Chapter 7

…

…

…

… There are many things that I was expecting when I open my eyes

Ruby sleeping at the side of my bed waiting for my recovery

Ozpin and Glynda waiting for an answer

Surrounded by team RWBY and JNPR

Blake siting on a chair near the window reading some book

A cute nurse coming to check on me

Don’t give me that look! it’s every guys dream to have a cute nurse to care for your need after a heroic battle

But none of those happened. Instead the first person I see is a woman with pinkish hair red eye wearing a military suit

My whole body was screaming at me to run away. Why? Because I’ve seen her picture in a certain book. A book filled with information about Heroic Spirit in the Throne of Heroes and she was inside of the book

Florence Night tangle, that’s her name. a Berserker class servant

With how I am now I don’t think I can fight much less run and scream

She turns her head and our eye met

Dead

I Nemo Yukihime am about to die. I close my eye hoping that my death would at least be painless

I can hear her foot step getting closer and closer and when she reach me I brace myself for the worst- “Ah, your awake how are you feeling?”

…

…

…

I did not expect that, not at all

WAIT! Don’t be fool me! She is probably trying to fool you with sweet and caring motherly tone to lower your guard! And when it’s too late..

She finishes you off!

Hah! I know what you’re doing you doing you can’t fool me!

‘Nemo’ Hassan calls me

‘yes?’

‘Stop being Delusional’

‘Right, sorry’

“It’s seems your fine for now but you better take another rest just in case, you’re all good so you can leave tomorrow” Nighttangle inform me and leave the room

…

Well… that was something I didn’t expect to meet another untainted servant, a berserker at that

I think this is the second servant I met that is not tainted

‘Agree’

With that I took Nighttangle advice and sleep once more hoping the next time I woke up it will be a pleasant one instead of a surprise like the shit that happened a few second ago

0-0-0

It did not

I got lecture by Glynda, Weiss, Nikos, Jaune, and last but not least… Ruby

… By order

“… What were you thinking fighting on your own like that!? Do you have any idea how worried I was when I saw you got stab?!” Ruby went on

This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

In my defence you guys just stand there gawking instead of jumping in and help me fight the servant. Oh wait! You guys can’t cause it’s impossible for you guys to fight a servant at your current state!

Of course I knew better than to tell her that

‘Hell hath no fury like a women scorn’ I said and internally nod sagely along with Atalanta and Kiyohime

Is it too late to choose death over this? This is a bit of humiliating. Ruby was the last person I want to lecture me about safety

The worst thing about being lecture is that you can’t say anything and just sit or stand there and receive the lecture

My eyes wonder over the calendar…

… A week? I was out a week!? Was my condition really that bad?

‘Well… you have a frostbites on your leg, stomach and arm, a hole in your gut, ¼ blood lose, and a concussion if I recall’ Atalanta inform me and I paled a bit

‘That’s not counting how you overuse your magic circuit to use Kiyohime’s flame. Your body heat level was at critical, you were lucky that you use your magecraft to lower your temperature beforehand and gave Blake the gem that was infused with your Cooldown spell’ Hassan adds in

…

I… would have remember feeling all the pain if my condition is that bad

‘Well let’s just say your magic circuit went haywire after you collapse’ Hassan tells me

I think I can accept that explanation

My eye went back to look at Ruby… I was surprise that she was on the verge of crying. Of course I didn’t show it

“… and- and when your heart stop beating” MY WHAT!? “I thought I was going to lose you two…” Ruby said and suddenly hugs me

… I can feel my shirt getting wet from her tear

‘you made a girl cry, shame on you’ said a new voice but I was too conflicted to guess who it was

I turn and face yang who is crossing her arm and glaring at me

Why are you glaring at me for!? I didn’t hurt her!

I then turn to Weiss hoping she could help me… only to receive a look that conveys a message that says ‘it’s your fault so you deal with it’

I then finally turn to Blake

She notice my stare. She close her eye thinking on what so do, when she opened her eye, she gave me a pure smile with a gesture of slicing her neck

… are you telling me to die you shitty cat!?

I sigh to myself. I’m not really the type of person who knows how to comfort someone

I just stroke her hair

The room was silent with only the sound of Ruby sniffling and the wind blowing through the window

“We’re Huntsmen Ruby, death will always be near us, and we will all die sooner or later. The question is When and How? Did you regret your life or not? Were you happy or not? And something along those line” I said in monotone without any hint of emotion

She only holds me tighter

0-0-0

The class ended without anything exciting… if you took out the part where Nora actually break someone leg

I made my way toward the rooftop and sit down watching the sky

‘so… mind telling who you are?’ I ask the new resident

‘Oh, right… my name is Natsumi Mai, it’s a pleasure to meet you Yuki-san’ the now named Mai said

‘It’s a pleasure to meet you to Mai, let’s work together from now on’ I said and went back to stare at the sky

I’ll check her identity and state next time

…

I close my eye and feel the wind brushing on my face. It felt nice and calming

All my life I have tried my hardest to distance myself around other. Of course I help people in need but I made sure that I leave an impression that I was a jerk

And then came Ruby

I don’t know how, why and when but she fell in love with me

I was 100% sure that I was avoiding any action that will turn me into a typical protagonist

‘What about the time you help the Velvet girl’ Atalanta ask

Ok first, I was tired and enjoying my meal so I don’t have any time or energy to think of a jerk-like act

Second, she looks too pitiful for me to be mean to her

And third stop interrupting my thought

…

Now where was i? oh yes the protagonist has a love interest shtick and love crap

Seriously, love is such a hassle. Just be nice to some girl help her from time to time and walah! She fell in love with you

…well those thing only happened in TV but whose to say that it won’t happened in real life?

