0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The following days had been nothing but terribly annoying for not only Thanatos but his clone as well. Thanks to Ruby who had revealed to both her teammates and JNPR that he had a girlfriend, he had been bothered none stop by a lot of students… directly or not.
It was not the first time he was the subject of gossip but he had not missed it one bit ! He knew who was the true culprit of the rumors and planned to take revenge on her as soon as possible. Ruby, he could forgive being young and innocent but her sister ?
Heck NO !
Many girls in Beacon had been heartbroken by the news and it was during that moment that he discovered the existence of a Club of Fangirls ! Back in his home Universe, he had fan-girls as well (Ginny Weasley as the most obvious one) and he grew wary of them.
However, it became worse when he also learned of the bet they made ! Yang had apparently hid the fact his girlfriend was not Human but a Faunus and so many were thinking that he was with Pyrrha !
A shiver passed through his body as he remembered the TALK he had with Blanche when she heard about this. Of course, in the end, everything went back to normal… at least in Beacon.
In the Underworld, it was another story…
After Amber's arrival, Thanatos tried to say it wasn't true and all but she wasn't buying it so in the end, he had no choice but to reveal that he INDEED had a girlfriend. Needless to say that the Fall Maiden was OVERJOYED for him while asking him all kind of question about the other girl who managed to do the impossible…
Taming Death…
It was the most embarrassing moment of his existence as Amber had now another reason to tease him none stop. Of course, he knew the perfect way to make her stop : by threatening her forbidden entrance to the Library. Amber quickly begged him to not do it while promising to not tease him again… or at least not too much.
After that, other things happened : the arrival of James Ironwood and his army on Beacon's ground. When Harry saw them, he sent a psychic message to Thanatos who in turn, went to see Salem to tell her the news.
The Queen of Grimm had been pleased once he finished his report and called Arthur and Tyrian so they could now resume their research for the remaining Relic now that the Good General wasn't there to bother them.
Apart of that, Weiss grieved for her dead father once the news of his death reached her. Even Blake offered her her condolences despite her not being a fan of Jacques Schnee. Weiss's mother, Willow, had then shocked her daughter by taking back the rein of the company.
The change was both surprising and controverted. Why ? Because the moment she took charge, Willow Schnee changed the Company's policy about their Faunus Workers : in fact, they were no more treated as dirt but as normal people with respectable pays and everything.
Jacques' business partners were all outraged by the change and severed all ties with the actual Schnee Dust Company. Willow then did something unbelievable : she used the media to openly apologize to every Faunus, especially those who previously worked in the Mines , for their treatment under her husband's tyranny.
Many people had been taken aback by the action especially Faunus-kind as they didn't expected a SCHNEE to do such thing…
Weiss had been very shocked by her mother's actions but she felt proud as now, thanks to Willow, things might be better for the Schnee and their reputation will not be tainted anymore. Harry/Thanatos congratulated himself for that as it was mostly thanks to him and the curse he implanted in the former CEO of the SDC.
However, thanks to Salem, he learned that a member of the White Fang, Adam Taurus, was creating his own White Fang ! Apparently, the Bull Faunus didn't believed in Willow's words and decided to go against his leader's wishes (Sienna Khan).
Look like Harry will have to teach this guy a lesson someday…
Speaking of Sienna Khan, the Tiger Faunus had apparently ordered all her followers to stop their attacks or their activities for the time being, wanting to see if Willow's words were true or not. Sadly, some of her followers (Adam included) left the White Fang to go elsewhere… probably to join Adam in his crusade against Humanity.
As if it wasn't enough, Harry accidentally met two familiar faces at Beacon one day : Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black. Of course, he had acted friendly toward them, not revealing his true identity. Why ? Because he didn't want to. Beside, he wanted to wait for a little bit before showing them who he was…
Yes he was a sadistic bastard and proud of it !
However, he did warned Amber than two out of her three attackers were here and so she went to tell Ozpin who allowed her to stop her classes for a while… but was still instructed to stay at Beacon for safety. Amber had, of course, protested but internally, it gave her more time to see a certain someone in the Underworld.
Anyway, his relationship with Blanche grew a bit more but it was REALLY difficult to see each other without revealing themselves. Sure Team RWBY (minus Ruby) and JNPR knew but they didn't know how Blanche looked like ! Which was good… as long as Ruby hadn't described her to them.
But so far, things were good… mainly because Team RWBY had been acting strange recently and when he asked them what they planned… they would simply tell him that everything was good and that he didn't have to be concerned for them.
Now that was strange… He wanted to keep an eye on them but Blanche told him that they could take care of themselves while commenting that it was cute of him to be so concerned for them.
Sadly, both of them had been proven wrong when Team RWBY got themselves into another fight with Roman Torchwick ! Of course, he reprimanded them harshly for their behaviors once he heard about this and the four girls had looked ashamed as he reprimanded them… Ruby seemed ready to cry.
