Chapter 149 - Consequences

Shallot had left out of the room after Ruby knocked Qrow out and headed outside while flying to the sky. Shallot looked toward a certain direction before lifting his hand.

"It seems that she needs to be disciplined more." Shallot said while noticing in the distance a large Grimm flying toward the city.

Shallot raised his hand toward the Wyvern like Grimm and decided that showing Salem that no matter what she sends she can only obey. Ki started gathering in his hand.

"Just enough to send a message but more than enough to scare everyone looking." Shallot said while aiming.

The ki ball was shaking and spiking irregularly. "Big Bang Attack!" Shallot called out releasing the attack.

The Big Bang Attack flew toward the Grimm at such a speed that it couldn't even react. It slammed directly causing an explosion leaving nothing of the Grimm. There wasn't even a puddle of Grimm goo left behind.

Shallot turned around when he saw Ruby, Yang, Blake, and Qrow a bit behind them. They had come out with Ruby jumping and flying into the air next to him looking at where he just fired at. She didn't see anything there and was wondering what he was firing at.

"What was the large spike in energy about. It's the largest amount of ki that I've felt since you blew up the island?" Ruby asked.

Blake also started to float upward into the sky to see what Shallot and Ruby were talking about.

"What was the ki attack for?" Blake asked after leveling with them.

"It seems that Salem didn't learn the lesson that I was so kind to teach. I will have to go back and show her exactly the reason you don't mess with what's mine." Shallot said.

"Us?" Ruby asked.

"No, this world. The moment I was here meant that I will make sure that if I have people here then those that are with me won't have to worry about the dangers of the world." Shallot said.

"Is it going to take long?" Blake asked since Shallot and Weiss had the match tomorrow. Yang and Ruby said that they wanted to spend some time with their parents while they were visiting them and weren't going to participate.

"It won't take long. Give me 3 hours." Shallot said before shooting off.

Qrow was looking up at Shallot, Ruby, and Blake who were flying then turned to look at Yang.

"Can you do that too?" Qrow asked wondering when Ruby learned to fly.

"I haven't learned how to fly as well as Ruby but I can float if I concentrate," Yang said as she was more interested in enhancing herself with ki. Shallot told her that it wouldn't take long as long as she practiced flying anytime she had some free time.

"It also seemed that Summer could also fly. Is that just a thing that people can do after meeting Shallot?" Qrow asked.

"Weiss can't fly," Yang replied.

"Huh... well I'm going to get myself a drink," Qrow said heading back to their room since he left his canteen sitting on the floor rushing out when he followed behind them.

"Where is he going anyway? Don't you all have a match tomorrow?" Qrow asked while stopping his walk.

"Don't know but Ruby and Blake probably know," Yang said.

Ruby and Blake landed when they turned to Qrow.

"I don't think you all will have to worry about whoever this Salem person is," Ruby said.

Qrow was surprised to hear that.

"What do you mean by that?" Qrow said not knowing how much Shallot told them and if he could really do something about someone that he thought was unstoppable.

"Well, if it is someone that can die then it is someone who can consider dead then," Blake said remembering the island being wiped out by Shallot.

"That person can't be killed," Qrow said letting it slipped since he wasn't completely sober.

"That makes it worse for whoever Salem is," Blake replied since she knew him so well. Knowing Shallot would probably toy with them until he got bored.

"I need to go and see Ozpin!" Qrow said before continuing walking.

They heard an explosion in the distance and they had stopped talking. Winter was wondering what was going on getting ready to move when she saw the look on Weiss's face.

Weiss was looking up toward the area Shallot was in while scrunching her eyebrows. Winter seeing this could see that Weiss thought something was wrong.

"What's wrong Weiss?" Winter asked not used to seeing Weiss with such a serious face before. She was laughing and telling her about everything and then she got a really serious look on her face.

"Shallot just fired an attack that could most likely level a small town," Weiss said.

Winter was about to stand up when Weiss shook her head. Even though Winter thought that Shallot was cocky she knew he was reliable and that he could deal with anything if it would endanger them.

"Shallot can handle anything that comes this way," Weiss said.

"For someone that is saying that she likes this Sun you talk about Shallot a lot!?" Winter asked in a sarcastic tone while smiling at her sister.

"I... No... You're overthinking things... why would a Schnee like someone that has other girls." Weiss said while looking away from her sister. She kept trying to tease her over this.

Winter was thinking about something when she asked something that surprised her. "How strong would you say he is when compared to the teachers."

Weiss turned to her sister with a serious look.

"Shallot is someone that could destroy an entire island if he wanted to and still be fine afterward. He is only getting stronger lately but also seemed to also be trying to do something." Weiss told her sister and recounted how Shallot is more of a teacher for her since she has been advancing in her combat skills thanks to him.

'I see. So he is far stronger than anything that we have come across. It also seems that he loves his girlfriends greatly and he makes sure that he takes care of them. He must also be great at other things since he can keep those around him happy without them complaining to him.' Winter was thinking about everything.

'Interesting?' Winter thought while going back to talking with Weiss since she had a couple more minutes before she needed to leave back to Atlas.
