Chapter 70: Attention
~Ozpin POV~
"WHAT!"
My eyes and my senses flared up as I felt an unfamiliar presence I didn't think would emerge here in Vale…
Magic…
My eyes narrowed when I saw over the distance of Vale City above them I couldn't help but something under my nose suddenly appeared.
Is it possible it was her…?
No…
Not even Salem is daring enough to come into Vale so what exactly was that use of power…?
Even though I felt it from a far distance it needs my undivided attention now.
Magic is something of my territory although I guess I should be lucky.
A smile soon appeared through my reflection in the mirror as I talked to myself, "I guess I should send Amber to check it out. After all, she's currently returning after Qrow chaperoning her."
Yes, this might be indeed a good thing that Qrow is with Amber guarding her in the far distance on missions due to Amber traveling around as per our deal.
I wonder how she will react to another magic user.
Possibly even the Spring or Summer Maiden that is missing it could be quite possible indeed that it would be one of the missing Maidens or…
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
Hearing the news as I see my Scroll I saw the name Amber appear as I smirked.
Guess I wasn't the only one to know this Magic User presence.
Even knowing the future thanks to Ms. Xiao Long help it wouldn't hurt to have some extra help around.
But currently, she's sleeping at the port of Vale for tomorrow when she reunites with her sister after so long that my poor dragon certainly needs it.
And the news of Blake Belladonna also coming the same day as my good friend Theodore sending Blake through Vacuo airships.
Although…
Frowning as I look at the far distance of the night sky of the destroyed moon where are the other three…
Jaune Arc.
Weiss Schnee.
And finally… the criminal…
But most of all who's this new magic player around.
….
Sigh…
Shaking my head for now I could only hold my Scroll as I hope Amber and Qrow would find things on their end.

~Blake POV~
"And… there!"
"These should be the last Dust Shipments right?"
"Yeah."
"Ok with these we should be good for the night. Thanks, Vice Captain Belladonna."
"No worries. Anything to help our fellow kind."
Working my butt off as Vice-Captain for Adam I was busy helping secure and transporting supplies to the main base came since we can't do it normally since everyone is getting situated in their homes.
At least this beats sleeping in tents at the very least.
Still, though I have to admit with Albus' help it would've taken us a long time to secure a wall to defend ourselves from the Grimm nightly attacks.
Thankfully Albus told the grunts and members about their needs for the White Fang base materials…
Although I would be very thankful once he pays me back for the Lien, I loan him but he says that he needs to catch the thief that stole his wallet.
As a good friend, it was only right… at least till he can repay me that is.
But still thanks to his help we practically had a lot of free time here considering we managed to secure and create a functional camp to be used at this moment while the branches in Mistral and Mantle are in work in progress.
We can't set up a base in Vacuo because of the desert area and bandits that roam the area but mostly from the locals as they can be very… headstrong about themselves.
Even so, it's one of the places in Remnant that the White Fang couldn't get a home base inside that sandy part and from our reports of other places Mantle might as well join the case with the sudden bigots and haters giving our group trouble.
Sigh…
And there are even some rumors going around that my dad is stepping down from being the leader and face of the White Fang to Sienna his Vice and Body Guard as I couldn't help but growl at this.
Is my dad really weak-minded to not help his fellow brothers and sisters out?
I mean his my dad and all but I know he fights just as hard for every Faunus out there and him stepping down is just a show of weakness to me because of how much he fought for the rights of the White Fang….
And hearing him stepping down only makes me feel angrier about him about the whole idea…
….
Hmm….
Thinking hard on it maybe I should talk to him and ask why he would step down from fighting a great cause giving free rights and freedom to Faunus kind… I hope he gives me a good answer about it.
*Thud*
Huh?
Picking up a sound from someone falling I saw –
"Holy Brothers!"
"Albus what happened to you!"
Coming out from seemingly nowhere was Albus and from the looks of his clothes being trashed, the smell of Dust Powder, notable blood from all over his body dried and some of his eyes widen seeing his condition.
But was noticeable was that some of his body parts or really the pink flowing energy like twin horns shimmer down as he grows paler by the second but has the same smug grin on his face.
What. The. Hell.
The rest of the White Fang members were also surprised to see him in this state as some of their eyes widen in awe and concern.
Getting himself up to clear himself as well as began to speak although from the sound of it extremely tired he spoke, "Haha..ha..ha… Ow… Yeah and hey guys sorry for being late. You know going head first into a group of assassins wasn't exactly one of my best ideas."
Yeah, I can see…
Flinching a bit at how he casually shrugs off mortal and lethal danger with a smug grin on his face I have to wonder if his really sane in the head.
But I'm more concerned with the actual horns glowing off his head as he began to take off the bracelet for whatever reason before he slumped straight down on the ground groaning and then being knocked out cold.
*Thud*
This is certainly one of the weirdest days of my life…
And seeing the twin horns fade out as I have to wonder what exactly is Albus at this point?
From our previous encounters, he smelled human but now smelled something completely else but with a hint of human smell on it.
Shaking my head I began to command some of the grunts to take him to our medical room for an examination to see what the hell did he do.
Sigh…
I think dealing with Albus is somehow harder than going back to Menagerie and talking to my parents.
Oh, brothers give me strength.
