POV

As the very rain was just pouring down from night sky of the town as the very sight was built up to beautiful one has each drop of water was carrying great power as in strength at it pulled down from the sky as on the concrete grounds below it and on the taxi cab he was in as he can feel it hit the floor of the car and he's was looking at the street from the cab window as rain was hitting and then sliding down from the glass as well it was beautiful and peaceful sight for him as jaune was just observing it as he had forgotten what rain was at one point as he thought that first it was going to be an Punderstorm it was rain is a magical manifestation of emotion as specifically connected to a localized Ever After very weather phenomenon now and he had just experience it personally many times before he came used to it as he journey more in the world there and it was then see this here make it feel usual for as Juane is feeling the cold air has pressing though the window as it is a thunderstorm and it has it's signs now jaune noticed About two hours age he was walking down as we'll the street alone and has with drinking in the bar the group had just as finally returned to the location of from the club and it was simple silence until he's met with a little girl Ravel that she reminds him of his very own sister now and forget the looks of the girl and as her attitude is like weiss but when she's was younger as Most of the guests had already been evacuated as there was trouble again as he just guessed it yakruza was involved again in the matter of facts as he was as usual watching this play out and he's was planning to invest with them has so the resort felt strangely quiet. As Jaune stood alone on one of the higher balconies, leaning against the railing as well watching them fight each other again as well then he started to move just down to the next location he watched the sun slowly sink into the ocean again The sky was painted in soft oranges and pinks, and the just waves below looked peaceful for the first time all day and he's watched on.

As he saw a familiar lookings person down there if he remember correctly as a cartian girl from somewhere else before as she blinked as momentarily caught off guard, before quickly raising her hands. "Uh,... we're actually friends of jin," she's explained. "He told us to just give you our names, and we could head right in." As he listens to her closely and has the bouncer stern expression didn't crack immediately, though he's did give a short nod "Names ?" As he's just asked simply As then they started telling there name's immediately hit by a wave of noises as jaune can't hear them and he didn't care at first as well Music blared through the room, bass vibrating through the air waves has jaune can see the vibration in the air as the very bouncer as glanced down at the list in his hand, and as scanning through the names for a moment before a broad grin suddenly spread across his face and completely has replacing the intimidatingly glare from earlier. "Alright, you're good," he's said. Then, with one large hand, he pulled open the door and just stepped aside for them. "Welcome to Barbados" As fauji immediately and has brightened. "Thank you !" she's said cheerfully as the group headed inside. "Hey, man, why's do they get to go in before the rest of us ?" As one of the men in line complained loudly....."Yeah, what gives ?!".....another called out in annoyance.....the bouncer slowly turned his head toward them, his expression flattening into a hard, unimpressed stare "VIPs, buddy," As he replied bluntly. "Something you ain't and So stay patient and keep waitin' in line...." As the man muttered under his breath but didn't argues further, shrinking back as the line slowly shuffled forward again....Meanwhile, fauji and then with her other's friend's slipped inside each offering bouncer as quick thanks as before the heavy doors swung shut behind them as he saw them just a moment later as they all disappeared into the club as then the bouncer stern demeanor just returned as he resumed his post at the entrance now as looking now.

Still, before checking the guest list again, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. With quick, practiced movements and as he's sent a short text to an unknown number before tucking the device away once more.....Inside the club the very five girl's we're immediately hit by a wave of noise and Music blared through the room, bass vibrating through the air while colorful lights flashed across the crowded interior has People filled nearly every corner of the club has some crowded around tables with drinks in hand and others laughing loudly over the music, and while many more danced near the center of the floors beneath the very shifting lights and haze The entire places buzzed with excitement, alive with the chaotic energy's of opening night now "Wow, this place is packed tonight!" One of girls said as just shouted over the music and glancing around at the sea of people filling the club and One of them just laughed as she leaned closer so he's could hear her. "As What did you expect ? And It's the grand opening !" As fauji smiled has she also leaned closer for them to hear her. "Come on ! Let's find a table or a booth before everything's taken !" As she said and as The group was quickly as began weaving through the crowded first floors, squeezing past dancers, servers carrying trays of drinks, and then as clusters of loudly chatting patrons. After several failed attempts to find an open spot downstairs and as they're headed up to the second floor and as thankfully as tucked near the railing overlooking the dance floor and as they're just spotted an empty table. "There !" Kitty said excitedly.

Not wasting the opportunity, the five hurried over and claimed the table before anyone else could as Small menus were already waiting there's, listing the club's drinks and food selections as the group immediately began flipping through them while the music pulsed beneath their conversation and A few minutes later, a waitress approached with a friendly smile and as just notepad in hand and then they're were ordering there drinks and food as for jaune was watching them and knowing that she is better and safe than was enough for him as he started to move away as he was walking down the entrance of the club and then he was on the street and then started to feel cold air and as then just walked down the streets of the night and enjoying his smoke in his hand before he decided to head towards the convenient store and pick up some things on way.

The rest of the way was just continued in silence with jaune unsure of how to manage his new guest and as her very request for him as he was still kicking himself at the moment for accepting a complete stranger like this and then in this weather no less and she is young girl as he hopes nobody gets a weird idea as he sight he needs to speak with rias in the morning about this and he looks at her for moments as she was wearing a pink dress as she was biology royalty as that Ravel just might be big deal like rias If he not mistaken but it is rias to tell him the truth about her and jaune looked outside his window and then ravel looked at him just when he looked away as he was different from many people that she had met till now as he did act like her older brother's but not like Riser that's good enough as she did smiled towards him as she was happy that her brother was not a complete idiot and pervert and he is good in settling in his friends and very partners in business now as she thought as he is nice that just good enough have a good guide here as ravel smiled at this development and she was afraid at first but it is then she told her parents everything about him and it is then her mother demanded her to interview and as investigated this jaune Arc person first for some kind of unknown reason now and till now he is just an very ordinary person she had met now and he is also good gentleman and have manners towards her and know to treat her good enough now just as ravel just looked away from him in a purff has she's was just looking at window of her cab now has this was her first time just sitting in this as it is comfortable and as then rian was something's she had never expected or experienced before and it was different from what she's had heard from her family and friends now and it's very much..... cold as well now as she looked at the light around her.

then how will he manage his day and everything else in the matter of fact now Ravel unsure of how's to get the real answers she sought and as taxi just led them both toward's location that they want and then taxi as she/ he can the lightning appeared and then lightly up the place for everyone now as they understand that it is the same thing with everything now and they hope to finely make it back to there's locations in one piece Much later, and has the night continued on outside of the very place of the city The cab driver pulled the car into a parking spot across the streets from jaune very home and smiled has he's shut off the engine "Alright we're here," he said cheerfully, glancing at the other's as then both of them started to just climbed out of the passenger seat beside him, smoothing out her jacket that was given by jaune as she's.... was observing her very surroundings area has streets was cold and wet from rain as it was slow now and that was good and it is then jaune was talking to the taxi driver and then he just as she's stepped onto the sidewalks and from the backseat as jaune also pulling out a beg of groceries that he buy sometime age and she's wondered about that what propose he's has for them don't he's have a servant for that task now the latter ducking slightly as he exited the car, looking noticeably calmer than he's had earlier that day, though there was still a faint edge lingering in his expression as well and then taxi driver started to leave them alone now in that area as jaune started to move towards his car pouch main gate has be starting to unlock it has ravel fellowed behind him.

