"It's really a slow day today," blinked Jaune as he sat in the office alone.

The incident had just happened yesterday, to which he still couldn't believe he actually killed his first Grimm. Though he had been scolded severely for it, it still felt good. The trip, however, showed him just how unprepared he truly was to becoming a Huntsman, despite all his training and reading. Still, that wasn't going to deter him. He would just have to put more effort into it, and with Pyrrha so helpfully training him, he was sure he could do it.

Jaune hummed as he shifted a few files away, balancing out his budget. He was making sure that the checks for Ren and Velvet wouldn't bounce, making sure the orders he made was coming, etc. Two patients had canceled, and another didn't show, allowing Jaune some valuable time to organize files that he usually would do at night.

The door rang, allowing Jaune to know he had someone coming in.

"Hi, and welcome to Elysium Oasis," smiled Jaune as he greeted the customer.

"This room feels... so much bigger now," admitted Pyrrha as she looked around their room. With Oreo now gone, the extra bed was moved into storage, leaving a lot more room for Nora to demand to put a kitchen for exclusive pancake mixing.

"Indeed," nodded Ren before turning to Nora, telling her that he could make it at Beacon's kitchens and that having one in the room was a disaster waiting to happen. He preferred it empty, as a place where one could meditate if needed.

"Perhaps we can put some form of entertainment in the empty space?" suggested Pyrrha, not really knowing what to do with the extra space. Soon, they heard a knock on the door, and Pyrrha quickly opened it to see team RWBY, Sky, and Dove.

"Yo, how's it feel to be rid of that creep?" asked Yang bluntly.

"Yang!" scolded Weiss and Ruby.

"What? It's the truth," defended Yang.

"Perhaps, but it's not something you have to be so frank about it," said Blake blandly.

"I admit, it feels wonderful not having to look over my shoulder constantly anymore," admitted Pyrrha with an embarrassed cough, "No more worrying about whether or not I locked my underwear cabinet."

"Damn, that bad?" asked Sky, "At most, the only worst thing about having Cardin as a roommate was that he snores and complains about stuff too much. For the most part, he was actually very meticulous about cleaning. Me and Dove are going to be the ones cleaning now, and this jerk has a tendency to leave his socks on the couch." Sky playfully pointed at Dove, who huffed at the accusation, but a smile on his face told them all he took it with a good attitude.

"So did you get punished?" asked Ruby.

"Yes, and this will be my first detention ever," blushed Pyrrha, "I hope it doesn't affect my future too much."

"Ah, don't be so glum about it," laughed Yang, "I got into a buncha trouble before, and I'm still here and just fine!"

"Sadly, I'm expecting detention in the future while being on this team," drolled Weiss, causing Ruby and Yang to yell out in complaint.

"So what do you guys have to do?" asked Dove, "Attend detention with Professor Port and Oobleck?"

"We all have to write essays about our mistakes," replied Ren, "Pyrrha and Nora both have detentions, though Nora has it the worst."

"Oh, but at least we get to go hang out with Jaune tomorrow!" sang Nora.

"Wait, what? How? It's still a school day?" exclaimed team RWBY.

"What Nora means to say is that we're serving some of our detention with Jaune," Pyrrha quickly explained, "Because of the field trip, he has to purchase a lot of supplies that he was supposed to split in between two days. In short, we're to be his luggage carriers for the trip."

"Oh yeah, we got a message from our Scrolls saying that our detention would be to help Jaune," nodded Sky, "Does he have a lot of stuff to buy?"

"You two are most likely going to be helping him move stuff in," said Pyrrha, "He's expected a large order to be delivered on Thursday."

"Sweet, so we get to skip class?" asked Sky enthusiastically.

Dove snorted, "Of course not. The notice said that we'd have to make up the class on Saturday."

Sky went from excited to depressed at that one sentence, causing the girls to giggle at his sudden change.

"I should probably come with you all," suggested Ren, "I know more or less where Jaune keeps his supplies stored."

