It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The sky was a bright blue, the clouds were a soft and fluffy white and the birds were singing their song. Yes, today was going to be a great day…

"AHHHHH!! MY DESK IS ON FIRE AGAIN!!!" The keyword 'was'. I aimed the fire extinguisher towards my desk and fired the foam onto it, dousing the flame that burned my desk… again. When I was finished I looked upon the ruined desk that soon crumbled to ash and burnt wood. I sighed at this as I set the extinguisher down as Amaran opened all the windows to let the smoke out.

"That's the fifth extinguisher we went through in the past twenty-four hours. I would say that's impressive but… I don't want to jinx it." Umbra said as she helped Amaran out with the windows. She wasn't kidding, the past few days have been weird for me as things in our dorm room were spontaneously catching on fire. At first, I thought it was Amber doing this but that wasn't the case as it happened again without her being nearby, AND IT'S HAPPENING AROUND ME!!!

"Do you two think these are recyclable?" Amaran asked as she opened the door to a closet full of empty fire extinguishers.

"I believe so, there's a place in the city." Umbra informs our Bull Faunus teammate. I sighed a bit as I looked at my ruined new desk.

"Guess I have to go desk hunting… again." I said, somewhat annoyed about this. The school did get me a few new desks but after repeated times that this happened they stopped, thinking that I was doing this on purpose. I'm not doing this on purpose!!

I sighed at this before bidding the other two as they went out to do some shopping. I looked around at the place, the smell of burnt wood hangs in the air which drove me to do the most logical thing to do; go find Mavis.

I exited my dorm room and wander the halls in search of Mavis. As I did my nose started to itch and I feel a sneeze coming on but for some reason, I couldn’t be able to sneeze. Ugh, this is going to be annoying.

After going all over the school in a mad search for my teammate, but really it only took five minutes, I found Mavis outside with Amber. The two were sitting under a tree as they watch Amber’s pups play with each other. Even though I’m slightly annoyed with everything that’s happening with me, the sight of the pups playing brought a smile on my face. Mavis noticed me walking over and gave me a wave, Amber raising her head to greet me with a tail wag.

"Hey Viri." Mavis greeted me with a smile before arching a brow and adding. "You seem on edge. What's up?" She asked me.

"My desk was burnt to ash… again." I answered her which made Amber snort a bit. "And I said I was sorry!" This caused Amber to rest her head down onto the grass. I sighed a bit before feeling my nose itch a bit.

"And? Have you thought not to control your semblance when it flares up?" She asked me with an arched brow soon after I scratched my nose a bit.

“I’ve tried but when it happens it just… happens. Oh, lords am I losing control of my own semblance?!” I cried out, a wave of worry washed over me. I was soon brought out of my thoughts by Amber as she came over and headbutted my leg a bit, her way of saying ‘Calm down.’ “Ahh… thanks, Amber.” I said to her, kneeling down and scratching behind her ear.

"You aren't losing control of your semblance, Viri. If you were the academy would be engulfed in flames by now." Mavis said to me simply which made me blink at her bluntness.

“Ah… that’s terrifying.” I said the image of a burning Beacon comes to mind as I said that. “If that’s the case… what’s happening?” I asked her, scratching my nose some more. As I said this I heard some barks from behind me. I turned and saw all the puppies bounce over towards Rose who was kneeling down and happily playing with them.

"Well if it's not the lack of control, there's only one other thing it could be." Mavis said to me before looking over to Rose, leaving me in suspense as she greeted Rose. "Hey, Rose."

"Hey hey." Rose greeted us all the puppies were happily playing around her feet. One of them was gnawing on one of her boots but Rose didn't seem to mind that much. "What's up?" She asked us as I felt the urge to sneeze grow stronger.

"Ugh, Mavis are you going to say what you're going to say? Leaving me hanging with the answer is a bit annoying." I said to Mavis, sounding somewhat childish. Rose arch a brow at this.

"What's going on?" Rose asked the both of us as she picked up a puppy.

"Viri here is having some troubles." Mavis said back to her with a held back laugh. I frowned at this, she was about to say something but was not saying it!! And Ahhhh! My nose!

"Does it have to do with the fires?" Rose asked as I close my eyes and shake my head. This held back sneeze is bugging me!!

"Yes actually." Mavis said before snapping her fingers, although nothing seemed to happen as far as I knew. "Viri, you're experiencing, what you would normally call, second puberty." Mavis said to me and while Rose, after letting the puppy go, keeled over in laughter she continued. "Which is, in turn, a result of your divine heritage." She said to me informatively through Rose's laughter.

"Huh… what you…" I couldn't finish my words as the held back sneeze was becoming too unbearable to finish as the sneeze going to happen soon.

"Oh wow, that's too funny!" Rose laughed before looking up and seeing my state. "Uhhh, okay… why do you look like you're about to-"

"AHHHHHHHCHOOOO!" I sneezed so hard there was some backlash as a pillar of fire erupted from me and shot straight into the sky. This lasted for about a minute before dying down and I fell forward, now sore for some reason. But hey, I don't feel the sneeze anymore.

"Oh dear." I heard Mavis say as I soon felt the pups lick the side of my face. I smiled a little as I slowly pushed myself up, seeing the pups climb onto me.

