7 Storm 2

[It's like the color red is your kryptonite. If that was anyone else, you would ignore them completely.]

'...'

[So. How's your spine?]

'Holding on,' he replied quietly, focusing more on his body. 'Barely'

[And that's what you get for doing too much. It's the same thing with people. Will you save someone, knowing that you're guaranteed to die?]

'For...one exception.'

[All right lover boy. Settle down. You know. I'm truly impressed with you. You made a devoted friend.]

'Oh yes. A stalker is a friend. How the world has changed.'

[She's definitely a *cough* healthy one.]

'Right...'

After a few more steps, Drew tumbled to the floor. Supporting himself with his hands and knees, he gasped for oxygen as the sweat dripped from his forehead to the ground. Every drop was counted as he waited to regain back the stamina he had lost.

'Am I going to be in trouble for deforestation?

[Maybe? Check.]

He only hummed in response and as he walked back.

A few minutes ago, right after Drew left. Many of the students who collected their thoughts, including the two adults, began to question many things they saw or heard. The masked teen had nine-hundred pounds on him. He had a huge sword that probably was the reason for the weight. Then he pulled out clothes from the air and dropped his old clothing in like he was doing laundry. Vice Headmistress Goodwitch was flirted with openly in front of everyone. And he somehow knew the Invincible Girl.

Every single fact was mindblowing in their own right. Some couldn't help but feel a mild sense of respect growing for him.

The brown-haired teen who was slightly jealous at how Drew interacted with beautiful women felt his anger rising. "Hmph. All he's got is a big sword. Bet a thousand lien that he's compensating."

Regret can not have formed any quicker. As soon as he finished his statement, Pyrrha was glaring at him. It was a glare that told you that if you and I meet in an isolated location far far away, your death was guaranteed. However, the most interesting part was what happened a moment after.

"Mr. Blank thought he was clever last night and used the school showers after closing time. While passing the hallway, he wasn't clothed and I can confirm for you that in no feasible, thinkable way can you ever say that he was compensating after witnessing what I did. It...brought me anxiety for the woman who will one day be with him. The poor soul."

After finishing her words, she started daydreaming about the moment. Awe was what she felt the moment she saw his private parts. Just sheer awe. Maybe some wetness due to some...inappropriate thoughts. Mostly awe though.

Blake raised her hand for a question.

"Professor Goodwitch. You saw his...thing?"

Yang had a Cheshire grin on her face to Ruby's discomfort. Bad memories were playing in her mind.

"Huh?"

"You said you saw his penis?" Ruby's ears were closed for the last word. Yang thought it was too much for her sister's virgin ears.

"I did?" She recalled her last few sentences and embarrassment filled her body.

Glynda could not comprehend why for the life of her would she say what she said out loud. She was rendered speechless by her actions and wished that there was a hole that she could bury herself in.

Ozpin watched with a blank face as his future huntsman in training were discussing a stranger's genitalia as the woman whom he trusts the most was having a self-induced mental breakdown. Everything was spiraling out of control and at the center of this chaos was the person Mr. Blank.

He doesn't call him Mr. Blank because he wants to. It was because he left the letters b, l, a, n, and k closely to form the word Blank in the name area. When questioned about it, Mr. Blank mentioned how the exam lady person didn't correct him when he thought out loud about inputting a fake name and because she didn't care, he assumed that they didn't either.

Now, he's lived a long life. Different people, different occupations, different careers, different families, different friends. All of that was experienced by him. But today. Today. He was thoroughly stumped by the common sense of the boy known as Mr. Blank who apparently was appropriately named Mask by what seems to be his only friend, Pyrrha Nikos.

Not a second later did he hear panting and a familiar individually who was in a state of high exhaustion.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Ozpin, at the moment, had no idea as to how accurate that statement was.

"Mask! Are you okay?" Tending to her only friend, She slumped his hand over her shoulders and felt it.

The weight. It was only his arm and it made her knees buckle.

It was a good thing Aura can handle that somewhat as her Semblance failed to lift the sword. She nearly broke her wrist at the attempt.

"Set me down. Call Ozpin."

"Okay. Tell me if you need anything." Pyrrha went off to do her task while Drew withdrew a potion and drank it. With a loud exhale, he recovered some of his strength and stood up.

"Mr. Blank. Giving up?"

"No. Had a question."

"Oh? What would that be?"

"If the Emerald Forest was damaged on a large scale, will I be charged?"

Ozpin shook his head. "No." 'I doubt he can cause that much harm. His Aura was recently unlocked. What can he possibly do?' "Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Good luck then."

Pyrrha watched Ozpin walk back and then she met Drew's eyes or the eyeholes at least.

"Thanks for listening."

"It's what friends do."

"Not friends Pyrrha."

"You're forgetting the word yet in that statement of yours. Again."

[Dang. I like her.]

'I'm convinced that she's your long lost sister.' "You've become quite stubborn since your, enlightenment? Awakening? Whatever. Sticking with awakening. Enlightenment is a mouthful."

Pyrrha stifled a giggle at her friend's silliness. "What can I say? I learned about myself thanks to you and tenacity happened to be a quality of mine that I rediscovered."

"I see that." Drew drank another potion and turned around to go back on his path. "If you want to witness probably the greatest moment of your life, keep an eye on the forest."