"Shall team RWBY help out?" asked Ruby, "We can so make it a team activity!"

"Yea!" cheered Yang, with Blake also joining with a silent fist raise.

"As nice as that sounds," said a voice, causing them all to freeze, "I'm afraid I can't allow that."

They all slowly turned around to see Glynda standing there with her crop out, lightly tapping her other hand.

"I cannot condone another activity that would allow students to miss their academics," continued Glynda, "Unless you're willing to make it up on Saturday?"

Team RWBY shook their heads in reply, allowing Glynda to continue on, "And Mr. Ren, unfortunately, you work on the weekends. I can't allow that either, as you would have no way to make up the class. I wouldn't want you to miss on your work, either."

Ren pondered and nodded about her assessment. Even if Jaune allowed him to miss a workday, which he suspected Jaune would easily let him, it was unprofessional of him to do so. So how to solve this dilemma...

"Hey, doesn't Velvet work there too?" piped in Yang.

Ren's eyes widened in remembrance before whipping out his Scroll, quickly scrolling down the scroll numbers before pulling up Velvet's number. He had met her a few times during his time at the library after Jaune had told him about the new hire. Ren enjoyed talking with her every now and then when he met her in the library, and being the older student, she helped him out on a few subjects, giving him some advice on where to find the most peaceful spot at Beacon. As the Scroll was ringing, Ren could feel Nora's eyes glued to the back of his head.

"Why do you have another girl's number?" glowered Nora.

"She's a coworker," answered Ren swiftly before the Scroll tone stopped.

"Hi Ren, what's up?" asked Velvet through the Scroll speaker.

"Hello Velvet," said Ren calmly with Nora now clutching on his side, "Did you have anything planned for tomorrow?"

"...N-n-no, why?" stuttered Velvet slightly. In the background, Ren could hear laughter.

"Jaune needs some help tomorrow with some movers. I assume that you've already heard about what happened to my team?"

"Only rumors. Right now, the gossip grapevine is going wild with different stories," said Velvet.

"One of my personal favorites is that you got rid of Oreo from your team because he was disrupting your harem!" shouted Coco from the background.

Ren slightly blushed before just handing the Scroll to Glynda.

"Miss Scarletina, this is Professor Goodwitch, and Miss Adel, that is one rumor I hope will not be spreading anytime soon," said Glynda.

Velvet yelped into the phone while the sound of a chair falling backward into the ground, followed by the sound of a body hitting the floor and a head hitting something hard, followed by cursing.

"Anyways, your employer has several packages coming to the clinic, and yet he also has to go shopping for other supplies due to an unexpected... trip. I was hoping that you would be willing to stay at his place and help him out a bit. Two other students will be helping move all the packages Mr. Arc is expecting, but they won't know where to place. Would you be able to help organize them? I will excuse your absence for tomorrow if you can."

"Oh, of course!" answered Velvet, nodding her head, "I would be happy to assist him!"

"Excellent," smiled Glynda, "That is all Miss Scarletina. Oh, and Miss Adel, if you can hear this, please prepare yourself for tomorrow. You have just volunteered to be my assistant for tomorrow's combat class."

"What will I be doing?" asked Coco in trepidation.

"Oh nothing terribly difficult," assured Glynda, "It was time to teach you what to do in a situation when you're faced with an overwhelming opponent without your usual weapon. I will be the former, and you, my assistant, will be the later."

"... I'M SO-*click* bzzzz..."

The call had been disconnected, so Glynda gave Ren's Scroll back to him.

"Rest well students, you all have a busy schedule tomorrow," advised Glynda as she left.

"... Now that I think of it, having detention with Professor Port and Oobleck together doesn't sound as terrible now," gulped Dove, with Sky nodding.

Everyone seemed to agree... except Nora.

"Oooh, I can't wait to see what it's like!" grinned Nora, "I have her for a month! I'm so scared and excited!"

