The next day passed and it was pretty alright, my team, team Mafy, Jnpr, and Grws were almost late for class, and a blowup between teammates in Grws had happened when Weiss fought the what's it called again? Beowolf? Alpha? Looks like me and the thieves have to go to the library and have a study session soon.
Weiss looks sad and Guilty at having to watch her blow up at Ruby again she likes to think that she has changed a lot since the beginning of Beacon.
Yang:" I heard some rumors about clubs shortly."
Akira:" Oh? What clubs are they offering?"
Yang:" A few that I heard are a boxing club, a fencing club, a chess club, a dancing club, an art club, a cooking club, a gardening club, and a few others. Which one would you Join leader?"
Akira:" Dancing Club."
Yang:" Woah, there was Zero hesitation there, but I like that. So you like to dance huh?"
Akira:" Oh I love to dance, it was one of the few things that I could do for entertainment back home…other than fight of course."
Yang:" What? Did you grow up in a small town? Or something?"
Akira:" Oh very small, there were a bit more than a thousand people that lived there."
Yang:" Woah, that truly is small."
Akira:" Yep and I hated it there, there was pretty much nothing to do there outside of fighting, going to the theatre, going to the gym, and going to the cinema."
Yusuke:" Really? Was that all?"
Akira:" Pretty much. There was a nearby town that I'd go to from time to time but it wasn't very often. But I've always loved the theatre and cinema. I had spent so much time over there that I considered them my second homes."
Minako:" But what about your parents?"
Akira:" They worked overseas a lot they had never let me leave even if I begged them to take me with them even if I begged, although I had from time to time I'd sneak into their car when they were about to leave, and I revealed myself when they were forced to take me with them."
Yang:" Oh? That sounds like fun."
Yang was reminded of when she had snuck both her and Ruby to find her mom unbenounced to Yang an angry-looking frown had spread across her face.
Ren:" Are you alright Yang?"
Yang:" Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Why are you asking?"
Ren:" You just looked like you were in thought about something important."
Yang:" Oh, I see well I didn't mean to I was just…thinking of something annoying that's all."
Akira:" Yeah it was, I just had to use my cute baby eyes and cutely suggest that we could have family bonding time, and my mom would melt and I'd avoid punishment."
Ruby:"…Woah that's kind of scary."
Akira:" Meh you could see it like that, but I've always wanted to get the hell out of there. It was just too damn unbearable and I needed to initiate a plan to leave."
After school*
Me, Minako, and the Phantom thieves had gone to the library to look for information about Remnant.
Ryuji:" Why are we here exactly?"
Makoto:" We know nothing about Remnant so we should study it, it'd be bad if we can't identify basic facts."
Akira:" Makoto's Right we need to know the basics of Remnant before we progress."
Ryuji:" *Sigh* Yeah, you're right alright let's get this over with."
Akira grabs a book called "Types of Semblances", "the basics of Aura", and a book called "How to Build a Weapon Like a Pro." everyone else grabs books they think will be important or helpful
Yang:" Oh gods! Please don't tell me we are going to watch a studying session."
The screen fades to black and fades back in.
Ryuji:" So let's start with our leader, What did you learn Akira?"
Akira:" Well I learned that aura is something that everyone has including us, Aura is a manifestation of our souls. And it essentially acts like a shield."
Jaune had thought to himself.
Jaune:" He was able to condense it better than Phyyra."
Ryuji:" Wait, but Shouldn't we not have access to Aura? Wouldn't our personas take the place of our Aura?"
Morgana:" That's a good question, especially for you Ryuji, But no. A persona is an armor that's born from your heart, the heart and soul are not the same things so in short a persona and aura can be held at the same time. Did you find any other information about Aura?"
Akira:" Yes. You have to awake to your Aura, which is kind of similar to Awakening to a Persona. Each person's Aura has a different Aura colour. The amount of Aura and how fast it can regenerate depends on the person."
Ann:" But how is it used? And how is it Awakend?"
Akira:" It can be used for both offense and defense you awake to Aura through training and willpower however, you can use aura to make anything a weapon."
Ryuji:" I, uh don't get it. How does someone unlock their Aura? And what does it mean by "almost anything can become a weapon?"
Akira:" It says that Unlocking Aura can happen in one of two ways, someone else can unlock your Aura or you can unlock it yourself.
Akira:" Although this book has a side note that says Grimm attacks and bullying happen to be the most common way of awakening to both Semblances and Aura."
Ryuji:" How do we Unlock them though?"
Akira:" The book states that there isn't a guaranteed way of unlocking them, so in short it's random and different for everyone when they Awake to their Aura and Semblance."
Ryuji:" Ugh that's so much to remember."
Akira:" Try and remember it like this, Aura is a shield that can be used for both defense and offense, but it is also able to tank hits for you like how Zio skills don't affect Seiten Taisei or William, and just like a persona it has to be awakened before you could use it."
Ryuji:" Oh, I kinda get it now."
Makoto:" You brought up a thing called a semblance, what is that?"
Akira:" A semblance is a unique skill that's exclusive to one person think of it as a unique individual superpower, however, it also says that some people have similar semblances to their parents."
Ann:" I wonder, can we can have a semblance?"
Akira:" Yeah we can, I've already unlocked my semblance, and by extension my Aura."
Yusuke:" Wow, impressive as always Akira, we can always count on you."
Minako:" Well what is it? What does it do?"
Akira:" It slows down time for a few seconds."
Ryuji:" Holy shit! That will be useful."
Makoto:" Hey Morgana. Do you know if the metaverse is here in Remnant?"
