Chapter 5
Just a little bit more… … and there! Finish!
I take a good look at my recent creation, looking it at every side and angle
I have to say for my first time I did a good job on making a black key
Well… a black key made of ice of course, instead of just stopping the target when it hits the shadow like a normal black key, this black key will spread ‘Freeze curse’ on the victim
*knock**knock*
I store the black key and went toward the door
Wonder who it is? Probably Ozpin or Ruby
When I opened the door I was greeted by the black beauty of team RWBY
“Yes, how can I help you?” I ask her
She take a quick look at me, and then nod to herself
“Can we talk… alone” She said
I thought about it for a second and comply
I step back giving her a room to get inside. Once she’s in side I close the door and apply a bounded field around my door
I turn and face her, waiting for what she was about to say
She took out something from her pocket and show it to me
“This, do you know about them?” she ask
That!?
“Oi! Isn’t that a page from the book I let you borrow!? Why would you rip it!? I knew letting you borrow it was a bad idea!” I yell in anger
‘you’re concern is completely misplaced’ Hassan said
busted
“Don’t play dumb, I’ve met them before” WHAT?! “and I almost die if it wasn’t for that person help” she says reminiscing her past
Someone was able to fend off a servant? That’s… new
I know that the people in Remnant are stronger than Earth but… the strongest they could grow based on servant scale is D-rank
Well unless you train every moment of your life and have access to both aura and magic circuit
I think
“They’re a non” I replied to the cat
“A… Non?” she asked in confusion
“Non of yer business” I said and snatched the page she ripped off
the shock face she has is delicious… sadly it was only for a second because right now she’s glaring at me in anger
I silently pull out my gunblade under my cloak
“Non of my business? They’ve been appearing in Remnant out of nowhere and gone the second we thought we could hit them!” She yell
So she tried to chase them huh? Aren’t you a brave kitty?
“they’ve been causing chaos the moment they appear! Many innocent people die and you said it’s ‘non of yer business’” She seethe
I stare at her blankly
I could just hypnotise on her but… I’m not good enough to manipulate her past memory
Or I could just ignore her, but then again she’s the type who is persistent and may drag Ruby along the ride
Decision decision….
Wait, I just remember that she’s a Faunas
… well, I hope this work
“I don’t want to hear that from a member of a white fang” I said… in monotone
Her eye went wide
Bingo!
Her hand reaches for her weapon but I already have my gunblade pointed at her throat
I remove my mask so she can see my smirk
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
“H-how did you know?” she asked
My smirk grew larger
“Well… actually, I didn’t know, I was just accusing you without any prove or any knowledge, but now I know” I said “I guess you could say the cat out of the bag *snicker*” I couldn’t help myself and make a pun
‘that was horrible’ Hassan
‘Agree” Atalanta
“What are you going to do about it” she asked without a hint of fear… but sadly her eyes betray her
I take my time to consider what I should do, it’s obvious that Ozpin know about her
That bastard
‘You should let her help you’ Hassan suggest
‘Wha! I told you-‘
‘She’s already met them and also chasing them… and you saw how useless she feel when she talked about those people who died because of the tainted servant’
…
…
…
…
…
“*sigh* I won’t do anything” I said and lower my weapon and take a seat on my sofa
She just stare at me blankly. I roll my eye and motion her to seat beside me
When she did I clear my throat
“So… … what now” I ask her
“… … … … … … … Yang was right, you really do know how to kill the mood” she said while shaking her head “Are you sure you’re not going to tell anybody?”
“Nope, in exchange don’t tell anybody about those tainted servant” I said
“Tainted servant?” she ask
“Those thing that appear out of nowhere”
“so that’s what they called… what are they?” she ask again with curiosity in her eye
Girl. Haven’t you heard that curiosity killed the cat?
‘But satisfactory revive the cat’ Atalanta said sagely with a smile
“here” I said and hand her a book that I made just in case something like this happens
“’Servant for Dummies’?” she reads the title of the book and gave me a half lidded stare
“what?”