Jaune closed the door as the final customer left, taking a deep breath. What had been a slow but good day had turned into a rather …. shitty night. First off was the patient had tried to haggle the prices for an hour massage with oil. The patient hadn't tried to get it 10 Lien lower or something but wanted it 80% off. Such a price wouldn't even cover the cost of the brand that she wanted to use. Jaune was tempted to just yell at the patient to leave but patiently tried to explain the whole cost.

He later came to regret it when the patient 'promised' to pay the amount and had the massage while yakking on about her new house and how she was going to furnish it. When it came time to pay for it, she refused to pay more than 20% of the total once more. The patient went off ranting how 'lucky' he was able to touch her body, and that he should be paying to be able to touch her.

The customer then threw 20 Lien into Jaune's face while rushing out of the door, yelling how his massage wasn't even that good.

Jaune sighed as he collected the Lien, writing a note on how the customer skimped out on an 85 Lien massage and blacklisting her.

"Just another day," sighed Jaune, at least getting something out of this. Why he had been so patient and calm to this customer was beyond him, but he figured it was something a Huntsman should have, so he didn't try to change it.

He walked up the stairs to his apartment, turning on the tv while preparing his dinner. While he was doing so, all he could hear was the sound of his television playing a program while he cooked.

"Huh, kinda lonely in here," mused Jaune to himself out loud.

After living with seven sister siblings and his parents, he thought he would've loved the silence that was upon him. Now, however, it was slightly unnerving to him. He supposed he was feeling a little homesick. Perhaps a trip back home to visit his family... Jaune shook his head at that. He had come out here to prove himself, and he would do so. He would just have to bear with it for now. Plus, it's not like he didn't get company every now and then.

"Better get my wallet ready for tomorrow's shopping trip," yawned Jaune as he checked his wallet, making sure his credit card was in there. With the number of items he was purchasing, using a credit card would just be easier. Not to mention he would at least get a 3% LienBack on purchases.

"Well there's a surprise," blinked Jaune as he stepped out of his clinic early in the morning just to see Pyrrha, Nora, Sky, Dove, and Velvet all waiting for him already, wearing civilian clothing.

"We all decided that it would be better if we arrived early so we could use the full day," explained Pyrrha, who was wearing a hat, glasses, and a scarf for some reason. Jaune just shrugged it off, thinking she felt cold. Her hair was also tied up in a ponytail and wasn't wearing her usual tiara. All in all, it looked like she was going for a completely different look. Again, Jaune didn't really think much of it.

"I'll be helping out with the clinic," explained Velvet, "I got permission to help organize with the orders that'll be coming in."

Jaune blinked before realizing that if he had left Sky and Dove alone in his clinic, they would have had no idea where to even begin stocking. He was thankful that Velvet had decided to voluntarily come to help out and promised to pay her for the extra hours, to which she refused.

"You three go on and get your shopping done," said Velvet, gently pushing Jaune towards Pyrrha and Nora, "I'll take care of here."

"Yea, let's go!" cheered Nora, "To the pancake store!"

"Nora, no," said Pyrrha sternly, "We're here to help Jaune, not to fool around. If Professor Goodwitch found out, then you would get into big trouble. Remember what Headmaster Ozpin said."

Nora blinked, took a deep breath, and almost fell down on all fours in depression.

"It's alright, perhaps another day," comforted Pyrrha, "Well, where to first?"

"First to the office supply store," said Jaune, whipping out his Scroll with one hand and coupons in another, "Let's head off to Station Max!"

"That... is a lot of items," admitted Pyrrha as she was carried a basket full of purely office supplies.

"Eh, not too much," shrugged Jaune as he swiped his credit card into the system while making sure he wasn't going over his budget. Thanks to Ozpin's signature, he had saved quite a bit more than he thought, "Just the basics. Thankfully most of my system is by electronic, otherwise, I'd have to buy a lot of paper. We'll swing by my place to drop these off before getting an Ober to take us to PriceCo. I have a membership there, though I'm not sure the Headmaster's signature works there. Luckily, I can get both cleaning supplies and groceries there. Probably take Ober back too."

"Ober?" asked Pyrrha in confusion.

