Chapter 31

Nora sighed as she closed the door to her temporary room behind her and practically collapsed on the comfy bed. she was the lucky one to get a room to herself. Ruby had roomed with her uncle and Ren had roomed with Jaune, leaving her to get a room to herself. She'd offered to let Oscar room with her, but he'd been pretty embarrassed about it, and Professor Ozpin had put his foot down on that not wanting to room with one of his students apparently.

"Ugh." the ginger haired girl groaned. The training Professor Ozpin put them through was unlike anything she'd ever done before. The physical training was so intense, even she with her formidable stamina was completely drained. And then even when they used up all their aura, he did some glowy thing and filled theirs up again so they could do it again!

The progress they were making was insane, she'd never grown anywhere near this quick in her life and it made years of the training she did growing up look utterly irrelevant.

A small breeze ghosted across her backside and Nora realised her skirt must have ridden up. But, there was nobody around to get a view of itand her arms felt like such jelly she couldn't be bothered pulling it down again.

'Cobalt would probably enjoy the view.' Nora mused with a faint grin. Honestly, she wished he had stuck around just for that night the arrived in Mistral. They weren't expecting to get a hold off a literal mansion to stay in, and there well enough room for Cobalt to hide with ease.

She missed him even though it had only been two weeks. Cobalt, was an interesting experience. she liked his personality, he was really, really blunt and didn't hide anything about himself, and she liked how open he was. And he was a big help getting into the heart of her issues.

He had opened her eyes to the dynamic between her and Ren. Albeit, with some help from Pyrrha it seemed. Still, taking his information to heart, she'd examined the interactions between her and Ren, and she'd come to the conclusion, now that she wasn't lying to herself, that, he wasn't attracted to her sexually at all. And when she had just wanted to get to the heart of the issue and asked, he had confirmed it.

It was very hard to hear, and honestly, if she hadn't spent the time with Cobalt, she probably would have been heartbroken. But, thanks to him, she didn't need to question her attractiveness at all. He had made no effort to hide how much he wanted to fuck her. Or in his words 'destroy her fat ass'.

The ginger haired girl giggled, it was amusing how something that most girls would take as an insult could be so complimentary. And well, she might have spent an hour or two admiring her own ass in the mirror a few times since then, and maybe imagined what Cobalt used to look like back a Beacon and him sinking his hands roughly into the bouncy expanse of her ass cheeks, picking her up and dragging her off to have his way with.

Her nether regions throbbed at the thought. But, after her training, no matter how appealing it was to masturbate to her fantasy, she just couldn't muster up the energy. Still, even those fantasies were a big change from her old ones. Ren was the type who would probably be more into the softer, slower side of sex. But Cobalt, just from the way he talked, especially about how that night with Pyrrha went, came off as the type that claimed his girls, rutted them till they squealed with pleasure.

And well, now comparing those types of fantasies, Nora thought that was more her speed. Honestly, knowing what she knew now, Nora would have traded places with Pyrrha that night of the dance in a heartbeat. Honestly, probably would have been her if he didn't get injured by said redhead that day. Ren didn't ask her, she turned up dateless, and she would have jumped at the chance back then if only for confirmation that she was actually a good looking girl.

..She wasn't really sure what she thought of Cobalt to be honest. It wasn't like she was in love with him. She was definitely attracted to him..kind of. His personality at least, and his old human form was a rugged kind of youthful and brawny handsome in contrast to Ren's more pretty boy sde of things. And they definitely got along well. And she really wanted to find that Cinder chick and smash her to paste with her fucking hammer. She'd already wanted to initially for what she done to Pyrrha, her best female friend..but now it was like, doubly so with her finding out she was the one who killed her new good buddy and semi kind of crush. Maybe even triple!

But well, it wasn't like she was the closest to him. No, that honour went to the white haired girl who popped in through a portal just last week. Weiss was his best friend, as the white haired girl had felt the need to remind Ruby when the girl had boasted about how cool he was as a Grimm and how she made a new friend in him.

Nora pursed her lips and ignored the slight jealousy she felt that Weiss was much closer to him than her. No her mind drifted idly of Professor Ozpin. He'd been shocked at first when Qrow had explained to him about Cobalt. And the man, now boy reincarnated had made quick sense of things. It all honestly went above her head. something about his semblance, Grimm being mallable as they evolved. And magic being capable of altering forms.

Honestly, all she'd taken away from it was, that the stronger Cobalt grew and the more he evolved, the more likely he'd be able to gain a human form if he trained his magic. She didn't really get it fully, but the fact that Qrow could transform into a bird and back was enough to satisfy her at least.

..Weiss had almost been teary upon hearing that. Though Yang had taken to giving Ozpin through Oscar death glares here and there. Nora didn't get that either, but then, Yang was pretty volatile at the best of times even back at Beacon.

It probably had something to do with the whole bird thing. Really, the orange haired girl thought it was all kinds of silly. Boo hoo, they could turn into birds and back again whenever they wanted.

Cobalt freaking died and got reincarnated as a Grimm, and it wasn't like he whined about it. What he went through made Yang's anger over it seem so petty.

'Women, am I right?' Nora shook her head. Grinning faintly, the voluptuous ginger fell asleep.