"Jeez… I heard of explosive sneezes, but that's kinda pushing it." Rose said before she looked up at me and her eyes widen. "Uhhh…"

"What? What's wrong?" I asked her as she pointed at me… well not at me but around me.

"Tail…" she said in awe which I frown a little. Of course, I have a tail, why is that so- "second… tail." Rose added… wait what?

I looked back over my shoulder to see my tail was there but when I looked over my shoulder I saw… a second tail.

"What the hell!?!" I yelled, seeing that I didn't have one tail but two. Dos, one more than the usual. Two tails! What's next? Am I going to turn yellow and be able to fly? Why two tails!?

"Will you calm down, Viri. You're overreacting." Mavis said to me as, despite my freakout, the pups hung onto me. I wanted to yell at her at the idea of calming down was crazy but I bit my lip to hold back my yell. There was a groan from nearby as Rose pushed herself upwards.

“Is that a thing I should be worried about? Every time you sneeze fire explodes outwards?” Rose asked, checking to see she was burnt or burning, which luckily she wasn’t.

"No, Rose. I doubt the next outburst would be as violent as the first one." Mavis said to her before continuing. "And there will be significantly fewer fires from now on as long as she doesn't hold back the surges." Mavis added which only added on to my confusion and when I was about to yell at her to start making sense, one of the pups poked its head into view from above, it laying atop my head.

“Surges… you say that as if there’s going to be more of them…” Rose said as I giggled a little at the puppy on top of my head. Amber came over and sat beside me as her pups returned to happily playing around as if what just happened never happened.

"Yes, there's more." Mavis said back to Rose with a roll of her eyes as one of the pups was in her arms as she hugged and petted it. She must've picked one up at some point.

“And they’re not going to be as… explosive, as this one?” Rose asked, glancing back at me before backing at Mavis who rolled her eyes at this.

"I just said that they weren't going to be as violent. Have you not been paying attention?" Mavis asked back, sounding a little annoyed at Rose.

“Sorry, still getting over the fact that I was a foot away from a fire pillar explosion, my nerves are, at the moment, shot right now.” Rose said as she tried to clean one of her ears out. I watched the two glare at each other for a moment before I decided to speak up.

“Umm… just wondering, is there something else different about me other than the second tail?” I asked Mavis, getting her attention away from Rose. "What's this about Divine Heritage?" I also asked.

"You're part goddess." Mavis said bluntly as she looked at me, idly petting the puppy in her arms who seemed to relish in the affection. Me and Rose stared at her as my brain trying to connect the dots.

"She's… part goddess?" Rose asked Mavis before adding. "Uhh… goddess of fire since… you know." Rose didn't finish as she believed she got her thoughts across.

"Yes she's part goddess and no not goddess of fire. That bit has yet to be decided." Mavis said all the while I took a while to finally realize the gravity of this revelation.

“I’m part goddess… and no one ever thought of telling me?!” I asked loudly before continuing on with equal outrage. "Like, really!? This is a pretty big thing to keep from me!"

"No one else knew but me, Viri." Mavis said to me simply with a straight face. "Your mother didn't think you'd had inherited the divine heritage." She added as she continued to play with the pup before soon putting it down as Sylph, who I never noticed was here, took the pups place in Mavis' arms. The pup in question looked up at Mavis sadly then it turned into confusion when the pup saw Sylph there, then turned into playfulness as the pup chased after a falling leaf.

“Wait… mama is also a goddess?” I asked Mavis, as the image of my mama in her workshop tinkering away would also a goddess herself filled my mind. She gave a sort of 'eh' hand gesture.

"More so than you, yes. She is half Divine, half-mortal. Your grandfather at the time being mortal himself." Mavis said and my mind went nope when she said at the time. "You are more… A quarter or so divine." She added though I didn't care much for the specifics as it didn't change the fact that I'm part, Divine. "Need me to explain the specifics?" She asked me as she saw my confused look. I would've answered yes but I knew if I did it would only lead to a headache.

“No… no I’m good.” I answered her as Mavis chuckled at this as she held Sylph in her arms.

“I’m with Viri with this one.” Rose said as she scratching her head, maybe trying to figure it out on her own and got a headache. “Let’s just wing it and see what happens.”

“I don’t know about it just… winging it.” I said to her in an uncertain tone which Rose simply shrugged back at.

"Anywho, you're free to return to your dorm, Viri. You won't be setting things on fire at random anymore… until the next surge but we'll cross that bridge when we get there." Mavis said to me and it got Rose to look back at Mavis, extremely worried now that. "Oh don't look at me like that, it'll be fine." Mavis was quick to say.

“Right… anyway, I’m going to head out now.” Rose said as she turns on her heel and walked off.

“Where are you going?” I asked her as I stood up.

“Gym! Going to spar against some new blood!” Rose said before disappearing behind a wall.

"And what will you be doing?" Mavis soon asked me with an arched brow. I looked back at Mavis and thought about it.

“Umm… I don’t know…” I said to her as I thought about it. I didn’t have anything planned today. The fires that happened in the past few days stressed me out but now… I didn’t have anything to do. Mavis arched a brow at this as she petted Sylph in her arms, the small frost fox let out some happy sounds from this that made her smile.

