Hello dear readers
I think I forgot to explain about Redcon
I decided to use the silver flame instead of the rose flame because it makes more sense
[Early Morning, Quill and Ink restaurant]
Ren started his second working day at the restaurant. Ren made coffee with all his might, not the crappy coffees that are found everywhere.
It was almost afternoon when a voice caught Ren's attention. There was a young waitress with rabbit ears who fell to the ground, but not by accident, several people beat her because she is a faunus. That there are still faunus working there was strange, but it was true.
At that moment, one of the customers got up and grabbed the waitress's bunny ears, and lifted her up
"What happened? Do you want to go back to the cage?" said the customer
When the customer raised his hand to slap the waitress, Ren grabbed the customer's hand from behind
"Huh?!" said the Customer
"You're only making things worse by doing that," said Ren
Everyone was surprised to see what Ren had done
"What's your problem?" said the Customer
"You are hurting her," said Ren
"They're just a bunch of animals," said the Customer
"I don't call someone who has animal traits an animal, they call someone an animal who doesn't have human qualities like understanding and forgiveness" said Ren
"How dare you," said the customer
The customer freed his hand, went back and picked up a glass bottle, and threw it at Ren, but that bottle was no different from all the chalk that Mr. Ushimaru was throwing at Ren. If the Shujin students were in the restaurant, they would expect a ninja dodge, but there were no Shujin students there. Everyone was speechless when Ren dodged the bottle.
"Y-You- are you huntsman?" asked Customer
"No, I just had a hard life outside the cities," said Ren
Mr. Foster came after hearing the commotion. Mr. Foster saw what had happened
"Didn't you read the rules board? No one is allowed to hurt any Faunus" said Mr. Foster
"Know that one day you will regret it," said the Customer
Then the customer left the restaurant angrily
"You shouldn't have done this, he has authority in the police department and can put you in jail for irrational reasons," said the Waitress
"I don't think he will," said Ren
"What?!" said the Waitress
"Do you believe in miracles? I think one is bound to happen," said Ren
Then Mr. Foster approached Ren
"Your work today is commendable, but it is better that you leave the restaurant today, or in other words, I will give you a mandatory leave so that the situation in the restaurant calms down a bit," said Mr. Foster
Ren went back upstairs and picked up Aura and Morgana's training book and headed toward a park
[Afternoon, a park in the Vale]
"I did not expect such a thing from the boss," said Morgana
"I doubt he will be able to find a coffee maker like me in a few centuries," said Ren
"Good point," said Morgana
After a few hours of training to awaken Aura, Ren, and Morgana conclude that it is useless
"Ren is useless like this," said Morgana
"I agree, it can't be done without Master," said Ren
A few meters away, Ruby was reading a 10,000-page book while walking in the park. Ruby looked like she was being tortured.
"Use code words to communicate between members like Delta 13 Omega 66" Ruby "This is the most stupid book in the world," said Ruby to herself
Seconds later, Ruby hit Ren from behind and they both fell to the ground.
