Chapter 5 An underdog no more

A green light emerged as Jaune appeared. The Arc recognized the inside of the Haruchi shrine. He was back after finding out he's been training for five years inside the spirit stone. The blond took a glance at the green stone with some concern. Kensumaru wasn't looking good when he sent him back. The Yaksha was feeling tire and needed some rest. Hopefully he'll be fine.

If the Yaksha was right then only a few days has passed since he left. He needed to let Asagi know he was back. But first, he needed to change his clothes still wearing the yukata. Time to head to the Fuuma compound. It's been too long since he has been in Gosha village, five years to be exact. Even if nothing has changed here. The Arc left the shrine in a hurry, he has missed everyone.

Jaune walked the streets smiling. He was back and he couldn't be any more happier. The people that were passing by gave him puzzle looks obviously not recognizing him. Definitely not familiar, he was no local. Well, he had trouble recognizing himself too. Even having a hard time that it's been five years in Kensumaru's mind space.

As the Arc arrived at the street that will lead him to the Fuuma Compound, a feeling of dread fell on him. He also got the feeling that he was being watched. It was the same when he was able to sensed Asagi watching him before meeting her. His training has resulted in he becoming more aware of his surroundings. He got serious and slowed down on his walking. Could it be an enemy ready to ambush him.

The feeling got stronger to the point he was able to sense the killing intent. This has to be a hostile force. Blue eyes widened as he felt the hostile was behind him. In a quick movement he has unsheathed Croces Mors and his shield. Only for his vision to be met by a very sharp kunai. Using his shield he blocked the attack as he jumped back to have a better look at his attacker. His eyes widened not believing the identity.

"Tokiko…?"

It was indeed his school teacher wearing her teacher attire and she wasn't happy one bit. Her green eyes were showing no emotion just pure focus with a hidden anger. The intent to kill was pretty clear. The Taimanin grip her kunai so tightly when she saw this stranger holding Jaune's weapon. Could it be that he killed him and took his gear. No, she won't jump to conclusions. First she will incapacitate him and then ask her question.

And he better give her a good answer because if he don't, her eyes hardened at the thought. She charged at him that made him gasped. The Arc couldn't evade because there was no time, so he used his shield to block the strike. The force sent him flying but he was able to regain his footing. She really wanted to kill him. He gasped as she has taken many kunais not wasting time. She wasn't holding back.

"WAIT!" he yelled in panic.

"It's me! Tokiko it's me, it's Jaune!"

The dark haired woman kept her guard and attack stance as she took a better look at this stranger. Somehow this man knew her name and that made her more focus. He has to be a hostile and the fact that he infiltrated Gosha village without any warning troubled her. Then, the long haired man has threw the sword and shield to the ground which surprised her. He has raised his hands with the intention that he didn't wanted to fight.

"It's me Tokiko. Calm down I know it's hard to recognize me but its really me. It's probably being like three days since I left for the training with Kensu but inside the spirit stone time moves faster, a whole lot faster."

The Taimanin and teacher was still in her fighting stance studying his movements.

"Kensu told me that the mind space provided by the spirit stone is only for spirits that have passed on. But because I'm alive it affected me and time went up too quickly and before I knew it, five years have passed."

"…..."

"Please, I know its hard to believe it but its really me as a full adult now. You have every right to see me as a threat but I can prove it to you that I'm me. Um...I can name the members of the Fuuma clan. Uh...There's Saika, Amane, Hibiki, Yukina and...Damn I'm missing people and uh….You welcomed me to the clan's home and you call me master, which I'm still trying to get used to even if its been three months. What else...Oh! You took me shopping so I could have clothes to fit in this world. The black leader jacket you bought me is so cool it's my favorite and…."

Tokiko has finally lowered the kunais as she was still staring at him. She took a few steps towards the blond man. Gazing deeper into his eyes, those beautiful blue eyes. The teacher and Taimanin was now shocked how could she have not recognized him.

"Master? It's really you...But how?"

"I already explained that-Oh my gosh, you believe me?! Thank goodness I thought I was going to die" he felt so relief.

If it wasn't for Kensumaru's training Tokiko would have kill him on the spot.

The dark haired woman finally put away the kunais smiling and relief she didn't hurt him. She got closer to him, taking another look. It was truly him, the long hair and the beard was a good disguise.

"It's hard to believe that I've been away for five years while here, I've been gone for a couple of days."

"Four days to be precise" replied the Taimanin.

"Yeah, that. Anything happen while I was gone?"

"Just the usual. Though Asagi-sama sounded a little worried the last time I spoke to her. She has been talking about you as of late."

"Well, I'm back now and-"

The loud growl interrupted the Arc while Tokiko laughed slightly.

"Heh, guess I'm hungry."

While Tokiko was busy in the kitchen, Jaune went to take a shower. The Arc wanted to wash off before eating. Shortly after, he gazed at the mirror and made up his mind to shave off his beard. Thank goodness there was an electric razor and shaved off the beard completely. Washing his face and putting some after shave, he was looking much better. Honestly, the blond wasn't a fan of a beard he prefer to be shaved nice and clean.

After getting dressed to a red shirt with jeans and white sneakers. The Arc reached the kitchen and got seated on the table while the Taimanin was finishing up. Tokiko saw that Jaune was already there and took a better look at him without the beard. In truth, she has never seen such a handsome man before. He definitely look better without it. And the long hair makes him look quite hot. The teacher brought him the food and the blond was already chowing down.

"Do I have to go to school today?"

"There are no classes today due to a seminar. Asagi-sama wants to reunite with members of the faculty that were gone and expand the curriculum. She also desires to have more role models for future Taimanins."

"Yeah, that's Asagi all right. Always looking ahead."

Tokiko resumed watching the blond eating. After what he told her, she didn't know how he must be feeling. Was he all right, not to mention she almost ended up killing him because she couldn't recognize him at first. He was a stranger and saw him as an enemy the moment she saw the Arc's weapon. The fact he was able to hold his own against her proves the training with Kensumaru has been very effective.

"Are you feeling all right master?" the concern in her voice was evident.

"Hm?"

"Forgive me, master. If you haven't convinced me, I would have taken your life" her green eyes softened with guilt.

"It's all right, don't blame yourself. You didn't recognized me and saw me as a threat. I don't blame your actions."

"You were training for five years inside the spirit stone. I thought you would be upset knowing a lot of time has passed."

Jaune stood silent, he was happy she was worried for him.

"I'm still trying to believe its true. To be honest, I never noticed it has been that long. If it wasn't for Kensu to realize time was moving faster for me, who knows how many years would have passed and maybe, I would have ended up an old man" he chuckled.