Morgana:" I don't know, but considering that the metaverse is born from the collective unconscious as long as humans exist so will the metaverse in one way or another."
Ann:" Why don't we check our phones?"
Everyone had paused, it just dawned on them. They had never checked their phones not from the moment they stepped foot on Remnant and everyone had felt stupid.
Akira: "No dice, I can't even get any service, tch not that I'm surprised. What about you guys?"
Pt's:" Same our phones are pretty much useless."
Minako and I see the Velvet room door form and we walk inside it.
Igor:" Welcome to the Velvet room."
I look down and notice that me and Minako don't have any prison uniforms on.
Akira:" Why are we here Igor?"
Igor:" Strait to the point I see, well I called you here because Your equipment is ready."
Akira:" Equipment? We didn't ask for any equipment."
Igor just snaps his finger and Lavenza gives us 9 weird-looking devices mine has two white sticks that have a red and black colour combo there was a yellow diamond shape in the middle.
Akira:" What is this Igor?"
Lavenza:" It's called a scroll. It will function as your cell phone back on Earth. To start simply press the diamond."
I press the Diamond and the sticks shoot out as a holographic screen boots up."
On the screen was a picture of me with my ID and my basic information.
Akira:" What the? My ID?" I looked over to Minako she had a similar device except her stinks were Pink Minako's scroll had also shown the same information about her.
Igor:" As you can see, those scrolls contain your information I wanted to give them to you earlier, however, I certainly didn't expect you to get into Beacon so fast."
Lavenza:" Trickster, the color on your scrolls will correlate to each one of your teammates, those scrolls also contain the ID of your teammates both of the thieves and your school team. One more thing, even though this time for both of you even though both of you don't need any assistance from us, you can still visit us for our assistance anytime you want."
Akira:" Thank you Lavenza, let's go Minako."
Both of them leave the velvet room and they return to the library.
Ryuji:" Hey man, you alright?"
Akira:" Yeah I am, speaking of which."
The screen fades to black.
Yusuke:" So this "scroll" is a much more advanced version of a cell phone."
Makoto:" Let's get back to our studying guys."
Akira:" John Winchester? Who's that?"
Makoto:" Oh, John Winchester is a very rich, and important man he was the leader of the Vale military for years before he ended up retiring and becoming a statesman which he still is to this day."
Jaune:" Well that certainly explains the ego he has."
Blake:" So he's just another loser that had successful parents and Rid off their coattails."
Ozpin:" As much as I hate to say it that's certainly true, I witnessed a lot of people like that during my lifetime."
Weiss has one thought "I am so glad that I am not like that anymore."
Ryuji opens his bright yellow scroll and sees a Familiar app on it.
Ryuji:" For real?!"
Futaba:" What's with that reaction Ryuji?"
Ryuji shows them his scroll. "it's the Nav. Let's check out mementos."
Akira:" I'm not sure that's a good idea."
Morgana:" Actually, I agree with Ryuji. I want to check out if the metaverse in Remnant is too different from the metaverse from last year and besides, nobody's in the library."
Akira:"…Very well let's go."
A red and black bubble appears on the screen and after the bubbles leave the screen, everyone appears in their Phantom Thief attire, and the moviegoers see a few subway card readers.
Yusuke:" It's getting pretty late, we should probably reconvene tomorrow."
Akira:" Yeah it is pretty late, let's go and wrap this up for tonight."
Everyone exited the Metaverse, and Morgana, Minako, Ryuji, and Akira returned to their dorm.
The next day in the Library*
We had been in the Library for a few hours studying about the Four Kingdoms.
Ryuji:" How about we go to Mementos?"
Minako:" Why mementos?"
Akira:" No Ryuji. We have no targets in mementos nor do we need any money."
Ryuji:" Well, what are we supposed to do?"
Akira got a text from Yang. "Hey Leader! Wanna go out to Vale together?"
A thought bubble appears on the screen. "Should I hang out with Yang?"
Akira texts Yang back "Sure."
Yang Texts back "Great meet me at the Fountain."
When Yang and I arrived at Vale we went around town and for a few hours, Picked up a few extra magazines and dust after all that we went to a cafè.
Yang:" This place is Amazing, I know you'd love it here."
Yang:" Ohh! I hope we go to Très dègoûtant."
Ruby:" T-T-Tès? What?"
Weiss:" Oh? I loved when Klein would get and eat Très dégoûtant with me when I was a little kid, but my second favorite place was Dents de Coq although it was shut down a little while ago."
Akira:" I hope so nothing will beat another cafè I used to go to, it was called Leblanc."
Yang:" Leblanc? I'll try to drop when I can then."
Akira:" You'd love it, I recommend the house blend coffee with curry."
Yang:" Coffee and curry? I do like coffee although I've never had curry before."
Akira:" Oh? I can make some for you, I learned from the man who runs the place, he goes by boss."
Yang:" Ahh, that makes sense."
Akira:" Although I should say that, my cooking isn't as good as his."
Me and Yang continue making small talk for a few hours.
Yang:" Y'know Akira, I enjoyed our conversation we should do this again soon."
Akira:" I'd love to Yang."
The screen turns black and Lavenza speaks.
I am thou... Thou art I...
Thou hast acquired a new vow...
It shall become the wings of rebellion.
That breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of The Chariot Persona.
I have obtained the winds of blessing that
shall lead to freedom and new power..
Yang:" The chariot huh? That girl, Velvet? I believe her name was told me I fit that card well."
Ruby:" Yeah, she loves tarot cards."
Yang:" Oh shoot we've got to get going soon the bullheads are closing soon."
