It’s been two weeks since the start of school at Beacon academy with my new team with Mavis. I finally was able to settle down after the excitement for being in a new school and actually being on a team. Sure at first it was a bit… awkward but after getting to know one another we all became good friends… well, I think so.

Right now we were in class learning about some combat strategies, well most of us. I saw a few students with their heads down sleeping, one being Mavis who was sitting beside me sleeping. I always was faced with a dilemma when I see her like this, should I wake her up so she could listen, or leave her be as she already knows all of this beforehand.

Deciding to think it be better if the teacher didn’t have another student sleeping in their class I nudged Mavis enough to wake her.

“Mmm… five more minutes.” I heard her mumble almost incoherently as her voice was muffled. I frowned at this as the other two were still busy taking notes of the lesson. I sighed at this and paid attention to the class as Mavis slept through it until the bell rang for the next class. While we were packing up, we shook Mavis awake. “Mmm… wha?” I heard her mumble again as she opened her eyes and saw us before she straightened up and stretched her arms before floating her bag to her hand and standing up. “So where to?” She asked me as she yawned. I pulled out my scroll and looked checked my list.

“Mmm… Professor Theodore’s class.” I answered Mavis as I put my scroll away and added. “That means more team strategy.” These classes are Umbra’s favourite class mostly for her upbringing with Atlas military classes when she was young. As we were packing up Amaran went over to Mavis.

“Here you go sleepy head,” Amaran said as she handed Mavis a copy of the notes from class.

“Thank you, Amaran but I’m fine,” Mavis said, showing her own notebook, the very same she slept over and… hey! That was my handwriting!

“Oh, well okay then. How did you get some notes in I will never know.” Amaran said.

“Jee I wonder,” I said as I glared at Mavis as she smiled before packing her things just before a certain blonde walked up to her.

“Yo~” Yang greeted Mavis happily as Mavis smile at her as the other two were ready to go.

“You two will catch up?” Umbra asked me which I nodded, seeing my two teammates go and me looking back at the two.

“Hey, sexy.” Mavis greeted the buxom blonde with a chuckle. Yang smiled at this.

“Well that’s debatable, have you seen a mirror?” Yang asked which the two chuckled at before asking. “So what’s your next class? I got professor Oobleck, honestly, I think he drinks twenty cups of coffee a day.”

“He drinks an unhealthy amount of caffeine,” Mavis said before quickly adding. “I have Theodore, so see ya soon gorgeous~,” Mavis said as she happily floated with me following behind her. I followed behind her until we were out of the classroom.

“You two flirt with each other every day. When will one of you just… ask the other out?” I asked my floating cousin. She giggled before turning upside down, her bag close to her chest as she spoke.

“I have not done that because I promised Jericho that if anyone else were to get involved, they have to make the first move.” She said to me with a smile as her bag opened up to reveal a yawning Amber. I nodded at her as I reached up to pet Amber, something she enjoys greatly. We caught up to the others as they were nearing the next classroom. When they neared Amaran looked at Mavis with a small frown.

“You know, you floating around with your semblance makes you a bit lazy Mavis,” Amaran informed her as Umbra was listening in.

“Already heard that one before,” Mavis said as she floated by Amaram with a chuckle. Amaran shook her head as we all entered the door into the classroom… well, it was a classroom, it wasn’t a normal classroom. Instead of normal desks to sit and take notes, the room was laid bear with lots of room to move around. Some machines were set up that, after a week of learning of them were that they were VR machines that the Professor use for tests. I never saw them in use and I was interested to see what they do.

The classroom filled up with the attending students and it wasn’t until I heard a bark that I looked over to the door, seeing a group of third-year students, the same ones I saw during my first day and beside one of them was the same beowolf as the one me and Mavis stumbled upon in the forest… wait… Before I could ask Amber poke her head up out of the bag and saw the Beowolf who she seem to get excited at.

“Looks like Amber sees a friend…” I said which I looked back at the Beowolf, still questioning why there was a Grimm here.

