Chapter 39 - 38 - Encounter

Shallot and Ruby were walking through the hallway while Ruby was really close to him and Shallot could smell a scent on her.

Shallot: 'She smells like roses. Very fitting.'

Shallot: "So what do you think about it, my personal weapons expert?"

Ruby was looking at it and started rambling slightly about how something was off-centered and that it would be properly weighted when it transformed its carry mode and taking out the bo staff separation turning it into a charging case was brilliant but would require more gears to counter the weight. Ruby then snapped out of her rambling.

Ruby: "Sorry about rambling like that I just get so excited about weapons."

Shallot: "Well I find your ramblings cute but I also think that majority of things you do is cute."

Ruby blushed while listening to Shallot thinking back to what Blake whispered in her ear.

*Flash Back*

Blake: "Shallot is really big and it fills really good and I'm going to need some help so of you want a guy who can make you happy you should also get with Shallot. I'm ok with you and Yang joining."

*Flash Back End*

Ruby was inching closer to Shallot while walking to one of the rooms in the school that was for weapon building and repairs.

After they got in the room they noticed that no one was there and the worktables seemed to have just been cleaned so someone must have just left and had cleaned up.

Shallot: "So what do we start with first?"

Ruby: "Where are the materials?"

Shallot: "They're still in the room so I'll have to grab them really quick."

Shallot dashed out of the room taking only 15 seconds to make it to the room grabbing the bag with the materials and dashing back.

Shallot: "Alright, I have everything. How should we start building it?"

Ruby started going through the materials in the bag and pulling out everything spreading them onto the table.

Ruby: "We are going to have to smelt the metals down into the right sizes for all of the cogs and wheels for the inside while also working on the blade. We need to make all the smaller parts first and make sure that they are going to fit properly before we get too far into it so we don't waste materials."

Shallot nodded his head.

Shallot: "I'll make sure to smelt done the metals and leave them in the heat."

Shallot started walking towards a cupola furnace so he can start smelting down the metals so he could make the blade that going to swivel.

Shallot and Ruby worked for 3 hours working in the workshop trying to get as much finish as they could with Shallot also standing behind her watching as she was ȧssembling it.

Shallot: "Well look at that I have my own personal weapon master to help me build my scythe."

Ruby started blushing since she could feel his breath on her neck from him being so close.

Ruby: "It's what I love to do and I like the way that your blueprint is for the scythe. I had never seen someone uses a scythe-like this that would change into a bow instead of a gun."

Shallot: "It also seems that everyone and their cousin can block bullets so why even bother with a gun. It would just be better to make sure that I have something that I could use for combat and be more effective and beside it would look cool."

Ruby: "But the bullets are made for the Grimm since dust is effective against them."

Shallot wrapped his arms around Ruby and pulled her into his ċhėst.

Shallot: "Don't you think that it is about time for us to get back to the dorm since some hours have passed? We can finish working on it tomorrow."

Ruby's face was tomato red and she just nodded her head.

Ruby: "Hmn."

Shallot and Ruby left heading back to the dorm and while they were walking Ruby was walking right next to him. Shallot reached over grabbing her hand causing Ruby to jump a little but she didn't pull away.

Shallot and Ruby made it back to the dorm room and when she was about to walk inside she remembered that her board game was in the library with Yang and Weiss and hopefully they had brought it back to the room.

Ruby walked in with Shallot seeing Blake sitting on the bed reading a book with Weiss over to the side looking through some textbooks doing homework while Yang was flipping through a magazine with one leg hanging off of the bed.

After the door was opened Blake looked over when Ruby let go of Shallot's hand and walked in.

Ruby: "Did you all grab the board in the library?"

Yang: "Yeah we got it but I think we left a couple of pieces so we might need to grab some of them."

Shallot: "I can go back and look for whatever was left since you have the board and Ruby is probably tired from helping me in the workshop."

Shallot placed the pre-made pieces into the corner of the room with the other materials and walked back out of the room closing the door.

When Shallot turned to the right he saw Mercury, Emerald, and Cinder. The smile on his face was growing wider seeing them.

Shallot: 'Well look at that. The sheep have delivered themselves to the wolf themselves. Cinder doesn't have complete control over the maidens abilities so she isn't that much of a threat currently.'

Shallot: "Well hello there ladies and halfling."

Emerald: "Halfling?"

Shallot pointed towards Mercury.

Shallot: "I was talking about tink-tink over there since he is only a little more than half of his body. Below the knees is a no go after all. Maybe the name Legaless would be more fitting."

Shallot: "So the dog has a trainer, I'm impressed."

Cinder: "We are students from Vacuo here for the Vital Festival. Is it a need to antagonize others after only just meeting them?"

Shallot: "Do you really wish to play the word game? I rather get straight to business Cinder. I'm pretty sure Emerald there has told you the message I had said to give you about this being my area. I also told her to tell you to come work under me. I will treat you with enough care that even a dog owner will have to step up their game."

Cinder eye twitched at that.

Cinder: "So you know who I am but still act like this around me? You must not know what I'm capable of?"

Shallot: "Please your little lighter can't do anything to someone of my caliber. There is a good thing to have confidence but to let that lead to bravado will only lead you to your downfall."

Cinder's eyes started to glow and markings started appearing on her arm while looking at Shallot while Shallot activated his semblance and cranked it to time 8 forcing Mercury and Emerald to the ground making it hard for them to breath while Emerald was having difficulties moving.

Shallot seeing that Cinder was still standing starts clapping his hands without any strain on himself.

Shallot: "Well look at that. You can almost prove a worthy distraction without me getting serious. You might just be enjoyable after all. I'm going to enjoy breaking your will and making you three serve me."

Shallot: "Well, you should also get on your way. I'm pretty sure that you know where the guest dorms are. Just head out to your left and keep walking until you see a building with a similar model to this one. Tata."

Shallot: 'Part 2 of plan takeover was a success now let's see how far can I push these events and find out whether there is plot armor or a world will currently active if not then part 3 and 4 can be put into motion.'

Shallot went to the library and found a couple of pieces to the game underneath the table the was missed. He grabbed them putting them in his pockets before heading back to the dorms.