Nearby, ravel looked toward the entrance to the place as it was different from what she's expected it and let out a low approval at the sights of the house just from the outside alone. " Nice home." As she's said to him as then jaune started at her " thank you I just bought a few weeks ago.." As he said to her as she's nodded at him afterwards opening the gate he moved in with her and then closed it and locked it behinds him stopped as ravel started to remember at jaune home and then both of them get off and then jaune payed him and as then led her to front door of his house now as ravel as just raised her eyebrows at that and then she just was observing his house as from outside has it's looks old and then jaune just inserted his key in the door and it was then started to opened it up and he was first one of entered in and she fellow after him just then both of them enter in his and has then jaune turn on his lights and then everything light up as it was bright that was sure has then ravel was shocked and amazed by the furniture and surrounding of his house now and he is not poor that was something she would expect but it is then he is organised and she's doesn't see and just sense any kind of devil's or humans servant arounds here but then again that means is he all alone but that is impressive just how did he managed on his own till now is his parent's not here with him or just any other family members with him as that's was a question on her mind now as she was looking around as she was getting to know her surroundings area better now and then she was separated from him in the process just then he was wondering about what should he do now and then he had a idea as just as why's not just move away from apartment building and live here then and that might be a better idea as he was planning on just living here at some point in the future but then he just needs to deal with Yuuma problem now and she just can't stay here and who's knows what might happen here but he can't afford to leave her alone all the time and then she started to adjust to her new life now and then rias wouldn't be so happy to see her or the other at all has they might actually kill her on sight but they will understand but still that is risk he will not take with her has she is his very responsibility now and then he needs to finished up work here and as then started to just move in the house earlier than planned now and then as this was just different sure he wanted it to be with Yuuma/Raynare at the moment as he's have not seen her as she's is still at the apartment as rias have told him as she is being watched by her but it's would do and has then Jaune Arc just started to take out his phone and saw rias message and two miss calls and then it was few hours ago when he was in the club as that might explain things and then he started talking to ravel and then he looked around as then just a few second later she's comes back and she's was looking around the house now " oh I am sorry...I was curious about your house....a little I didn't mean to offend you in anyway but your house is.... quite unusual-" As she was interrupted by him " unfinished I know that is just second to third floor entrance because....I bought the house few weeks ago and... I have been working on it since then - " As she was shocked by this " wait you are working in construction on our house now !!? Just alone !?!!!!" As she's said to him as that's was new for both of them jaune was dumbfounded as was by that very much response from her and she's was surprise by his response or expression entirely as how can he surviving like this at all and then after some time both of them just with conversation and then he led Ravel to the guest room on the second floors and her room was next to his own and then she's saw her room and she was impressed by the choice of design as it was like a hotel room with a wooden double bed and then one big wooden cabinet on the side and just with two coffees chairs and tables and as simple carpet on the wooden floor with beautiful curtains covering the very window view and then she started to settle just down a little as jaune told her that as she can found a spare clothes in the cabinet now and then they her new dry clothes for the night and her pink dress was wet and she's sent it down on the chair and undressed herself now and then entered in the bathroom and then ravel was met with a good renovated....bathroom with very modern touch as white tiles and big bath tub and then with big long sink with cabinet with as a good shower area with glass....or hard plastic door from the shower as now with big mirror on the sink and with lights just everywhere as she's was impressed by his work now.

As he was not like her brother at all he was just more then responsible and creative in more ways than one who takes interest in others thing's and he is good at his work and definitely not pervert by his standards as now that is a relieves as she set it out to be dry up till morning and then jaune asked for anything's else and she refused and he left her room now and then she is remembering him and his very physic as he is a very much handsome and that she can admit as ravel was in her bath tub taking a shower now and just then she started to remembers what started everything's in the first place as she was soaking in the soap water now.

( FLASHBACKS )

As well it all started just three weeks ago with my very third oldest brother Riser who's was a good person at times but he was pervert in heart and as he did create his own haram of women when he had the chance as it was their mothers and father concern but as they in the end dropping the matter in entirely as it's was just no reason to explain or argue with him as he was just a bit spoiled at time's and they're parents perfect just understand that part now and today in the morning as she was called his his room and he's was saying that cool line again and again " That's we are the mighty Fire bird and Fenghuang !!!!! The fire of our clan that's was praised as being that of a Phoenix !!! Taste it with your own body and turn into ashes !!!" As he's said as she can hear him outside of his door as she's sighed just now he's is the third son of the Phenex Clan after his elder brother and an second older brother who's is just away somewhere in the human world and he's is not interested in the family's business or anything's of that sort and as then He's is the youngest son of Lord phenex and lady phenex and as my older brother has she thought when she was entering his room and it is very big bedroom with his very queen as beside him in his bed and she was covering herself Infront of her.

"So what is it big brother of my " As she replied trying to keep my calm and has since he was actually being professionally for once has ravel can see all of his all-female peerage as consists of fourteen members as present there as they started to bow to her in respect as they we're lookings at her and her brother riser is a tall and handsome young man a in his early 20's with short blond hair and has with dark blue eyes with his usual outfit consists of as a burgundy blazer with gold embroidery on the right with matching pants and has black dress shoes and Underneath his open blazer is a white dress shirt that's is not fully buttoned just one button short and giving a slight view to his chest that is what he likes to wear that's more often as she's just question his fashion sense as she was looking at her brother who was in bed with his queen naked has the blanket was covering his lower half and called me into his room and fortunately for me "Ravel I have a favor to ask you ?" Riser said calmly to her " yes what's is it my dear brother" As she asked him just with prideful smile on my face "I've been watching my lovely bride rias, for some time by now and I have enjoyed my full with her smile but then I saw someone else as that's I have not seen someone for sometime now that is not my only concern of the matter but my familiar told me that's he sensed fallen angels in town" As riser said to her "So what do you want me to do about it ?" I asked with a hint of annoyance as that's not my place first of all now "I want you to go investigated and see why my beautiful bride hasn't eliminated them already and as if she needs help and as I was going to investigate my self but someone attended to kill my familiar now and I don't know who did it but I have suspected that very fallen angel's have a hand in the matter of fact now as that is why I am sending you my little sister since she surely knows they're around now" As riser just in said calmly as well that's makes sense but why me not his very toy's now but she's didn't speak up as that might upset him but As far as I was really concerned it was a simple task and I needed to get out of the house as well and a trip to the human world now that's exciting.

"Alright" As then she left his room and then started to parpared for the journey as she had never been to the human world that often as it was dangerous for her to go there alone and then she was going to choose has going with to someone else well be best then nothing now as Xuelan said to accompany her but things just become a bit confusing with her and then she started with telling her parents about everything and they all just want her to go there with more people Karlamine and Mihae we're selected to go with her and thing's as well want the same as she's made sure to be safe as Ravel honest promise them both and told them as everything that want down in the town now and now.

As then she's told her before Xuelan can replied back at her using a magic circle to teleport a to a local park at the heart of there territory now as both of them look around and then they saw no one as that was empty at the time at it was dark out and as then both of them started out there journey and guides of the town as it is then and after two hours of walking around It didn't take long to find one of the Fallen Angels and as they hiding in the tree for some reasons and that was just stupid now as there are fallen angel's not monkey as she can't tell the difference between them anyway in the end who after who Xuelan quickly beat and began to interrogate. It turns out, the Fallen was watching a young man named Issei Hyoudou for some time now and then there was nun involved in the matter as well and then quickly beat them and began to interrogate them again as well they're are Pudsey now As Ravel thought and then they are investigating a human boy as well that's was involved with the devil with red hair now as that was interesting has they explained to her that boy was older then that Issei brat and as he was interested fellow as he's was human but not a normal one as he's fights off squadron of fallen angel left and right like nothing now and then he's started to save a nun girl and then he left with that red hair girl now and then they task to watch over and obviously observing that human with unique magic now and they just who apparently they may had a sacred gear as then Now thing's we're getting interesting and although I could tell my brother what's I discovered, I figured I'd wait to get more information's and then we did and then with his name as well and then he did something that was different from usual as he started to act out a little bit as when he heard his name now as when me and my Xuelan come back home two weeks later and then it is then he was started to defence as Like most devils, Riser has no good opinion about humans at all or the Human World, in general, previously mentioning that he hated the wind and fires of the Human World just now and then he's was avoiding her and then I asked him and then we started to have argument about just something and then he said very mean words and as then I decided to run away from home and then I just ended up in the human world again and then it's was still night out as I started to walk around to found has one or anyone's to guided me but I found some priest on my way and he was with a bad evil smile now and he's started to chase me as then I started to run away and the unit I met jaune at the moment's and my life changed at the moment now and now I am sitting as here taking a bath now in his house and safe a sound.

