As then tried to achieve that's goal has I just grew up with such notions in my life and then but as You could see that's if you ever looked at me and my family. But right now, I don't know where I am going, all I wanted to do is make my very family proud but then though I guess it's doesn't mean anything as when I given the chance to becomes a hero things just as didn't go as plan and I realised the dark truth that everything's till now that I was hearing for just stories and theirs only the bright side of it but never The dark side never the truth how much they have suffered and lost in the end how little they gained realising the only told him and his family and his very sister's there family very much triumph over monster but then never wanted them to be sad to know of the very losses and the very things little gain as they just wanted to make sure they live a good and healthy life and just as then I just feel empty now after everything's just feels a bit weird, my family did loved me dearly and they're never want to hurt my feelings but in return I hurt them all I am sorry for just everything I have done to them and As then time just went on and I have met my Angels as I just have even met my enemies, and just still I felt empty everything I have for them all was for nothing as they might be just fighting a war all on there very own I just am stranded somewhere's I don't even know and then when I drop in to this very strangers world I thought I have met my end but then I was then brought back to life by some village girl and her family's as they helped him even it was strange for him as after what he did to penny and just after what happened in atlas and mental and just after everything and everyone's he's has fail over the years and still someone truly unknown helped him as he was crying at this point as they started to help him with his grief and help him up and guidance's him just to a new path and then he did one thing and accepted it and tried to move on with his life and he is still trying for many years by now as then the thing's I started to understand my surrounding's just make some sense the very Fallen Angel's and then the Devil's who just claim to be my friend's as they are just strange and it not how the book of them describe them and as then yet dangerous but I just couldn't bring myself to seek guidance under there very light for the time Unlike the people here, who fight for the righteous way of God, I fight for my family and it very legacy and it is the very duty of huntsman no of knight of Arcade as If anyone heard my thoughts they wold condemn me of heresy, especially my world very belief as the very irony now.

When will I woke up from my dream and as just got off my bed As per usual routine, that was in my home as then I went up to the sink and mirrors in my room and started then started brushing my very teeth and then I could hear my sister's scream at one another and just then started to play with there's food during breakfast as well Today was another day of training for me with cinder being an Hunteruss and working for the family

I do and did love having days like these as I hear from mother that's my very teacher will be coming back as today so I can continue my special training under her again In my free time as I trained by myself the thing's that's she's has taught me in order that I stayed sharp

I took a look in the very mirror and just saw those very

eyes staring back at me and Like my father and sister, I had my family's blond hair as it was long and messy enough for it to be normal for boys my age After doing my usual hygienic routine, as I just went to put on my usual garment's white shirt and as then trousers with a very much my favourite hoodie now My father was a lord of Arcade and old knight of the order as he's was always working around the min city and others towns around us as he's was always showing and tryings to fix world around him and he's always tried to take me and my sister to his work as even then as when I was small kid as I just still remember my twin sister was a devout to his very life work more then me she always tried and sometime succeeding in thing's that he just couldn't do at all as father always said try harder now if you don't as you wouldn't to become region lord like him in the future as I remember how he preferred him still over his sister and as it did hurt him a bit but dad didn't care what's we thought he wanted me to be the next lord of Arcadia and he wanted my sister to be the next line of the family business in Kingdom of Vale as it was that he always is tired and desired then just My mother was more likely the reason to that everything my dad said she would listen to him without any kind of argument more than anything and my other family members would just follow his very lead as till the end without some kind of hesitation of there own just now.

From then the times has just been mystery's as now I just spent growing up in my house fantasizing about everything that I can achieved on day if I keep on just bothering him make me a huntsman and as my sister can becomes a region lord and both of us can be just happy before I did became the man you see today as well life just didn't go as planned as I kept on moving around and forwarded as but I just felt like my life was going in circles I still wonder as what other people in my age would have done or will do right about now As life just outside the remnant just seemed alien to me, but sometimes I feel like it is worth exploring one day as then unlike other people around me I was just born with something that my family wants to bury and they all might have inherited themselves a very dangerous power, that's have passed down from generations till now as the higher ups in vale told me when I first met them, and kept me and my family under watch just so that I and my family don't go out of control. They told me the need to contain it and in order to do that, they wanted to control me and then my family power and it very influences over the continent just then in the end at least they gave me a choice, I ended up taking the huntsman route and then joined hunsman academy. As then I heard a knock on my door and as went up to open it. I see Nora smiling and as waving in her usual upbeat and cheerful personality has For those of you wondering and then "yes" Nora Valkyrie had as some extra pancake this morning with chocolate syrup on the top and with the same black eyes I could but have chestnut-brown cake this morning's "Good Morning fearless leader !!! Don't you feel blessed on this very morning ?" She just then clasp her hands together as then started the bouncer around as it always brought a smile to my face as seeing her like this and as never changing "May the very Lord's of pancakes blessings will keep us with more pancakes safe and as death to the waffle throughout today. Amen!" As She's prayed again before she's looked to me with innocents eye's as "Have you had breakfast yet fearless leader ?" As she's asked me As she's is alway's this enthusiastic.