"But what matters now, is that I'm here and although my training isn't complete. I'm ready to help. Maybe I can be of use in this world. Back in my world, I wanted to be a hero and make my family proud."

"I'm sure they would be very proud of the person you have become" the Fuuma Taimanin assured him.

The Arc almost teared up at those words.

"I hope you're right. Anyway, I still don't know what to do with my hair. It's too long for my liking."

"If its all right with you, I can cut it for you."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's do it."

Tokiko brought a chair, a pair of scissors and a hand mirror. The Arc got seated and the young woman started cutting it.

"How short do you want it?"

"Not too short. I want to try a new look to see if it suits me. Maybe the pony tail doesn't have to be too long something like, regular. I mean not too long, not too short."

The teacher nodded resuming to cut the hair.

"Say Tokiko?"

"Yes master?"

"Thanks...For everything. For taking me into your home and accepting me as one of you. Even if you didn't had to, I'm not a member of the Fuuma clan. It feels like I'm an outsider being here. Well technically, I'm from another world so I'm literally an outsider."

"True you don't have Fuuma blood in you. But that doesn't mean I won't accept you. Asagi-sama believes in you and so do I. And during your stay these past three months you have proven to be a kind and righteous person. If those aren't qualities to be a Taimanin then I don't know what is."

"Thanks. I promise I won't let you down or Asagi."

"I know you won't. Is this good?"

The Arc took the hand mirror to see her progress and smiled.

"That's pretty good. Make it a little shorter more and it will be great."

After a few minutes, Tokiko was finally done. Jaune looked at the hand mirror for the last time. His pony was short, reaching to the back of his neck. He gave the dark haired woman a thumbs up liking it a lot. The teacher and Taimanin stood staring at the blond man with affection in her green eyes. Her cheeks turned red. She will be a complete fool to say he's not attractive. He was handsome, gorgeous, truly an elegant specimen for any single woman seeking a man.

"By the way master. I noticed your sword has chips on both sides."

Jaune's eyes softened when she mentioned what has happened to his weapon. Guess those were the results of training with a high rank demon. He didn't wanted to tear up because he knew his weapon was done for. It was impossible to try and replace Crocea Mors, it wasn't just his weapon but it was also the only thing he had left of his world and his family. So many memories of Remnant were reflected on that sword.

"There's a way to fix it master" Tokiko brought hope to the Arc.

"Really? How?"

"Asagi-sama knows. It will be better to ask her."

"Right! I was planning to go to the school now and meet up with her."

"I'll give you a lift."

The Arc smiled taking his phone and texting the headmistress.

*Guess who's back?*

And immediately his phone rang.

*Jaune?* Asagi sounded surprised.

"Yep, I'm back. I'm heading for Gosha Academy now."

Asagi stood outside of the school near the parking lot. She was glad that Jaune was back, quite soon she might add. It's only been four days since he left to train with the Yaksha Kensumaru. The training must have been that effective for the blond to be done in such a short amount of time. A smile spread her features spotting Tokiko's car. She saw the dark haired teacher emerged from the vehicle first. And then, the second figure emerged.

The headmistress thought she was seeing a stranger next to the Taimanin of the Fuuma clan. She grew wary but the facts the teacher wasn't on her guard surprised her. A tall blond man with a short pony tail and lovely blue eyes. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks. It couldn't be this man was the same person she saved three months ago. How did he looked older and more attractive. Was this the result of the training.

"Asagi-sama" Tokiko greeted with a bow.

"Hey Asagi" greeted the blond man.

"Jaune?" the headmistress was still trying to believe it.

"Yeah, its me. I can explain."

The Arc was embarrassed on the inside remembering he saw her naked as an illusion created by Kensumaru. Sakura, Murasaki and Rinko. It wasn't going to be easy meeting up with them too.

"I was supposed to be off today. But since I'm here. I might as well join the seminar" replied Tokiko

The Almighty nodded as her eyes were on the blond.

"You can explain as we head back inside."

As they walked the halls of the school Jaune told Asagi what happened while he was inside the spirit stone with the Yaksha. The headmistress listened and she couldn't believe of the predicament the blond experienced. Time moving faster for him leading to training for five years. No one expected these turn of events. Secretly she didn't mind. Jaune has gotten more muscular and more handsome. So she did her best not to stare too much.

The headmistress opened the door to the conference room, inviting the two to go in first. Jaune saw familiar faces that were seated on a long table. There was Saika the secretary, Murasaki his homeroom teacher, Yuuna Shinjou the school nurse and two new faces.

One was a woman looking in her late twenties with long blond hair tied in two bangs but the rest of her hair wasn't tied up with green eyes. Jaune did his best not to blush because she had a gigantic bust it was very noticeable even with her clothes. Wearing a red elegant jacket with a black blouse and a black miniskirt. White knee stockings with red at the top and red heels. She was gorgeous and hot.

The second woman looked in her early thirties with long black hair tied on a pony tail and purple eyes. And by the heavens her bust was bigger than the blond woman's. Wearing a long sleeve pink and white blouse with a black miniskirt, black silk stockings with silver bracelets at the bottom of her feet with black heels.

Everyone took notice at the presence of the headmistress and the teacher Tokiko. But their eyes were focused on the young blond man. The blond and black haired woman were staring at him the most. Clearly, they have never seen him before. Then again, the rest of the faculty were having a difficulty recognizing him.

"Everyone. I know this might as a surprise, the person next to me is Jaune Arc."

The three ladies that were familiar with the Arc stood shocked.

"That's Jaune?" Murasaki couldn't believe this handsome man is her student.

"Master, you went to quite an improvement I see" smiled Saika at his change, he looked that good.

"I almost couldn't tell it was you" followed Yuuna.

"Jaune has been training for five years inside the spirit stone with the Yaksha Kensu-sama. Due to the circumstance that he's a living being, time in the space of the spirit stone went rather quickly than the time from this world." Explained Asagi.

"So while it was five years in the stone, only four days has passed here" replied Saika.

"This is the student you mentioned Asagi-sama? He's a little old now to be one" spoke the busty blond with green eyes with a smile staring at the Arc.

"That may be. But he still has the responsibility to attend the school as one. Jaune, let me introduce you to Shizuru Kosaka."

"AKA Shizuru of Flowers, pleased to meet you" she gave him a wink.

"Nice to meet you too Shizuru" the Arc gave a bow while his cheeks turned red.

Too bad Shizuru noticed and smiled, hiding a grin.

"And the lady next to her is Rin Uehara. Both her and Shizuru-san are teachers of Gosha Academy. They've been absent recently due to other priorities" resumed the headmistress.

"We apologize for the absence. We had our missions that couldn't be ignored. Nice to meet you Jaune Arc, I teach Literature and Communication" said Rin.

