The group slid from behind the booth, thanking their waitress, and exited the restaurant like cafeteria. They then exited the building and followed Nix as she led them to one of the massive buildings closest to the east side of the campus. The structure was a large arena shaped building with a domed top. There were multiple-colored flags that draped across the sides of the building decorating its exterior. Traffic around the building was heavy, as there were several different groups people entering and exiting the massive arena.

As they entered the structure, Nix began explaining the importance of this building, “this place is known as Beacon Battle Arena, but most people just call it the Training Room. It’s mostly used for the practical training of students, as there are many large-scale battle rooms that teachers can use to control the environment of the room and pit their students up against one another or even some captured Grimm. However, we are using this place for its other purpose. There are also, hundreds of private rooms that can be used for the students’ own purposes.” Nix exhaled a long breath as she spoke the last part of her explanation. “We will be using the room, to fight one another in hopes of improving our own strengths.” As she spoke, (Y/N) could easily read that Nix was not looking forward to the training, but he couldn’t immediately figure out why, so he chose to revisit the topic later.

The group walked up to one of the open machines and Nix registered three people for a Private Battle Room. As she input the amount of people and the time they would be spending in the room, she inserted her temp card into slot on the bottom of the machine. The screen loaded for a moment, showing the Beacon logo spinning, before it showed that a few of the rooms were available. From there she selected the closest one, and the directions to get to the room was automatically transferred onto her scroll.

The group walked and talked all the way to the private room, while (Y/N) continued admiring his surroundings. As they approached the room it had the number 432 plastered on the front of the door, like a hotel room. The exterior of the room was entirely black with a long horizontal window spanning across it showing the interior. In the hallway, hundreds of these identical rooms were placed right next to each other. The clear window’s length ended as soon as the next rooms door began, and that door was connected to that rooms window. It was a slightly trippy sight to see all these identical rooms with people battling and training inside of them, but no sounds were heard.

Nix swiped her temp card onto the door, and it slowly rose from the ground, barring them entrance into the battle place. The room was extremely well lit, with an entirely white flooring and grey tiled walls, making the room look like the training room of almost any fighting game ever. On the inside, the window had a holographic timer that showed the exact amount of time that the group had left in the private room. It showed, ‘1;59;56’, identifying that they had about two hours left in the room. As (Y/N) and Nix started to look around the room, Neyah was beginning to get impatient, saying “We clearly don’t have a ton of time, so let’s get shit poppin!”

She sounded a bit brash, but (Y/N) agreed with her sentiment. In two hours, he would be able to improve his strength greatly by leveling up in dungeons and such, but for them improvement probably came much slower, so they had to use this time wisely. “Yeah, Neyah your right, lets get started. This is how we’re gonna do it though, we’ll start with one on ones, you guys versus me, to let me get a grasp on your abilities and find out what you both need to work on. And since your so antsy, Neyah, you’ll be first.”

“It’s about fuckin time! Just letting you know; I won’t be holding back just because I love you!”

A small chuckle escaped his lips as he heard her statement, “I sure hope not.”

*Warrior’s Manifestation (Semblance)*- By concentrating deeply, Neyah can manifest her Aura into any weapon she wishes. Due to her mastery of this ability, she can create these weapons on a dime, and can even send them to do attacks without her touching the Aura weapons for a short period of time.

Looking closely at her status, (Y/N) decided to make a change in this training session, not only to make the battle more pitched, but also help himself improve as well. “Meta, can you disable the Attribute boost my equipment is adding to me?”

[Yessir!]

“And if you can, make sure no skills I use do too much damage, I don’t want to accidentally hurt her.”

[Meta will ensure Neyah’s Safety!]

“Thanks, lil homie!”

As soon as the effect took place, he could feel himself get weaker, but he still felt confident enough in his skill to outmatch Neyah in hand-to-hand combat. However, that wasn’t the only handicap that he placed on himself for this battle. The other one was no magic. Not only would it be hard to explain away if he started shooting (F/C) mana everywhere, but it would also ruin the integrity of the battle. As he would probably be able to beat them a little to easy if he could shoot mana bullets and arrows as he attacked simultaneously.