"A driving service," explained Jaune, "I don't exactly have a car to drive, and the warehouse is a bit downtown. Walking there would take me hours, and lugging all the stuff back would take even longer."

"Oooh, I've never been to PriceCo," said Nora excitedly, "Heard there was good stuff there, but Ren and I never went since they require you to have a membership to shop there and have to pay for it."

"Yea it's not really worth getting a membership if you don't shop there often," agreed Jaune, "But for today, since I'm restocking a lot of stuff, they have everything I'll need there."

"I've... never been to PriceCo," said Pyrrha with a slightly nervous tone.

It was true, as she had never had to shop for food. All her time was spent training, fighting, studying, or working. She rarely had free time before, something quite new to her when she started Beacon.

"Oh, there are a lot of choices," smiled Jaune, "Thankfully you two will be here to push a cart each."

"I bet I can push two... no three at a time!" bragged Nora suddenly.

"Let's just stick with one to each person and go from there," laughed Jaune nervously.

They quickly dropped off the office supplies back in the office just as the first of Jaune's orders had arrived.

"Package of body oils and other stuff for a Mr. Arc?" grunted the delivery man, holding out his Scroll.

"Yea, that's me," nodded Jaune as he dragged his finger across the Scroll to sign it.

"Here's your order," said the delivery man, pointing to several boxes in front of his clinic.

Dove and Sky walked towards them, and with no hesitation, lifted them up and started to carry them in.

"Velvet, in my office is the invoice for the first of my packages. Double check and make sure we got everything as ordered. If there's anything missing, just circle it for me," instructed Jaune, "When more orders come, just sign your name on the Scrolls."

"Ok boss!" saluted Velvet before hurrying inside to double check the order.

"Well, looks like our ride is here," said Jaune as he gestured to an oncoming car.

"Ober ride for a Jaune Arc plus two passengers?" asked the driver as she came to a stop.

"That's us," said Jaune, opening the car door for Nora and Pyrrha, "Let's go."

As Nora cheerfully jumped in the car, Pyrrha was slightly more hesitant to do so due to a stranger driving but got in anyway. Jaune took the last seat in the back and was soon off. The driver made some small talk with mainly Jaune when she glanced at her rearview mirror, focusing a bit more on Pyrrha now.

"Hey, you look familiar," commented the driver out of interest.

Pyrrha gulped and nervously moved around, shifting in her seat.

"Eh, she's a Huntress," replied Jaune carelessly, "A very strong one. She's been helping me understand a lot of stuff."

"Ah, I must've seen you around a Dust store then," nodded the driver before focusing back on the road.

Pyrrha breathed out a sigh of relief while adjusting her disguise, thankful the attention was off her now. Somehow, Jaune had managed to deflect attention off her with some well-placed words, and yet it didn't even seem like he planned for it. She could only hope it would keep going this way.

"Huh, that's a lot of boxes," blinked Sky as the next batch of shipments arrived.

"Got a bunch of massage spices here," said the delivery man, holding out her Scroll for Velvet to sign.

"Come on, we gotta be careful with this box," said Dove as he and Sky took the ends of the box, lifting it up carefully. On the box itself was a big "Fragile" label, instructing movers to be careful.

However, they failed to notice a smaller box on top of the big box they were carrying wasn't taped in, so when they went up the slight incline, the small box fell off.

Velvet, who had been busy counting to make sure the list matched the invoice, only noticed it too late and was about to shout when a hand shot over and caught the box.

"You boys need to be more careful," said Junior as he opened the box that had fallen, checking to see if anything inside had broken. Luckily, the box only contained bowls for Jaune to place his spice in, so there was no mixup.

Sky and Dove suddenly found their load a bit lighter when two other men in black tuxedos helped them carry the box in.

"Thank you," bowed Velvet, while Sky and Dove also voiced their apologies for not paying attention.

"No problem," waived off Junior, "So who are you three? His new employees? Last time I heard, Jaune had two."