( NON-FLASHBACKS )

As she was thinking about what her parents very are thinking about jaune why's do they want to know just about him more as well she can guess about his very name sake as it is Arc as well it belongs to one of the most famous person who lived a long time ago and it is a good to know people but why are they showing a more important and interest in him as he is not a big devil at all and then she found out that her brother as known him as well and something not adding up now As she looked up at the ceiling and wondered what if no she knows her persistence and as then as she just wonder what he might be doing right now as just then he's said his good night and then has want to his own bedroom and close his door and just set up his night clothes and has to parpared for a bath before going to sleep and then she's might do the same thing as well.

As he thought and then he wanted inside his very room just again grabbed his clothes from his wardrobe and has began admiring myself In mirror he said " Ah Damn I'm handsome" As he just ran his very fingers through his shoulder length blond hair and looking at his very own facial features giving himself the look of a twenty year old man while I was at least 200656 saying "defo the most handsome man in the house of bird's" As he said to himself now eventually got on his outfit for the day it being a black waist coat with a white undershirt and a black necktie he said "look now just who's that handsome man oh wait it's me" if there's one thing he don't lack it's confidence in my looks and powers and if people don't like it than they can leave me be I have better things to do then fight them' As he thought and then he started left his room then being greeted by a familiar face of person and she's said "greetings Lord Riser" As she's said as bowing towards him with very up more respect and then he looked at her his queen and then he started to pervert smile towards her now.

As he asked him and it was something's he expects from his father as riser just smrked towards him " I really just don't know but if it's involves a deal with them as there just only one way to find out that is to discuss with her " As riser as said to him as lord my father nod his head as the very only one reason he is doing this marriage to help and further there our pure blood devil bloodline now and it was a problem for every class of household for some time now and further it was a big task for both sides of the family now by the end devil are prideful people as then " As just to think Ravel and...Sirzechs Lucifer will be doing this deal soon enough with this as..it's worry me" As his mother said with heavy heart as....if this work it may help there both family in greater feat's in coming year's but it not then It might just has then it's may just bought there repetitions to ruin as we'll now and then " No need to worry mother everything will be fine but then it better then me as getting married then my little sister to even think about boys yet who is it I'll burn them alive if looked towards her funny" As riser said to them as then he just flared up some of his fire with just everyone chuckling that was when my father was happy to know that all his sons love as there little younger sister now as she is gem of there household.

As then both made it's at the entrance of there house as well "you've and your brothers are just has alway's been protective of her that's is good but in the end of the day riser you have to just accept she's a growing woman she won't always be the baby sister who you let style your hair or who you'd pull tricks with around the castle and yes I always knew it was you two now " he said to his son as when the time will right he's will have his daughter married to a very suitable man of his households now and then he's was have enough grandchildren to spoiled them all hahahah that's is a good thing now " And I know about you two the most now " As lord said to them both now "as please don't mention that to anyone my lord " As Yubelluna said in her typical way to them as both lord and lady just then sighed at there's acting as where's did they go wrong now "so then are you embarrassed I know of a way to undo that" As riser said to her " just not here but later mabye" lady phoenix said to them has she's was a bit angry at both of them has lord phoenix was backing a way now as he knows his wife far to well now and has she's had that's look of disappointed but that's part of her appeal how childish her son can be as she can be seen that way both of them see at each other now as then she hopes everything is smooth till the end now.

As then they all walked in there dinner room to meet both lord and lady Gremory has with present in hand now saying to them now as it's had to be done "Kara it's been to long" As she said as both of them started to approach each other now she's said "ah Vene I've missed you" hugs eachother and kisson there check now and then Riser then look at his father now mean while my father and lord Gremory just had a different song being sung as he just heard him say "look at the handsome man my son is he's grown up so fast" lord Gremory said "my daughter has grown up so quick as well can't we make them be children again" As at that stage they both shead as manly tears with me saying "why do I even bother" Yubelluna said "someone has to be the man of the house" he said now "yeah and I guess that's my job" as she wispered "if your a man I already know I'm your woman" he's tried to brush of her comment if only for the sake of appearances but really he's knew she's was right the moment just now.

As then it was left with Rias who didn't say as word at first as she's was obsessing very one here and asked about anythings now "I have no interest in a arranged marriage" As she would said to them as rias was just spacing out at the moment now and has she might be still thinking about a way to leave this places and then this arranged marriages now and that's is for our very family to decide now he said "sorry for this" she's said "don't be it's for our families" As riser understand that more then anything else now and everything want as the ways it should in the end and then riser saw that's rias was sad for some reason just then and as it's was not making any sense to him but as what's do he care he is doing it for his family future now as that imperial and then As for further future as for his people legacy now and for pure blood devil bloodline to live on now.

MEANWHILE IN THE TOWN OF KUOH

POV

As jaune just didn't know if he had passed out or was dead at this point in life has it's was very peaceful and comfortable because where's he was now looked like heaven as with Soft clouds that's stretched endlessly beneath his feet, forming a vast white landscape that seemed to go on forever. Above him was a bright blue sky so clear and beautiful that's it almost didn't seem real and Warm sunlight bathed everything in a gentle glow, and the air itself felt peaceful and The palerdan immediately glanced upward, his hand reached over his head, only to sigh with relief good.....No halo now and then something else "Whew ! That's was close... But then again why I am here to begin with now " he muttered to himself and looking around in his dream as this one is one of the most crazy one he's had in a long time now "Indeed it was jaune." As The familiar voice echoed across the clouds now as Jaune froze.

He recognized that voice instantly, it's was the same one that had spoken to him before granting him the power of Light Magic and a new life in everafter and it was something he never expected to hear again just after a long time and Quickly turning around, Jaune searched for the source of the voice, and as his eyes widened when he found it as The voice belonged to a beautiful woman with a golden heart the blacksmith of everafter the mother of the twin brother god's and his friend and goddess now Her eyes were perhaps the most striking feature of all, bright emerald green, radiant and full of wisdom as seeming to shine with a gentle light of their own now like before he's left that place as for her attire had changed a little as she not wearing her blacksmith clothes or that metal body as it was changed it was like human yet not at the same time as she's was just wearing a long white dress has the fabric looked impossibly clean and a then almost seemed to glow faintly beneath as the sunlight of this stranger heavenly places with her long black hair and as she's wore a pristine that's white sleeveless dress adorned with intricate golden accessories and as trim and then with As slit along the lower half of the dress exposed her legs feets and revealing a pair of elegant gladiator-style sandals that wrapped around her feet and calves with golden straps but as then something else was In her right hand, and she's held an elegant golden staff topped by a massive blue orb that floated just aboved and it's head rather than being physically attached to it. The orb shimmered with a gentle light and seemed to contain an entire sky and within as its depths and that was new She looked every bit like the divine being he's imagined a goddess should be now.

