Chapter 111 - Calm Before Storm

Half of day later after the fight between Yang and Mercury, the blonde girl has returned to dorms.

The only thing on her mind was how she messed it up!

She was warned that there is a girl who can cast Hallucination, yet she still has fallen for that!

At this point she very pissed off at her semblance, it increases her durability and strength for expanse of her reason...

As she was mopping in her room she heard a knock on doors.

"Yes?" She asked with an annoyed look.

"It's me, I think it's a good time for me to teach you some stuff instead of mopping around in your dorms." Yang heard a familiar voice of fellow blond.

"I AM NOT MOPPING AROUND!" Blonde jumped down from her bed and strolled to the doors and opened them.

She looked with narrowed eyes at the guy.

"...You do realise that I am under 'house arrest'? that means I can't leave my dorms unless I have to get some food, you idiot." She said with a huff.

"Or... you are supervised by someone." the blonde showed his newly acquired scroll where it says...

"You... how in twins you became an... Atlas specialist!?" Blonde girl asked with shell shocked look.

"Well, I only needed to beat most of Specialist General had with him and then he made me 'honorary' specialist..." He said with shrug.

"Still... most important thing right now is that you can move around in Beacon with me around you." He motioned her to come with him.

"That means we can go and train, there is something I want to teach you anyway..." Yang nodded with gulp there was heartthrob the moment she realised something...

~~~

Minutes later, both blondes were standing in the training area, it was a large and spacious arena, close to this arena there is a fully equipped gym, Beacon has not held back to have best available equipment for its huntsmen in training.

"So, what are we going to do?" Yang asked curiously, she had her brawling gauntlets ready.

"I am going to help you to master your Semblance," Arno answered her question.

"...and how you going to do help me do that?" Yang asked curiously, her semblance is by all means and purposes ability to go Berserk...

"Very easy, you are going to attack me, besides you need to lose weight." Arno 'poked' her.

And Yang almost snapped at him, but she took a deep breath to calm down.

"I am not going to fall for this for the third time!" Yang said that while her eye colours already turned red, she was very close to snapping.

"Heh... not bad, but I need you snap, so attack me Yang with everything you got." Arno ċȯċkily motioned to attack him.

Hearing that the blonde girl's hair came to life it looked like it was on fire.

"You want to get pummeled? FINE BY ME!!!" Yang furiously charged at the blonde with intention to cave in his skull.

Only this time he casually caught her incoming fist, the blonde girl's eyes widened in shock as next moment he pulled her in, and flipped over smashing into the ground.

"Try again..." He casually spoke to her, his tone grated her nerves, Yang quickly got back on her feet as she tried again to punch him, but each time he would easily catch or redirect incoming fist.

Making her more and more pissed...

This whole thing lasted until she got tired and could not fight anymore.

"WHY! I! CAN'T! HIT! YOU!" She said while breathing heavily, her punches became extremely sloppy to point that it started to look amusing.

Arno caught her last punch and pushed her back, Yang lost balance and landed on her ȧss, next moment she was laying on the ground on her back.

She finally got her reason back and realise that before this guy allowed her to have her way with him! as in truth he was way too strong!

"The problem with your semblance is that you allowing it to take over, you can either focus it, or channel it, something like cold anger," Arno said to Yang, he was not even winded, and it grated Yang's nerves, before this, only Pyrrha was stronger! yet now in front of her was a guy much more powerful than her and it was annoying!

"Right, you had your five-minute break now stand up and let's continue." Arno casually motioned for her to stand up, and Yang gnashed her teeth and got up.

Arno then did a hand motioned and a green pill appeared in his hand he then casually threw it at her.

Yang with confused look caught it.

"This is energy pill, something mundane like being tired will not going to stop us from allowing you to master your Semblance."

Hearing what it was, made Yang look at him like he is some sort of monster, what kind of training did this blonde went through!?

The Blonde girl snapped out from another shock and gulped down the pill, it tasted like a mix of herbs, the moment pill landed in her stomach, Yang 'exploded' with energy.

"D-Damn! what kind of drug is this!?" The blonde girl checked herself out she felt like she got a mug of coffee with energy drink on top of that!

"Drug? It's a pill martial artist usually carry with them, Raynor's sect has whole branch dedicated to support, pill creation is part of that." Arno purposely decided not to mention that, what Yang just consumed is very expensive stuff made my Li Suo herself...

She got pure energy revitalisation without any side effects...

"Sect? like in Mistralian Martial arts stories?" Yang asked with slighly confused look.

"Hmm... don't know about Mistralian stuff, but it has people dressed in specific clothes, constantly practising martial arts and making people behave in a specific way and teaching specific techniques..." Arno said few things from the top of his head.

Yang nodded each time he mentioned what is a sect.

"Yep, that what Sects in Mistralian stories are." She confirmed before getting into her fighting stance once again.

Arno nodded, he got slighly interested if Mistralians have their version of Battle Through The Heavens, or Against The Gods...

"Good, That means I don't need to explain."

Yang just snorted for second.

"Just because you are part of some martial arts sect I won't be going easy on you!" Yang charged at him again, this time she was more controlled and focused, Arno instantly noticed that.

Training Berserker normally would be very difficult unless you have someone who can tank the hits, in this case, Arno can easily tank anything the blonde girl can throw at him.

