Chapter 48: Black and White (2)
~Jack POV~
I knew there was a reason why I was sent here now.
It was basically to meet my favorite character on the show.
Penny.
<Fusion>.
[Ding!]
[Notice that the target is higher Level than the player.]
[Adjusting the conditions to be able to copy the skill.]
[-Fusion Conditions-
Description: Penny is revealed to be the first synthetic entity to be capable of generating an Aura however it was revealed that her aura is due to her creator Pietro Polendina sacrificing some of his aurae so she would have one. The condition is to be her first friend to her before Ruby.]
Hell yes.
"No. You."
She pointed her eyes at me as she slowly came closer I still had a smile on my face unafraid as she raises her head forward our eyes met as she spoke, "Did you just call me and the girl friend?"
Smirking a bit as I replied to Penny with Ruby following suit as spoke to her, "Yeah. I think of you as a friend ain't that right Ruby?"
"Uh, yeah?"
That was when Penny began to clasp her hands together as she talked to herself in joy, "How touching! I have made a friend! I'm so glad I came to Vale!"
Ahh!
She is so cute!
She is precious!
That was when I heard the rest of the members of Team RWBY speak their opinions about Penny.
"What is with her?"
"Sorry, but we're in a hurry."
"All right. Be well."
Wait no this is too soon!
I want to talk to a precious android with a soul!
Taking out my Scroll I began to lend her the phone number of my Scroll as I smiled at her, "If you want to talk, you can call me using this number. Hope we get to talk again at a better time Penny."
Penny gasped like anime fashion as I gave her my contacts as she was brightly smiling, "Gasp! I'll be sure to remember my friend Jack! Bye, new friends!"
Waving goodbye for the time being as I couldn't help but be glad to hear Penny's voice as the others gave me a weird look as I defended myself, "What? I only know a few friends in Beacon is it wrong to spread my friend circle?"
They thought about it as they shrug as if it was my own business.
Well, screw you guys then.

<Technopathy> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0%

The higher the INT stat the easier for the information to be processed.
-The higher the level the higher the chance to control the machine(s) in question: 1%
----
My eyes widen a bit as I didn't know Penny had a skill like this but considering she is more machine I was able to get this or this might have been Penny Semblance.
Regardless I got something to train in the future now… and increasing my INT stat to get this skill and a better understanding of machines.
Of course, I have to know by studying machines now.
/////
After spending a few minutes of our time searching for Sun along with me getting to enjoy Vale as a bonus it was nice for a while.
As the search for our little monkey Faunus ends, I hear Weiss being a racist again as she spoke out badly about Sun I frown hearing the words, "Let's give up. He's just a stowaway, right? He's a law-breaking scoundrel. If we let him go he will surely join the White Fang."
Ok, that sounds highly racist right there Weiss.
Next was Blake getting offended easily at this as she spoke out defending Sun because of Weiss's assumptions, "That's wrong! This is why your so ignorant!"
Hearing the gasping sounds of Ruby and Yang I stand back this time.
These two won't listen to my words even if I forced them.
This is something they need to get out of their chest.
Weiss manages to turn around with a sharp glare towards Blake as she replied coldly, "What did you just say to me?"
Blake began to reply holding her sharp glare at Weiss as she was vocal about her words, "You're being prejudiced. You treat all Faunus like criminals. If he's a scoundrel, then so are you."
Weiss began to vocally argue against that as she opens her arm at Blake as I stay back out of this cat fight, "It's an organization of pure evil that hates humanity. How can you defend them?"
At this Blake glares at Weiss as she began to raise her voice almost akin to yelling, "There's no such thing as pure evil! People like you drove the Faunus into a corner."
Okay, it seems like things are beginning to get out of hand.
Ruby got close to trying to dissolve this issue to become a major problem, "Please don't fight you two – "
But Ruby stopped in her tracks as Weiss glares still present as she began to argue back at Blake at something that I was surprised to hear, "Have you attended any of the funerals of the people they have killed?"
Oh, shit just got real.
I'm honestly a bit speechless to hear that from Weiss as did Blake as Weiss continues to argue with Blake as she raises her voice close to yelling now, "Do you know the pain of the families whose loved ones were killed just for being a Company board member? Do you have any idea how much they've made me suffer?"
Then it was that moment…
I really should do something but what can I say really?
I haven't exactly dealt with this kind of situation before so I was left momentarily stuck on the subject of what to do here.
I did nothing as what Blake said next wasn't supposed to happen till later at night I was shocked along with the characters for different reasons of Blake's words, "Well, maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!!"
"We?"
Blake realizing her mistake began to run away as I managed to catch myself to reality hearing Ruby's voice calling out to her in worry, "Blake, where are you going!"
*Swoosh*
Before Blake vanished I saw her use her Semblance to run away I began to make chase after her as I don't have the energy to scold Weiss right now as I have better things to do.
She might have fooled and run away from Team RWBY…
But not while I have my Skill <Observe> on hand to reveal the truth of this case!
[<Observe> LEVEL UP!]
Huh?
When I began to focus more on Blake, I managed to finally see her stats when I look hard enough to see her info –
[Ding!]
[The Quest is created.]
Oh god damn it!

My eyes widen at the rewards shown as these are good ones for this, but the danger level has just risen from this.
…
I pressed the accept button as I knew the dangers to come I ignore calls from Ruby as I managed to get rid of her as I focus on Blake's name tag using my <Observe> to finally see the level and stats of my target.

Hax.
Fucking hax I need to catch up to the MC or else I get left behind.
Fucking MC has all the perks.
But if I had to guess levels are more in line with their actual abilities and threat level of how much experience there worth. Considering how long Blake survived on White Fang rallies and attacks through very dangerous situations as well as being deadly in her own right...
Yeah, I guess she would be pretty accurate in her level.
Guess I'm going to have a bad time later at the docks.
