Chapter 12
3rd POV
The Grimm was too much. Team RWBY was getting tired because of the endless onslaught.
They we’re fine at first but the Grimm just keep coming. There were just too many Grimm
They can only pray that reinforcement arrived sooner
And it did
In a form of a black meteor
The meteor crash down kicking up cloud of dust obscuring the figure that rises
Everyone was silent. Even the Grimm
All they’re focus is on the newcomer
When the dust cloud disperse, an armour figure is displayed
Every inch of the figure body is clad in pitch black armour. It can be describe as a Black knight
The black knight has black fog surrounding it. A couple of tendril can also be seen
The visor on the helmet glow neon blue
The black knight reel it’s head back. Team RWBY can hear that the black knight is taking a deep breath
They had seen this action before, the black knight will probably howl the name “Arthur”
That was the thought of team RWBY
After a few second the knight unleash a mad howl
“CHOOOCLATEEeeEEeeee!!!”
Team RWBY immediately face faulted
Inside the train Roman Torchwick only has one thing to say
“What kind of battle cry is that?”
Back to Team RWBY, all of them already recover from the idiocy that came from their reserve member
“Remind me to smack him in the head when this is all over” Blake said with a tick mark on her head
“C’mon with Nemo here our fight is going to get easier and while the Grimm is distracted by Nemo we should take our chances” Said the red headed leader
Her team comply and engage the enemy once more
Nemo POV
I always wanted to do that
‘Which one? The grand entrance or the stupid howl?’ Mai
‘Both’ I said and inwardly smile
‘Do I have to remind you two that we’re surrounded by Grimm?’ Hassan
‘It seem so’ Atalanta
‘Arthur!’
‘We’re surrounded by Grimm? Are you sure? Because from the looks of it…’ Me
‘… The Grimm is surrounded by us!’ Mai finish happily
‘’’….’’’
‘There’s only one of us though... from outside perspective’ Atalanta
‘Shut up! You’re ruining the moment!’ Mai
‘Just fight already’ Hassan

After retreating back to Beacon, I immediately went to my room and flop on my bed
I thought after all those fight I can immediately go to sleep but no
I have to deal with the pain of overusing Mad enchantment
IT HUUUUURTSSSSS!
WHY!?
I thought that my body become strong and magic circuit was enough to receive that amount of prana and strength
Don’t tell me I’m still weak?

I was walking around the Campus after watching Team RWBY fight and I have to say
They’re getting stronger
If this keeps up it won’t be long until one of their state reach E+ Rank in servant scale
Anyway right now I’m using Jack’s Presence concealment to walk around
I have my reason why I don’t want to be found out
Mainly because of all the stall set up here
Knowing my two girlfriends they probably empty my wallet by the end of the festival
Oh, speak of the devil there they are
And it seem’s like they’re ordering a large amount of food
Especially Blake
The shop owner suddenly throw a card at the table… and get stuck
How did he throw a plastic card like a shuriken? I wonder if he’ll teach me
“What! How can my card be decline? I was barely into my monthly allowance” Weiss wonder
While that happen Blake was trying to sneak off with the bowl of noodle
Emphasis on ‘try’
When the shop owner take back the bowl from Blake she cried in despair
Ohh, how I relinquish your despair
‘Now that’s just creepy’ Mai
“Maybe I can help?” Came Nikos and her team
Ruby was excited to see her while Blake gain some hope
“I think you all earned it after that battle” said Nikos
What’s this? She’s going to treat Team RWBY for free
Without me!