"Then head back to your dorm or hang out with your friends. Or you start doing that homework you've been piling up." She said to me with an arched brow though I don't know why is acting this way as if she hasn't been doing the same. I would’ve argued with her but at the moment, I didn’t really feel like it.

“Alright… thanks.” I said to her before I left Mavis with Amber and the pups. Walking down the hallway I saw the other students carry on with their day as if everything is normal and when they saw me I expected them to be shocked at the fact that I have two tails, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, they greeted me normally, not shocked or surprised that I have two tails… that was odd.

As I was walking I noticed a group of students gathering nearby and as I grew closer I saw that they were watching something. Getting a bit closer to see what they were watching I saw that it was a match… odd, I thought there wasn’t a match happening?

The match in question was a one on one match to see who goes to the finals. On one side was some guy that I never met before getting tossed around by a female Faunus with a hammer. Like really, getting tossed around all over the place.

The Faunus in question was a tall, buff woman with fair skin and long black hair. She held her hammer with one hand and when I got a better view of it.. it looked like a hammer. Nothing else, just a plain hammer.

"I mean… what ain't broke." I muttered to myself as the woman knocked her opponent out of bounds and won the match.

"Man, she's terrifying." I heard someone said around me.

"Yeah, plus with the other three are one hell of a team too." Another added in awe.

"Who knew Atlas had such a badass team." A third chimed in as I heard more people talk about it… the problem to me though is that I don't remember such a team. I rack my mind for anything about a team from Atlas but came up with nothing. Where did they come from?

It wasn't long before everyone left and I was standing in the hall by myself. Seeing that I didn't want to be a roadblock I walked down the halls deep in thought. Should I find Mavis and ask her about this… no, she would just say I wasn't paying attention to the tournament.

As I was walking in thought, those thoughts came to a halt when I bumped into someone… and fell over.

"Ah!" I yelped as I fell, who or what did I walk into?! I looked up and saw… the same woman from the match- no wait, there's a difference. Same to the other woman, she had fair skin and long black hair and those are the similarities, she wasn't as buff than the other lady and maybe a tad shorter. I also saw some small horns coming out of her head.

"Need some help, cutie?" I heard her ask me, giggling down at me as she offered a hand. I blushed at this... cutie?

"Thankaaah!" I yelped as she pulled me up to my feet quickly, making me almost lose my balance. Almost. Also, her hand grip is insane!
"Umm… hi." I greeted the strong woman in front of me.

"Heya." She greeted back with a smile before continuing with. "So what's your name? Or you rather I keep calling you, cutie?" She asked me.

"Ah… sorry, I'm Viri Malkun. What's your name?" I asked her before adding. "And… can you let go of my hand?" I asked her kindly as her grip was like a vice.

"The names Camilla Lancaster." She greeted while letting my hand go for me to rub as it was throbbing in pain. "Though people call me Cammy for short." She said to me.

"Hi Cammy, you're a new student?" I asked her since I haven't heard of anyone with the name Lancaster as their last name. Upon me asking this, she chuckled and shook her head.

"No silly, I'm here with my team from Atlas." She said back to me which confused me greatly as I don't recognize her at all, let alone lacking the knowledge of another Atlas team.

"Huh… really." I said before I thought of something; she looked very much like the Hammer lady from the match. "Didn't your team have a match today?" I asked her.

"That was my sister taking us to the finals." Was her immediate response. Sister? Huh, I guess they do look a lot alike.

"Congratulations for that." I said happily to Cammy, who grinned happily though throughout this I did my best to hide my confusion. "The rest of your team must be excited by this."

"You could say that yeah." She said back to me with a giggle before she lost her smile briefly before putting two fingers up to her air, which I soon saw had an earpiece in it. "Sweet." She said with a smile before adding. "Pick me up some food too while you're out." She said before letting the earpiece go. "Sorry about that. Had a call from my sis." She said.

"It's fine." I said with a smile as my tails moved behind me as we talked. "If you don't mind me asking, where were you heading before I ran into you, literally."

"Around. Scanning the competition." She said to me honestly which was… well quite nice of her to do. She did so with a happy go lucky and carefree smile. I arched my brow at her and chuckled.

"Someone sounds confident in their chances to win." I said to Cammy with an arched brow at her cockiness.

"You could say that." She said back to me with a giggle. I chuckled at this too before speaking.

"Anyway, sorry for taking your time, and sorry for running into you." I said to her in an apologetic tone. She merely smiled and said.

"You already made it up to me for being a cutie." She said in a more flirtatious tone, giving me some suggestive looks. My chuckle turned into a nervous laugh as my face turned redder, making Cammy giggle more.

“Oh well… umm… I’ll just… umm…” I stumbled with my words. My mouth wasn’t really working. Wording is hard, uuh! With a giggle, she walked by me.

"I'll catch you around." I heard her say and when I looked back she had more sway in her hips and uhh… well… uhh. My thoughts were scrambled and I stared before she disappeared which made me blink a few times, now able to think clearly. My face was still red at this which I decided to beeline my way back to my dorm room.