As I just wish I can be like her at times just so carefree and cheerful sometimes I feel like all the enthusiasm between is made up mainly of her. "Not yet Nora as I was just about to get ready." By the way, without any warning, it gave off a lightning and excitement type of aura around her as I still wonder how did ren keep up with her till now and then I just followed her to the hall of the academy that I have gain to call her home over the few months by now and I could see many familiar faces from carden and his team to velvet and just her team beating their asses right now Oh how I giggled at my there very reaction time, as I kept on moving to the cafeteria as after a few more minutes later I have just made it to academy cafeteria as it was one of the biggest hall I have ever seen in my life as never been these type of places before anyways as I just walked on as I could see many different types of tables and people who we're basically students of this academy young Hunteruss and Huntsman in trainings like him as I just kept on moving around until I saw my friend that I have met during here as there's was blonde girl how's was just making jokes about thing's is my very friend Yang Xiao Long as She's is a Huntress having been trainings as with father before entering Beacon Academy she is a tall and fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and long, thick, wavy bright golden hair that's very fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top, greatly resembling her mother. When her very Semblance is active her eyes become red and really turn red and her hair gains a fiery glow. Aswell as ruby told me that when they run out of gas at home they're use Yang hair and head to make egg and many other things as we'll it did bought her very angry as well and started to set the house on fire now And then own a motorcycles he's called or named her Bumblebee as she's did wears yellow goggles and a matching helmet that's bears her emblem in black on either side as While outdoors she's sometimes wears a pair of yellow-rimmed aviator sunglasses and she's always wear's some revealing clothing as around her very chest side as it just was hard at first not to look at them but I got used to it and then her very weapons of choice are a pair of Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets and she called them Ember Celica and as then there was raven hair girl who was just ignorance her friend and partner was Blake Belladonna as was just reading her very book ninja and love and as she was really trying hard to kill her as she's was just a fair-skinned young woman with wavy black hair and amber eyes and Her very Faunus trait is a pair of black cat ears just on top of her head as During her attendance at Beacon, she did wear's a black, buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirts and super tight white spandex compressions shorts that's reach her upper thighs as with a zipper on the front of each leg has emblazoned with the YKK logo of the life Japanese zipper manufacturer if I thinks about it now

She also did wears black low-heeled boots and as full stockings with a color gradations of black to purple at her ankles as her emblem is visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm is a just black detached sleeved with a silver cuff around her bicep and just black ribbon's are wrapped around both forearms has a small loose black scarf is wrapped around her neck and then as gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair. She just often keeps her very weapon attached to the magnetic backpack when she's is not using it A black ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head, with her cat ears hidden inside the loops. She wears purple eye shadow in cats eye style and that was just mystery on my term but later I feel something strange around it and later figure it out that she was basically was a Faunus and then I didn't know that's she was a white fang terrorist or in others words freedom fighter as she's keep on tells them all as I don't know what to say but I don't mind at all and then there's was just an another one with them as who just was rolling her eye towards them as girl with white hair now as her name was Weiss is a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair that is often pulled back into an off-center ponytail or as braid on the right side and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara as she did

A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and as stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt and as over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist as lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest as she was I really liked her but as then it's was insured that she will never like me back and has after all I asked her on a date but as I was trun down by her more then once and I even play the guitar for her but after a few months later Neptune another boy just her out and as it was everything's was revealed all to him and he never did sturd a chance with her I don't know about it and it was then time changed for me as was the very better choice for me but then and as then the last girl with black hair with red sricks in her hair and

with them was ruby rose his best friend was the very leader of team RWBY in beacon academy and then I still remember to this day what she's was wearing just

During her time attending Beacon Academy, as she's wears a black dress just consisting of a long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves over which is a black waist cincher with as red lacing up the front as and then a just matching skirt with red lining and red petticoat as She's also wear's a pair of thick black tights that just fade to red near the bottom, and as black combat boots with red laces as red trims around the top, and has with red soles her very outfit was still the same and is topped by her very favourite red hooded cloak that she told him belong to her very mother and then it was stitched by her uncle and then it belonged to her mother as it just was the very scene scenario like his hoodie as that his mom stitched it for him and it was then it's was fastened to her shoulders by cross shaped pins as she just basically superhero. Her emblems appears as a large silver buckle on her wide black belt, which is slung around her hips on an angled Attached to her belt are a pocket and a row of bullets as she's carrying around her even then in the cafeteria sometimes and then a d then I sat down as wth them and started to talk with them for a while as it was different from others time's but as in the end now.

