A/N: Yo you all got me back for another round. So came back from vacation last week slept in my bed and the next day I get a sore throat. Asked my mom and she said I caught the flu. And after that the next week sucked. And to put it nicely I curse whoever it was that caused the first outbreak of the flu. Just letting it be know that if that person died then I didn't know. Still my curse stands cause this sucks. So my pain aside hope you dudes had fun with a month of two chapters. And hope you're ready for this months chapters. So lets see what you all left for me in the comments.
Lunar Silver: It's Finn that the Elder attacked first and you'll find the rest of your answers right away dude.
He23t: Oh you haven't seen what Finn's going to do yet.
Dementia found paranoia: Glad you like the story dude and as recommended by an old poll and a lot of PM's this will be a Finn harem fic. But not a conventional one you'll find out why later on.
OMAC001: Oh it'll be a twist on when he gets to OOO.
Lets listen in on how wild our Witchers life is getting.
Frontier Witcher testing room Third person's POV
As Reinhardt turns to face Alan many in the monitoring room are very surprised. Elder Mertens as well as Marry looks on in shock.
Reinhardt had just bashed into Finn with reckless abandonment. Worse off not even checking if Finn wasn't seriously hurt after the impact.
Elder Merten says "That large idiot better not have broken more then an arm."
As Reinhardt steps forward poised to strike at Alan he turns on hearing "Elder Reinhardt I do hope you weren't trying to seriously hurt me."
Emerging from the dust Finn stretches his arms both showing damage from the hit. While most of his body is covered in dust. Finn using his Clan enhancement the moment Reinhardt angled himself.
Thickening his skin as quickly as he could while also covering his chest and organs.
Before Reinhardt could speak Finn jumps up landing onto the Elders large battle armor suite. Finn uses his mods to scan the Elders armor.
Elder Reinhardt reaching for Finn rolls his shoulders trying to grab the Youth.
Finn jumps off landing by Alan telling her to run for cover. As she follows Finn pulls his energy revolvers and fires three hush rounds.
Pretty much they're like tracer rounds that create large blinding spots of light.
Taking cover behind two pillars Alan touches her ear communicator. Alan asks, "What's the plan Mertens we can't reach the platforms unless we can get to the other side of the room?"
Finn says, "Now you want my advice and input?"
Alan says, "Get over yourself Mr. child protégée. You always have to be best so think of something. Cause if I fail so do you."
Finn sighs knowing she's right but also knowing that Elder Reinhardts armor is too mobile. And if attacked on the platform too high off the ground he'll be unable to do anything.
Finn says "If I can use more of hacking touch on his armor I could find the hydraulics most sensitive joints."
Alan says, "What you taking engineer speak too now?"
Finn groans to say "We draw his fire two ways. Letting me get closer and touching his suite. And we find a weak point to slow him down."
Alan huffs to say, "Why didn't you say that then?"
Finn shakes his head, as the two of them emerge running along both sides of Reinhardt.
As energy bolts leave both their weapons Reinhardt simply stands there.
Reinhardt laughs to ask, "Are you two even trying to get away?" Firing more hush rounds Finn gets in close.
With Alan dropping fire from her position while Finn gets closer. Finn touches Reinhardt's armor using his skills along with the mod to sense a weak point.
As the hush lights end the Elder spots Finn kneeling by his leg. As Reinhardt swings his arm Finn jumps only for his leg to be grabbed.
Finn takes hold on the Elders armor arm as Reinhardt attempts to throw Finn away.
Finn however still using hacking touch notices something. Alan watching along with everyone else as Finn is comically holding on. She has a hard time suppressing her chuckles seeing the Elder wave his arm around with Finn clinging to it.
Finn pulls his revolver and fires into Reinhardt's arm. The Elder shakes his head to say "At least try something affective Finn. This is just sad."
Finn charges his revolver to a pressured round. Firing the next two rounds into Reinhardt's arm to get a better scan before finally losing his grip.
