Cutting the Cards: Ace of Spades X Scissorman Crossover (Collab)

Chapter 5: Infiltration and Backstories

~Ace of Spades's POV~

Luckily, exchange programs for students from other kingdoms were happening around this time, Beacon Academy was our closest form of information right now. I happened to pick it up briefly from a group of huntresses walking through Vale as I made my way to the candy shop where I encountered Scissor-boy. Ergo, infiltration of Beacon once againfor a second time in my life  was not much of a challenge for me, a little barter and a couple of fake IDs and I was within Beacon once more as Ace Thire, alongside The serial killer known as the Scissorman with the oh-so generic name Tad Cutter... what? I was out of ideas.

Though the secondary reason for all this wasn't just to obtain some needed info on this world, but also to attend sparring class at least once, so when I watched the Scissorman in combat, I'd be able to learn some his moves and counter them should he break the alliance prematurely. Therefore our next imminent fight should be held in my grasp, additionally since I now have pinpoint knowledge of his weakness, and soon after the upcoming little spar he... probably even we should have, this should... no, it MUST prove to be Scissorman's ultimate undoing.

Mm, yes. That's right, Scissor-boy... You may outrank me in strength and endurance, but I. ASSURE. YOU! I SURPASS YOU INTELLECTUALLY!

~Scissorman's POV~

I wasn't too keen on following Ace back into Beacon... or... Beacon #2 in this case. Either way, if this is his way of nabbing information. I'd say I would've seen him before.

WE would've have seen him before! We're living beings too! "

"Perhaps, he must've been one aswell? A bit of an outcast, like us?"

"No, we don't have knowledge of him, either that or we don't watch a lot of news. Maybe he's even from a third Remnant!"

"A third one! I'm perceiving this as Remnants of Remnant...!"

"Which Remnant?"

"Ohhh! I love love LOVE multiple choice!"

The voices kept debating, it felt... weird being in Beacon. So many familiarities, faces, hallways... bodies. Yet everything feels different. No Sora, Aaron... Jane... Not even Frost, the memories almost seem as if I had lived through a simulation of life.

Ace: Oy Tad, we should probably get going to the Mistral-designated dorms.

My fake name... Ace really knows how to do things, it seems he has done this before. Nobody I've ever known has gotten into Beacon THIS easily before... Oh wait a minute...

~Timeskip Featuring Chibi Ace of Spades struggling against Chibi Scissorman in an arm wrestle~

In the dormitory assigned to the two boys, along with two other huntsmen, one boy and another girl. The Ace of Spades was already winning go-fish with the girl as the Scissorman entertained himself by playing the Knife game... or in his case... the Scissor-game.

Girl: COME ON ACE! I can't even... Ugh. You were totally cheating back there.

The girl accused, with Ace's card pairs numbering at 24, while the girl in contrast, had a measly 4 pairs of cards. Ace rolled his eyes and sighed in complete disappointment.

Ace: Your requested pairs that I didn't have at the time, I kept in my memory. Once I got what cards you previously requested from me I simply requested for said card. Plus, you kept requesting cards that I didn't have repeatedly, I'm surprised you even got 4 piles. Now please pay up, I beat you at Chess, Checkers, Just Dance AND Go-fish. I happen to remember you betting 120 Lien on that.