"Oh sir I'm so sorry," said Ruby
Ren sat back and looked at Ruby
"It's okay, a lot of these things happen," said Ren
Ren noticed the large book next to Ruby and read a few lines of the book's contents
"Delta 13 Omega 66?!" said Ren
"Weiss asked me to read this whole book," said Ruby
"Weiss? Who is that?" asked Ren
"Sorry, Weiss is my teammate at Beacon Academy," said Ruby
"And this is the book of codes that he made as a leader?" asked Ren
"No, of course not, I'm the leader of the team, she gave me this book to become a better leader," said Ruby
"Isn't your friend a rich girl?" asked Ren
"How did you know? And yes Weiss the heir to the Schnee dust company," said Ruby
Ren was shocked after hearing Schnee's name
"Now it makes more sense," said Ren
Ruby got up and saw Ren's Aura tutorial
"Are you a student of combat schools?" asked Ruby
"Not really, I was born in a nomadic village that doesn't have much connection with the world, that's why almost nobody in our village knows how to use Aura," said Ren
"Understandable, but how do you survive out there?" asked Ruby
"Using what you're trying to learn, extensive teamwork, and I'm also the leader of a group with 8 members," said Ren
"You are the leader too!" said Ruby
"Yeah," said Ren
The moment Ruby heard the word leader, she remembered that she had to finish that stupid book
"Oh no I have to finish that book," said Ruby
Ren noticed Ruby's distaste for reading that book, so an idea came to his mind
"If you like, I can teach you leadership with almost any board game you want, I myself learned leadership with chess and Shoji," said Ren
"Can you really do this for me?" asked Ruby
"On the condition that you also teach me how to improve Aura in return, would you accept the deal?" asked Ren
"I accept the deal," said Ruby
"That easy!" thought Ren and Morgana
"Alright let me introduce myself, I'm Ren Amamiya and this cat is my best friend, Morgana," said Ren
"Oh excuse me, uhm I'm Ruby Rose and this is my old friend, Crescent Rose," said Ruby
At that moment, Ruby pulled out a big scythe from her back.
Ren and Morgana looked in surprise at the big scythe that Ruby was holding in her hand
"May I start training first?" asked Ruby
"No problem," said Ren
"So first let me measure your skill," said Ruby
"Do whatever you wa... wait what?" shouted Ren
But it was too late, Ruby did a horizontal attack with Crescent Rose and Ren dodged the attack with a Back handspring
"What a great reaction," said Ruby
"Wait..." shouted Ren
Suddenly, Ruby charged Ren again. Using Crescent Rose's shooting ability, Ruby increased her speed and did a backslash, but before she knew it, she felt someone jump on her shoulders. Ruby looked up to find Ren standing on her shoulder.
"Can you finish it?" asked Ren
"With all these skills, you still couldn't activate your Aura!" said Ruby in surprise
"Unfortunately," said Ren
"If I believed in the multiverse, I would say that you came from another world," said Ruby
"So anyway, did I pass or not?" asked Ren
"With a perfect score," said Ruby
"So can you teach me how to use Aura," said Ren
"Sure, I'll activate your Aura now," said Ruby
"Do I need to do a special exercise to activate my Aura?" asked Ren
"If you have someone who can activate it, no you don't, but first, can you get off my shoulders?" asked Ruby
"Oh, sorry," said Ren
Then Ren jumped off the ruby's shoulders with a backflip
"OK, Now it's Aura activation time," said Ruby
Ruby got closer to Ren and put her hands on Ren's face
"Are you activating Aura now?" asked Ren
"Yeah," said Ruby
"It feels a little weird, (and a little embarrassing)" said and thought Ren
"Wow, your spirit is so powerful, I've never seen such a powerful spirit before," said Ruby
After a few moments, Ruby removed her hand from Ren's face
"Is my Aura activated now?" asked Ren
"Fully enabled," said Ruby
"Great, now it's my turn, do you have a board game or should I bring out the chess board?" asked Ren
"Heh heh," laughed Ruby
A few minutes later
"Chess is so boring," said Ruby
"I can teach you with that book if you want," said Ren
"No no, chess is perfect," said Ruby
"One question, have you ever read the manga?" asked Ren
"Manga?" asked Ruby
"Fictional books that narrate the story in an illustrated form," said Ren
"You mean the comic book?" asked Ruby
"Yeah right," said Ren
"Very much," said Ruby
"Then why don't you use your imagination?" asked Ren
"My imagination?" asked Ruby
"Don't look at pieces as a few statues, pieces have an ability, knights are flexible, and bishops are unstoppable, do any of your friends have these qualities?" asked Ren
At that moment, Ruby saw Blake as the knight, Yang instead of the bishops
"You get what I'm saying," said Ren
"But I still don't get what you mean," said Ruby
"Be patient," said Ren
After a few moves, Ren placed the bishop's piece where it seemed aimed at Ruby's knight's piece. Ruby moved the knight piece and fell into Ren's trap, and Ren eliminated the knight with the pawn piece
"The knight is powerful, but it was defeated by a pawn, while it is impossible for a pawn to defeat a knight in a face-to-face battle," said Ren
"It's because of the ridiculous rules of the game that it failed," said Ruby
"It's not because of the ridiculous rules of this game, it's because the pawn with the support of the bishop managed to defeat the horse," said Ren
"Even the strongest can be killed by a simple soldier with a lucky hit," said Ruby
"Exactly, but why wait for luck when we can make it ourselves," said Ren
"The knight has limited movements and you took advantage of it," said Ruby
"Exactly, just like a good leader can make a lucky strike, a bad leader can make his group unlucky, pay attention to the previous position of the knight, if you didn't move the knight, I wouldn't be able to attack it," said Ren
Ruby realized that if she didn't move the knight and Ren attacked the knight, Ren's bishop would be destroyed by the rook.
