Plans for the Future

After catching fish from the nearby river and gathering stick from around the trees, Adam started a fire to roast his fish. The bull Faunus was lost in thought staring at the dancing flames. looking into the original Adam's memories he confirmed at he was 10 years old. He had 7 years to get strong enough to defend himself against the likes of Cinder, Tyrian, and other hostile characters in this world.

He needed to get stronger. He was in a world that was full of creatures of destruction called the Grimm, a reincarnating Hero chosen by the God of Light, and an immortal angry ex-lover of said hero that wants to end all humanity, and Maidens that hosts of vast natural power that can control elements.

The odds are stacked against him.

Thinking about it for a while, the transmigrant decided to try and connect with his aura. It was already unlocked most likely due to the souls of Juno and Adam fusing together. The quickest way of connecting to your aura is to clear your head and meditate. Sitting down and crossing his legs like a monk he once saw on the television, Adam tried to feel and connect to his aura. Sitting there for 5 minutes he finally connected to it. The first thing he noticed was that the color was different from the cannon. In the cannon, Adam Taurus had a red aura while the one he had now was a mix between red and black. Thinking for a while he realized that the red signified Adam while black was probably his.

The second thing that he noticed was that his aura reserves were massive. Not Hunters and Huntresses massive, but for a 10-year-old child to have this much was incredible. This was also due to the fact that he technically had two souls and since Aura was a manifestation of it, he had a lot of it.

The Faunus didn't need to discover what his semblance is like other Hunters-in-training since he knows that his semblance is called Moonslice. It might be slightly more powerful than in the cannon, but it was to be expected.

If he were to place his current strength at the moment, he would roughly estimate it at around a student in Signal Acadamy that is about to graduate.

Opening his eyes and returning his gaze to the fire, he was once again thinking about the future and the different paths that he will take. Would he become a Huntsman and join Beacon Acadamy? Would he join the White Fang like in the cannon? Or would he join Salem's faction and be under her protection? Putting those thoughts aside for the moment, he needed to complete his current goals before he can start.

His first goal at the moment was to get enough Lien (RWBY's currency) for basic necessities such as food, clothes, and weapons. The second goal is to acquire a sword so that he can use his semblance and also use his sword skills from the time he was Juno. His third goal is to train for about six months. Although he was powerful for his age because of his massive aura, it wasn't enough to go against trained Huntsmans and Huntresses. Adam's last goal, after all other goals were complete, he would need to head towards Menagerie where it would be easier to integrate into the new world especially since he was a Faunus.

Breaking out of his thoughts he grabbed the cooked fish off the fire and started eating. He would finish his plans the next day.

After waking up inside a hollowed out tree so that the Grimm wouldn't be able to find him. Adam set off to make breakfast.

Once he was done eating his roasted fish, the horned Faunus decided to start his training, mornings would be working on his physical strength and physique. Afternoons he would work on training his aura and meditating. He found out that the best way to increase your aura was by meditating and using your aura. Aura was like a muscle and you had to work it out to increase its strength.

After much deliberating, the path that he chose was to start in this new world by joining the White Fang and leave when their protest starts to get violent. Once he left, he would work as a mercenary for a couple of years and join Beacon once the cannon starts. Adam didn't really care if he was messing up the cannon because it would most likely change no matter what he did. All that matters is that he knows his enemy's goals and what they have planned for the most part.

After recuperating from his intense training, Adam was about to get to the river to collect water when all of a sudden there was the sound of a wolf's growl and small twigs breaking. Turning around to look behind him he immediately saw three Beowolves coming in from the tree line. These Beowolves look exactly like they did in the show standing on their hind legs, albeit with a slouch, and are extremely muscular. Their fur was pitch black with a bone-like mask with red markings, as well as the bone-like spikes protruding from their arms, back, and knees. Their hands and feet are also tipped with long, sharp, white claws.

Thankfully, it was a small pack of Beowolves that didn't have an Alpha Beowolf. The bull Faunus was confident that he could take on small Beowolves, he wasn't on a level where he can take on a powerful Alpha.

Tensing his muscles and channeling aura in his body, the Beowolves started to move closer to him. The first Beowolf lunged towards his body with his shape white claws, followed by the second and third Beowolves. Dodging the first Grimm and channeling aura into his clenched fist and bringing to the Grimm's mask before unleashing a devastating punch that created a satisfying cracking noise. The Grimm's body went flying towards the trees and before crashing into the ground. Crouching, it got back up and roared towards Adam through its now cracked mask. Immediately, Adam dodged the two lunging Beowolves before fiercely counter-attacking before they can respond.

With the two Beowolves with now broken masks and laying on the ground, their bodies started to disintegrate into black particles. All that was left was the last Beowolf near the trees. The last Beowolf stood on its powerful hind legs and roared in defiance before lunging at Adam. With a swift and powerful kick from the transmigrator to the Beowolf's arms, leaving left an opening and with it came a powerful aura charged fist to the mask. The last Beowolf slowly fell to the ground and disintegrated into black particles.

With a bit of heavy breathing, Adam reflected on his battle with the Beowolves and realized a few things. One of which was that even though he knew all the Grimm's attacks, he was still inexperienced with actually fighting with them. Another thing is that he desperately needs a weapon to defend himself with. He was lucky that it was only three Beowolves and nothing else.

He decided that the next day he would try and find civilization to acquire a weapon.