With that as her only heads up, she rushed back to the cliffs and patiently waited.

"As my colleague was saying before, teams are going to be formed. Whoever's eyes you meet is the person that is your partner for the next four years at Beacon."

"What!" Ruby's hopes were smashed into a million pieces.

"See, Ren. I told you."

"It is in your best interest to pair up with someone whom you can work well with. After you have partnered up, make your way to the northern to of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die."

Jaune gulped and Nora couldn't keep herself in one place.

"You will be monitored-"

"TENSHOU!"

BOOM!!

The sound barrier shattered behind the Headmaster. When they all stormed to the end of the cliff, what their eyes told them destroyed their world view of what a person was capable of.

A straight line of wasteland was being generated by a humongous crescent-shaped energy blast. It traveled quite far before dissipating to nothing as if it didn't exist in the first place. The land...had a scar. That was the shortest and most concise way of describing it.

The land was scarred.

If there wasn't any fear or respect in the group of young adults before, there was most definitely some now.

"That...that's possible...?"

"No young man," Ozpin answered in a solemn tone. "The attack he launched requires someone to have Aura equaling every first year and second year in my school. That, my students, is a monster. You'll see people like him once or twice in your life. Trust me. You will do yourself no favors if you compare his capabilities to yourself. He has his skills like all of you. He has weaknesses like all of you. He can be killed like all of you." He sipped his coffee. "Don't fear his power. Be thankful that he's on our side." 'I know I am. Salem. I wish you luck.'

After releasing the Getsuga Tenshou and accomplishing one of his dreams at the same time, he sat down and gulped down two other potions. One for physical recovery and another for overall energy recovery.

[Got that out of your system?]

"Yeah."

[That was a huge one. Dragonslayer certainly helped with the size. Maybe you charged the skill a tad too much also?]

"Maybe."

[Still tired?]

"Mhm."

[It happens. I was wondering something. You think Glynda is fine?]

"...what do you mean?"

[You kissed her and you're not exactly a human. Perhaps your other powers may have leaked into her?]

"Not possible. I sealed them."

[Yes you did. However, not everything goes how you plan it, Mr. Devil God.]

[Mission: Checking]

[Check on Glynda. See if she's infected with your powers. If so, take it out.]

[Bonus Objective available if she's confirmed to be infected.]

[Bonus Objective 1: Do not give in to the temptation.]

[Bonus Objective 2: Do not perform any sexual acts or something as simple as kissing.]

"Easy enough."

[Hmph. We'll see. Oh, look. Flying teens.]

With a confused frown, Drew tilted his head up to perceive exactly what Onyx described.

[What an interesting day. Well...chop chop. Start moving.]

"Right."

[First Person POV]

Suffice to say, the evaluation was stupid difficult. I'm talking Grimm behind me. Grimm below me. Grimm above me. Grimm in front of me. My Aura was attracting way too many and my arms were halfway into numbness. I didn't know how long I could swing Dragonslayer for, so I ran.

In my escape, I met the cat and the blonde whom I saved from being skewered by a hidden Beowolf, thus satisfying my savior objective. All that was left was the Solo Grimm fight, the collection of a relic, and then the return.

Still. The Grimm was chasing me like male dogs in heat under an aphrodisiac and I was the last female dog on Earth. Uh. Remnant. Another line I never thought I would create and yet it's incredibly fitting for my situation.

Unfortunately, that meant that I owed the girls, Blake and Yang, a favor each as they stuck around and thinned the herd a bit. When they were tired, I had asked them to leave to collect their respective relics. Yang opened her mouth to argue, but Blake prevented it.

'I think she's scared of me.'

[What gave that away? How twitchy she is next to you or how she watches your every move? Perhaps it's the fact that she kept her hand on her weapon the entire time.]

'Point taken.'

[Third Person POV]

"We can't just leave him alone Blake!" furiously shouted Yang at her partner.

"Yes we can and we will. He's going to be fine."

"How would you know?"

Blake kept her face forward. "He's strong. Much stronger than the rest of us. Let's trust him to be okay by himself."

"Fine. But if he's hurt and we could've done something, I am going to deck you and probably strangle you."

She faced her with puzzlement. "Why do you care so much?"

"Because it's our job as future huntresses. Duh."

"And nothing else?"

Yang scoffed. "Of course not. I may tease and flirt, but not even I am that fickle. You can't just fall in love with someone."

Blake stared at her.

"Okay fine. I have some interest. He seems like a cool guy. Minus the whole kissing without consent thing. Nobody knows why he did that."

The Faunus nodded. "A bet perhaps? He seems too...guarded or stiff to pull off such a thing." 'Though recently he displayed a lack of common sense if the clothing incident was any evidence, anti-social behavior as he kept to himself, and oddly innocence since he came back to ask for permission to cause damage and was awkward with Pyrrha. Then there was the flirting. AH! Which is the real him!'

"Maybe." Yang changed to another topic with a smirk forming. "You think Professor Goodwitch was right? That Masky boy's meatstick is large?"

A hint of blush shaded her cheeks. "Yang!"

"What? I'm curious. You can't tell a girl that a man was blessed without showing proof of the goods."

'Can I have a partner change? Can't tell what's worse. Adam with his anger and violent issues or Yang with her lust. Both are driving me nuts.'
