Amber was not in a good mood. Ironwood tried to stop her as if he controlled her life. Ozpin might have told her she shouldn't leave, but he never got physical, but Ironwood did.
As Amber rode the elevator back to the ground floor, Ozpin and the others were still in the vault. Shocked would be an understatement of what they were feeling. After Amber pushed Ironwood, she used her speed to head to the elevator without anyone realizing it, as she moved too fast.
Glynda said, "What just happened? How did she move that fast?"
Qrow added, "And her strength. She wasn't that strong before. Her motor functions are working optimally for someone who should have been in a coma."
Ozpin said, "I'm curious. How did Mr. Arc help her through his dreams? I can't think of a logical way that would work, even if we see semblances break physics. The only explanation would be something like magic."
Qrow became somewhat sober, saying, "You can't mean he has a Maiden's power or something similar."
Ozpin shook his head and said, "It isn't something like the Maiden's power, that's for sure. The power of the Maiden is only control over the elements. To heal someone with Miss Amber's affliction, you would need more potent magic and magic knowledge. I may know but do not have the required magic."
He turned to Glynda and asked, "Do you know what Mr. Arc's semblance might be?"
Glynda shook her head, "I don't know. He hasn't shown anything that would say it's a semblance."
Glynda never mentioned the incident with Neptune. She didn't want Jaune to be on Ozpin's radar more than he was after he faked his way in. She knew, and she helped him get in. She always believed Jaune had what it took to be a Huntsman, but he needed to be pushed in the right direction.
Amber was on her way to the bullhead that was about to leave. She didn't have her weapon with her, but thanks to Jaune's Dreamscape, her control over her magic was much more potent, even if she only had half. Plus, she has added many of the stats to the Mana stat, causing her Magic to increase exponentially.
Amber grumbled, "It's a shame that the Bag of Holding Jaune gave me is with him. Well, it's fine. I get to meet him in person. I would still be stuck in that machine if it weren't for him. Though it was keeping me alive, that's all. I don't want to live a life where I am stuck inside a machine forever."
In Menagerie, Blake was heading home when she noticed someone following her. She pretended not to notice. She wanted to catch the person and ask what they were after. It wasn't that difficult to trick the person. She turned in one of the corners, and when the person following turned the corner, Blake was gone.
Or it seems.
From behind the stalker, Blake grabbed the cloak and saw who it was. She said, "Sun! What are you doing following me?"
Sun scratched the back of his head and said, "Ever since the incident with Neptune, I haven't been able to speak to you. I saw you board the bullhead and wanted to speak to you. So, I may have followed you here since I couldn't gather the courage to approach you."
Blake rolled her eyes and said, "What do you want, Sun?"
Sun smiled and said, "Ever since the dance, I thought we were compatible. So, I wanted to ask you out on a date."
Blake sighed, shook her head, and said, "I'm sorry, Sun, but I'm already seeing someone. And even if I wasn't, you're not my type. You are literally the walking prejudice of Faunus kind."
Sun was shocked, "Seriously!"
Blake replied, "Yes, Sun. Anyway, I have to go. I haven't seen my parents in years. They're probably worried sick about me after I left to join the Fang when it became violent."
Sun sighed. He never had a chance with her, "Well, I'll leave. I don't want to interrupt your reunion with your parents."
Blake did not say anything but looked at Sun's retreating back. It was then Sun realized. There is no way to get back to Beacon for a few days.
So, he returned to Blake, saying, "I don't have a place to stay, and bullhead to Vale is in two days."
Blake was annoyed, which caused her to sigh and say, "Fine, you can come with me and stay for a few days."
Sun was about to hug Blake, but he saw a sword in his throat, "Got it, no hugging. Still, I want to know who the lucky guy is."
Blake said, "Since you are still around, you'll hear me mention it since I plan to tell my parents about it."
The second person that was following Blake was still on her tail. The wind blew, and a red hair and a horn was seen.
Jaune sat across from Pyrrha's father and grandfather in the Arc Manor. They chased Jaune for a few hours but eventually stopped.
Jaune asked them, "What would it take for you to accept my relationship with Pyrrha and the others?"
Epimetheus huffed and said, "You want to continue your relationship with my daughter the way it is now? With her and six other girls. Then you must show me you can protect her and the others. Beat me in a fight, and I'll accept your relationship as it is and keep the engagement.
Jaune was surprised and said, "Is that all? Great! Let's do this!"
Pyrrha facepalmed at her father's statement. She knew that something like this was going to happen. Her father was a battle junkie. The only problem, he would be facing Jaune Arc.
