Chapter 78: Meet a Witch
~Albus POV~
"Ok then… so she wants to join me then?"
"From the looks of it… yeah…"
"Y…es…pl…eas…e…"
After the sudden attachment towards me as well as knowing that Neo has a crush with my own identity and adding the fact that I also gave her own voice she now wants my attention.
Currently we are in a café my treat to Emerald and Neo as we talked what they wanted to do and NOT sneak inside my truck.
I don't want my stuff stolen.
Already paying for the food I glanced over to Emerald and Neo as I already texted to Ghira I might be bringing over guest as I spoke to them, "Hmm… seeing Neo won't leave I don't mind adding another student. Although I could offer the same position as you miss Emerald. Would you like to study under me?"
Blinking in surprise as Neo smiles at the idea Emerald began to talk to me unsure about it, "Really? Not to sound rude but why? I mean aren't you a bit mad for us stealing from you?"
Shrugging my shoulders at that being a victim of thief is hardly one of the bad things to happen to me.
And trust me I can count the worst events happening with my hand.
And that's just coming to Remnant that number increased drastically.
But returning to the conversation I began to shake my head as I casually replied to Emerald, "No. Not really anyway. I have had worse things done to me just coming around of walking in Remnant. But I can guarantee you what I plan to do is change history in the making."
Emerald blinked at me for that one.
She thought about for awhile till I received the text from Ghira as it was ok so long as they don't cause any trouble.
Next I began to hear Emerald response as she began to talk to me hopefully, "Well… hearing what you did in the school and eye witness reports of your abilities… can I ask what is your semblance to do a lot of what you did?"
Smirking a bit I closed my eyes as I replied to her being mysterious about it, "Hmm… if you wish to study under me you would make three people to learn my arts. Of Magic and Science if you would like."
She scoffs at that not believing the magic but she didn't deny the power of my Philosopher Stone being science but the looks on her face is seems a bit on the fence about this.
Even though I would like Emerald to join she has her own reasons to not join.
After awhile though she glances at Neo and sighs out loud as she began to talk to me defeated in her tone, "Sigh… guess I'll come as well. If only you try anything funny with Neo. She may like you but I don't trust you."
She narrowed her eyes at me with those accusations something I can agree with.
I don't blame her for distrusting me.
In fact I welcome it.
That just mean she's not one of those I agree with you or no that's wrong kind of people.
Like those Harem anime girls that simply agree with the MC and don't question his actions.
I prefer people that are cautious around me.
Smiling and nodding at her request I began to reply to Emerald agreeing with her words, "Of course. I would be a fucking pervert or creeper if I was. Would be a good time having someone who knows Neo."
Emerald rolled her eyes but smiled at me as she began to agree to becoming my student to learn my magic as she puts it.
Still having another person equally as loyal as Neo would be Emerald as she goes through nearly everything Cinder does in the future except part 8 where she switched sides finally knowing Salem true goals.
Just the kind of person I want under me.
Or have as a good friend.
Still I got a lot coming to Vale it was such a good –
"Excuse me are you perhaps Albus Burn?"
Huh?
Turning around I saw another person was viewing me as she spoke to me with her glasses as I was surprised to see her here.
Appears to be a middle-aged woman that has very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are bright green and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.
She wears a white long-sleeved, pleated top that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flare in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body is covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black fading into brown stockings.
She wears black boots with bronze heels and a cape that is purple inside and black on the outside. The cut of the cape is stylized to end in flames and arrows, with a row of diamond-shaped bronze beads on the back. Above this line of beads appears an emblem of a tiara that is her personal symbol.
This person here is Glynda Goodwitch as I only needed to see her once to get everything I needed to know using my Ult. Eye to see her past actions and professional studies being a Academy instructor.
That's a plus to me.
But also for the fact that Ozpin wants to personally meet me – Maria…
My eyes widen a bit seeing the whole conversation of there actions wanting me to join there group.
Quickly gathering the return of my situation there was many opportunity to join Ozpin group but…
My spirits warned me about him not them existing outside to learn the truth….
And these spirits are my friends the closest to a family even throughout the whole time.
Smiling a bit and thankful that Glynda hasn't really seen my face I replied to her with a cheerful smile, "Sorry miss but I think you got the wrong guy. The eye is a contact lens that people are showing off in stores. Look there it shows right over there."
Pointing my finger at the side trying to trick Glynda…
She only narrowed her eyes at me before sighing out loud to me before she spoke, "Sigh… No. I'm quite positive that Maria quite told your eye mister Burn. I was wondering if you would please spend your time to meet the Headmaster of Beacon. Nothing too small just some moment of your time."
Well shit…
But considering that she isn't pressuring me I can at least be civil.
Clearing my throat to Glynda as she took a bite of her sweets I replied flatly to her, "Sorry miss Goodwitch. But I'm afraid I have something else to do. Places to go and places to be I'm afraid I'm going to deny your request."
She raises her glasses at me before trying to reason with me as she spoke to me kindly taking a seat with us, "I see but would you like to please reconsider. I know that… Salem is looking for you and we only wish to protect you from her. Even Maria is willing to talk things out with you about past… troubles."
Oh…
She really had to play that CARD huh?
Glynda tries to convince me of my original plan as she calmly spoke to me calming my shaking of Salem from my hand, "Trust us. We know what's best and it's to make sure you remain safe. And will consider having your friends here getting the same treatment."
Going for that blow huh?
Not going to lie it's really tempting especially bringing
Although I would like to talk to Maria again, I have other things to do.
A island to revolutionize but…
….
…
..
.
Sigh…
No I have my goal in mind as I began to talk to Glynda with a smile of my own and promise to make as I responded to her, "No need miss Goodwitch. I can take care of myself just fine and I have been. Besides I have a trip to visit in one of my friends home island."
Standing up with Emerald and Neo following me I see Glynda sigh at me as she tried to stop me as she tries to convince me one more time, "Are you positive about this mister Burn? The Headmaster merely wants to keep you safe. And Maria truly does want to talk to you again. I truly don't want to reserve to violence."
Yeah same here.
But your only following orders to keep me safe as I prepare my magic spell to stop her from following me, "Yeah. I'm completely positive about my choice. But if you meet Maria again though tell her I'm doing just fine."
"Sorry but you will say that to her yourself – "
"Shamak."
*POOF*
Releasing a black smoke towards Glynda way as she gets caught and along with bystanders, I dragged Emerald and Neo along surprised as I spoke to them, "No worries they won't suffer much. Just cut off their senses except there feet sensation but time to hightail it out of here!"
"Is it too late to not come along with you Albus!"
"Yup!"
"Sigh… I hope I get to learn from you at least…"
"Trust me you won't regret it!"
Like that we all flee from the Huntress as the two used their Semblance to confuse the pursuers as it was time to leave Vale.
Time for me to help out Menagerie.