“Well he is the only canine in Beacon, so the excitement to see a fellow wolf is expected,” Mavis said as following behind the group is the Professor himself. Professor Theodore stood up straight as he walked into the middle of the room, he had a limp to his walk and used a cane. He wore a dark, ashen gray suit with a black vest underneath with some hints of blue under that. He had some short black hair with wisps of gray in it and a graying beard. He cleared his throat and tapped the ground with his cane.

“Good morning everyone, I hope you spent the weekend training for today’s test.” He said out to the whole class with a smile as the four third-year students stood by him.

“I say,” Umbra muttered to us. “Again, I can’t believe you two were trained like that.” She said, reminding that during the weekend Mavis had all of us go through a number of training courses.

“Oh quit your complaining, we only spent half the days training instead of the supposed full day as I planned,” Mavis said to Umbra while she placed the bag with Amber down as the professor spoke.

“Today you’ll be taking a VR test, this one of a perfectly reconstructed mission of my old War days.” He said as a monitor projected screenshots of an old war base, soldiers posted around heavily armed for combat. “This test will be stealth based, coordination and teamwork are a must have for this one. Reach your objective, plant the explosive and exit the compound without being spotted.” Professor Theodore explained to us all as the four students around him began to hook themselves up into the machine. “Team INDG will demonstrate the proper coordination needed for your tests.” He said to us. We all gathered around before seeing some screens light up and soon the image of a snowy base was shown. The screen moved across the place and showed us what it looks like but it was quick enough that we can’t gleam anything off of it.

“So Umbra, think this is your specialty?” I asked her.

“Not… really. Professor Theodore said this was during the war and… well, I don’t know if I get anything without some sort of reconnaissance of the place.” She answered me as the screen showed team INDG appear.


It took them ten minutes… ten minutes to bypass security, to sneak past or knock out guards. Ten minutes to plant the bomb on the fuel tanks and extracting. All without having to utter a word as well, either within VR hand signals.

It was… impressive to see them do this without fail, though I guess it makes sense since they are third years. “Not going to lie, it’s going to be hard…” I said to the others.

“Yeah… I’m not one for stealth.” Amaram said before gesturing to herself. “I’m more hard labour and straight forward, not… this.”

“Boom!” Said the team leader as the scores were put up in a leader board, with their time being at the top. “New best time- ow!” The Team leader, Indigo his name I soon found out, reeled in a bit of pain when the professor walked the back of his head with his cane.

“Do not treat it as a game, Indigo. I’ve told you many times before.” The Professor said with a frown as the others unhooked themselves off the machine.

“Sorry, grandpa.” I barely heard Indigo said as he rubbed the back of his head. Theodore nodded and hummed before dismissing the group, getting the wolf to look at Amber as she poked her head out of the bag. She yipped at the wolf and I saw it wag its tail a bit. This caused Amber to jump out and taking her much larger form, making a few students jump in surprise. When Amber got up to the Beowolf, the two barked at one another before Amber ran out with another chasing after her.

“Young love.” I heard Mavis mutter with a happy sigh before class continued with another team getting their turn in the test.


Later…


Well, it didn’t go as bad as I thought, our group were close to completing it a little over twenty minutes until one of the guards spooked Amaram and she decked him in the face, causing us to fail.

“Sorry guys…” Amaram said sadly to us.

“It was a noteworthy attempt, girls,” Mavis said to us as she floated past us. “There’s always practice.” She was quick to add as we got our things, the next period about to start. It was Grimm Studies with Professor Port, which also meant that it was a whole period of listening to him tell stories of ‘The good old days!’ as he likes to call them.

And like I expected, it was mostly Professor Port going over a different type of Grimm, today’s it was the Deathstalkers and went off on a story when he found himself in a nest of them. Some of us stayed awake for his lessons, others not so much. When the period was over it was time for lunch, yay~.