Not wanting Vulcan and Epimetheus to complain later, he said, "Come! Both of you at once!"
Vulcan said, "You're quite arrogant, thinking you could beat us."
What happened next could not even be called a fight. Jaune manhandled two old men like a ragdoll. Jaune quickly predicted their attacks, and it was only a single strike to the head to knock them out.
With Jaune's magic, he used a simple spell. It was a spell to stimulate the body to awaken or keep them going when sleepy.
Without Jaune knowing, Joan pulled the girls away as she wanted to speak to them.
Joan smiled and said, "So, your relationship with Jaune is official?"
Nora said, "Yup! We spoke and told him how we felt. He accepted us and gave us a kiss. Though, Yang made Jaune grope her ass instead of getting a kiss. It was a good day! And now, Pyrrha is engaged to Jaune. It's a wonderful day! The harem is proceeding nicely!"
Joan laughed and said, "It seems I don't have to worry about you guys anymore. Everything is going smoothly for you guys."
Jason was about to leave them to do as they pleased, but she remembered something, "Oh, I have a question for you. The veggies that Jaune gave me to feed the girls. What is it? My daughters have become strong."
Nora explained the different types of veggies that she ate. This shocked Joan as she had never heard of such veggies. If it were sold in the market, its demand would be huge."
Nora shook her head and said, "Jaune doesn't want to make it public. Something about it causing chaos.?"'
Joan replied, "He is not wrong. Unsightly people would covet those things. It would be much too dangerous. However, you all have grown tremendously."
Weiss has arrived at Atlas without issue. As she arrived at the Schnee Manor, her mother greeted her, drinking a bottle of wine. This is it. This is when she asks her about the truth of the matter. She wanted to know how much her mother had helped her over the years.
Weiss took a deep breath and said, "Mother, may I speak with you privately."
Willow Schnee was shocked that Weiss took the initiative to speak with her. In the past, Weiss would avoid her like the plague. But this time, Weiss approached her. It made her very happy.
Once they arrived in a room with no one around. Weiss said, "Over the years, I want to know how much you've helped me."
Willow said, "Does it matter how much I've helped you?"
Weiss said, "It does! Especially when I hated you because I thought you didn't care! Only recently did I figure out how much you are willing to tolerate Father to help us, help us get away from him! When I said I wanted to become a Huntress and attend Beacon, how much did you have to suffer? Yet, I acted cold and indifferent after I saw you with bruises."
Willow said, "All that matters is that you are happy."
Weiss repeated, "How much suffering did you have to endure, Mother?"
Willow did not want to tell her daughter as she did not want her to worry, but the way Weiss looked at her made her relent, saying, "When I heard you wanted to enter Beacon, I did my best to persuade your Father to allow it. I took a few beatings before he decided to listen to what I had to say. I gave him many good bogus points about you making connections at Beacon to expand his influence. But all I ever wanted was for you to forge your own path. One that would bring you happiness."
After hearing what her mother said, Weiss was in tears. She rushed to her mother and hugged her, and apologized for all the times she was harsh.
Willow wiped her daughter's tears and said, "Come now, Wiess—enough tears. Tell me about Beacon. Is it as amazing as you thought it would be? And did you find your special someone?"
Weiss said, "It was more amazing than I ever realized. I made many friends who saw me for who I am, not what my name entails. There were some bumpy roads since I was pretty high-strung in the beginning, as for a special someone. There was this one person at the beginning of the year that was pestering me a lot for dates. I thought he was after my name. I was so wrong.
When I was enamored by Neptune, I thought he was the perfect man, but that was not the case. When I asked him to the Beacon dance, he rejected me for a stupid reason. It was because he couldn't dance. It took the guy that pestered me for dates to get him to dance with me."
Willow said, "Oh, my. He did not use that chance to get a date with you?"
Weiss shook her head, saying, "He did not. He thought that it would make me happy to be with Neptune. So, he backed down and helped me get that dance. However, when me and Neptune were going on a date, he ditched me. The next day, he found out what Neptune did. He got angry."
Willow said, "Let me guess, he beat up Neptune."
Weiss laughed, saying, "Indeed he did. He did so in a way that showed dominance. Neptune was incapable of retaliating. Jaune was merely too strong for him. At that time, our friend asked Jaune if he would ask me out. But he said he would not use my time of need as an advantage to win my heart. It was then that I realized just how amazing Jaune is. I thought to myself. 'Why did I choose Neptune over him?' One thing led to another, and I am dating him and my six other friends.
Willow nodded her head before saying, "Eh?"