Upon arrival, I made a quick beeline into the bathroom where I splashed my face with water in hopes to get my face to stop burning up with the blush. Afterwards, I exited the bathroom and the first thing that brought my attention was the lack of a burning smell and the fire extinguishers. The second thing that grabbed my attention was my desk… which wasn’t a burning pile of ash. I went over to is and stared at it before I started poking at it. It was my desk, I should know because I saw the number of small and large bite marks on it from the puppies and Amber that one time.

“It’s my desk… only, not burnt to a crisp.” I muttered to myself before turning around and seeing a half-naked Mavis looking over at me from the table, a plate of chips in front of her. The two of us stared at one another as she munched on some chips as she gave me a little wave. “You know… I’m more surprised at the fact I’m not bothered by the fact you’re almost naked.” I said flatly.

"You should try to loosen up yourself too. It helps." Mavis said back to me with a chuckle while I wasn't much of a fan of the idea.

“I don’t think so…” I said before looking back at my desk. “Umm… did you… fix my desk?” I asked her, wondering if she used her magic to fix my desk.

"No." She answered me simply before continuing with. "You kinda did that yourself." She said to me. I stared at her oddly as she munched on another chip.

“Wha? How did I do that? I burned it.” I pointed out to her, the memory of it burning still in my mind. She took a handful of chips and answered.

"That sneeze of yours." She said to me before munching on the chips lazily before continuing. "It set off a whole chain of events and undid some all in the span of that sneeze." She added. Mavis took her time to explain to me that due to my powers flaring up, I’ve created an alternate reality on top of the old one which caused them to implode on one another to form a brand new one that we are in… all in the short time of me sneezing. At this point, I was laying in bed as all of this made my head hurt.

“I destroyed everything and remade everything… from just sneezing…” I said in shock to which Mavis looked at me and said.

"Don't think of it as destruction, think of it as an edit." She said to me before grabbing a handful of chips again. I looked over at her and arched a brow.

“Edit…” I repeated Mavis’ words and thought about it some more. “And… you know the edits I’ve done?” I asked her.

"Yup." She said before I frowned at her, getting a roll of her eyes before she continued. "Most of them were small, nothing too serious. The biggest change or rather additions is that new Atlas team in the tournament." She said to me.

“Atlas team…” I repeated before I bolted upright. “Ooooh! I knew I wasn’t going crazy!” I said quite loudly. “I’ve seen one of them in the match, and ran into another teammate!” At the mention of this, my cheeks reddened at the memory of Camillia. Mavis arched a brow at me.

"Something you want to add to that?" She asked me simply.

“NOPE! NOTHING! THANK YOU I GOT NOTHING!!!” I yelled, the blush refusing to leave even after rushing back into the bathroom and splashing more cold water on my face.

"Something tells me there is~" I heard Mavis call out from the room as I dried my face off before going back, only to be greeted with a very interested Mavis. "Spill." She said, poking my forehead.

“Okay…” I frowned, knowing that she’ll bug the hell out of me if I don’t. “I ran into one of the team members on that new Atlas team, Camillia and… umm, she’s… something.” I said, the blush returning in force. At this rate, I might have to dunk my head in water. She poked me with a teasing smile curling her lips.

"She flirted with you didn't she." She guessed and while she wasn't wrong, there was a little more than flirting than I'd like to admit.

“M-Maybe…” I said as my head went to the memory of her walking away… uh… Mavis started to laugh at me which drew me out of my thoughts.

"Don't be so embarrassed~ it's only natural." She said to me before giggling to herself and adding. "I'll tell you what though if I wasn't dating Yang I would surely have my go on that fine piece of ass." Mavis said with another giggle.

“What?” I asked, blinking at her. Did she know who Camillia is? Of course, she would know, Mavis is Mavis.

"Anyway, you aren't the only one to have an encounter with one of the Lancasters." She said to me before explaining how in this timeline… reality… thing, the team simply going by Lancasters have fought Team CRDN and how they basically crushed the competition from there.

“Wow… looks like they’re going to win huh.” I said to Mavis which got her to arch a brow but shake her head nonetheless before saying.

"Anywho, during today's big match I stumbled across Rose staring mouth agape at the screen in the gym." She said to me, reminding me that the gym here has a big screen to display big events like tournament fights. But I didn't see the big deal in what Mavis just said. The latter noticed my confusion. "She was drooling~" She added.

“Wow. Didn’t think Rose was like that.” I said in surprise as Mavis giggles. I couldn’t help but join in as I went back to sit on my bed. My tails wrapped around me and I was able to run my hands through them both… sooo soft~. I got so lost in the feeling of two soft bushy tails that when I was brought back out of my thoughts, Mavis was… Well, she was dressed.

"You done getting freaky with your tails?" She asked me with an arched brow before continuing with. "I heard the Lancasters are staying here for the duration of their stay. If you want my advice, I suggest you go meet them." She said to me.

“Alright…” I said to Mavis before staring at her for a few more moments. “... Going to see Yang again?” I asked her.

"More than just that~," She said in a happy sing-song tone. I rather not have heard that. I shook my head at her before standing up again.

“Should I bring something as a gift?” I asked Mavis who arched a brow at me. “What, I’m being nice.” She shrugged at me and said.

"I don't know." She said simply before adding. "Anyway, I'll be going now. Don't wait up!" She said before hurrying out the door at an incredible speed. I blinked at this before looking at my shelf for something I can use for a gift. Mostly on my shelf are some textbooks, some smithing and tinkering books and weapon maintenance.