"You're the voice I heard earlier....but you can't be her now ," As Jaune said, to her and pointings at her and then she smiled toward's him with that soft smile like before and she nodded gracefully. "Indeed.....it's has been a while...my champion" As she's replied back to him "Allow me to properly make your acquaintance of a friend of my Jaune that he needs to speak with you now as she waved her hand then a cloud appeared " hello there jaune I am god " As jaune's eyes widened. "Wait, you're actually the god of this world ?" As he's just asked and that was strange as he is talking with god now and then that is possible for now and As his voice lips curled into an amused smile. "Indeed," he's said. "And I know that you, Jaune Arc, arrived here by accident from another world." As he's said as Jaune just immediately straightened. "How ?" As he's asked him As blacksmith stared at him has with circle white eyes now as lightly tapped the end of her staff against the clouds beneath her feet as she was playing with it "Let's just say that's I was informed by a benevolently third party," he's said to him as Jaune blinked "A third party ?" As he looked at goddess of everafter now as she was drawing circles now "Mmhm yes just greatly because of that duty now mmm" As she's was just as muttered now As jaune sweat drop on his head but in the end he continued to listen quietly. " As This world that you have entered is very much different just from your world beliefs and ideas now and things can just become complicated enough to concerned off has in your world you have a common enemy's but here you will have more several type's of enemy's from places you wouldn't not even imagine now and you will have several type's of friend's and ally's you just wouldn't not even imagine now and just that how this world will work with the longest historical figures that do relate to you or your friend's and family now " As he said to him and Jaune slowly nodded. "I see..." As then he's began with the history of this world and explained as how the world worked in his time of peace and a then war and then peace again The more he learned about this world the more he understands and he's can say one thing that his teachers would kill him to hear this story now about different types of civilization that this world had produces over the centuries now and it's is just fascinating from their culture form technology to there religious believe and there's very enemy faced.

The more he listened the more respected him god as understood why he did thing's and has didn't help his angels and other's now but they have reject him over then often to betray him and then he's faked his death to test his children's now but then Giving up so much for a duty he's never truly abandoned them as he did helped them at time's but in differently way's then one can say and that couldn't have been easy for anyone now and then the blacksmith was someone's like him to him and his people helping them in there darkness and for a real future now has the brothers abandoned them a long time age now and set there champion to win a contest now that was never going to end as the blacksmith just smiled softly before continuing.... "As then for your second question...." Jaune immediately focused back on blacksmith "It's involves the reason that your Magic is acting just as recently just as in the first place." His interest was instantly piqued; after all, he had been wondering why any god of world would willingly create or give him magic in the first place as then the blacksmith cleared her throat. "You see, we god's many things at our core, living embodiments of nature and order and then we live separate from them just entirely itself" As she's spoke, the clouds around them shifted and changed shape and as then flowers bloomed across the clouds now as "As..... we created our world's and universe then created and represent As then created the power of creation as growth, life, and balance.....But then we created even nature very possesses another side as well." Just Suddenly, the very flowers withered, and as storm clouds formed in the distance. There's was a sudden gust of wind that threatened to send Jaune flying away."And there was destruction and many others that follow it like plague and then Strom's and Human's, devil's, angles, with it other species with them now." As Jaune's expression slowly became more serious... As then when we both have created other monsters and as then blacksmith and god then smile had vanished entirely... "Because we created other god's and there embody nature, we possess both aspects within ourselves." As she said "this the distant clouds darkened further has Creation and destruction and Light and calamity and sooner or later... That destructive aspect awakens." As god just said to him For the first time since jaune meeting him he's just looked genuinely troubled by this has Jaune immediately felt a knot form in his stomach as He did not like where this was going, not even a little. "What happens when it does ?" he asked them and then he and blacksmiths just then looked at him "Apocalyptic levels of natural disasters happens" they answered at the same time's and jaune just Immediately frowned.

"Apocalyptic ?" As he's just repeated and Blacksmith nodded gravely "Yes Eons again jaune before as the very humans others species walked this world and as just before kingdoms, civilizations, or even the oldest recorded histories many monsters destructive sides emerged without warning," As she's explained to and as then started to show him the image's now "As they just are embodiments of nature itself, at the time and they have attacked and destroyed many civilization's in there time or in there's path now just like the Grimm in your world now Jaune Creation and destruction are both part of balance that brother never explain to just anyone now as For a brief era, that destructive nature and creativity consumed everything in the time that's both of them are responsible for just destroying many lives before Ozpin and Salem now and they have just fought here in this realme and they have created their own creatures here as well that threatens the balance of this world as we'll of EverAfter after.....you defeated both of those beings on your own now" As she told as just explained to him Jaune could just almost picture it and understand as where they are coming from the very brothers are always just middling in things that is shouldn't have first place and as Worlds are drowning beneath endless oceans and has Mountains erupting with fire as storm powerful enough to tear continents apart now with monster invading and then destroying everything along with it expression darkened slightly as she's remembered that's distant past "And when it happened and then as every forest as every creature, every trace of the age as before humanity and others was swept away in the end " As jaune eye's widened.

For the first time as Jaune saw genuine sorrow in the goddess's eyes and understand everything now as It wasn't the woe of someone recounting a story; it was the sadness of someone remembering a very terrible mistake in there lives now and the brother never care by the blacksmith and god care about there creations but then again failure kept on following and many just found a way to misleading others like Lucifer and the very brother's now has blacksmith tightened her grip on her staff. "And so, when humanity came back into being, so we both decided to created our followers to fight them and there dark influences as then the rest is history now the cycles continued and then we just need to create the most powerful magic of all has the to fight them and protect themselves against the dark force now 13 longinus and blessing magical in others word's Godslayer magic" and As jaune stared at her in disbelief, as it suddenly clicked as godslayer magic hadn't been created to wage war against the gods or the 13 longinus now has it's had been created by the god themselves as a safeguard. A weapon humanity could use against them should they ever lose control again and as other who are trying to destroy them all now "You created Godslayer magic to prevents your reactions just destructive themselves ?" he asked the goddess and god now has both of them nodded now.

Jaune tilted his head " I think our time is up as then an certain devil have awaken now we will speak another time now " As jaune wanted to interrupt them but it is for the best as they well explained everything's more clear next time Both of them nodded. "Grow stronger, protect those precious to you, and most of all... Keep Moving Forward Jaune as No matter how difficult the road becomes he must not give up you are just more stronger then you look" As she said to him and it then jaune was starting to fade away as Her emerald eyes seemed to shine a little brighter. "That's is all I ask of my champion." As jaune smiled and nodded his head slowly. "Yeah than you for everything." As For the first time since arriving in Earth has he's felt like he had at least one answers It wasn't a way home or a solutions to his problems, but it was a directions, and right now, that was enough. "Yeah," Jaune repeated.... "I can do that." As he said "I know you can, Jaune," As god told him. "Now, I believe it's time for you to wake up." As it was then "Right," Jaune replied. Then, a split second later, his expression shifted into confusions. "Eh?" he asked intelligently and then has there's very amused smile was the last thing he saw, as abruptly, the world around him shattered like glass and then Jaune eyes snapped open, and he immediately sucked in a sharp breath and shot upright, and his heart pounding in his chest and as Instead of endless blue skies and cloud beneath his feet, he's was greeted by a plain wooden ceiling overhead and as for a few moments he simply stared at it The blonde blinked several times, trying to gather his bearings and it's was his room ceiling now as now and his body just felt heavy, as though he had slept for days and yet strangely refreshed at the same time and leaving behind only a faint soreness for that he spent in the rian last night now as jaune arc looked around his surroundings and found himself lying in a modest wooden double bed inside a master room as that he was working on as everything is still simple as then plane as no fancy things like decoration yet and it was combined with a another room and that was his own private office now and as then sunlight streamed through a nearby window of his now as it was big with and connected with his balcony and glass and a then wooden door now as it was big and then the view was connected with entire garden below his room and has it was then beautiful views if the very garden was just something's to speak off as that is lots of work is need to be done before anything else now as the light was just casting warm beams across the wooden floor. A small table sat near the wall alongside and as pair of coffee chairs, while a dresser occupied one corner of the room now as then morning had comes and it was time for him to move on now and times to papared for breakfast and then for the day now has he slowly gets up from his bed and made his way toward his biggest bethroom that he was working on received now and it was then after he was done with bathroom duty now...

