Chapter 16

After ranting for about a few minute I calm down and sit on the sofa

This is really a mess up day, first Zelrecth sent someone to act as a Duex ex machine then I got kill steal and if that wasn’t the worst thing happen then being promoted as Vise-Headmaster IS

Just what the hell is going on with that old man mind?!

*Clap clap*

“May I have your attention please” Robin said and all of us look at him “Now that the matter of Ozpin death is finish let’s talk something far more important”

“And that would be?” Weiss ask

Robin turn to face her giving her a charming smile “One of it involves the Fall Maiden power” he said bluntly

Everyone tense at when he said that

“Wait,wait wait! Are you talking about the seasonal Maiden? Like in the story book?” Arc said with a disbelief tone

I can’t blame him

“All story have they’re origin, they only get altered with times goes on. And if you don’t believe me, Nemo if you could?” Robin said

I gave him a nod

I show them my empty hand “No dust” and create a sculpture of team RWBY and JNPR with my magecraft

Most of their eye bulge with Nora jumpng up and down with excitement

“If that’s not enough then watch” I brought out a metal pole from my storage and use alteration on it making it look like a screw

They just stood there with silence

“What Nemo just use is called magecraft. I could show you more but that would be wasting time so let get started” Robin said “Now most of us know that the last person who the maiden has in her head inherit the power right? Then there’s a chance that Cinder associate would have it, the question is who?”

“It’s obvious that Emerald has it, she was the closest to Cinder after all” Blake said

Everyone nod at that but Adam

“If it’s the thief that I don’t think so, I killed her on the way to the tower” He said casually

Team RWBY and JNPR was trying to hide their worries because a person who kill and didn’t bet an eye on it was amongst them

“You killed her? That’s good and all but do you have her weapon?” I ask with a hopeful tone

Adam just took out two very familiar twin gun and gave it to me

“Huh, there’s still blood in it, oh well” I said and store it in my soul, when I look around almost everyone was looking with me in either disproval, disgust, shock and anger except my- ahem the group of criminals

“What?” I ask them

“Nemo… that’s stealing” Ruby said with a frown

“No Ruby it’s called victory spoil, the winner takes and the loser falls, just like what happened to Cinder Falls, up top Yang!” I said and holding out a hi-five at Yang

And she gladly gave me one with a large grin

Now everyone was looking at her for agreeing with me

“What? It was a good one” Yang defended herself

“Anyway” Robn said “it still has a chance that the Maiden power is in the hand of the enemy or it’s lost now” he said

Everyone just sigh

“this is going to be searching a needle in a hay stack” Qrow said and start drinking “And I’m not drunk enough!”

“I’ll relay a message to my associate to find the Maiden, in the meantime we all should try and recover vale and especially Beacon now that the Grimm has all been exterminate by those four criminals” Robin said but I was confuse

“Four? I only see three of them, where’s the other one?” I ask looking around

Almost everyone, almost, look at me with deadpan

It took me a few minute to figure out why they are looking at me like that until it click

“HEY! Since when did I become a criminal!?” I ask in anger

Robin just step forward and took out a bundle of paper and begin reading it

“Before you went to Beacon you stole 2 SDC transportation ship filled with carts and dust, 100+ of the Atlas military weapon, 12000 Lien in Vacou, countless number of food in Mistral, and over a dozen dine and dash” Robin reads and look at me

“Nemo, Roman steals from the rich and gave it to the poor like I thought him. You on the other hand have no self-control when it comes to stealing, and this is a report from your last year activity” Robin finish waving a pieces of paper at me

I didn’t dare to look at anyone eyes. Especially my two girlfriends

“Wait! All this time Roman have been stealing from the riches and gave it to the poor” Blake said in disbelieve

“That’s so cool! You’re like, a dark hero!” Ruby said looking at Roman in a new light

“That’s… very contradiction of you” Weiss said earning a nod from Ren, Arc and Nikos

“Well what can I say, I’m a thief with a heart of gold” Roman said smoothly huffing himself in pride

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Cue, everyone sweat drop

“That’s about it anyway” Robin said before looking at General “ I know you want to perform your duty but please let them go, believe it or not those criminals that you wanted to arrest is the very reason that Beacon still stands”

The general just stood there for a few second before giving out a sigh “Fine, just this once I’ll look the other way around but that person on the other hand” Genearal said pointing his finger… at me? “I want you to return all of the military weapon you stole as soon as possible”

I just nod at him

Don’t worry general I’ll return them

Just not all of them

After the general went out followed by Glynda and Qrow the only one left inside the room is team RWBY, JNPR, Robin, Florance, Adam, Roman and Neo

The silence was broken by Arc

“So…all this time you’re a wizard Nemo?” he said

“The correct term is Magus but yeah” I said and shrug

“Did your parent teach you all those cool magic trick!?” Nora ask jumping up and down with one arm raise

“I was created by a dimension-hopping blood sucking trolling vampire so I don’t have a parent and the one who taught me magecraft is the student of said vampire” I answer

Everyone look at me with a raised eyebrow

“That sarcasm might be a little too thick princess” Roman said with Neo nodding her head