“You made a book because you’re too lazy to tell” crap she got me
“Don’t complain, once you read that I’ll have you help me in searching for those servant, but for now you should just stay in Beacon especially at night” I tell her
“Why?”
“*sigh* you’re not going to listen to me unless I give you a good reason are you?” I said looking at her
“Nope” she said popping the ‘p’ while smiling
Cheeky little cat
“I just identify a servant that have been causing the mass murder in vale, turns out the tainted servant is Jack the Ripper, An assassin class servant that specialise in killing female target, so don’t go to vale at night and can you do me a favour don’t let anyone in your team go at night too”
“I… see, that is a good reason but why does this servant specialise in killing female?”
“You still have that book I let you borrow right? I think it has information about her in there” I said while checking the time
8:23 p.m.
“I think you should go back to your room now, I don’t want to deal with anyone who suddenly barge in my room” which I doubt anyone could “and explain why you are alone here with me” I said in laid back manner
“and you can asked more question later”
*bang*
“Hey Nemo have you seen Blake I’ve been searching for … her” Ruby who just suddenly barge in asked
Both I and Blake just stare at her
Oh dear
The timing was too damned perfect
0-0-0
“So… there’s nothing going on with you two” Ruby asked for the 12th time
“For the last time no, now just go and grab your teammate and go back to your dorm and do… whatever you we’re going to do” I said to her
“oh, ok then. I was looking for Blake because we are going to have a team practice together! Hey why don’t you join us Nemo?” Ruby asked excitedly
I just smiled at her, and can’t help but wanting to agree with her but sadly I have to find Jack the reaper because letting her on the loose like that will only get more people killed
“Sorry Ruby but I have other thing to do and I already delayed it yesterday”
Her only response is an “oh” while looking dejected “well I’ll be going now” she says while making her way toward the gym
It really breaks my heart seeing her like that
“Hey Ruby!” I yelled to get her attention, and when she did I continue “ maybe next time you can invite me! I’ll even use my cloning semblance against you and your team to beat you up!”
When she heard that she brightens up and yelled back
“In your dream! Me and my team are going to crush you and your clone like a bug!” and turn around walking with more joyful step
‘Good job’ Hassan praise me
‘Thanks’ I replied
“You really care about her huh?” Blake said and look at me with a smirk
At first I was confuse but when I realise what she was implying I said my piece
“Well… she did confess to me last year” I said
“Wait what!? Does Yang knows about this!?” she said in shock
Hehehe that looks is also good on you, I should’ve brought a camera
“Sorry to burst your bubble but we’re not dating” I said with a smile
“Huh?so you rejected her?”
“Nope, I didn’t, I just said “I’ll think about it, it’s too soon so can you wait a bit””
When I said that Blake just gave me a look
“You know it’s not good to keep her waiting like that” she said and gave me another look but this one feels like she was looking at a low-life being
It hurtz!
“I know it’s just that… I don’t think she deserve someone like me. And as far as I know she deserve someone better” I said while keeping my smile
“Your just running away!”
