Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 56

~Remnant-II~

To say that the beast was dead is an understatement. Due to the [Absolute Armament], its body turned into dust. The body was gone only a few seconds later, and Jaune's stats skyrocketed.

Seeing his stats, Jaune was satisfied but not happy. With this fight, he knew he could do so much more. Some of his skills and abilities were not where he wanted them. It was below his expectations.

Jaune thought for a moment. 'I can do so much more than I've already done. For me and the girls. I need to head to another world to get the [Link] ability. With it, I can help the girls get on my level, and we can all, together, fight the Beast of the Rift.'

Jaune looked at his girls and smiled. He saw on their faces worry and the feeling of being useless. They wanted to help him, but they were too weak, and if they jumped in, they would, no doubt, cause him trouble rather than help.

Ruby watched Jaune the entire time. 'How can I help Jaune against the Beast of the Rift when I couldn't even see what was happening with...whatever that thing was! Am I even cut out to think of myself as someone who can stand by his side?'

Yang had a look of disappointment aimed at herself. 'Thrill, huh? That's what I was after when I wanted to become a Huntress. But Jaune's dream has always been to be a hero like his forefathers. He has always wanted to help people. Even when Cardin was bullying him, in that ass' time of need, Jaune still helped him. What am I doing with my life if I want to seek thrills rather than help people? That feeling has changed thanks to Jaune, but it is still a big part of why I wanted to get stronger.'

Weiss looked at Jaune with heart-shaped eyes. 'Hmmm...That was hot! I know I should be disappointed with myself for not being able to help him, but seeing him show all those moves... makes me excited! Still, I need to work harder to help him the best I can. The way I am now is not enough. When we head to the Dreamscape, I'll train the magic he taught us to the extreme, worthy of the magic circuits he gave us.'

Blake squinted her eyes at Jaune. 'I know Jaune was born human, but why do I feel he is always more comfortable and happier in his Kitsune form? It's almost like it is his natural form. It makes me wonder if there are others like Jaune who want to have Faunus features. Enough thinking about that! I need to focus and find a way to get stronger before thinking unnecessary things! Stay focus! Get stronger first and support Jaune against our adversary before thinking of something that might not be possible.'

Lei and Nora communicated telepathically, even though they did not have telepathy. 'Hey, Nora. Did you see what Jaune did there? ...Yeah! He blocked the attack that was heading our way! ...We need to work harder! We can't be a burden to him. ...I know! Maybe if I can fully master the usage of Magnhild's true powers, then I'll be able to help him. ...Good! As for me, I'm starting to grasp the [Cosmic Breathing], which would allow me to absorb energy from the world and boost my power. ...Well done, Lei!'

Pyrrha watched Jaune as Ruby did. 'This is the Jaune I knew was possible. Even before the Dreamscape, I knew he could accomplish such a feat. But ever since getting the Dreamscape, I saw a potential that is far surpassing his previous potential. Jaune, you truly are amazing. I don't know how everyone could miss it, but I was glad I was the first to see your true potential. Last time, you worked your ass off to be able to reach me, but this time, it's my turn to show you how determined I am to reach you.'