And then inteqam came to life and it's ask for my very presence in the headmasters office I panic but in the end I get up from my seat in started to make my way toward's the offices has I cross the hall's of academy.

i was nervous at the times How could I not be ? Every time I just had envisioned going to Ozpin's office for a private appointment, in the morning no less, his fake transcripts always came to mind. A sickening feeling burrowed deep in my very gut as he sat outside of the office door, drenched in sweat. As what's if Ozpin had found out ? What if the cops we're just outside, ready to take me into prison as where's would I no doubt be torn apart ? As I just gulped at the very thought as my very nerves we're running high has I could only hope they didn't find out I paid all the lien as I had just to get them as The very door swung open as but then I just yelped involuntarily, his heart skipping a beat and my body stiffening up like a board. Out of the door came the very she-dragon or she lion of a woman herself as Glynda Goodwitch and as staring at him impassively, completely just undisturbed by the very young man's behavior."Mr Ozpin will see you now." She said to him As then I just nodded stiffly slowly arose from his seat and then walked slowly into the room now as then if I were willingly walking into his own caskets just Inside was headmaster Ozpin and he was sitting at his very desk of which was coated with papers and files and a steaming coffee mug in hand and his very stoic eyes piercing through Jaune's psyche like a spear as After several moment's of just standing silently, Professor Ozpin gestured towards the seat, looking expectantly at I just Shivering despite the fearful heat in his body, has I just sat down and burying himself into the seat. Well, there were no cops or Atlas military men here so that was a good sign as I thought at the moment now.

Ozpin's eyebrow's rose. "Are you okay, young man ?" He asked. " Hm You look as white as a paper sheet on the left side of the desk " As I just didn't respond back to him initially as I was completely at a loss for word's. His stoic gaze returned has albeit darker this time. "If I didn't' know better now but I would assume you had something to hide from me." As he told me "N-no sir!" I just immediately said to him as my voice cracking as he looked at me for a moment there " As Then you've nothing to fear just Ease up Mr. Arc. If your back stays that much stiff you'll never bend it again." Ozpin said, smiling pleasantly at the very young man But as then Upon hearing those very word's I just sighed in relief, his relaxing into the seat and His heart slowed down, along with his erratic breathings He hadn't found out, thank Oum and His secrets was safe for another day. Though that did still raise a question. "Why's did you call me in here ?" I just asked him "Well, about that's." Ozpin started and then taking a quick sip of his coffee

"Do you now remember when you had first arrived at Beacon ?" I felt openly cringed about that's of course he did How could he forget that's ? As just lot had just passed during the many months he's had lived there, though that just still didn't change how truly terribly I just started out For the first four month's of his life in here I still hadn't accumulated a single win and then I did lack of lot of combat skills and experience should have been obviously and though I just had somehow managed to just scrape past by the skin of very teeth thanks to the kindness of his partner by now and as it just that "What about it ?" As I just asked him "Do you recall the missions you've gone through?" As he told him "Which one that sir ?" As I was as nearly cringed again as just remembering the many missions that's I had gone through with my very Team JNPR just now.

As Like the time that all of us we're being sent to them investigate several different sightings of Ursa Majors and Beowulf's in a small village district and that's just located 80 kilometres outside of Vale as I volunteered to be used as bait to get them out of the cave…... that was located 4 kilometres from the village itself and as after few days of investigations and it was that's or let Nora to destroy the entire cave system or in the result will destroy some part's of the village in the proces as now and it was ren and his partner and his wife pyrrha we're against this very idea entirely but they just can't late Nora run wild as well as it was only option left for them and after a few day's later only to run out of the cave screaming like a five year old girl and as when I did saw the Ursa as it was just questioning as it's very reason in life by moments as then even the monsters questioning his very cringess action was has I talking about the time that one of my most more type of very brilliant ideas of letting and as then Nora disguise him to get Grimm out into a clearing and Beings Nora she went overboard somehows as I just somehow ended up in a chicken costume covered in steak sauce, and forced to run up a trees for hour's by the very amount of hungry Beowulves chasing me and Nora just then laughing like a mad woman on chocolate syrup and it was terrible experience as I still think that I still reeked of it and as that just was almost a three month ago by now just as All in all, his records very weren't the best in the school as headmasters Ozpin must have finally noticed it too by now as the very whipping sound's of paper broke the silence as said principle opened one of the files, and began rummaging through one of the papers just stopping at a particular piece of which he gazed at carefully. After a few minutes, the older man spoke again "Your cumulative record as a member of Team JNPR is exemplary with just quite a high rate of success during every missions as the average grade point for your team is very good as well. Though there is one black sheep among the flock here." Ozpin then just eyed me, of whom was sinking further and further into his chair by now "Um…... would that be me, sir ?" As I just asked him meekly. "Indeed ..it would be." As Ozpin have confirmed his suspicions taking another quick sip of his very coffee. "I don't know as suppose you know why is it now ?" As he asked me "Because I'm just that good with my work ?" I asked nervously, trying to lighten the very mood around here just now.

