There was something special about snuggling up with a rather musclar woman, sure Pyrrha wasn't some kind of muscular monster of bulging muscles, but her muscles were well cut and defined as she had scuplted her body to be a perfect vessel for her martial and magical might.
But regardless of how good of a warrior that Pyrrha was, she was a bit of a girlfailure as she floundered in social situations, especially intimate ones. And would just melt into a mushy puddle of affection that just 'suckerpunched' me with kisses as she didn't know what to do.
As our movie came to an important arc with the foreign princess and doctor getting a bit handsy with one another in the middle of an alleyway of all things as they evaded Atlas's secret police.
Pyrrha flushed as the doctor began playing with the princesses breasts and she looked between me and the movie as she laid on my side now so she could watch the movie as well.
I myself seeing the very unsubtle hints, gave her a squeeze around the chest just below her breasts as our position was a bit awkward to be getting to handsy without being unable to watch the movie.
And I think, I think that Pyrrha was wanting to watch the movie. And not me just turning it off and putting her straight into a mating press like with what Nora would have wanted.
But as though in answer to my thoughts of where this night was ultimately going to go, a loud chime went off from my phone and it was clearly a message from Lux as that chime was her specific tone. "That's my master, it might be important." I spoke with a slight sigh as I saw Pyrrha pout and close her eye's.
I reached over to the table and I pulled out my scroll and I quickly read the message before blinking as Pyrrha's scroll likewise made a noise. "Well this is good new's I guess. We will be part of a smaller celebration for doing the best during the Class Trial, and we will be able to go through the Holy Baptism with the church."
Pyrrha who was reading her own scroll gave a wry smile before she said quietly. "Weiss, Jingliu, and I, were asked politely not to attend such a celebration... Seeing as in but a month you and other's will be fighting off raids from Atlas and Mistral."
I exhaled hearing that and I asked quietly. "Will you still be able to do the baptism at least?"
We both put down our scrolls but thankfully Pyrrha smiled softly and said in amusement. "Correct, despite what Vale and the other kingdoms think. The Church of Light isn't bound to any one of the kingdoms so Weiss, Jingiu, and I are still welcome to the Baptism."
I nodded and the message kinda ruined the mood so I just rolled us both over a bit so Pyrrha was face first into my chest and I just had my arms around her. "It will take care of itself." I muttered as I just relaxed.
Pyrrha likewise feeling and hearing my evening of breath likewise understood I was getting ready to truly go to sleep, so she just grabbed the remote that was next to us and turned off the tv and then she wrapped both her arms around my back as she rested her head on me.
-
Several hours later, I was happy that the apartment was cold as shit, as waking up sweaty due to two bodies sharing the naturally produced body heat could get pretty nasty and be a major turn off.
And as I woke up, I quickly realized that Pyrrha was a very heavy sleeper so I decided to be nice and I went into the kitchen and after looking through her mostly empty fridge, I just shrugged and used my Admiral Essence to create the food I needed.
Seeing as Pyrrha was very health conscious, I started off with some rehydrated egg's being made into a lovely scramble that was made extra fluffy via some milk I added that I also laced with some protein powder being added into the milk.
Then with a large plate of eggs, I added some shredded chicken that was lightly seasoned with just salt and pepper so it wasn't too strong.
For sides with that dish, I made a side plate of protein pancakes that had part of the powder mix replaced with protein powder in making the batter.
And lastly, to help Pyrrha for later. I began meal prepping a couple dozen salmon, chicken, and steak burritos that I put in some plastic baggies and then put into the freezer so she could easily re-heat them for later.
It was just as I was putting away the meal prepped stuff into the freezer that I heard Pyrrha as she was leaning on the doorway of the kitchen.
I looked over to her, and I couldn't help a chuckle as she flushed and she spoke softly. "I have a new fetish... A good looking guy being shirtless and his muscles covered up by the apron he is wearing."
"Am I being objectified right now?" I asked with humour as I pointed a spatula at Pyrrha who was silent for a moment before she nodded.
And as she came over to inspect the large breakfast spread, I waited until she came and sat down before I came around behind her to pull the dishes close to her.
Then as she Pyrrha looked up at me to say 'Thanks' or something. With one hand I gently gripped her jaw and tilted her head up so I could kiss her.
Then as Pyrrha gave a hum of joy at the kiss that hum became a yelp as my other hand sneaked up her low-cut shirt and I massaged her ample breast and with my hand brushing over her hard nipple before I pulled my hand broke and broke the kiss.
Stepping back and around the small eating table. I got to see Pyrrha just stare at me blankly at how I ended the kiss and titty grab so quickly, and without a word I left her to feel objectified as I began casually eating!
Pyrrha just gave me the most adorable pout before she began eating, and then she ate with gusto, happily, as she obviously found the food good.
