9 months later World Remanat, 14yrs before Vol 1, Menagerie Dessert 200 miles from Kuo Kuana, Dec 3rd, 11 am A.G.W 94 Multi pov
*Slash*Slash*Growl*Growl*Warrior cries*Bang*Bang*Bang*Explosion Noises*Explosion Nosise*Sand being dispersed*
Hajime (It seems it's almost over) he thought having easily avoided the attacks Capivara Grimm that they've dealt with the entire time throughout the desert to other villages or towns.
They are pure black-as-night soulless creatures with white skulls and masks with red markings on them. They always attacked in packs of 10 to 20 large rats the size of brown bears back on Earth. Thankfully not as muscular as them even if they were more hostile. He likely had an idea as to why they always attacked them or whatever town or village he had been in for the past nine months.
The first one likely unnoticed by all is like the malevolent and malice radiating off him considering his venture to Hell from time to time to check up on things. And if not that then his constant presence of powerful demons and the likes of the 72 pillars back home.
Or the fact they could likely sense the malice and negative emotions he felts for Ehito when he took away Yue from him once. Leading his creation to his concept magic of Deny all Existence and still has it as one of his many trump cards. He may as well be a beacon in the night, thus drawn to him. Or the fact they could sense his immense magical mana somehow he couldn't know but were just theories for now.
Yet within these months he'd gained the basic information about the four kingdoms of remanet as this world was called. Why did they fight Grimm as well great war that was occurring not too long ago? With effects and damage still felt today but mostly on the Faunas with case and point this Island devoid of life called Menagerie.
The information he knows will be useful in what he'll do later on once he fully knows enough about this world to reveal his true existence to the world. Thus once more he'd fired his Donner & Schlag at his enemies easily shooting down droves of Grimm.
That normally would've been 10 or 20 but literally hundreds against the escouts of 8 with himself included. As he handles the majority now for the past ten minutes of fighting knowing his friends or at least they thought they were to him. Going to ask about his combat abilities doing something that not even Hunters or Huntress could do.
Gong in hand with directing more ire towards the Schnee family he keeps hearing about and then gets into the delusion he was part of that family. Left to the wayside in hopes of killing them. He wasn't going to correct them for it since it helps him in the long run. I mean if someone asked more questions he could just get DNA from one of the Schnee members in Atlas when he goes there one day.
Much like his supposed little sister and family with majority of white fang have been doing peaceful protesters there. Well mostly there as description against their kind was focused there. He says supposed sister as he's been officially adopted by the Belladonna family thus him being Hajime Belladonna.
He's made a reputation for himself across all of Menagerie by now and not because he was the chieftain's son. But mostly for his combat prowess and his saving the lives of each of the caravans, towns, and villages.
He obviously joined this White Fang as it was just a given being his father's organization but unlike his old man. Who normally he'd be on the side of 99 percent of the time. Since he's on a vacation trip, his "friend's" faction he is more of the ever-rising faction within the White Fang.
Works well for him since they are wise to fight the other side of humanity with violence, pain, and despair to gain their respect. Though unlike his friend he knows she won't take things beyond a line she'll never cross such as starting a great war once more.
As the deathly cries of the Grimm rang out soon marked the end of the battle like a fairy in the sky. He'd rained down bullets of deaths upon the remaining 50 enemies before easily landing on the ground. With the bodies of all the 300 Capivra around the battlefield and caravan was slowly disintegrated or running to lack dust.
Sienna Khan (20yrs) "Hey Hajime, while we're thankful it seems you were holding out on us," she said to him honestly and slightly annoyed tone having walked up.
Crossing her arms under the bust and perhaps pouting a little a bit. Not having enough enemies to kill sent her way or rather was allowed. Despite the fact she was sweating and tired from the life-or-death battle
Yuma (20yrs) "Yeah man, especially knowing you haven't unlocked your aura yet or have a semblance like most of have. Even being a genius or prodigy for combat has its limits man," he also says honestly yet having an amused smile.
Being very glad not to be on Hajime's Maou list as he calls it, of people he doesn't like, mess with his family, or outright scum like pedos
Hajime "Yuma, Sienna. Sorry but had to pull all the stops for this one else everyone was going to die," he says in a slightly sorry tone yet still having an amused expression.