"Amusing." Ozpin said in a complete monotones, his face remaining its daunting stoic posture. "No Let me put this in very much simply terms as while your team record is exceptionally high, your personal scores are not In fact as I'd wager to say you're one of the lowest grading students I've seen in quite some time. You far from meet the standards in any category. Your grades are mediocre at best with your very partner's grades pulling your weight out of obscurity. Your combat skill, aura control and even your lack of Semblance makes it clear that you may not be cut out for this."As he said this to me as each very word was starting hammered viciously into his very heart Fear and guilt were slowly being overpowered by shame, which burned brightly in my very face as I been really been just riding on his teams coattails ? How had he not known ? Had they known ? Oh who was he kidding ? Of course as they knew and as They're were just too kind to point it out. "My position and my brain are telling me to expel you right now, however, that is not what I am going to do." My very head jolted up as his passive gaze widened. "What ? Seriously ?" I am said to him "Indeed." Opzin said. "If I haven't told you enough times already, as if there's is one thing I just can't stand in this world, it's wasted potential, and in no way is that more apparent than in you." The man closed his eyes in thought and silence permeating the air once more Jaune waited in complete anticipation shivering like a baby dear, eyes staring and unblinking. "In accordance to this, I have devised a singular mission for you to do. If you pass, it's will raise you to the point of our standard's. If you fail, you will be expelled as Simple as that." As he told me "A mission sir ?" I asked him and pushing himself forward slightly in his seat. "Where? When? What do you want me to do?" As I asked many questions now. "Patience, Mr. Arc patience " Ozpin said I did as such, waiting for an answers. "I will give you.... the mission details a week from now. In that time, you will acquire a partner to help you..... Whom you choose is up to you." As he's told me "Okay." I said, biting my lip. "Is that it ?" As I asked him and then he looked at me for a moment " Indeed it is, Mr. Arc and Remember One week You will return in my office at this very hour, with another in tow and then Failure to appear will result in immediate expulsion as Do I make myself clear ?" As he told me "Y-yes sir." I just replied back to him barely believing my own luck. "Good as Then you may go."

Hastily, I just rose out of the seat and as rushed out of the door, nearly slamming the door on his foot in the process The locker's became large blurs as he raced down the empty hallway not as caring about his loud footsteps or the pounding's in my own heart and As I just reached the door to Team JNPR's room his very hand grazed the door handle, only to freeze at the last second. Why was I that hesitating ? And This was my very room after all and as Though the cold sweat, and colored-drained skin told me otherwise has I just sigh and let Forget it. I will bother my team just some other time Sullenly, I just trudged my way just down the hall as once more until has I then just entered the combat arena and my family weapon Crocea Mors has wasn't with him, and neither was my shield has I just had left them in his room, and as I just didn't have the heart or patience to collect them as I just hoisted himself onto the cold hard desk surface and laid back as groaning pathetically to myself as in the end I always knew one day I would get in trouble if I we're caught lying on the desks in such a rude manner by miss Goodwitch, but then I truly sometimes as didn't care No one would be up this early in the morning to reprimand me but as in the end Alone time was just what he needed just now.

As I just Staring at the very ceiling as I just pondered my very predicament as while sure it wasn't anything near as serious as I just had once suspected but then it still didn't change the fact that's I was in quite a bad spot as what Ozpin had in store for me was anyone's guess flurry of emotion's spiraled around me and my very system and making my very nerves run high has my very Fear, anxiety, anticipation, and, oddest of all, a wish to prove myself while most of my quivered with fear at the very prospects of my own real life missions against the dangers of the world as he couldn't shake that feeling of euphoria welling inside myself now as then again this could be my chances to rise up to my potential A chance to show everyone that Jaune Arc truly can be a hero like them But he couldn't do it now, as he was. No matter what kind of tough grit I have as

it meant nothing if you didn't have the skill or power to back it up He's just needed to train even harder them before now then rest then Train harder again than he had ever trained before I am was sure my team would help him and then the member's of theirs sister team RWBY had implied that as they would be glad to help him if they want to but as They would be able to help with certain increments that's they themselves we're talented with like his friend Ruby, of course, was very fast on her feet. She's would help him boost his own hopefully. Yang could improve his durability, Ren with aura control, and as Pyrrha with skill and many other things as well as I started to blush just remembering a certain memory of there's moment in the bathroom together With their added skills who knew I just might just pull this off and then Nodding to himself a freshly determined I will forced myself off of the hard surface, pushed open the door, and ran through the halls once more ready for whatever they had to offer to me and it But again life didn't go as plan and still somehow as I keeping see those very campfires all across Vacuo at night and I still wonder what people are sharing, what they're building, the hope they're stoking and as what they'll be saying when this is all over and as what will I have when all of this is over in the end I still wonder.

As then Jaune arc wouldn't miss this as he did need a break from everything and just enjoyed this and jaune kept on wishing that penny was here to witness all of this here she will be thrilled about everything around here and it bought saddest to him that what he had to do in the end but then again she told him to do it but it still hurts him after this long but Jaune will live for her and then enjoy what life can offer him as he's thought and then he started to jogged around the track again and then he was done after twenty minutes later and it was time for him to go home and get ready for work. After twenty minutes later of walking back to his very own apartment as he's then entered his home by just then opening the very door and as the key that he had with him as Jaune then sat down on the sofa and just then waited for little bits before getting up as heading towards the bathroom to change into his uniform as it was time for him to get to work and then after 20 more minutes later he was done with his shower and he put on his uniform and it was time for him to get going as he just doesn't want to be getting late on the last day of the weekend as then Jaune was done with his bath just then he's started to wear his uniform and then he garb his keys to his very bike as today he's will be just taking his other motorcycle as he's started to pick up his lunchbox and then he set out of his home and just then started to lock his very door and as then he just sighed himself and started to move to the very shed to get his other motorcycle as it's was in black colour as it was different from the others one as this one was cheap compare to the other one and it's very old one as it was Kawasaki ninja ZX 1100 and as it was one of his previous clients as he's didn't have enough funds for a property and he did a few more and then Jaune just saw a bike parked in his garage as usual as it was taking dust as the his client noticed his gazes and as just then he had a Idea and he had a solution for there very deal as he just then offered his bike to him for the very fund's and it was shock at first but in the end he's did managed to convinced Jaune to buy it from him.