Rolling and bouncing once hits the ground. Finn looks at the Elder as he charges his war hammer ready to send an energy wave at Finn.
Finn shouts "Alan right shoulder hit it hard!"
Seeing the exposed joint Alan uses her mods to first send a stream of hot water at the charged energy hammer. As the steam envelops the area blinding his line of sight from the Youths. Reinhardt groans switches his helmets visor to motion tracking.
But his movement stalls as his system tells him external electrical spikes are hitting his armor. Alan throwing electricity bolts right at Reinhardt's exposed armor joint.
Still however doing little to slow the armor clad Elder.
Finn pulls his claymore to encase it with blue energy. Dashing forward Alan stops her attacks due to Reinhardt being able to see her again.
Turning in time Finn catches and twists the Elders attack before him could properly perform the energy attack. Jumping past a wild back swing Finn lands on Reinhardt's back.
Stabbing his sword into the exposed joint as far as it will go. Finn sends a large wave of repulsive mod energy into the joint down the already energy coated blade.
In a violent scene the metal arm to the Elders armor is send flying one way. While Finn and Reinhardt are sent in two other directions.
Hitting the ground hard Finn groans as his hearing rings in the worse way for a solid minute. Even with his toughened skin the pulse that discharged does a number of Finn's chest.
Finn nod doubt cracked or has sore bones. As well as bruises that will form soon too.
With his ears ringing Finn tries to message the white noise away. Sitting on his knees Alan touches Finn arm.
Alan says as he tenses up, "Relax Mertens we won but you might be in trouble."
Taking a moment to process what Alan was saying it finally clicked once his hearing returned.
Finn can't see but from Alan's tone he senses he might be in trouble. Across from them Elder Reinhardt's armor is almost trashed.
The metal arms inside joints and wiring are exposed showing the Elders normal arm in a special casing. But the casing and body glove used shows that Finn's attack has done serious harm to Reinhardt's arm.
The casing is looking very beat up and the Elder has yet to respond to the other Elders calling to him. Finn exhales deeply wonder if he really made the right call.
Unknown person's POV
Looking at Reinhardt out of his armor he looks like most of us. In his late forty or thirties still showing the mild bruises and scar we got from our time as Youths.
But never has a Youth caused such harm to an Elder. Reinhardt's battle suite was designed to withstand powerful explosive strikes. Even a missile launcher would need multiple hits to cause chipping or structure damage.
But that young... Youth Finn grandson to my old friend Elder Mertens.
He's the first in a long while to show both skills in engagement. As well as proving to be a danger the more he learns.
Elder Klitz says, "Mertens your Youth was out of line he has to face punishment!"
Elder Wildz says "Well Reinhardt started it he rammed the guy into a wall. I'm pretty sure he was allowed some payback."
Elder Riglion says, "Not when it causes such harm Wildz. The boy has too much leeway he must be punished."
Elder Marlow asks "And what leeway have we given him. If I remember right Klitz you pressured him to produce a weapon he can't properly use. And even then when he made and used it no one should have been surprised it was a shotgun.
"Can any of us say that we have given Youth Mertens a pass on things he hasn't earned?"
Elder W.D. growls saying "None of us have that kind of pull. But the boy should have been excluded from out ranks during recruiting the moment his disability came to light.
"But we gave Elder Mertens the time she asked. And he proved that he could handle what we asked.
"Even my clan Youth tells me how Youth Mertens has succeeded where I once failed at. Why may I ask are we questioning his standing with us?"
Elder Neeson says, "I agree his place with us isn't why we are talking today. Today we are talking if he should pass the final test?
"I'm casting my vote as yes. The boy choice the mods he believed would help him best. And even I would be pissed having to fight someone in battle armor. The task was simple either they defect Reinhardt or escape.
"And from your own Youth's words Klitz they both believed they couldn't get to the platforms to escape. Due to Reinhardt's suites boosting abilities. And I'm hard pressed from their actions and body language to believe them during the test."