And thus I avoid any possible action that may result in a budding love… and friendship

But all that effort went down the drain when that event happened

And ever since then those two tried to get close to me annoying the hell out of me

Look at us now! Yang being someone who is a great friend to me and me to her

Ruby… falls in love with me and I might… have a bit, just a bit tiny little speck of feeling toward her

And I also made new friend because of her connection. I even got a partner in crime!

While I enjoy my connection with them, I know- NO! I will suffer because of it and so will they

…

I think I should stop thinking something like this

Yep! Let’s think of something else

‘Hey Mai did the other told you the gist of thing on what I’m doing?’ I aske her

‘yep’ she replied

‘If it’s ok with you I want to test your skill and noble phantasm a bit’

‘sure, I don’t mind, the better you know my skill the better chance you have in a fight’

With that I equip Mai

My pure white hair change to the colour of blue when I did so

Now let’s see what skill you have aside from that weapon of yours…

!?

W-what the!? M-my body!

I inspect my body and found out that my whole body structure change

WHY IN ROOTS NAME MY BODY CHANGE INTO A WOMEN!?

‘Oi, Mai! What kind of shitty skill you have that change your gender!?’ I demand her

‘Ah… well you see, I was originally a male, something happened at my past life got me turned into a girl. I guess that part of my legend turn it into a skill ahaha’ she laugh it off

‘Don’t you “ahaha” me! What use do I have with a women body?! And no dirty joke sis’ I said and I can feel that Hassan pouted at me

‘well… that’s sexist. But I can tell you the advantage of having a women a body! You see…’ and she begun her explanation

…

‘… the center of a women body is lower than that in a man’s thus makes it’s harder for them to be knock off balance. Women’s body also tend to be more flexible, a natural advantage which is increased by the type of exercise women do-‘

‘OK! That’s enough already you prove your point… and stop feeling smug about it you trans’

‘Aren’t you one too now?’ she said with an eyebrow raised

Touché I think I like you already

‘the flower of Lily has bloomed! Yattaaa!’ Hassan faked cheers

‘Get your mind out of the gutter women! I’m nothing from the likes of you’ I play along

‘I get the feeling that it would be more rowdy here in the future’ Atalanta sigh

‘well, the more the merrier?’ Mai said unsure

0-0-0

The food… doesn’t taste so good when you’re being watch like this

I open one of my eye and see that most of team RWBY looking at me, waiting for something to happened

“*sigh* ok what do you guys want now?” I said bluntly,

Seriously they’ve been staring at me like I’m some sort of endangered animal since the moment I enter the cafeteria

“N-nothing is just that..” Weiss trail off letting Yang to continue

“You seem ok for someone who just had a fight to the death and a week at the ward”

“On that note I, we never thought that could fight like that” Nikos said getting giddy on the idea of fighting someone strong

Oh dear

‘Hey! You haven’t’ said that since chapter 1’ Hassan

‘chapter…1? What are you talking about’ Mai

‘Don’t mind her Mai-san he’s just on his own world right now’ Kiyohime

‘oh’

“Of course I’m fine. I am the Nameless Snow princess, something like that is nothing to worry about. And I happened to like hiding my strength to surprise my enemy” I said and quickly equip Mai, puffing my proud chest forward which is bigger than Yang’s

Most of the girl look at my chest in envy

Yes~ yes~ look how superior I am than you in every aspect Muahahaha

“Wait, since when do you have a breast?” Jaune pointed out

Everyone snap out and realise the change I have

“Eh? Wait your right and his,her? Hair change to a blue colour! That mean’s he has a new possession!” Ruby said happily

“Wait, doesn’t that hair colour is the same colour the one who attack us in Forever fall” Weiss said in suspicion

…

Everyone went quite thinking it’s too much of a coincidence

I can see that they’re connecting the dote

“Nemo… your semblance doesn’t happened to be stealing someone else semblance by killing them right?” Yang ask in horror

Well it is technically true but if I said yes it will probably ruin our relationship I had with them

“…” I stay silent and continue eating

“C’mon Yang! Stop joking Nemo’s semblance is nothing like that, right Nemo?” Ruby ask with a wry smile

Wait…isn’t this the perfect chance for me to cut ties with them?

“Nemo?”

“I… I”

*punch*

Ruby hut my arm lightly “Well even if it is your semblance it won’t change my feeling toward you. Beside you killed her to protect Jaune and Cardin right?” she said and continue munching her cookie

With that the rest of our group ease up a bit because I was doing the right thing even thou I was also doing the wrong thing

I peek at Ruby for bit and look back at my food

“…Idiot” I whisper to myself

*nudge*

I look to my left and see Blake giving me a half-smirk and a half-warm smile

How is that possible? I want to learn that!

I equip Atalanta back and continue eating ignoring the tail I have is swaying happily