"So, what are your plans for today, Jake?" Pyrrha asked curiously as she wiped her mouth clean with a napkin.
I myself sagged in my chair before I spoke thoughtfully. "I need to get back to my Grimoire, and then get a new spell matrix added into my magical core. Besides that, I should be spending some time with my master for her to advise me on the formation of the new spell matrix I get."
Well that, and I wanted to spend some time with Prinz Eugen as she wasn't as physically affectionate as New Jersey and thus I hadn't given her as much attention recently.
But telling Pyrrha that was very much unnecessary as we hadn't exactly established what we were right now. And saying. 'Hey I am leaving to go pamper another girl, thanks for the snuggles and kisses, but I am out of here!'
Yeah, that would go terribly obviously.
So Pyrrha and I finished our food with her saying with an amused smile that I had left her with plenty of dishes to take care of, so she wouldn't be escorting me out of the lesser nobility dorm building.
'Alrighty, I spent time with Ruby and Pyrrha... I don't think I should visit Weiss so casually. So time to get back to magical training! Then maybe I will get Nora to do some weight lifting training later on.' I mused to myself as I headed back home to Lux's magical tower.
Heading up to my quarter, I realized everyone was out as no one was out in the living room which was rather surprising, but regardless I went straight to my room and took out the Grimoire from my locked dresser.
With the Grimoire in hand, I sat down on my bed with it in my lap and I muttered to myself. "Alright, give me something good... Why am I stuck with a gatcha like magic spell giver though?"
My hand glowed with magic as I awoke the tiny hint of will from the Cutting Rain Grandmaster who had created this Grimoire. And then I felt the magic of the Grimoire enter myself, its own magic seemingly inspecting the spell matrix for the water drop arrow spell.
And then seeing it was in good order, the Grimoire glowed and then from within my magic core, came a new spell matrix. The water arrow drop spell was a purely offensive spell, and as I saw the new spell form. I wasn't surprised to see a defensive water wall spell.
"I wonder how defensive this water wall spell is actually." I muttered as my first spell matrix took the form of a three-dimensional rain drop, I had to perfectly fill in with my mental energy and engrave it into my mind.
This one, however, was also three-dimensional but also was basically a large square wall that had swirls around the edges to show the fluid nature of the wall being of water.
"Alright... Time to get to work then." I muttered before I created the mental brush I used and then with my mental energy I began carefully drawing out the magic matrix with hopes that I could create that spell quicker with my practise with the last spell.
An hour later, I was massaging my head as my mind was a bit foggy from using all my mental energy. "Ughhh... I really am not talented at this mental inner magical manipulation bullshit." I grumbled before I paused as I had a thought.
Here in RWBY even this fucking hellscape of a version there wasn't anything that could train someone's mental power at a highly accerated level. But wanna know an entire genre of bullshit that had their MC's training their mental, and soul power?
Cultivation universes... Sure the universe's were cringe at times. Most of the time really actually. But they had one thing that no one could deny. They overpowered the vast majority of other fictional settings out of the park.
There was just one... Tiny problem. My Admiral Essence allowed me to manifest things related to ships, naval operations in both sea, air, and space.
The more scientifically advanced or magically powerful ship's or stuff I made with my Essence, the more power it took from me. So if I tried to make some stupid galaxy-spanning cultivator or otherwise sci-fi ship. I was turbo fucked as it would take me years to make sure a thing and it wouldn't directly help me.
No, right now I needed to make something that was related to ship's water, etc, and would make me stronger beyond the system of this world. As it didn't matter if I used this worlds system to gain power. Obviously it had it's limits and wasn't enough to deal with the Grimm.
Let alone the hostile nations.
I felt the Admiral Essence strain as my aura, my magic, and even my physcial strength was drained in but an instant. But in that instant, a small... Tiny little grain formed in my hand. "The Inheritance of the Skydark Holy Lands and their Myriad Water Sword Arts." I muttered as I inspected the tiny grain of the Jade seal that would convey the information I wanted.
The Myriad Water Sword Arts was a sword cultivation style that had a focus on water and spatial manipulation providing me with an unmatched offensive means with it's two special moves in the Sea Splitting Sword, and the Drifting Snow Of Death.
Both moves were very powerful and once I started filling my body with Qi, the Sea Splitting Sword could be my focused move of destruction. And the Drifting Snow Of Death would be my army killer spell.
There was that and then for cultivating my soul and mind, I had a heretical/demonic technique in mind... The Twelve Demon Head Generals Technique.
This would allow me to refine my own mental energy and soul into parallel thought systems similar to my master Lux's own semblance. Though it wouldn't be as strong as her stupid as fuck semblance.