As he finished his final thoughts, Neyah crouched down while drawing her long spear from her back. She activated her strong Aura, and it surrounded her form in a shield like veil. “You better hurry the fuck up and use that Aura, I don’t wanna accidentally kill my mate before we create cubs.”

(Y/N)’s eyes widened slightly at her statement, “Cubs?!!?!? Wait that’s not the important bit. I do remember people in Rwby using their Aura as protection, so they don’t take damage directly. But my Aura fuckin sucks! But imma have to use it if we’re gonna fight, it’s the traditional way to determine when someone is unable to battle.” As he completed his thought, he felt around his body for his Aura, and pushed it out from his pores forming a (F/C) barrier around his body.

Congratulations! You have unlocked Shield!

‘Shiva’s Love’ Shield Activated!

Suddenly, a golden barrier erupted from his body, placing itself over his Aura. The golden shield acted exactly like his Aura and covered his body head to toe in its cloak of protection. Because of the Aura like protection, he was able to return his own (F/C) Aura back into his own body so he could focus entirely on its offensive uses.

“That’s pretty cool Darling, I’ve never seen anyone with two Aura colors before!” Neyah said as she felt her mates powerful Aura. “But it’s not going to change the outcome of this fight at all.” Neyah’s eyes were now fixed onto her mates refusing to break eye contact. Her breath steadied and her entire form focused on the man in front of her, no longer seeing him as a lover, but as an enemy.

Nix wore a nervous expression as she watched her sister’s battle lust took over, shifting her from a loving sibling to a battle-hardened warrior. It was a trait that she both admired and feared about Neyah, but right now she was nervous for the safety of the two people she cared about most. However, she shook the negative thoughts from her head and stepped far aside to give the two space to spar. Byakko ran to her and laid herself down by Nix’s feet, watching her master prep for battle. Nix cleared her throat to grab the mental attention of the waiting battlers, “Neyah, are you ready?”

“Hell Yeah!” She responded eustatically.

“(Y/N) are you ready?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“The fight will be considered finished once the Aura of one of you has reached red, anything else is completely allowed. You two will begin battling as I say go, do I make myself clear?” The two participants nodded their heads in affirmation. “Right. Please don’t hurt each other too badly. Let the battle commence! Go!” As soon as the words left her lips, Neyah was on her feet lunging at (Y/N). She reached his form incredibly fast leaving him little time to react to her attack.

She swung her spear downwardly slashing at him, but he saw this coming, so he was able to dodge back just in time. Neyah didn’t allow him much breathing room, as she immediately followed that swing up by dashing towards him again. She attempted to stab him with a thrust from her spear, using the momentum of her dash to her advantage, but her spears tip was met with a clash as it clanged against a hard fist.

(Y/N) was able to counteract her spear with a strong punch I hopes that he may be able to parry the strike, however that didn’t happen. Neyah remained unfazed by the clash and broke the encounter by pulling back her spear and thrusting it forward in a barrage of stabs that (Y/N), due to his handicap, was unable to bear. “Shit,” he thought as he was forced to leap out of the way of her rapid spear thrusts. It took a moment for Neyah to recover from her attack which was not unnoticed by (Y/N). The moment his feet reached the ground, he closed the distance between the two of them, using the range of her spear against her. He got extremely close into her guard and thought, “Cross-Up, Shotgun Blow” as the skill was activated his right fist reeled back and shot forward at Neyah. In response, she put up her guard to block the punch, feeling unable to dodge, but the punch never came. Instead, (Y/N)’s punch was seemingly canceled mid-flight giving way for his left hand to grab tightly to her neck and pull her forward. His now free right fist turned its momentum from over hand punch, to rising uppercut as his fist smashed into her core. Then, unexpectedly, a (F/C) fist appeared right behind the first and following the initial strike it smashed itself in the same spot as the first punch. The second strike was a lot weaker than the first, but their combined strength left Neyah feeling a bit soar in the moment. However, despite the strength of the combined punches her Aura didn’t waver.

Feeling the need to create a bit of space (Y/N) quickly followed the attack with another skill, “Brutal Throw.” Using his fist that was lodged in her torso, he lifted her off the ground and threw her a good distance away, with the assistance of his Semblance, the throw went a bit further than he had intended. Neyah soared through the air eventually reaching its stopping point as she slammed into the far wall of the training room.