"That's what leadership means, you shouldn't look for what's written in books, you should know your party and make the next move based on the weaknesses and habits of your enemies and teammates," said Ren
"I…" Ruby couldn't say anything
"I have a feeling you've done this before, right?" asked Ren
Ruby then remembered Team RWBY's first fight with the Nevermore, when they managed to defeat a Nevermore as a team.
"Thank you so much Master," said Ruby
"You're definitely going to call me dad tomorrow," said Ren
"That was a terrible joke," said Ruby angrily
"So don't call me Master so I don't make these jokes," said Ren
"Okay Ren Amamiya," said Ruby
"It got better," said Ren
Ren got up and collected the board and chess pieces and put them in his bag
"Enough for today, but remember this, self-confidence makes the team stronger, but if it turns into pride, it will destroy the team," said Ren seriously
"I'll definitely remember that," said Ruby
At that moment, Ruby heard a voice in her head
"I am thou, thou art I..." said the voice
Ruby felt something strange, like a sense of power
"Are you OK?" asked Ren
"Um, yes, just because of the strange dreams I've been seeing these past few nights, I hear a voice in my head that says a series of incomprehensible sentences," said Ruby
"You'd better go and visit the academy advisor," said Ren
"I already went and now I'm in therapy," said Ruby
"Okay, I have to go now, bye Miss Ruby Rose," said Ren
"Bye Mr. Amamiya," said Ruby
[Team RWBY Dormitory]
Ruby opened the door and entered, but at that moment Weiss appeared in front of Ruby with an angry face
"Where is it?" asked Weiss
"Where is what?" asked Ruby
"Book," said Weiss
"Oh I left it at the park," said Ruby
"You lost the book I gave you," said Weiss angrily
"Weiss that book sucks," said Ruby
"Did I hear you right? You just said that book is useless?" asked Weiss
"Yes," said Ruby
"How did you come to such a stupid conclusion?" shouted Weiss
"Ren told me it was a waste of time to read that book," said Ruby
"Ren?!" shouted Weiss
At that moment, Weiss headed towards Team JNPR's dormitory. Weiss reached the door of JNPR's dormitory but before knocking Ruby stopped Weiss
"I don't mean this Ren," said Ruby
"How many Ren do you know in the whole Vale?" asked Weiss
"I know two," said Ruby
"Well introduce me to him," said Weiss
"Um, I just met him today and I don't know where he lives," said Ruby
"You trust someone you've only known for a day, but not your teammate!" said Weiss
"It's strange, but we agreed that instead of me teaching him how to use Aura, he should also teach me how to lead," said Ruby
"Ruby you are definitely the craziest girl I've ever met," said Weiss
"If you don't mind, let's talk about it tomorrow because this time I hear strange voices in my head," said Ruby
"I think I should find you a good psychiatrist," said Weiss
"I hope it doesn't get there," said Ruby
Ruby laid down on her bed to rest but fell asleep very slowly
[velvet room]
Ruby opened her eyes and found herself back in that strange armory that Igor called the velvet room.