"And I teach science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics" replied Shizuru.

"Rin-san you already apologized and I said your mission was the priority over attending the school" said Asagi.

"Should we resume with what's left of the seminar?"asked Murasaki.

"Yes."

"Asagi-sama. Jaune would like to ask you a favor" said Tokiko.

The headmistress turned to the Arc he unsheathed Crocea Mors. Green eyes fell on the chips all over the sword. She took a guess that this was done because of the training with Kensumaru.

"Tokiko said you can help me fix it. I don't want to discard it. It's all I have left of my world."

"Understood. Wait for me outside until the seminar ends. I will help you reforge your weapon Jaune. You have my word" Asagi heard the emotion in his voice understanding the sentimental value behind the sword.

"Thank you" he was so grateful for her kindness.

An hour later, Jaune and Asagi were on the Task Force HQ. The Taimanin lead the Arc through the many floors even if she already gave him the grand tour, the last time he was here. They arrived at a room where there three semi-cylinders forming the shape of a triangle. The Arc was pretty clueless to what this place or what does things in the middle can do.

"This is the weapon facility. This is where we upgrade our weapons if necessary before heading out for a mission."

"So these things here are..."

"They're the machine that will help reforge your weapon. And that's not all. It will upgrade your weapon stronger than ever. But first, we need to discuss which magatama to install your weapon."

"Magatama?"

"Follow me and I'll explain."

Asagi went to a corner where there was a small in the form of a table. A hatch on the side opened revealing small jewels in the form of the Yin and Yang symbol at least, one half of them symbol. They came in colors of red, blue, yellow and green. They were pretty as Jaune stood in awe. Just from appearance alone, they seem to be very valuable.

"Magatamas existed since early Japan period. They were forge into the weapons of the first Taimanins over seven hundred years ago. They're use to power up weapons and make them stronger to be more effective in battle. To put it simple, they're amplifiers of power for a weapon. It can either make it stronger, tougher, even to increase the wearer's stamina."

"I remember Kensu telling me of the first Taimanins. That they were originally not fighters but they work undercover in the prostitution ring."

"That is correct. And the weapons they use to carry out assassinations were powered by magatama. Small knives even hair pins had them. Only the best blacksmiths can forge magatama into the weapon successfully. Otherwise, it will result in failure destroying the weapon and worst case scenario, the magatama will be destroy as well. Magatamas are extremely valuable for us. They give us the edge against the demons."

"Wait, does that mean you want to put magatama on my weapon?" Jaune couldn't believe it.

"Yes. You'll be fighting alongside us therefore, your weapon must be upgraded to meet the require standards."

"I...I don't know what to say. I feel like I'm not worthy to receive such power."

"I think you are worthy to receive it. Your sword and shield will be forge with brand new magatama."

"My shield?" the Arc that his shield was still in perfect condition.

"I think both weapons need to be upgraded in my opinion. Of course, you have the final word."

"Yeah sure, go ahead. The more the better."

"All right. Let's move on to the selection of magatama. I will explain each one base on color. Red magatama is the magatama of bravery. It increases strength and power of the weapon attacks, its a must recommended for beginners and veterans Taimanins."

"Blue magatama is the magatama of solid. It increases weapon's endurance and its defense. This one is recommended for Taimanins that likes to play it safe specially if they find themselves in a tough spot, getting caught in an ambush or surrounded by the enemy."

"Yellow magatama is the magatama of satisfaction. It increases its destructive power or rather, its critical damage. This one is mostly recommended for veterans Taimanins who have experienced countless of battles."

"And finally the green magatama, the magatama of steadfast. It increases the wearer's stamina. This one is recommended to be use for long battles, in case the enemy gets restless with wave after wave. This magatama will be useful."

"Wow, they all sound amazing."

"Which one will you pick for your sword and shield?"

"Hm...For Crocea Mors my sword, I think it will be better to install one of each."

"A wise choice. I believe both weapons can have four slots for the magatama" smiled Asagi.

"And for my shield. Well, its a shield so magatama of solid should be the most recommended. Or maybe I'll go with two solid and two steadfast."

"That is also a wise choice. Your sword will be reforge first before the upgrade. Your shield will undergo upgrade. Once that's all over, it will get to the next stage with the placement of magatama."

"How long will it all take?"

"Four hours."

"Whoa, that fast? I thought it was going to take days."

"The technology use in HQ is very advance. It's to be expected it will be very effective."

"Guess I will be getting my weapon back before this day ends."

"In the meantime, would you like to join me for some tea?"

"Tea sounds great."

Asagi and Jaune were in the cafeteria section of HQ. Both have ordered mint leaf tea, taking their seats. The Arc really like the taste of the hot beverage. He suddenly so calm and relaxed. This could easily put anyone to a good mood. The blond was overjoyed about his weapon. Crocea Mors and his shield were in the weapon facility getting reforge and upgrade and all it will take is four hours.

"Thanks for the tea Asagi. Its very good."

"You're welcome. This is one of my favorite drinks. I usually drink it during breaks."

"Thanks for everything Asagi. It means a lot to me. This gives me more motivation not to let you down. I hope my training was enough."

"Speaking of your training. I've been meaning to ask, how was your training with Kensu-sama?"

"I did gave you an answer the last time but I guess, I skipped over the details. It was...Pure hell."

"Oh" a smiled spread the Taimanin's features.

"There was so much work, so much running, wearing weights, doing meditation under a freaking cold waterfall, filling a mine cart with rocks and carry it to a hill. I mean sure, I wasn't expecting it was going to be easy but then again, I wasn't expecting it was going to be so hard. I did had breaks and I ate and rest. The worst parts have to be sparring with Kensu and that blasted course he calls the Gauntlet. There were times I thought I was going to die."

"Sounds like he didn't went easy on you."

"I wouldn't say that. He was holding back all along though, the training isn't over. He said there was an advance stage to the training. I never got to start it because he found out of the time that passed by. And also, he needed to rest to regain his strength back. I hope he gets better."

"Kensu-sama is a lot stronger than you think. Though all that remains is his soul he's still a formidable opponent."

"I have to prove that I'm a capable Taimanin now after the training. There's only one way to do it. But it will have to wait until my weapon is done."

The Arc's phone rang. Checking the number the blond smiled, answering the call.

*Jaune?! Is it true that you're back?!* Sakura's voice.

"That's right. I'm having some tea with Asagi at HQ."

*Then hurry up and meet us in front of Yamaguchi restaurant. My treat!*

"All right I'll be right there." He ended the call.

"Go. You deserve to spend some time with my sister and everyone. I'll give you a lift there." Smiled Asagi.

