Chapter 141: Dance Night (3)

Chapter 141: Dance Night (3)

~Jack POV~

Before things could escalate any further Ren the voice of reason began to speak out to everyone present, "Ok before things go to hell. Ahem. Do any of you want to simply share a dance with him if so, raise your hands?"

What the fuck?

Glancing over to Team RWBY and Pyrrha they all raised their hands as I acted really shocked at this, "What! You all want – "

Before I could finish Nora quickly shushed me placing her hand over my mouth with a shit-eating grin on her face, "Shush fearless leader! I want to see how your love life plays out."

What the hell!

This is insubordination!

Treason!

Betrayal!

What the hell they are turning my life into a rom com sit com or harem protagonist route?!

Seeing them all raise their hands Ruby was surprised to see Blake but Yang I kind of expected with a shit-eating grin just stirring up the pot, "Hmm…? I seem to recall mister playboy over here owing me a date since he got one through Ruby. Shouldn't I get first priority?"

*CLASH*

As if looks could kill Weiss, Pyrrha, and Blake glared at Yang from behind while she smirks happily in victory… wait a second?

Blinking in confusion I notice… a blush?

Ok, now I have to know this is an imposter.

Yang is being sus.

Breaking out of Nora's grip I began to question Yang directly with Ren being the overseer here, "Wait. I know I promised you, Yang, to date but… well… do you actually have an interest in me?"

At this, she acts no is bashful with everyone gazing at her Yang places her fingertips together responding with clear honesty, "Well… what really made the deal is when you did the impossible. You brought back our missing mom and a lot more. After reviewing everything we, have gone through I… I couldn't help but fall for you and everything. At the very least I want… to try us and with Ruby giving the ok I was wondering if it was ok? And I guess I'm not the only one, right?"

The girls soon nodded at the idea, but some clearly had a disagreement but glanced at me before they all nodded.

I…

I…

I really don't know how to respond to this because I have never been through this situation before.

But… why does breaking their hearts makes me feel like complete shit when the idea of denying them of the chance… all of them for that matter.

Breathing in and out I hear Ren out of the option for the dance saving my love life with him having a chin to his hand, "Hmm… seems like it's just as bad as I thought. In that case, would you all be agreeing if Jack were to agree to share one dance with all of you or with his clones?"

"No."

I respond to that with Nora releasing me as I respond to Ren for the main reason why I personally dislike the idea, "I can agree to share a dance with all of you. But no way I'm giving you a clone to dance with. Even if I get the memory of it, I will know it wasn't really me. No way I'm giving you all a cheap copy when I can be there myself."

Never did like how Naruto used his <Shadow Clones> to send himself for his kid's birthday and not the man himself.

He could've just had his clones do his work while he enjoys with his family but no he was dumb to choose work over family.

I won't make that mistake like him.

However, it was already too late for me to back out with Yang grinning in victory with the other girls, dismay but ultimately agreed, "Alright playboy you just landed us all a date for the dance. I'll get our dresses ready boy charming. You caught it all on camera Penny?"

I just froze to what I just agreed.

Soon enough Penny comes up agreeing with a happy smile with a Scroll recording it all for proof, "Yup! I caught it all on tape Yang! Oh, the joy I get to dance like a real girl! Will see you later Jack!"

Did...

Did I just got fucking blackmailed or exposed?!

Soon enough the girls soon nodded in agreement to see how this harem thing will work out with Ren and Nora standing beside me with Nora patting my back, "Sigh… you really are a bi too kind leader. Getting a bunch of girls to follow you… if you ever have a wedding, I want to be the bride's maid!"

Next Ren soon dragged me as he sighed to himself while I listen to him making me shiver in fear, "Sigh… I have my work cut out for me to teach you to dance friend. But no worries I can make a dancer out of you yet."

Why me…

Like that, I was soon dragged away with tears running out from my face…

What happened to my normal school life turned harem school life?

What would've given to have a normal RWBY plot point right about now?

Sigh…

Well, at least 2B is working on creating that Power Ring I copied from Jessica to create my own version thanks to <Mechanical King> giving me a blueprint to create a cosmic-like weapon for me to use.

At least Dimensional Travel is an option… if it ever gets completed.

Hmm…

I wonder if I should let my RWBY meet the OG cast when I have the Power Ring operational?

Could do for a nice training arc honestly.