You are now on Overtime, Pay Rate; Half-Time

{824 DMG!}

{412 DMG!}

{482 DMG!}

For about half a second, (Y/N) felt a bit bad for what he had done to one of the girls he held dearly. However, that feeling left as the instant she hit the ground she hopped back up, changing her spear into a bow. She pulled back the empty bow string and formed a sharp white arrow using her Semblance Warrior’s Manifestation. As (Y/N) saw her prepped arrow, he used a skill of his own to counter it, “Pressure Punch!” He quickly crouched into a stance that accentuated his punching form, and as soon as Neyah released the Aura arrow, he rocketed his fist forward causing two following balls of pressured air to soar through the sky rapidly approaching the glowing white arrow. The strength of the fist caused two loud thunderous claps to echo throughout the room, shocking Nix with the sound.

The duo of pressurized air and strong aura arrow met each other in the center of the room, with the Arrow piercing through the initial pressure punch, but clashing for a moment with the other. However, the Half-Time driven ball of air was unable to match the Arrows strength and it shot through, speeding towards (Y/N)’s form. (Y/N) watched as the arrow grew closer and closer to his face, but he was able to duck the Aura just barely due to its speed being decreased from the clashing skill. “Damn that was a close one” was what he thought, as he looked across the training room at Neyah who began grinning menacingly. She then pulled back her bow again, this time forming three arrows within in it, and she then shot them unceremoniously at her lover. “Shit! Pressure Punch, Pressure Punch, Pressure Punch” He rapidly shot the pressured air forward, clashing them with each of her approaching arrows. Now that he knew the effect of the clash, he was able to preemptively dodge the strikes. However, what he did not account for was Neyah to immediately follow those arrows with 4 more which caught him off guard. He was unable to dodge, but the slowdown from the pressure punches wouldn’t be enough to dodge the incoming attack. He was about to result using another skill, when he heard a small ding in the back of his mind.

Pay Up!

A massive grin found its way across his face as he spoke four more skills into existence, “Pressure Punch, Pressure Punch, Pressure Punch, Pressure Punch” the pressurized balls of air shot forward with equally strong balls of air following each one. The arrows clashed with the skill on the side of the battlefield closest to (Y/N), but as they shredded through the initial air balls, they were met again with the ones formed by Overtime. As the two clashed, the glowing white arrows were crushed under pressure, shattering like glass in the air.

Neyah quickly realized she could no longer zone her opponent out, so she turned her weapon back into a spear, and transformed them further into dual wielded spear heads. As she was doing that, (Y/N) sprinted at her, immediately following the smashing of her Warrior Manifestation. As he rapidly approached, she prepared to dodge his incoming attack by crouching low and bolstering her feet so she could easily move in any direction.

On the other hand, (Y/N) was prepared to end this battle with this skill. He gained more and more speed with each small step and with this speed came increased strength in his next skill, and when he felt it was enough, he activated it, “Speared Drop!” As he reached the halfway point between the center of the room and Neyah’s location, he leaped into the air and put his feet together in drop kick formation. He flew through the air like an arrow quickly approaching Neyah’s prepared form, but the instant she saw (Y/N) approaching her, goosebumps ran down her spine. He was approaching far faster than he should have been, and her body instinctively knew that she needed to get the fuck out of the way. Neyah then used all the strength she could manage to dive out from the trajectory of deadly attack. She made it out with moments to spare, and she watched as (Y/N)’s feet careened into the wall of the training room with force that she had never seen. As his feet touched the wall, it immediately caved under the immense pressure of his attack, causing a large crater to immediately form under his feet. A large BOOM echoed across the room, and the entire hallway shook and trembled under the strength of his attack, however the worst was yet to come. As his feet connected, two more Aura made, (F/C) feet slammed into the wall at the same speed with the same strength, deepening the crater immensely and shacking the building further.

Critical Strike! {8760 DMG!}

{8760 DMG!}

As his skills attack was complete, (Y/N) used the wall as a foothold and jumped from it, soaring threw the room, and aiming himself directly at his rising opponent. He took a slight notice to the effects of his kick but determined that it was not of much importance to him now. And as he flew threw the air, he created another plan to end the battle. “Ferocious Tackle” was the skill he settled on and as the skill activated, he dove quickly to the ground, wrapping his arms around Neyah and bringing her down to the ground under him.