"It's not like I've been gone for five years in this world."

The headmistress had to chuckled at his sense of humor.

Sakura, Rinko, Yukikaze, Maika and Kirara stood in front of the restaurant, waiting for Jaune. The four girls were wearing formal attires compare to their school uniforms. Sakura was wearing a black jacket with a white shirt, a brown belt with navy blue shorts and knee length black boots. Yukikaze was wearing a light brown jacket with a brown blouse, a red scarf with a gray skirt, white knee stockings and brown shoes. Rinko was wearing a light yellow sweater with a black and white stripes scarf, navy blue shorts, brown silk stockings with elegant yellow heels.

Kirara was wearing a short dark blue jacket with a white buttoned blouse, a short blue checked skirt with a blue checked ribbon and heart clip and black boots below her knees. Maika was wearing a red jacket with a zebra print buttoned blouse opened in the middle, showing her fabulous cleavage and revealing she was wearing a black bra. A light brown skirt with brown knee stockings and light brown heels with a fur pelt at the top.

They just got here so they haven't been waiting that long for the Arc. A few minutes later Asagi arrived waving to her sister and the rest. Jaune got off her car as she followed to wave at the group. For a moment the five girls didn't recognized him. However, Sakura, Rinko, Kirara and Maika stood stunned blushing at the handsome man before them. Gorgeous and that short pony tail made him look even hotter.

Asagi bid farewell as the Arc approached the group. The four were still going gaga over him, feeling like they were in the presence of a king and they weren't worthy. Not a single word could escape their lips.

"Hey, guys!" greeted the Arc.

"…...…...…."

"And you are?" it was Yukikaze that broke the silence.

"You guys weren't the only ones who couldn't recognize me. It's me, Jaune." He chuckled.

"…"

There was another silence as the girls were trying to process the information. This marvelous crafted sculpture of a man was their friend and classmate. How he has gotten so freaking hot in only four days. Just what was his secret. The silence was starting to get awkward and Yukikaze was getting annoyed a her friends reaction. But her cheeks got red.

"Jaune, hey how are you. Sorry about not recognizing you." said the tanned petite.

"It's okay. Like I said, you weren't the only ones who had a hard time recognizing me. So, are we heading inside my treat? And I know you volunteered Sakura, but I want to treat you guys. Hope you don't mind."

"Um...S-sure, I guess" replied the blushing Igawa.

Jaune opened the door to the restaurant letting them go first like the gentlemen that he is. Yukikaze was the first to enter, ignoring the rest who were still in dreamland. Yet she was also in her own little world. Each girl took a glance at him as they entered.

"Holy shit, he's so fucking hot!" thought Maika.

They got seated in one of those round tables, enough to fit six people. They made their order wanting to eat a good bowl of ramen noddles. Jaune and Maika ordered their amen with pork while the rest ordered beef. While the food was getting food, the Arc decided to tell them why he was older. His time training with Kensumaru and time moving faster that caused him to be inside the spirit stone for five years.

The five girls were stunned by the explanation. So basically he was twenty four, old enough to be a teacher at Gosha Academy. Sakura, Rinko, Kirara and Maika were stealing glances at the blond young man. They couldn't help it if he has gotten more attractive than from the last time they saw him. They blushed again, never they have ever met a handsome guy like their friend before. Yukikaze was the only one annoyed that they were ogling at the Arc like thirsty middle age women. But she was a hypocrite, because she was also blushing at him.

The food arrived as the female waitress laid their hot bowls. She blushed at the fight of Jaune and even wink at him. This caught the Arc by surprise, didn't see that coming. Then again, he wasn't expecting the teacher Shizuru to do the same. The four girls that had their attention on him, weren't happy by the display. The waitress didn't knew him like they did. They picked their chopsticks chowing down.

Jaune was savoring the rich taste of his pork ramen. How he has missed the food from Yamaguchi. He remembered the times he would come with the girls after class or during the weekends. Sure the food from Kensumaru's mindspace was obviously good because that's how the Yaksha wanted it to be. But this taste was unique and even nostalgic. The Arc has come to see Gosha village as his new home. And a place to has help him dealing with his home sickness and his friends from Remnant.

"I really missed this place. It feels like I haven't been here in so long."

"Well, you were training for five years so its understandable" replied Yukikaze.

"It's obvious you would miss coming to Yamaguchi" followed Sakura.

"I still can't believe you spent five years inside the spirit stone" said Rinko.

"I don't regret it, you know. I needed the training if I wanted to help Asagi and everyone."

"I bet Murasaki sensei was impressed. I bet she regrets being mean to you" said Maika.

Jaune stood in thought at the comment. She did told him she would give him one and she has also acknowledged him. Either way, he wanted to show her he was more than ready to handle a mission and that he was capable candidate to be a Taimanin.

"I honestly didn't like how she used to treat you. It pissed me off" resumed the gyaru girl.

"It's okay. She apologized and realized she made a mistake. She changed her mind about me."

"But still...I want a rematch."

"I've been meaning to ask you Jaune" spoke Kirara.

"I'm curious. What kind of person is Kensumaru?"

"Yeah. Everyone knows he's a powerful Yaksha that became the ally of the Taimanins hundreds of years ago." Replied Sakura.

"And he helped them win numerous battles" added Yukikaze.

"Hmm….." the Arc stood in deep thought.

He suddenly sweat dropped remembering whenever he acted like a pervert and a womanizer. Better not bring that up or they will lose any respect for the Yaksha. Obviously he will say his good traits.

"He once told me that he used to be evil by nature. As a Yaksha, he lived for the battle. It was his sole purpose, slaying so many demons and humans. Then one day he met the Taimanins and eventually he showed empathy towards them. He realized the goodness in their hearts that they were more than weapons to kill but, human beings with feelings."

"That's so beautiful" smiled Rinko.

"I know. Ever since then, he chose to fight by their side. Offering his talents…." the Arc sweat dropped again.

Remembering what were his talents. Making them stronger by having sex with them. No rape, of course. Jaune got the message loud and clear that he hates such and he values the Taimanins consent highly. They will decide if they want to have sex with him, it was their choice. Also the ability to make them feel pleasure instead of the pain of first time sex. Virgins will love their first time without any pain.

Flashbacks of the Yaksha telling him that he passed those talents to him and hence, why he knew exactly what to do on that day. The image of him having sex with illusion Asagi next to naked Sakura, Rinko and Murasaki emerged. Hottest moment in his life and he would be lying if he said he didn't wanted to do it again.

"Jaune?" called Sakura.

"Hm...Oh yeah, what?" he snapped back to reality.

"You went silent all of the sudden. Everything okay?" asked Rinko.