His last words had truly shocked them "I don't think I can trust you anymore..."
Once he said that he left the area, leaving behind a stunned group of girls. For the following days, he had not tried ONCE to speak to any of them… going as far as to dodge them every time they tried to talk to him.
He was angry at them for being so reckless but then again, it was a bit hypocritical of him seeing how similar he was back when he was human.
Which bring us back to present…
Harry was sitting on the stage, watching as Pyrrha Nikos literally destroyed every members of Team CDRL on her own. They were all in Dueling Class as our hero was sitting as far away from Team RWBY as possible… which seemed to pain them. Not too far from him, were the familiar figures of Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black who were also watching the fight with either interest or not. In the same room stood Glynda's assistant, Blanche Moonflower.
Many boys were drooling at her because of how gorgeous she looked and Ruby had shot Harry a surprised glance which he responded by sending her a pleading look which seemed to scream 'Please don't tell anyone !'. Thankfully, the younger girl nodded at him and he sighed in relief.
During Pyrrha's match, Blanche had shot him a secretive look and he sent her a wink which caused her to grin slightly.
"And that's the match !" Glynda Goodwitch said loudly as she stood behind the leader of Team CDRL,Cardin Winchester, who was clutching his ribs in pain.
"Lucky shot..." the guy grumbled softly before groaning in pain and collapsing.
Him and his group were still bullying people but they did it when Harry wasn't in the same room. They never forgot what he almost did last night ad shivered each time they thought about the expression of sadistic pleasure he arbored that day.
"Well done, Miss Nikos ! You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament !" the stern blond professor said to the Invincible Girl who smiled back at her in response, saying
"Thank you, professor !"
Tapping on her scroll, Glynda then looked around at every students present
"Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match..."
Harry raised an eyebrow of surprise when no one raised their hands and wondered what was going on today.
"Any volunteers ?"
No answer from the students present. Blanche's eyes scanned the room before she whispered something into the teacher's ears. The blond Professor nodded in understanding before looking back at the assistance.
"Ms. Belladonna ?" Glynda called out as her green eyes landed on Blake who slammed her book shut before staring wide-eyed at her.
"You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you -" the teacher began to say when someone from the assistance interrupted her.
"I'll do it !"
It was Mercury's voice.
"Mercury, is it?"Glynda asked him with a slight frown and after receiving a nod from the young man, she went on
"Very well, let's find you an opponent..."
"Actually, I wanna fight... her !" Mercury said as he pointed at a certain redhead from Team JNPR.
"Me ?" Pyrrha inquired with surprise while pointing at herself.
Sadly for the guy, Glynda's face turned stern as she opened her mouth to retort "I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished the match. I recommend you choose another partner !"
Pyrrha opened her mouth to say something but someone else beat her to it
"I will go !"
Everyone turned their heads to stare at the neutral face of Harry James Potter whose emerald green eyes were locked on Mercury's form. Blanche couldn't help the grin from appearing on her face.
"While I congratulate you for volunteering Mr. Potter, I have to ask why ?" Glynda asked him with slight curiosity.
"Well two reasons : the first because I have a bit moody lately and I need something to punch o-I mean a way to cool down a bit ! Sorry slip of the tongue there !" Harry began to say with this famous cheeky grin of his.
Glynda's left eye twitched in slight amusement and annoyance while snickers could be heard from the crowds and even some snorts. The White Wolf Faunus snorted in amusement as her lover's words while giggling softly at the teacher's expression which caused Glynda to shoot her a brief glare.
Team RWBY, however, while amused, tensed a bit at the words 'moody' as they knew it was partially their faults. Emerald, her, looked at our hero with a smirk of amusement as Mercury chuckled beside her.
"And the second reason ?" Jaune asked him from his seat with a grin.
"I have been ITCHING for a fight since my last little spar with Pyrrha !" Harry replied cheekily and with a massive grin on his face.
"You fought her only two days ago pal !" Jaune said back with a raisebrow.
"Exactly ! Two long and terrible days without my favorite sparring partner ! Its a torture !" Harry responded in a whining-like tone.
His response caused many to laugh loudly with humor while Glynda couldn't help herself from rolling her eyes in amusement.
Everyone knew that from time to time, Harry and Pyrrha would spar with one another. Sure it was not often but still they both enjoyed it.
Even if it was always Harry who won…
Speaking of Pyrrha, she was smiling brightly by his words, touched by his compliments. Yang, her, was feeling jealous as she didn't get the chance to fight against him. Blanche for her part, was looking at Harry with a raisebrow and he quickly sent her a secretive blowing kiss that caused her to smile slightly.
