Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 41

-Remnant Prime-

Koneko looked around and she saw trees…. lots and lots of trees, but when she used her sixth sense, she felt something dark roaming the forest, she looked at Jaune and saw that he just ignored the creatures.

“Jaune. What were those dark creatures?” Koneko asked. She felt that it wasn’t that strong, but it was plentiful.

“Those things are called Grimm. They are soulless creatures, their only purpose is to destroy humans and Faunus, along with their creations,” Jaune explained.

“They don’t seem strong…” Koneko commented.

“To people like us with immense strength and magic power, maybe, but against others, they are plenty powerful,” Jaune said. He then signals Koneko to follow him, he then entered the base in the Emerald Forest, followed by Koneko.

When they entered the shack, Ruby and Glynda were surprised that he was back already. The two were expecting Jaune to come back the next morning. But looking at Jaune’s vicinity, they saw Koneko tagging along.

“Oh…my…Oum! You actually did it! You actually brought someone back!” Ruby said with shock in her voice.

“I wasn’t planning to! But things happened!” Jaune shouted.

“Calm down, Jaune. I was just teasing,” Ruby said with a chuckle.

“That’s not funny!” Jaune said.

“So… What’s your name?” Ruby asked Koneko.

“Koneko Toujou,” Koneko said.

“She’s so cute. Say, do you have a crush on Jaune?” Ruby asked. Koneko didn’t answer, instead, she blushed and hid behind Jaune confirming that she indeed liked Jaune.

“Ruby. She’s a bit shy, please don’t tease her too much,” Jaune said.

“Okay, I won’t,” Ruby said.

“Jaune. Who are they?” Koneko asked.

“The one with red hair is Ruby Rose and the blonde one is Glynda Goodwitch, they are both my girlfriend,” Jaune said. This caught Koneko off guard, she didn’t think that Jaune would have two girlfriends. Oh, she’s in for a treat once she goes back into Jaune’s version of Remnant.

“Tomorrow I’m heading to Mt Glenn with Prime JNPR, RWBY and CFVY,” Jaune added why looking at Ruby and Glynda.

“Wait…CFVY is going with you?” Ruby questioned.

“Yeah. Ozpin wanted me to include them in the training as they are one of the best second years, he believes that they can help in the future fight,” Jaune said.

“By the way. Why are you heading to Mt Glenn?” Ruby asked.

“We’re heading there for a training trip. I want to see what they are capable of in case of emergency or how they will react when they meet something unexpected,” Jaune said.

“Is that unexpected thing the reason that you went to another world?” Ruby asked.

“Yup,” Jaune said with a chirpy attitude.

“Are you going to tell us what it is?” Ruby said.

“Nope!” Jaune said with a chuckle. This annoyed Ruby a bit.

“Humph! Come Koneko and I’ll show around the base,” Ruby pulled Koneko with her and blew a raspberry at Jaune.

“Are you really not going to tell us what it is?” Glynda asked.

“I can’t say it now because it would be something I will use to train our worlds JNPR, RWBY, CFVY and NP,” Jaune said.

“I see. You don’t want to give Ruby information since the purpose may become moot,” Glynda said.

“That’s right,” Jaune answered.

With Prime JNPR. They were thinking of everything that they believe they would need. With Nora and Ren’s experience travel in the woods, they were able to easily determine what is important and what isn’t.

With Prime RWBY, it was a different story altogether. Blake may have experience with camping outside, but that’s only for the short term rather than the long term since the White Fang was always on the move. So, they headed to JNPR’s dorm to ask what they may have missed, and from the looks of it, they didn’t miss much.

Both teams were excited to go on a training trip, not knowing that they are in for some bruising. Meanwhile, CFVY were confused. Ozpin called them in his office and told them that they will be personally trained by a powerful person. They didn’t know who the headmaster was referring to, but they know that they aren’t the only one being trained as Ozpin told them that JNPR and RWBY have been training with said person for a while. Being team leader, Coco was thinking if it was a good idea to go on this training trip, and her team saw that she was contemplating something and became worried.

“Coco? Is there something wrong?” Velvet asked.

“I’m just thinking about the training trip. I don’t get why Ozpin didn’t tell us anything about the person that’s going to train us. Normally he would give as much information as he can, but this time he seemed to be holding back information,” Coco explained.

“I understand that you are worried, but Ozpin is our headmaster. Do you think he would harm us on purpose?” Velvet asked.

“I guess not. It’s just I want more information so that in case something happens, we can have some backup plan,” Coco said.

“Hey, Ozpin said that RWBY and JNPR have been training with this person for a while now. Why don’t we head to their dorm and ask them?” Velvet said.

“That’s a good idea, Bun-Bun! Come on let’s head there and get some info!” Coco said while dragging Velvet with her. Meanwhile, Yatsuhashi and Fox were just relaxing in the room.

When Coco and Velvet arrived in JNPR’s dorm, Coco knocked and when the door opened, she saw that they were packing for the training trip.

“Can I help you?” Ren asked.

“Hello, beautiful. This is team JNPR’s dorm, right?” Coco asked since she has seen the new looks of JNPR.

“Say what now. Did you just call me beautiful?” Ren asked.

“That’s right. Is there something wrong?” Coco said.

“I’m a guy,” Ren said. This revelation shocked Coco. She’s never seen a guy as beautiful as Ren before.

“Oh Shit! I thought you were a girl…Anyway, this is JNPR’s dorm, right?” Coco said and immediately changed the subject.

“That’s right. Is there something you need with our team?” Ren said. He was a bit angry that someone thought that he was female.

“Right. Ozpin told me that you’ve been trained by a very powerful huntsman. I just wanted to know who this huntsman is,” Coco said.

“I understand that you want to know who this person is, however, if the headmaster didn’t give you information about him, then you should wait until tomorrow to meet said huntsman. I suggest that you use the remaining time you have to pack all necessities,” Ren said.

Coco wanted to refute, but Ren closed the door on her. Coco was speechless after Ren closed the door in her face, she’s never had anyone treat her this way.. Velvet on the other hand was laughing at Coco since she’s never seen Coco this speechless before.