"Yeah. I can still remember the training so well. And before you guys ask, it was pure hell. Extremely painful and exhausting."

"Training is never easy. Otherwise, you would never improve" replied the long blue haired girl.

"Progress takes time. Training is necessary to achieve it" added Yukikaze.

"At least you're still in one piece, eh?" said Maika.

"Definitely" he smiled resuming eating his ramen.

"Did you finished the training?" asked Kirara.

Jaune paused his eating in thought. The busty blond thought she asked wrong seeing his expression.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

"No its okay Kirara, you said nothing wrong. I haven't finish the training bur I will eventually go back and finish it. Once Kensu recovers I intend to learn everything from him. Hopefully, it won't take me another five years." He took a bite of his pork.

"So you can become hotter and more fuckable?"

The whole table went silent as they were all staring at Maika. The gyaru realized the mistake of her comment and it was one that she will think instead of saying it in the open. She shut herself up stuffing her face with ramen. Pretending she didn't said a word.

After their meal Jaune was ready to bid farewell to the girls. When he got a text from Asagi, telling him that his weapon was done from the weapon facility. The Arc couldn't believe four hours have passed already. With this, he can finally put his plan into the works. Guess he won't be sleeping yet as it was starting to get dark. The blond told his friends about his weapon and what he was planning to do.

There was only one thing left to do. The blond dialed a familiar number, hoping she would answer.

*Yes, Jaune?*

"Murasaki sensei, I have a request. I hope you can accept."

Thirty minutes later Jaune stood on a green field with Sakura, Rinko, Yukikaze, Kirara and Maika. The Gosha Academy faculty was present too. Saika, Tokiko, Shizuru, Rin. Asagi has brought him his new weapon handing it to him. The Arc stood in awe staring at the new Crocea Mors and his shield.

The sword was similar but he could tell the blade has been reforged to perfection. Not a single chip on it, only its sharp edge stood and it seemed to be even sharper than before. Asagi told him the magatamas were equipped and they're inside the weapon. They're not visible to the naked eye. The Taimanin told him that he will feel the difference in strength when he uses it. In truth he was glad the sword didn't changed in appearance. He wanted to keep it the same way as when he took it. The heirloom and prized possession of the Arc family.

A shame he will never be able to apologize to his father for running off with the weapon. Something he will have to live for the rest of his life. Holding the sword he already could tell the difference. It felt powerful in his hand and it kept its weight after the upgrade. The Arc shifted his gaze to his shield. It was also similar but reinforced steel making it tougher than how it was originally. And that wasn't all, it got equipped with magatamas too for extra defense and endurance.

Putting the shield on his arm, he felt like he was ready to battle a horde of demons. It maybe exaggerated but it was a figure of speech. His eyes shifted to the other side of the field.

He will have his rematch with his homeroom teacher after his training and thus why everyone was present. To witness the fight. The Arc was glad his homeroom teacher agreed to his request. Asagi accepted the match but only if they fight anywhere but school grounds. And thus why they were on a field on the outskirts of Gosha village.

Murasaki stood in her place holding her giant axe and wearing her Taimanin suit. The appearance of a white dress, open to her upper thighs with black lines vertically on the side. Long white gloves with a metal plate on the upper side of the arms and the same black line below the shoulders. Black knee stockings but it had a metal plate on the leg section all the way to the feet. And silver heels.

The axe Taimanin grabbed her heavy weapon, holding it with both hands. Her eyes were focused knowing this match will be different from their last one. Her student has trained with the Yaksha Hero meaning, he must have gotten stronger. And after seeing him lift her weapon by an inch without training back then. She wasn't going to underestimate him.

"This time, I will be using my weapon. So you better be ready Jaune."

"Are you going to hold back sensei?"

"That will depend on your performance."

Both fighters remain still waiting who will make the first move. The audience present were paying close attention to the two. Sakura, Rink, Kirara and Maika were doing their best not to get anxious. The first match back at school was good. This one, might be even better.

"…..….….."

"You fought Murasaki Yatsu?"

Kensumaru was surprised by this revelation. The Yaksha and Jaune stood on the courtyard of his castle.

"It wasn't really a match, it was a sparring match. She didn't even used her weapon, except for a knife. Either way, I never stood a chance. I guess it was to be expected from the Taimanin that is consider the second strongest next to Asagi."

"Yatsu...Yatsu...Oh yeah, the Yatsu clan I remember having a few encounters with her ancestor. She was holding a huge ass axe very intimidating."

"Yep, Murasaki sensei also uses a big axe."

"It's not the axe or any weapon that makes the Yatsu clan very powerful. But rather, their ninja art "Immortal Awakened". They gained the ability to heal any type of wound in an instant. It also gives them inhuman strength and speed. I remember how the Yatsu ancestor killed dozens of demons with just one swing of her axe and using one of her techniques, hundreds died."

The Arc felt proud to have someone like Murasaki as his homeroom teacher. Her ninja art explains how she's able to lift her weapon that weights a lot.

"And you want to fight her again once we're done with the training?"

"Yeah. That's what I have planned."

"Well, all I can tell you is good luck because you're going to need it."

The Arc sweat dropped.

"I'm kidding! Look, you know this is no amateur opponent. This is a full veteran and she's suppose to be the second strongest of the Task Force after the Almighty. I can give you advice but your chances of winning are pretty close to zero. Even with my training you're going to have a hard time against her."

"It's not about winning. I knew all along I can't beat her. I just want to prove a point. That I'm ready and capable to be a Taimanin. Maybe being a Huntsman didn't worked out for me but now, I have to try and be the best I can be. I want her to look into my eyes and see I'm worthy for the role and be on equal ground with her. And also...I want her to be proud of me" he never notice his cheeks turning red.

Kensumaru did noticed and chuckled.

"I see. Winning is not the objective but recognition instead. Very well, I'll give you some pointers if you want to stand toe to toe against a Yatsu. If she's as strong as I believe then she will most likely knows the techniques passed down from her clan. Although they're all powerful and deadly there are two techniques you should be very wary off."

"One is the Fushi-no-Jin. It's a counter attack in which she gets into her counter stance and focuses all of her strength in one blow. When the enemy gets close for the attack she unleashes all her might and the force is so strong it creates a shock wave with an impressive radius. Anyone near that radius gets killed."

"I guess that's very effective when she's surrounded by the enemy" said the Arc.

"Precisely. And the second is her ultimate attack tentacle killer. The Yatsu clan's bloodline has the ability to create powerful tentacles to aid them in battle. The attack she unleashes and they perform a thrust attack followed by her thrusting her axe. Trust me you don't want to get caught by that attack."

"I don't think she will go for that. I'm not an enemy she wouldn't use that attack unless if she wants to kill me."