"Ah, I'm one of them. My name is Velvet," as she introduced herself, bowing politely to Junior, "The other two are just helping out for the day. Are you looking for Jaune?"

"Well I'm not the one looking for him specifically, but yes," shrugged Junior, "Know where he is?"

"He left for PriceCo to buy some more supplies," replied Velvet, "Perhaps I can take a message for you?"

"Eh, no that'll be alright," said Junior, "It's more of my nieces wanting to find him. I'm sure they can find him if I tell them to head to PriceCo."

"Oh, okay," nodded Velvet, "But before you go..."

Suddenly, Velvet's hand shot forward, grabbing Junior in a tight grip and slightly twisting it, causing Junior to wince in pain.

"What do you want with him?" hissed Velvet.

'Why do I always have to deal with the crazy girls?' cried Junior inside his mind before coughing to clear his throat, "Nothing, really!"

"I know that you own a nightclub, and have some rather 'questionable' activities going around there," growled Velvet, "My friend Coco likes to go there sometimes, so I know more or less about you. I also know Jaune is a hardworking person who would never be seen at your place unless invited."

"Well, what if he does like to come to my nightclub by himself?" Junior hesitantly asked, only to have Velvet start twisting harder, "Yea, ok, stupid question. Look, my men and I are all Jaune's customers, and my nieces really like this place. You can say that I'm the landlord of this place. I swear to you, that this is one one of my jobs that I do. And any 'questionable' activities you heard, well everything I do is above the table, thank you very much."

"Really?" asked Velvet.

"Really, now can you let me go?" whined Junior.

"Oh, right, I'm so sorry!" apologized Velvet as she quickly let go.

"Damn, you got a grip," grumbled Junior, "What are you, a Huntress-in-training?"

"Actually, yes," smirked Velvet.

"... Well that explains a whole lot," blinked Junior, "You working part-time here for some extra Lien, eh? Well can't blame ya, rising costs thanks to our 'esteemed' councilmen, not to mention the Dust prices skyrocketing thanks to some of those raids."

Velvet frowned, agreeing with him. She had heard Coco cursing a storm as some of her custom job bullets had cost her more than she expected.

"Well, if Jaune has people like you working here, then he'll be safe. Which is to say, I'm quite relieved," admitted Junior before expanding more on it when seeing Velvet's confused face, "I wasn't lying when I said my nieces like this place. So do me a favor and watch out for the kids, alright? Least you seem dependable, unlike SOME PEOPLE!"

At that statement, he glared at his men, who pouted at the accusation.

"Well, since that's all, let's go." With a wave of his hand, Junior and his men left.

As Sky watched them leave, he whispered to Dove, "Dang, I want a beard like his."

"That's a big store," blinked Pyrrha as she stepped out of the car.

"Technically, it's a warehouse," corrected Jaune, paying the driver her Lien, "But they organize like a superstore. Come on, we have lots to buy!"

"Way ahead of you boss!" cheered Nora, already pulling up three shopping carts for them to use.

"Thanks, but change one of those shopping carts into one of those moving carts," instructed Jaune, pointing to moving carts area, to which Nora eagerly complied.

"Alright, let's go in, we got lots of shopping to do!" cheered Jaune as he showed his PriceCo ID to the employee at the entrance.

Man I'm taking this story slow aren't I? Well It's gonna be like that for a little for like... three more chapters before I speed up the timeline a bit. If I focus hard enough, might be able to do that in one. Also, some of you guys can probably guess what PriceCo is a knock off of.

Reminder, I have a pat reon, look up azndrgn making fanfic. Donators get perks!

I received a few concerns about whether or not I'm going to follow something similar to Service with a Smile with all that business rivalry. The answer to that is a resounding no. I might make a few mentions of it, but it won't be a big plot point in the story like Service did. Don't get me wrong, he did an excellent job with it. It's just not my style to do that though.

What am I going to do about the business? Well you'll just have to find out in the later chapters! I actually got down and drew out my whole plot with side notes on how this story will continue on. Only thing i need to do is to put it into words.
