Chapter 196 - Unforseen Side Effect

Shallot was looking around the city and dusted his hands after tossing a vehicle to the side that was blocking the entrance to a building.

"I think that about wraps up most things for here. I don't think there is anything else to do here." Shallot said while cleaning his hands.

He planned on going to get something to eat after this as he was starving. It was time for lunch and he needed to get to the school cafeteria before everyone else or he won't be able to get his 7 plates.

"Are we heading back then?" Ruby asked from the side while giving a small girl a ride on her shoulders after helping her from being stuck inside one of the buildings.

"Yeah, I'm also hungry right now." Shallot said.

Shortly after his stomach rumbled loud enough that Ruby could hear it agreeing that it was hungry. Shallot rubbed his stomach while thinking about making a sextuple decker sandwich.

"Let's head back." Shallot said while lifting in the air as he didn't think that there was much more to do.

"Why didn't you heal the ones that you were carrying," Ruby asked as she started to float up next to Shallot.

Ruby enjoyed the feeling of flying as it let her feel free and nothing in the world was problematic.

"It takes less time to grab the people, take them to the medics, and grab more people instead of grabbing someone healing them and bringing them to safety." Shallot said as there was no one that was at risk of dying.

Shallot and Ruby flew back and could see that the city was mostly taken care of. When they got back to the room they saw that Yang was sitting inside in a headlock by Summer. Blake was on the side laughing with Ilia standing in the corner looking nervous.

Shallot raised his eyebrow at that wondering what was going on in here.

"Apologize for calling me old." Summer said while Yang was struggling to get free wondering how her mother was so strong when she trained with Shallot all the time.

'I'm not getting involved in that.' Shallot thought to himself.

Shallot walked in with Ruby and Ruby started laughing seeing Yang put in a headlock. She remembered that Yang was the way she was because her mom was always ruff with Yang while growing up.

Ruby was holding her stomach thinking it was the funniest thing that she was seeing. Summer turned and saw that Shallot and Ruby had walked in.

"Hello, my little strawberry." Summer said with a smirk on her face knowing that that was something that Shallot called her.

Ruby's face flushed hearing that and stopped laughing and tried hiding her face. She didn't think that her mom would know about that.

"What is Ilia doing here?" Shallot asked seeing Ilia standing in the corner.

"She said that she came to have you look at some paperwork for the White Fang. When you said that you were going to take over the White Fang for a date I thought you were joking." Blake said while looking through a folder.

Yang squirmed her way out when Summer was focusing on teasing Ruby while she was trying to cover herself with her cape trying to hide her face.

Ilia wasn't sure about what was going on and just wanted to give the report to Shallot and then leave. She rather not be beaten again by Yang. That wasn't a good experience for her.

*Knock knock*

They heard a knock coming from the door with Shallot wondering who it could be since he didn't see anyone in the hallway on the way here.

Shallot opened the door wondering why he couldn't feel any life force from the other side. Shallot held a ki ball in his hand in case this was a trap. He still remembered that Da Vinci say that Friday wasn't the one that contacted me.

When Shallot opened the door he saw that it was one of Ironwood's droids.

"Shallot, I would like for you to come and come to the medical room. There is something wrong with Ozpin and lost consciousness suddenly." The voice of Ironwood came through the droids as came from a speaker.

Shallot stopped the ki ball figuring that the droids were the reason why he couldn't sense it. When Shallot thought about it he should have used his semblance to create a room so he would know what was on the other side. He should still be cautious even if most things wouldn't be able to harm him.

Shallot also wanted to settle things as quickly as he could so he could fully focus on creating a way back to the Dragon Ball universe. Raven's semblance is the perfect thing to look into. His semblance lets him travel the distance that is covered by his room but her portals don't seem to have a distance limit.

"I'll be there in a moment." Shallot told Ironwood through his droid.

'I wonder if there was something that went wrong by forcefully healing his body the way he did.' He never worked on someone's body with that much life force in such a short amount of time.

Shallot always used small amounts of life force on himself and the others to recover from damage. It was either he stayed dead, his body exploded from the overload of life force, or he was brought back but it seems that something else also happened that he didn't expect.

'It came with side effects.' Shallot thought to himself while rubbing his chin.

"Shouldn't you rest first?" Blake asked looking up from the files in front of her.

"I'll stop by the cafeteria first and then head to Ozpin. If it's something really bad that can't be treated then at least I'll have a full stomach." Shallot said while walking out of the room.

Ruby turned to look at the corner of the room looking at Ilia.

"Who is she?" Ruby asked.

"Someone from the White Fang but now works for Shallot since he is the head of it," Blake said.

"Wait... what?" Summer stopped hearing that as she knew that they were closer to a terrorist organization from what she had found out when she was snooping around earlier when she came to watch her daughter in the tournament.

"Yeah, Shallot took over the White Fang on our last date and let me beat up the members thereafter we had something to eat. It was a great workout after having a good meal there." Yang said while remembering their date together.

"Mentioning dates... I think I should tell you girls about protection." Summer said while looking at Yang, Ruby, and Blake.

"I don't think that I need to be here for this?" Ilia said while trying to inch closer to the doorway.

Blake threw a pencil that flew in front of Ilia's face and lodged into the wall.

"You're staying here Ilia. I know that you're the only person that could have shown Adam how to use Ki." Blake said while looking at her friend with a smile that sent a shiver down her spine.

Ilia back-peddled into the corner seeing that the pencil was so close to her face. She didn't know that Blake could be so scary since she was always quieter and talked to her sometimes.

Weiss was about to walk out when she was grabbed by Ruby.

"If I have to stay here to listen to this then you have to also Weiss," Ruby said.

"Why? You all are the ones together with Shallot, not me." Weiss said.

"Because you're my best buddy," Ruby said while looking at Weiss with puppy eyes.

Weiss wanted to turn away and leave the room but looking at Ruby's eyes she couldn't. Weiss exhaled before turning back and sitting on the bed.