"Fair enough. But its better to warn you of it. Now for some pointers how she swings her axe can be use as an advantage for you."

"Really, how come?"

"Because no matter how strong she is, it doesn't change the fact that her swings will be slow due to the weight of her axe. She's a heavy hitter and her normal attacks are slow so evading should be the priority. And when you evade successfully, you counter. Trying not to get hit will be the real challenge. Remember, under any circumstances you can't get hit or you'll be in big trouble."

"Will she even hold back again? Last time she did, and I never stood a chance."

"I guess that will depend how strong you will become during the training. Come now, let us resume. I'll tell you more about the Yatsu clan and more tricks to use for a counter."

"I can do this. It's not about beating her. I have to avoid her attacks and come up with a counter plan. Must keep my eye on her swings."

"Are you ready Jaune?" asked Murasaki.

"As I'll ever be."

(Music: ":Lift me up" by Five Finger Dead Punch)

It was Murasaki that made the first move as she lunge at the blond, ready for a swing of her weapon. Jaune kept his distance running, trying to find an opening. The group were in awe at how fast he has gotten since the last match. Murasaki noticed too and was impressed. But she kept her attacks trying to get closer to the blond. All the Arc was doing keeping his distance from the Taimanin. He needed to come up with a plan or this whole match will be a cat and mouse game.

Murasaki wasn't going to have this. They were fighting not playing cat and mouse. She used her tentacle anchor as it landed on the Arc's shield. Jaune gasped seeing the tentacle stuck on his shield. And he was shocked when the indigo haired woman launched herself with the tentacle, landing straight at him. She went for another swing but the blond jumped out of the way. Looks like she was getting relentless.

"Running away isn't part of a fight Jaune!"

"I'm trying to come up with a plan!"

"Think fast then!"

Another swing, another jump. Murasaki did her best to swing her axe faster, while the Arc kept on jumping out of the way. Until she swung the weapon and he jumped but, he was nowhere to be found. The teacher was shocked looking everywhere. Asagi and everyone were actually impressed at his thinking. The Immortal Taimanin's eyes widened realizing she should have looked behind.

Turning behind how could have been so careless. There he was, standing on top of her axe. He quickly charged, she wasn't going to make it. A sword strike went right by the left side on her cheek. Everyone gasped when they saw a small cut on said cheek. Jaune has managed to land a blow on the Undying. But just as the wound emerged, it quickly healed up because of her ninja art. The blond needed to make some distance before its too late.

It was indeed too late as Murasaki perform Great axe Iseen. A downward attack where she hit the ground hard with her weapon. It crushed the ground from the sheer force making the Arc tripped. The Taimanin went for the attack with a swing and all the blond could do was attempt to block it with his shield. He blocked it but the attack was so strong it sent the shield flying from his hand. Leaving him with his sword.

The Arc's aura flared as he unleashed a wave from his aura, straight at his teacher. The Undying had trouble seeing it because it moved too fast. She made the attempt to block it but it sent her to the ground, her axe causing a crater when it landed. This was his chance to attack, now that she was unarmed. His aura kept flaring going for a charge. The Taimanin was on her feet and summoned a tentacle, capturing the blond.

"Damn it. She recovered faster than I thought."

While he was trapped, Murasaki grabbed her weapon. To everyone's shock, Jaune cried out as his aura was still flaring and was able to break free from the tentacle. He quickly changed Crocea Mors into great sword, the kid gloves were off. Time to use his strength against the strength of the Undying. Charging again, the navy blue haired woman went for a swing and the Arc managed to block it. Both were crossing weapons, as they their focus staring into each other's eyes.

Murasaki didn't wasted time going for another swing. Jaune jumped out of the way and made an attempt to land on the weapon but his homeroom teacher was expecting it. She wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice as she use another attack. Great axe Rengeki. She quickly hit the ground with her weapon four times, destroying more the ground then finishing with an even stronger attack. The Arc got hit by the destruction as he fell to the ground. Yet he was okay thanks to his aura.

"Get up Jaune!" shouted Rinko.

"You can do it!" followed Sakura.

"Don't let her kick your ass!" said Maika.

"Are you going to prove your training with Kensumaru was pointless?! Am I right or am I wrong?!" said Kirara hiding her concern.

"This match is obviously over. Might as well call it now Asagi-sama" said Rin.

"I wouldn't call him out yet" replied the headmistress.

"He's stubborn, so I'll give him credit for that" Shizuru smiled.

"No Kirara, it was never pointless. All I need is one move but, it has to be done in the right moment. This isn't something I can rush."

Murasaki slowly walked towards the downed student. She admitted he has put quite a fight. It was very different from their last match.

"Come on master, I believe in you. I know you have gotten stronger." thought Tokiko.

"I have to agree with Asagi-sama. Jaune isn't done yet. This match is far from over." Said Saika.

Once Murasaki got closer to the Arc, he immediately got up and went for a surprise attack. It didn't gave her time to use her axe but dodged and suffered another cut on her face. This time, it was on her right cheek but it got healed. Jaune went for another attack but got a kick from his homeroom teacher. He got back up smiling, he actually like how this match has turned out. His aura flaring again, holding his great sword. Once more they were in cross stand off.

Jaune thought of all the training he did in his entire life. His father, Pyrrha, the training from Atlas and of course, the training with Kensumaru. Murasaki eyes widened seeing he was powering up again. Thinking of his family, his friends from Remnant and the one he has made in this world. The blond unleashed another aura shock wave and this time, it was stronger than the last one. It hit the teacher and Taimanin head and it hurt her. She was sent flying hitting the ground hard, and her axe spin crushing the ground not that far.

(Music end)

"Fuck yeah!" cheered Maika.

"Go, Jaune!" followed Sakura.

"Way to go!" said Rinko.

"No way….He did it" said the shocked Kirara yet, she was cheering on the inside.

"Murasaki...He actually did it." Asagi was in awe.

The rest of the teachers were very impressed with the blonds' performance. They just witnessed a student besting a teacher and a veteran. Tokiko and Saika were very proud of the Arc, Shizuru smiled at the display of strength. So he wasn't just drop dead gorgeous but quite strong too. Rin stood in thought, she was also impressed by the power the blond young man has. '

Murasaki was already back on her feet. Her body was dirty. Any wounds she received were already healed. She went to get weapon as her red eyes fell on her student. To think he has gotten so far in only five years.

"What do you say sensei, should we finish this?"

"As you wish."

Asagi's eyes widened when she saw Murasaki doing a very familiar stance. It couldn't be, she was going to use Fushi-no-Jin. She has seen her use this technique many times before and whenever she does, she always reigns victorious. With it she has killed hundreds of demons. Luckily, Jaune wasn't in the radius of the attack so he was safe for now. But if he makes the mistake of getting a few feet closer to her, it will be over.