“I don’t think these would work…” I muttered to myself. After a few minutes, I went with a spare weapon maintenance book I had because of a sale. “I… hope they like it… hehe.” I laughed nervously as I made my way to the room they would be using. After finding their room I learned that they’re not there but in the gym training… jeez. So after making my way towards the gym, I found myself in a large main room with training equipment and a sparring ring. Looking towards the ring I saw Rose there just as she was in a training match with another student. From the looks of things, she’s been on a roll for a while as there were a number of sore students around.

Looking around some more I spot a… familiar sight of the back of Cammy… uhh… I felt my face heat up from the sight. She was with the other woman, the really, really buff one. They seem to be chatting about something as there were two others, dressed in casual attire training. Really big man, almost, if not as big as the woman training with a… woman? I stared at said woman and some part of my brain told me to not trust my thoughts on her. I shook my head as I made my way over towards the first two, which caused Cammy to notice me and grinned happily.

"Hey~ cutie!" Greeted Cammy happily which made the larger twin turn back to look at me with an arched brow.

“Umm… hello, again Cammy.” I greeted her with a smile before looking up at the other woman… jeez, she’s tall. “Hello to you as well.” She smiled down at me and waved.

"Hey." She greeted simply before looking down at her sister. "She the one you were on about?" She asked Cammy, the latter nodding while I fidgeted in place.

“Umm, I hope it’s nothing bad.” I said worriedly… wait why am I asking if I did something wrong?! This caused Cammy to giggle a little and the other woman, who was her sister, to arch a brow at me.

"No. My sister likes to flirt around, mostly to people she finds interesting." The larger woman said before adding on. "I'm Lana by the way." She introduced herself.

“Ah… right.” I said to Lana before remembering why I was looking for them. “I umm, just wanted to say hi and give you all this.” I said as I handed Lana the book which she took and look at. Honestly, I watch her eyebrow rise higher every passing second. Was this a bad thing to do? I was just being nice! After a few moments, I realized that I didn’t give her my name. “Oh umm… I’m Viri by the way.” I added.

"Well, I appreciate the gift Viri." Lana said as she put the book down on a bench before I looked over at the training session in time to see the feminine person make the big man tap out after putting him in an odd chokehold.

“Wow.” I said to myself as the feminine person pulled away from the big guy and stood up with a big smile on her face… still that feeling that I’m being deceived here.

"That's Nova and Don, mine and Cammy's brothers." Lana said and there it is! I knew it! "The oldest is Don and Nova is the youngest out of all of us." She added as the big man, Don, got up from his down position as Nova cheered happily for his victory.

“Ahh… wait, you’re all related?” I asked though it wasn’t surprising as me and Mavis are cousins and Yang and Ruby were sisters. Just the idea of a team of brothers and sisters never crossed my mind. Neat.

"Yup." Cammy answered with a smile before Lana added.

"Our superiors at Atlas realized we work better when paired with each other so they made us a team." Lana said to me, explaining a little bit as to how it came to be.

"I won I won I won I won!" Nova cheered happily and playfully, skipping with joy.

"Don't let it get to your head, twerp!" Don called out with a little frown, getting a giggle from Cammy.

"You're just sour that you lost." She said to him, getting a huff from him before he turned and walked over to their things, sitting on a bench nearby. Nova smiled happily before noticing me and coming over to us. Honestly, if I didn’t know I would’ve thought Nova was a girl… but I do know!

"Heya! The names Nova!" He greeted and introduced himself with a grin before asking. "What's yours?"

“Viri.” I answered with a smile as Nova grinned more. I looked back at Lana before saying. “I saw your match, congratulations by the way.” I said to her.

"Thanks, I plan to win the finals." She said to me with a confident smirk. Cammy meanwhile was busy cleaning the mess the brothers made before calling out for Lana.

"Hey, we sparring or what?" Cammy asked Lana, getting her attention.

"Yeah in a minute." Lana said back before looking back down at me. "Nice meeting, Viri." She said to me. I smiled and waved as Lana turned and walked over towards Cammy so the two of them were going to spar. I looked over at Nova who smiled at me before looking back at his two sisters. Guess I’ll leave them alone to their training.

I walked over towards Rose just as I saw her pinning a guy down and having him tap. “Do you ever go easy?” I asked Rose as she rolled over to me.

“Why? In a battle, the other side isn’t going to go easy on us.” Rose said with a grin. “Besides, it’s good training.”

“Right…” I said as the other guy climbed out and there wasn’t anyone else for Rose to spar against. I saw a water bottle nearby and grabbed it to hand it up to Rose. “Here.”

“Thank you.” Rose said to me before taking a long drink from it. As she did she looked off in a direction and tilted her head. I looked in said direction and saw it was towards Cammy and Lana who were now sparing. “Damn… she’s hot.” Rose said after her drink.

“Who? Cammy?” I asked Rose, only for her to shake her head.

“Nope, the other one.” Rose pointed out as I looked to Lana. “Saw her on the screen, but damn… she’s a lot hotter up close.”

"She's single!" The voice of an excited Nova rang out, scaring the hell out of me and Rose as a result.

"Ahh!!" I yelped as Rose looked like she's about to hit Nova for appearing out of nowhere.