Thankfully, no one noticed… apart of Ruby but she already knew so…
Beside, it would be the first time his girlfriend would see him fight !
"Very well Mr. Potter… May the both of you enter the arena ?" Glynda asked the duo as her face became serious again.
Harry sent a dangerous smirk toward Mercury who, as he made his way into the arena, suddenly felt like he was going to die… somehow.
"Emerald ?" Ruby called out to the green haired girl
"Yes ?"
"My condolences for your friend..." the younger girl whispered with sympathy before looking back at the two fighters as they faced one another.
"Why ?" Emerald asked her curiously as she looked back and forth between the fighters and Ruby.
"You will see..." was the girl's answer, her silver eyes not leaving Harry and Mercury.
In the arena, our hero had a massive grin on his face and Mercury didn't know why but he felt like he had seen this expression before but he didn't where and when.
"Are you both ready ?" Glynda asked the two sternly as she backed away.
"Yes !" they both responded while looking at one another with anticipation.
Harry, however, was not pulling out his weapons nor was he unleashing his 'Semblance'. He knew about Mercury's boots being in fact weapons but saw them as no real threat to him.
"BEGIN !"
Those words broke his little trance and he saw Mercury making a rush toward him but he didn't move from his place. The young man's fist was inches away from his face when he moved sideway and it went past him. Without wasting time, he delivered a strong kick that sent Mercury on the ground.
As the guy slowly went back on his feet, our hero couldn't retain himself from saying.
"Tut tut tut pitiful...the way you rush at me strongly reminds me of a certain blond..." Harry commented while shooting a sideway glance toward the stage where was sitting a blond brawler we all know and love.
"HEY !" Yang cried out in indignation as everyone laughed as it was indeed true. Even Glynda shook her head in amusement while her assistant snickered softly under her breath. Heck, even Emerald had a hand on her mouth, hiding her amusement.
Mercury growled at the guy before lunging forward with a battle cry while unleashing a barrage of strikes and blows. Harry smirked as he putted his hands behind his back before lazily dodged every single strikes his opponent was sending him… much to the latter's anger.
"At this rate I'm going to sleep buddy..." Our hero said nonchalantly as he dodged a blow aimed at his head.
He even went as far as putting a hand in front of his mouth while faking to YAWN !
Mercury's eyes narrowed in anger as he glared at his opponent before redoubling his efforts with a loud cry of fury. Harry smirked as he kept dodging his attacks… before suddenly punching the guy in the guts.
Mercury grunted in pain as he backed away from his opponent, holding his stomach with his right hand. Him, along with the other students (and the teachers) looked at the guy's aura… only to gasp in shock.
This single punch literally a quarter of Mercury's aura !
Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren, Nora along with Team RWBY were not really surprised by this as they knew Harry was pretty strong and a skilled fighter. He had proven it during his first fight with the redhead of Team JNPR but they never expected his PUNCH to be like this !
Using the opportunity of his enemy distracted Harry made a full scale assault on Mercury. With a war cry, he punched his opponent in the face on the right side before delivering a quick punch to the face then an uppercut.
Mercury grunted in pain but before he could do anything, his face was punched from the left followed by another. Harry then punched him in his chest then his face again before delivering another one to his stomach. Finally, our hero threw a punch in Mercury's face again.
Each punch Harry delivered at his opponent caused Mercury to grunt or gasp in pain. The young Black, however, recovered from the last blow and shook his head to get rid of the dizziness his enemy's last blow caused. Sadly for him, when he raised his head to look at his opponent, the last thing he saw before he was sent flying was Harry coming straight at him with another punch and a battle cry.
The members of Team RWBY couldn't believe how merciless Harry was being right now. They knew he was angry at them but damn it, they never thought he would be that vicious !
Back in the arena, the young Black groaned in pain as he slowly lifted the top of his exhausted and bruised body from the ground. However, he quickly paled when he saw his opponent charging him with a raised fist !
"I GIVE UP !" Mercury cried out loudly in fear and pain, no wanting to be punched again.
Harry's fist stopped inches away from his face after those words reached our hero's ears. The young man with emerald green eyes stood there, looking at his opponent with an emotionless expression on his face before screaming… in frustration
The scream caused many to flinch in slight fear… even Mercury.
"You're ruining this for me !" Harry snarled in anger which caused many to tense, even Glynda.
"I enter this arena hoping for a FIGHT ! But instead, I end up with a 'boy' who has no more brain that Yang !"
"HEY !" The blond brawler cried out in indignation and outrage but was ignored by our hero who was still ranting.
"Where is the eagerness you had earlier ? Did you throw it in a bin or something ?" Harry asked Mercury whose face was slowly turning from fear to anger.
"Mr. Potter that's enough !" Glynda sternly said to our hero from her place while Blanche looked at him with some worry. She was the only one who knew about the tension between him and Team RWBY.