"Be careful Jaune. You can still find a way to turn this around in your favor."

"What is she doing? Is that...Could it be that technique Kensu warned me about? What was it, Fushi something? If it is then…I'm not done yet sensei."

This could be the opportunity he's been waiting for.

"If evading and coming up with a counter measure isn't working. Then there's this neat trick I came up with. If you use it wisely, you might actually stand a chance against Murasaki Yatsu" grinned Kensumaru.

"What is it?"

"Before I teach you. It requires a lot of focus and time to build up. This is a technique you can't use out of the blue or if she's moving frequently. In order to execute it, she must be standing still. And you have to make sure she doesn't become suspicious of your actions. You do this correctly and you may actually have a chance."

"All right teach me."

"This is the perfect chance to use it."

Concentrating and focusing in using the Kensumaru's power. Meanwhile, Murasaki had no idea what he was doing. That is, until it was too late. A black circle has suddenly appeared on the ground as black chains emerged. The Taimanin gasped as they have engulfed her body. She couldn't move a muscle. Everyone present gasped, not expecting this was going to happen. Sakura, Rinko, Kirara and Maika cheered, while Asagi smiled.

"These chains...I'm can't move…."

Murasaki did her best to break free, using all her strength. To her shock they weren't budging. How could this be possible, were they stronger than her. Jaune remembered Kensumaru telling him that his power will be share with his aura. As long as he keeps using his aura to maintain the dark chains, his teacher will be trapped for as long as he likes. The Undying Taimanin may be very strong but against his insane amount of aura, she was outmatched.

The Arc smiled at the cheering coming from his friends. Tokiko, Saika and Asagi were smiling. While Shizuru was speechless but eventually gave a smile. Rin didn't reacted but she nodded as she was acknowledging that he was strong. He walked over to the trapped young woman before dispelling the chains. Jaune felt the strength coming from Crocea Mors and his shield. This must be the effect of the Magatama inside.

Murasaki was freed but she remained still as her eyes fell on her student. Never realizing her cheeks were flushed and her heart was beating faster than usual. Maybe it was because of the fight or maybe, it was something else. Still, she was impressed he was able to stop her.

"Sensei. I wanted to fight you, so you could witness the results of my training with Kensu. The chains were his power, but I also have more tricks on my sleeve. Still, I hope you haven't change your opinion about me, that I can be a Taimanin too?"

"…..…..."

And to the blonds surprise she gave him that small smile again.

"You have improved, you have gotten stronger, I'm glad. You caught me off guard which, it rarely happens. You are ready. I am standing before a Taimanin."

Jaune smiled trying his hardest not to get emotional. Sakura and Rinko rushed to him hugging him, overjoyed that he succeeded. Maika caught him by surprise punching his shoulder. Not to hard thought but he still felt the pain. Yukikaze gave him a thumbs up hiding her joy but failed as she was blushing. Asagi along with Tokiko and Saika walked over to him giving a smile at his accomplishment. Shizuru and Rin weren't that far.

"Like I said before, you will get your mission. Be ready."

"Thanks sensei."

Murasaki took her axe and walked off. From the corner of her eye she saw Asagi talking to the Arc. That same smile on her features as she was enjoying talking to him. Her cheeks flushed again, jealousy struck again. But something, didn't felt right with her. She was happy and proud of the Arc but at the same time, she was jealous because Asagi was giving him so much of her attention.

Jaune woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. Seriously why does his throat has to get so dry during the after hours. Going to the kitchen he served a big glass of water and drank it in one go. Much better, heading back to his room. Walking the hallway, passing the bathroom his ears caught the sound of the shower running accompanied by some moaning. Thinking he was hearing things, he walked closer to the door of the bathroom.

Yep, he wasn't hearing things someone was using it and she was moaning. Now the Arc knew better than to open the door, respecting anyone's privacy. Blue eyes widened as the door was actually slight opened. Getting closer the moans were sounding louder. The right thing to do will be to close the door and walk away as if nothing happened. But the moans were preventing him from such. And so, the blond did the unthinkable and open it.

"Aw! It feels so good!"

Jaune gulped his face tuning red hearing those hot moans. And the sight before him made him so hard. The woman in the shower and was obviously masturbating and she moderate length brown hair, red eyes and a pair of huge tits that made the Arc's jaw hit the ground. His manhood got even harder and couldn't stop looking. His moral side screamed at him that this wasn't right, he needed to go now. But the arousing side was preventing him from moving.

"I need to go...I have to go before she-"

Too late, blue eyes widened as the hot woman was staring at him. Expecting she will get embarrassed, upset and ready to yell at him to leave, all he got was a seductive smile in return. It got even better when she signaled him to come over and join her in the shower. She licked her lips since his erection through his blue boxers and her body got hotter as she resumed her fingering. Jaune didn't wasted time, she was inviting him for crying out so he wasn't going to turn her down.

Jaune took off his white muscle shirt and boxers. The naked blond opened the door of the shower joining the woman with amazing curves. She pulled him to a passionate kiss with some tongue. The Arc went to fondle her huge tits, then reached to her pussy, fingering and rubbing her clits. She broke the kiss with a loud moan, motivating him to continue. She grabbed his cock, stroking it as he moaned.

The large breasted babe stopped, getting on her knees grabbing his dick between her tits. Going for a tit job while licking the tip. Jaune moaned and grunted, this felt even way better than the tit job illusion Rinko gave him. She followed with putting the tip in her mouth sucking it vigorously. It was too much for the Arc to bear as he climaxed all over her face and part of her breasts. Even with their bodies wet from the shower, she went to lick the cum clean.

When she was done cleaning up the mess he made, the blond made her stand as he went to lick and suck her huge tits. She moaned loudly, it was better than when she licked them. He licked, sucked one then did the same with the other one. He wanted to take it further as he lowered himself reaching her pussy. Jaune went to eat it, licking the outer walls while motivating the clit. The bombshell kept on moaning out of control at the amazing job he was doing. She wanted more and didn't wanted this to end.

The Arc kept rubbing the clit while licking the pussy. Then he went to thrust two fingers inside and licked the clit. The brown haired babe arched her back the pleasure was incredible and she couldn't holding it anymore, climaxing. Jaune's face got hit by the torrent of her nectar. He drank as much as he could, such a fine taste. She was panting yet, she wanted more it was reflected in both of their eyes.

"Please give me your cock. I want your cock now."

