Chapter 58

It took you a few moments you get your wits back about you as you processed the utterly massive tirade the voluptuous lilac eyed blonde dropped on you like a bomb.

"Huh, look at you Xiao Long, looks like you still have some proper fire in you after all, I respect that," you mused, you were legitimately a bit impressed, "Still, let me drop a few truths of you blondie. You wanna know why I'm not wallowing like a whiny little loser because I died? Because I was pissed off. I was reborn as a tiny weak little grimm weaker than the average beowolf. But there were people in danger, so I sucked it up and used my anger. I didn't know I could absorb grimm at first y'know, all I knew was that there were people afraid and grimm or not, I am hunter! So I killed the grimm to save them, put my new puny little life on the line, despite not knowing I'd get stronger killing them at first, because how the fuck could I? I had no idea my semblance had evolved!"

She made to open her mouth to input, but you barrelled on, not letting her get a word in yet, "All that anger you feel? Take it and fucking use it! You're afraid, then get stronger, so strong that you don't need to feel afraid," you said, before snorting, "Adam Fucking Taurus? If even then you're still afraid of him, just point him my way and I'll kill that fucking cuck for you, I've got a bone to pick with him anyway. Either way, shit is tough Xiao Long, the world isn't a nice place, newsflash it never has been. You either get good enough to survive, or you die, that's it."

"..Cuck?" her mouth hung open wide.

"You want fucking magic powers Xiao Long?" you demanded, staring right up into her eyes, prowling over to her on all fours and hoping into her lap, maintaining eye contact all the way, "I'll fucking give you some. I'll give you your damn arm back with it, then you can take that arm and shove it up Taurus' ass and pull his lungs out from his backside! There, that's all the wisdom I have to share, get good or die, does that make you feel any better Tits Mcgee!?"

"...What?...You can do that to?" she whispered, staring down at you in shock.

"Of course I fucking can, remember who you're speaking to, people don't call me a prodigy for nothing," you rolled your eyes, "I've already learned how to create spells and gift them the same way Ozpin does, the only problem is doing it will take a chunk out of my magic permanently and I need to keep a specific amount to make the spell to make my human form when I get to that point."

"You'll..you'll really just give me an ability the same way Ozpin did to Qrow, my mother and you?" Xiao Long asked, her voice hesitant. You could feel trepidation and fear within her at the very thought, "But...don't you hate me?"

You rolled your eyes, "Hardly," you replied, "You annoyed the piss out of me, but it was nowhere near enough to be called hate. Well, I suppose the fact that I always wanted to fuck you cross eyed helped there."

Something flowed through her, an emotion you couldn't quite place, but you could feel the emotions lightening within her, becoming less toxic and heavy, "You really have no shame at all, huh kid?" she smiled down at you, the first genuine smile she'd probably ever given you.

"Life sucks, then you die. I'll be true to what I want from here on blondie," you huffed, holding back never got you anywhere. Like shit, you held back with the Malachite twins when they outright offered to fuck you, but you had been too focused on training and doing your job at the time and didn't want to possibly make things awkward, "And I've no shame in admitting I wanted to fuck you. Hell I'd still love to fuck you Xiao Long, I mean look that body, you're a walking wet dream on legs."

That smile turned into a smirk and you could feel the pride within her, "Well, I don't blame you Stone, I am fucking hot," she agreed, before sighing, hesitance rising up in her, "...But...are you fine with this? Like, you don't have a lot of magic right?"

"....It should be fine," you sighed, "My magic power grows the more I evolve, and according to Ozpin, I can still apparently evolve one more time, and the more old grimm I absorb the more magic I can get as well I think, I got some from that Nuckelavee."

"..Alright, how do we do this then?" she asked.

You cocked your head at the prosthetic arm, "Take that off first of all." you ordered

She did as you ordered, popping the yellow metal arm off and sitting it down, showing her stump off. "Now what?" she asked, staring down at you, biting her lip.

"Just relax, this might feel weird." you ordered, and closed your eyes sinking into yourself, centring yourself and reaching deep within the flickering burning magic power within you.

Making the template for a spell that dealt with regeneration? That was easy. You just had to copy a power you already had on hand, not create something new. If it was something new, it would take a hell of a lot longer than this.

It took merely a few moments of copying your ability to make a template and then filling it with your magic power. The real challenge was actually gifting it to Xiao Long Tethering it to her aura the same way Ozpin had done with you, was a pain in the ass and took you what seemed like hours.

Finally you managed it though, and you felt a part of your magic cut off, like branch being permanently snapped from a tree, never to return.

You heard a gasp almost a moment later, and opened your eyes. 'That isn't supposed to happen.' you thought blearily, even as your body suddenly felt so very heavy and darkness began to cover your sight.

Because, there was a lilac trail of magic energy spreading out from the blonde's eyes, just like the way the Maiden power did.