We began to pack our notebooks and I turned to Mavis, expecting to see her napping but I was surprised to see her awake and smiling, did she really enjoy the professors' stories? She can’t possibly believe he actually did all those things… can she? She saw my odd look and soon arched a brow. “What?” She asked me.

“Just surprised that you’re awake for one of Professor Port’s lectures,” I said to her which earned me an arched brow and smile from Mavis.

“Oh, it’s always interesting to hear his takes on the events he goes on about during his classes,” Mavis said to me with a giggle and soon added. “They are all true, to a degree of course but true nonetheless. He always leaves out the bits with others joining to help but I guess it cannot be helped if he liked to remember things his way.” She said with another giggle before she began to float off the ground again, bag hanging below her as she held the straps for it. I stared at her for a few moments… they were real?! After gathering my thoughts from the shock, I packed my own things followed my team out.

We all headed off towards the cafeteria to get some food and sit down at a table, one that just so happens to have Team RWBY also sitting at. Take a guess at which one of us picked the table to sit in… If that guess wasn’t Mavis, then it’s wrong, so very wrong.

“Hey!” Ruby greeted us all with a smile. The other two, Blake and Weiss, gave us a wave as Yang greeted Mavis with a smile.

“Hey.” I greeted Ruby with a smile as well before I dug into my food, overhearing the other two talking, and I mean Mavis and Yang.

“So how was your last class,” Yang asked Mavis.

“Well, it was Port, so about as well as it usually goes,” Mavis answered with a chuckle. “While his tales are interesting, he does go on longer than he should.” She added, giggling before taking a fork and ate a bit of the food, which wasn’t terrible but not great either.

“Actually I think his tales gave some insight into how to fight the Grimm, even though the Professor does embellish on his tales,” Blake added into their talk.

“Really? I kinda zone out when he starts talking.” Yang said which got Blake to roll her eyes. This got Mavis to giggle with a mouthful of food before she swallowed the food. We all chatted for a bit, Mavis and Yang mostly talked to each other than the rest of us before we were interrupted by someone.

“Hey there.” A guy said to Mavis. He was tall with short brown hair and white skin, he had a smirk on his face as he looked at Mavis. “My name is Cardin Winchester.”

“Okay, and?” Mavis asked him back with an arched brow, unaware as we are to what this guy was doing here. This got him to chuckle a bit before saying.

“Well I just came over to say that I have some tickets to a movie, and I’m wondering if you want to come with me,” Cardin asked, getting some odd looks from Team RWBY.

“How sweet of you… but I already have plans.” Mavis said back to him with a smile, gesturing towards Yang who did her best to hide her surprise.

“Wait, I thought we-” Ruby started to say but was cut off when Blake covered her mouth as Cardin stared at Mavis.

“I, you… what?” he asked in surprise.

“She said she has plans. Get your ears cleaned.” Amaram informed Cardin, the latter shot a glare at her before walking off in a huff. As he left I leaned over to Mavis.

“I didn’t know you had plans with Yang?” I whispered to her. This got her to chuckle a little and shake her head.

“I don’t, I only said that to get him off my back,” Mavis said to me in a playful whisper. I rolled my eyes at her before Yang spoke up.

“When did we make plans?” Yang asked Mavis, who turned to answer her but Yang continued. “I mean, I was going to ask if you want to hang out this weekend but as it seems you already made plans… with me… does that mean that’s a yes?” Mavis blinked at Yang in silence before smiling.

“Sure.” She said to the blonde. The two of them smiled at one another as we all continue eating our food. When we finished up and the bell rang for the next period, which was a study period so we all headed to the library and went off to study or something. This left me with Mavis alone at a table in the library.

“So, seems someone has a date~,” I said teasingly to Mavis.

“At least I found a date, can you say the same?” She asked me with a smirk and an arched brow. My smirk fell as she said that.

“I… haven’t found anyone, alright,” I said to her, slinking down in the seat. After a few moments, I sat back up. “Actually I have to point out that you stole my notes!” I pointed out to her. She arched a brow at me when I said this to which prompted me to grab her bag and pull out her notebook. “Your notes were in my handwriting! You imagined them into your notebook!” I pointed out to her as I opened it and checked the pages. “They are all in my handwriting!” I said.

