Patterns [RWBY X DEMON SLAYER]

The Teacher

"Keep up old man!" Bell rushed forward into the hoard of Grimm with zero hesitation. His swords flashing under the moonlight.

"This kid will be the death of me."

"What part of quiet do you not understand!" Qrow reluctantly reached for his own sword, but stopped.

"He got himself into this, he can get himself out."

Black limbs and roars filled the air as the swordsman tore through the abandoned town. The child laughed as he indulged himself. Jumping into the air, he cut through an Ursa with a single swing. "Come on! That all you got?!" a chilling smile crept onto his face. The remaining Grimm refused to push forward, they broke off into a full retreat as the ground started to shake.

Massive figure exploded from underneath the town. Kicking up a massive cloud of dust and masking its appearance, two pairs of bright red eyes gleaming through the smoke. In a flash, the Grimm revealed itself, a King Taijitu. It lunged forward, both heads aiming to swallow Bell whole. A well timed jump sent him above the attack, landing on the back of the creature. "Slice 'n' Dice!" multiple diagonal slashes carved their way into the scaly body of the Grimm. The monster let out a pained scream.

" 'Just keep breathing and there's nothing you can't cut through.' "

The teen smirked, letting another powerful breath fill his lungs. In a impressive display of flexibility he dodged the snake's black head turning around trying to slam into him with a backflip. The muscles in his legs tensed. Bell exploded forwards, his arms pulled backwards like springs. As he approached the black head he announced the name of another one of his attacks, "Pierce!" both of his blades were thrusted through the eyes of the monster, black ooze shooting out with the force of a firehose.

The snake shook its heads in a wild fashion and expressed a massive amount of pain. Bell's hands were suddenly wrenched from his weapon "Shit." Wind whipped past his face as he flailed through the air. "Qrow! Catch me!" the teen yelled out in desperation.

"We came here to do a routine check up." the crow finally decided to step in. "Not draw the attention of every Grimm within Mt. Glenn. Next time listen to instructions or I'll turn you in right now. I'm the only thing keeping you out of jail." he chided the child, clearly pissed off.

With a grunt he leapt into the air, saving Bell with ease. "Now what do you say?" Qrow asked in a mocking tone. "My swords are still stuck in the Grimm." he replied.

Said Grimm let out an ear piercing screech, the beast attacking everything around it in a rage. The veteran huntsman switched his sword into a scythe "Just stand back and watch me work. Try not to get hit with any stray debris. You don't have aura after all." he spun his weapon around like it lighter than a feather.

Bell huffed "Show off."

The duo sat around as the surrounding Grimm started to dissolve. "That could've been much worse. You're lucky that stunt of yours didn't get you killed." Qrow sheathed his weapon on his back as he surveyed the area.

Bell scoffed "Isn't the whole point of huntsmen to kill Grimm?! I'm just practicing for my future role as the Hunter King!"

Qrow resisted the urge to facepalm "There is no 'Hunter King'. What the hell are you jabbering on about?"

The teenager gave him a toothy smile "Then I'll just have to become the first by beating up all the other huntsmen and proving I'm the strongest!" he answered with a hearty laugh.

"All he ever talks about is strength and fighting. Reminds me of a certain someone..."

Qrow couldn't help but smirk and start laughing along with him "First you'll have to beat me."