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

KITCHEN

POV

As then it was a long and tiring morning for jaune has after he was done he started to descend down toward the kitchen planning on preparing to just breakfast for himself and then for his guest now has he entered his kitchen and then he remembered that he insisted has many new things in the future as he needs to bring as his thing's back from his apartment and then he's just remembers he bought eggs and bread and chips has many others thing's last night now then jaune started to parpared the dishe's and gas stoves and started to get to work immediately and then in the meantime as cartian girl sleeping in her room started to wake up as then started to look around her surrounding and then started to remember last night event and as then she was sleeping on bed that jaune provided her and just yes they are in his unfinished home and he's was just very hospitality towards her and he is good enough to be acquainted with her brother now but then her little tummy started to rumble and Ravel just started blush embarrassment as she was hungry and then she just started to know something and it's was delicious and she understood the time it for breakfast as she check the alarm clock for next to her and it was 9:00am as it was still early for her but then again and then she just started to wake up from her bed and a just went to the bathroom to clean herself up and then get dressed as then she saw her pink dress was all dry up as then it's was even pressed as then it was good work now and as then she wear her clothes and then she was set as she decided to descend down just toward the kitchen now and great him the host himself meanwhile jaune was in his own thought about something and As The question of his answer kept echoing in his mind long after it had been asked and by the times he's arrives back to his post as the discussion he's had with other two now and with began preparing the kitchen for the day as he needs to done with his work and hire some one professional to finish his kitchen up and install as few appliances to his new kitchen now as he needs to replace his automatic dishwasher and then his very own cooling fan in the kitchen install and as the same time he needs to finished his own house and then he needs to move in sooner or later as then it still hadn't loosened its grip on him and as his hands moved with practiced precision as jaune began to just setting out ingredients and as preparing the meat, and checking supplies, but there was no real thought behind it now.

He's was doing everything right, yet none of his focus was truly there. It was all buried beneath the weight of the choice waiting for him. as then he's said his good night and has want to his own bedroom and close his door and set up his night clothes and has to parpared for a bath before going to sleep and as now. And Who could he choose in the end ? worse, did he even want to choose if it meant hurting one of them either way ? As he thought that If he chose distruttore Mors or his Crocea Mors train with and would be hurt and angry, and he'd be adding to the pain she's already carried, twisting the knife further. And But if he chose crocea, over distruttore wouldn't just be upset; she'd question him, has challenge him as maybe even resent him for it. That kind of tension would eventually boil over, and with his life still out there, that's was the last thing any of them needed and There was a third option: choose neither just his guns now Walk away, spare them both the hurt now Jaune's hands stilled for a brief moment before he shook his head sharply, and dismissing the thought as quickly as it came. 'That's not a solution,' he told himself bitterly. 'That's just running away as A coward's way out now' As he thought to himself now.

A low grumble escaped him as he resumed his work, more forceful now, the frustration bleeding into every movement. He's hated how tangled everything's had become, hated that something as simple as feelings had turned into this impossible mess And most of all, he hated that he only had himself to blame as Jaune paused, " jaune there's you are good morning" As he was confused and then remembered who's was else in the house now and then he's turn towards her and saw that same girl from before with her pink dress as she was ready and then " ho hey there ravel how was your sleep I hope it was comfortable bed now " As he said to her As she nodded towards him " yes it was a very comfortable bed sir " As she said respectfully as then jaune nodded " that's good....but not with the sir just please it make me feel old " As jaune told her and then she nodded and started to sit down on the chair and table near the counter and then jaune quickly just started to ready the eggs and bread with coffee and tea " ravel what's will you like for breakfast ?" As then ravel then was goings to the decline before her voice of her stomach just that's right betrayed her and then she said with embarrassment pancakes with milk as well then jaune nod to her and then started to just as compare prepare them like he was going to feed his Nora again that crazy person he hopes she is doing ok now and then after he was done with her breakfast he's then started to serving her and putting down the rest has we'll now and sitting down himself and then As Ravel and jaune both sat at the table has to enjoy breakfast together, the phoenix heiress decided that now was as good a time as any to bring up has small matter and she'd just been meaning to address now.

"Jaune,..I was wondering to ask you something if you didn't mind now and as we are goings to go do some shopping today and sight seeing" As she said now as then as jaune just looked at her "Oh, ok any particular place in mind for this unforeseen trip ?" As he's asked her as she is new and if she wants to explore then he is free afternoon as we'll glad to see she hadn't taken the events of yesterday with her family to her heart as he can tell she's is sensitive and then with despite her disappointments with the current circumstances now. "Indeed Now as I'm sure you know, as of last night my family finished putting together a backstory for you – or rather as my acting bodyguard and guid for the first place– and as my brother has made all the very most necessary documentation has arrived as well...." As she said him as jaune stopped as why did he need an documentation now he is a tax payer civilian now and then who is her brother again " wait a minute rav- " he was interrupted by her " You are my cousin and I have returned from abroad to pursue higher studies a while just also here to explore the land of the rising sun and then to see my cousin so now that's your background has been taken care of, our main focus today is going to be buying clothes for you, my loyal Servant and as then we both will be going to cartian someone's now." As she finishes her sentences now as jaune was just eating his egg sandwich now as it was deliciously and then Jaune quirked a brow. "And ravel just then why's exactly would you feel the need to do that in the first place, Master ~?" As he asked her "Because if you're going with me as then obviously you're going to need clothes to wear during the parts of the day and when you're pretending to be my bodyguard now" As Ravel replied to him " you know I have clothes and we can go there with my car now right !?" As he said to her as it was like she was originally ignoring him as he's was In its place was wearing as black long-sleeved dress shirt with matching pants and dress shoes as proving his point towards her "So there's no reason for you to go spending money on my behalf, ravel and then who is your brother again ?" As jaune asked her " As she's just looked away from him "Perhaps but I want to " his guest replied. "And besides.... if I let you do that you'd probably just wear the same outfit just every time you needed to go out in public... You need some variety in your wardrobe, jaune" As she's said to him and jaune can see the similarities between her from Weiss and her now as she was embarrassed by my existence in her life as then I really understand I mattered nothing in her life and then it bought a bittersweet memory to the surface just again and he was just smiling toward her as ravel is young and I understand where she's is coming from now as it feels like he is scolded by his own daughter now and that is good feelings just now.