When the shop owner gave back their noodle I quickly placed my hand on their bowl and store it in my storage
Yang and Ruby first and then Weiss and Blake
They we’re surprise that their food disappear right in front of them
Ehehehe
‘Now that’s just petty’ Mai
“What?! Where did our food go!?” Yang ask in anger
“I… have no idea” Ruby
“Food doesn’t just disappear like that! Someone must have stolen it” Weiss was also getting angry
“NOOOoo my food uhuh uhuh *sob*” Blake… oh pitiful Blake how delicious it is to taste your tear
‘Ew’ Mai
‘I meant metaphorically’ Me
“that was weird, I wonder who did it?” Jaune
“oh, oh maybe it’s a ghost” Nora
“why would a ghost steal food?” Ren
“Well it doesn’t matter who steal it! Once I find them I’ll give them a lesson of a lifetime!” Yang
Oo, scary… not
“Calm down, why don’t you order again don’t worry I’m still going to pay” Nikos said
Nikos you’re too nice. Learn to say no dammit
“Really!? Thanks Phyyra you’re the best!” Ruby cheered
“Hey have any of you seen Nemo? We can’t find him anywhere” Blake suddenly ask team JNPR
I’m right behind you Blakey
JNPR shake their heads
“We’ll worry about him letter, for now let’s eat” Weiss
“Now that I can agree with” Yang
I think that’s my cue to get out of here
I get away from the noodle stand and wonder around. Inspecting other stands that might catch my interest
I was too distracted that I bumped on someone
She was short black hair blue eyes wears a black hooded coat and black glove in her arm is a strawberry ice cream
Looking at the ice cream I have a sudden carving for ice cream
“Ops sorry” The girl apologise
I stare directly in her eye. I wave my hand and said
“Don’t worry it was an accident, but if you don’t mind can you tell me where you got the ice cream?” Me
“Well the stands that sell this ice cream is right around that corner. Oh, my name is Xion by the way” the now named Xion said while pointing at a specific direction
“Nemo Yukihime, anyway thanks for the help” I said and walk away
Somehow I got the feeling that she’s still staring at me but I ignore it
The ice cream is more important
0-0-0
It didn’t take long to find where the ice cream stand is. Looking over the menu I can see various flavour they’re selling
‘Three apple flavour for me’ Atalanta requested
‘sure’ me
“So, what would you like to order miss?” The shop asked
I flinch when he mistook my gender
“I’ll have three apple flavour and one of everything in the menu” I order
The shop owner just stares at me blankly. Probably wondering if I’m going to eat it by myself or share it with my friend
“… That will be 67 Lien” he said
I pay the exact amount
“If you’re wondering if I can hold all of them then don’t I have a storage semblance” I said
The shop owner nod his head “ That’s some useful semblance you got” and went to make my order
Instead of cone he uses a round ice cream box
Smart move but he should’ve asked me if I want my ice cream in a cone or a box
‘Are you sure it’s a good idea to eat every type of flavour in the menu’ Mai
‘I have to agree with Mai here, some of the flavour seem … unique…. Sardine flavour, curry flavour, ok I can accept cabbage flavour but mushroom? Nemo are you sure you want to try all of it?’ Hassan
‘Well. You only live once so better try anything and everything life has to offer’ Me
‘The last time you said that you choke just by licking the sap in Forever Fall and regret it’ Kiyohime said with a wry smile
‘Don’t worry they’re just ice cream! What’s the worst can happen?’ Me
‘Famous last word’ Mai
‘Agree’ Hassan
‘Arthur!’ Lancelot
‘Mommy is crazy’ Jack
Et tu Jack!? It pains me to hear your betrayal against me
“Nemo?”
While talking with the servant I notice that someone was calling my name. I turn toward the direction where the voice came from and was met with a girl who has sky blue hair and deep blue eyes
… I feel like I’ve met her before, but who?
I stare at her for a couple of second trying to remember where I’ve met her but there’s no use, I still can’t remember
“I’m sorry but who are you?” I ask with an emotionless face
The girl eye brow twitch in annoyance
“It’s me Sapphire Teardrop! We met in our first day of our class!” she yell
Ah… now I remember
“I’m surprise that you remember someone like me” I said… and take out my dagger/rapier under my cloak
‘Why do you always take out a weapon every time when you’re talking to someone you are unfamiliar with?’ Atalanta ask
‘Safety precaution’ I simply reply
“well, it’s hard to forget someone who left with that kind of impression and by that I meant you turning into a Faunus like it was nothing” she said with a huff
“uhuh” I nod my head and look around “So did yu come to the festivel alone or with your team?” I ask
“I came here with my team, right now they’re exploring around” she said
I just nodded and notice the shop owner finish scoping the last ice cream and neatly arrange it in front of me
“I see… hey wanna see a magic trick?” I ask
She blink and just nodded her head in curiosity
“Ok I need you to close your eye and count to ten and then you open your eye” I instruct her
She did as she was told
Good
I store all the ice cream in front of me and silently thank the owner. After that I walk away as fast as I could
After a few second I heard a load shriek
“NEEEMOOOOO!!!”
I smirk
The shriek was filled with frustration and hate
Hater gonna hate
I lick my ice cream using a wooden spoon that was given along with the ice cream box
Victory taste like lemon
0-0-0
The sun is already starting to set. By that time I have already finish all of my ice cream
‘I still can’t believe you ate all of them’ Mai said while shaking her head
‘Well what can you say? Wasting food is a sin’ I said
‘True to that’ Atalanta agrees with me
*Beep*
I suddenly got a message from Ozpin
-Get to my office-
From: Ozpin
I close my Scroll and went toward my destination
Haa~ I wonder what he wants now
0-0-0
The elevator stops and opens its door. I enter the headmaster office and look around
It still amazes me that his office is based on gear. He maybe a cryptic-coffee addict-old bastard but I have to admit he sure does have style when it comes to his office
Now if only he get rid of that chair… better yet give it to me
I spotted Ozpin, Glynda, Ironwood and…
I narrow my eye and greet the new person
“Bird” me
“Trap” he replied back
“Useless drunk”
“Crossdressing pervert”
“Unsuccessful playboy”
“Misunderstood lesbian”
“Niececon”
“Lolicon”
“….”