"Geez lady, where you come from?!" Rose asked loudly. Nova blinked and looked around him, confused at Rose's outburst.

"Umm… Rose… this is Nova." I introduced him to her before leaning in to whisper. "Also, she's a he."

"Ohhh… wait really?" Rose asked which I nodded. "Oh shit… sorry bout that." She said to Nova.

"Oh it's fine, people get me confused all the time." Nova said as I gave him a good look over, seeing that once again if I hadn't known Nova was a guy I could without a doubt confuse him as she. "Heck, you aren't the first one today. You should've seen my first few hours here." He said to us which got me curious.

"What do you mean?" I asked Nova which got Rose interested in with a smile.

"Well after we landed and got settled in, some of the cute guys here started testing their luck with me." He said to us with a smile before adding. "I like the attention but some of them can be a little… well, pervy." He added. Both Rose and I made a face when Nova said this.

“Ugh, really? If any guy does that to me I’d knock him out.” Rose said which made me roll my eyes.

“Yeah, but every guy here fears you Rose.” I pointed out to her which Rose smirks a bit.

"Anywho, you have the hots for bigger sis?" Nova asked Rose, changing the subject back to Lana with Rose. This took Rose off guard a bit before answering this.

“Well… I guess so… I mean, she’s hot and strong, and… a lot of other stuff that I don’t know yet.” Rose answered with a little smile. “Though, I’m guessing a lot of guys and girls try their luck with her huh?” She asked Nova.

"Actually it's not as common as you might think." Nova said to Rose before continuing. "It's Cammy who gets the most attention out of the two."

“That… kinda sounds right if you think about it.” I said as Rose hummed at this.

“Interesting.” Rose said mostly to herself. A smile formed on her as Nova giggled at this.

"Whatcha thinking?" He asked her with a smile, his hands behind him as he shifted back in forth in a cute like manner of excitement.

“Many things…” Rose answered with a smirk on her face. I rolled my eyes at this and chuckled.

“That doesn’t sound creepy.” I said in a sarcastic tone which Rose looked over to me with a frown. I looked over at Nova. “So, is there anything else you need, Nova?” I asked him.

"Nope!" He said before looking at Rose and said. "Good luck~," He said before skipping off giggling happily. Rose chuckled at this.

“He’s interesting…” Rose said before leaning back and looking at me. “So, want to spar a little?”

“Uhh, not really…” I answered her which Rose arch a brow.

“Viri, you’ve been fighting with your sword for so long, you better know how to fight hand to hand.” Rose said to me.

“Ahh, well umm, I don’t have anything to wear, no gym clothes and stuff.” I informed her and Rose shrugged.

“I think they have some spare clothes here.” Rose said to me. I frown a little, really not wanting to do this but with Rose, I doubt she’ll take no for an answer. With a sigh, I exit out of the gym to go pick up my workout outfit and returning to it. After changing into said clothing me and Rose stood in the sparring ring. The clothes were something Mavis gave me, which of course show more skin than I would like. I stood across from Rose wearing a top that hugged my chest tightly and some shorts that did the same. As I stood there I had a bit of a blush on my face.

"Uhh… Viri, what are you wearing?" Rose asked as her face reddened as well as my own.

“T-this is the clothes Mavis gave me… and you know how she is.” I answered Rose as I used my tails to cover myself a bit. She nodded at this before I noticed Cammy and Lana still training, going at one another with all they've got. Cammy seemed to be more into kickboxing while Lana relied more on her fists and even her whole body when charging.

"Right… well, let's see what you can do and go from there." Rose said as she went to a fighting stance as I did the same. I knew a little about fighting hand to hand but compared to someone like Rose means nothing. The two of us sparred for a bit, me trying to get a hit in while Rose kept dodging, she's slippery! We kept going until Rose kicked my legs from under me and I fell. Rose stood over me and said. "You need to work on that V."

"Ugh… yeah…" I panted as Rose helped me up. Afterwards, I went to get some water for the both of us and came back only to find Rose staring at Lana as the latter tossed her sister off the ring, declaring victory.

"She looks so amazing…" Rose muttered to herself happily just as I gave her the water bottle. "Oh, thanks." She said as she took the drink.

"No problem." I said as I had some of my own… mmm, water. "So… going to ask her out?" I asked Rose.

"I wished but I think it would be too soon for that." Rose informed me before adding. "I think it would be a bit creepy if I ask right away…"

"It's creepy when you just stare." Nova's voice rang out from behind us suddenly. Both of us yelped in surprise as we turned to see him there.

"Would you stop that!!!" Rose yelled. "Really, it freaks me out!" This made Nova giggle a bit.

"Sorry, it's just so darn fun to spook you two." Nova said before adding on. "Anyway, you should try getting to know her. The times she got attention were mostly an effort to get to Cammy." Nova pointed out informatively. Rose frown at this.

"That's… that's just mean and dumb." Rose said, not happy to hear of this before stepping out of the ring. "I'm going over there to say hi."

"Have fun with that." I said to Rose which got her to smile a bit, leaving me with Nova.

"Whatcha going to do now?" Nova asked me, turning to look at me with a smile. I hummed at this, not really sure what I'm going to do.