“I may or may not have had our notebooks enchanted. Anything you write on yours shows up in mine.” Mavis said to me with a giggle as multiple notebooks opened up, all of which were in my handwriting from all the different classes.

“That’s cheating!” I said to her, frowning that she would make me do all the work. She told me that I had to do all my work myself, seeing her doing this made me upset.

“It’s not cheating, Viri. It is me making sure you’re not spending time improving your drawing skills.” Mavis said to me with a frown before adding. “And I use it to stay in Beacon, would you rather they kick me out?” She asked me. I didn’t say anything as she was right if she got kicked out I would be on my own. I sat back down and frowned at myself, giving her notebook back.

“Sorry,” I said to her.

“Oh don’t be so hard on yourself, the magic is able to work both ways so you have a better advantage than anyone in Beacon.” She said to me with a smile as she soon showed me an answer to the question I wrote down for myself regarding DeathStalker’s durability and how to counter it.

“To use its own stinger…” I read as she finished writing. She nodded at me before gesturing to my own notebook, which was open. I looked at it and saw the same question and answer, the answer was in her own writing.

“Either using its own stinger or in some occasions, hitting it really really hard,” Mavis said to me with a chuckle as she closed her notebook. I chuckled again as I pulled a book that I grabbed from before and opened it to a chapter to study. Before I could get a little more reading in I heard someone walk up to us.

“Well hello again.” Cardin greeted Mavis in a chipper tune. “Didn’t expect you to be here.”

“Hello to you too, can I help you with anything?” Mavis asked him with an arched brow as I looked up from my book.

“Well, I just came back to say that, if this weekend isn’t going to work out… how about the next weekend? Just a walk around the park and some lunch?” Cardin asked Mavis with a smile. This got Mavis to giggle a bit.

“That’s very sweet of you to offer but I’m afraid I’ll to pass,” Mavis said to him kindly, turning down an offer for a date. Can’t this guy get the message? I saw his one eye twitch a bit before chuckling.

“Really, well I think you’re missing out on something for turning me down so… easily, so I ask again, maybe reconsider.” He asked, a little more forcefully.

“Well when that something turns up I’ll consider it but until then my answer stays the same,” Mavis said, once again her smile having never faltered for even a second. I looked up to see that Cardin was looking a little bit frustrated at Mavis’ answers. After a few moments, he spoke.

“Say, are you… a betting woman?” He asked Mavis which made me frown a little as she glanced at him.

“I like to take risks, so I suppose that makes me a betting woman,” Mavis answered, arching a brow at the man in front of her while I did my best to look disinterested though I’m beginning to think he hasn’t noticed me at all, which I am thankful for.

“Well, how about this; a match, me vs you. If I win you go out with me and cancel on… the blonde chick and go out with me. And if you win… I’ll leave you alone. Deal?” He asked me.

“Deal.” She said with a smile before Cardin chuckled and left us after giving us the training room number to meet up in. As soon as he left our line of sight, Mavis made an odd looking notebook appear and she hummed.

“Hmm, quite the man he is. Not seven second later is thinking of cheating.” She said with a roll of her eyes.

“He’s going to cheat? How do you know?” I asked her, surprised to hear her say that Cardin was going to cheat. She turned the book over and let me see the contents of which I stared oddly at as I read. Sure enough on one page that was magically written had his name on it. “Oh… wow, it also says that if you question it, he will say that he only asked for a match, not a one on one match… that asshole. Should I go tell the others about this?” I asked her.

“For what?” Mavis asked me as she flipped through a few pages of the book. She stopped at one page with an arched brow before shaking her head. “I don’t see why others need to be involved.” She said.

