"So, are you going to answer my question or not, Senpai?" He would prefer not to.
He couldn't even handle the police, so there was no way he could handle something far more terrifying, that something being an angry girlfriend. And as far as angry girlfriends went, he was willing to bet Iroha was amongst the most spiteful.
If he messed up here, he would get socially assassinated all the way to hell. It that was even possible for a loner of course.
Now, what was he supposed...
"Now? Of all times?"
The man, Array Denkuts, was on his knees. "I beg of you milady! We need your help!" He most certainly did.
According to him, his village was now infected with something that turned the man into undead. And if that wasn't terrifying, then Heitor didn't know what was. At the same time though, he wasn't exactly surprised.
Zombies weren't as common as bandits, but they appeared in plenty of Fire Emblem entries.
Al sighed. "Should I drag him out of ...
This was not the first time Heitor had been in the same room as all the five candidates for the throne of Lugunica.
There was something different about this time however, it felt more... intimate. Probably because instead of them all being inside of a gigantic throne room, they were inside of a random place Priscilla had rented so that they could meet.
Although it wasn't like the candidates were the only people present. Heitor had obviously come as Priscilla's bodyguard, while F...
"Explain."
"Lady Priscilla... Now..." He let out an awkward chuckle. "W-we simply didn't notice any men entering the building." Right. Sure.
It was incredible how Heitor didn't feel any pity towards the man at all, even though Priscilla was lifting him by his damn collar. This was the guy who was clearly completely okay with getting them killed after all, so as far as Heitor was concerned, he was no better than a assassin.
But Emilia didn't see it that way. "L-Lady Prisci...
Assassins were coming from all sides of the hotel...
How!? They had knights outside who were meant to protect them, so how did those guys let the assassins pass!? Were they just that fucking useless or what?!
No, he didn't have the time to think about it. Instead he got up, and summoned his Rapier. It was time to weather the storm that was chapter three.
And the first thing he should do was... "Wake! Wake up! There are assassins everywhere!" Wake up his allies up...
"T-thank you very much for your help! I'll pay you back some day!"
The half-elf was bowing to them. As soon as the beginning event of the Selection ended, she had come and asked to talk with Priscilla, and her servants privately.
Heitor had wondered what she wanted, but in the end she just wanted to express her thanks. How very Deirdre of her. Cute.
Priscilla however, was very much not cute. "No need to thank me, I did not wish to help you in any way. Those men were just...
"Just gotta stay quite and relaxed... quiet and relaxed..." Heitor was repeating those words to himself like a mantra.
Aldeberan chuckled. "You don't sound very calm and relaxed, cousin." Of course he didn't! This was serious business! "Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything, they won't hurt you."
Heitor slowly nodded. "Yeah... Even so, stepping foot onto such a important place, as a foreigner, feels kinda of weird. Right?" They were currently inside of the palace.
"Yo, cousin. The princess is calling you."
And like that, his dreams of having a nice rest to prepare for the next day had gone away with the wind. He was already super tired from 'shopping' with her, so couldn't she give him a break!?
And he said 'shopping' because in the end she didn't actually buy a single damn thing! As it turns out, nothing produced by this city is worthy of her coin. So all she did was go around calling people mean names...
Heitor held back a scowl....
As soon as they jumped out of the carriage, information flew onto his head once more.
Their enemies were a small group of Wolgarm. There was nothing particularly special about the beasts, its bites did curse people, but that curse was broken when the mabeast died. Considering Wolgarms did not have the intelligence to retreat, it did not matter.
However, there was one Mabeast amongst the bunch that did worry him. It was a Wagpig... a giant looking hippo that was pretty much invin...
Heitor was back inside the most dreadful thing in the world. The carriage.
A place where he was forced to stay close to a traitor, a ninja who was always way too cheerful, and a crazy woman who didn't hesitate to kill. He envied Schult really, who got to just lead the carriage with no worries.
But there was one convenient thing about being near Priscilla, he could test a theory. "By the way Ladi Priscilla, I found this early in the morning. Is it yours?" He handed her a piece of...
"I can't believe she kicked me out..." Had he not gained her trust at all!?
