Chapter 94: Pleasant Times

~Maria POV~

"Sigh…"

Sighing out loud resting in my new home in Vale and no word of Albus I began to rest my body on the bed after everything the past year.

One year and even the so-called Headmaster of Beacon can't seem to find one boy in the world.

Granted a trained one but still to be fair it's in the great open world.

And Salem searching for him not hearing any news haven't made things easier especially with Curses coming around from the old wizard of Oz says a new threat to humanity.

A threat that he can say that belongs to Salem he says.

There might be truth to his words but nothing concrete yet so I withheld any words at this time.

But all in all my life have been going swell ever since I met with Albus.

Cured me of my aging and returning my eyesight as well as my Silver Eyes normal again I couldn't help but laugh at the good memories no matter short was great to feel.

Heck I even managed to meet up with that missy Cinder Fall in a team in Beacon as one of her personal favorite professor in Beacon since those girls from the alternate world are fussy about her.

Guess they can't get used to the fact that Cinder is a changed girl under Albus influence.

Sigh…

I swear that kid has a knack for getting into trouble but just as much as saving those in need.

And then there is the Cursed Cultist news in Mistral that one of there cities are burning the crime filled one I mean.

Man…

Really glad I left Mistral when I have otherwise, I would be in real trouble just walking the streets.

And there leader also alarmed me a few bells of the Cultist being praise there Cursed King or Albus name.

I immediately scoffed at the idea.

I mean I know Albus Burn wouldn't just one day 'oh I have a great idea I'll make a fucking Cult to do my wishes' I mean what would be the point?

Plus the senseless destruction of the area?

"Hah!"

I laughed at the idea as there is no way the kid would build a Cult in his name I think they might be followers that he saved with his fancy alchemy is all.

*Gulp*

Taking a small sip of wine as I began to work out the reports of Cinder Fall and her Team FALL about their grade reports.

Did have to admit that she surprised me and was against me at first she sooner warmed up to me to teach her all I knew even going with the same fighting style I have because I was best of the best during my era.

Ah…

Good memories.

Welp.

*Clap*

Clapping my hands together I began to get the paperwork done with for the day and get busy to hunting Grimm.

~Cinder POV~

Sitting in my own dorm room in Beacon Academy I have to admit everything was definitely different when I first came here.

Especially the written exam and practical exam of passing joining for the next four years with people I would consider as allies.

Although they have their quirks my real loyalty will always be with Albus as he saved me from that fateful day.

Hehe.

I promise myself to be useful one day and learning under the best era of Hunters like Maria the Grimm Reaper was certainly a surprise to see her in Beacon.

I was at the fence about her but gradually came to see her as a perfect teacher for me to teach under.

If Albus took the time to have her teach him then he must have thought of her ideal instructor to fight to which his mind knows no bounds of his plans.

He used Maria as a means to get stronger and when she bear her fangs to capture him he carefully evaded with Magic something I thought to be fairy tale is in fact real.

Even with my Spirits supporting me I was strong enough to manifest my very own weapon or as Albus says a Device.

The power of Magic and Soul fused to become one practically another semblance but in a form of an indestructible weapon.

He also said there were many abilities and that just by having the weapon will automatically unlock the power of the user has by wielding them.

My Device was in a form of dagger with a red crimson color of the balde like form as I knew it was the concept of Heat I wield as the concept Heat as it matches my semblance perfectly.

Although it enhanced my ways to use my Device it's name <Lady's Grace> allows me to heat anything up to whatever degrees I want so long as I can handle it.

Still on objects it simply melts through them and when I tried it on a student as a light experiment it simply BURNED her soul because of the heat.

That is a very useful Device that my <Lady's Grace> has.

But that wasn't all oh no… I can sense them.

Albus plan to introduce magic users are being felt by those who have an affinity or have spirits to tell what's going on in Remnant.

Things are going to change.

All because Albus plans it so and as such I have heard news of the Cursed Cultist in Mistral as well as his named being used.

Out of all the ways Albus choose the Cultist route as well as his previous victims of abused followed suit to form an organization all to serve him and his plans truly Albus thinks too far ahead.

He even gave the order to burned down a corrupt town in Mistral Territory as the Cursed Cultist have been getting bold as of late and with news of new powers showing I smiled hearing the news.

Those corrupt bastards deserve it.

And not only that the Cursed Cultist have begun to trend with some other kingdoms causing some issues within them accepting to their religion and the news of Vacuo having a shadow war of sorts against a squid thing?

Hahaha!

That was what most people don't help because of how stupid it sounds and even adding Grimm too it not every Kingdom came because they realized that the Vacuo started it but then one day ended when the new water supply ended.

Whatever the weird Grimm or squid was is long gone by now as the people of Vacuo got nothing in return except be weakened in the end.

Although there were those weird Professors in Combat Class just eyeing me almost with malicious intent at times even though they are the weird one's with mask on them inside the school?

Ren, yellow, black, and white just seems to eye me funny?

Although it was the yellow and black one, I felt the bad intent my way?

Did I offend them in some way or something?

While the idea did cross my mind, I choose to ignore it as they haven't done nothing to me as I focus on my Academy work with my team.

They are people I trust along with Maria to a fair degree of course but sometimes I wonder what Albus is doing other than being in Menagerie helping the Faunus.

Sigh…

Sighing out loud as I rest the book for studying on the side I began to go to sleep as I have much to do for tomorrow with our team and class collecting saps in Forever Falls with Glynda best get some good night sleep.