“Well, Cardin is going to get his team to fight you, don’t you want to have an even playing field?” I asked her. She arched a brow at me, as if I should be realizing something- oh… “Right… never mind. Forgot who I was talking to.” I said to her as I crossed my arms. I keep forgetting that Mavis is actually a strong Huntress on her own account.

“But if you wish to inform the others of the upcoming fight, do feel to do so. I’m sure they’ll enjoy the spectacle.” Mavis said with a little laugh before standing up. “I’ll be heading back to our dorm to change into something more fitting for fighting.” She said to me before floating off, leaving me to my own devices… until Amber quite literally popped her head from under the table. Where did she come from!?

“Ah! Where did you come from?!” I yelled in surprise as Amber looked up at me as she rested her head on my lap. I smiled a gave her ears a scratch. “Were you sleeping under the table?” She huffed a bit as I stood up, heading off to tell the others what was going to happen.


Later, in the training room.


Seems the word about the challenge got around as there a large crowd of people here to see the fight. I sat in the front row of the stands waiting to see Mavis kick Cardin and his teammates' asses.

“This’ll be interesting.” I heard Umbra said beside me as Amaram looked around.

“There are a lot of people around…” Amaram said to us. “We been here for two weeks and everyone is this itching to see some combat?” I shrug at her as I looked around. As I did I saw the same group of third-year students here as well, some muttering to one another as the Beowolf was next to one of them. Out on the arena was Cardin in the same outfit I saw him in holding a large mace in his hand and smirking to himself.

“Hello.” I heard the voice of Ruby and saw that she and her team was here as well.

“Hey, Ruby, here to watch as well?” I asked her.

“Yup got a free period right now,” Ruby answered as she sat down beside me.

“So who has Cardin challenged?” Yang asked me before looking past me and added. “And where’s Mavis?”

“Those questions can be answered at the same time; Cardin challenged Mavis,” Umbra answered that.

“What? Why?” Yang asked us which I answered.

“Because Cardin can’t take the answer no,” I said simply as Cardin looked around for Mavis, who has yet to be found. As we waited we informed Yang what was going on and at the end, she looked pissed.

“That asshole! If I was down there I would beat the crap out of him!” Yang said angrily. I could’ve sworn that her hair glowed brighter and her eyes went red. Luckily Ruby was able to calm her down.

“I have to say, it’s odd that Cardin would hit on Mavis since she’s a Faunus,” Weiss said which caused me, Umbra and Amaram turn to look at her.

“And what is that supposed to mean?” Amaram asked with a frown on her face.

“Choose your next few words carefully,” Umbra added. Weiss looked at the three of us with a worried look.

“Cardin and his team openly pick on Faunus once in a while,” Blake answered us. We all nodded as we continued to stare at Weiss, probably making her very uncomfortable.

“C-Can we stop staring at me… please. Look, I think Mavis is coming now and- Uhhhhhh.” Weiss stopped talking as her whole face went red, same goes to her teammates. I looked back to see what’s- Uhhhhhh!

True to her word, Mavis finally came around… wearing a bikini and some leggings… What!?! There was no other way to describe what she wore, everyone in the hall looked at Mavis in awe and disbelief. When I looked at Mavis herself, I had expected her to see some flare in her walk… but what I saw was her tightening a pair of fingerless gloves as her sword fan rested on her hip.

“Why is she wearing… that?” Ruby asked, covering her eyes and peeking out of her fingers.

“That’s… not decent at all! How is that proper combat armour!?” Weiss asked in a flustered manner.

“Says the one in a skirt.” Blake pointed out, less flustered as her teammates.

“It’s a combat skirt,” Weiss said in a matter of fact tone.

“Yeah~” Ruby added as the two high five each other. Yang was the only one that didn’t say anything, the reason being that she was staring at Mavis wide-eyed and blushing. Mavis turned to look at us, at Yang more specifically before blowing a kiss towards the Blonde.

“Hurp!” Was all Yang could say before falling down onto the ground. We all looked down at her as we saw hearts in Yang's eyes.

