[Beep! You assume that what happened was nothing more than an insignificant event, but you haven't considered that although it did not affect the physical world, it did affect the lives in the room with you when you awoken. Yes, the people in that room, their physical world may not have changed, but the feelings, the bond, the connection they had with you is very much real, for they are real people that the Beast of the Rift dragged into their scheme to change you as a person, a person who you aren't. For that would make it easier for them to get rid of you by making you forget what you have gained since receiving the Dreamscape]

Jaune was shocked. He didn't know what to think. "They were all real?"

[Beep! The world was semi-real, but the experience is undeniably real. The world was a simulation of another world, which is an exact copy of the world those people in the room with you lived in. They have the memories of the experience you went through with them. Just as you are feeling longing for them, they are for you as well]

Jaune thought for a moment and said, "I see." He then dodged a few incoming hits on his person.

It has been a few days since the incident, and it was already the Vytal Festival. Their team was going against team BRNZ. As impressive as Jaune was with his dodging, his friends could tell he was distracted by something.

Pyrrha approached Jaune and said, "Is everything okay? You seemed to be distracted by something."

Nora then approached, "Yeah! We can tell that something is on your mind. To others, you are performing exceptionally, but we can tell that you are quite sloppy with your movements. What's wrong?" Lei nodded, indicating that she, too, could tell something was wrong.

Jaune sighed and replied, "It happened a few days ago. Look, can I tell you about it after the match? I'll end it quickly, and then we can discuss it."

They nodded at him, and in the blink of an eye, team BRNZ was eliminated without knowing when and how their Aura was suddenly in the red. Baffled as they may be, they gracefully left the arena without any nonsense.

Minutes later, Jaune and his girlfriends were sitting with him. He was about to explain things but thought it would be better to do it differently. This was something that he had been working on. It was an information transfer magic. He kissed them, and they received the information he wanted to convey. Could it have been done without the kissing? Yes, but he didn't want to remove that part of the spell.

A fist then smacked Jaune in the head. "Ouch! Nora!"

Nora was cracking her fingers, "Don't 'Nora' me! What are you still doing here? You made a promise to those people! I thought an Arc never goes back on their words. That place might have been a simulation, but the people are real and have a bond with you! Who cares if the place was just a simulation? It is important that those peoples' experience with you was as real as it can be!"

The others nodded at Nora, who continued to speak, "Besides, what if your parents in that virtual world were living the dream of having a child for so long, then suddenly they woke up in a world where they can never have children?"

Nora then laughed. "Pfft! Plus, that Akeno girl is all bark and no bite! I bet that if you respond to her the way you did that day when we became all frisky with each other, she would blush and be all embarassed."

Jaune would rebuke her by saying that what she said was a specific situation, but Nora's predictions are sometimes accurate. It was such a wild idea that it could just be true. As he was thinking, he heard Pyrrha's voice, "Are you going to continue sitting there, or will you fulfill your promise to those people?"

Jaune smiled and stood up, but he heard Ruby say, "But you know, you should speak to your parents since you would have adoptive parents. It isn't bad, but what would they think about it?"

Jaune nodded his head and said, "That's a valid thought. I'll go and speak to them. They should be in the garden I made for Mom in my new house."

It didn't take long for Jaune to arrive in the house he made since he was capable of teleporting. When he set foot inside, he saw his siblings doing their thing. It was nice that they were comfortable with the house he made. Saphron, who was watching over Adrian as the little fella played in the play area he made, said, "Hmm? Jaune? Shouldn't you be preparing for your next match?"

Jaune said, "I should be, but then again, the next match would be doubles, and I'm letting Lei and Nora take the stage. As for singles, I might be the one participating, or I can let Pyrrha take the reign."

Saphron laughed, "Either way, there was no way that any other team would be in the finals besides your team and team RWBY. Gosh, you guys are kind of in God Mode against those other students."