Having turned to the friends he made during his time in Meangire he's about to come to a close considering he's being sent to the mainland of Sauns. Heading to the capital of Vacuo for Shade Academy to become a hunter. Mostly allowing him to go from place to place without being questioned about what he might be doing. As well he'll be able to train his Aura and likely find out his semblance there as a side bonus, he wasn't going to throw away free power after all.
Sienna "Well at least we know for certain you'll be alright when you reach Shade Academy. Considering whatever they teach there or train you will be rather easy for you," she simply says with a sigh but a serious tone
Yuma "Haha surely you mean dominte the academy right? I honestly feel sorry for who messes with you once you reach Shade Academy or what you do on Sauns for that matter
Hajime "Good to know your faith in my abilities, that said I shouldn't miss home that much if Sauns is anything like here,"
Yuma "I'd say it's in worst condition than here on some occasions but otherwise still a better improvement. Though not by much as it's still considered a wasteland after the great war ended and what the humans did to it,"
Hajime "Guess I'll have to wait and see then,"
Sienna "Then I guess other than that try not to be a breaker of hearts when your there as you've been at every town," she says honestly and with a slight knowing smile
Yuma "At this point I wonder if you playing for the other team which we have no problem with,"
Yuma "But it gets questionable to deny advance or seek a relationship with anyone because you are still faithful,"
Yuma "To your wives in Atlas that you don't even know if they moved on willfully for coed to forget you by their noble families if they declared you dead,"
Yuma "Which those bastard Schnee might have done knowing that horrible noble family,"
Sienna "For once I'd agree Yuma on this point even I don't wish to, how many women older or young have invited you to take part in their sacred chambers?"
Sienna "Even been given blessings by some of their husbands or wives even? Some even suggest a threesome or moresome if they're bold enough"
Hajime "Too many to count at this point, but yes I get what you mean.
Hajime "Even so, I still need to see them with my own eyes if that's the case even if it's from far off."
Hajime "I do want them to be happy after all even if it's not with someone like me anymore,"
Hajime "I just don't wish them to be mistreated or judged more than they already were being married to me by their families,"
Hajime "Or rather my previous one and good old disappointment of a father who should've known mother wasn't the type to cheat on him. Even if I and many of my former siblings wanted her to.
Hajime "I mean if he'd looked into my mother's family I'm sure he would've found her ancestors must have mated with a Faunus of some kind,"
Hajime "Passing on their genes to me once I popped out of the womb," he simply said while shrugging his shoulder and sighing a bit while having an internal smile
Yuma "Well if you told us about those humans then I guess I can see your point.
Yuma "Being one of the few expectations of humans who treat our kind with respect and as people,"
Yuma "So Sienna and I are with you on that one, but still, man It's been nine months since you had any action,"
Yuma "I wonder if you're a saint at this point holding your desires and instincts to mate this long?" he says in an understanding but also impressed tone.
Hajime "Trust me I am not a saint and in fact, I'm sure other saints would be very insulted by such a notion. As I'm a healthy young man with needs just as much as everyone else. I'm just putting energy in desiring the matters of pleasure into something else more fruitful like training as an example,"
Sienna "Still think it very odd and fortitude of will to not do such a thing. Especially one like you who must have mated multiple times with your wives on a daily if possible.
Sienna "Honestly Hajime, feel sorry for the women, teen,s or multiple who have to suffer your wrath upon them unleashing the beast within in no pun intended," she says in earnest.
And slightly feels sorry for said future women or Faunus victims of Hajime saying a prayer hoping thier poor souls. After being mated to death likely have the best one they may have had before they meet their maker.
Hajime "You guys are possibly exaggerating a bit there but do understand what you're saying. Still doesn't mean gonna change that anytime soon,"
Yuma "Well shall we head back to the other to celebrate? It kind of seems all the folks on the caravan bring out the tables and whatnot for a party,"
Sienna "I guess we should since it seems we won't arrive at Kuo Kuana today as we planned,"
Hajime "Might as well, who knows we might just make it as my old man and the rest of my family arrive back from Atlas,"
Both Sienna and Yuma merely give their friend and comrade a slight smile as they walk back with him towards cheers and warm welcomes by everyone there. All had a feast and partied a bit before waking up early and continuing on to complete their mission.
