PYRRHA NIKOS POV

"Yay! Another Mission!" Ruby cheered "And so quickly after the last one as well."

"Stop being so loud you dolt!" Weiss said as she went on to chastise the younger girl about public manners but he could only sense fondness and amusement from her.

Weiss truly has changed a lot since she came to Beacon and he was proud to be a part of that change.

"Ruby. The only reason we're taking this mission is that the Vytal festival has been postponed for yet another week." He said "And because even if the Grimm had not managed to break through any of our walls, the City could still use all the help it could get. Isn't that right Ren?"

Ren gave a lazy nod in return and he had to hold back a sigh at the boy's complete lack of enthusiasm for anything.

At times like these, he realized that Ozpin didn't give Jaune the mantle of the team leader because he was the best candidate but because the other candidates sucked.

Ren was too laid back. Nora was a bit too overexcited and Pyrrha was a follower through and through. Not that Jaune had been a great option as the boy was a complete wimp until Pyrrha was murdered but still…

"Let's go and find the Hunter in charge of the mission." He said and waved goodbye to team LBVY before he and his team left to find the Hunter they were assigned to.

Unfortunately, they didn't have someone like Glynda Goodwitch assigned to them this time. In fact, they didn't even get any of the Beacon faculties.

The person they got was a middle-aged man named Brian was nothing special when it came to being a Hunter.

In fact, despite his age and experience, he was sure that either Ruby or Weiss would be able to defeat this guy.

The Hunter was either not interested in talking or was socially incompetent as he gave them simple orders that he expected them to follow and then took them to the area which they had been assigned to Exterminate the Grimm.

But with Raven and the rest of his companions working overtime in exterminating the older and more powerful Grimm in the area… it was unlikely that they would run across something dangerous.

—————

On the fourth night of the mission, he and his team were lounging on a Treehouse made by the Hunters of the older generation for the Hunters of the newer generation.

The Hunter they were assigned told them that there were numerous temporary shelters like these scattered around Vale and gave them tips on how to locate them.

The treehouse wasn't very comfortable but it was too high for ordinary Grimm to reach and covered by too many branches and leaves for the Arial Grimm to attack them from above.

Which meant that they were in as safe a place in the Grimm-infested land as they could possibly be.

He and Pyrrha were currently patrolling the area when he got a message from Raven.

'Come to the Pocket Dimension.' The message read. Short and to the point. Just like Raven.

"What do you think this is about?" Pyrrha asked.

"I have an idea. But you stay here. If Brian wakes up and asks about me then just say that I'll return in a while." He said.

Pyrrha nodded and he made a portal on a nearby Tree before leaving.

It took a few minutes to arrive at the mansion and when he did, he came across the sight of the Malachite twins lounging on bedsheets in their bikini and were basking under the sun.

"Hey, Melanie. Miltia." He said in greeting and both of them gave him a lazy wave before they went back to rest.

He had to admit that he was a little aroused by the sight but there was work to do and making Raven wait was not a wise thing on the best of days.

He quickly entered the Mansion and found Raven and Neo sitting in the living room along with four bound captives.

So… his suspicions were correct.

"Where did you find them?" he asked as he looked at the bound and knocked out forms of the four Vacuon bitches.

Neo made some gestures that he could only interpret as 'Walking around' and 'Snatched up' so he turned to look at Raven for the full summary of the events.

"We noticed them leaving Vale so we decided to follow under an illusion." Raven said with a shrug "We kidnapped them when they were crossing across an alleyway."

He nodded. "You sure no one saw you?"

Raven nodded and he brought out his shroud before covering the four girls with it one by one.

By the time he was done, all four girls had been sold and he now had 64 more points in his account.

A total of 108 points.

"Now… the only ones left are Maria Calavera and Salem." He said.

Raven cleared her throat and he turned to look at her.

"I suggest that we capture Maria and add her to the team." Raven said.

"Why?" he asked. He himself was leaning toward adding Maria to the team but he was curious about Raven's reasons.

"Her Silver eyes might be useful against Salem" Raven said "And even if that's not the case, once she's shrouded, she'll still be a 7th tier fighter. It'll be useful to have her for when we go against Salem."

He tapped his chin and nodded. "I'll think about it." And left the area to go back to Pyrrha before he thought of something and paused.

"Oh… Raven, Neo. Good job out there." He said and left the mansion.
