Chapter 192: Vytal Festival (11)

Chapter 192: Vytal Festival (11)

~Jack POV~

Walking my way casually to the ruined area where Yang was taking me since she and Weiss rang away from my fire wave at them.

Only using my <Fire Manipulation>, <Fusion>, <Glyphs>, <Petal Burst>, and <Moonslice>.

Have to say this does limit me to a fair degree considering <Moonslice> allows me to absorb any damage done to me via energy-based attack.

Although this is actually a very common misconception of Adam's Semblance.

<Moonslice> allows me to absorb energy as in ANY kind if someone knew how to absorb it like say I don't know… kinetic energy? Solar energy? Aura energy?

See my point?

That was Weiss's misconception of the ability if I only just needed an enemy to attack me, I can also absorb the energy inside Dust to use for my own advantage.

<Fusion> I could use to fuse my existing skills but otherwise only a copy skill unless I did the condition of my target in question like Yang.

And that hasn't changed much as I hoped seeing it in front of me using <Fusion> to find Yang instead of my <Observe> skill since I needed to complete using my skills as per the girl's request.

<Fusion>.

[Ding!]

[Notice target is higher level!]

[-Fusion Conditions-

Description: Yang Xiao Long has always been an adventurous type of girl but is longing to have some information about her mother and has a high level of confidence in herself. You must limit yourself to 5 skills of the girl's choice and manage to defeat Yang once.]

Yup.

So no Aura to heal me up or other skills other than the ones they suggested.

Very limited but I really want the challenge I just have to make sure the girls don't notice that flaw soon.

*Bang*

But trying to find Yang in this ruined area of the city with her moving around all over with the sounds of her Ember Celica booming around launching herself away while I have to carefully keep watch of where she goes.

I can trust Pyrrha to handle herself well enough in the coming fight against Weiss but in the volcanic area though?

She would have a chance in the forest area unless Weiss has a plan against Pyrrha…

*THUD*

Seeing Yang finally land straight down causing a small crater cracking her knuckles and calling me out, "Alright Jack time to settle that score in Patch. This time I won't hold back!"

Heh.

Says to me about holding back when I can't do much now and even then, it seems like history is repeating itself once more.

Ironic.

Nodding my head opened my hands out with fire erupting from them covering around and forming into a spiral shape increasing the heat while I spoke out, "Funny you of all people to say that but… let's just say that day was different. I've improved since then."

*BRRR*

*SWOOSH*

Using the fire on my feet I propelled myself forward with Yang seeing this first-come backed her fist and rushed at me while I used <Moonslice> on my hand stopping her in her tracks with surprise evident on her face.

No shockwave explosion or burst of air from the impact stopped my fire propelling me with Yang dumbstruck at the situation.

Her eyes blink slowly trying to get out of my grip holding it tight like an iron grip slowly clenching her fist causing her to flinch with her hair flaring up in response because her Semblance <Burn> is active.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes along with the rest of the audience Oobleck began to speak out surprised by the situation, "Unbelievable folks! This is such a conundrum happening. No impact and shockwave from the attack from the two? If I had to guess it's probably another Semblance that mister Nights obtained for the cause."

Wise indeed Oobleck.

But Yang was quick to take Oobleck's words finally clicking in her head knowing what skill I was using her gritted her teeth in a confused tone, "<Moonslice>… I thought it was an absorb energy Semblance from enemy attacks?"

Smirking at Yang's tone I enlightened her of its true ability correcting her misconception, "Correct. But wrong at the same time Yang. <Moonslice> is an ability to absorb energy. I mean really Yang you have a Semblance that absorbs kinetic energy. And Kinetic energy isn't that based on the virtue of motion?"

Like that Yang's eyes widen when she laughs at my correction while I absorbed the Kinetic Energy of her fist into my <Moonslice> on my body storing it, "Ha! Okay now that I didn't think through. Man, Blake was right <Moonslice> and <Burn> are similar but yours is superior in terms of absorption."

*Woosh*

*BOOM*

Making a quick jab to the gut releasing the attack Yang had against me earlier released back onto her causing a noticeable drop in her aura level but…

*BOOM*

"Argh!"

[You taken 8000 HP!]

[<Moonslice> have absorbed a portion of the damage!]

Her eyes changed into red launching a punch at my gut in retaliation still holding onto her fist tightly not letting go the pain is still there without my aura to protect me making a noticeable dent to my stomach but…

Refusing to use my skills for healing would mean failing the fusion condition I refused but I was still standing while I immediately returned the damage taken into Yang's stomach once more with my fist shining with royal blue energy.

Yang seeing this knew she couldn't allow me to continue any longer countering with her own fist against my own seeing that our fists almost made contact to see –

*Beep*

"And with that Pyrrha Nikos has been eliminated by ring out! Now it's up to Jack Nights to go against two members of Team RWBY Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long folks!"

What!

*Shiii*

*Woosh*

Whoa!

Stopping in the last moment a glyph suddenly appeared repelling me back with Yang seeing the Schnee family glyph before I clutched down in shock Pyrrha lost with Weiss coming back last second.

Weiss began to talk to Yang who was clutching her own stomach up scolding her, "Yang! I thought you got that handled with Jack like planned!"