The following day, Menagerie Kuo Kuana, Cheiftan's/Belladonna's home, Living room Dec 4th, 11 am A.G.W 94 Multi pov
Having arrived at his home just 30 minutes before his adopted family was supposed to arrive. He had to think to himself while overlooking Kuo Kuana as a whole with a sigh. Mentally kicked himself for even getting attached to this family of his when he'd tried his best not to. He could also blame the Belladonnas themselves for seeing what he was doing in not desiring to get close.
Understandably mistaking it he didn't wish to make connections again thinking he didn't wish to be hurt again. Damm them and their stubbornness including little Blake. That he's sure the kid has decoupled a slight crush on him causing his heart to ache a bit knowing likely he's going to be his adoptive family's enemy. He knows them too well to know they would try to stop him and take up arms if needed. Good he hopes he doesn't have to kill them himself and simply die or perish fighting his army or against some random person.
That's what he gets being the cool and dependable brother he supposes knowing that he can still kill them. It'll affect him a bit thinking of memories he's made with this family holding a monster like them into their home. He corrected that mistake with Yuma and Sienna who are disillusioned in thinking he's their friend when at best he's a comrade in arms. Something not as powerful as friendship but enough to know that you can at least expect comrades to perish at one point or another.
He could likely sway Yuma to his side but as for Sienna, he'll have to wait and see with her as she could change her morals. In joining the war alongside him seeing as she's a smart faunus else. Much like if Yuma took up arms against him he'll easily kill both of them without remorse compared to feeling some for the Belladonnas.
Soon enough though he spotted and sensed his good old adoptive family as soon they arrived in town. Thus made his way down to greet them having been back from the Atlas's peaceful protests for Faunus' rights there.
Thus opening the door front door I see them with their bags in their hands. And soon see little Blake speeding towards him with happy energy and a smile as she leaped towards him
Blake "Big brother we're back!" she exclaimed happily while being caught by his arms
Hajime "Blake what did I tell you about doing such a thing? Well no matter I see my little heroine is back safe and sound. Also good to see you both back safe and sound mother, and father," he said with a slightly amused tone while placing Blake on his shoulders. Not being bothered about her playing with his hair or ears even if they tickle a bit. He smiles towards Ghira and Kali knowing it must have been a difficult endeavor in such a kingdom or for that matter keeping his little sister safe.
Ghira "Good to see you back from your week escort mission son. I assume nothing major happened?" he said with a smile and honest tone
Hajime "Other than having to take care of a last-moment Capivara ambush last night before coming here in the morning. Nothing else than the usual danger guarding a caravan through the desert.
Kali "Ambush huh?" she simply asks with a knowing smile, likely something that it bein a mere ambush when it comes to her troublesome adoptive devilish handsome son
Hajime "Well not really since you'll find out what I mean later so I'll just tell you both later when we have dinner,"
Ghira "Guess it'll be a nice story over dinner then before you leave for Shade academy in the morning,"
Hajime "I guess it would, that said hope no major issues occurred when you all protested in the Atlas capital. More than the usual ones I mean?"