“Yea yea sue me for it will ya, oh you can’t! The first thing the police will do is arrest you” I said with a smug smile earning a scowl from him

“Ignoring the two idiots what will you do now Adam?” Robin said

“With me out of the picture the extremist faction might crumble or a new head will takeover” He said still seated with his arm cross

“Extremist faction?” Weiss ask who is the farthest from Adam, probably doesn’t trust him a bit

“Lesson time kiddies!” Roman said tapping his cane “You all know that the White Fang is a peaceful group before being label as a terrorist right? The White Fang are divided in three faction the peace faction, revolution, and extremist”

Everyone just nod their head at the information

“The original faction which is the peace faction tried to confront the council with civilised manner yet was met with harsh comeback and thus disbanded scatter throughout Remnant”

The group was shock at the information with Blake and Adam who has a sad expression on their face

I, being the good boyfriend- okay not that good, comfort her with holding her hand

She squeeze it tightly

Ouch! Okay she’s must be very upset at the information, Blake could you please not use reinforcement unconsciously while grabbing my hand?

Yes? No? no… okay

“But some of the Faunus was still dissatisfied about the outcome so they retaliate, the group become bigger once they see a change occurred and thus born the revolution faction, they still seek equalities but they won’t stand still if they see they’re fellow Faunus was harm”

“but one Faunus wasn’t satisfied so he did more” Roman said but was stop when Adam continue to speak for him

“He wants more than equality, the Faunus rise in rank and took control small part of the group who share the same hatred for human, they wish to exterminate all human using any necessary means, those were the extremist faction, the faction that I started” Adam said still seated on his sofa

All of us were now starring at Adam

The silence was thick enough to be cut

‘Nemo’ Mai

‘Yes?’ me

‘Aren’t you forgetting someone?’ Mai

‘Who? Xion, she’s still uncouncios’ me

‘I meant Penny’ Mai

‘Who? I don’t remember anyone with the name that interrupts a sad drama that I would very much enjoy’

‘….Nemo’ Mai

‘Yes?’ me

‘Grow up’ Mai said in the driest tone

‘NEVER!’

“So… what change your mind to help save Beacon?” the first one to respond was your’s truly, Ruby

Adam stare at Ruby silently before answering “My mentor found me, my mentor was disappointed on what I’ve become and beat some sense in me… literally” he said and shivered a bit, is it really that bad?

“The Mad Bull turn over a new leaf because he was scolded by his mentor! Wish I could have seen that” Roman said and laugh, Nora join him as well… it was a very odd sight

Ignoring the two, all of us stare at Robin

Blinking in surprise he waves his hand “Sorry but my only student is Roman and Neo, Adam isn’t mine”

On cue everyone stare at Adam expecting an answer

Heaving a sigh Adam humour us “My mentor is a woman wh-“

“And it’s a woman! Haa hahahaha- ouf!” Roman got his air knock out by a kick on the stomach, courtesy of Blake

May you rest in peace my fellow thief

“… as I was saying, my mentor is a woman who call herself a king for some reason, her overall attire is black and she had pale blond hair” Adam describe his mentor

While the other just nod their head my eye went wide while cold sweat started to came out

I wasn’t the only one thou, Robin and Florence was also in the same condition as me

“King of knight” Robin mutter under his breath

Adam seems to heard him “Yes, that’s what she call herself sometimes… do you know her?”

I can’t believe it, what kind of shitty coincidence is this!?

By the five true magic this is ridiculous!

And no wonder his swordsmanship was that good, his mentor is Arthoria Pendragon

I repeat his mentor is Arthoria Fucking Pendragon! For root sakes! And not the normal Arthoria but an Alter Arthoria!

He must have been through hell being train by her

You have my respect Adam Taurus

“Continuing where I left off, after my mentor made me realise what I’ve become and the wrong I did I was devastated, I was even going to kill children!” Adam yell in self-loathing while hanging his head in shame

The other didn’t know what to say, as for Blake

“Adam…” she said in a sad tone

…

‘are you-‘ Mai

‘Shut. Up’ me

“Thankfully she was able to help me when I explain my situation to her” Adam said

“I can’t believe your mentor would still help you, even after what you did, I expect her to abandon you” Weiss voice out her thought

“That’s what teacher are Weiss, if one of their student were to mess up or walk a dangerous path they would be there to help them to stand back up and direct you toward the right path. If you ask me being a teacher sounds like a lot of work as good as being one sounds like” I said offhandedly

“Aren’t you going to be one?” Lie ask me with a raise eyebrow

“Don’t remind me you emo” I glare at him

While I was glaring Ren robin notice it was late

“Let’s end this discussion now shall we? After the event took place tonight I’m sure all of you must be tired” and just on time everybody yawn

Robin chuckle a bit

“Florence why don’t you show them the bedroom is” Robin said and leaves the room followed by his two apprentices

Florence just nods her head and lead team RWBY and JNPR…. And Penny to the bed room

The only one left is Blake, Adam and me

The two of them are staring at each other

Wait

Don’t tell me an event is about to unfold in front of me?