"I don't know…" I said before glancing down at myself. "Maybe change out of these clothes…"

"Want to hang out?" Nova asked me simply with a smile and when I looked at him I finally noticed the cattail swinging behind him. I blinked at him before smiling.

"Sure, I just need to go to my dorm to shower and change." I said to him which got Nova to arched a brow.

"But there are showers in the changing room here." Nova said to me and while this was entirely true, I just didn't like public showering.

"Sorry but I'm not one for public bathrooms…" I said as I rubbed my arm. "I'll be right back though." He pouted but nodded anyway before I left for my room.

I made my way to my dorm room and when I got there I opened the door to see that both Amaram and Umbra were there… and they were kissing… wait what?

I stood there stunned before they both notice me there, blushing and in shock. The two of them stared at me as I stared back.

"You two…" I started to say as they nodded. "How long?"

"A couple of months." Umbra answered me with her own blush.

"Right…" I said to them before seeing my clothes. "I'm just… going to take a shower and… yeah." I quickly grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to shower. The shower lasted a bit longer than normal and when I went out the two were gone. The memory of the two were still fresh in my head as I shook my head, quickly grabbing my scroll before heading back out, hoping Nova isn't mad at me.

Speaking of, as I opened the door in was greeted by Nova. He wore a tank top shirt that showed off his midriff and some shorts as well as I saw a bit of his underwear showing… I think it’s a thong. He also had his hair let down, making it even harder to tell he was a he and not a she. Beside Nova was Cammy, wearing a gray top that hugged her chest and sides leaving her belly uncovered as well as some tight red pants.

“Oh… hey Nova, Cammy.” I greeted them both which they both smiled at me.

"Hiya!" Greeted Cammy happily.

"Heya!" Nova greeted equally as happy. "Were those two your teammates? The owl and bull faunus?" He asked me with a curious expression.

“They are...” I said to Nova, blushing again from the memory of what I saw.

"They left in a hurry with blushing red faces." Cammy said with a giggle as Nova did so as well.

"So mind giving us a tour of the place?" Nova asked after having his giggle with his sister.

“Huh, oh sure.” I answered him and soon the three of us were walking down the hallway. On the way, we ran into Ruby who seemed surprised to see us.

“Oh, hey Viri!” Ruby greeted me with a big smile what made me smile as well.

“Hey, Ruby.” I greeted back as Ruby looked at me and then at the other two. “Oh right, Ruby this is Nova and Camilia Lancaster.”

"Yeah, I know." Ruby said back to me, which made me blink before she added. "Hey I saw that match with you and your sister, you guys were awesome!" Ruby added.

"Daww~ thank you~," Cammy said while Nova simply giggled his sister's response. I blinked yet again before saying.

“Right, anyway I was showing them around Beacon.” I explained to Ruby.

“Neat… umm, do you think I can tag along?” Ruby asked me which was surprising. “Weiss is out in Vale with Tak, Blake is with Indigo and Yang… uhh…” I watched her face turn red which made me understand what’s up.

“I get it, I don’t mind… what about you two?” I asked the two siblings.

"Sure!" Both Cammy and Nova answered enthusiastically with nods before soon enough we all headed off to start the tour, which with Ruby to help would be a cakewalk… Right?

We showed them the cafeteria and classrooms as well as the other training halls. While we were on the way to the library I heard Cammy.

"Don't look now but some cute guys are looking this way." Cammy said to Nova, who took on a sexier like walk as a couple of guys walked, most of which stopped and turned at the sight of Nova and Cammy though I would think mostly at Nova.

"Hey boys~" Nova called out to them in a flirtatious tone. Cammy giggled at her brother from this. Ruby and I looked at one another as Ruby gave me a questioning look about this. I simply shrugged and shook my head as we continue on, the other two were getting cat calls for their flirtatious actions. This went on for a good while as I continue with my tour. Honestly, it kinda works when we’re in a more populated area I had time to chat with Ruby while leading the other two along. When we finally arrived at the library I heard the two talking.

"I don't know, they all looked cute… hunks too." Nova said to Cammy before the latter spoke.

"Aww come on, there should be at least one that caught your eye." Cammy said which got a pout from her brother. As this was going on we entered the library which was empty other than a few students who are busy reading or taking a nap. Some of those who weren't napping noticed Cammy and Nova as we walked in.

"Whoa. This is more impressive than Atlas' library." I heard Cammy say out loud.

"Really?" Ruby asked, surprised to hear that from Cammy. Nova giggled a little at his sister's reaction.

"Yeah. This place looks and feels cozier than Atlas' dull white and sleek looking libraries. I even heard their thinking of making everything digital." Nova said before he moved a bit of his hair, revealing the same earpiece as Cammy was wearing. Both Ruby and I saw this and got a closer look at the earpiece.

"Oooo~" the both of us said in awe which made Cammy laugh.

"Huh?" Nova looked back at us to see us looking at him with curiosity. "What's going on?" He asked us.

"Nothing, just getting a closer look at your earpiece." I said, pointing at said earpiece.

"Yeah, I never saw anything like that before." Ruby said in awe. Cammy once again giggled before she spoke in Nova's behalf.

"It's an experimental piece of tech given to us by Mal Kun Tech. It's called a focus, it basically does everything a scroll does but without the need for a scroll." Cammy said and got a nod from Nova in agreement to what she said.