Kali "No just the same old stubborn issues occur even if we're just protesting peacefully. Only about a hundred faunus were unfairly handcuffed and sent to prison this time. So there is a bit of progress if we're being honest,"
Hajime "Ha or it could be those in true power in Atlas felt generous that day, trying to save a bit of face as were to the public. Making it look like your protesting is even having results and making them think. At least I'm certain that what I know that bastard and his friends would do,"
Ghira "Perhaps you are right but there is still hope we're getting through them. Or should we choose to go down with what your questionable friend Sienna proposes we should do? We would be playing in their hands and narrative at that point,"
Hajime "I'm not saying that as you know I'm more in the middle regarding how you approach our race to get respected and equal rights. Even I'm slightly more in line to agree with what my friend is saying. But that's only what I'm not seeing or allowed to my loved ones at the moment. It's been nine months after all,"
Ghira "...I know, if it helps, we did our best again in finding out how they're doing along with your children. So far no word, but I'm sure even those horrible people wouldn't do something horrible to them. It also helps there has been no mention nor a rumor that you're dead so there is that,"
Hajime "Or there is but everyone has agreed to keep quiet because of stupid law in place they must have passed in these nine months. But it's fine since I plan to see what's going on once I graduate from Shade Academy. Should at most take me a year before getting my hunter license,"
Blake "I know you can do it, brother! Since that way, I don't have to wait too long to see you again!" she said to him while giving him in the head pats in an encouraging tone and having a smile on her face
Hajime "Thanks Blake, that said let me help you guys unpack. After all, we made plans to go out into the town as a family when you all got back," he says to them reminding them of their familiar promise. To have a family-like outing to reveal every the tress and relax for their respective work as he grabs one the bags to take up towards their room. With Kali and Ghira not too far behind them want their last memory with their adoptive son to be memorable before he heads to the academy
50 Miles south of Kuo Kuana, Maou Castle/Main HQ, Throne room, Dec 5th, 1 am A.G.W 94 Hajime pov
Hajime (Of course it's a cold but good thing it doesn't bother me all. I've experienced way worse than this breeze) he merely thought having gotten off Stieff having snuck out like always. Anyone even notices as he walks through and if one looks from the outside disappears suddenly into the slight desert. Beyond it for miles soon changes a dark edo style blacked yet bit spiked castle seeming above towards the end of the massive estate walls just a mile out from here. Said walls are 20 meters tall with walkways upon them with watch towers marking them.
While hidden within the walls and towers including throughout the 10-mile estate as various Cross Velts and other Artifact weaponry come out. Against invaders or intruders is the first line of defense as it is already overkill. The second line of defense was the walking and flying Grim Reaper Golems looking like Grimm of different kinds. Instead, their skull masks looked Black with dark amber eyes and pure dark gray bodies with blue outline markings all over them.
Yet not look the same as his previous Grim Reapers he uses back at home but very different. With the Orins drones of his stay the same as native birds around here or from Earth. He doubted any Grimm-looking birds would fly or remain hidden in populated places or not be shot at
But the Griffin version was re-skinned with Manticore-like creatures that covered the skies in a patrolling-like pattern as an example of this. Another thing beyond the walls for the mile till racing the mouth of lava Surrounding the entire estate. That also had hidden grim reapers within the to pop out when needed, patroled or walked around outside the walls. Or guarded the inner walls leading to the mile-wide and long edo-style castle.
Said estate had towards the back of the Castle an Airfield/Spaceport as it was filled with various artifacts or Sci-fi vehicles his mind could think off. As well as having a military base filled with vehicles as well. As underground it leads towards and opens near Kuo Kuna port Naval docks/repair yard. Filled with modified and customer versions of WW2 Naval vessels from Battleships to Aircraft carriers filled with modern sci-fi systems from G10's world.
That would set sail and take action soon much like his army and airforce were ready. And finally the estate beside the castle housing his recent editions during his nine months on this Island. That also filled his military and naval areas.
Look like a normal Edo-like town but has heli or space pads here and there and wide enough roads for his larger militarized vehicles to pass through. It didn't have the eerie and horrifying atmosphere as they were dark as night with no stars in sight. The only thing illuminating the night was the Grim Reaper Manticore's dark amber eyes. And the brief flashing of light from the patroling Helicopters, Aircraft, or Sci-fi fighter aircraft.
With said recent editions manning or piloting them he soon uses his Gate key to open a portal to the throne room. And soon bowing in respect where armored like faunus butlers and maids. He took liberties to make their battle attire the opposite of what the Haulia or Fluer Knights had back home.
Such as with these battle maids' outfits weren't Victorian-era style. But ero style listed if he was going to be a true Maou ranging from Friendly French Maid Bedroom Costume, Wild Fantasy Naughty Maid Bedroom Costume, Badly Behaved Maid Costume, Maid in Heaven Play Set, and Flirty French Maid Lingerie Costume. (Spicylingire if you desire to see what I mean.) Being the most deprecated or erotic thing he could think of these Demon Maids.
With Demon Butler's outfits look like King Pharoh of Egypt outfits, Valiant Gladiator Halloween Costume, Pandemic Hunk Holloween Costume, and Hunky School Nerd Holloween Costume compared to Haulia's Ninja attire. (Also can be seen in the men's section of Spicylingere if you're curious as well)
Yet despite looking like very risky or indecent attires they were perhaps the strongest of gears with magical enchantments imbued within them. Such as immune to bullets beyond besides.50cal and even then. It could take a few hits before its barrier shattered, with the same being able to tank hits from laser weaponry like a shield. hat glows crimson every time they hit before.