As that was five month ago and after that's he made just money to buy a Harley Davidson's but that's one was very much expensively and he's didn't wanted to start with the very maintenance and has the petrol it consumers as he was planning on sale it few months later as he's was planning on keeping the ninja as it's expensive but it is still maintainable compared to the other motorcycle he has and then Jaune just started sat on his bike as started to bring it out from the shed and then he parked it and then he started the bike as then he needs to warm it up for five minutes as Jaune was closing the shed and then he started standed as there for five minutes and then he hopped on his bike and started to pump up his bike a little before he wear his helmet and started to drive his bike to the streets. As he started to slowly ride throw the neighbourhood and as then Jaune slowly starting to speed up on the road as then after a while later he made it to the stop light as he stopped as he's saw many few cars on the road and he can see the traffic was good and then as the light come green has then Jaune then increased his troddle on his bike and then he started to sleep up and in a matter of seconds he was on the hallway and he was still amazed by it's very speed as it's was just more faster then Yang's bike as he thought and then he's will need it to his work in time as then Jaune Arc speeding through the very highway of kuoh town now

POV

As for right now life was very boring for her as she just

had just finished her last task of the day and when it's was times to leave the pain struck her back again has her very body was in pain a little and as even her very body very cells was incredibly useful for just healing wounds as faster then other normal human beings as she was used to fighting as with out her armor on her body as she did blocking attacks from enemies has it did help in empower one's attack's But for then all the miraculous wonders it brought and has it did nothing against some sore muscles of her very body now and it was like that for sometime by now as it could be the very stress building up from many year's of workings and she might need a break and then concerned her new tasks was to observe a certain person and it was order from the governor himself and as she needs to fellow them as ' AHH my back' As the sound of crack of her back and bone could be heard has she's really needs a break Not only that in the end as but it is and was a bodily function that let the body know it was in pain at the moment and that the entire nerves system were working in full speed and Otherwise has a super soldier or other species and sub-species that's would be hitting the gym in every day and for heavy painfully workout sessions and use there artificial cells just to repair the very least the damage they received with it, as one of the scientist of the very bureau just keep on mentioning and as then experiment with some secret gears for the fallen angel as he did mention keep it to get better stronger in no time and The slight tearing of muscles and as just then healing there's body and to create new and also very stronger muscles from very exercising was an process that was done naturally at best and the very body would and have recognized it as well as something very natural and so there cell's can wouldn't heal it instantaneously as she imagine it and then again those are scientist to begin with now.

As the same logic was applied to there poor and that was sleeping posture and others sources As she put her hand on her back of her neck to relieved the pain she was feeling at the moment and as she's still just blamed her boss and people's around here for these pains in her mind by now and she looked up to see a little sign with as a light on top of it as well She didn't concentrate where's she was going as then as when she stumble upon something's else or a weird place that she consider was destroyed with the other side.

THE CROWBAR REOPENING

As then the light shined on her face as she started to observe the place as Kalawarna started narrowed her very eyes down at the very sign and started to quickly looked around her surroundings as She was sure she wasn't in the shadier parts of city but rather in a more modest place but then as she still walked into the red light district as where crime wasn't the most prevalent and though with all the recent attacks and robberies and an smuggling has just nowhere in the very least continent was crime free and She's looked at the sign again and pondered about it and that's sign lead to a two-story building that have just seemed respectable at best but she's just suspected as very possible an underground level's facility at best but again this very place might have proper bed then what we have back in the church but then again who cares as she just did need a drink as she's signed as Kalawarna started to walk into the bar now she's was a very tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye just her attire consisted of very maroon has just trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt and black heeled shoes as The very trenchcoat top was open at her chest giving view to her breasts and cleavage as she's also wore a gold necklace around her neck and She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom and very reason for her suspicions ? As the very Massage that's very parlors and bar were sometimes another code word for it in the end as the very underground brothels and terrorist base as a bar that has a record of many different drunken marriage and died n the past and Those places were just quite well known in world as she and yet almost impossible to eliminate due to how many would use and support them, and some of those with power and as influence used them to relax and she have seen them but not in this town as that was an very much a surprise for her.