unnecessary expense of time and money as from his guest merely for the sake of what she thought was his own sense of comfort now and he can tell that's she's is just concerned about him Jaune acquiesced to her' will. He figured it would be best to just get it over with, lest he desired to waste further times and with energy arguing with her and when she'd clearly made up her mind and His guest had proven to be rather stubborn when it came to caring for those in service to her and it was like he was dealing with his sister's again and it was Apparently and it's was a trait shared by all in her family."Fine then. When do you wish to leave ?" As he asked her now Brightening up, as ravel smiled "Once we're done with breakfast and everything's is cleaned up and put away, we'll head out." As she ordered him and then It didn't take long for her to get ready before they left the house now One thing jaune had learned about his guest was how she loved taking long walks around town for matters and that did not concern her usual work as a Devil now and she's had some same traits like weiss but more like rias if he's think's about now She's insisted that he walk alongside her instead of in his arm as something about how it looked better this way by her as both of them walked towards down the street of kuoh and it's was peaceful now but then jaune remember "Hey, Ravel you never told me about your brothers name and your house name ?" As he's asked her and that a serious question now " As she's just stopped at her track's looked at him shocked by this and she's didn't properly introduce herself to him as that's was fail by her side " ho I am sorry I forgot to properly introduce myself where are my manners my name is Ravel phoenix from the house of phoenix of the three big family of the underworld " As she said to him as she was bowing to him as she was a princess now and then jaune started to click" ok then my name is jaune D Arc as it is my pleasure to meet you Ravel phoenix from the house of phoenix now" As he said to her with smile and as then bow toward her like real gentleman now as both of them had a smile on there face and then both of them started to work around in town together as they want to different stories one by one until they were sitting down one of the bench and then started to eat some ice-cream now until as ravel just asked him a question " hey jaune I have question if you didn't mind me asking ?" As she said and then he sighed at the thought now " ok then what's on your mind ?" As he said to her " when I was back in the hall room of your house....as I saw something on the very fireplace hanging over it " As she said and jaune then understand what she meant " it was sword on the wall with shield now and it was beautiful but I was curious of the antique now " As she asked him and he started to understood her she thinks that is a fake or antique now and it was his family sword his family hairlom as his first weapon that he had since the beginning of his journey now that he decides to hang it up again as he did polish and clean it as jaune was not plannings on using it after raynare and the church it was weapon of justice and conquest and leadership by his ancestors now and then he drugged down the mud now and it is the last he should use it as he was not going to war as it a fact as he had others weapons as well now and he is probably prefer to use them as they might be more affectedly againsts them but in the end day 'I have no enemies ' As he's thought now " So you do know how to use a sword then ?" As she asked him " I do and as that's sword and shield on the fire place that actually my ancestors blade from before the great war begins as it's has been in the family since then and now it's is here with me now " As he said to her with a smile and she nodded at him At the corner of her eyes, she saw jaune eating his ice-cream in silence as mouth twitch upwards for a split second as a smile Again, she's felt like he was dodging her question as for some reason just now something that made her pout. Just as she was about to ask him to clarify, as then jaune stopped "Would you look at that, it seems like we have arrived at our destination" As he said as pointing at the store.

She turned around to find the entrance to the clothing store in front of them and then in an instant just star's appeared in her' eye's has ravel saw so many clothes that in her mind and as would look amazing on jaune Unable to contain herself, she grabbed his hand and rushed for the store while all but dragging him behind her and while eating her ice-cream Jaune meanwhile couldn't help but to remember that time with sister's during stopping now and but chuckle, 'At least she is quite easy to distract.' As he thought to himself now.

After a very successful shopping trip just from young phoenix and brave knight made their way back to his home together with the jaune was like real servant as just carrying about two dozen bags of clothes As it is turned out the very blond girl had been rather very as insistent about buying anything that she just thought even remotely suited him and herself as he expected of her "Was it necessary to get this much, ravel ? Just a couple pairs of shirts, pants, and socks and one set of shoes would have more than sufficed with just how frequently the clothes are cleaned." As He said dryly, knowing that's half of these clothe's would never get used and just as didn't like the unnecessary spending this much "Oh cheer up you downer, I would never let you live with only two sets of clothes, that's would be unacceptable for anyone who's is inquainted with the house of phoenix to look boring and poor now and as besides you did looked so good in each of them that I couldn't resist buying them all and it was good for you cheers up after we done we will come again !" As she said with pride in her voice now and as he sighed now

"At the very least you can at least acknowledge that's there was no need to spend so much…" As he said to her "We barely spent anything." As she's said It's was pointless to reason with her he's should have realized when just one of the pairs of shoes she's bought cost more than most jewelry…..as then she bought several of them.....in different colours now as he believed that if he hadn't stopped her when he did, then she would have easily purchased the entire men's section of the store by the end of the day...."At least we didn't spend the entire day there…" As glancing at the clock on the wall, he's saw that they had easily spent five hours on this shopping trips before finally returning home and as Something told him that Ravel would have wanted to stay there and as until nightfall or even drag him to another store, and that was too much for him to do in a single day.....taking one of the bags and taking out a few article's of clothing as jaune didn't remember her buying. "Oh, I added this as when you weren't looking ! Come on, try it !" As Then the man sighed, even has he stepped forward to indulge her as this truly wasn't.

As the rest of the date continued in silence with jaune unsure of how to manage all this things at once and it was going to be a possibility problem's and ravel just was unsure of how to get the real things she's sought. As she's was for the first time given full time to herself and then she was tasting freedom for the first time as no one supervisoring her at all jaune was very patient and polite and very understanding now jaune just led Ravel towards the park for a ending in the sunset now as sure he just wanted it to be with someone else but he was sad about that as she would have loved it As he thought "Thank you jaune for coming here with me "As ravel said to him " but I think we both should head home soon" jaune said calmly to her "but why's that " Ravel wondered as He seemed like he's was having a good time and the very idea of ending it as now was a surprise..."Because we bought to much and we need to head home soon to put way the stuff but then I feel guilty for spending so much time with you not tellings you before." As jaune said to her as admitted and that was it for Ravel She couldn't explain why, but she was going listen to him as he was right and then she's was smiling until she's saw something in his pocket a fliar it was a summoning circle but more importantly it was a Gremory summoning circle now as her eye's wided itself that he received a that's from Rias or her familiar now "Okay jaune" Ravel said calmly as she's and him stopped where they were in the park now "okay It was nice y-OOMP" jaune continued but before he's could give her a proper answer, Ravel gave him a powerful punch back of his head as knocking him out instantly as he reactivated his aura around her " no You'll thank me later jaune." As Ravel said calmly before reaching into his pocket and grabbing the summoning circle he was given A part of her wanted to destroy it, but she's realized that's it would actually serve her purposes far better if she kept it and prepare for the very meetings.

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

ARC RESIDENCE

POV

A groggy jaune opened his eyes wondering what was going on after ravel knocked him out and why she did so I have no idea why now "where am I now ?" Jaune groaned and as then he started to looked around the very room and it was his bedroom now as he's should letting his aura down when he is with people now has then He also noticed that his clothes were on besides his jacket and his room was completely as everything that was left undone was done has from floor from his roof and the furniture polish now "Oh good you're up" a voice said that as haughtily catching jaune of guard. As Turning towards the source of the voice jaune and then had to hold back a his light magic as because of the person in front of him as she had shoulder length black hair tied up in chinese or mistral style.....I hope I am correct a buns and blue-green eyes but as what's had jaune was her outfit now as she's just wore a blue qipao with gold accents as that's showed off not only an incredible pair of legs but a massive pair of breasts as well now darn Issei is rubbing on him in bad way's as then certain someone wakes up from this " DAMEYOU AGAIN JAUNE ARC " as the dragon boy cruse him now " issei what gotten you !!!!" As she's mother asked him " ho sorry mom" As he's looked at that his food as he was looking down at the magazine of cars just now and he was going to beat him one way or as just others now as then with jaune Arc "Holy...wait..is that...Chun-Li cross-play" jaune said not expecting to see somebody as who looked like the famous warrior.

The young woman huffed angrily before turning away, "No My name is Xuelan human and but you're in Lady phoenix grace preciate that human." As she's said to him as jaune was rising his eyebrow's at her was just confused by a few things, but realized that the young woman referenced was, "Where is Ravel." jaune said and then calmly putting the Lady part to the side and starting to get up and stand up from his bed and then jaune saw that he was not wearing anything at all just now as he was naked and then he's realised that and then Xuelan just saw this and as looked away with an blush on her face " your clothes are just in the cabinet now " As she said "wait here" as Xuelan huffed before leaving the room as jaune then sighed at this walked toward's his cabinet now and opened it and then Arc saw his clothes there folded properally now and then he was impressed with this and then he's saw others clothes that Ravel bought for him for some reason he still doesn't understand at all and then started to just wear his white dress shirt and as then matching black pant with his black oxford shoes now with as then his black socks now and folded his shirt sleeves up and then saw his very lighter and cigarette's case and as then he picked one out and started to smoking one it was one of the few reasons why he's kept it as this is very complicated at times now as he's sighed and sit down on his bed and then waited for ravel's arrival the bad feeling he got from before returned now and rias may not like this situation at all and then what can he say in the matter of fact now as Ten minutes later, the door opened to reveal Ravel though she was in a pink dress this time. It wasn't as eye popping as her other one but it still looked pretty nice and she was not just alone as that Xuelan was with her as well "Hello jaune I see you have wake." Ravel said calmly as she's just noticed that he was smoking and that was new for her and then she's was still calm at the moment just now.