Said shield goes down and needs to recharge for a minute to use again and yet it can also black normal ammunition as well. Or dust ammunition as their magically enhanced bullets. Having bulti in a cooling or warming system or being able to breathe underwater just fine for 8 hours or so. With the same in the air or space before it needs to recharge for an hour to use again
And yet all of these faunus eyes look as if they nearly have light within in them and without emotion on their faces. Hajime having used something from the two people despises techniques for this. Those being Nakamura Eri and Ehito, as all these people were once dead and seemingly buried over the nine months since he's arrived in this world. From the constant attacks of grimm across towns or villages on the coast.
Cavavens he's escorted or corpses he'd found during his time in the desert. All of them have artificial souls he placed within them and their bodies are enhanced with Evolution Magic and Metamorphosis Magic. Thus within their bodies is a heart-sized monster that stones within them. Thus making them a mixture of Eri's living dead army or Ehitos Apostles of God before they decoupled individuality.
All these faunus numbering ten thousand in total so far also count as his spare bodies in case for some reason. Or rather Miracle is killed off and his Bel Argatha satellites are in space for some reason. Can't revive his body instantly from his supposed death, thus his soul moves into one of these bodies considering these artificial souls are a bit of his soul as well.
He also has the amused yet horrible ability because he desires to keep the depraved theme going. Or rather Haltina Labyrinth's theme for these guys and gals is that all have been enhanced. Their bodies lust the depraved of the depraved and seductive of the seductive of Succubus or Incubus. All of them no matter the age looked very attractive or seductive people with the lowest being an 8 on the beauty or attractive scale.
As well all gave off a passive aura of lustful Pharamones and charm ramped up to eleven unless you had the mental fortitude and will. As he and his party did in one of Haltina Labyrinth's trials, then you lose all your reason and self to lust wanting nothing more.
To either push them down or anyone surrounding you against their will and have your way with them. These guys and gals have the best skill set to pleasure anyone of the opposite or same sex that breaks their mind or will to make them submissive and loyal to him. Or them as little pets on a leash to play with, even if they needed a year to do so or fetish/kink needed.
And if you did have the mental will and fortitude then you'd had to combat them while being distracted by your aroused body. Which was more difficult than it sounded but still doable.
Yet these can still form or have children despite being walking dead monsters as within a Facitliy at the base of the castle, is currently housing the first population of Faunus born. His desecrated army of Faunus with their mothers and fathers there with their children increases his living and breathing population to an extra thousand.
With said babies barely being born yesterday he saw signs. Of parental instinct within those spare bodies of his as they show a bit more emotion in seeing their child and taking care of it. But not enough to be a problem with the good thing seemingly his soul could also as an unexpected boon. Can also be inhabited and usurp the current souls within the children as part of his soul.
Was attached to them as well, so that's a plus. Said facility also worked like a cloning facility as well creating an artificial Faunus army within them. Besides the current souls inhabiting them have a tiny piece of artificial soul as well. That within five years, he'll have legions of artifact faunus matching his grim reaper legions at the moment.
The best part along with everyone one of these faunus, and his powerful desecrated monster undead hybrids. Much like the natural-born children here and like the natives around. Have the guaranteed chance of using aura to their arsenal and protection with only his monster undead hybrid faunus. Much like the children born yesterday have a chance to unlock a semblance much like he can.
Hajime (Truly I wonder how far will I go to become the worst of the worst or scum of the earth) honestly for the first time feard himself a bit looking towards his guard. Wondering for the first time being around these creations of his he'll actually break his oath to his fiances
Hajime (...Maybe shouldn't have let my imagination and romance for things run wild with these formed corpses) He promised himself the next time he has the chance to let Manly Roamce to artifacts or try to create a Gundam again. He'll be sure to fight the urge to do so even if it's a futile endeavor on his part to go against his nature.