As he laid across her, he immediately took notice that the white Aura around her was blinking, and a small smile made its way across his face. “I win” was what he whispered into her ear as he kept her pinned to the ground beneath him.

The air was still for a moment, neither Nix nor Neyah said anything, and the girl that he found himself on top of began trembling slightly. Panic instantly shocked its way through (Y/N)’s body as he realized what may have happened. The Speared Drop was a critical hit, the damage that it did to the wall was extremely evident to everyone in the room even without them knowing the specific number value that was assigned to them. The impact that the attack had on Neyah was now obvious to him. Fear. The fear that the soaring drop kick would be the last sight that she would ever see. The fear that she would never be able to accomplish her vengeance. The fear that she could have died at the hands of her lover.

All of this came crashing down into (Y/N)’s mind as immediately tried his best to comfort Neyah. “Oh my god Neyah I’m so sorry! Are you alright? Do you any help from me? I’s so fucking sorry! I swear to you, if that attack would’ve hit you, it wouldn’t have done nearly as much as it did to that wall. I am so fucking sor-“(Y/N) couldn’t finish his final thoughts as Neyah’s trembling hands quickly wrapped themselves around his head, and her lips crashed roughly into his own.

The kiss was intense and sloppy, with Neyah roughly inserting her tongue into his mouth. She lapped heavily, tasting every surface of her mate’s mouth before she suddenly broke the kiss allowing steamy saliva to drool from their lips. Neyah quickly drank up all the excess spit that escaped from the intense kiss and she licked her lips to savor the taste of her mate’s enthralling orifice. As (Y/N) recovered from the intense showing of love, the only word that managed to escape from his lips were “Huh?”

Neyah responded by wrapping her legs around his waist tightly bring him closer to herself, and she whispered into his ears, “Babies, cubies, mini (Y/N)’s, I want them. I want you to put a baby in me right now. I can’t take it anymore; I want you to fill up my heat with your hot load and make me pregnant. I want to walk around with a swollen belly, caring and nursing your child in my womb. Please, please, please, please, please, please, pleeeeeeaaaassssseee gimme your babies.”

(Y/N) looked down at the horny mess that was Neyah in immense confusion. “Wait you’re not afraid? I almost took your head off with a drop kick from hell, and you’re not fearful at all?”

“Of course, not Darling, I’m so fucking turned on right now, who wouldn’t be after a showing of strength like that.” Neyah responded innocently.

“So lemme get this straight, you’re not scarred, you horny?” Neyah nodded her head letting (Y/N) know that all his worry was for nothing. “Oh, thank fucking god. I was scarred shitless. I thought that you got scared that I could’ve killed you or something, and I panicked. I honestly thought that you might get so scarred you’d end up not loving me anymore.”

Neyah completely snapped out of her aroused state as she heard the words that came from (Y/N)’s mouth. In response, she clasped her lips around his in a chaste kiss before she broke the sudden kiss and began glaring deeply into his eyes. “Don’t you ever say a goddamn thing like that ever again! FUCKING EVER! I could never stop loving you, even if you killed me in cold blood my love for you wouldn’t waver for even a moment. For you to even think that my unconditional love and undying loyalty could be compromised even in the slightest bit is the biggest insult that you could EVER say to me or Nix. So, you better make fucking sure shit like that never ever touches that sexy brain of yours or we are going to have a serious issue. You got me?”

(Y/N) looked at Neyah with shock as he was scalded by his lover, but that shock soon turned to a beaming smile as he responded with “yes ma’am.”

Neyah's smile returned to her face as she heard his reply, and she responded with a light “Good boy” as she moved her hands to head giving him light comforting head pats. The pair then laid on the ground for a moment longer, sharing chaste kisses before getting up from their position on the ground. As they got up, Neyah playfully slapped her man on the ass and said, “Imma still need my fucking Cubs sometime soon alright!”

(Y/N) flinched slightly at the comment and chuckled as he responded with, “I see what I can do about that.” The group had a laugh at the comment, with Nix and Byakko joining in on the conversation.

Nix joined in with, “Baby, you are truly incredibly strong! I never thought that you’d be able to show such power again after you saved us in our initial meeting.” Nix spoke as her glowed brightly in love and admiration.

