Rising over the horizon, the sun greeted the city of Vale with its warm rays of sunlight, waking some of the city’s residence. As the sun began its rounds, another Vale citizen was already awake before the sun began showing its bright from. This citizen was an older woman approximately 35 years of age, with no grey hairs beginning to show their ugly heads in her long, red hair. She completed her morning routine, brushing her teeth, showering, getting dressed, and watering her plants before she grabbed her keys and purse as she headed out the door of her home. As she walked outside, she was greeted by the warm rays of the sun shining onto her face. “Another warm summer day in Vale, I wish this weather was permanent.” She thought to herself as she unlocked her car and hopped into the driver's seat. She then pushed the start button, revving the engine ready for action, and she reversed out of her driveway and into the street. She drove along the streets as she did every morning greeting her various early bird neighbors as she made her way to work. The woman noted the quickness of the drive and checked the time as she pulled into the parking lot of her building.

The building that she parked in the parking lot of was a very classic, modern design that was seen all over the various shops in the commercial district in Vale. The building’s front had large panned, clear glass windows that showed clear displays of the various items inside of the shop. It was a two-story building with the second story being used mainly for extra storage of the various products, but also as a main office where this woman usually did most of her work.

As she got out of her vehicle, another person rounded the corner on a bicycle. They peddled their bike into one of the racks and locked the bike in place. The older woman greeted the biker with a smile, “Good morning, Rouge. How are you feeling on this fine morning?”

The biker girl, identified as Rouge, waved back at the older lady and responded with a smile, “Good morning, Boss Woman! I'm doing great this morning! How about you?”

The Boss lady shook her head slightly, “I’m doing fine, but I thought I told you to stop calling me that. Miss Scarlet or just Scarlet is fine.”

“Understood Boss Scarlet!” Rouge replied to her Bosses request with excitement. Scarlet on the other hand exhaled in slight exasperation as she chose to simply give up on the topic. The two-woman walked to the back entrance of the building and Scarlet unlocked the door, allowing them both to enter the store. As they entered the building, Scarlet and Rogue immediately got to work doing all the things necessary to open the store. The Boss Woman walked up to the second floor of her building and entered her office. As the woman walked inside, she hung her purse and coat on the rack that was by the side of her large oak desk. She moved behind said desk and sat down on her red chair, simultaneously turning on her computer, prepared to get back to work.

As she quickly typed in the password to her PC, she opened her various documents that she needed to fill out, emails she needed to reply to, and product orders she had to complete. It was a ton of work trying to run this business and it brought a lot of stress to her, but at the same time it has been the most fulfilling thing that Scarlet has ever done in her life. She treats her shop like her child, and she is extremely proud of what she has been able to accomplish since its first opening a decade and a half ago. Her store was called, ‘From Diamonds to Dust’ and it was becoming one of the more popular Dust shops in the commercial district. She sold various Dust products, including jewelry, raw crystals, powdered refillable canisters, the whole nine yards. Her popularity has been skyrocketing and the store has been booming in sales as well. Everything has been looking great for the future of DTD, the only issue that has arisen in recent years is the appearance of some gangs that have been trying to assert themselves on the Dust industry for weaponized power. However, none of these gangs have been able to do anything big, they keep each other in check and any robberies have been taken care of by the police and Huntsman when necessary.

Scarlet was finishing her thoughts on the progress of DTD’s development when her positivism was broken by a panicking Rogue bursting through her office doors. “Miss Scarlet!” She yelled, breathing heavily as she walked quickly up to her desk.

Scarlet was surprised by her entry, and even more surprised by the way Rouge addressed her, so she held back nothing as she gave the girl her undivided attention. “What's wrong? Did something happen?” She spoke, calmly but alarmed.

At her bosses' tone, Rouge was able to calm herself down enough to give a thorough explanation as to why she was so panicked. “Well, I was counting inventory and setting up some of the Diamond displays like usual when I found this.” As she spoke, she placed a pitch-black calling card onto Scarlet's desk. “I read through it and there is some nerve wrecking words on it. At first, I thought it might be a prank or something, but I don’t know so I ran up here to tell you.” Scarlet reached to pick the card up when Rouge suddenly yelled in warning, “Be careful! The sides of the card are insanely sharp, I already cut myself twice trying to pick it up.”

