Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 41

~A week later~

Jaune inhaled the air of Remnant. It has been over a month since he was back. Rather than returning to the dormitory, he decided to open a door in Vale to show the others the city and introduce it.

Jaune said, "Welcome to Vale, a bustling metropolis nestled in the heart of the world of Remnant."

As the sun gently rises over the horizon, its warm rays dance upon the myriad facets of Vale's towering buildings, casting a golden glow that seems to breathe life into the city.

He added, "Vale stands as a testament to the resilience of humanity against the encroaching darkness that looms just beyond its borders. Its colossal walls, a fusion of intricate architecture and formidable engineering, encircle the city like a guardian's embrace, offering protection from the ever-present threat of the Grimm."

Upon arriving in the city, they're immediately swept into a vibrant tapestry of cultures, each thread interwoven to create a rich and diverse fabric that makes up Vale's essence. The hum of life is a constant symphony, echoing through the streets as people from all walks of life traverse the avenues. Students clad in uniforms from the prestigious Beacon Academy stride purposefully, their eyes reflecting a mix of determination and youthful curiosity. Business people in sharp suits and dresses glide seamlessly through the throngs, their steps a rhythmic beat that adds to the city's vibrant pulse.

Jaune smiled and looked at the group that came back with them. There were Hephaestus, Hestia, and Loki, the Goddesses. Then comes Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Amber, Pyrrha, Nora, and Lei. That was all well and good, but there was an extra person with them. It was quite a short person.

She has a petite body with chestnut-colored hair and eyes, wearing a red and white hooded top that exposes her midriff, which used to be torn, and a red skirt that she chooses to leave unbuttoned. She also wears long-hand gloves, black tights, and light brown boots.

This girl was the supporter that Ruby and the others hired, but after knowing her situation, they decided to adopt her into the Familia. After learning about her situation, Jaune gladly paid for her release from the Soma Familia. Not once hesitating to give her a helping hand.

Many would ask, 'Why was she here with them on Remnant?'

The answer is complicated...Well, not really. Ruby and the others saw her as adorable. The way she looked and spoke, it all pointed to a little sister of the group. Not to be cruel, but Jaune wanted to leave her on Orario, but the others pleaded with him to let her come with them to Remnant to give her a new environment to start over.

Jaune said to the people that have never been on Remnant, "Come on! Let's show you places you wouldn't find in Orario. First stop! The arcade!"

The Goddesses and Lili asked, "The arcade? What's that?"

Jaune replied, "It is a place to play games. But they are games unlike anything Orario has ever seen. It's fun, trust me! I used to go here all the time when I was younger."

With excitement, Ruby said, "Oh! Can we play the shooting game? It's my favorite! Or the game where you get to assemble Mechashift! My fastest time is one minute for weapons I have never seen before, and thirty seconds for the weapons I'm familiar with."

Similarly to Ruby, Yang said, "I'm in! I haven't played fighting games in an arcade for a long time. I got used to playing with my scroll. I wonder if I'm still as good with traditional controls?"

For Weiss, she said, "This is a new experience for me. I've never been to an arcade. If my father ever got wind of me playing games, he would go ballistic, saying, 'The elite do not play games! We are above people that waste their time on such trivial things!' Well, father! I want to experience these trivial things too!"