Coming closer to her while I took the moment to recover as much HP as I can and AP thanks to Gaia Medal activating taking as much time as I could with Yang recovering.

Not taking my eyes off them Yang replied to Weiss in a tired tone loud enough only for us to hear, "Yeah… but I didn't realize that his <Moonslice> could absorb energy. Kinetic energy surprised me. Didn't take that into account."

Weiss looked surprised but kept her guard up around me beginning to summon up glyphs out of the way holding her weapon like a wand.

But they are where I want them with me talking to Yang calmly, "Welp. Looks like our rematch will have to wait another day Yang. Willing to let Weiss not interfere in our rematch?"

Weiss sent a glare at Yang that said otherwise as she laughs declining my offer immediately out of Weiss's glare, "Uh… yeah sorry Jack but looks like the Ice Queen says nope. But then again, it's you were facing so can't blame us to take any little advantage we can get, right? So… no hard feelings ok big boy?"

Weiss responds to our conversation with a content smile making Yang's spine shiver in response to her words, "Good. While I don't mind you two have your rematch… we are fighting in the Vytal Festival and we take any advantage against you we can take. If Yang says otherwise, I would've brought her to an 8-hour-long lecture with Oobleck about history and math."

Ouch…

Yeah, I would be scared if Weiss threatened me like that.

Seeing this I nodded that it was time to end this since they are here with a nod, "Ok then. Then I'm about to end this."

Their eyes widen while I began building up the heat of the fire with Weiss and Yang immediately attacking or retreating when I used up all my Aura into my attack using <Fire Manipulation> building up around me into pure fire surrounding the ruined area.

Port began to mention, this with surprise in his voice speaking out with him massaging his mustache, "By the Gods! That fire his producing is very intense that even I can feel the heat in our room!"

Weiss and Yang weren't doing any better while their aura is taking a massive hits while their aura levels are lowering drastically but not before I got boom releasing the attack name mentally in my head before blowing up.

Prominence Burn…

Or in the words of the famous wizard loli…

EXPLOSION!

*BOOM*

/////

Standing in the middle of the destroyed ruined area even better… ruined.

I see everything has been burned down even buildings melting away while I scratch the back of my head seeing Weiss and Yang made it out by ring out since I controlled the fire enough to kill them.

[Ding!]

[-You have met the conditions-]

[-Which skill would you like to copy from Yang Xiao Long-

-Burn Lv.1

-Martial Art Mastery Lv.1

-Bad Puns Lv.1

….]

[Ding!]

[You have successfully copied the skill <Burn>!]

Skill list.

----

<Burn> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

Description: This skill lets the user absorb kinetic energy from every blow the user takes and use it to make himself more powerful. This is a form of kinetic energy absorption, with the user subsequently redirecting said energy against their opponent.

This skill has the ability to absorb energy from the damage the user has taken, and redirect it twice as hard at their opponent, effectively making the user stronger with each hit the user takes. The user can save up the energy to use later for an even more devastating attack.

----

Heh.

Finally managed to get this skill from Yang.

Talk about Yang enough.

Ugh…

Maybe I should let Yang handle the bad puns and speak about Yang…

Smirking a bit I began to go towards sheepishly talking to them for the sudden explosion, "Ok… Ahem! I think I may have gone a bit overboard there… guess I don't know my own strength? Hehe…"

But the two didn't respond as their faces turn bright red getting confused why but that was when Oobleck spoke out through the intercom system, "The winner for the double rounds is Team JNPR by sending Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee by ring out! Ahem! Now then if mister Jack Nights would please go to Glynda Goodwitch's office for a harsh scolding immediately young man!!"

What?!!

My eyes widen at that voicing out to Oobleck thinking it was because of the damage, "What! Come on is it because of excessive use of force exploding and damaging the arena!"

But Port began to reply in Oobleck said through the speakers got me aware of the situation of what's happening, "No young man. We have a budget on that front for insurance. It's the matter of your appearance currently being lived television completely naked is the main issue. But otherwise, a splendid battle!"

"WHAT!!!"

Taking notice while yelling finally being in the loop I saw myself being completely naked and then realizing why Yang and Weiss were blushing while looking at my body.

My god likes to build muscle bodies similar to Adam from that fighting tournament for humanity while… huh?

Guess my dick is bigger than I thought –

"JACK NIGHTS!!!!"

Oh no…

I know that voice of anger anywhere…

Freezing immediately hearing the screeching sounds of Glynda Goodwitch making everyone flinch at the voice of pure anger and fury with each word coming out next, "JACK NIGHTS YOU BETTER GET YOU SORRY ASS TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!!! HOW DARE YOU BE NAKED REPRESENTING OUR KINGDOM OF VALE?!! ARE YOU TRYING TO BE DISQUALIFIED – DON'T YOU FUCKIN DARE –"

*Shiii*

Nope.

Using <Kindred Link> I escaped out of there as my life depended on it.

I'll self-reflect on this matter…

It surely has nothing to do with Glynda might be possible to kill me no way.

If my team or friends want to find me, I'll use video voice chat.

Thank god for –

*SHIII*

Held up and changing clothes turning slowly to see the Professor glaring at me with pure unadulterated anger spoke coldly even making me feel the fear of death, "Where… do… you… think… you're… going… boy…"

I'm fucked.