I nod to say "Then its settled Elder Mertens you can inform your Youth that he has passed. And will not be facing punishment."
Elder Merten stands to say, "I knew full well he wasn't in trouble. And those of you who question Finn's skill can put a lid on it.
"I want you to try and experience a world with no sight and see if you like it. We can give our wounded prosthetic limps. Similarly functioning organs but damaged done to the face, skin, and sensitive bone structure are beyond us.
"For my grandson to show such skills shouldn't need to be argued over. If anything you should look at yourself and ask if you're jealous of a blind Youth out shining you.
"Cause if you are you have no place as an Elder."
I shake my head watching the oldest of us leave. Elder Mertens much like her son spoke his mild and was straightforward.
Youth Finn however has taken after his mother. Quiet and calm but still checking all the moves she has even when she knows she has the floor.
Exhaling Elder W.D asks, "Maxson the only other person to show this kind of skill was..."
I cut him off say "Yes the only other person recorded to do this kind of damage was Elder Simon. My the after realm carry his mana in peace."
Elder Klitz huffs as he stands stating, "One day that boy is going to get into real trouble. Trouble that will put us all into danger.
"Then I'd like to see how Elder Merten defends him."
Reinhardt chuckles to say, "You're just mad that Finn once more showed off and proved his is a fighter. Your daughter is much like you Klitz butting heads with a Mertens.
"Even after his fathers passing you passed on your competitive streak. Continuing the legacy of the Mertens and Klitz rivalry."
As the two go back and forth I leave walking with Elders Neeson and Marz.
Elder Marz says, "I won't let my son go down to the surface Elder Maxson."
I look to Marz as she adds "He hasn't had a moment that will humble him to battle. Finn out of all the Youths beside Thomas has been affected by something.
"You can see it too a spark in them that makes them cautious and take in the moment in different ways.
"My son's the opposite his spark is too wild and unbalanced."
I nod to say, "The overseers may have the pool vote of who will be placed for selection. But the deciding vote is my own.
"As such I requested for Elder Riglion and Youths Alan an Finn to head to the surface. But we will wait one month to send them.
"Seeing as those two now are full Witchers they have little to learn from their Clan Elders."
Elder Neeson says, "Klitz will probably pour everything he has into privately training Alan. Knowing that we will be monitoring every report they send back. Alan will no doubt try to please her fathers rivalry."
I nod to say "Either way both of them will push those Youths with their clans final secrets. So for what's to come I hope they are ready."
Elder Mertens POV
Finn exhales as he sits down next to me looking at the urn in front of us. I look to Finn after being told the news. I can see the small moments of him smirking from time to time.
But not enough to be smug just enough times to know it had boosted his ego.
I say, "Finn inside this urn is our mods. Each Clan has their own armor yes but each Clan has their own personnel made mods.
"My father redid these mods and when I first felt it the raw power. It was something truly beyond words... something powerful and deadly.
"My father told me that one day the clans would create another great warrior.
"One that when found would have rare untamed talents, powers, and skills even we could not understand.
"Someone who would truly be special to us and someone who would show great care for us all.
"Not that it's you mind you he just told me to tell this to everyone. Heck I don't even know if a Youth will live up to that kind of fame.
"But regardless he redid these three mods in the hopes that if we ever needed them. That we would be ready for the battles that called for us. You'll need this whole month to not only get use to these mods.
"But to also redesign your fathers armor to how you like."
Finn nods to say "Grandmother I won't let you down I will try and do everything I can."
I slap his head to say "No don't try do what you can or don't. There is no such thing as trying. On the surface back down on our former home trying gets you and others killed..."
Finn nods and I hand him the urn and the injector. Finishing with saying "For the next few days you'll be in here until you can handle the mods. Good luck Finn."
Leaving the room I lock the seven-inch thick door sealing Finn inside. I exhale to say "Whatever divine beings watching us please let him continue to grow and be safe."
Well hoped you liked it and if you didn't well I don't care. Drop me a review and some other fun stuff. I'll see you all later!