The reason she was a Grandmaster in literally dozens of elements and the carrier of thousands of spells within her magic core was because she could create more than a hundred lines of parallel thinking.
Giving her basically infinite mental energy at the cost of her aura draining at a damned slow rate somehow.
Either way, with both of those techniques and methods, I would be set. And I wouldn't be getting involved in a whole cultivation system as well. After all, Qi was just spiritual energy/mana that was mixed with physical energy specifically.
Sure, I wouldn't be able to store as much Qi if I didn't go through the cultivation path. But I didn't need it frankly. I just needed my base body, soul, and mind strengthened. The rest of the particulars didn't matter.
"Alright, this will take a few weeks... Maybe more to make this.' I mused before I wondered if I could cheese this if Glynda Goodwitch helped me, as I did manage to drain her mana that one time somehow.
Then I paused as I wondered if I could do something else...
'My backdoor semblance. Isn't just opening doors is it? The semblance teacher very clearly put a lot of weight on the aspect of it being more than just opening doors right? To say nothing of how my semblance can get past the wards of even sages. I mused to myself.
Then I looked over at the ninety percent finished couple of Wisdom Cube's I had off to the side and I shrugged. "Well, time to experiment with my semblance," I muttered.
I then sent off a text to Nora, Ren, Prinz Eugen, and of course New Jersey asking where they were before I headed out of the room and headed over to Velvet and Alice's room where I could hear some music.
Knocking on the door loudly, I heard the music cut off and then I blinked as I saw Alice in a tightly clinging tank top that exposed much of her creamy cleavage, as the white tank top was a bit sheer, as she was a bit sweaty.
"Jake, can we help you?" Alice asked sweetly but with a knowing smile at seeing me glance down.
I likewise smiled knowing that Alice was a bit of a tease, so I said. "I was hoping you and Velvet could help me with an aura/magic exercise if you would."
Alice nodded but then said a bit sheepishly. "Oh I don't mind at all. But please give me and Velvet a bit of a chance to rinse off right quick. We've been messing around with runes and enchantments and some of the catalysts are a bit messy."
"Alright, I will be in the living room," I said easily, letting the rabbit faunus close the door, and I just went over to the living room with a hum of thought. As I wondered what ship girl I would get from using two wisdom cubes at once.
After I sat down, I was then bombarded with messages with a smile crossing my face as Nora and New Jersey began spamming pics at me showing me that they had all gone out into Vale and were currently at an outdoor cafe eating ice cream.
'Good to see Ren is getting used to being out of his head jar during the day though.' I mused to myself with some joy seeing the asian style young man was patiently drinking some tea while Nora and New Jersey were acting goofy.
And Prinz Eugen was also drinking tea but just relaxing as she was sitting sideways on a couch just reading a book she had obviously picked out while in Vale.
So seeing as my friends were doing just fine. I just began meditating to rebuild up my aura stores for the idea I had in store.
A couple of minutes of later, Alice and Velvet came out of their room/small private workshop. And I damn, it had to be a secret perk of being a rabbit faunus as they wore their short shorts like a damned badge of honor.
"I was hoping you ladies could help me in a small aura experiment. I want you both to channel your aura into my hand if possible." I spoke.
Velvet looked a bit concerned and she voiced it and I realized it was a fair point as she spoke. "Remember that how New Jersey and Prinz Eugen's aura infusion laid you out for a few days Jake?"
"That is a good point, but that was my aura being completely empty and then I emptied all their aura through my own empty aura stores to do a powerful manifestation. I have a good bit of aura right now so it shouldn't happen." I spoke.
The two shared a look before Alice shrugged and then she said calmly but very firmly. "If you want to try, I am happy to help. But if your aura gets down below a quarter we pull back alright?"
I nodded as that was fair, so I held out my hands to the rabbit faunus's while I held the two almost formed wisdom cubes in my lap. Alice and Velvet then took my hands into their own, and then Velvet glowed with her coffee brown aura, and Alice likewise with her carrot dark orange.
And I held in a shudder as my plan worked. 'My semblance isn't just creating physical doors... It's the act of opening a Backdoor itself, not a door but the concept of a Backdoor itself, which is why I can create the doors past even Sage's wards.' I thought with realization.
As I had created a Backdoor to my own aura that instantly filtered the two rabbit faunus's own aura and thus our aura poured into the Wisdom Cubes.
And as I was doing this, I couldn't help a sad thought. 'Damn, if only Jaune didn't die. His aura amplification semblance would have been useful as hell I bet... Though I doubt he would have survived initiation unless someone carried him.'
Another thing I noticed, was that in my slightly meditative state of channeling our combined aura flow into the Wisdom Cubes that were visibly filling out, was that our combined aura's were regenerating faster then if we were alone.