“It really wasn’t much, besides Neyah’s speed was by far more impressive. And plus” he turned to Neyah as he spoke,” your versatility with your Semblance is fantastic. I know that you weren’t able to show much, but you came up with a solid strategy to deal with my close-range pressure. If I hadn’t been able to use those pressure punches and my Semblance didn’t pay up, then you would’ve had me.”

A light bulb suddenly went off in Neyah’s head, “Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to ask you. What is your Semblance? It’s dope as fuck, but I kinda get confused when I think about it.” Nix looked like she had a similar question rolling around her head.

“I can’t believe I never explained it. My Semblance is called Overtime, and it essentially just uses my Aura to follow up after whatever attack I do. Also, the more often I use it consecutively the stronger the follow up attack is, but it will also take more Aura to use. Whenever the strength gets upgraded, I call it a Pay Up.”

Nix replied quickly, “Wow! That’s an amazing Semblance. In comparison, my Semblance is far less reliable in combat.”

(Y/N) looked at her confusingly wondering what she could mean by ‘not combat reliable.’ “Her Semblance is a mass debuff and the Bell is also a mass buff, that’s an overpowered combination. If anything, that’s probably the most combat reliable Semblance that there is, especially when dealing with mass group of Grimm. I think that you’re discounting yourself, I believe that your Semblance is amazingly useful, especially in combat.”

“No, no, no, you are giving me far too much credit. All my Semblance does is slow people down, it’s not all that impressive.” Now (Y/N) knew for sure that she was just misinformed, because if all it did was slow people down the description wouldn’t use the term ‘weaken’, but now he had to figure out a way to tell her that.

“How about we have that quick spar now so I can show you how combat reliable you truly are.” Now Nix’s nervousness was showing heavily across her face and body. She shook slightly, her skin started to secrete sweat, and (Y/N) could actually hear her heart beating a mile an hour as he proposed the battle.

Nix’s first reaction was to avoid the situation entirely, “I-I-I don’t th-think that is very necessary Baby. You have already exerted lots of energy in your battle against my sister, I don’t believe that it would be very fair to you if we sparred after such an event.”

For a moment, (Y/N) thought about refuting her points one by one, but then he figured that she would more than likely just come up with new points leaving them with no gained ground. So instead, he chose the more direct route by asking, “why don’t you want to fight, or train for that matter Nix?”

Her nervousness peaked in that moment, and her immediate reaction was to deny the acquisition, “what are you talking about Babe? “She managed to say without stuttering, but her tone remained shaky at best.

“Nix” (Y/N) gently grasped her chin and turned her head to his own, forcing her to look into his own eyes, “you don’t have to lie to me. I love you, and I am never going to stop loving you regardless of what you say. With that being said, I know that you have been nervous ever since we brought up training at lunch today and you’ve been much shyer and hesitant since then. So, what is the issue?”

Tears began welling up into her eyes as she heard her man’s words, and she chose to speak the truth to him. “I am not strong. I have never been strong, and I never will be! It doesn’t matter how hard I try or how much I practice; I can never punch as hard as Neyah! I will never run as fast as Neyah! I am a completely useless version of my sister.” At this point Nix was crouched on the ground, hands cupping her face, sobbing into her hands. Neyah immediately went to comfort her sister, wrapping her arms around her in a tight embrace as she continued to pour her heart out. “The only reason I am even relevant is simply because I was given The Lady of the Snow. Without this weapon I am trash! I am nothing. Even if you’ll still love me regardless of my strength, I couldn’t bear knowing that I am just a weakling clinging onto both of your great strength. I want to be useful; I want you to love me for me as well as for my strength, but if I have no strength to love than I’d rather be dead. I didn’t want you to learn of my weakness that is why I was so nervous about training.”

After Nix finished her heartful speech on why she felt the way she did, (Y/N) was stuck in his mind trying to understand why she thinks this way. His mind moved rapidly coming up with multiple theories and solutions to the issue that he was confronted with, but only one seemed like the correct move. “Hit me.”

Nix sniffled as she recomposed herself, “huh?”

“I said hit me. Stand up and punch me with all your strength.” Nix was incredibly confused and extremely nervous as she heard her mates request, but because it came from him, she couldn’t decline. She slowly rose to her feet while wiping her face of the last bit of the tears that found themselves clinging to her gorgeous face.