“Oh, geez…” Ruby said before shaking her sister. “Come on, wake up! You’re going to miss the match!”

As Ruby was trying to wake her sister up from her coma I looked back to see Mavis doing some stretching and Cardin… laughing.

“Well look at you! Already putting a show on for me? You’re sweet!” Cardin said loudly at Mavis.

“The show isn’t meant for you, you’re just an unwanted audience,” Mavis said back to him simply as she finished her stretched.

“Big talk for someone that’s going to get their ass kicked,” Cardin said as he did a gestured and the rest of his team came out. Each of them armed and ready to fight. “Oh, did you think this was a one on one fight? Sorry but all I said that this was a match, didn’t say anything about how many are fighting.” He chuckled.

“You sure she’ll be alright?” Amaram asked me. I looked at Mavis for a moment and saw she wasn’t worried.

“I think so,” Umbra said to her as Mavis spoke.

“Come on, I don’t have all day.” She said to her opponents as she got ready to fight, the Aura bars displaying above their heads. The other four looked at one another as they got ready as there was a ten-second countdown. As it counts down to five seconds Yang regained consciousness.

“Wha- what happened? Did I miss it?” Yang asked looking back as there were three seconds left. Two… one.

With a single pushing gesture of her hand, Cardin’s mates were tossed out of the ring like ragdolls and counting them K.Od. While Mavis giggled and Cardin, in shock looked back to see his groaning team.

“Nah, you didn’t miss much,” I said to her as Cardin looked back at Mavis who was smiling at Cardin.

“Would you look at that, just us. It’s like our first date.” Mavis said with fluttering eyes, taunting the mace-wielding jock. Cardin huffed at this before gripping his mace and charge at Mavis to slam his mace on her, only for Mavis to sidestep away, almost dance-like which caused Cardin to get a bit angrier as he spun around, swinging his mace out wide and again Mavis dodged gracefully. “Our first dance, though you need some lessons,” Mavis said, bending backwards to dodge an incoming swing of the mace. “I think you might have two left feet.” She said before using her own feet to kick up Cardin and quickly dropping to the floor only to propel herself back up, kicking Cardin down onto his back with Mavis standing on top of him.

“Wow… she’s good.” Blake said in awe at Mavis’ skill as Weiss nodded as Yang was cheering as Cardin rolled up to his feet as Mavis simply hopped off of him.

“Gah! Hold still!” He yelled as he took his weapon and tried to hit her.

“Gods above you’re really bad at this,” Mavis said with a laugh as she dodged, danced and simply moved out of the way of each attack Cardin had to offer.

“Fuck off!” Cardin yelled as he slammed his mace down onto the ground, making a shockwave towards Mavis, to which got her to backflip and float upwards a bit. She positioned herself upside down before doing a kissy face. Cardin growled as he tried to hit Mavis’ face only for her to swing around, making him slam down onto the ground as she was once again upside down.

“I’m beginning to think you’re not even trying.” She said to him with a laugh before Cardin growled and swung once again before shocking everyone when he managed to strike Mavis clear across the ring, getting her to tumble onto the ground. We watched as a good chunk of her Aura went down and Cardin chuckled.

“Finally, not so tough now bitch.” He said to Mavis as he walked over to Mavis and wined up to slam his mace down. Mavis didn’t move as Cardin brought his mace up to slam down on her.

“Get up!” I heard Yang yelled in worry as me and my team looked at Mavis in worry that she wasn’t moving.

“Why aren’t you moving…” I muttered to myself in a worried tone as I stared at her. Just as Cardin slammed down his mace, the entire room was filled with the sound of a large bell-like ringing. I blinked a first until I saw Cardin started vibrating as if he hit something hard… then I saw Mavis push his mace up with her finger.