Ruby noticed that instead of Igor, a tall, relatively thin woman with blond hair, and wearing blue World War II military uniforms, was sitting next to Igor's desk.
"I'm sorry but I don't remember you," said Ruby
"Of course, because you met Lavenza before me, I am the master's assistant in your velvet room, Miss Rose, by the way, my name is Susan," said Susan
"So what happened to Miss Lavenza?" asked Ruby
"Lavenza works in the trickster's velvet room," said Susan
"Who is the Trickster?" asked Ruby
"Oh, I thought the master told you, the trickster is actually the owner of the blue flames," said Susan
"So why am I here?" asked Ruby
"To congratulate you, Silver eye," said Susan
"For what?" asked Ruby
"For getting Wild Arcana," said Susan
"When did I get something like this?" asked Ruby
"Didn't you hear the voice of Arcana in your head?" asked Susan
"That voice I heard was not an illusion!" said Ruby surprisingly
"If you remember, the power of the Joker Card becomes stronger with the owner's relationship and personality," said Susan
"I got this arcana when I bonded with Ren, right?" asked Ruby
"Exactly," said Susan
Susan then took out a diary-like notebook from her pocket and opened it. After opening the notebook, images of establishing the bond were displayed
"And what a powerful arcana you got. This power is like the number zero, empty from the outside but infinite from the inside," said Susan
"Why do you keep the details of this power a secret?" asked Ruby
"I'm sorry, but we're out of time," said Susan
"I'm getting more and more confused by the minute" Ruby
"You'll figure it all out soon, but be that sure you are not crazy," Susan
At that moment, Ruby fell asleep again
[Mementos]
Joker and Mona are next to one of the gates of the elaborate dungeon
"So who are you going to change his heart?" asked Mona
"The customer who beat one of the waitresses in the morning," said Joker
"You chose a good subject," said Mona
"Do you think I should try Beomore?" asked Joker
"I was also curious about its power," said Mona
"Let's Go," said Joker
Joker and Mona enter the dungeon. After passing through a dark corridor, you reach a hall similar to the torture room in slasher movies
"Torment, torment you vile animals," said Man demonically
Different types of Faunus were tortured with torture tools such as the non-lethal electric chair, coffin torture, and other horrible torture tools, and they created many horrible scenes.
The man was dressed like a medieval executioner and was holding a double-headed ax
"Who are you two?" asked Man
"Five words, We are the Phantom Thieves," said Mona
"Phantom Thieves? Don't make me laugh, because Phantom Thieves is just a fiction created by White Fang to scare humans," said Man
"Doctor, I don't think there is any hope for the patient to recover, the patient is 100% crazy," said Joker
"How dare you mock your master?" said the man angrily
"I don't remember asking you to be my master," said Joker
"You have a sharp tongue, so tell me with that sharp tongue what you want to do now," said the man
"Actually, I was looking for a test target to test my new power, and I said to myself, what better test target than you," said Joker
"You are so annoying," shouted the man
"I haven't even started yet," said Joker
The man suddenly turned into a half-human, half-vulture monster
"Why the vulture? I'm sick," said Mona
"In the Middle Ages vultures ate live victims who were being tortured," said Joker
"Don't teach me history," said Mona
"You asked yourself," said Joker
"I asked, but why did you answer so quickly?" asked Mona
"Hey, don't ignore me," said the man
"I don't think it will take more than 3 moves," said Joker
Joker's mask disappeared in blue flames and Beomore appeared
"I want to test your strength so start with a normal physical strike," said Joker
"Roger that," said Beomore
Beomore approached the vulture with a speed faster than a magnum bullet and punched him in the face. It was a simple blow, but the vulture creature fainted due to the blow
"I didn't hit him hard," said Beomore
"I know, his level was too low," said Joker
"We need to find a better subject," said Mona
"I agree, but first we better steal his heart," said Joker
Several hours passed and Joker and Mona conquered about 20 dungeons
