Chapter 76: Plans Thwarted

~Albus POV~

*Thud*

*Thud*

*Zip*

Packing everything up early in the morning I began to get my truck in order as I saw Blake and Adam come to me Blake was the first to ask, "Ahh… Albus do you have to leave this early? I mean you are leaving at 5:00 A.M.?"

Nodding my head towards Blake as I smirked at her I responded my excitement heard in my words as I responded, "Heck yeah I do! I mean it's not every day to visit the Home of the Faunus Menagerie and its plentiful resources of their Desert from what I heard from the guys that it hasn't been fully investigated. I plan to help them out with that."

Adam smirks a bit at me as he responded in his own words with some confidence behind them to me, "I don't doubt it. I mean you literally created a well-fortified camp with some good defenses. Especially with the new blades you provided our men with a metal I'm not sure is known."

Packing up the last of the few things I needed before heading to Vale to get some last-minute supplies I responded casually to Adam about the material used, "It's called Graphene one of the strongest metals I know. Works best with the materials being carbon-based. Graphene is like 200 times stronger than steel and stiffer than diamond."

They looked at me surprised about the discovery as I continue to finish packing up I further explained the uses for them into weapons, "Hence the reasons I crafted them into melee weapons like a sword Yes? As for graphene, well, it's hard to say as I never made anything so big out of it. But I think it would hold up better because the atomic form of graphene allows it to handle multiple sorts of stress besides compressive."

"Uh…"

"I'm sorry you lost me there…"

Blinking a bit at them I kind of went full alchemist on them with that knowledge combined with my modern world version.

I keep on forgetting not everyone is smart as I am when it comes to elements in chemistry as well as earth minerals within the planet basing it on my own genius level intellect… well more like Edwards's genius.

Hehe…

Perks having what is actually close to a Template Card in those system novels or fanfics since Edward Gate practically uses everything he has experienced as well as knowledge for free without the pesky being compatible with-it percentage.

Hah!

That's a win for me in that regard against Template System Users since I got one for free from TRUTH by offering to trade with my Cursed Energy.

Or I guess it's more on the line of inheritance really since technically if one can do alchemy get Philosopher Stone to offer and boom you instantly get Edward's power and knowledge memory package for free.

No negative side effects like complete mind control or becoming him at all just the added info dump skipping all the trivial matters for free access.

Big brain move on my end.

Free god gems for all in that regard but I learned to just channel my own Aura into my stone for me to freely use.

Oh, right them.

Got to make it simple for them to understand.

Clearing my throat, a bit at them I simply made the simple version for them to understand, "Ahem…! To put it in simple terms they are stronger than any normal weapon they could get is all I wanted to point out."

"Oh…"

My eyes twitched at that was all for a simple oh I get from this.

Sigh…

Truly being a genius is a very underserving task.

*Thud*

"Brr…"

Finishing up the packages and supplies I began to go inside my Truck as I gave my goodbyes to Blake and Adam for the time being as I turn on the engines of my truck, "Still though I wish you guys luck on your end in Vale. Hopefully, when we all meet it would be in Menagerie since I plan to help it out. Hell maybe create a Kingdom under my feats."

Grinning at that the two merely laughed at the idea as Adam was the first to shake his head on that front creating a Kingdom for Faunus, "Haha! Sure if you managed to somehow do that I'll be one of the class combat instructors if that chance arises. Even if it's very unlikely with all the dangers around it."

Blake next responded to me after Adam finished as she also joked around about my claims, "Sure Albus. When you do I'll sign up to the Menagerie Kingdom new Academies."

Grinning I simply nodded as I might do exactly just that.

Like that, I turned on my engine to get some last-minute supplies in Vale in the early mornings as I planned.

Good thing I can keep my contacts with them.

Now the call to adventure awaits the next chapter in my life.

~Mahito POV~

Ahh…

There goes our Cursed King listening in to his claims making Menagerie a Kingdom.

Hmm…

Yes, it would surely be fitting under our king's wishes.

But…

Glancing my eyes at the group of people still asleep while a few guarded watch I see these people are wishing to recruit him into their little circle.

And that girl tailing our King is surely an odd one absorbing what she calls Mana from him is quite peculiar but since no other Curses intervene with her it should be fine to leave her off with him for now.

Who knows she could be our lord guardian from any dangers.

Who am I to judge who's worthy or not but that doesn't matter at this moment.

The main reason I manifest is simply the fact I have the most fueled reasons to be born out of pure hate against Grimm since everyone either fears or hates them the most.

Their negative feelings are potent and powerful enough for me to be awakened at certain times or intervals as I can observe or simply take the soul energy of others (Huntsman/Huntress) to keep myself anchored here in the mortal plane.

Even more, curses are starting to manifest sooner or later given a few years or months depending on the nature of their births.

Although there are currently four ancient Curses of us with me being included.

I Mahito the living embodiment of hate of Grimm as well as other humans and Faunus here and there.

Then there's Hanami the embodiment of living hate of life and punishes those who disrespect or spit at it.

He has one HELL of hate on with the Darkness God oh my.

But he does have his title being the Curse of Earthly Disasters hence his control of earth and plant life.

Next comes Jogo the Curse of Flame Disasters by far the weakest of us I'm afraid as most people in this mortal realm fear Grimm than disasters these days poor Jogo should be manifesting soon in Mantle or Atlas soon enough.

Hahaha!

I can't wait to see how those assholes deal with him and his natural disasters of Volcanoes and earthquakes to come it going to be a hot time for him.

Even though he causes disasters by land though we have the last one by sea.

Although Jogo is the weakest of us he comes a close second to the last of us Dagon which represents the Curse of Flooding essentially nature's version of fear of water such as floods and tsunamis.

Shame those two got the short end of the stick manifesting much later because of the lack of fear they represent.

Sigh…

But what can I say though the people here do seem to hate each other more than outside forces of nature.

Dagon should be appearing in Vacuo through the Dessert area in Remnant.

Shaking my head for a bit see the watchers of those Huntsman groups that are trying to recruit our King I don't want them meeting up as they would most likely try to keep him chained which is a no go for us.

We want a King that's free as much as possible but also as crazy.

He certainly fits the criteria now how do I thwart their plans… hmm…

Glancing around I see more Grimm coming as I scowl at them but smirked seeing the perfect opportunity to distract them.

Sometimes being made out of negative emotions does have its perks.

*Swoosh*

*Thud*

Landing down on the ground softly I simply released my Cursed Energy all out to get everyone's attention within the area.

Well...

More so the Grimm since they noticed me as I jump away and let the Huntsman and Huntresses deal with them.

After all it's their job right who am I to disrespect such an important task?

*SWOOSH*

"ROAR!!"

"Shit…!"

"WE HAVE GRIMM ATTACKING!!"

"We have a Grimm attack prepared to fight!"

"YD you go for that one with BF against the Beowolves!"

"Maria and RP go against the group of Ursa coming forward!"

"Qrow your with me!"

"Where did they suddenly come from and where was that burst of negative emotions!"

Ah…

I like it when something like stupid monster encounters simply ruins everyone's day.

Welp my job here is done seeing my Cursed King is away from them.

All I have to do is keep them distracted for a while making them miss their chance to encounter Albus Burn.

Being like a Ghost does have its perks.

Just make sure they don't die is all since Master's former mentor is with them all.

All in a day's work Mahito.

I simply did a dick move but a good deed for Curse kind is all.

After all, it's what we do.

To mess with the living and have fun while doing it.
