CHAPTER 44

JAUNE ARC POV

"Ruby!" Yang shouted and limped out of the training ground to go and check up on her younger sister.

A moment later he, Weiss, and Pyrrha followed Blondie as well.

They found Ruby at the end of a long trench on the grass.

Yang checked up on her sister and sighed in relief.

"Is she alright?" he asked, feeling a bit guilty at using all his strength in the fight.

The strength has shown considerable growth in the past month due to him pushing his limits multiple times on a daily basis.

"No thanks to you jackass. Don't you know how to hold back!" Yang said and he flinched at the sheer venom in her voice.

"Yang…" Pyrrha said but stopped when the Blond girl gave her a 'look'.

"It's alright Pyrrha. It was my fault for going this far." He said and knelt beside Ruby. "May I?" he asked Yang.

The Yang gave him a hateful nod and he started pouring his aura in the little girl.

A few moments later, Ruby opened her eyes and stared at them.

Then she looked at Yang and pouted "We lost Yang."

Yang let out a sigh and pulled her sister in a hug "We did Ruby. The Jackass kicked our asses."

"Don't call him that Yang." Ruby chided and Yang rolled her eyes but nodded nonetheless.

"Well," he said and was instantly pinned by a look from all the four girls. "I think we should take a break after this."

They reluctantly nodded and went inside the Training room to rest for a bit.

He looked at the large trench made on the ground from Ruby's arrival and at the broken wall before he sighed.

Glynda was going to be pissed at him.

He noticed Pyrrha still waiting for him and moved to follow her when he felt his Scroll buzz inside his pants.

For any other person, keeping his/her scroll in their person while sparring would be considered foolish. Especially when their opponents could punch through a wall with ease.

But his Scroll had long since been upgraded to a Company's device and he wasn't sure if even a Nuke would be able to harm it.

He brought out Scroll and looked at the text sent to him by Melanie and by the Company.

He opened the text and saw a name written in it.

He opened the file attached to it and saw that it was the image of Neapolitan playfully smiling at the bartender in Junior's club.

He saw the notification from the Company and clicked Yes.

A moment later, the Tracker app activated and showed him an image of Vale along with a Tracker mark with Neo's image on it.

He smiled.

"What is it Jaune?" Pyrrha asked as she walked up to him.

"We have Neo's location." He said.

"It took them a while to get her picture," Pyrrha said as she looked at the location marker in Vale's map.

She touched the screen and zoomed in, the image getting clear until they finally had an overview look of the building where Junior's club was located.

Neo was still at Junior's Club then.

He shrugged "Roman Torchwich has made a deal with the White Fang so he doesn't really need to hire any of Junior's men any longer. That's probably why he didn't come by for a visit till now."

Pyrrha frowned at his words.

Ever since he told her about Roman and the White Fang as well as the fact that this whole thing would've ended with Beacon's downfall, she had wanted to go out and deal with them.

Unfortunately, just like him, she had no way of finding either Roman Torchwick or the White Fang and had to stay in Beacon without doing anything.

That was made worse by the daily news of Roman and the White Fang robbing a Dust shop or a Dust shipment.

Vale was a big city but Roman's continuous robberies were finally having an effect on the Marker as the Dust prices have already started to increase at a steady pace.

"Are we finally dealing with him then?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yes, we are." He replied.