Priscilla went to talk with the noble in private, and took pretty much only Aldeberan with her. So now Heitor was in a place he knew nothing about, while scared that any rule breaking could get him killed!
Yae pat his back. "Don't sweat it, she pretty much always takes only Al to those." She scoffed. "I guess she has some special story with him. Poor newbie servants like us get nothing."
He raised...
Bandits.
They were a staple of many first maps of Fire Emblem. Typically being weak as fuck, and ugly as much, essentially generic enemies meant to be used as fodder to teach players the bare basics of the game.
They also tended to wield axes. This was important because Fire Emblem lords tended to use swords, and due to the weapon triangle, that meant the protagonist usually had the advantage against them.
Basically, they were sacks of EXP. Just meant to be killed.
"Hey, you okay man?"
How is one supposed to react when they suddenly appear in the middle of some unknown road? It was a pretty scary situation. Especially since he was awakened by some sort of strange looking gladiator.
"Seriously, are you just staring at me out of annoyance, or because you're feeling sick or something?"
The gladiator wasn't just any gladiator either. Aldeberan was his name, and he was moderately skilled with a sword, enough to challenge your average kni...
"You seem very stressed young master."
Fuyuki grimaced. "That's because I am stressed. That detective is a pain." It would be strange if he wasn't stressed after meeting the Ultimate Detective.
He was by all intents and purposes the ultimate evil scumbag after all. Her natural enemy. So even though the meeting had gone well, it was only natural he was still feeling some amount of fear even after getting home.
Satan chuckled. "Scared that she will somehow get you all the...
"You want me to pardon two criminals who were planning a terrorist attack of never before seen proportions on Vale?"
Elroy hesitantly nodded. "Y-yes, I am asking that." Even he could tell that sounded stupid.
Ironwood's eye twitched. "That obviously cannot be done, I'm sorry." He glared at Neo. "To be honest, I don't even know why this woman is not restrained like her partner, I'm certain I gave the order to do so, and yet she sits on your lap."
Neo smirked. The reason wh...
"You think they're okay back there?"
Yang nodded. "Probably. Oobleck is a Huntsman, and one that teaches at Beacon. Guy is probably scary strong." Even if he was a quirky man, Yang wouldn't be surprised if he was as strong as her uncle.
Elroy grimaced. "If you say so..." He wanted to be there, in the thick of it.
Not because he particularly enjoyed fighting terrorists, considering his last experience with them had been him trying to run and failing miserably. However, he ...
"Good morning brat! Or well... it's not really morning."
Elroy slowly opened his eyes. "Torchwick..." He tried moving his arms, but something strong was holding them together, and most importantly, it was restraining his Aura. "Bastard..." Did they knock him out?
Roman pouted. "Hey, I was not born out of wedlock. Probably. I don't actually know, mommy didn't fill me in before dropping me in a orphanage." He chuckled. "But enough about me, let's talk about you and..."
He m...
"Oh! I'm so excited! I cannot wait to visit your home, husband."
Elroy chuckled. "If I were you, I would temper my expectations." If she didn't, she would be severly disappointed. "Seriously, that place is super cramped." As one would expect from quite possibly Vale's cheapest apartment.
Penny giggled. "That just means being I will be as close to you as I want, a victory in my books, as Ruby would say!"
Yep, she was gonna be disappointed. "It's less that you can be as cl...
"Hey Penny, hey Elroy!" In a burst of petals, Ruby appeared before then.
Penny happily waved at her. "Hello Ruby! Am I to assume class is finally over?" She couldn't actually go with her friends to it, sadly.
Ruby quickly nodded. "Yep! It was super ultra boring, so like... better than usual." At least this time Professor Port had actually given some real advice, maybe because he was worried about the upcoming mission? That sounded pretty plausi—.
It didn't matter right ...
"So, I know you guys have technically met each other in the past, but... I feel like a reintroduction is in order."
Mostly because Akiha had all but confirmed to have all but forgotten the poor woman. Which was a bit mean in his opinion, Noel was many things, but he wouldn't call her unforgivable, that was for sure.
Her big ass already made her unforgettable!
Akiha nodded. "Very well." She was actually a bit embarrassed. How did she forget this woman!?
Sure, she d...