Outskirst of Kuo Kuna, Boarding Airship for Kingdom of Vacuo, Dec 5th, 10 am 94 A.G.W Multi pov
Hajime "Guess this is goodbye for now huh?" He merely says to his stepfather and everyone from the family that allowed him to stay within their home. As well as Seeing Sienna and Yuma off to the side having said goodbye to them earlier before Ghira and the others came.
Ghira "Seems to be the case since we've already stalled you long enough as is. Or rather your little sister has," he says a bit amused while comforting his wife a bit who's trying to hold her tears. Unlike his little daughter who refuses to let go of Hajime's coat
Blake "No I'm going with you!" she cried out it while tears never stopped falling from her eyes. As she'd clutched onto her older brother's coat hoping he'd take her with him or make him not leave her
Kail "Make sure to call us once you land okay? Else you'll be in a rude awaking when you get back mister," she said to him honestly while having to wipe the tears threating to fall from her eyes as she hugged him
Hajime "I'm sure that's something I'd like to avoid at all cost. In any case, Blake you know I can't take you with me. You have to take care of Mama and Papa for the both of us yeah? Or are you going to break our pinky promise to each other?" he says with a slight smile having detached himself from his stepmother's oddly strong hug. To crouch down to Blake's level while patting her head a bit trying to cheer her up a bit
Blake "N... no *Sniffle* I don't want to do that...promise me you'll come back?" she'd finally let go of his coat while looking towards him with teary eyes and grabbing his hand on her head.
Hajime "That's something I can easily do without having to promise you that. I'll be sure to bring some presents with me as well okay?"
Blake merely shakes her head in approval before letting herself be picked up by Kali as they step back. Let Ghira step forward placing a hand on his right shoulder before speaking up
Ghira "Do know if it gets difficult you know you can come back to us okay?"
Hajime "I know old man, though I have said it a lot of times. But am grateful for what you and your family have done for me as well letting me stay with you,"
Ghira "I wonder when you're going to drop that stubbornness of yours and accept your part of the family now. Instead of a stranger we met many months back?" he says a bit amused yet slightly chuckling. And yet had warm eyes looking towards him, with Hajime could only scratch his cheeks a bit looking slightly embarrassed.
Hajime "But I haven't been like though for a good few months now old man. I just kind of don't feel right in calling you father nor Kali mother you know? Ain't even related to you guys,"
Ghira "You know Hajime, even I could get mad you stupid son of mine. You should know what decides or makes a family isn't about having my nor Kali's blood flowing in your veins,"
Hajime (...You guys are just stupid idiots you know that for loving someone like me as a Son) he thought in his mind warmly yet felt just a tad crack in his heart knowing what was going to pass.
Hajime "I guess...in any case have to go now...father...yeah just doesn't feel right saying such thing. I feel all wired all over haha...I'll call you guys once I land okay?" he laughed a bit embassingly while rubbing the back of his while he had slight flush on his face.
In turn, Sienna and Yuma laughed a bit at him for being embarrassed by such a thing. While Kali wanted to let her tears drop finally felt warmth hearing Hajime finally call her husband father.
In turn, accepts them as his family, well Ghira merely lets out a slight chuckle yet also wants to cry a bit hearing the young lad. whose but a son for him finally calls him father. But he knows it's just baby steps seeing the young man lost all those months ago. He had a closed-off aura around him and a closed heart afraid to let anyone in. Look so embarrassed and wants to run anywhere but here having to call him something other than old man or just his name.
Ghira "I bet it does son, call us when you land you hear?"
Hajime "Yeah I'll do so old man, bye for now...mother...little sister...yeah no can't do it," he says more embarrassed before picking up his bag and running straight towards the Airship
Kali "That boy..." she says with a bit of chuckle yet very touched by being called mother by him
Blake "Bye Big brother," she waved goodbye to him while feeling immense joy having stopped her tears at being called little sister by him. Seeing him wave goodbye to them as his airship begins to take off. Before it finally leaves, leaving them behind knowing he'll likely do great things in the future
Continent of Sanus, Kingdom of Vacuo, Captial City Vacuo, On route to Shade Acadamy, Dec 6th, 7 pm 94 A.G.W Multi pov
Sanus wasn't all that different from where he'd stayed a little over the past nine months. Giving him slight familiarity but the mood around this place was less inviting or rather a bit more hostile to everything and everyone. It seems the flight over the ocean to here would be the only cheerful mood while on this continent it seemed. If it was like this all around. Certainly was impressed by the size of this place including the protective walls around the city. With his destination being the very top of this capital city.