"Why Hello there's ravel I hope you are finally finished shopping by now" As jaune said with a bit of sarcasm as he got up from the bed as slightly in order to talk to the girl he spent most of the afternoon with "just Of all things you could have said certainly didn't expect you to say why Hello there" ravel said to him chuckling as then as jaune eyes narrowed before he just began to speak, "I hate to admit it but you really have just done a good job around the room but I have question's just why do that with me ?" As he's was talking to in a very friendly manner before it's changed in to something's that of gangster serious person as it sended a chill as down her spine and so do Xuelan as she was moving in a defence positions now As you always seemed off and As for why's you clearly did or wanted something before coming to meet with me." As jaune said to her as then she saw this new face and was as clearly very much different from before as he's is sharper then he may look " you certainly....weren't complaining during our date." As Ravel just scoffed in annoyance now as then he raised his eyebrows at her "That's because I wanted to figure out what you were after...I'm pretty sure most people just wouldn't send their's...sister to tell her brother friend now and I do know riser enough that he won't his little involvement with me of the very people now" jaune replied to her with a frown just now as then she's was shifting in her steps a bit and ravel frowned since Issei was right "You're right about just something's but the truth is my brother didn't want to be involve you for some reasons now but tellings you would change your life forever and not in a good way. I can tell you now or we can part ways and forget this happened." As Ravel said firmly and giving jaune an ultimatum now as then jaune sighed ' so just like your brother then' As he's thought now Jaune just frowned since that meant whatever purpose Ravel seemed to have for getting involved she achieved and so he and riser that might be bad "Alright.....then just since I can imagine wherever we are isn't close to Kuoh can you take me to dinner then before anything " As he said to her calmly as he started to walk toward's his wallet as his key's as jaune remembers he had his BMW in the garage and it was working condition's and they drive there now He knew something was off but now wasn't the time to question it and he was hungry "Of course" Ravel replied and then stepping a side has jaune just walked away from theroom to the hallway and he can see that Ravel had done something with his house as she had finished his work but how as he's will ask her later now has then he's put his hand in his pocket and feel something as it's was summoning circle and this one is different now as it's was phoenix mark's a note that's explained how they could meet again at dinner just now ' I need to contact....riser soon about this' As he thought as slipping his phone away jaune glanced up at the clock and saw that opening time was getting close. Soon, people would start entering, and orders would start flooding in, and he'd have to keep up and he needs to finished something else before anything else as He rolled his shoulders, trying to shake off the lingering nerves."It's just greasy, fried food now" he's muttered to himself with a small and reassuring grin. "How hard can it be ?..At least I'm not bird as stuck as in the window door now " As he said to himself and he was going to make fried chicken now " I heard that !!!" Ravel voice rang out from her room just now as jaune just froze, and his face flushed in embarrassment and then confusing Then he let out a quiet laugh, shaking his head as he turned back to his station.'Yeah... This is going to be a long night.' Jaune thought to himself.

MEANWHILE

POV

As Kuoh Academy. It was originally an all-girls school but then one day it just was change to co-ed has and thus… many males came here for as chance to get a girlfriend. And that's… included the infamous 'Pervert Trio' of Kuoh as well And the day is start by the sound of the girl's beating the protagonists Issei Hyoudou at the moment Today is the same. Issei Hyoudou going with the two 'friends' Matsuda and Motohama to peek at the high school girl. And has those two friends after taking all the time 'peeking' as they're just leave Issei back for a beating But the only different is…as he was called by his master and that she had a looked angry.

As rias with her group just moved quietly through the Forest as well this was one of there training routes as today as well she was moving slowly and sterling has with bat held loosely in one hand as she scanned the undergrowth..three days into the semester break and Jaune had already vanished as Not dramatically, he'd simply said he's was goings to contact his dealer and then disappeared like smoke after he's was done with school and then he spent his time with sona has after sometime he is just strange and She's wasn't worried exactly....Just…determined....Akeno trudged behinds her for sometime now for some reasons as she's was on the edge for some reason something's was resting across her shoulders now "This is devious. Using 'I'm contacting my dealer' as just an excuse to evade us ? Just...Devious~ I respect it but I'm mad about it.~" as she kept on laughing and as cracking lightning in her hands now Kiba walked beside her, calm as ever. "It's reasonable...He hasn't seen them in a long time....the white streaks and just has probably made explaining thing's complicated." As he said with smile as he was very uneasy with Akeno lastly and then...Koneko was in serious mood as well she was worried about Arc as she seen him in high regards compared to everyone other than issei now he's is below her bad list "That's not an excused to literally hide from us in the forest !" Koneko said with her serious face, waving one hand as she's was tracking him down "We're are team! We deserve to know where our friend is hanging out now to be so cool now but building his weird survival cabin in the wood he doesn't see the movie the cabin in the woods that's was scary movie " As Issei said to them as he was still terrified watching horror movies as well they have the most fricket story's ever and then jaune decided to build house in the wood has did no justice in the end as rias did smiled faintly at her Peerages as they liked and respected jaune that was good and but didn't interrupt She kept moving, eyes on the ground, looking for any sign of passage as Jaune was good at this and just Too good as that new to her as we'll and it was that he was her servant and her his master now

Kiba and Koneko crouched briefly to examine a patch of moss, then shook his head. "As For someone who wear's full armor, and then take out fallen angel's just like nothing's but then know have to track them down impressive he's knows how to navigate the forest and leave almost no track's It's impressive." As he said to them as Koneko nodded at him as she was having an tough time herself now snorted. " As Jaune's always been a weirdo and who's is weirdly well-liked by older women in the neighbourhood" As she's said with nod as then Everyone then stopped walking. Rias turned, one eyebrow raised and as with Akeno a small smirk tugging at her lips. "Older women ?" As both of them asked her as Koneko.... just looked at them both with her very straight face " He as this weird charm he has. Like flies to an apple pie as the cafeterias ladies love him and then with just few neighbours wife like him as well and giving him casuals or some other dish other day and then supply staff aunties as always give him extra portions in food and helping him or guiding him now Even teacher gets this look sometimes when he starts talking about infrastructure or whatever and He just…..talks to them like they're people and they eat it up." Kiba just nodded as completely serious "It's true. As He seems to have fun talking with them...and then He just doesn't even realize he's being charming He's just...listens to them And remembers things...As then offers practical solution's to their problem's and Older women find that strangely attractive" As then rias just took that information in and tilting her head slightly. A quiet, thoughtful warmth settled in her chest. "As Our human friend is strange indeed." As she said it and it was then Akeno was giggling at the new now laughed at the end "I'm not even surprised anymore. Between classes he just…does chores for people look like the rumour are true about him Like it's normal. Helps the groundskeepers move heavy stuff, fixes things in the dorms, carries supplies for the teachers staff and just then helping the neighbours around their house and as he helped few of the old people crossed sriti other day I think he actually enjoys it.... Like it's relaxing for him or something~." As Akeno said to her everyone was thinking about it and as Koneko just had a small smile on her face listening to her about jaune deeds now As rias nodded slowly. That sounded exactly like Jaune as She turned back to the trail "so Koneko any tracks ?" She asked Koneko spent another moment studying the ground, then shook her head. "Nothing recent." She said Rias thought for a second, recalling every conversation they'd had about jaune and as his hypothetical home "He always said if he were to build a house or remodelling it and as it's was further away from the town main industry and highway it would be near a reliable water source as Let's head toward the streams." As then everyone started to nodded toward her as then they started to walk as toword the stream.

