Arc Of Embodiment (Hiatus) - Chapter 90

When Weiss lifted Ahri, it was instant regret. The pain she was feeling from Ahri’s bite was immense, and you have to remember that Weiss body is no longer comparable to normal humans. This shows just how strong Ahri is, even if she is only using her teeth.

“Ahhhh!!! What in Oum is that girl’s teeth made of?! That hurts a lot!” Weiss shouted.

“Sorry about that. Ahri is quite shy, and she doesn’t like being picked up unless I’m the one doing it,” Jaune said. He then demonstrated how Ahri isn’t biting him, even after he picked her up.

After being bit by Ahri, Weiss was tending to her hand. Luckily for her, it didn’t break the skin. Therefore, it won’t take long for the pain to subside. The problem is, everyone knows that Weiss has Aura, meaning Ahri’s bite shouldn’t have hurt her, as her Aura should have blocked it.

“Weiss? Why didn’t your Aura block that bite?” Willow asked.

“Well, about that. I can explain…You see, I don’t have Aura anymore. It was converted to something Jaune calls Mana,” Weiss explained.

“Mana? What’s that?” Whitley asked.

“Jaune made extensive research on Aura. He found out that Aura is just a degraded version of something called Mana. With Aura, we can create a forcefield around us, increase our strength, speed and endurance. All these things are possible with Mana and many more,” Weiss said.

“Just how smart is that boyfriend of yours? First, he created an entire city for the Faunus in Menagerie within a few days. Second, he was able to create a company that was able to surpass the S.D.C. in months. Third, he was able to create that R.I.G. suit that he sent. Just what else is he capable of?” Willow asked.

“You have no idea. Jaune can create more advanced suit than the R.I.G., such as the suit that we wear every time we go on a mission, the nanite suit,” Weiss said. She then proceeded to show them the suit that covered her entire body.

“That’s amazing, Weiss. But if there is anything truly amazing, then it is Jaune’s bigger on the inside than the outside,” Winter said. Until now, she’s still impressed by the technology.

“Imagine a small box the size of a mini-fridge. Now, when you open the fridge, suddenly the inside is as big as our family mansion,” Winter said.

“Whoa! That kind of technology feels like it came out of a comic book! I would love to see some of his other technology!” Whitley said. He’s been wanting to see what it would be like to have technology that people say is impossible.

“If you’d like, I can show you some in the future,” Jaune said.

“Why not now?” Whitley asked.

“Unfortunately, as much as I would like to show them, I don’t have much time to waste as I have more people to bring back to Beacon. But if you want, I can bring you to Beacon with Weiss and Winter, and they can show you around my base. How would you like that?” Jaune said.

“That would be awesome! Mom, do you mind if I go with Weiss and Winter to Beacon?” Whitley said, he then turned around to his mother and asked.

“I don’t mind. But would it be okay if I join in?” Willow said.

“I don’t mind at all,” Jaune said.

With that, Jaune, Blake and Ahri waited for the Schnee family to finish their packing. Winter needed many clothes as she would be living in the teacher’s quarter at Beacon, or she can stay at Jaune’s base just like Glynda. After a few hours of waiting, the Schnee family completed their packing. And they had a lot of stuff.

“Here, use this….” Jaune said while handing Winter a DynoCap. Winter then looked at it and didn’t know what I was and how to use it.

“What is it?” Winter asked.

“It’s a DynoCap. You click the buŧŧon on top, then you throw it at the object that you want to store into it,” Jaune said.

Winter did what he said, and she was amazed at the technology. Once again, it is another technology that is bigger on the inside than the outside.

“Okay…How many more tech do you have that’s bigger on the inside than the outside?” Winter asked.

“A lot. I mean, it is a useful technology. Can you imagine not needing to remove some stuff just because you have limited space? With this tech, you don’t have to, since it would be able to accommodate everything you need,” Jaune said.

“That’s true. But won’t organising it be a pain since you would have a lot of things on it?” Winter asked.

“Yes, it would. But with a bit of tweaking, I was able to create a hologram of everything inside the DynoCap. It would be able to organise the items inside and use a search feature to look for the item that you need to take out,” Jaune said although he said that. He knew that it was a lesser version of the A.I. on his and the others nanite suits.

“Now, before we head back to Beacon, I need to head to Mantle,” Jaune said.

“Yeah. I need to pick up Penny just like you guys,” Jaune said.

“Are you talking about Penny Polendina? The first-ever Synthetic human,” Willow asked.

“Mom? How did you know that?” Winter asked.

“Oh, please. Ironwood isn’t that good at keeping secrets. He may have been able to trick the Council of Atlas, but his methods won’t work on me. After all, my dad taught me how to spot lies. I just wished that I used his teaching on Jacques.. I guess the saying that love makes you blind is true,” Willow said.