The blond replied putting her in front of him so he could have a better look at her hot big ass. His dick was proud and erected, putting it in. He wanted to fuck her standing in the shower, it was such an erotic sight. She moaned from the penetration, she was surprised as he moved her face giving her a kiss. Jaune went to fondle her tits as he started pounding her good. The brown haired woman was moaning a lot and loudly. The Arc was thankful that Tokiko and Saika or any other member of the Fuuma weren't home because, he would be in big trouble if he gets caught.

"Aw! MORE!"

"Oh fuck!"

The Arc increased his speed giving her the good pounding she deserves. Still holding her breasts, her pussy was so good. This sex was even better than the one he had with illusion Asagi. The blond changed position putting her for doggy style. He resumed fucking her while spanking her. The brown haired was going crazy from the pleasure, demanding the blond for more and to go faster. The pleasure was crazy good motivating Jaune to keep going with each thrust.

"Aw! FUCK ME MORE!"

"I'll give it to you more as much as you want!"

Once again he changed position with the busty bombshell, having her stand up and with him lifting her leg resuming his thrusts. They kissed passionately as the speed of the sex was building the pleasure to its peaks. Jaune kept pounding as he was so close for his release.

"AW! I'M CUMMING!"

The Arc only groaned as he released his seed inside her pussy. The impulse of the aftermath was big. Both panting as the shower was still running. Both were panting staring at their eyes, blue meeting red. They kissed once more. After breaking the kiss Jaune was satisfied and shocked that this happened. The brown haired woman has turned off the shower, leaving to cover her hot body with a towel. She gave him a sweet smile.

"Thanks for taking my invitation and keeping me company dear."

"Then...The door being slight opened…." the blond finally put two and two together.

"I did it on purpose. I was waiting for you but then, I couldn't wait any longer and I started without you. Looks like I got your attention."

He nodded maybe he should make introductions after that amazing sex.

"I'm J-"

"I know who you are Jaune Arc. Asagi told me."

"Oh...Okay…" no surprise she knows the Almighty Taimanin.

"But you don't know who I am. I'm Shiranui Mizuki, pleasure to meet you dear" she gave another sweet smile.

"Wait Mizuki…?" bells were ringing in his head.

"Then Yukikaze…."

"She's my daughter."

He stood shocked. This came out of nowhere that she was the girl's mother. And that's not all, she was Shiranui Mizuki. Asagi did mentioned her a few times. She's supposed to be a veteran Taimanin and probably the only one who's on par with the Almighty in strength. This was her. This hot woman with a lewd body. His brain kicked into high gear realizing he just had sex with her.

"See you later. I hope we can get a chance to have a talk."

Jaune just stood in the shower still trying to process what just happened. It should have been dream but it was real.

"What a way to end the day."

After getting dressed, the Arc returned to his room. To think he just had sex with Yukikaze's mom. Maybe he should take a real shower. Seeing his phone on the nightstand he actually thought of checking that magical app Kensumaru made for him. Swiping the device to enter the menu, there it was, he clicked on it. His eyes widened staring at the menu of the app. Now there were more girls on the list. Kirara and Maika were added as well as Shizuru, Rin, Shiranui and to his shock Yukikaze too. The realization suddenly hit him.

"I'm really going to have a harem, aren't I? A harem...My own harem…?"

Then he checked the affection level of each of the Taimanins.

Asagi Igawa-lv2

Sakura Igawa-lv2

Rinko Akiyama-lv2

Kirara Onisaki-lv0

Maika Kamimura lv1

Tokiko Fuuma-lv1

Saika Fuuma-lv1

Shizuru Kousaka-lv1

Rin Uehara-lv1

Shiranui Mizuki-lv1

Yukikaze Mizuki-lv1

Jaune didn't know what to say or think. He was probably the luckiest guy in the world or, he was being punished. Because seriously, he never thought he will have a romance with one girl much less, ten. And there was also the possibility, more Taimanins will be added. He closed the app and turn off the phone decided to go back to bed.

"Kensu, did you punished me or blessed me?"

To be continued

-Here's the first chapter of 2024 enjoy.

-I'd say Shiranui made one hell of a first impression on Jaune lol. It'sobvious why she chose to bang Jaune. She's been lonely since her husband died and obviously she was horny.

-I understand about Jaune being OC but saying that I have written him worse than what RT did is an exaggeration. I'd say he did well against Murasaki on the rematch.

-I know the reason Murasaki can use tentacles is because she fused with Kiryu Sabato but in AT he's alive and he joins the Task Force as medical and research staff. But I decided to make the tentacles as part of the Yatsu blood line along with their ninja art" Immortal Awakened."

-Agent-G: thanks for another long review. I will do my best to explain all of your points:

Aura- it is a shield that protects the wielder from incoming attacks. Eventually it breaks if it takes too many attacks, leaving the wielder wide open. But you already knew that. In Jaune's his aura was not there due to his emotional state. Aura is the manifestation of the soul so having PTSD from killing Penny will affect Jaune's usage of such. However, this is my take since the writers never bother diving more into the topic.

The illusions- the illusion of Asagi and co. by Kensumaru were as real as they come so Jaune lost his virginity. And your second point is understandable. True, he will get embarrassed because he has seen them naked but its better to never speak of it.

The app- I have the feeling you weren't going to like it. I wanted to do it for the reason of keeping the game mechanic and you didn't like that either. The same way I chose to introduce the magatamas. Because they're the keys to buffing your Taimanins and deal lots of damage. However, Jaune will eventually stop relying on the app since he will chose on his own how to approach the group and how to treat them.

The training- understandable that you feel I "degraded" Jaune from his past training experience. But all the experience has helped him become the person he is today. Kensumanru's training was the peak of his experience in becoming a strong fighter. He still held Pyrrha to high regards nothing will change that, as well as other experience like his training in v4 and the training from v7.

Taimanins POV- another valuable point but this one I find it hard to do. Because Jaune is the protagonist of the story and the focus is revolve around him. But slowly the Taimanins will open up to him sooner than you think. Others will be for the sex but they will also open up to him. And I haven't forgotten about Kyousuke and how much he meant to Asagi. It will be brought in time just like Kotarou. Maybe, I might write a chapter from their POV.

Ingrid- I know she's very loyal to Edwin Black and I know she has a moral side because she's a knight. I might end up adding her to the harem along with Noah. Of course with Ingrid, it will take time.

Rewrite- yes I did thought of a rewrite but for now, I want to see how far I can go with this story. I will eventually stop writing at some point since the story of Action Taimanin has only 20 chapters. From those chapters I can probably make 30+ chapters. I'm also be adding some filler chapters because there are a lot of characters I want to develop.

-Anyway, thanks again for the long criticism.

-As always thank you very much for all the favs, follows and reviews I really appreciate it.

Next time: First Mission