“*sigh* yes I’m running away like a coward, but it’s for her sake”
Blake just nod at that and keep quite
“Anyway didn’t you have a team activity by now” I remind her
“Ah that’s right! I’ll be going now and still think you should answer Ruby confession! And good luck in your hunt!” she said running off while giving me a lazy wave
I just stand there and look at the disappearing figure of Blake
“now then” I said turning around and donned my mask “it’s hunting time”
0-0-0
The conclusion of the hunt was a success
… I guess
“You look like shit” said the black beauty beside my bed
“I Feel like shit”
I was currently in my bed while being wrapped in bandage all over my body because of the various cut and broken bones
Even with aura, my recovery will take several days
‘well that’s what you get fighting a servant without our help. But even so you did a pretty good job fighting Jack on your own, even thou your using my Noble Phantasm’ said Hassan
‘Mommy is strong’ said our new resident who has both her hand up in the air
“But I was able to kill the tainted servant, so it’s my victory” I said with a grin
Blake just heave a sigh and shake her head
Do you think I could come with you? In your next hunt?” she ask
If I say no she will probably get mad and then run on her own searching for the tainted servant
“Sure, but promise me that you will listen to me” I said
She just give me a smile and a nod, after that both of us we’re silent
The silence wasn’t awkward per-say but comforting. Especially with the sound of a page being turn

*Bang*
I slightly winced when Cardin smack Jaune away. I pity the poor sap. Seriously it’s been more than a month and he still hasn’t put up a good fight or a decent one. If I don’t know any better I think that he fake his transcript, but we all know that’s impossible since Ozpin is too smart to be fooled. But knowing that cryptic old bastard he probably ignore it because he finds Jaune interesting
That damn coffee addict
“everyone, the vytel festival is a few months away, it won’t be long before student from other kingdom comes to Vale so keep practising…” and yada yada yada
Sure, go ahead and have fun while I have to search for any tainted servant that may come here because of the festival!
Dammit, it’s not like I want to go and have fun, my mission is more important than that fancy festival humph!
I should bring along Blake in my next recon to cheer myself up
‘For someone who reluctantly having someone being drag in his fight you sure are exited’ Hassan said but I ignore her
My happiness comes first!

As usual I was having my lunch at the corner equipping Atalanta
Eating the freshly baked pancake covered by strawberry is truly a bliss~
But that’s not all! I also have a spaghetti that look impossibly delicious
Can this get any better!?
Why of course, with the strawberry cupcake deluxe as my final dish nothing can ruin my day!
“Ow! It hurts, please stop!”
“Gahaha told you it was real”
…
…
I should’ve seen that coming, I really hate you fate, I really do
I stand up from my sit and walk toward those commotion
“Oi, mind keeping it quite, you’re making the food taste bad” I said to cardin
When he heard me he look at me and sneer
“Whats this? Coming to help your fellow animal?”
“”Gahahahahaha””
You know I may still be injured but I can still pack a mean punch, and to prove it I’ll just punch this idiot here with Max reinforcement
“gahaha-ghua!?” was the only thing I heard from him before he went flying across the cafeteria
He was lucky I didn’t equip Kiyohime
“Hey! You’ll pay for that” ah that’s right, how can I forgot about his lackey and seriously that line is way~ too cliché
I reinforce my whole body, in a blink of an eye the three of them meet the same fate as Cardin
Fly away birdy~
hehehehe
I turn around facing the spectator
“Alright nothing to see here, go back to your food … or I’ll make you” I said with a smile that I copied from Tohsaka-neesama
And just as I expected they all turn around heh, coward the lot of them
‘hello pot I am kettle and you are black’ Atalanta mock me
‘shut it’
“u-um thank you” a small voice that came from the bunny girl
“huh?”I face her and take a good look at her, the shy look she has almost make me want to cuddle her, but doing so will label me as a sexual offender “If you don’t want to get bully anymore I advise you to eat with your friend, and before you say they’re busy you can go ahead eat with team RWBY and JNPR over there” I said pointing at the table the two team we’re using
“B-but I don’t want to impose” she said
“Eeh~ don’t worry about it those team are a bunch of justice seeking group so I don’t think you will impose on them, heck I bet they’re will be happy to have a new friend to join them”
“Is that so? T-then I guess I could” she said and gather her food and walk alongside me toward the table team RWBY and JNPR are using
“Just a bit of a warning thou, Ruby has a really bad luck so be careful” I said and pat her back before going back to my table to enjoy my food
Hey I just realise that after punching someone in the gut and face cheers me up!
Maybe I should do it more often
Yes, let’s do that
‘it looks like he will become a happy-go-punchy’ Kiyohime said
‘I can’t help but feel like it’s Yang fault that he suddenly found a new “enjoyment”’ Hassan said in a worrying tone