“I understand Rouge, calm down. I don’t plan on hurting myself anytime soon.” Scarlet carefully slid the card up off the desk using a pen. She then grabbed the sturdy card from the center and brought it to her face for reading. “‘I AM COMING! No harm will come to you if you do as I say. One, prepare an enormous amount of Dust, Vials, Crystals all of it. Two, count that inventory and prepare a retail cost for all MY Dust. Third, DO NOT contact any law enforcement agency, or you will be Punished Accordingly. You have one Week, abiding by my Rules will bring you fortune beyond belief, but Death comes to those that Refuse. Choose Wisely. The Grimm Reaper.” As the Boss read the letter out loud, the rooms environment turned sour, and the two-woman let the threat sit in the air for a moment before speaking again.

Scarlet’s mind moved with enormous speed, prepping and preparing a plan to counteract the threat, but the solution she came up with was not very satisfying. “This is a threat that we must take seriously. I am extremely glad that you told me about this, because we could be in huge trouble if we didn’t.”

Rouge looked at her boss with her nervousness growing more as the conversation continued. “Then what are we going to do?” She asked Scarlet.

“We are going to continue business this week as usual, selling as many expensive products as possible. I am also going to cancel the Dust orders for this next week to minimize the damage this does to our total inventory and profits. I highly doubt that we are the only store that received a card like this, however this information does not leave this room. And we will be doing as they demanded on next Saturday, am I understood?” Scarlet looked directly into her employee’s eyes as she spoke, leaving no room for refusal.

Rouge instantly understood the importance of this matter and she nodded her head in affirmation while saying, “Yes ma’am I understand. This conversation won’t leave this room.” She responded with absolute seriousness.

Scarlets serious expression broke for a moment, and in its place a small smile formed. “Thank you so much Rouge, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have you on my team.”

“Of course! I am your right-hand woman after all!” Rouge replied energetically, breaking the tension in the air.

The Boss let a small chuckle escape her lips, as she watched the girl’s antics. “Alright let’s get back to work, this is going to be an incredibly busy week.”

The girl looked at her boss with a bit of confusion, “what do you mean busy? Wouldn’t business slow down with all these calling cards spreading around?”

“That is what may happen if every shop that got a card from the Grimm Reaper planned the same way we did, however I am predicting that, out of fear, most of the store owners will close their shops until further notice. They’ll mostly try to hide most of the Dust product that they own and what they can’t hide they’ll give up to whoever wrote this crap. Damn.” Scarlet clenched her fist in frustration. “Why is this happening now!” After the sudden outburst she exhaled a loud breath and began rubbing her temple to calm her running headache. “I just hope that this reaper guy isn’t too ruthless, if they are we’ll have to find a way to get some help. As the week goes on, I’ll handle the important affairs so I’m going to need you to step up Manager Rouge, can you handle that for me?”

The manager looked at the Red-haired Boss woman in awe at her intellect, “I’ll do my best Boss!” Was all she managed to respond with.

“I know you will. Now let’s get back to work!”

“Yes Ma’am!” After that was said, Rouge made her way back down to the main store and finished her morning activities that were required for the store to open. As she did that, Scarlet focused on her job, sending out numerous emails and making a ton of calls to prep DTD for the newest threat to the store’s survival. Even as the complications and stress increased from the sudden threat, for some reason she couldn’t help but be excited at what was to come in the following week.

“The Grimm Reaper, what an interesting figure.” With that last thought, Scarlet allowed herself to get lost in her work.

All around the city of Vale, situations like this were happening to every Dust shop owner. Employees, managers, and Owners alike cutting their hands and shitting their pants over the extreme threat that they had received in the form of a tough calling card. None of them ignored the threat, however most of them dealt with the encounter differently. Some simply chose to continue business as usual having no plans for the future simply praying that everything would be alright, some closed up shop and began collecting inventory that same day in hopes to appease the Grimm Reaper with their gifts in hopes that they’ll leave them alone, and some closed shop entirely, putting their earnings on hiatus for the week hoping the whole situation would blow over. However, it didn’t matter how they dealt with the threat because there was one thing they knew for certain, The Grimm Reaper was coming.

……….

