while he heals. Though Jin hasn't made as much progress as he liked for two reasons. The first reason is that Jin's Aura Weapon Yukianesa has glowed a few times while the word Maiden keeps spring into his mind along with another word half. Jin wants to look into this matter, but he suspects that he needs to do it discreetly and in his current condition he can't.
"Come on Jin, it's just one movie, I'll let you choose which of the movies we watch first for the watch-a-thon." Jaune said in a pleading tone
"I'm telling you for the last time, I don't like watching movies while I'm studying. I'm also not having a guy's movie watch-a-thon with you and the others once I'm fully heal." Jin said in a cranky tone
"Come on Jin, the movies aren't that long and I've never had an older brother before. I consider Ren to be another brother and I'm sure we can get a couple of guys for the watch-a-thon. Besides it'll be a lot of fun, especially before the dance." Jaune told Jin maintaining his pleading tone
"Did you forget that we have exams coming up and we need to study diligently so we can be prepared? Also once I'm fully healed, I plan to get back into training so I can not only get back into fighting shape. But also improve on my skills and abilities so that my injury won't happen again." Jin told Jaune in a slightly impatient tone
"All the more reason to have our movie watch-a-thon, it'll be a good way for us to unwind and have some fun before the exams. Also the dance is coming up, I bet there are a lot of people on edge. So have the guys night movie watch-a -thon, it'll be action packed and entertaining." Jaune told Jin in a tone of excitement
"OOH ACTION PACKED ENTERTAINMENT!" Ruby yelled rushing into the room with her semblance startling Jaune
Oh hi Ruby, it's a surprise to see you here." Jaune said in a surprised tone
"Can I watch too, pretty please?" Ruby asked in a pleading tone as well
"Sorry Ruby, but this is a guy's only affair." Jaune said in a confident tone
"Oh man." Ruby said while pouting and in a despondent tone. After Ruby was turned down for a chance at a watch-a-thon. A few more people came in the room, it was Weiss, Noel, and another pair of people that in recognizes all too well.
"So that's what happened since I came back after meeting you Sister Celica." Weiss told Celica
"I'm sorry you went through that Weiss. I knew you had problems with the Faunus, but I understand why. Still, thank you for not giving Makoto any problems and also for giving her a chance." Noel told Weiss in a somber tone
"Thank you Noel, I appreciate it." Weiss said in a tone of gratitude
"I'm sorry to do this but I have to get going. I have to get back to studying for an upcoming test and I'm falling a little behind." Noel said before she left
"I'm glad you were able to work things out with your friend. Speaking of friends. . ." Celica said before she looked at Jin and started to smile
"I'm glad to see that your making friends Jin. Who might you be?" Celica asked after looking around for a bit
"My name is Jaune Arc, leader of team JNPR. If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Jaune asked
"My name is Celica A. Mercury and the little girl with me is Ragna's and Jin's sister Saya. I used to be the caretaker of Jin and Ragna. I'm currently taking care of their sister Saya. Now looking at you, I think that you're a good person. You might be able to rub off on Jin and his brother." Celica said in a kind and gentle tone
"You think so, I mean thank you. I know that Jin and I had a rough start. But I think that we can be good friends if given enough time." Jaune said in an optimistic tone to Celica causing her to chuckle at Jaune's remarks. After Celica chuckled, Jaune noticed a gray metallic figure with red eyes entering the room and was curious and scared of it.
"Um what is that thing?" Jaune asked pointing at the metallic figure
"Oh I almost forgot, that is my friend Minerva. Even though she's a weapon, she follows my commands and helps me out so I like to consider her to be my friend." Celica told Jaune
"Oh it looks neat." Jaune commented while looking at it
"How's your back doing Jin, I heard that you've been studying while you were here?" Weiss asked Jin in a concerned tone
"The studying helps me take my mind off of what happened. It's also useful in making sure I don't fall behind in my assignments. Once I recover I'll be able to catch up properly, I also plan to train so this won't happen again." Jin told Weiss
"Oh yeah, I was told by Ragna's master about what happened. So allow me to help you, turn to your side." Celica told Jin
"Um, should we leave for this? I mean he is wearing a hospital gown after all." Ruby said in a nervous tone
"I'm fully clothed Ruby, and what can you do Sister Celica?" Jin asked in a curious tone
"Trust me." Celica said with Jin doing as she said and turning over laying on his side. After Jin turned, Celcia placed her hand on the part of Jin's back that hurts the most. After that, her hand started to glow a light green which amazed everyone in the room. After a few seconds, the light faded and Jin found himself being able to move a lot better than he usually did. Jin managed to stand up and stretch for a few seconds after realizing he's fully healed.