"Mementos in our world was much harder," said Mona while yawning
Suddenly, a mass of black dust appeared in front of the two Phantom Thieves, and Merchant appeared from the dust
"As long as no one considers you a danger, all dungeons are as easy as this, this time fame is not in your favor," said Merchant
"I'm glad you came because I have some questions for you about Grimm Personas," said Joker
"I think I know what your question is, Grimm Personas are elementless, which means they are only immune to physical attacks and are neither weak nor strong against elementals," said Merchant
"Well, that was one of my questions, the second question is, can I access the Personas of my own world?" asked Joker
"If you have the arcana of this world why not," said Merchant
"So I'm back on the first step," said Joker
"Not completely, because the World arcana works in all worlds, so you can use that Persona," said Merchant
"I know which Persona you mean, but it's very hard to make," said Joker
"You're right, but it's worth it," said Merchant
"It is impossible for me to be indifferent to it, it's resistant to all elements except curse and bless, and after the fight, it will return all my strength," said Joker
"Joker, which Persona do you mean?" asked Mona
"Igor's parting gift to me was World Arcana, which allowed me to use a Persona that could compete with Satanael," said Joker
"Wow, I can't believe that such a persona exists at all," said Mona surprisingly
"Because it is an Ultimate Persona of the previous owner of the wild card, its name is Izanagi No-Okami," said Merchant
"I want to check my arcana," said Joker
"I'm in charge of promoting Personas and buying and selling in this world, but I have no authority over Arcana," said Merchant
"So where should I find out about my Arcanas?" asked Joker
"From the usual place, the velvet room, and I'll tell you before you ask, the entrance is in the real world and I don't know where is it," said Merchant
"Thank you, Merchant," said Joker
"You're welcome," said Merchant
[Ren's Room]
"Usually I'm happy with the loot we find, but this time I'm a little skeptical," said Morgana
Morgana was sitting next to a small hill of dust crystal and Ren was listening to him
"Dust in this world is more valuable than oil, so I don't think we lost," said Ren
"I don't mean to lose, I mean the price of dust has gone up a lot due to the recent thefts and we now have an uncut dust crystal mound 80cm tall and 50cm in radius," said Morgana
"You're right, we need to get rid of these crystals," said Ren
"I think the black market would be the best place," said Morgana
[Tomorrow morning, Beacon Academy training room]
In the training room, Team RWBY and Team JNPR are having a training fight
Nora hits Weiss with her hammer and knocks her back. Yang catches Weiss in the air, places Weiss on the ground, and then starts shooting.
Ruby remembers Ren's words while fighting Jaune. Naturally, Jaune's fighting skills were not even close to Ruby's, so the fight was more in Ruby's favor until Pyrrha intervened in their fight and deflected Ruby's blow with her Spartan shield. Ruby jumped back and looked at the Aura bar monitor and noticed that Team RWBY's Aura status was much lower than Team JNPR's.
"(The situation is not good, how can I change the situation from defeat to victory)" thought Ruby
At that moment, a voice ignited the victory plan in Ruby's head
The voices of Jaune and Nora who were sure of their victory and shouted with pride
"Pride destroys a team, thank you Amamiya" whispered Ruby
Ruby used her semblance to attack Ren (Ren from Team JNPR). Ruby's scythe attacks were in such a way that Ruby doesn't have much power to fight. Ren thought that this was Ruby's last attempt to win so he increased his attacks. Ruby realized that Ren was trapped so she ran to Yang who was fighting Nora.
As Yang and Nora charged toward each other, Ren jumped at Ruby, just as planned.
"Yang, dodge," shouted Ruby
Yang turned towards the sound and after seeing her sister, she realized her younger sister's strange plan.
When Yang dodged to the right, Ruby jumped into the sky using Crescent Rose's firepower, thus Ren was in the path of Nora, who was supposed to throw Yang into the sky like a food fight, but instead of Yang, Ren was thrown into the sky.