(Y/N) sat in the clutches of two extraordinarily beautiful Faunus woman as they slept peacefully against his warmth. He took this excess time to do complete some tasks that he had yet to do, but he started his long cuddle session with taking in the details of the room. Starting with where he laid, Neyah was draped over his left shoulder with her head curling over top of his own. Her arms held tightly to his head and neck pulling him deeply into her bandaged breasts as they slept. Her left leg was placed over top his torso and crotch area, and every so often the Faunus would adjust her position slightly, thrusting her hips into his side. On the other side of his body, Nix cuddled her head warmly into the crook of his neck allowing her warm gently breaths of air to tickle his sensitive skin. She had her right arm over top of his chest tightly pulling him in an embrace, while her left arm was coddling his right holding strongly to the arm so he couldn’t escape. Her legs were curled around his right leg, placing his thigh directly on her crotch. Every once in a while, Nix would mumble something in coherent and grind her heat against his thigh while nibbling slightly on the soft skin of his neck. Byakko rested comfortably curled up onto his chest in the small area between Nix’s arm and Neyah’s thigh.

The temporary room that they were staying in was basic. It had a general vide similar to that of a hotel room, in that there were two large beds that took up most of the space in the room, a larger TV as the wall’s centerpiece, a couple desks in front of each bed, and one big bathroom that had dual sinks and a average sized shower. There was a microwave in the room, but no other kitchen appliances meaning that somewhere in the building there was more than likely a food hall or cafeteria. The walls of the room were a odd, in that they were a warm greyish color which matched the silver carpeting on the floors. The ceiling was white, which complimented the white bed sheets and greyish bed frame very well. Although the room gave off the ‘hotel’ vibe, it was clearly set up to be much more than that. It was modernized in a way that accentuated its advance-ness and made the guest feel like they were in a high-class location even if it wasn’t high-class living space.

(Y/N) then began using his excess time to do things he found far more productive than analyzing his surroundings. He started with converting all of his resources into stronger versions of themselves, for example turning Grimm claws, fangs, talons, and beaks into Grimm Material that he could use later. He proceeded to do this with all of his items including turning his various Dust forms into Crystals and Large Crystals thereafter. He continued with this process for a while, ending with the masks and cores he had acquired. Doing this he ended up with 1 Alpha Beowolf Core, 8 Large Beowolf cores, 7 normal Beowolf cores, 7 normal Nevermore cores, and some masks as change.

Going through the Beast Tamer menu he found that he was able to feed Byakko the materials through the System rather than feeding her outright, but he decided against it after remembering how much she enjoyed eating them the first time. While he was chilling in the Beast Tamer menu, he figured that he may as well summon another Beast. The reason he decided to summon another one so soon is simply because he needed something else to work towards, another progression goal to achieve in a timely manner. Leveling up is something that he is going to do regardless so it didn’t feel like he was being very productive, and skill grinding had no true milestone in mind so there was no true end goal but trying to hatch a Beast egg was different. This was made even more clear now that he knew exactly what he was working towards and how he could get the egg to hatch. And he figured that since he got Byakko to hatch with pure luck, he wanted to use his skill and efficiency to hatch another one. His last reason was by far the most important, and that reason was the lack of use of Augmented Gold. After scouring the shop and asking squeezing Meta for all the information he could, he found absolutely ZERO purpose for the Gold that he acquired.

The shops most expensive items topped at around 100 AUG which sounds nice, but the issue is that all the items, including consumables, have a level lock on them. And the worst part is that the Level is so damn high that (Y/N) can only, see ??? instead of the actual level number. The most expensive item he found that had a level that he could read was an Ethereal Tear Drop consumable that cost 1 AUG, but the Level requirement was 1,000 so he knew he wasn’t going to be eligible to use it any time soon. However, he found a way around this shitty System, and it was simple, just build your own shit. When making your own equipment, there is no Level Req. attached to the item by default, so if you have the materials strong enough to make it, you can create shit as strong as you wish. This loophole is why he had yet to buy Byakko any equipment, but that is a plan to be elaborated on another time.

So, he scrolled back down to the bottom of the LCC (Life Creation Center) and used another 10,000 AUG on the super duper, ultra-infinity rare plus star, banner thingy and summoned himself another Legendary Beast Egg. The animation that played this time was a bit different than the other one, this time the two Beasts that were ruthlessly attacking one another were both dragons, each of different origins. The first dragon looked more like a classic medieval dragon with the other being of Chinese origins with short stubby arms and a long snake like body. The two dragons fought in a seemingly endless sky shooting catastrophic blasts at each other, but neither attack did much damage to the other. All that changed as the two charged, what seemed to be, a massive all-out final attack in an effort to destroy each other. They fired the massive beams against one another, and their attacks clashed strongly against one another, forming a fierce beam struggle between the two dragons. They looked equally matched, as neither ones beams was able to overcome the other until something incredible happened. Amidst their beams, a small extremely light pink light began to shin through. This light grew and grew until the pinkish white light fully encompassed the endless sky. The center of the light began spinning violently, absorbing everything around it, sucking the two dragons into the black hole of pink and white leaving nothing left except for an incredibly light pinkish white egg floating in the center of the abyss.

