Chapter 59

Yang felt....Yang didn't know how to describe how she felt right now. She felt strong, stronger than strong even. Stronger than she'd ever felt before. But she was also in a daze.

She lifted her newly returned arm, clenching and unclenching it. It was like...it had never been gone at all. It was wiggy as all hell though, watching the skin bubble and morph back into form from her stump automatically as soon as she felt that rush of power Cobalt stuffed into her.

It felt like a dream. Especially the fact that Cobalt, the kid she was always at odds with was the one to give her pep talk and cut off part of the power he needed to get his human body back and give it to her to get her own arm back.

'Guess Ruby was right, you are just a big softie underneath all that macho posturing huh?' Yang mused, a smile spreading across her face as she looked down at the boy turned Grimm, the size of a house cat spread limply across her lap.

Right now, in this moment. Yang didn't really know now why she felt so angry before. She understood objectively why she was jealous of this kid, but....it felt so petty that she was actually a bit ashamed of how she treated him.

She felt some of that old confidence she used to have, that let her strut around Beacon Academy like she owned the place flow back into her, "So you wanted to fuck me all this time, huh?" she grinned. She was not going to lie, having the guy who kicked her ass constantly and always seemed to look down on her, admitting that, was a hell of an ego booster.

"Wanna know a secret?" she said to the unconscious grimm boy, "I thought you were pretty freaking hot yourself." she admitted, though that wasn't much of a secret really. Cobalt was definitely one of the better looking guys kicking around Beacon Academy, and Yang did like her eye candy. Especially since the kid seemed to love walking around without a shirt on. Really, him and Sun would have probably got along really well.

And she clearly wasn't the only one that thought he was a hottie.

P-money totally banged him. And Nora wanted to bang him. Even her cute little sister was totally into him now. And Weiss had always jealously guarded her relationship with him and refused to comment on what they did together or let her know all the juicy details about him when she asked. "You're totally going the harem route aren't ya?" she chuckled. An impish, long forgotten grin spread across her face as she looked back down at him and reached down to gently brush her newly regrown hand through his fur, "Alright Stone, you wanna fuck me? I'm game, might even be fun."

She'd had some fun here or there, and dated a few guys, but she'd never found anyone she actively wanted a true relationship with, none had ever struck her as good partner material. She'd always been careful about who she wanted to get together with, after all, she didn't want a repeat of her failure of a mother now did she? She saw the mess Raven made of her dad after all.

But, rocky start or not, if the kid was willing to rip off literal parts of his power for her, power he needed to get his human body back at that, then he might be worth placing her bets on.

'And even if it doesn't work out, the sex will probably be amazing either way.' Yang sniggered. She curled her hands around his small furry body and stood up. "Let's lay you down somewhere comf-" just as she did though, the energy and strength running through her, suddenly snapped away and her legs buckled beneath her.

She would have fell over if a hand wasn't suddenly pressing against her back, keeping her upright.

"Careful now Miss Xiao Long," Oscar, or rather Ozpin said softly, "The first magic exhaustion is a bit of a doozy."

"W-were you watching us?" she demanded. It was probably silly of her really to believe Raven about Ozpin, but the woman swore blind it was Ozpin's fault she left. There had to be something behind that right?

"I was not actually, not until I felt the magic in the air and realised what young Mr Stone was attempting to do," he answered, shaking his head with a sigh, "Prodigy indeed. It took me a lifetime to create the spell template, and within a week he has mastered it and is able to give out abilities, truly astounding. A monstrous talent if I've ever seen one."

...A lifetime huh? So it looked like that whole prodigy spiel from before really wasn't bullshit.

"And the absurdity of what he gave you, I almost cannot believe it." Ozpin shook his currently small tan head in apparent awe.

"..Didn't he just give me regeneration?" Yang asked, confused now. Like, that wasn't a small thing at all. He just gave her the ability to regeneration lost limbs! That was absurd as it was!

"Not quite Miss Xiao Long, you see, Cobalt despite his talent is still a bit of a novice when it comes to creating spells and gifting them as abilities," Ozpin denied, "I could feel what was woven into that spell. It was many in one. Not only based on his own regeneration, but the physical template of the maiden power he has, a power that boosts the physical abilities quite substantially. And not only that, I felt some some of the lesser abilities of the grimm flow into you. I dare say you will not age beyond your prime and stay forever youthful, and I would not be surprised if you could fire a cero blast either."

"..Say what now?" Yang's eyes went wide, and she gaped in utter disbelief.