"REN!" shouted Nora
"Yang use Ren," said Ruby
"Got it," said Yang with a smile
"Weiss make a path for Yang," said Ruby
Weiss made a Glyphs appear in the sky and then Yang jumped on it. Glyphs turned black and then threw Yang at Ren. Yang grabbed Ren's legs and then spun Ren in the air like Nanchiko and when she got close to the ground she attacked Nora with Ren. Nora first wanted to counterattack, but when she saw Ren's strange face in slow motion, she instinctively stopped her counterattack.
Yang hit Nora with Ren and both Team JNPR members had their Aura Bars depleted
"Ouch this one hurt," said Ruby
"But it was so cool little sister," said Yang
At the same moment, the others realized that Blake was fighting Pyrrha and Jaune alone, but she was not in a very good condition.
"Weiss, when I give you the signal, create an ice platform behind Pyrrha, about 20 cm high," said Ruby
"Do you have another plan?" asked Weiss
"Of course," said Ruby
While attacking Jaune with her sword, Blake was defending Pyrrha's attacks with the scabbard, which was also a sword. Two-to-one was not a fair situation, especially since Pyrrha is known as the best in the whole academy.
"Blake, use Yang," shouted Ruby
Blake looked back to see Yang's eyes red and ready to incapacitate anyone with one hit. Blake understood Ruby's plan, but she wasn't sure if it would work, but on the other hand, she had no other choice.
Blake threw the Gambol Shroud rope at Yang and Yang caught the rope. Blake swung Yang as she approached Pyrrha from the right with great speed. Pyrrha raises her shield to minimize the damage and Jaune tries to get out of range. When Yang got close enough to Pyrrha, Ruby signaled to Weiss and Weiss followed the command.
Yang struck Pyrrha's shield with her left hand. The blow didn't seem powerful, but it caused Pyrrha to take a step back, her foot caught on the small ice platform, and she lost her balance. When Pyrrha lost her balance, her guard opened and at that moment Yang raised her right hand and gave Pyrrha a wink, and then hit Pyrrha with all her strength. Yang's hit causes Pyrrha's Aura bar to become empty.
When Pyrrha was defeated, the rest of Team RWBY glared at Jaune
"So what are you going to do?" asked Yang demonically
Jaune, who was scared, was very quick, dropping his weapons and raising his hand
"I give up," said Jaune
"Ruby please don't tell me that Ren taught you that," said Weiss
"REN!" shouted Nora
Nora grabbed Ren's collar again and started shaking him
"How could you commit such a betrayal?" asked Nora angrily
"Nora, Weiss means another Ren who I met yesterday," said Ruby
"Wow, a boy out of the academy. Tell me a little more about him," said Yang
"Well, I honestly don't know much about him, I know that he's rebellious, makes weird jokes, is smart, and even though he doesn't know how to use Aura, he's a very good fighter," said Ruby
"Sounds like an interesting guy, I'll have to meet him one day," said Yang
While Yang and Ruby were arguing, Weiss made her way to the dormitory without anyone noticing, well not everyone, as Pyrrha noticed the heir's strange expression.
When Weiss entered the dormitory she felt sad and being useless
"Not only could I not become a leader, but I could not even help my leader to become a better leader, maybe father was right," said Weiss to herself
Just as Weiss was berating herself for being ineffective, she felt something strange and then passed out.
When Pyrrha reached the front door of Team RWBY's dormitory, she started knocking
"Weiss, are you there?" asked Pyrrha
Pyrrha waited for a few minutes but received no answer
"Weiss I'm coming," said Pyrrha
When Pyrrha entered the room she was so shocked to see Weiss.
"WEISS" shouted Pyrrha
Well, this chapter is over and in the next chapter, the Phantom Thieves or at least two members of the Phantom Thieves will enter a very dangerous palace.
I think now some people are saying why did Ruby tell Ren that she hears voices when it was the first time
Because she didn't want Ren to think she was crazy
And about the nominal similarity
When Ren or Joker is next to Ren from Team JNPR, I use the name Akira instead of Ren (Akira Amamiya ^_^)