"Whoa that was so cool, is that your semblance?" Ruby asked in an ecited tone at what she's seen
"Not exactly, but it is my ability." Celica told Ruby
"I'm glad your fully healed Jin." Weiss said in a happy tone
"I'm fully healed, I haven't felt like this since I first developed my semblance. I should thank you Sister Celica." Jin said in a tone of happiness
"Your family to me Jin like Ragna and Saya are. So I'll do it for you anytime. Though I am concerned about the circumstances of how you got injured though. At first I first thought that you and Ragna had another fight and things went too far. Before I knew the full circumstances." Celica told Jin
"There's no way Ragna could injure me like that, he's too weak." Jin told Celica
"Well can you at least help him with his assignments, I heard that he's falling behind and I'm getting worried." Celica told Jin
"He can handle himself, like when he always talks back to the Professor's on a daily basis." Jin said while he was still stretching his arms
"Well I told Ragna that if he keeps doing bad in school, then there will be consequences. It looks like it will have to apply to you as well, since you won't help him." Celica said in a stern tone
"I highly doubt your able to threaten either of us." Jin said in a bold tone to Celica
"Oh really, then how about I tell people what the both of you are afraid of?" Celica said in a bold tone causing Jin to freeze in fear and everyone to look at Celica with a curious gaze.
"Wow this must be good, so come on, give us a hint." Ruby said in an excited tone
"Well if their good then I won't tell anyone." Celica said in a tone of confidence
"Wait, how will we know that she's telling us the truth. I mean we've known Ragna for a long while and he's not scared of anything, not even of Professor Goodwitch." Jaune said causing Celica to take a deep breath
"Oh I doubt that, after all Ragna is scared of ghosts." Celica bluntly said stunning everyone in the room who didn't know
"Wait Ragna is scared of ghosts. Hehehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ragna is scared of ghosts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Ruby said while rolling on the floor laughing
"Ragna hides his fears now, but he doesn't really like it when we remind him of it." Saya said while Ruby is still laughing while Weiss snickered and Jaune had a flabbergasted look on his face
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, alright so what's Jin afraid of, the moon?" Ruby said causing Celica to tense up in silence
"Well . . . um . . . I'm sorry Jin I didn't think anyone would figure it out." Celica said causing Ruby to laugh even louder
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, the moon of all things. Oh I can't believe this." Ruby said while she was laughing
"The moon, that has got to be the most . . ." Jaune said before he noticed Jin's death glare and a chill through his body
"Um you know what, it's not that unusual. I mean some people are scared of the water and of heights." Jaune said in a panicked tone
"Well its not the weirdest thing to be afraid of. In fact, there have been cases of people being scared of the moon." Weiss said trying to cheer up Jin
"BUT ITS STILL FUNNY, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! RAGNA IS SCARED OF GHOSTS, AND JIN IS SCARED OF THE MOON! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ruby said continuing to laugh before she passed out
"She's going to be out for a while isn't she?" Jaune asked
"Yep." Weiss plainly and bluntly answered
(Beacon Hallway)
Unknown to everyone who was inside the room with Jin. Ragna was standing a few feet away from the entrance. After talking to Professor Goodwitch about Celica and the assignment. Ragna decided to walk around Beacon. Something within Ragna had made him go to the Medical Wing and noticed Ruby, and Weiss enter the room with Celica, Saya, and Noel. When Noel left, Ragna decided to hide because he didn't want to be seen around there and after she left he stopped hiding. For a few minutes, Ragna just stood outside thinking about what to do. A part of him wants to go and visit his brother, something he hasn't done since he was put in there. But Ragna ultimately decided against it. After taking another look he decided to walk away.
"It wouldn't feel right for me to visit him. Not after what happened 8 years ago. I haven't forgotten and neither has he. Maybe we should bury the hatchet and . . . nah its too late for that." Ragna thought to himself. After a few more minutes, Ragna was out of the Medical Wing and was on his way to the training room. However, Ragna unexpectedly ran into Yang.
"Hello, I was looking for you and it looks like I succeeded." Yang said in an optimistic tone
"You seem cheerful, did something happen?" Ragna asked slightly surprised at Yang's mood
"A few things happened that has managed to put me in a good mood. But first we need to have a talk." Yang said as she was dragging Ragna away
(A/ N)
In this story, Celica is able to heal people using her own power. I can't go into too much details without spoiling things regarding Celica and Nine. But what I can say is that it's not Celica's Semblance, it is magic and the only people that know about Celica's magical abilities are Jubei, Rachel, and Hakumen.
So read and review
Thank you
