Chapter 37: The Witch and Champion (5)

~Albus POV~

Sighing at this…

And glancing at my MAP there is no Grimm in the area it's better to not get ahead of myself. Picking up my Scroll Pyrrha glances at me as she replied questioning me, "Albus? What exactly are you doing?"

Replying to Pyrrha with a scenery voice to her caring for her safety than my levels right now as I replied, "I'm calling us a Bullhead back to Beacon. I don't want to further endanger my allies while trying to train."

Objecting to this Pyrrha wanted to refute this as she is really too kind for me honestly as she spoke passionately, "But… but how else would you get stronger faster then? You can only do so hunting Grimm but as our friends, we can't help but assist you. Don't you trust your teammates?"

Nodding at this I knew I can trust them but their health is also my concern as I replied to Pyrrha my reasoning to her, "I may want to become stronger Pyrrha… but not at the cost of my allies being tired. In the wilds at that. I have to make sure we all get out of this as everyone under me is also under my care I also have to be careful of their safety including yours."

The surprise was evident on her face but nods in understanding sadly.

Replying to her sadden expression I smirked happily at her of other options than the early grinding of the day, "Don't be sad Pyrrha. Doesn't look good on your cute face. Next time will have Nora and Ruby along for safety next time. Plus we could always spar to pass the time if it pleases you?"

Pyrrha takes my words into consideration as she smiles at this accepting the nod as she replied happily at this, "Very well then Al. How about in compensation you treat one of your teammates for a meal? If you don't mind of course?"

Grinning at her with a nod of acceptance I replied to her as the Bullhead was coming over, "No worries Pyrrha. I'll do it for the best of friends after all for coming this far go all in. I have plenty to spare."

Laughing a bit of this she humbly accepted it as she responded towards me with a hip on her step, "Hahaha… In that case, I won't be afraid to order how I please then Al. then when we're done eating we can take our time to train in spars."

Agreeing to that we both began to see the Bullhead approach us as they let us on board as we take this time to move forward ahead.

As we fly away from the Emerald Forest I began to observe the other forest on the large range of the Forever Falls forest as I managed to view the White Fang member titles in the distance as my MAP recognized it.

<Observe>

< [Bane of Humans]

Adam Taurus Lv.147 (7350/7350 HP)

Adam was part of the Faunus labor force that served the Schnee Dust Company. Adam was branded with the SDC logo on his face, scarring him and seemingly blinding his left eye. Fueled by this inhumane treatment, and his growing personal vendetta, Adam found the home he was looking for in the White Fang, where he was accepted and loved; his happily ever after.

Reputation with Albus [-99/100]>

Hmm…

Yeah I feel like I would die real quickly from that...

What should I do exactly on them?

For now, maybe just nothing for the time being if Adam is around but also the chance of Cinder coming could complicate things. Also, what should I do for the time being since classes are going to start tomorrow?

~Third POV~

After that Albus took his time and treat Pyrrha to a good lunch and paid her for the help but as kindly as she is refused it because it was a friendly thing to do with teammates. Reluctantly agreeing to her the both of them began to enjoy their company.

The two talked to each other mostly about Pyrrha's past about how she became who she is as Albus talked to her about some common sense of sorts to her pointing out some of her childhood memories to a degree.

Soon when they finished eating lunch they both began to have some sparring matches increasing Albus' <Mixed Martial Arts> skill with her as he moves around while grinding up against his <Gyro-Telekinesis> at the same time.

Albus made sure to increase his body weight by x2 gravity to get better used to it while grinding more time to increase his skill level at the same time. In the process, while doing so practice other of his Telekinesis skills in the process.

Time took the time of the two as they continued to train further till it was finally 6 pm at the night providing the students their free dinner with the members of Team GRNN talking to each other as well as Team RWBY speaking with them.

…

…

While inside the cafeteria enjoying Ruby was talking to Albus as she was reminded of something before replying, "Oh yeah! Albus, I managed to find some of the weapons you wanted. Didn't know what you wanted so I got some of the elemental set."

Perking a smile on his face Albus began to talk to Ruby in a grateful manner as he replied to her happily, "Really! Sweet. Thanks, Rubes I owe ya one for this. So what is the elemental set you got for me anyway?"