Congratulations you’ve acquired a Pinkish Beast Egg!

He examined the egg for a moment, before placing it in the incubator. “Now to do trial and error until I find a way to hatch you.” He thought as he was placing the mysterious white egg in the incubator. (Y/N) was about to begin some of his trial-and-error tests before Meta suddenly got his attention and brought a solution to his problem.

[Meta believes Meta knows how to hatch the egg!]

“Oh, word partner? Lay that solution on me then, it would be a great help!”

[Yessir! Meta thinks that you must absorb a certain number of enemies in order to hatch the egg!]

“Absorb? How exactly would I go about absorbing Grimm?”

[You would use any skills that absorbs the essence of your opponents! For example, you could use your Ability Devils Domain, or the skills Ruthless or Merciless!]

(Y/N)’ss eyes lit up in recognition as he suddenly remembered the Ability that Meta was talking about. “Holy shit, I completely forgot about Devils Domain! Wait, isn’t it an ability so shouldn’t it activate automatically?”

[Normally it would, however Meta took the liberty of turning it into a more active Skill that you can turn on and off at will! Meta did this so you wouldn’t accidentally kill random people you came across when walking around!]

“Meta, you are the best ever, and I don’t deserve your kindness. However, I have one more question for you, how did you figure out the hatching method for this egg?”

[Meta believes that the hint to hatching the Legendary eggs is in the Legend that is shown as you acquire the egg! After not being able to help the first time, Meta thought really hard about the purpose of the Legend animations that are shown as you acquire the eggs and Meta figured that they must have importance! This Pale Pink egg absorbed everything around it in its Legend, so Meta believes that you must Absorb your Enemies! Byakko harshly defeated the Beasts in her Legend, so she required you to defeat a lot of enemies!]

“I love you so much Meta! You cared about helping me that much that you troubled yourself with analyzing the Gacha videos, you are the true G.O.A.T. I don’t deserve your kindness, honestly, I wish I could give you an omega warm hug right now, but I guess you’ll have to settle for this mental hug and my words.”

[Meta Loves You Too! 😉]

After repeatedly thanking and giving mental hugs and kisses to Meta for a while, (Y/N) moved onto his next task that he found was going to be considerably more difficult to accomplish than everything else he had done up until this point. His goal was to use the rest of this time of rest to create some magic skills using True Mana Manipulation, but there were a few issues with this goal. The first major issue with this goal is that he didn’t have access to his hands which would definitely make the process a lot harder, the second major issue was the fact that he didn’t want to wake up the two girls next to him. The first issue could be easily dealt with as he would just have to concentrate a bit harder to manipulate the mana the way he wanted to, but he could consider it extra training. The second issue was a bit more complicated for the simple reason of (Y/N) not knowing whether, one the manipulated mana makes a ton of noise, and two he must activate the mana before he can gain it as a skill.

Despite the many risks involved, he decided to say fuck it and deal with the consequences of his actions later. And with that he began creating numerous skills using the mana in his own body as the source. He was extremely careful at first, slowly doing each step in the process as carefully as possible to make as little noise as possible and as soon as the spiraling ball of mana was formed and he got the skill Mana Ball, he instantly canceled the attack dissipating the mana across the room silently. After doing this a bunch more, he got really good at it and eventually he got the notification that he acquired two more titles.

*New* Titles Obtained: Master Silent Caster, Master Spell Canceler,

The Master Silent Caster skill allowed him to cast all of his skills in complete silence with no additional cost to the casting time or MP requirement. And Master Spell Canceler allowed him to instantly cancel any spell he had begun casting, also the mana that he put into the spell would return to him, not instantly but extremely quickly. And with these two new titles, he was able to freely create magical skills in the small room with no interruptions. And after repeatedly using the same skills over and over again, just repeatedly canceling them, he was able to level them up. Honestly, he felt like he was cheating, but he didn’t really care that much.

