Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 55

-Orario-

As soon as Jaune was finished fighting, he decided to return to the surface. When he arrived back at the base, he didn’t know that he was going to be surprised.

Everyone had a discussion in the few hours that Jaune was gone, they all decided that they are willing to convert their Aura to Mana, but there is a condition, Jaune is to teach them how to use Mana and replicate the abilities of Aura.

Jaune was happy to oblige with such a decision, he also told them that he would be gone for a while later to pick up a magic teacher for them. Everyone asked why Jaune couldn’t teach them. Jaune had to explain that his magic was different from them.

Jaune doesn’t have Mana, he has Infinite Magic. These are two different things Mana can do magic like summoning, elemental magic…etc. Jaune’s infinite magic is different, it isn’t derived from mana, to put it simply, it is pure energy without form, it is the reason why Jaune can recreate Chakra related abilities, or Mana related abilities, heck, he can even replicate Semblances if he wanted, that’s because when he activates Arc of Embodiment, his magic’s nature changes, whether it be to replicate Chakra, Mana, Aura, or other forms of energy, he can even change it to something called the Heaven and Earth Energy if he wanted.

After explaining this, everyone understood why Jaune couldn’t teach them how to wield magic like him, but they were hoping the teacher that Jaune brings is patient since they know nothing about magic at all, meaning they will have lots of questions.

Jaune ȧssured them that the person that he was thinking of was a great person and a great teacher, but Jaune made them promise that when he brings her here, they wouldn’t mention anything about dating as that person was sėnsɨtɨvė to that matter. Everyone just nodded, especially the girls like Glynda, Blake and Coco, they knew that girls can be too sėnsɨtɨvė about their marital status sometimes.

After that, Jaune takes out a pill. It was clear, this surprised everyone since they were used to see Jaune giving out colour pills such as Red, Blue and Gold. Jaune explained that the pills are the medicine they need to ingest to convert their Aura to Mana. Jaune also explained to them that it would take a full 24 hours before all their Aura converts to Mana. But before they all took the pills, Penny asked Jaune a question.

“Uhm…Jaune? What about the capacity for our new Mana? Will it be the same as our Aura capacity or will it lessen?” Penny asked.

“Unfortunately, the amount you have will lessen to just about 1/3 of your Aura capacity since Aura is so thin that it needs to be condensed to become Mana. You should be glad that you all already took the Red pill to enhance your Aura capacity and density, if you didn’t, then you would have only around 1/15 of your Aura capacity when converted,” Jaune explained.

“Is Aura that much weaker than Mana?” Ruby asked.

“It is. That is the reason why the Maidens are powerful,” Jaune said.

Later at night, RWBY, CFVY, NPR, NP and Glynda took the Aura converter. Jaune took this chance to head to Draconic Deus with Koneko so that they can look for Rossweisse.

Meanwhile with Loki Familia.

The group that followed Jaune returned to the Twilight Manor. They were all still a bit shaken about what they experience. At one point, they all thought that they would die.

Bete was the most shaken up since he was planning on messing with Jaune at some point, but now he wasn’t going to do that.

When they arrived at the Twilight Manor, they saw Loki with her usual playful smirk, but as soon as Loki saw the dread in their face, it disappeared in was replaced with a serious expression.

“What’s wrong? I’ve never seen any of you with such expression before,” Loki asked.

“Nothing’s wrong. We just followed the guy that has been on Ais’ mind to the dungeon,” Bete said.

“Please tell me you didn’t attack someone,” Loki said.

“I didn’t. And I never want anything to do with that guy, I’m staying away from him as far away as possible,” Bete said.

“Eh?” Loki was confused, she’s never seen Bete back down like this.

“I think we should explain everything from the beginning,” Riveria said.

The explanation took an hour to conclude. Riveria didn’t exclude anything out, she even told Loki about her attraction to Jaune or at least attraction on something about him.

Loki understood everything they said. But did she believe them? Yes, she did. Loki never had a reason to not trust her Familia. Was it hard to believe everything they said? Yes, it is.

“Is everything Riveria said accurate?” Loki asked everyone.

“It is. At least to our knowledge and everything we witnessed,” Finn said.

“Hmm? What I don’t understand is why the Dungeon sealed the area? It doesn’t do that unless a God’s Arcanum is detected. Could the Axe-Hammer that Ais saw have something to do with it?” Loki said.

“Why don’t we just go and ask the person himself?” Riveria suggested.

“Are you crazy! What happens if you pissed him off and he decided that you are too much of a nosy bitch?! There is nothing we will be able to do against him unless Loki-sama intervenes by using her Godly powers! And from what I can tell during that person’s fight, he wasn’t even pushing himself to the limit!” Bete said.

This was the reason that he didn’t want to go anywhere near Jaune, he got the feeling that Jaune was hiding his true abilities, he doesn’t have proof, but he wasn’t going to ignore his instinct.

-Draconic Deus-

When Jaune and Koneko arrived on Earth, the first thing they did was meet with Rias and the others. They were happy to see Jaune and Koneko. Jaune also learned that a month has gone by since he and Koneko left.

Jaune didn’t know what was going on, that wasn’t supposed to happen. He made up his mind to speak with One True God.

Jaune needed more explanation regarding his ability to travel worlds, or how DxD seemed to have its time flowing in the same ratio as Remnant.

But for now, Jaune wanted to ask Rias if he can talk to Serafall. Rias replied that Serafall was currently in Kyoto, she was talking with the leader of the Youkai.

If Jaune wanted to speak with her, he needed to head to Kyoto and meet her there since Serafall was staying there for a while.

Jaune was very apprehensive about heading to Kyoto. He knew that Youkai’s are very in tune with nature, therefore, they would be attracted to Jaune, whether it be male or female.

Jaune was fine if the female was to get close to him, but there was no way that he would let any man get close to him, he would beat them up if they try.