~Third POV~

Elsewhere inside Beacon Academy Headmaster Room Qrow personally discussed everything he knew about what happened on Jack's island with the Rose Family along with pieces of important info darkening their eyes listening.

Ironwood, Ozpin, and Glynda all three had unreadable expressions on their faces when they heard the info, especially about the fact that Salem's immortality was brought up to them making Ozpin freeze at this.

Ironwood was the first to speak out to Qrow wanting confirmation about this in a steel tone, "Sigh… Qrow is what you said true? Everything that happened true including Salem creating a new means to hunt Silver Eyed warriors?"

Nodding being sober for this Qrow confirmed it with Summer when he asked her about the info while she agrees to some of them, she couldn't remember all as it caused her PTSD which made Qrow stop asking any further.

Next to speak was Glynda as she began to voice her concern to Ozpin about Salem's existence being known to Ruby and Jack, "Sigh… those poor children… they had to learn the hard way of Salem's existence through one of their mothers, memories. I dread for their conditions of learning of her…"

Ironwood returning to his serious self-began to question Ozpin about Lionheart being a traitor with a serious tone, "Oz… if what Qrow says is true what shall we do when Lionheart and Theodore arrive in Vale? And what do we do against Salem? Isn't this an impossible task if she can heal because of her immortality."

Listening to the info given Qrow voices out another option which catches Ozpin by complete surprise never thought about it before, "Heh? Well, the kid Jack, right? He mentions if we had a way to seal Salem. It may be pointless to kill her but… if we can trap her permeant sealing her away it is possible to stop her in a sense."

Overhearing Qrow's response Ozpin soon began to realize something before he mouths out in a surprised tone, "Sealing her… yes… then…"

Hearing this Glynda gets close to Ozpin concerned when he saw some light in his eyes flicker a bit with a smile, "Sir…? Are you alright it seems like you just had an idea there?"

Lifting his head towards everyone Ozpin began to think of a way to plan to seal Salem thanks to the advice Qrow gave out, "Perhaps… Since beating her won't do the next case would be to seal her away. While it might not be our win it won't allow Salem to control the Grimm any longer if she is sealed away. That way Humanity would have a chance to grow and expand eliminating her influence even though it's a long plan in the making at least Salem would be out of the equation."

Ironwood seeing they have at least a plan to do it couldn't help but ask Ozpin to trust them more, "Sigh… here I was worried for a second and thought you didn't have a plan. Never doubted you for a second although I would've preferred to have at least learned of her immortality healing sooner Oz."

At this Ozpin quickly thought up a convenient excuse for his inner circle dodging a massive bullet there, "Sorry everyone. I thought if I kept this a secret about Salem immortality it would make you all discouraged for our cause or worst… make you all turncoat to save yourselves. I wouldn't have blamed you but I had to keep this a secret."

Not needing to be said they can all collectively agree that if they have learned it, they would have doubts or worse switch sides in order to protect themselves like Headmaster Lionheart sold them out.

Everyone glanced at each other hearing the news and if they did, they would turn out to be traitors with Qrow glancing his Inner Circle members.

Reluctantly agreeing with Ozpin keeping Salem immortality a secret for the time being asked him once more, "Gezz. Would've help to be informed Oz but… guess if you did you might have more traitors in your circle. Still hurts you couldn't trust us more but… I can see why you couldn't."

Ozpin felt relieved by the news as a new sense of hope filled his old heart thinking to himself in that moment, 'Heh. Guess the new generation is simply meant to surpass the old. Thank you, young Jack Nights. You seem to have given me a new idea to handle Salem and… to not keep this secret from them any longer.'

Returning to his serious expression on Ozpin face he began to explain what they all have to do next concerning the info they were given, "Now then with this info perhaps we can tilt the war on our side. First would be to capture Lionheart for questioning of how much he knows or at least see if his in our side. Next regarding Jack and Ruby… I think we should personally allow them in the know sooner concerning their fates now. We'll leave Theodore in the dark before the time is right to inform him. Fortunately for all of us the Kingdom Wide Interview is going to be starting soon and will use this chance to the fullest in the aftermath."

Everyone nodded agreeing with Ozpin plan as he began to sit up going over his books with him replying to his faction, "In the meantime I will be in my personal study to research all I can about sealing Salem… if not then perhaps it's time to use the Relic of Knowledge to help guide us."

Hearing the seriousness of the situation they all agreed to Ozpin plans as they all thought to each other, 'This time it will be us older generation to carry the burden.'