*New* Skills Acquired: *Mana Bullet Storm* {Lvl: 3}- A Storm of Mana Bullets that barrages any target chosen by the attack; Cost 150mp

*Rifled Mana Arrow* {Lvl: 3}- A rapidly spinning powerful mana arrow that will instantly pierce through any target; Cost 150mp

*Mana Gash* {Lvl: 3}- A sword like strike formed with mana that can slice open any thing it encounters; Chance to Bleed; Cost 150mp

*Mana Hail* {Lvl: 3}- Massive groups of Mana Spirals form in the air surrounding your opponent and at your command they swoop in crushing them under the immense strength of the attack; Cost 250mp

*Kill Shot* {Lvl: 3}- By compressing a large amount of mana and rifling it to the max, you shoot an incredibly strong, highly pressurized beam of mana that pierces through anything it touches; When attacking a weak point Guaranteed Critical Strike; Cost 250mp

*Crush* {Lvl: 3}- By compressing large amounts of mana you are able to create an extremely heavy weight that you can place on your opponent, crushing them under its pressure; Cost 500mp

*Mana Drill* {Lvl: 3)- A strong spike of rifled mana shoots from the ground stabbing deeply into anything that is unlucky enough to be above it; Low Chance to Bleed; Low Chance to Pin; Cost 100mp

*Bind* {Lvl: 3}- Strong chains made from mana erupt from the ground wrapping themselves tightly around an opponent, leaving them helpless to retaliate; Causes Pin; Cost 100mp

*Barrier* {Lvl: 3}- Create a thick, strong layer of protective mana that can defend against almost anything; Cost 100mp

*Hakai* {Lvl: MAX}- ??????; Cost 5000mp

While (Y/N) didn’t get as much done as he would’ve liked to, he was still satisfied with the excess times results, and he got to enjoy the amazing cuddles of both Nix and Neyah for 8 hours straight with no interruptions, except for when he almost destroyed half the campus by compressing all his mana into one spot, 5 times in a row. He just took a wild guess and assumed that the description to the attack would appear until he finally set it off, so he decided to be patient and wait for an opportunity to show it off. As he was about to try creating another skill, the girls that were holding tightly onto his body started rustling wildly.

Neyah began groaning, mumbling incoherently as she slowly rose from her slumber. On the other hand, Nix was mumbling and nibbling on (Y/N)’s neck as she slowly became conscious after the night of rest. The girls both slowly opened their eyes and they naturally moved to meet (Y/N)’s own. They were still half asleep, not fully comprehending their surroundings or situation, so (Y/N) was the first to greet them. “Good morning my beautiful lovers. How was your sleep?”

At the comment, Nix and Neyah woke up completely, with Nix being the first to respond, “I had a phenomenal rest, Babe. It is amazing how restful sleep is when I am cuddled up against you.”

Neyah followed up with, “Yeah, she’s not wrong. Sleeping with you in my clutches is like sleeping for a month straight, but not waking up groggy at all. It’s the most refreshing thing ever.”

(Y/N) gave the comment a thought, thinking it interesting that he had this effect on people. This was even more interesting considering the fact that he couldn’t naturally fall asleep even if he wanted to. “I’m glad that I can provide you both with such great rest, but it is time to get up. It is already the afternoon, and I am sure that you both have things that gotta get done.”

After he spoke, the group rose from the comfort of the warm bed and started their daily morning routines. Showering, brushing teeth, grooming hair, and for (Y/N), straightening up the room. After they completed the morning routine, the group headed down to the ground floor of the building where they were introduced to the campus’s lunch menu. All they had to do was flash their pass and choose a meal, and we were set down at a rounded booth table eating within minutes.

Byakko refused the food that was placed in front of her, so instead (Y/N) pulled the various Grimm related items from the inside of his jacket and placed them overtop the food that she was given. Byakko’s face lit up in excitement, as she began devouring the Crystals, leaving nothing left. As she finished, she moved from her spot on the comfortable bench to her favorite spot, her masters lap.

Grimm Assimilation Rate (99.55%)

“We’re so fucking CLOSE! One more night of exploration and it’ll be complete.”

As the girls ate, he decided to ask them some questions about what they were going to do before the semester officially started, since he was curious about what exactly happens around this time of year. “So, I know I said that you guys had stuff to do, but what exactly do you have to do? Is there a schedule you have to adhere to, or can you just wonder the campus doing whatever you want?”

Nix swallowed a portion of her meal, wiped the oil off her lips with a napkin, and responded to her loves question. “Most students who come to the school early use this time to train using the various facilities that the school provides. They do this in hopes of being placed in a higher ranked class for their first year at Beacon.”

(Y/N) looked questioningly at Nix, “what do you mean by class ranks?”