“Okay, please try not to be too disappointed in me my love.” As soon as Nix finished her sentence, she pulled her fist back and with perfect form swung it forward connecting solidly against (Y/N)’s golden Aura.

{-0 SHD!}

Tears began forming back into her eyes as she shakily said, “see, I warned you my love. I am weak.”

(Y/N) ignored her comment as his mind continued to move, “turn your bell into a dagger and cut me with it as hard as you can. Don’t ask, just do it please.”

“The results will remain the same Baby, but I will oblige.” Nix then did as she was told and turned the Bell into a blade. She then raised the blade and brought it down against (Y/N) as strongly as she could.

{-0 SHD!}

As he felt the blade rub itself up against his Aura, the gears in his mind suddenly clicked. He knew exactly how to solve this little strength issue that Nix was having, but it would require a bit of resource that he was more than willing to use to help his lover. “Nix may I see that blade that you are holding for a moment?” Nix handed over the dagger with no hesitation, and as soon as it reached (Y/N)’s hands he got to work. “Meta, can you open up the forge for me please.”

[Yessir!]

As soon as the forge was open, (Y/N) went through certain options and upgrades he could use for the weapon and after a little bit of a search he found what he was looking for. It was a little stat called Attribute Entrenchment. This seemingly small mechanic was extremely important, and its function was to determine what Attribute to base damage off. For example, what the system called ‘Magic Skills’ were simply skills with its Attribute Entrenched in INT, and ‘Physical Skills’ are skills with its Attribute Entrenched in STR. Essentially, Attribute Entrenchment is synonymous with ‘Based on’ and ‘Scaled off of’ or whatever other terminology the System uses. However, when it comes to weapon forging it is identified as Attribute Entrenchment, and it just so happens that The Lady of the Snow is a bit weird in its Entrenchment. The Bell and Gun form are both Entrenched in INT, however the dagger form is Entrenched in STR. It just so happens that Nix’s STR is exceptionally low, however her INT is the exact opposite and is exceptionally high. So, all (Y/N) had to do was change the Attribute Entrenchment on the Dagger form which costed him 1 AUG, ouch, and it was all set problem solved.

However, once he paid the cost, it had an unintended effect on the weapon and Nix as a whole. “Here you go Nix,” is what he said as he handed the fixed weapon back to her, “what I would like you to do is cut me with the blade again, but this time I want you to focus more on your Aura than your muscles.” That last bit about the Aura was kind of a bluff. While it may help her get into contact with her INT more, he only really said it so that she could have a plausible reason for the weapon to suddenly do so much damage.

“I understand” Nix said as she prepped the blade for another swing.

“This is gonna hurt like a bitch” was the only thought that crossed his mind as Nix brought her blade down onto (Y/N)’s golden Aura. She expected nothing to change, but for whatever reason she could feel the intense strength of her swing as she began the downward arc of her swing. As she noticed the feeling, she stopped her swing right before the dagger contacted her lovers, Aura. “Nix, why’d you stop?”

Nix’s face lit up like lights in Christmas time as she dashed up to her lover and wrapped her arms around him in a warm embrace. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I love you so much Baby!” He tried his best to feign confusion, but it clearly wasn’t working on Nix. “I have been training with this weapon for years and it has never felt like this in my hands before. You may say ‘focus on your Aura’, but you cannot fool me Mr. You definitely changed this dagger in some way, and I may not know how you did it, but I am extremely thankful to you for it.”

He was somehow immediately found out, but since he was found out, he may as well explain how she can put it to use since there was no need for the secrecy. “All I did was make the weapon suit your strength more than it did before. The power of the sword is 100% still based on you. But that’s not all, how about you try to punch something and tell me how it feels.”

Nix looked a bit confused, but as she started shadow boxing with the air, she could feel the difference. That was the other effect of changing the Attribute Entrenchment of the Dagger form, it also changed the Entrenchment of her base attacks to INT as well. As she finished destroying the surrounding air with her Int based punches, she turned to (Y/N) with glowing eyes admiration and curiosity. “How?!?!?”