~~~~~~Vale~~~~~~

Since the arrival of Atlas armies, many positions around the defensive wall of Vale was handled by Atlas Knight and few soldiers.

Normally having Atlas Knights standing guard at night time is good, since Robots have night vision as such it's no brainer to have them keeping guard and soldiers at this time usually snooze.

But, this time... at one single moments most of the Atlas Knights simply stopped working and turned off...

Having ex-Atlas scientist help in achieving that, is a huge reason why this invasion is possible, to begin with.

"I can't believe it worked." One of Faunus with Grimm mask said.

"We don't have much time! now go and plant those explosives." Another one said while carrying bags full of dust explosives.

Since Breach has failed and they could not use that incident to get more bullheads they have to find other ways to make Grimm invade...

The easiest way is obviously to make a wall around Vale fall in several locations, and why not when the most important event in Remnant is happening in the city?

With having Atlas Knight disabled they can plant as many bombs as they can where people and robots can't notice them.

Atlas overreliance on robots will be their undoing...

~~~

While White Fang is preparing for the big event, Inside Beacon's guest dorms certain black-haired woman had her face implanted in her scroll, she can't believe General Ironwood create such detailed profile on that specific God! well... more like the teenager God!

What she learned, is mind-boggling her! such power!!!

Pity that he is so set to get that Schnee girl, but even so, this information will help her get her hands on Maiden's Power.

Knowing younger Schnee personality she will move to save Vale citizens, this will make the teenager God to move in to help her, and where he moves his ȧssistant and the bodyguard girl will move with him as well, giving her chance to invade Beacon personally.

But, what she found in Ironwoods scroll made her slighly scared because Atlas already knows their identities and even Emerald's Semblance, this removes incredible amount of breathing space for them.

And Atlas will move to arrest them the moment the 'main event' happens, but even then they have not found ways to block or disable Emerald's semblance...yet.

Even so, what she found about Raynor Valeron intrigued her, Being God of Chaos and Destruction, which General Ironwood constantly mentioned in his scroll...

She wonders if he will appreciate the amount of Chaos she will cause?

After reading as much as possible about the Primordial Dragon God, she read something interesting which will cause even more chaos which will make even more Grimm invade Vale.

"Emerald... I want you to use your Semblance once more..." Cinder said with a feral smirk on her face.

The green-haired girl eyes widened for a moment, ever since she did that trick on that blonde girl she constantly being watching her back, because she has that feeling that she been walking on very thin ice, yet Cinder wants her to do that again?

"Are... you sure?" She asked fearfully.

"Yes..." Cinder purred saying that." You will use it just before the attack starts, it will be on Pyrrha Nikos..." the black-haired woman showed her scroll.

It was schematic of... an Android...

"One of Atlas teams has this, and Pyrrha Nikos semblance can control metal... now imagine what will happen when she... kills this thing in front of whole Remnant?" Cinder's feral smirk only grew when she said that.

Emerald read through what Cinder showed her.

"Pyrrha Nikos Semblance is... Polarity? no wonder she never lost!" Emerald said with disbelieve, but then she nodded at Cinder.

She might... going to survive this after all...

~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~

Weiss finally has mustered courage to answer her father's call...

"Weiss... you finally picket up when you realised that you need money?" Her father arrogantly said from his side.

The Heiress growled, but hold her tongue.

"I allowed you to play your Huntress games, but If you want to access Schnee fortune you will have to return to Atlas." He continue his monologue.

"I will return after Vytal Tournament, my team has made to finals." After saying that Weiss has dropped the call.

Weiss didn't mentioned that she is 'returning' with someone...

~~~

Vytal Coliseum more than ever was alive, less and less participants are remaining, it as if no one remembers what happened with Yang.

Since Arno was not here, he was bonding with the blond girl, Raynor didn't knew what is about to happen...

Long Qing smile when she saw Pyrrha go to middle of the coliseum, she trained the girl a little bit more after, she was still far away from able to use spear intent, but she is close to being one strongest mortal girl in Remnant.

Raynor paid close attention towards Pyrrha's opponent, what he felt from her was one of the weirdest thing he has ever sensed.

She is purely machine yet she has soul?, but then he focused on Pyrrha and realised that the robot girl is fighting her natural enemy...

As the fight has started Pyrrha was on defence, and Raynor realised that is either honour or the red-haired girl doesn't know that her opponent is a robot, as the girl looks very... human.

But, then... Raynor sensed picket up something, one of his major domain is picking something up...

Something big...

What next was Pyrrha screamed for some reason, she blasted the robot girl with her Semblance completely shattering her to pieces...

Seeing an extremely famous person 'kill' someone unleashed one of the biggest chaos in Vale...

What happened next was a bunch of flying Grimm start to invade Coliseum as they sensed negative emotions in the whole stadium!