Neyah was the one to respond as she scarfed down a massive amount of meat and potatoes, “all huntsmen are not created equal.” She began, “at Beacon, and I think the other huntsman schools, there is a rank system that separates the stronger students from the weaker ones. In order from highest to lowest the class ranks are, ‘S’, ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’. The ranks are initially mostly determined by this dumbass system that places you based on your school transcript. It’s basically like your official resume of your skill as a huntsman. The fucking problem with the system is that if you don’t have a resume or school transcript then you automatically get placed in D-Rank.”

Neyah’s anger grew the more she discussed the topic, so Nix chose to step in and explain the rest. “Yes, this is how the initial ranking system works, and for students that attend schools on the main continent it is a fair and accurate way of ranking them. However, for people that live in Menagerie, compulsory schooling is not required. In our culture, most families teach their own children about the essential information that they need to be successful in life. In other words, 90% of the Faunus that live in Menagerie are home schooled. It helps us since people tend to know what career they want to pursue at a young age, but if you want a career as a huntsman, it is incredibly hard to get accepted. And even if you do you will more than likely be placed in an extremely low Rank, like ‘D’ or ‘E.’”

“I thought that ‘D’ was the lowest Rank?”

Neyah picked up the question, “it’s the lowest official rank. ‘E’ is basically a prove it rank where you have to complete various courses and eventually fight your peers in hopes of being accepted into the school. Which sound aight on paper, but almost all the ‘E’ rankers are Faunus, so they just end up competing against each other. That’s why there are no fucking Faunus at any of the schools!”

Nix corrected her sister saying, “its not there are no Faunus at any of the other schools, there are just very little. However, the ones that manage to conquer the challenges that come with applying and getting accepted to an Academy, end up very high ranked. Therefore, we chose to apply to Beacon, because they have a few systems in place to allow students to Rank up based on their own merit. The most important of which is the reason that most students choose to train during their free time before the semester begins.”

“Novice Huntsman Summer League!” Neyah yelled out the name loud enough for everyone in the cafeteria room to hear them. Turning everyone’s attention to them for a moment, before they all went back to eating and talking amongst themselves. “The NHSL is a massive tournament for all incoming freshman that allows them to show off their skills. If you place high in the tourney, then you get ranked up!”

Nix chuckled a bit at her sister’s comment, “while that is true, it is a bit more complicated than that. Hundreds of examiners are present during the League and even if you lose, if you show great skill or potential, you may be Ranked Up off that as well.”

(Y/N) took in all this information and processed it quickly in his brain, coming up with a bunch of different ideas based on this idea. “I’m guessing that the two of you will be participating in this tournament, right?” At his question, they both nodded their heads. “Right, so what rank are you guys right now?”

“’B’/’B’” They both responded sounded peeved at the topic.

He decided to tread lightly on this topic of discussion seeing their response to his innocent question. “When does the Summer League start anyway?”

Neyah responded first in an unsure tone, “I think it started already.”

Nix deadpanned a bit at her sister’s response, “technically it did begin already, but not in the way you might believe. Because of the thousands of students that participate in the freshman league, they are separated into 64 different pools, with the winner of each of those pool tournaments competing in the larger Novice Summer Tournament that takes place towards the end of the Sumer. This event is one of the biggest not only in Vale, but also all of Remnant, second only to the Vytal Tournament.”

Neyah picked up where she left off, “fuck yeah! And we are going to stomp these weak ass freshmen into the dirt as we conquer this tournament!”

(Y/N) and Nix, both chuckled at her enthusiasm, with Nix explaining further. “That is exactly what we’ll do. But first we must win our Pools, and I am in pool 26 with Neyah in pool 55. My Pool begins tomorrow at noon, and I’ll have to beat 6 opponents to win my pool. Day 1 will have battles up to top 8, with the rest of the pool taking place the day after.”

“Interesting.” Was all (Y/N) could comment as the gears in his mind began moving rapidly. He thought of hundreds of different things he could do to help them be ready for the upcoming Summer League. “It sounds like you both need some training.” A earie grin made its way across his face as he spoke.

The grin made Nix slightly nervous, but Neyah met his grin with a wild smile. As his grin widened, Neyah said, “finally! Darling, I’ve been wanting to test your strength since the day I met you. I cannot wait to battle you.” She said this while seductively licking her lips, clearly incredibly excited by the idea of a fight with (Y/N).

He met her crazed smile with his own, “then what are we still doing here. Let’s get active!”