Smiling at this Nora replied to Albus with a grateful expression on her face as she spoke, "She got you the whole shebang. Infused Fire, Lightning, Wind, Water, Earth, and Gravity Dust infused daggers as you requested. Also, thanks for spending Lien on our ammo and food supplies."

Confusion soon became apparent in his eyes as he didn't know what Nora meant as he asked confused, "Wait food supplies? Last, I check we don't own a mini-fridge so how – Ought! "

He was then interrupted with Ruby stuffing his face with cookies seemingly out of nowhere as she quickly changes the subject embarrassed as she spoke, "Ahm! Nope never mind her Albus you know how Nora is with her pancakes even though it's inferior to cookies she's just talking random stuff again like the coffee thing. Hehehe…"

Glancing in suspicion and betrayal in her eyes Nora thought to herself playfully in shock, 'Nani! Ruby why must you throw me under the bus!'

However, before Ruby could sigh in relief Pyrrha then questions the group as Albus stuffs down the cookie seemingly please as she spoke confused, "Why does that sound like an issue? Couldn't Albus just look into his account to see his Lien amount going? Ruby why are you paling?"

Albus seeing this looked surprised as he responds quietly to himself thinking he could only hear himself as he talk, "Wait that was an option? Guess I forget how normal things are at times… really need to remind myself of that."

However, Blake managed to hear his voice as she cast a narrow glare at him but only lasted a brief moment before returning to her usual quiet self as she thinks to herself, 'No wait, Blake. I need to befriend him to know how he REALLY knows my past. It's bad enough that I have to deal with a Schnee but at least she managed to be humble in supporting me but if she knew I was a Faunus… how would she react…'

Shaking her head at this Yang pulls a hug in with her sister minding their own business as she pats her head much to Ruby's annoyance, "Ahh… look at you cookie monster already getting your sweets this soon in the week. No worries about being able to handle your cookie problems now won't it dear sister?"

Ruby finally got out of the struggle as Ren replied to Nora in-kind matter as he spoke, "Nora… how has this team been treating you?"

Nora replied in her usual cheerful manner to her childhood friend as she spoke energetic to him, "Great! I mean it would be better that you were with me along in this team but… I guess we need to grow out at some point right?"

Ren nods in understanding making Nora somewhat hurtful for a second that doesn't miss Albus' eyes and Blakes but won't question it as he replied in a friendly manner, "Good. I think we needed this to be a part of to start. We've been looking after each for a long while I think we need some time to separate for now and grow right?"

Nora nodded her head as she kept her thoughts to herself trying to keep up with the cheerful atmosphere. Albus then glanced at Weiss as he began to apologize for the first day meeting her as he spoke surprising her, "Weiss Schnee. I would like to apologize for disrespecting you for the first week here and – "

"Stop."

However, that was when Weiss stopped Albus before he could continue as she replied to him in the same manner to him, "Sigh… I guess our first meeting with each other wasn't exactly the best way. So… how about we place it water under the Bridge for now and reintroduce ourselves without the drama. And also Ruby Rose."

"Epp!"

Hearing her name Ruby flinched a bit before Weiss formally apologized to her making Yang happy seeing this as she responded, "I apologize for disrespecting you during our first day. I hope in the future we become huntresses so I'm sorry for my first day treating you."

Ruby surprised by this takes the apology as the group made up with each other bringing a smile on Albus' face.

Albus seeing the scene is very happy at how things are going as he thinks to himself happily, 'This whole being in another world experience is great and all. And the people here are really… alive… and it really makes it great to live.'

Glancing at them Albus gained a new goal in life as he views the characters – no people talking to each other he thought to himself with a new goal, 'Ok. It's settled now… for what I want to do is make sure I leave a lasting impression of this world. Leave my mark in history with the people here remembering my name.'

Like that with a new sense of hope and goal in mind he began to get ready to tackle the world ahead of him with people like them on his side….

His thoughts were as he took the time before he finally went to sleep for the night training for the next day, 'Being transmigrated wasn't a bad experience so far. I have no idea what I would do if I was isekaied good that that didn't happen.'

Game on.