"Hmm, so you found a way to safely channel our aura through yourself into that thingie?" Alice spoke with naked interest and I nodded silently before I opened my eye's with a wry smile crossing my face.
"Yeah, using my semblance... I can't help but wonder how many people's aura I can channel though. If I could channel like thirty people's aura, or like a martial artist grandmaster's aura what could I build with that kind of store of aura and power?"
Velvet hummed and then she asked carefully. "Can we use our magic now? We are reaching the halfway point on our aura?"
I took a breath and then said to go ahead, and I felt the spiritual energy of aura be slowly replaced with the more crisp uniform of non-attributed magical energy that was then transformed into aura after being run through the Backdoor filter into my own aura stores.
And seeing that transfer still working... I had a somewhat evil thought. What if I had Nora stick a fork in a light socket to supercharge her aura and then she transferred that supercharged aura/magical energy to me?
Lux's family had an equivalent value in the billions... Her family wouldn't care if the electric bill doubled, if even that.
Then the two wisdom cubes I had been working on for the last few weeks glowed and I realized they were done finally!
"Alright that's enough," I spoke with Alice and Velvet, letting go and taking a heavy breath before I saw Alice throw her arms up and stretch.
"Oooh! That was a bit of effort. So what are those cubes?" Alice asked as she dropped her arms down and making her large breasts jiggle distractingly.
I shook the thought of mating pressing the rabbit faunus out of my head and I said after a moment of thought. "It's the soul engram of my ship girls. With these two cubes, I can make another Shipgirl, one more powerful then New Jersey, and Prinz Eugen themselves."
My face twitched as I realized a bit of an issue. "I hope I don't need to throw them through initiation though." I muttered with Velvet and Alice chuckling at my muttering.
"Anyway... It's done so I should summon her I suppose." I spoke firmly before taking a deep breath as I infused a hint of my aura into the wisdom cubes which glowed brighter before they shot into the air.
The wisdom cubes then broke apart into pixelated pieces of light and then began swirling together and forming a blob of light that then condensed into a new shipgirl...
And as the shipgirl formed, my lips twitched as I saw eleven slightly difficult issues. Being her two fox ear's and nine big fluffy silver and blue-tinted tails that stuck out from behind her body.
"Yamato class, Aircraft Carrier. Shinano... I was supposed to be the vanguard besides Yamamoto. Alas, there is impermanence in all things, and nothing became of this one's life... May your guidance lead my fate to a different outcome." Shinano spoke in a soft tone.
Velvet and Alice looked between me and Shinano herself who herself blinked at seeing the two rabbit faunus's. "Well, it's a good thing, I literally have a pamphlet," I spoke with a wry smile as I stood up.
And I noticed that Shinano was actually the same height as me despite having a very withdrawn presence.
Still, I looked to Velvet and Alice before I said. "I will send a message to my master and everyone else about our new guest and companion. Thank you both for the help, you saved me several days of effort."
"It's alright, well in that case. While you get... Shinano here settled in, we will go get her a new toothbrush and such if that's alright." Alice said and I nodded and handed her some lien to cover any costs.
Then I looked back to the quiet fox girl who gave a wane smile and I just smiled back and said gently. "Follow me, I have much to tell you about, and you will likely have questions."
And so I brought her to my room, where I then gave her the info packet, that Prinz Eugen and I put together for any shipgirls we summoned so that they could get a pretty easy world info download all condensed down to like ten pages of content basically.
After reading the papers Shinano gave a slight hum of thought before she spoke in her soft monotone. "I see... So there is no major war going on in this world, and instead humanity is fighting monsters called Grimm."
My face twitched and I said with a wry smile. "Actually. Despite the endless tides of darkness against humanity. We still find time to kill one another for resources, its likely I will be deployed to be act as a bastion against slaver's or resource harvesters."
Shinano just blinked before she nodded slowly with her fox ears twitching and then she pointed at the bit about the Faunus culling and the Night of Knives. "So am I to wear a collar and leather cuffs as well?"
I was silent for a moment before I sighed and said honestly. "Yes, it would make our lives much easier. You won't face any other discrimination as you are under my protection, but for right now. I need to keep with appearances."
She was silent for a moment before nodding silently. "Ok, I understand. I don't mind so long as I can take them off when I go to sleep."
Which was totally fine, until I recalled that Shinano was very much a narcoleptic who would sleep for days on end. And in the Azur Lane game, all her romantic scenes were her sleeping beside you, smothering you with her tails while both of you slept. And then giving you a lap pillow as you slept during a picnic under a sakura tree.
"So... Any other questions?" I asked curiously and Shinano nodded saying that she wanted her aura unlocked and access to a library so she could look through various forms of magic to augment her planes seeing as she was an Aircraft Carrier.
