1 On the way to Beacon
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me. This is the best day ever!"
In a strained voice, Ruby said, "Please stop."
Releasing her from the tight hug, Yang balled her fist in excitement. "But I'm so proud of youuuu!"
"Really sis. It was nothing," replied the now somewhat lethargic girl.
As the girls chatted, a blond boy a few feet was becoming paler by the second. Those who were aware of their surroundings began to distance themselves from the teen who was ready to discharge his breakfast.
While everyone was doing their thing, there was one boy who sat in the corner of the airship, admiring the city below from above.
'Beautiful from the outside and ugly from within. So tragic.'
[Indeed. But it's just life isn't it? Discrimination exists no matter where we are. Conflict no matter what era, timeline, dimension, or reality.]
'Quoting Naruto today?'
[I extended Hashirama's line. Does that count?]
'Yes. One day the universal authority will come for you to arrest you for your plagiarizing lines.'
[*Snort* Yeah, right. They would have to arrest everyone then. Besides, you like it.]
'Indeed I do. Pull up my status. I want to review in case I missed something or I'm forgetting details.'
[Okay. Pulling up status. Only for the fifth time this morning.]
'Just do it.' Drew sighed.
[Sure thing boss.]
[ Status ]
- Attributes -
Vitality: 9(+3) ~ You'll live long.
Strength: 8(+5) ~ You're slowly reaching Peak Human. Batman would be proud.
Constitution: 10(+7) ~ Peak Human. With Aura, you won't be dying any time soon.
Agility: 9(+5) ~ Nearly Peak Human. Do you think you can outrun a car?
Dexterity: 10(+7) ~ Peak Human. No wonder you're a sword genius.
Intelligence: 8(+3) ~ You aren't a prodigy, but you should not be underestimated.
Luck: 9 ~ Holy moly. Wanna go to Vegas? Or Remnant's equivalent of it?
Aura: 7 (Locked)(+3) ~ How can you have this much Aura and yet it's locked?
~ Above average for a Hunter-in-training in their first year. Thought the battle boosts is allowing you to reach second years.
- Titles -
Lone One: Fate will find a way to prevent the user to be with others.
~ Can you handle solitude?
Perseverance: Ignore the pain, hunger, all non-fatal injuries during battles and struggles.
~ You're either desperate or determined to unlock this title. Most likely both.
Genius Swordsmanship: Master any sword technique with remarkable speed. +100% sword skill experience gain.
~ You've never held a sword until two months ago and yet you were born for the sword. How depressing. Dead sword users would probably roll in their graves while those that are alive would never use one again.
Humanoid Slayer: +50% damage against Humanoid enemies.
~ You've killed a decent amount of people. Otherwise, you wouldn't have this title.
Grimm Slayer: +50% damage against Grimm enemies.
~ You've killed Grimm and haven't stopped. People should name an anime after you.
- Semblance - (Locked)
Power Steal(Lv. 1): User can steal up to fifty attributes per attribute.
~ Pretty strong. You're practically a humanoid Grimm once this is active. Too bad it's locked.
- Skills -
Swordsmanship(Lv. 6): The way of Swordsmanship. How skillful one is in swordplay. You've achieved perfect mastery. Against an equal opponent, you will always win.
• Level +1 Effect: Can create swords skills.
~ Your first level six skill and probably your most important one. Good job. One can not reach this level without hard work.
Running(Lv. 5): Perfected running technique. +5 Agility when running.
~ A maxed out skill. Very good. At least you can escape when things get bad. You're halfway into break your limits and getting level 6. Continue grinding.
Hand-to-Hand(Lv. 4): Above average disarmed fighting technique.
~ Not bad. Unfortunately, against those who specialize in this, you'll fall short. However, do not neglect this even if you feel discouraged. No skill is truly useless. In the wise words of my father. It's not about the size. It's how you use it.
Marksmanship(Lv. 1): No experience in shooting a gun. This only unlocked because you shot one bullet and that was by accident.
~ You suck. Your only hope is a close-range bullet to a lethal spot.
Hyperspeed(Lv. 2): A skill that enhances the user's perception and brain processing speed. Thus slowing down the world around him.
~ Another essential skill. Be careful not to overdo it. Your brain can only handle so much. Not to mention your body needs to be able to react otherwise, this skill is worthless.
Stealth(Lv. 4): A passive skill that reduces the sound of footsteps, quiets your breathing, lowers your presence, and more to ensure stealthiness. +20% extra damage when assaulting someone from Stealth.