That was all she said, but her simply question rang with a seemingly infinite complexity to it. He thought for a moment on how to respond, but he ended up deciding that it was a conversation for later for a multitude of reasons. “I can’t exactly explain it right now. I’m sorry, but it’ll be a lot to take in and you guys should both be focused on winning this tournament. I promise that I’ll tell you both in full detail about my origins, my abilities, and everything else you want to know, but for now I am going to have to reluctantly keep it a secret.”

Both Nix and Neyah were surprisingly completely unbothered by his statement replying with extreme understanding. Nix was first by saying, “don’t worry Baby! I understand completely and I appreciate that you are looking out for the both of us. You are free to explain whenever you wish, I honestly wouldn’t mind if chose to keep it a secret, since I would love you with all of my heart regardless.”

Neyah followed up with, “yeah, I don’t really give a fuck honestly. I do wanna know how you grew up and stuff, but I’m more interested in the person you are now then how you were. It would still be cool to know how you can easily shatter walls and shake the building like an earthquake while holding back.”

“Holding back?” he said, slightly confused.

“Yeah, holding back. What? You thought I couldn’t tell? I didn’t notice when you originally came to our room cause I was too sleepy, but I felt it when I woke. Hell, even Nix felt it! You were a bunch stronger than you were when we drank that delicious cum of yours.”

“You didn’t have to use that time as the benchmark of strength but ok” he interjected with. “Please continue.”

“Yeah, like I was saying you got a fuck ton stronger in one night which was hot. And right before we started our little sparring session, I could feel your power decrease a bunch. I honestly thought that you were insulting me, saying that I wasn’t strong enough and you were gonna go easy on me, but then you punched me really hard in the gut and I immediately knew that you were challenging yourself as well. Then I saw you destroy that wall and realized that you were also doing it so I didn’t die in one punch. Which is incredibly sweet.” A small blush crept its way onto her face as she whispered out the last bit.

(Y/N) looked at Neyah completely awe struck and unintentionally said, “you are incredibly smart.”

Neyah’s face exploded in red, and her ears turned an extremely deep crimson as she tried to explain away her deduction, “No I’m just a dumb battle freak, I’m not that good in the brain department. You don’t have to flatter me; I am already madly in love with you so stop with the false compliments.”

He immediately disputed her statement with, “I’m serious, you are incredibly smart! Your ability to deduce conclusions from random bits of information is incredible! Plus, you have a crazy high fighting IQ, and you can figure shit out easily in the middle of a fight. It is incredibly impressive. Honestly, you both are. I’m the luckiest guy in the world to always have two beauties like you by my side, and an adorable and extremely loyal tiger cub that is always willing to back me up.” Byakko yipped loudly as she leaped into (Y/N)’s arms, and the group shared a warm embrace to appreciate each other’s existences.

The group hug ended as (Y/N) looked over to the time and it read 1;29;26 showing an hour and a half left until they had to give up the room. He looked over his group and started speaking, “Ok, it’s already been a half an hour and we’ve only gotten a single spar in. But we did fix Nix’s weapon and punching problem, so I’ll consider this first bit of time a success. However, Nix, your pool begins tomorrow so we still got a bit of work to do before You are completely ready to decimate your competition. So, we are going to start with a quick spare with the same rules as before, and then well move to specifics to help improve both of your combat prowess. That sound like a plan?”

“Yeah/Understood!” The group then got to work, with Nix and (Y/N) stepping onto separate sides of the now semi tattered training room. The battle went very similarly to the one between him and Neyah as Nix was easily able to keep him out with the pistol form of her weapon. The Bullets from Nix’s handgun were far faster than Neyah’s bow and Aura arrows, so it was slightly more difficult for him to get in. With his nerfed speed the only reason he was able to smoothly dodge the attacks was because of Nix’s tendency to telegraph where she was going to shoot. It dawned on (Y/N) as he watched her shooting that she was easily able to shoot precision shots because she predicted how her opponent would move. This strategy was ineffective against him because of his naturally reactive fighting style was, so he was able to throw off her predictions using various feints. Once she finally noticed how he kept dodging her shots she adjusted accordingly, trying to shoot where he was instead of where he was going to be, however it was too little too late as (Y/N) was able to quickly close the distance using his triple jump.