In the major parts of the Morden Japan as just did as outlawed these places in the past but as it was a very difficult task to enforce those laws at time and as then There were still some existing within shadier districts of the other towns and cities in Japan as but the very police were as overburdened just with others tasks to even attempt to try to find them and as They just also usually hid themselves pretty well in the end as we'll as from other and from the law in just planes site but as they did managed to just attract some customers daily from here and there's and some of them end up married to some completely stranger's in the end and then they get murder in the end by them as Their very source of incomes not only came from the daily very routine of customers and but most likely the owner's of this joint also had other businesses to help cover it up and this very bar know as very the entire Crowbar was very famous in back of the day in her home town as well and now it is here in Japan in the commercial district as in it plane sites as they just Might have just moved here since the beginning fell and as there was nowhere to go back to and then they might Target the Academy and civilians in the end again but she's just care a less as this kind of places are where's her kind come to stay and to get drunk and to relaxs just now. And then Ultimately, there's were other less onerous tasks to care about than finding theses house's of ill repute that may or may not exist But as for her this is place as the very opening the big Brown door and just entering in, as she was inside and she's was ready for anything but she just did ignored the closed sign and wanting to catch them all by surprised put them in jail or she could have just expose them before they could even attempt to do anything wrong but and what was inside the very place just surprised her very at least.

As then Kalawarna just kept on blinked as she started to took in the sight that's was just in front of her as the environment around her was just curious as she was met with just a very nostalgic feeling has She's found herself in a waiting room and quite like a clinic's or a office room as where one can waited to be either see a physician or dentist or as there's her boss or family members at best As the very wallpapers was an light teal color and something's pleasant to the eye's and tasteful On the walls were photos to help the patient or customers to relax in and as along with a bar in the middle as and just then along sides with a magazine cabinet filled with many different magazines of at the

latest trends, news, etc and as There were even a few comics in them or she's was definitely sure that there was some manga place with them as she's didn't like those manga's or comic's as she just not a big fan of them as one of her friends and colleagues then she is more of a realistic type of person But In a corner was a vase of flowers on a table that's added to the decor and just along with a few rather comfortable chairs for waiting patients at best as it was just bring back some memories now as her time when she was an angel as she's haven't fallen yet back in heaven And as then of course that was in the front of the room was a window and the door next to All in all and as it certainly wasn't something expected to see in her entire life but she's still kept her guard up and could be just a front to trick her andas the authorities from investigating further in this place as that might be bad for her and but then it could be one of the devil's putting her leg but as then again but then Suddenly the door opened up in front of her, and a brown hair woman and then a green hair teenage boy as both started to walked out of the very room just behind them as struggling to carry a rather large sign as then he just turn and saw Kalawarna as she was just standing there in front of the very much counter table and as he started to muttered "Hmmm, I thought Sarah just put up the closed sign few hours age ? Well hold on, let me just finish this first or I can serve you some drinks" as he told as Kalawarna then started to walk up to the bar and sat down on the very chair and layed in and then 'I can get used to this now as she's thought at the very least and looked around.

TWENTY MINUTES

POV

As after twenty minutes of walking around the streets of kuoh as it was one of the refreshing walks he's ever had and without any kind of worry as he's has made it back to the convenient store as It was medium size of a store as it was not that very big like as well know like family market or Metro or 7 eleven but it is still made it name around here Among the locals here and plus it as a gas station as well has they use petroleum as it's fuel or another like diesel as he's explained and jaune kept on reading different types of articles in the store itself has to offer for newspapers to magazine's as he started to read and learn differently things from it and he will be learning more about his very surrounding's and as the rest Jaune Arc will learn another thing just from history class later in school as he remember has one of articles stating that demand for electric car are going to be more in the near by future as the prices as for petroleum and diesel are going up and oil and well then they have have a solution to count it as it is a just good idea but then again they don't or couldn't need to park around the gas station anymore as it was just made from electricity and it might spark and just then might be a problem and then they need to change as just they need to go to different places for charge like a charge station of there own as he thought as he just

learned about so many thing's so far now about how thing's work around here as how did the auto industry was build and then again Japanese peoples just how they built there first electrical car was in the 1940 now

As then the very government launched major electric vehicle research and developments project's starting in 1971, and which led to prototypes with a significant range per charge as the very time Environmental very concerns in the very 1990s led to more many serious development, which prompted the release of the first mass-produced electric car, the Nissan Leaf, in 2010. Mitsubishi launched its i-MiEV in 2009 as with sales to the general public in 2009 Others models followed. Toyota introduced the first hybrid vehicle the Prius, in 1997. As This has made Japan it major leader in very much hybrid technology and with many different way and countries like Japanese manufacturers focusing more on hybrids than pure electrics until recently now

As People around this very world are very fascinating created great and beautifully cars with many different category and it's very class in mind as a few decades has passed since then and they have created electric cars to make sure that's gasoline and diesel and with petroleum would not be needed in the future it was an economy problem and it harmful for the environment that what the very textbook truly says but he's doesn't knows the true reasons behind its but as for his boss his business basically is all about petroleum and their ain't any petroleum or diesel cars that's in Tokyo that often as he has seen there's were more electric cars now as it basically cheaper and more reliable than a diesel powered car now or a more expensively Jaune just doesn't knows that's much himself as Jaune just has petroleum sports bike and that all he has for now.