“Blake” Adam

When he call out her name Blake stiffen a bit

The temperature in the room drop a bit

“Nemo, I’m not going to hurt her and… can you leave us alone for a bit, I promise I won’t harm her” Adam said looking at me in the eye

I know that silly~ I was doing that to add a dramatic effect

I turn toward Blake and she gave me a nod and a smile

Taking that as my cue I walk away and close the door

I wasn’t surprise to see the two team are still outside with a very displease Berserker behind them

“Worried about Blake?” I ask an obvious question

“She’s my partner, and I’m worried Mr Bull there did something to her” Yang said

“I don’t think he would do anything stupid with two Heroic Spirit in this building” I said

“Well, we still don’t trust that Man” are you sure it’s not only you miss Schnee?

“While I find your concern for your friend is respectable but staying awake more than you should will degrade your health” Florence suddenly interrupts our conversation

She reaches out toward her bag and took out a syringe that contains very deadly looking liquid

“If any of you have trouble sleeping then I may have something to help, huh?...” Florence said and realise that all of them made a run for it the moment they Florence took out that syringe

The only one that was still there is me, so she turn and look directly at my eye

I saw a glint in her eye… a shiver run down me

“I’m a homunculus that required 3 hour of sleep so don’t worry” is said hoping that she would let me pass

She tilt her head a bit and give me a nod

SAFE!

“No excuse” she said

Not safe!

The next moment I was consume by darkness

Rest in peace me

0-0-0

When my instinct flare I open my eye and immediately tilt my head to the side, the next second an arrow was found where I had my head was

An arrow filled with deadly poison based on how the smell it gave off

I turn and look at the one responsible for it and found him smiling at me with a lazy expression

“Good morning” he said

Good morning my ass! Who in Blue’s right mind wake someone up using a poison arrow!? Are you trying to kill me or are you just doing it for the sake of having fun!?

I stand up from my position and mutter a reply “Morning… how are the other?”

“They’re still sleeping and I only have enough hand to cook for the kids so you better prepare something for your company by then” he said and exit the room

I follow his lead and went toward the kitchen

Should I cook Japanese breakfast? I haven’t had it since forever

I just hope the other will like it

0-0-0

Turns out my worries was misplace

“it’s very well made, I would like to request we exchange our recipe” Ren

“Wow, not only you look like a girl but you cook like one as well” that is not a compliment Arc in fact that’s sexist

“Nemo, can you teach me how to cook if you have the time?” Nikos, I’m sure anything you cook Arc will gladly eat it

“Merry me~” Blake I know you like the fish but please don’t talk with your mouth full

“This is good, but not as good as pancake!” ten point to the one who can guess who that it

“If you cook for us like this from now I might forgive you for the stolen dust” hmm… I’ll think about it Weiss

“The breakfast that you prepare is amazing friend Nemo” Oi, is it okay if you eat that? You are a robot

“Tch, looks like I have to up my game” go ahead Yang I’ll be prepare when it’s your turn to cook

“mmhpm mhmmp” same problem as Blake do. Not. Talk. With. Your. Mouth. Full. Ruby

“Eh, teach cooks better than this” Roman said with a shrug. You, get out of here

Neo just gave me a sign board with 7/10 written on it

As for Adam he just silently eat his share silently, it would make him look cool if it wasn’t for the stack of bowl beside him

Adam Taurus is a glutton, who knew?

As if noticing my thought he turn toward me and said “Hunger is the enemy”

…

No comment, beside it’s not like disapprove of it,

“Are you going to watch us eat or join us as well Xion?” I suddenly ask and everyone look toward the door where they can see Xion head peeking out

If the ‘eep!’ was any indication I think we just surprise her

The look of shock on her face immediately disappear and replace with a face of joy

The next second in a speed that even Atalanta couldn’t see Xion gave me a tackle hug

“It wasn’t a dream! You really remember me and your real!” Xion said and rub her face on my chest while crying

I was about to pry her off when I suddenly felt a large amount of killing intent

I look over my shoulder and saw my two girlfriends sharpening their respective weapon with a glint in their eye

“Nemo, Care to tell your relationship with this girl” Blake said

“I’ve been wondering that as well, you couldn’t possibly cheat on us could you?” Ruby said

Just where you two came to that kind of conclusion!? Better yet who in Root name teach you the Tohsaka-oneesama smile!?

It’s godamn fucking scary!

Oioioioioi can’t any of you wait for an explanation, and this really feel like a romcom bullshit

I look toward the other only to find them having a solemn expression on their face

“He was so young hic” Nora said crying on Ren shoulder who is the only one with a stoic expression

“Your names will past on as a legend my friend” Roman said wiping a fake tear with Neo beside him waving a piece of tissue

“It was nice knowing you buddy” Dammit Yang stop your sister and save me

Tch they’re useless, looks like I can only rely on him

I turn toward Adam and give him a S.O.S. sign

He look at me for a brief moment before giving me a salute

…

…

…

SCREW YOU ALL!!!

And this is the worst morning ever! Gaaaaaahhh!!!!