“…”
“I’m dating your niece” I said with a grin
He drop his flask and glare at me
“No… nonono you did not just say that”
“We sleep together in my bed (along with Blake but I’m not going to say it)” I said and my grin grow larger
FYI we are only sleeping nothing more so get your head out of the gutter all of you pervert
“Ok that’s it you dead you little transsexual princess” he said and draw his sword
“Bring it you filthy Crow!” I yell back and brought out a halberd/flamethrower
“ENOUGH!” Glynda yells
We both drop our weapon and hold our hand a surrendering gesture
Scary
“Sorry, just ignore me and continue your previous conversation” I said
They just stare at me and sigh. Qrow in the other hand give me the ‘I’m watching you’ sign
“Ahem, as I was saying, when the people look at the sky and see my fleet they feel safe and our enemy will feel our strength” General said with conviction
Huh, I’m just glad that I was able to capture Lancelot before he got his hands on one of those ships. Just imagine how much chaos Lancelot can make with just one of them
“He.. hehe… hehehehehe” Qrow start with a chuckle and then laugh
…. Isn’t that the three step laughter?
“you… you think they’re scared of your little ships?” Qrow… let’s call him bird for now I don’t know why I still respect him and call his name
‘Probably because he beat you like a rag doll’ Hassan
Ah now I remember… I still hate him
Now where was I? oh right. Qrow ask mockingly
“..I’ve been out there and I’ve seen the thing she’s made of and let me tell you… they are fear” Qrow finish grimly
…
Well… good luck to you guys then, my only concern is the tainted servant, nothing more nothing less. I just hope I wasn’t called here to join whatever you guys are fighting… oh Alaya please hear my prayer
‘That’s pretty selfish of you’ Mai said in disapproving tone
‘Well, what good does it do if I fight… whatever they’re fighting? I’m going to disappear once I collect the last servant for Root sakes!’ I yell
‘… Good point but what about Ruby and Blake? The threat that… whatever Ozpin is talking about is going to face Ruby and her friend sooner or later’ Hassan reason
…
…
…
Tch fine if I ever meet them I’ll freeze them and shatter their statue
“I suggest we find our guardian and I think I know the right person to us find them … isn’t that right Nemo Yukihime?” Ozpin said snapping me out of my discussion with the servant
The other three occupants in the room stare at me sceptically
Wait what!?
“Wait what!?” Qrow echoed my thought “You mean this Brat (Oi!) can help us find the guardian?”
“Ozpin just what are you saying?” Glynda asked
“Yes Ozpin I would like to know myself, just what are you saying? I thought that you told me he was only a solution to fight the anomaly called ‘tainted servant’?” Ironwood said and cross his arm
Oioioioi! Why are you people talking about me like I’m not here!? Is pisses me off dammit!
Ah never mind from the looks of it this conversation will only lead to more work for me, better find an escape route
…
All of the window is sealed tight… Root dammit! And the elevator door won’t open. At times like this I wish I have the ability to phase through object
I raise my hand and ask “I have a question, just what kind of guardian we’re talking about? Please don’t tell me it’s the one in those story books about the Seven Guardian” I plead
Ozpin brown orb lock onto mine, a smile crept its way toward his face
I do not like that smile one bit
“Of course not” I gave out a sigh of relief when Ozpin said that. For a moment I thought he is asking me to search for the seven servant, I do not want to deal with that saber. I’ve already read the data about her and I don’t want to go near her thank you very much
“But I am asking you to find a group of individual that has a lot of potential, surely someone like you who host multiple ‘Heroic Spirit’ can do the job?” he said and grin
So let me get this straight, he’s asking me to search for people who have a potential. And based on how he emphasize on Heroic Spirit I’m guess people who has the approval from Heroic Spirit.
…
‘Translation: Recuiting individual that can turn the tide in a battle’ Mai
Atalanta look at Mai with a raise eyebrow ‘How do you know?’ she ask
Mai only shrug ‘Basic military stuff’
“So, how about it?” Ozpin ask
…
Well if anyone knows me I only have one word to say to that kind of job
“No” I said and smile radiantly before I [Equip] Lancelot and control the elevator and run away
there is no way i'm going to do a job that you're too lazy to do yourself
