CHAPTER 42

MELANIE MALACHITE POV

Jaune turned to look at her with surprise "What? Are you telling me that you've only had your Aura activated for a year?" Then he almost moaned as Miltia kissed him in the neck once again.

Wow… her sister really is being quite daring today.

It's really true what they say about the quiet and shy ones.

But now that her sister had gone this far, she couldn't be left behind either.

So she moved forward and nibbled on Jaune's earlobe.

Jaune's back went ramrod straight for a moment before he relaxed and tapped her back.

"I think we should wait until we're done with this discussion." He said, his voice slightly strained.

"Sure." She said with a shrug and then smirked at Miltia whose face had turned red once again.

"So as I as I was asking. You've only had your aura activated for about a year. Is that correct?"

"Mhm." Miltia nodded in confirmation.

"And you became this good at fighting in just one year."

"We had a kind Hunter lady train us for a while before she unlocked our Aura but yeah. We mostly learned how to fight by sparring against each other." She said and then added, "We joined Junior and his club only six months ago if you're wondering."

Jaune looked into the distance for a moment before he smiled "If that's the case then you guys are more talented than I had initially thought."

"Having a sister to constantly spar with you helps a lot as well." Miltia said.

"Oh, I have no doubt about that. But the fact that you came this good in just a year still says a lot about your talent." Jaune said "It looks like I really struck gold with you too huh."

She shrugged, trying to nonchalant about the whole thing but his words gave her a warm feeling and made her feel proud of herself.

"Thank you." Miltia said.

Jaune turned and kissed Miltia on the forehead. She wanted him to do it to her as well.

"Thank you." She said, feeling a bit embarrassed at the whole thing.

She shouldn't be acting like a lovestruck teenager. Not with the harsh circumstances she had lived in. But she couldn't help herself.

Jaune turned and gave her an amused look, making her blush even more but then he moved forward and kissed her forehead as well.

And it was worth it.

"So you two have decided to become full-fledged hunters?"

"We have." She replied.

"Hmm… before you leave Junior's club, I have one last task for you."

"What is it?" Miltia asked.

He removed his arm from around Miltia, making her twin sister pout for a moment before he reached inside his pocket and took out his scroll.

He went through his scroll for a moment before he finally stopped in front of an image.

The image of a person that she only knew too well due to her antics whenever she came to their club.

"I assume you know who this is?" he asked.

"Neopolitan." Her sister said quietly "Do you want her in the team as well?"

Jaune thought about it for a moment before he nodded "I do. But when you see her, don't engage with her. Act normal and take a photo of her with your Company scrolls and send the image to me."

"Just that?" Miltia asked.

Jaune nodded "I have an app which allows me to track any person whose photo has been taken by either me or one of my waifus' Company devices."

"Is that what we are now? Waifus." She asked as she tasted the word in her mouth. It didn't sound so bad. Waifu. She snuggled deeper into Jaune's chest.

"You are." Jaune said, his voice filled with amusement "And… I doubt you'll see her but if you do then take her picture as well."

She looked at the scroll and saw that it had the imaged of a beautiful woman in a red dress on it.

"We've seen her once before in the Club." Miltia said "But only once."

Jaune nodded "Yes. I doubt that you'll see her again. If you do then take her picture discreetly. If you don't then simply take Neo's picture and then you're free to leave Junior's Club and pursue your own dreams."

She nodded and trailed a finger down Jaune's cheek "If we're finally done with the talks then can we go and start. Making. Love." She said each word with a kiss to his jawline.

Jaune leaned into her kiss before he put a firm hand on her back, making her look at him.

"One last thing." Jaune said, "We need to make new weapons for you two."

"Weapons?" Miltia asked.

Jaune nodded "Yeah. No offense to you two but your current weapons are… not very good."

Miltia scoffed "You don't have to mince words. We know our weapons are shit."

"We had to scrounge up our pay to buy the cheapest weapons we could afford with our pay." She said, "We were saving our pay for better weapons… before you happened."

Jaune had a sad look on his face before he shook his head gave a smile to both of them.

"Well, it's a good thing then that we have a workshop in the Mansion."

"We know." Miltia said "You showed us. But we still don't know how to use a Workshop. Orphans with no former education, remember."

Jaune nodded "Don't worry. I have a few friends who know how to design weapons. They would be more than happy to design it for the two of you. And then we can get Pyrrha to make and assemble the parts for you."

"That's…" she choked "That's very generous of you."

He shrugged "It's the least of what I should do for you. Along with your weapons, you two will also receive 10 pounds of Dust for each of your mission."

"The one you use in Beacon Academy?" Miltia asked.

He shook his head "No. You remember the High-Grade Military Dust that I sold to Junior."

She raised an eyebrow at him "You have more of that?"

He smirked at her "Over a 1000 pound of it by now. And the company gives us 100 pounds of it each day now that you're in the mansion as well."

"100 pounds of High-Grade Military Dust." Miltia murmured to herself in shock and she wasn't feeling much better either.

"That'll… that'll be a huge help." She said in the end, still shocked by the revelation.

"Yeah." Miltia said "I think we can take on a whole nest of Griffins with better weapons and such a large quantity of High-Grade Military Dust."

Then Miltia yelped as Jaune pinched her bottom as well.

"No going after Griffin nests at first." Jaune said, his voice uncharacteristically serious "I know you girls are capable of handling yourselves but I don't want you to place yourself at unnecessary risk."

Miltia was silent for a moment as she simply stared at Jaune. Then she leaned forward and Jaune's lips with her own.

She took it as the signal to start and opened a few buttons on his chest before she bent down to kiss Jaune's muscular chest.

Suffice to say, it took a while before she and Miltia finally left the Pocket Dimension.