“Hmph to cocky for your good, that was a free hit I gave you,” Mavis said to Cardin, her Aura skyrocketing back to where it once was. She arched a brow at the still stunned Cardin before poking the mace of her opponent all over, making it ring like a bell more and more suddenly making Cardin toss his mace up into the air, which was quite the feat of strength for him I have to admit. Before the mace hit the ground, Mavis grabbed the handle of it and spun it around only to give Cardin a taste of his own medicine, hitting him and launching him across the ring. Just after Mavis did this, she grabbed her sword fan and sliced off the head of the mace before kicking it towards Cardin. The mace head went and hit a place no man wants to get hit… at all… everyone flinched when Cardin got hit.

“Oooooooo~” Cardin groaned in a high pitch voice as he fell over. Is Aura bar fell before displaying a skull and over Mavis’ head it said, winner. Everyone cheered at her victory.

“I think it’s best we see other people,” Mavis said out loud, closing up her weapon and strapping it back onto her hip before walking off the ring.

Team Rwby and my team got up to go met up with Mavis which we found her in the changing rooms grabbing her bag.

“Congratulations!” I said to her with a smile. She turned to look at us with a chuckle.

“Thank you, to be honest, it didn’t feel like much of a fight,” Mavis said her bag in hand and her weapon on her hip. Which made me realize something. It can cut through metal, which was both awesome and terrifying.

“Can I ask something?” Ruby asked Mavis, getting her attention. “Can I see your weapon...please~”

“Hmm? What for?” Mavis asked with an arched brow, holding back a laugh at the starry-eyed leader of RWBY.

“I just want to see it up close!” Ruby said in an excited tone. With a chuckle, she took her fan blade and handed it to Ruby, who got giddy when she held it. As Ruby was busy drooling over Mavis weapon I looked back at her.

“That ending was… ow.” I said which got a chuckle from Mavis.

“It wasn’t much of a… graceful way to end things but it was effective,” Weiss said to Mavis.

“Good job,” Blake said simply with a smile. Mavis smiled at them before looking at Yang, who has been quiet.

“That was an awesome match,” Yang said with a smile.

“Yeah, you showed that Cardin not to mess with you,” Amaram said as Umbra gave her a thumbs up. Mavis laughed at this before taking her weapon back, Ruby having practically drooled onto it while she stared at it.

“Uhh,” Mavis said in a little disgust before making her weapon float on its own and spin dry itself.

“Sorry…” Ruby said before Yang pulled her into a one arm hug.

“You need to work on that sis,” Yang said teasingly. Ruby smiled at her as looked at Mavis.

“I… I have to ask, why that outfit?” I asked her, gesturing her bikini.

“Rude to ask about one’s sense of style,” Mavis said with a little frown as she grabbed her weapon again.

“I didn’t… oh never mind.” I said with a grumble, which got her to giggle and say.

“I’m just messing with you,” Mavis said to me before floating off the ground. “I decided on this as my outfit cause I make it look good.” She said before striking a suggestive pose.

“Well, I like it,” Yang said with a smile which everyone rolled their eyes or shook their heads.

“So… do you think Cardin will try anything after having beaten him?” Amaram asked Mavis which got everyone’s attention. “He doesn’t seem the be the one that would take losing lightly.”

“He better not, else he has to deal with me,” Yang said, cracking her knuckles.

“I’d like to see him try,” Mavis answered before floating above us. “It was entertaining and if he thinks he can beat me with cheap tricks, he has another thing coming. Perhaps the flagpole out in the courtyard can use a new flag.” She said to us with a chuckle. We all stared at her, unsure if she was being serious or not. For me, I think she is being serious.

“Well then… how about we celebrate your win with some food?” I suggested which got everyone’s attention. Mavis giggled before sitting stop Yang’s shoulders, much to the latter’s delight.

We all headed out of the changing room to find a nice place to celebrate Mavis’ victory. We even called up Jona to invite her team to join us as well.

This sure was an exciting day today, can’t wait to see what happens next.


Author's Note

Just for anyone that's wondering, Mavis' outfit is the same as Quite from Metal Gear.

(Also note: It really sucks if you are editing a chapter and the website says 'Ha! NOPE!' and then I have to redo it all again... Rip)