As then Koneko remembered something as adjusted her direction slightly " so I might know the place he'd pick and found There's a quiet bend in the river about two kilometers north and good elevation, decent tree cover, away from the main trials and then with good views of the surrounding areas now" As she's said as then As rias just smiled. "Lead the way." A After a few minutes of walking, rias crouched low behind a thick tree, peering through the scope of her binoculars as with Koneko behind her A little ways ahead, in a small clearing near a gentle bend in the river, near the wall of villa now as it was an old Japanese home and then she was impressed by the location now it's was near the river and there was a road on front of it as it's was big enough to fit two car's and it was far from the town and that was sure now as she's can see the very light on the front gate and a little bigger garage it was three story building and then she decides to take flight with her wings extended in the air as she's was observing everything now and then she saw someone walking out of the door and it was Jaune was hard at work as he's was different as just more handsome then usual with his white dress shirt and his black pants and his Oxford shoes and his hair was slip back as his white strick in his hair can be seen as then the others joined as well with her with issei and Asia struggling to fly as the moment As Akeno was stunned by his looks that he was a different person entirely just whistled softly beside her. "Okay… I'll admit it. Jaune's kinda good at that outfit~" As she current imagine that and just Kiba studied the structure quietly with Koneko "he's clearly has experience and that He wasn't just talking as that foundation around the house wall is solid and he had been working with that's alone is impressive and has The placements near the water source is smart too." As Kiba was observing jaune house as that was very impressive of jaune as his respect for him has grown up a bit As rias lowered her binocular and Akeno was just smiling at him a mischievous little smile tugging at her lips "As we have to drag him to back to his very apartment No excuses this time." She glanced at the other members "Ready for the ambush ?" As rias just asked everyone Akeno smile like a kid about to cause trouble. "~Oh it my pleasure~" As she's was cracking lightning in her hands now and Asia just smiled a bit.

As Kiba and Koneko simply nodded, already loading there weapon's now and then are goings to And then issei was excellent about this as he will have his way against jaune now maybe he can punch his walls as payback now as then everyone's started to surrender him to trees on eithers side of Jaune's clearing or his house walls now and everyone was set in position as then they all launched at once now as Jaune's head snapped up just in time to see has the incoming and then reacted immediately as he's steped a side as he activated his Aura and magic now has he's started to scan his surroundings and and saw who's it was now and it was a cat "Wha—Koneko ?!" As Koneko just as cackled as they all flew straight toward's his half-built back shed now jaune shouted and grabbed her leg as right out of her hands mid-flight has using her fist full power at him like a hammer's weights to spin himself out of the way now and then circling throw her away a far distance now As then kiba decided to interveen in the matter's now released his sword and then landed smoothly, immediately circling around to grab Jaune from behinds in a careful but firm hold with his sword on his neck now "Sorry about this but masters" As he said politely, " order" As arms locked around Jaune's torso as then Issei and then Akeno launched herself right after them with a grin, lightning out and papared to strike him down with Issei run towards him and as punch jaune with his booster gear in his stomach has now as that might hurt him but jaune stopped and as looked at them as then rias started to dropped in the conversation " As the time for a vacation is over jaune you are goings to come back to your apartments one way or another now as then jaune saw everyone was present here and then he saw Asia in the corner just waving at him as he smiled towards her Jaune broke free with a burst of laughing despite himself " As You guy's are ridiculous to think that this will contain me !" With an burst of strength he kicked issei in stomach and then headbutted Kiba and then he was free just in instant and then without nothing holding him back he approach Akeno from her behind and then jaune slapped her butt hard " ~aaahhhh~" As she's let out and cute moan and then rias was going to blast him but then rias slip past her and then grabbed her legs and then back in the bridal style now " owp" As she's just shocked by this as with one hand now and then with a white flower in his hand towards her " A flower for the lady now" As she's said to her with a smile on his face and then rias blush at that and then smiled.

As then everyone's started to get up and the charger towards them both what's followed was a playful but surprisingly brutal game of tag through the garden of his house now as they tried to hit him every time and then Jaune sped up, vaulting over fallen logs and low branches with practiced ease and He amped himself lightly, just enough to keep ahead as dodging Kiba as even Koneko and then issei tried to grab him and has then Akeno was shooting lightning at him as Koneko kept launching herself with her polarity, tryings to cut off his escape routes while smiling the whole time as well " Ara Ara ~You're not getting aways that's easily jaune ~!" As Akeno said in flirty way has we'll firing a lightning from hands one by one that's exploded in a shower of electricity and leaves behind him just now. As Jaune just dodged the blast and shouted over his shoulder, "Firing lightning at me is way overboard for you Akeno and stop missing on purpose now ! That's expensive work !" As he said as running arounds now and then As she's giggled as rang through the garden now and then " ~Don't worry about it rias said~ she'll cover it !" As she said started to shoot more lightning toward's him Jaune sped up even more, golden aura flickering with blue edges as jaune amped his speed. As the all of them barely kept up and as then crashing through bushes and leapings from root to roof in very pursuit as then Jaune disappeared again, and a gust of wind swept through the courtyard as jaune smirked before his expression sharpened and has A pale glow briefly surrounded him as he's boosted his Aura back toward its maximum "But you'll have to do better than that if you really wanna break me now !" .... just As the moment he finished speaking he's just vanished now.

Kiba called out while running " So jaune is faster than I expected now " As he's muttered now as then every one after running around as they finally cornered him near a wall overlooking the river and as Jaune turned, breathing a little harder, and Aura light still in hand but lowered.....as he was going to fight them as He let out one more sigh, shoulders slumping theatrically...it's better this way "…Fine" As everyone cheered as issei pumped his fist and Koneko slung an arm around her very shoulders now as Jaune let them drag him along the garden path as feet half-heartedly resisting every few steps and makings him till they made it inside his house now and he still had a plank of fresh-cut wood tucked under one arms like he might make a break for it and as finish whatevers he's was doing anyway just now "A house is practical," he said just voice calm but persistent. "Solid walls as No sand in your boots. You know I hate sand it's gets everywheres but a then you just can actually sleep without seagulls yelling at you at dawn and then with Running water from the river. I already mapped the best spot for a chimney—" As he was interested in explaining everything "Why are you so against this ?" Rias cut in walking on his other side with the air of someone who had already decided the outcomes " it's only good for you and you just had me worried " As she's said to him and then observing his new house and everything else and then she stopped for a moment as she was feeling something else and it was another devil signatures but it's was pure blood devil one and this one is very familiar as jaune sighed the tired kind with a very tired and as then old-looking expressions that came from somewheres deeper that he's doesn't want to say... "I've had enough staring at beaches for years Trust me" As the group exchanged looks Kiba raised an eyebrow. Koneko tilted her head like he'd said something mildly insane now "…You're overreacting a little," issei said, grinning as he kept an arm looped around his shoulders as to make sure he didn't bolt as they're dragged him to his room with his direction just now Koneko blocked the door and Rias gently but firmly pushed his travel bag into his hands as then Kiba started walking towards pullings clothes from his wardrobes with quiet efficiency has he's was very impressive by his clothes again as some are just designer clothes and then expensive one as well now and then "you Pack now," As rias just said just smiling sweetly but leaving no room for argument but then as he was looked at the bag as someone else just called them out " well well is it Rias Gremory herself" As it's was then everyone froze in there's place as then they trun toward the voice now as they all recognised that voice anywhere now that's belongs to her as rias just turn towards her with widened eye's as that was just surprise now Ravel phoenix herself and with Xuelan besides her then at the eight people now occupying the room, all watching each other jaune expectantly.

He sighed, long and defeated, and started packing as then he set himself free before "Fine," he said. "But if I get everyone attention please and how about dinner everyone as it might be not good keep someone now here " As he said as he was standing near the window with his lighter and cigarette's in his hand as smoking with smile on his face and has with his glowing yellow eye's towards everyone as who was in his very room.