He quickly bounced off the walls to not create too much suspicion and generate more height than usual. As he reached the triple jump apex, he began crashing towards the ground using another one of his newer skills, Meteor Fall. For a moment, Nix shot blast after blast into his falling form, but his strength overcame the precision shots, and he came crashing into the ground regardless. The blast from his attack did a decent amount of damage to her, but Nix was able to avoid most of the damage by guarding with her weapon and leaping backwards out of the center of the attack. But since her lover had managed to close the distance, she transformed her weapon into the bell and rung it loudly. The instant he heard the song from the ringing Bell he felt the effects and what he saw surprised him greatly.

You are being affected by Panthera Frostbite -10% to All Attributes

“What the fuck is this?!?! 10% decrease to all Attributes, that’s fucking crazy! Maybe she thinks that it only slows people down because she ends up defeating them before she even realizes that they also take more damage, deal less damage, have less Aura, have less health, are dumber, and have shit fucking luck!” He pocketed the information in the back of his mind and continued his rush down assault on Nix. While in close range, she was able to expertly use her dagger to fend off his attacks most of his basic attacks. She didn’t fall for any of the feints that he coordinated as he used his normal punches to slowly break down her guard. She did better than her sister in this close-range encounter simply because of her weapons shorter range. Neyah still had the long-range spear active when she rushed him down, but if she began with the short dual wielded spear heads, she probably would’ve been able to overpower him due to the different in speed. Nix on the other hand was phenomenal at defending, but when it came to turning that defense back into offense she was extremely lacking. It was very clear that this was the effect of her true strength not being fully utilized all this time.

Nix was seemingly hyper aware of that fact, and instead of naturally waiting for a slip up, or parrying an attack, she attempted to force her turn by leaping up into the air and coming down with a strong slash, but because of the obvious attack (Y/N) was able to expertly counter the sudden movement with two powerful skills of his own. Wanted to show her the error of her attack, he chose to use Parry Strike and parry her attack with the rising skill Flash Kick, which he used to kick her blade free from her grip leaving her incredibly vulnerable to a counterattack. And of course (Y/N) did just that by following up with Sky Drop, jumping int the air, gripping her shoulders and slamming her harshly against the ground. He landed quickly and took advantage of the opportunity to grab onto her yet again using Shotgun Blow to crush her Aura into the red, finishing their sparring session.

“Wow Nix you did a wonderful job! Your technique with the Dagger and the efficiency to switch the forms on the fly was phenomenal! I’m sure you noticed, but you tend to think a bit too much in the middle of a fight. Predicting movements is good against a fighter that uses a set path or technique, and maybe even the mindless ones, but against a reactive fighter that can adapt on the fly you’re not gonna hit those shots because you telegraph too much. Your eyes and hands give away where and when your gonna shoot, so your gonna have to change that. Also, your gonna need some practice in hand to hand, because you don’t truly understand how strongly you really are just yet.” He then turned his attention to Neyah who was chilling comfortably with Byakko on the side of the room next to the timer window.

“And you Neyah you have a different issue, you are extremely strong fighter, and your skill is absolutely phenomenal. Your battle IQ is super high, so most of the time you can get an upper hand by intuition alone, but you still need think a little when you fight. For example, you can’t just start out with the spear because you like it the most or because it’s the medium form for your weapon. You gotta think about your opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, for example I don’t use a weapon, yet, so I gotta get in extremely close. Since you were using the spear, you could’ve kept me out and used the range to your advantage, but instead you chose to rush me down which got you hurt. Also, you really need to work on your Aura management, you can’t just go around using your Semblance willy nilly like you did against me. I’m sure that you can use an amazing amount of Aura without running out, but you need to use it more wisely or you may end up doing more damage to yourself than your opponent will.” (Y/N) stopped giving his advice for a moment to check up on how they were taking the criticism, and to his surprise, they were completely enthralled by his words. They hung on to every single word that escaped his lips, and like a person stranding in the desert, they thirsted for more.

A smile crossed his face as they looked up to (Y/N) for more information, and he chose to end it with the truth of their current situation. “You both are incredibly strong, and I think that even without my help you would easily be able to crush your competition and bare minimum place top 8 in the Summer Tournament, but if you wanna win your gonna have to train and strategize a little bit more. Are you two readies for you next lesson?”

“HELL YEAH/YES!”