"Yeah like calling, surfing the web and all that cool stuff." He said to us before Cammy giggled and said.

"Surf the web? Is that what you call browsing pictures of half-naked men?" Cammy asked, teasing Nova to which he simply stuck out his tongue.

"What I do is my business." He said defensively and simply. As the two talked both Ruby and I glanced at each other, blushing at what Nova does sometimes.

"Umm, well as cool that is I think I'll stick with my scroll for now." Ruby said, maybe trying to change the subject a bit.

"Yeah… though it could be useful for other things." I pointed out.

"Yeah!... umm hey Camilia-" Ruby started before Cammy cut her off.

"You can call me Cammy, cutie." Cammy was quick to say to Ruby with a giggle, making Ruby herself blush at this.

“Ummm… okay, Cammy do you mind if we try out your earpiece?” Ruby asked Cammy, still blushing at her earlier comment. Cammy thought about this before shrugging and taking the piece off and handing it to Ruby.

"Go ahead." She said simply while I noticed Nova giving some of the guys something to look at. Ruby smiled childishly as she put the earpiece in.

“So… how does it work?” Ruby asked, now having the earpiece in her ear and not know how it works. As she did her eyes widen as she stared off into the library. “Whoa… whoa!” she said in awe, making me wonder what’s up as Cammy giggled some more.

"Pretty neat huh?" Cammy asked while I looked at Ruby as if she's gone crazy.

“Uhh… what’s going on?” I asked Ruby as she reached out to grab something.

“Viri, I can see a lot of different menus and… stuff! This is so cool!” Ruby said in a giddy voice. I watched as her hand started moving as if she was touching and moving stuff in the air.

"It's pretty cool I know. We all had the same reaction." Cammy said to Ruby, giggling at Ruby's antics while I watched curiously to know what she saw.

“Let me try!” I said happily as Ruby seemed to do something before pulling the earpiece out and handing it to me. I quickly put it in and soon my vision was filled with different menus and stuff. “Whoa… this is so cool!”

“I know!” Ruby cheered with me. I explored the many menus available with the wave of my hand as if it was really there before Cammy took the piece back.

"That's enough, you two are making a bit of a show with your antics." Cammy said as she put her back on and adding. "Not that I mind though." She said with a giggle. It was then that I noticed that Nova had vanished somehow… Where did he go?

“Hey, where did Nova go?” Ruby asked, also noticing that Nova disappeared. The two of us looked around as Cammy was busy waving her hand around, probably moving everything back to how she likes it. When I finally spotted Nova, he was reaching up for a certain book but was just out of reach and nearly gave up… that is if it weren't for a student coming to his aid.

"Need a hand?" Said the student, a young deer faunus man nearly twice Nova's size. Nova himself smiled at this offer before looking over and stared up at the man with mouth agape. The student himself took the book and handed it to Nova, who managed to take it. With a reddening face, he spoke.

"T-thanks uh… thanks…" Nova said as the guy smiled and spoke.

"Don't mention it." He said before turning and walking off, having done his good deed. Nova was left with a very red blush and nervous smile. I arched a brow at this as we all stared at Nova as he held his book in his hands tightly. I heard Cammy chuckled a bit to herself.

“That guy was nice.” Ruby said with a smile on her face. I looked at Nova as he muttered.

"I- Uh.. Umm… Who was…" He seemed to be at a loss for words after the encounter which in turn made Cammy giggle.

"Seems someone just found the one~," Cammy said teasingly but not loud enough for him to hear. I arched a brow but smiled at Nova who stood where he was, blushing adorably. This caused me to giggle a little as well. After a few moments in walked over to him to see Nova was happily staring off into space.

"Nova… hello~" I said, waving my hand in front of his face. He blinked at this and shook his head.

"H-huh? Wha?" He uttered in confusion while Cammy was busy holding back her laughs beside Ruby.

"Enjoyed your trip into la la land?" I asked Nova with a smile as he fidgets a bit… honestly, he looked so adorable!!

"W-who was he?" Nova asked me, regarding the deer faunus student that helped him out earlier. I've seen him a few times before, a second-year student by the name of Edwards, an odd name but I heard his family was the traditional naming type though his last name, Bonze, would beg to differ.

"I believe his name is Edward Bonze." I answered Nova who sighed happily.

"Even his name is so dreamy~," Nova said to himself before sighing happily once more which made me hold back a laugh at this.

"Someone's head over heels for him huh?" I said, chuckling a little. Nova blushed some more as Cammy walked up to us.

"You don't know the half of it. This is the first I've ever seen him like this." Cammy said before going to her brother and hugging him.

"He was so dreamy~," Nova said with a love-struck face. Cammy held her brother close as Ruby came up beside me with a smile. I looked over at the two siblings before speaking.

“You want to head back to your dorm room?” I asked as Nova sighed happily again, making Cammy giggle a bit more.

"We'll find our way back, thanks." Cammy said as Nova giggled, happily slipping off into his fantasy land. Wow, he got it hard. "Oh just wait until Don and Lana hear about this~," Cammy said to herself before picking up Nova with ease which came as no surprise before they left the library, which me and Ruby followed suit soon after, heading back to the dormitories.