As when jaune come near the very main door as he's was greeted with counter with some customers we're in the store all ready as they we're looking around the very shelves for some items to buy as he's started to look around as he can't see his colleague or his boss anywhere at all maybe he's might be in the bathroom right now, As Jaune thought and then Jaune was now starting to getting started as the entire situation's and started to take actions as he started to slowly walked up around the very corner of the hall next to the main counter of the store as Jaune entered inside of it as it was a storage room as we'll for the store as It's going to be a good day for him and for the boss as well now. As then he's just then start to change in to his uniform as wearing a green dress shirt and an then with black cargo pants and with a green apron around him as he was really ready to work now as Jaune step out of the storage room and as then he's want towards the main counter and has then wait patiently for the customer's come to him As with jaune as he just as wait patiently and has then Jaune Arc had a smiled on his face now for the customer as a old woman came up to the main counter as after a few mins later after her another one was behinds her as she's was done as she left for her home as the a old man was waiting for her patience's

to leave as she left the counter and then he started to come up and now in front of the counters now has the man let out a gruff 'hello' in Japanese in return to him as he just placing his own items in front of him as jau was instantly knew the man was an a office work has he was tall and he had a black suit and a briefcase in his hands His hair was a little bit gray at the sides and it was more hidden as he was wearing some reading type of glasses on his foreheads and he bit stressed.

As he just rung the items up and as he was averting his gaze from the customer for a moment as He will see and collecting the items as there was Coca-cola: ¥172 / $1.16 USD for 500mL as then customers just asked jaune just pass him the pack of cigarette's has Jaune nodded at him as he started to open the very cabinet behinds him as the store owner Have just all the Cigarettes are kept behind as the counter within a cabinet as where's jaune was told by him personally and he 'll have to ask the clerk for them and provided him next as for the prices of a typical pack of normal cigarette's ranges from ¥400 to ¥530 and as with the item is an Tuna and as egg sandwich: ¥289 / $1.95 USD and then with as Tuna mayonnaise onigiri: ¥149 / $1 USD as this was just is actually a very good deal considering how expensively cheese is just here now as he was exploring himself as he's truly recommend 7-11's a cheese rice with chicken and broccoli for the best amount of nutrientsas If he did have access to a kitchenette but he could just also buy some Lawson's frozen cheese pasta and a add a pre-cooked chicken breast and just some frozen veg for a more complete meal as for a full homemade meal sign him in. "Your total is ¥ 1,010 / $ 4.12 ( as without cigarettes in USA CURRENCY ) as will you just be paying with cash or card ?" As Jaune ask him as he's was looking at him.

"Shit! What's so expensive ?" The man pulled out his card as he's was handing him as Jaune took his card before swiping it and then a beep sound come from the computer as he just can see the number's on the screen as it was good for as the purchases was done as Jaune started to hand back the card back as to the customer as Jaune can't tell that the customer was a little bit of grumpy at matter right now so maybe clear his misunderstanding as he frowned sheepishly, "It's the cigarettes sir they're cost around ¥400 to ¥530 a pack." As Jaune told him as then the man just cursed under his breath, "just Should have quit when my wife told me too well what done is done now." As he's said this as he just waved at jaune as a good bye "Have a safe trip home sir." jaune called after the man as he's left the counter as he's started to leave the store and then back to the main street as Jaune saw him leave. As Jaune sight as he's had been working for the old man named Akimitsu aakuza and he owned the gas stations and convenient store since he's was twenty as he inherited from his father since he passed away in a early stage of war as then aakuza learned all the ropes since then as well it was a long time by now as aakuza in the age eighty since that day as it's was 60 year's ago he did worked just almost everyday his life after his own father passings but now thing's are very much different as compared from before as he's was just started to age up as he's needs help and then to make the matter worse he was an old man and then recently his wife health had declined a bit after some times now and his very own son's and daughter they live abroad now after some family's drama broke out.

As then for aakuza could only just work a day or two a week and if that all he can manage in the end he was used to working all day by himself for a very long time now and as he's started to just spend more time in his home with his wife as then everyone around here just know about there very situations and tried to just help them but he refused them all as then everyone else in neighbourhood started to buy and as just become his very own regulars has they say they liked the people around here as well this is there's big family and there very community and the very local's as known him as his wife for a long time by now as they were very older people around here as well the very elders couple as many of members of community are old family but as compared to aakuza and his wife they're are like very