~ People can see you though. Lucky for you, you have Sho's Mask. Or unlucky depends on what the mask does later down the line.
Breathing(Lv. 5): Perfected breathing techniques for nearly every situation. +2 to all physical attributes when the user is combat breathing. +2 to Int when the user is deep breathing.
~ You've done it all your and life and now you perfected it.
- Equipment -
Severance: A sword with mythical powers. Also knows as the sword of lovers. Only soul mates have the right to own this sword unless given to another pair of soul mates. Its durability depends on the bond between the two people. It has more powers to be unleashed.
~ Unbreakable. Your bond was that of true love after all. Be proud. Not many can have this.
Full Gauntlets: Gauntlets that reach your shoulder and have a weapon function. Retractable Claws. Made from special metals that have unique properties.
~ An item that was bought for two-hundred Grimm points. Enemies won't expect it.
Lower Armor: Armor that covers the entire lower body. Made from special metals that have unique properties.
~ An item that was bought for a hundred Grimm points. Worth it.
Black Hoodie: A special hoodie that has incredible features. It cleans itself, increases Aura's recovery by 10%, heals injuries slowly, and brings unbelievable comfort.
~ A lucky item from your beginner's box.
Udonna's Pendant: The God of Life from your universe has given you a gift. Has unknown capabilities.
~ Arrived with you to Remnant. Mysterious.
Sho's Mask: The God of Deception and Calamity from your universe has given you a gift. Aura signature change. Body change. Invisibility. Has more unknown capabilities.
~ Arrived with you to Remnant. Sho's second Godhood title is alarming. Be careful.
Overall Comment ~ Not bad for an ex-pacifist. You've come a long way.
'Are the comments necessary?' Though he said that, he was internally swelling with happiness from reading a specific comment.
[Absolutely. Gotta show my personality to the readers you know?]
'Excuse me?'
[So how's the weather Drew? It's quite Sunny. Good day for a run.]
'Why are you-'
[Oh, look. The pale blond is about to throw up.]
He came back to reality and witnessed said blond vomiting right next to two girls who were in blissful ignorance until the younger one noticed something and her face twisted in disgust.
"Oh, Yang Gross!" She stepped back. "You have puke on your shoes!"
"Gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross...!"
"Get away!" Ruby held her nose as a scent invaded her nostrils. "Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!"
"Ugh..."
Drew, watching the spectacle, snickered as he pulled up his hoodie.
[Oh? Is Blank Face Drew cracking a smile?]
"Ahem." He coughed into his fist as he regained his composure. 'Nope.'
[Hmmm? Then my ears must be deceiving me.]
'First of all, you don't have ears. Second, your senses are connected to mine so don't you mock me.'
[Don't be a party pooper. Let me have some fun.]
'...I can't wait until I buy a body for you.'
[On second thought, the blond's problem is not hilarious in any form. Airsickness is more common than one thinks you know?]
'I have to say. I admire your methods of changing the topic.'
[What are you talking about Boss? We're watching something that other people unfairly make fun of.]
'You do realize that I nearly laughed at it?'
[Uh...mercy?]
'No promises.'
[...since it's too late anyway, why would you pull up your hoodie? You know that people can't see you with your mask, right?]
'Ah. I didn't-I guess, I forgot. Not used to wearing a mask with powers.'
[Makes sense. Quick question. Do you think the founder of Beacon Academy meant to name his school with the word bacon in mind? Can you imagine Bacon Academy? I think I'm about orgasm. Just the thought is arousing.]
'...I really didn't need to know that. TMI, Onyx. TMI.'
[It's bacon boss! Bacon! Who can resist bacon! Not me that's who!]
'Calm yourself.'
[I am calm! Hold on. I just thought of something.]
'My gut is screaming at me to ignore you, but I'll humor you. Onyx. Mind sharing your thoughts?'
[Can you create and or buy a woman who is bacon?]
'...I should've listened to my gut. Onyx. There are so many things wrong with what you just said. A. I don't a bacon woman is possible. B. Are you planning on eating a woman?' The moment those words escaped his lips, he facepalmed.
[*Snicker* Depends. What kind of eating are we talking about?]
'And we're done talking for the rest of the trip.'
[Nooo. Don't ignore me. Please.]
'...'
[Oh! Uh! Hn! The boredom! It's killing me!]
Drew closed his eyes.
[My health is dropping. Boss help!]
'...'
[Bla!]
[Your system has died.]
'...'
[Man you're heartless.]
'I know.'
