Arc Of Embodiment - Chapter 46

As soon as Ruby entered her room in the base, she was met with curious stares from her team and friends. Ruby at first was unsettled by the stares but upon further look, she realised that they were dying to know how the date went.

“So? How did it go?” Yang asked teasingly. She was sure that Ruby would have done something Ruby-esque during the date or nearing the end of the date, but she also knew that Jaune wouldn’t care about it, in fact, she was sure Jaune would enjoy it since it is the essence of Ruby.

“I don’t know what word to describe it,” Ruby said while trying to figure out how to describe the date.

“Would you say that it was…Sensational!” Penny said with a massive smile on her face.

“That’s the word I was looking for!” Ruby said while nodding her head.

“So? Where did Jaune bring you? And can you share some details?” Weiss asked.

“Jaune told me that he could not find a suitable world for us to enjoy on our first date, so instead he brought me inside something he called the Gate of Babylon,” Ruby said with a huge smile while remembering her time with all the weapons and Jaune, such as enjoyed being fed cookies by Jaune.

“What is Gate of Babylon?” Blake asked.

“Heaven! You guys should have seen it, it was beautiful, nay, a Paradise,” Ruby said with her eyes sparkling. The girls were going to ask her for details but Ruby continued without them prompting her.

“All the weapons that my hard dėsɨrės! It was truly paradise for me! You should have seen it, unique weapons that I’ve never seen before, weapons that I’ve never thought of before, weapons that I thought are only fantasy, they’re all inside the Gate of Babylon,” Ruby said while she continued to list out more of the weapons inside GoB.

This caused everyone to ignore her words for a little bit since they know how long Ruby could continue talking on and on about weapons, but Ruby did not talk about the weapon that long, just about a minute before she started telling everyone how Jaune made her some cookies, how Jaune fed her food, how Jaune loved enjoyed watching her beautiful eyes sparkle while talking about weapons. All that was missed by everyone but Penny and Pyrrha as they were taking note of every word Ruby said.

“Anyways. I’m tired. Goodnight guys!” Ruby said before heading to her bed and immediately falling asleep. This caught them all off guard since they were sure that Ruby wouldn’t have only talked about weapons, would she?

“Hah? Did any of you guys listen to anything that Ruby talked about?” Yang asked.

“I-I…I didn’t. I may have drowned out the sound when she started talking about weapons,” Weiss said.

“Same…” Blake and Yang said at the same time.

“Uhm…If you like, you can see the notes that Penny and I made of everything that she talked about,” Pyrrha said.

“It’s not all about weapons, is it?” Yang asked.

“Ruby didn’t talk about weapons all that much. She talked mostly about how Jaune found her eyes beautiful, how Jaune fed her some food when they were hungry or how she initiated a kiss with Jaune and other things they did inside the Gate of Babylon,” Pyrrha explained.

“Are you telling us that we missed out on the detail because we thought that she was going to talk about weapons?” Weiss asked and Pyrrha and Penny nodded.

For the next hour, Pyrrha and Penny told them all the details that Ruby gave out, they became excited to have the date that Jaune believes is perfect for them just like Ruby’s.

The next morning, Jaune was in his office making the Penance Stare of Ghost Rider into a skull necklace that he can use against Jacques, this power needed a lot of magical energy, but he had enough to not go over his limit.

Jaune also made some changes to the Penance Stare, the people who looks into the eyes of the skull would be locked into their mind while feeling all the pain they inflicted on the innocent over and over again for a very long time without death as a relief. Lastly, Jaune made sure that the less guilt they felt after harming the innocent, the more pain they’ll feel.

“I guess this should do it. I wonder who I can test it on? Hmm? I wonder if this would work against Thanos? After all, Mantis ability to put him to sleep bȧrėly worked,” Jaune said to himself. ‘I’ll never know unless I try, right?’ Jaune thought.

“Pfft! I’ll try it in the future, for now, I want to try and help Weiss’ family get rid of Jacques,” Jaune said to himself. ‘Hmm? I guess I can also help the SDC once Jacques is gone, I hope Weiss loves the suit that I’ll make that would be useful for mining,’ Jaune thought. He then looked at his clock to realise that he was about to be late for his class.

During the class, Jaune was observing Glynda as she demonstrates how to avoid collateral damage while fighting in a close and crowded area, it was then that Jaune realised that Glynda was not using her semblance to its full potential.

Jaune saw that Glynda just used it to grab and hurl objects at her opponent. Jaune did praise her in his heart at her usage to repair the damage of buildings with her semblance by subconsciously using her telekinesis at a molecular level without her realising.

While watching Glynda, Jaune has started to make plans to help Glynda push her telekinesis to the next level. He plans to help her achieve feats such as Telekinetic Aura, Telekinetic Flight, Telekinetic Construct, etc…