grandparents of the very community's now and many of the people know each other for generations now as the neighbor's lives near his store and home just few blocks from here now as many of them are here very much thankful towards aakuza and his wife over the years of there very support to everyone around here as then as some of the police officers and even some gangster even come to visit them often as even bring presents sometimes as being with their own parents place now when they were young orphans As who's came through the store are the local people's around here this area as Jaune remember one of people's 'In the words of one Generation X informant is that's is a konbini are 'like the air that's you can just breathe' as what's ever that's means now as then aakuza and his very family's was the native of Tokyo and is one such example Hanzo was in his late twenties when his wife just quit her job with Tokyo television company's back then and then as spent a year and all her very savings travelling around as Europe and U.S.A and then In an few month later as she just mail her friends and family members about her very adventure's in the another's country's as she's just did just lamented that the one thing the countries she visited lacked were some did not exist like konbini like in Japan at all. As just so she took matter in her hand's as she just reported that's in that countries like France and United Kingdom there were small shops to buy things, but that's they we're not open all hours at best did not stock much for him to read, and lacked the kind of food as she wanted to eat at best as What's she Aiko longed for most was a konbini onigiri as other words (rice ball) and has Well-known as Japanese celebrities in that time also have a very fondness for konbini So then after few year's later she decided to move back to Japan and as start her life again in Tokyo as she wants back to her family home she's then just tried to find her new job under a magazine cover company and she's took the address when they told her she is hired and as then few day's later a day was given to her to come to the company magazine publishers personally as a few weeks later after the interview she got the job as she was going to drive there in her family old car as she's just bought a and as it was an antique at this point now but until her car just decided to broke down so her car was Parked next to the gas stations that the old man owned at the time as she's was just stranded and as she wanted a mechanic to help with her car and as she's will be late for her job now as she's just doesn't have time to now to spear and then she had as then wanted to go to her job As she's was going to be late or her first day then she's a young now he's started to hear some noises outside of his store as he looked outside Just through the window and just saw a her for the first time there's life she's met him but the first time in her life that was magical advanced for at least but as she's didn't have enough money to pay him but He refused to take any money from her as he told her that Take him back one day when you have enough money fast gas as that's was the day Just started to talk and meet each other As that's how the both of them met each other for the first time in there life's and he arranged her a taxi and then she was gone as he started to fix her family car.

As that was thevery day their destiny was intertwined with one another as when she often finished with her work at the office She's used to come to visits him at his gas station and they started to talk to one another about theirs life and then there very dreams as about their achievements and whatevers they want to do in life as it was of a beautiful relationship between them they became friends and as both just then started to discussed the more they both realized they we're just the same in many things as there very time starting to passed between them as well five more years passed they both one day confessed to one and another now As then both of them decided to get married with one another as both of them felt as the same way for each other after their marriage they had their first son Then after another year another one now then they had two daughters twins and as then another 3 years as they had one child and it's was a boy They stood by each other side after that's They did fought each other and had argument's but as they just never let that destroy them They kept on going further and tried to forgiven each other and make peace with it and as they're had fun he cared with each other as they were friends still didn't know what they will do without each other so a few more years later she decided to quit her job and stay at home to take care of her kids and has him has them they start to spend more times together as they explore theirs hobbies together even further as they want on trips with their families across the world and even helped the locals more as their elders in this city of there Slowly by slowly their children who grew up and they wanted to do something for themselves as Studied hard enough as to go to university in abroad one by one all over children's as went abroad leaving these two behind as it's just been many years by now as they were still wondering if the children have gone married by now and They might have as they weren't even invited into their weddings but they did not mind at all as they had each other to live their lives like this for a very long time as now both of them are on there '80s as theirs children's don't wizard them at all They just called them and tell them they're okay as they're always busy with their very work and as their families.

As he and his wife decided to expand their business a little more as they both build and purchase more land around them and build a bigger convenience store in the entire region now and then started to help others in there very time of need and jaune was one of those people who they helped as to piad them back he just give them all he has to offer as then in the same time he gets to read and learn more about his surrounding and then More about Japan and it's very relationship with the world just often than not Japan's remote but inhabited islands and very mountain as communities are disconnected from the convenience grid view but This is largely due to the fact that populations are too small to support stores or as the distribution logistics too costly and as the very least complicated to attract companies as the very proximity of a given locations to a konbini is an accepted measure of geographical remoteness in Japan as one of the articles say as he was going to read now as he sat down on the chair as looked at the security's cameras and the magazine in his hand as then just in 2004 has just in Daily Yomiuri newspaper ran a story about the very olympic women wrestling team and as it's preparations for very world competition in as bucolic corner of Niigata Prefecture and as then Deep in the very mountains of Niigata as the very sounds of many different bodies that's we're just then slamming to the mat wafts has then through the nearby rice fields. It is here, nine kilometers from the nearest convenience store and as well away from the hustle and bustle of city life and as that a group of Japan's brightest hopes for gold medals in Athens as are preparing for very battle and then This too, is now changing as companies like Lawson and as 7-Eleven experi-ment with mobile store units as Spurred on by rapidly ageing populations and has relief efforts in the wake of natural disaster's and just larger chains have developed refrigerated vehicles that are reminiscent of the trucks. As for jaune was used to working all day as he liked the people's who came through here as It was a frequent stop for just everyone's as Although it wasn't always busy as before but as it was interesting to see who came through and where they were going in the end before he's goes back to his room to sleep before his shift is over by midnight now but Until then he's will just wait patiently as he's will turned his head back to his manga as was given to him berserk as he just slumping in his chair as he's turned the first page as he was just frozen on the first sight of the page as he don't want to describe it at all as he was somehow he was intrigued what happened next and then as he saw guts as he just was blowing her heads off With a Canon "Nice" as Jaune Arc said as he started to read the book with He just after that jaune just wish that life can be just this simple and ad then he started to hear just something else as he's saw lights as then Jaune Arc just started to recognise that very sound and he just started to frow as well it was one thing trouble as then he just jinxed himself now " Just fucking great".
