Another Dimension Traveler - Volume 1 Chapter 102 102
(Leon POV)
Leon: “What do you mean?” [Feigning ignorance].
Ozpin took out his scroll and send something. My scroll vibrates and I open it up.
Ozpin: “Leon Parker. Age 17. For 9 years you’ve been working at a famous bakery called ‘Sweetie Pies’. In the surface, your just a worker there, serving the customers but in actuality, you’re the store owner. No information of previously attending academies but can wield a sword and gauntlet proficiently. It’s almost as if you just appeared 9 years ago out of nowhere?”
Leon: [Whistle] “Not bad, you’ve been doing your homework. So tell me stalker or should I call you your real name.”
I put both of my elbows on the table and rest my chin on the palm of both of my hands.
Leon: “Ozma, how’s Salem these days?”
Ozpin’s pupils shrank and he shattered his cup. He still looks at me but I can see his anxiousness in his eyes.
Leon: [Laughs] “Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t help myself. I was just teasing you. I have no malicious intention against you. On the contrary, believe it or not, I’m on the good side.”
Ozpin: “So you know everything?”
Leon: “Yup, including the two brother gods, you and Salem’s curse and the 4 relics. Basically everything.”
Ozpin narrows his eyes.
Ozpin: “What’s your goal?”
I put my feet on the table and let myself comfortable again.
Leon: “Well for starters, attend Beacon and become a student there, turn Salem human again and after that, travel elsewhere? Oh did I mention that I’m not from around this world?”
Ozpin was dumbfounded and didn’t replies because he’s still processing on what I just said. Few minutes later, he then ask something.
Ozpin: “So you don’t have any evil intentions against me and you want to turn Salem back to regular person?”
Leon: “Yup.”
Ozpin: “You want to attend Beacon as a student?”
Leon: “Yup.”
Ozpin: “And travel elsewhere?”
Leon: “What are you, a recorder? I already said that. Oh and I’ll take someone with me, alright?”
Ozpin pause for a moment.
Ozpin: “What do you mean that you’re not around from this world?”
Leon: “Well I have the ability to travel different dimensions. This is not my original world. My original world has no Grimms, dust or any of this aura and other things. It was somewhat peaceful. Whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t really matter anyway. All I want to do take my time in this world, defeat Salem and move on to the next world.”
Ozpin: “And you’re telling me this because?”
Leon: “Because I think you need some milk I mean you need some allies and it doesn’t really matter if I tell you about myself. Oh and speaking of allies, might I suggest to keep an eye on Leonardo Lionheart. He’s on the dark side now.”
Ozpin didn’t respond but he will check up on Lionheart later.
Ozpin: “And how will you defeat Salem? You do realize no one can defeat her.”
Leon: “And that’s where your wrong you old geezer. You said ‘How do ‘I’ destroy Salem?” YOU can’t destroy her. You specifically said I, which means YOU can’t defeat her. There are other ways to defeat her and I’m one of those ways. Try to ask better questions next time.”
Ozpin contemplates on what I just said. Then he laughs. He laughs madly and then he laughs while tears forms on his eyes.
Ozpin: “All those years, I’ve been such a fool.”
I summon a box of tissue and gave it to him. He said thanks.
Leon: “See you at Beacon.”
I teleported away.
The next few days, I receive at text stating that I’ve been admitted at Beacon Academy and I told Jack that he’ll be in charge of the caf while I’m gone.
Jack: “Good luck boss.”
Leon: “Thanks. While I’m gone, find a partner already, you’re not getting younger, you know?”
Jack: “Oh come on. You’re not my father and I’m 39 years old, it’s still considered young.”
I roll my eyes and went to the transportation aircraft and meet someone there. While I was inside the aircraft with someone, I gaze the city through the glass.
Ruby: “Leon!”
Someone hugs me from behind and I turn around. It was Ruby.
Leon: “Hey Rubes.”
Ruby: “I’m so glad you’ll be joining us at beacon.”
I pat her head and she seems to like it.
???: [Whistle] “Where not even there yet and you already got a boyfriend baby sister? I’m impress.”
A blonde walks towards us and looks at me and Ruby. It was Yang, Ruby’s sister.
Ruby: “What’s wrong being friends with a boy?”
Yang just grins at her sister and then she looks at me. I roll my eyes and offer her a handshake. Yang accepts my handshake.
Ruby: “Yang, this is Leon. Leon, this is Yang.”
Yang: “Ruby told me all about you. She told me your pretty good with your hands.”
I’m not sure if she talking about my weapon skills, baking or just being a pervert.
Leon: “Well I do have my ways of using my hands. Would you like to find out in action?”
Yang: “How about later? Maybe I can show what my hands can really do.”
Leon: “I’m looking forward to it.”
We chuckle each other. We’re just joking around while Ruby just confused at our conversation.
Yang gaze the person beside me and ask me.
Yang: “Who’s the cutie? Don’t tell me she’s your girlfriend.”
Leon: “Oh let me introduce her to you. She’s Neopolitan Dream or Neo for short. She’ll be attending Beacon with us.”
Neo bows but never talks. Within 9 years ago and while was on vacation, I saw Neo in an alleyway begging for food. She was malnourished and she wears rags for clothes. I saved her and gave her a place to stay. I carefully use Legilimency and check her past. I can only see her mother in her memories and her father is nowhere to be seen. Her mother was abusive to her and whenever she cried or say something, she get reprimanded. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why she can’t talk? Her mother left her and she never came back. Neo survive by begging or find foods from trash.
(AC: “This is not canon. I’m just creating her background story.)
She’s with me ever since. She’s now a waitress at our store and even though she won’t talk, she still serve the customers professionally. She wasn’t with me during the fight with me and Ronan because she’s was out shopping. I manage to convince to talk to me and her voice was really cute. Unfortunately, she can only talk to me when we’re alone.
I also teach her how to fight and unlock her aura. I also gave her my magic and her semblance improve a lot. Her illusions are like Weiss glyphs. She can make doppelgangers of other people but she can’t maintain them for long.
I told Ruby and Yang that she can’t talk to someone she doesn’t know but Ruby and Yang didn’t mind it at all.
We heard someone makes a puking noise and we saw Jaune from at the corner trying not to puke.
Yang: “I guess the view isn’t for everyone.”
Ruby: “It was a nice moment went it lasted.”
We see the academy from the distance. It was beautiful. Everyone is pretty excited, except for me. I was pretty chill about it.
Ruby: “I wonder who we will ever meet.”
Yang: “Better that vomit boy over there.”
Jaune was about to vomit Yang’s feet but I warned her and she evaded it. I knock Jaune out and carry him on my shoulder. Yang said thanks for the warning and everyone said thanks as well for knocking Jaune out. He was getting annoying. We safely arrived at Beacon and Jaune regain conscious after we arrived.
Jaune: “Thanks for that. My name is Jaune Arc by the way.”
Leon: “Leon and the girl with me is Neo. First time flying on an aircraft?”
Jaune scratch his head out of embarrassment.
Jaune: “Yeah.”
Leon: “Well try to get used to it. You’ll be riding that every now and then.”
Jaune looks at the aircraft and his face turns green.