Hell, he didn't see any sort of local police department but seemed to be students or professional hunters and huntresses. Doing the round and keeping some sort of order here as flights of airships flew overhead. This felt more of an over-glorified maximum security prison if he was honest. Even if this place was likely the only source of civilization for hundreds of miles. Something he'll need to check later, but made sense a vast imposing desert with infested grim surrounded the massive city.
That on the way it looked they were always in constant battle with grimm trying to break in. With seeming it looked like they must have done it in the past multiple times. But since this city was still standing then it must mean the people of this city and those in charge must be doing something right. Making it the mood of this place and likely content made sense.
But he was certain this was likely one of the major holdouts and be a pain in the ass to take down if that's the case. He was certain no weak-willed or nativity was allowed to thrive here since it had no place. He'd doubted even goodwill was a thing around here with the only thing you could trust was yourself. And perhaps the friends or comrades you made over the years.
Not that he couldn't overrun this place or just wipe it off the face of the map. But from his point of view as he's walking alongside his fellow student crowd to Shade Academy. Being escorted by three teams of senior students and Professor Hunter who seem to know a thing or two around here. As well as having some shady connection, or so it seemed to everyone here but not him.
Especially the subtle smirks of other residents and bit malicious smirks from their supposed escorts. But that didn't matter to him as he was ready for what was to come. What he saw instead was an exploited gold mine. In perhaps turning a potential massive stronghold for his enemies into working for him or being allied to him.
But can't say for certain but he suspected it was there as these faunas likely didn't care for humanity. Perhaps even held disdain because the place they live in is hell on earth compared to. Where human nations lived and likely held a grudge on how shafted and unfair hand they were dealt at the end of the Great War. Dare he say back in Kuna was far better compared to here despite the technological gap
Hell on the flight over the walls and likely two miles behind it looked heavily fortified and militarized from the defenses and personnel he'd seen. As well as slight skirmishes they saw flying over watching a few air strikes being conducted. With the rest of the city reaching Shade it seems that dominates the city skyline. Looks rather maze-like, composed primarily of improvised structures and crude architecture. Though he was sure they were spots scattered through the city that didn't look like this.
Even so, he readied himself to summon out Donner & Schlag as their group soon reached an open area surrounded by all sides. That was oddly devoid of faunus yet he'd sensed many with hostile intentions. Hiding within the buildings ready to unleash as he and everyone else soon saw their seniors vanish while laughing. Leaving just the professional Hunter who had a very amused yet cold smile looking down at all of them.
Random Dog Faunus #3421 "Um where did the other go sir?" one of their group asked a bit warry and honestly
Vacuo/Sanus Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "Oh your seniors just went to their own thing. It's thier day off as it were they were only here simply because they needed the extra cash,"
Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "Now then young and inexperienced wannabes. In this city of ours, there is an unspoken rule but one everyone here follows to a T,"
Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "If you can Survive here, then you are most welcome by everyone here. As weakness here is a death sentence for you or anyone else around you," he said with a cold yet amused tone.
As all soon saw hundreds of unknown armed faunus. Taking aim at them or pouring out from the buildings to meet them all slight dread and relaxation set in on everyone around.
Random Deer Faunus #321 "Hey, Hey, HEY! What the hell is this set up!"
Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "If you really have to ask that it think such things then you already a lost cuz in my mind. As well as those surrounding you at the moment,"
Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "In any case, your initiation to enter Shade Academy has begun, since I'm sure you saw it on the way in. You know the direction to head towards,"
Faunus Bull Hunter #2901 "At the entrance within three days from now, professors from the Shade will be awaiting your arrival. And if you aren't there then you are either dead or fail. Good luck~," he says that last part with an amused smirk as he too vanishes from sight.
And within a second later war cries and sounds of gunfire rang out as Hajime soon detached himself from the group. But not before smacking a few Faunuses through some buildings. That unknowingly causes them to dismantle and fall. He merely looked back hearing the screams and shouts over the sounds of fighting and gunfire
Hajime (What a nice city) merely thought as he began to head towards Shade knowing he'd be at the entrance within the hour at the slowest.