Harry turned his head to look at the Blond Professor, saying nothing. He opened his mouth to say something but then his eyes narrowed. As fast as wind, his right hand shot out and grabbed a fist aimed at his head, courtesy of Mercury Black who attacked him from behind.
Before the young Black could say something, Harry quickly punched him in the jaws, knocking him on the ground.
"Coward ! Attack me from behind !" our hero sneered in disgust as he stared at Mercury.
The young Black in question snarled at him before lunging again at him, ready to punch despite his Aura being in the red. However, he was barely a feet or two away from Harry that he felt it.
FEAR
Harry's eyes were now glowing like living fires and his body was covered by a darkish aura-like fire. The students all flinched at this and both Team RWBY and Team JNPR knew what was happening : Harry was using his Semblance !
Emerald was as pale as a ghost as she stared at Mercury's opponent with wide eyes of terror while the young Black in question was staring at Harry with horror mixed with pure fright. Glynda, her, was sweating profusely while Blanche was looking at Harry with surprise, shock, fear and curiosity.
He had told her about his Semblance and what happen when he uses it but it was the first time she actually felt it ! Her instinct was SCREAMING at her to run as fast as possible. But her heart was telling her to stay. Shaking her head, the White Wolf Faunus turned her head to look back at Harry who was now standing above Mercury's shaking form as the guy was literally shivering in fear.
Gathering all her courage, Blanche approached the two before putting a hand on Harry's shoulder. At the touch, the young man's head sharply turned toward her and emerald green eyes locked with yellow eyes as they looked at one another.
"That's enough now Harry… Calm down…" she whispered softly as she used her own Semblance.
What was her Semblance you may wonder ?
Well, Blanche's Semblance was called 'Warmth' because she could calm others, were they beasts or not, pretty easily. With her Semblance, she can also warm both herself and others when the air becomes cold.
Harry's stern and cold expression slowly melted as Blanche's warmth wrapped around him like a blanket and he sighed deeply in appeasement. He shot her a warm smile which she returned wholeheartedly before Harry looked back at Mercury with a neutral expression on his face.
The young Black was still shivering in fright and tensed when Harry's emerald eyes landed on him again. His face paled even more when he saw the guy smirking toothily
"How about we continu-" Harry began to say teasingly but was interrupted by Mercury who instantly cried out
"I YIELD ! PLEASE I YIELD !"
"Spoilsport !" Harry pouted childishly which caused many to snicker in amusement with among them, his own girlfriend who shot him an amused glance from the corner of her yellow eyes.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER IS THE VICTOR OF THE MATCH !" Glynda's 'warm' voice echoed in the air barely a second or two later.
Then the blond Professor looked at Harry before adding sternly "Mr. Potter, I think a little detention might be appropriate after your little display..."
"As you wish Professor~"Harry replied cheekily and a small bow at the Professor whose left eye twitched slightly at his antics while snickers could be heard from the students.
"I will take care of him Professor… You still have a lot of paperwork to do after all..." Blanche stepped in with a professional tone.
Glynda glanced at her once she first started speaking but then nodded in acceptance "Very well… Mr. Potter is yours Ms. Moonflower..."
Harry's grin widened a bit at those words as internally he was screaming a loud "YES !"
Blanche, her, glanced at him with amusement clear both on her face and in her eyes. She had a particular idea of what to do during his detention…
"That is all for today ! And remember, the dance is this weekend. But you all have your first mission on Monday ! I will not accept any excuses !" Glynda said loudly to every single student present in the room before dismissing them once she finished.
As the students started to leave, Harry secretly sent a blowing kiss to Blanche who returned it while making sure to not be seen by Glynda… who would surely tear her one for it. As our hero passed near Ruby, the younger girl grabbed his arm
"Harry..."
"Yes ?" he asked her coldly.
Ruby flinched at the tone but then gathered all her courage to say "Me and the girls want to talk to you… If you don't mind..."
Harry merely stared at her with an emotionless expression on his face.
"It concerns Roman Torchwick..." the leader of Team RWBY whispered to the guy while eying the area to be sure to not be overheard.
"Very well… I will come..." Harry replied after a moment of silence.
"Thank you ! See you later !" Ruby retorted with happiness before disappearing in a could of rose petals.
Our hero couldn't help but chuckling in amusement before making his way to the Library : he still had some homeworks to do before going to detention.
However, at the same time, Mercury was being carried away by Emerald.
"Don't this guy remind you of someone ?" the latter asked the former once they were out of earshot.
"Yes it does… but who ?" Mercury asked her back with a groan.
This guy sure knew how to punch !
"Let's bring you to the infirmary for now ! We will investigate later !" Emerald declared to her comrade who merely nodded as the only thing he wanted was to not feel pain anymore.
(To be continue…)