"So... like... I guess I'm gonna meet with everyone back in the mansion and apologize."
Waver gulped. "I see..." He debated asking the Campione if he would kill him or not.
In the end Waver decided against it. Mostly with the hopes that if Yato did want to kill him for his previous outburst, he would just forget about it. It's not like the teen had the sharpest memory around.
Yato scratched his cheek. "Though first I need to go and get everyone back in the hotel." And pr...
"So... um..." Jaune desperately tried avoiding eye contact. "I'm sorry for my previous behavior. I won't try to challenge you to duels anymore."
Elroy gave him an awkward thumbs up. "It's fine, Jaune. We cool." He was a bit nervous, and not because of poor Jaune of course.
But because of the angel of death that was watching them. "Good. Good. I'm now satisfied, we may all begin eating." Weiss had held the entire table hostage until the little cretin apologized to her husband.
"So, how did the meeting with Ozpin go?"
Elroy scratched his cheek. "Fine, I guess." He was expecting a lot more suspicion from the headmaster. "He just asked me to tell what happened during the dance." And so he did.
Elroy touched Penny, Soul Bonded to her, she passed out while saying some really strange words, and then the soldiers tried restraining Elroy. Thankfully it didn't escalate beyond that, but the dance had to be canceled. Something which Yang and Weiss definitely did...
"So, what did you want to talk about sir?"
The general nodded. "Very well, let's get straight to the point. I would like you to join Atlas Academy."
"Ah." So it was just another offer to become a Huntsman? "I'm not really interested, sorry." Even if he did join an academy, it would probably be Beacon, since he already lived in Vale. Also, his wives were attending it.
Ironwood raised an eyebrow. "That's what I have been lead to believe, but I see you have been training wi...
"Elroy! You're here!" Ruby threw herself at him with her Semblance.
Naturally, he fell on his ass, and Ruby fell on top of him. This now marking the second time Ruby had brought him low with her Semblance. Thankfully... or sadly, he did not get married to a new woman this time. He also thankfully didn't hit head.
"Ruby! I will skin you alive!" But Weiss did not see that, so she naturally got angry.
The girl blushed. "Sorry, I just got super excited that he was finally her...
"So... what do you guys wanna do?" In the end he thought it better to let them decide on the next course of action.
Mostly because he wanted them to be more or less comfortable in this... date. After all, while he was in a awkward position with the sudden marriage, they had to have way worse than him. No girl expected to suddenly become a member of a... harem, or whatever it was called.
Weiss curtsied, she sure was sophisticated. "Oh, I don't care about the place. Any time spent...
It was another wonderful morning for team RWBY and team JNPR. And as usual, they were eating breakfast together.
However, there was an elephant in the room, one that Jaune addressed. "So, what's up with Yang's sick new tattoo?" He had always wanted one, but he never had the courage for it. And he couldn't even imagine how it scary it must have been to get one for the neck!
After asking his question, he went back to eating. As usual, Beacon's food was actually pretty good.
His plans of going on a date were quickly torn apart, as he and his entourage went to... register. Well, more like they went to figure out what the hell was happening.
And somehow, in ways that he could not comprehend, by the end Roy was staring at the legendary headmaster of Beacon, and his headmistress. Seriously, how had things escalated so far!?
Glynda Goodwitch was hounding them as if she was some sort of top predator. "Why is it that whenever there is trouble, somehow you...
Soul Bonding.
It was a extremely rare phenomenon. It occurred when two people touched each other, while having compatible souls. Their souls would then intertwine, and their lives would be shared, the pair would fall in love. It was said to be a bond closer than anything else in the entire world.
It also came with a variety of benefits, mostly for Huntsmen and Huntresses. They could share their Aura, even share their Semblances, and it was said that they also fought perfectly si...
"Oh, you're back, Senpai." Yuta found himself being woken up by Ciel's late return.
Which was something unusual, actually. He tended to be a pretty heavy sleeper, which was convenient for a man trying to build a harem. Although he imagined his supposed mega instincts would wake him up should he ever be in danger.
Ciel sighed. "Yes, sorry to wake you up." She looked tired.
Not in the sense that she looked like she needed to sleep, Yuta guessed she was used to nights like t...