Jaune raised an eyebrow, "Gosh? Since when did you use words like that?"

Saphron hit his shoulders, "Hey! I'm trying new things! But maybe that word is not for me. It felt awkward when I said it."

Jaune nodded at her thought, "Anyways, I need to speak to Mom and Dad. Are they in the garden?"

Saphron shook her head and pointed upstairs, "They're exhausted with the move here. Technically, the move was not the exhausting part. It was the part of taming the girls since they were excited to live with their big bro again."

Jaune chuckled, "I'll make time for the girls. I missed them as well. Living together would be interesting since my girlfriends would also live with us."

Saphron snorted, "I still can't believe you could date multiple amazing girls. Whatever you do, bro, don't mess it up. Mom and Dad are quite close with your girls."

Jaune's eye twitched, "I get that they are attached to Nora, Lei, and Pyrrha, but how did they get so attached to Ruby and the others?"

His sister rolled her shoulders, "I don't know, but if you break their hearts, I'm sure Mom will hunt you down no matter how strong you've gotten."

Jaune shivered. There was no way that he would have the strength to hurt his mother. Nonetheless, he had something to do and needed to speak with his parents. Whatever they thought about the situation would decide his next step, but he had a feeling that his parents would have no issues with his plans.

At the same time, in Draconic Deus.

Rias lost her Rating Game against Riser. Her wedding was scheduled to happen in two days. The girl in question sighed at her situation. She hoped he would be there to help her, but it was not meant to happen. She was ready to resign herself to a future she knew she would never be happy. It hurts that she would not be with the person of her choice, the person she so loved, which she contemplates day and night, ever since that night, whether he was even a real person or something she honestly merely dreamt of. Nonetheless, she was holding on to hope that he would take her away from a future she never wanted. Her instincts demand her to remain steady.

Inside the room that Rias was staying in, her mother knocked and came in. She said, "Honey, how are you doing?"

Rias looked at her mother with a false smile, "I'm doing fine. After all, I'm going to marry a guy I don't even like and someone who also sees me as nothing more than a trophy to be had."

Venelana recoiled at her daughter's words. This marriage was made long ago. She hated seeing her daughter this way. She also hated that they were using her daughter for political gain while saying it was all for the preservation of the Pure Devil Bloodline. Nothing she could say would help her daughter with her situation. Thus, she left the room.

Rias Peerage was in the room with her. Akeno was the first to speak. "You could always just leave and never come back."

Rias shook her head. "That wouldn't solve anything in the long run. They would search for me no matter where I go. Then again, that might be better than living a life of misery with someone I don't have any affection" for."

Kiba was next to come up with an idea. "Maybe we can request for a rematch."

Rias said, "Perhaps, but I doubt the elders would agree to another match since their objective was already at hand. All they have to do is wait, and they know I can do nothing about it. Also, the result of a rematch would end the same way. We are not experienced or strong enough to beat Riser and his team. If only Jaune were here…"

This made people look at her intently. Asia was the one with the biggest reaction. "B-Buchou! How do you know that name?"

Akeno was the next to speak, "I am curious as well. I thought he was merely a part of my dream. Though, I wish he was real, but perhaps he is not merely a dream if you know of him."

Rias was shocked. "You guys know about Jaune?! How?!"

Akeno chuckled and said, "He was a kouhai of ours. The latest of your Peerage. He is a bit perverted, but he was fun to mess with."

Asia said. "That's the same thing as with me, but there was an addition of him and Koneko trying to dave me during the situation in the abandoned church."

Kiba was next to speak, "That would be the same as me. I remember going to the abandoned church to save Asia after Jaune and Koneko decided to save her. But how is that possible? How are we having the same dream?"

Koneko said, "Maybe it was a dream, yet not a dream at the same time."

The conversation took all their attention away from the wedding that was happening soon. However, this conversation has made their bond with each other stronger than ever. The experience that they had with Jaune was something they all cherished.
