Chapter 64 - Search and Destroy (3)

Weiss: "Won't that draw more attention to ourselves from the other Grimm?"

Shallot: "After all of that training I gave you all are you still thinking that some Beowolves would be a challenge."

Weiss thinks about it before making her reply.

Weiss: "You helped them do everything while you only increased the gravity around me and didn't teach me anything."

Shallot: "Gravity training is a lot more useful than you believe it to be especially for you since you primarily focus on speed."

Shallot then started using his semblance again to increase his own gravity to 20x since they weren't on the ship before.

Ruby: "Why was there a Grimm so close by?"

Oobleck: "There are a number of reasons why Grimm will congregate in this particular area, the most likely of which will be their attraction to negativity: sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred. All qualities that are likely held by our hidden group harboring ill intent."

Shallot: "I hold no hatred for Grimm."

Weiss raises an eyebrow at that.

Weiss: "Why is that?"

Yang also wanted to hear the answer to that while Blake already probably knew.

Shallot: "Why should I feel hatred for something that is weaker than myself and is harmless to me. Do you have a hatred towards ants?"

Weiss, Yang, Ruby, and Oobleck are amazed at his answer while Shallot continued playing with Merlin while making sure that the gravity doesn't affect her.

Ruby: "So what do we do now?"

Oobleck: "I would have suggested tracking the Beowulf towards it pack but Shallot has already killed the Beowolf."

Weiss: "Nice going Shallot."

Shallot doesn't even turn to look at her and points again towards where he first blasted. Everyone could see that there are more Beowolves coming out from the buildings looking at the small crater that Shallot made from blasting the first Beowulf.

Oobleck: "And there's the whole pack."

Ruby: "Well we are pretty lucky then."

Shallot just smiles slightly while looking at Merlin.

Shallot: "If I knew what your semblance was before naming you, you would have probably been named Domino."

Blake hearing that looks towards Shallot.

Blake: "Merlin has a semblance?"

Shallot: "I've also trained her to use ki. She is stronger than an average thug at least but isn't as stronger as a hunter or huntress... yet."

Merlin stops rolling around for a second and could feel a chill run down her spine thinking about her earlier years. Merlin then jumps to her feet while looking towards the Beowolves and Dr. Oobleck cuts in with his information noticing that the Beowolves are looking in their direction.

Oobleck: "And they've seen us."

Shallot: "This is a perfect time to see how far the training has gotten you since you don't need to hold back now."

Blake steps forward about to attack when Shallot grabs her hand.

Shallot: "Let's make this a little far and let Weiss and Ruby handle it. You would be overkill against 5 Beowolves. Yang would pulverize them with ease after her training and Weiss can finally understand the purpose of gravity training and the boon of it."

Ruby: "I take it tracking them is out of the question?"

Oobleck: "An accurate assumption, yes. It also seems that Shallot wishes for you to take care of the Grimm to see how far your "training" has gotten you. I am also interested in what you all are capable of hearing something about "gravity training". If it is something that can help train huntsmen and huntresses better then it should probably be added to the combat class."

Ruby swings Crescent Rose to prepare it for shooting.

Ruby: "Cover your ears, Zwei!"

The dog does so, curling up into a ball.

Ruby launches herself with Crescent Rose ending up in the middle of the Grimm before spinning like a top. Two of the Beewolves jump backward to avoid getting slashed while the other three swing towards Ruby attacking from all sides.

Ruby cuts two of the arms but her scythe is slowed down enough to be stopped by the third Beowulf and it charges in. The other two that managed to jump away at first were about to join in the attack were blindsided by Weiss who had her Glyphs on the ground.

She seemed to disappear from everyone's viewpoint except for Shallot and Blake and appeared on the side of one of the Grimm skewering it threw the skull with her Myrtenaster. Weiss was also surprised at how fast she had gone and wasn't completely prepared and barreled through the Grimm's body launching herself and the Grimm into the side of a building making the wall collapse.

Blake and Yang started laughing at that not expecting Weiss to do that while Shallot was only shaking his head.

Shallot: "This is why you make sure to adjust to your abilities and technique before going into combat after using gravity training."

Weiss climbed out of the rubble from the building noticing that she was perfectly fine. Even with aura, most people can still feel sudden movements and actions done two them. A gut-punch may not break the aura but it still hurts even though the aura stops all most all of the damage.

Weiss hair had broken free from her ponytail and was draped over her face and she blew upwards to try to get it out of her face.

Shallot: "Well damn! I think she actually looks better with her hair down. This look suits her more."

Yang is looking also and also agree's that this style might be better but her regular style suits her personality more.

Ruby was still fighting against the now three one-armed Grimm's. The Grimm on her right side swings lunging at her right arm while the Grimm on the left strike towards her legs. The final Grimm bares its teeth at Ruby going for her neck.

Ruby swings her scythe into the Grimm on her right having Crescent Rose lodged into the Beowulf. She moves slightly aligning the barrel pointing towards the Beowulf on her left. She then slides her hand down the handle pulling the trigger blasting the Beowulf away while being launched to the side with the Beowolf on the right dodging the one behind her.

The Beowulf that was on the right still had Crescent Rose lodged inside it and was trying to remove it from its stomach. Ruby swing upward thinking that the Beowulf was pretty light now before cleaving it in half.

Weiss had finally gotten her barring about herself and decided not to use her glyphs and only rely on her natural and dashed towards the second Grimm she overshot. She realized that her current speed is equal to what she was capable of achieving with her glyphs originally.

Weiss appeared in front of the last Grimm that wasn't harmed in the fight by Ruby. She used her glyph at close range stabbing it into the Grimm activating her semblance freezing the Grimm in a block of ice. She then started pushing with more force shattering it into many pieces dealing with the Beowulf.

Yang was watching everything and was feeling bored watching Ruby and Weiss deal with the Beowolves'.

Yang: "This is boring. Isn't there something that we can do in the meantime?"

Shallot: "There will most likely be more Grimm appearing as we search around here so you can get some fighting in then."

Ruby was in the distance and tried a move that Shallot showed her. She tightened her hand on Crescent Rose before swinging it as if she was doing an attack but let with a flick of her wrist turning the blade into a circular blade of death. It headed straight for the Beowulf that was knocked back by the rifle round earlier cleaving it in half.

Ruby burst into a flurry of petals flying past the scythe above it appearing again and grabbing the scythe and landing with a flip.
