Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 53

~Remnant-II~

I was watching the others meeting their counterpart. Ruby and Rose were using their semblance to see who would be better. Although Rose was two years older, thanks to [Blessing of Eldoria] and the fact that Ruby has been fighting beings far stronger than Grimm has given her an edge.

Not too far away was Yang and Xiao Long. The two were having arm wrestling. I could tell Xiao Long was planning something, but Yang could easily beat her before initiating whatever she was planning. Huh? I have an increased perception, but only now did I notice Xiao Long has a prosthetic arm. I should ask her if she wants to have her original arm. Damn! I can't believe I was stupid for not noticing that when I helped Fria.

Sighing, I saw Weiss and Schnee talking. I heard some of the things they were talking about. "I never thought there would be a version of me dating Jaune. And this is during Beacon Academy."

I saw Weiss giggling. "Believe me, I did not appreciate Jaune initially since he had a terrible first impression. But, although he was excessively annoying with his courting, I liked that he would always be there when Ruby wanted to vent after we argued. He would even give her some good advice."

Schnee sighed. "Maybe first impressions aren't everything."

Weiss smiled. "No, they are not. Weirdly enough, I also had a bad impression of Ruby, but I got over it in a few days. To Jaune, however, I couldn't get the first impression out of my mind, at least before he beat up Neptune. Even though I was harsh and cruel to him, he still beat up Neptune for me. This, after he gave up courting me."

Shaking my head, my sight was now on Blake and Belladonna. The duo were...reading? Really! They are reading that now! In the open! Well, they're pretty bold. I heard them talking, which made me blush. "Oh! I love that position. Look! When the time comes, I will ensure I do it with Jaune this way! It's so racey and spicy! And to make it more exciting, I plan to have some whip action."

I saw one of them gasp at such a great idea. "That's quite exciting! Hmm...Hey, what if we add our Shadow Clone? Wouldn't that add a bit of flare? Like he would be doing it with a twin!"

The other nodded. "Great! I'll do that! I can't believe I never thought of using my semblance that way. It's such a great idea."

I shook my head. Looking at Pyrrha and Nikos, it was pretty weird since...well, one of them died, and the other's destiny was to die. Not anymore, it's not! I know the moment I got the Dreamscape, my destiny and those around me changed, but with such knowledge, I will strive even more to ensure I never reach such a conclusion.

The weirdest of interactions must be between Lei and Ren. Lei might be shy at times, but she was quite bold and daring at times. It made her cute! Especially that finger tapping she does with her index finger. However, Ren is relatively subdued. He was suppressing his emotions more than necessary. This isn't a good idea. I hope Lei can help him be more open about his feelings, especially when the only people you can trust are those you are closest with.

As for Nora? She was bouncing around with Valkyrie before hiding somewhere. I think they are plotting something. This is giving me the chills just thinking about it. Hmm...Nora was already planning something with Amber and, now, with Valkyrie. I hope nothing terrible happens when her plot comes into play, whatever it may be.

Shrugging my shoulder, I looked at Qrow and Amber. The man was sobbing and apologizing. It seems like Qrow was meant to protect her during her travels, but because of some issue, he failed, and half the Maiden's power was stolen, putting Amber in a coma.

I sneered as I looked into a corner where Cinder was being kept a prisoner. This bitch is quite resilient. Something in my mind is telling me I should kill her, but a part of me is saying death is a release for her. Right now, she was looking at me with a look that said she would kill me when she got out. One problem with that. The corner she was in was riddled with barrier magic to prevent people from approaching and ensure she had no way out. The only possible way is if the magic powering the barrier is depleted or destroyed.
