31 Burn!

More time has passed while we are attending beacon, my training seems to have reached a plateau that I can't overcome without battle. My muscles and my aura condensed a little while ago after a training session but now I'm seeing little improvement compared to before.

My semblance "refinement" works based on how much I strain myself but no matter how much I lift or how far I bend it does nothing so I've come to a decision. I need to go back to a martial arts world like kengan or something similar. They have unique training methods that can help me continue to grow. The only thing left that I can practice is several thousand punches a day but I don't have two years for it.

Giyu and Mogana seem to be in a similar predicament as I am, they trained themselves using their worlds and others methods but have also reached a stand still. Among us the only one to improve is Alice though that's only combat wise, cooking wise she stopped improving because this worlds cuisine is basic. After research it was due to Grimm killing any animal in the vicinity therefore fish, cattle, birds, sheep, pork and wild game decreased rapidly. Grimm hunt them down in the wild and they flock towards human settlements which lead them to more animals.

Safe to say we had to endure several Grimm extermination missions because of it. On the plus side the dance happened but it wasn't as dramatic as the show made it out to be. Jaune wore a dress but Pyrrha didn't focus as much on him as canon. I escorted yang and Alice while ren escorted ruby and Nora. RIP Oscar lmao! Ren likes gingerbread cookies it seems. Not that I can judge though, I have Alice the ice cream, the honey bun yang and soon the ham empress herself though she seems to lack the romantic confidence that she has in combat.

The bad guys showed up and slipped off to do their thing. Ruby chased cinder and trashed the computer room (angry vector noises) as their fight was a bit more intense than the original. Ironwood was impressed by her skills so he "inquired" as to where she learned them. Fucking Cookie Monster pointes him right to me, he's a damn stalker who keeps trying to access my personal history but my firewalls and coding is too good for him.

I checked his messages and he's been communicating with atlas scientists to reverse engineer my work so I installed a software update that fries anything that tries to even glimpse at my programs. He then straight up pulled me out of my first class of the day and said "young man I've heard stellar things about you how would you like to join the atlesian military?" "About as much as a sand paper dildo" I replied with a straight face that made the tin man glitch for a second. "Excuse me?" "I'm not interested in atlas, the place is a human elitist shit show filled with pompous and judgemental pricks. Why would I ever want to fight for them let alone be near them?" Again he froze up, I could hear snickering down the hall which allowed me to spot an eavesdropping Goodwitch.

"I can assure you the faunus are given equal writes within atlas" "never said they didn't however their rights aren't the issue. I haven't seen one faunus among your men that came in here which shows me that either they weren't welcome her, they didn't get a chance, they didn't have a reason to join as they knew what's good for them or they are MIA/KIA frequently. That's the military never mind the population so again no thanks general. Now if you'll excuse me I need some fresh air, it smells of hypocrisy here" and like that I walked away as his trigger finger began spawning.

I walked down the hallway to see goodwitch laughing then quickly calming herself. "And where do you think your going young man?" "Oh I'm sorry I'm pretty sure you heard me saying it smelled like hypocrisy. Your ear was so close to the ground I'm surprised a vehicle didn't run you over. Who knows maybe someone would drop a house on you. Anyway bye~" I quickly said before walking away as she snapped her riding crop.

I then took a (not very) quick dump that would make Yami proud before heading to my combat class. What's that? Combat class is at the end of the day and you just left your first class? Don't know what your talking about. When Weiss questioned me I simply told her a black cat crossed my path, then an old hag broke her riding crop so I had to help her, then I got stuck in traffic, then I had to surpass my limit and finally I got lost on the path of life. Safe to say everyone in the room had a vein bulging because of my bullshit.

Glynda..... if looks could kill you would have murdered my 13 generations. so I sat down and let the others have their spars and discuss weaponry until sasuke I mean mercury got onto the stage. "I want to fight the strongest guy in here" he declared which made everyone's head turn towards me. So I stood up from my chair making it squeak due to the sudden weight shift "that'd be me". He grinned while the others gave him looks of pity. I could see cinder and emerald confused about the looks that even the teacher shared. She signalled emerald to inquire as to why so emerald asked ruby.

"Hey ruby why is everyone giving him that look?" "Weeeeel it's because Logan might kill him in a punch" "what?!?! Does he have an attack semblance or something???" Ruby then sighed and looked down "no... first rule of Logan's training" then began to shudder "hhhey are you alright why are you like that?!?" "Second rule of Logan's training". Emerald then became very worried.

As Logan reaches the stage he began rolling up his sleeves so mercury decided to shit talk him. "Aww I was expecting a challenge like the redhead not kung fu panda, tell me do those stairs make you cry everyday or is that just your reflection in the mirror" he said with a cheeky smirk on his face as he pranced around on his feet warming up.

"Oh? It looks like I'll have to teach you the pecking order." The students shivered again while yang, Alice and Pyrrha crosses their legs. "The wha?" Mercury tried to ask before his instinct kicked in from years of assassination training forcing him to move back and lean to the side. A smooth cut grew on his cheek and began bleeding. He looked at Logan who was just pulling his fist back from a jab.

"Hmmm not bad for a maggot".
