Chapter 57: My Weird Friends

~Ruby POV~

Uhm…...

Class is so boring today learning about Grimm basic knowledge I already know of.

I miss those times doing normal classwork in Ryuko's world at least I didn't have to worry about Grimm being a constant problem in my world.

I wonder how different things would be if Grimm didn't exist and Salem learns to accept the death of her lover.

Expressing scowl at the mere thought I highly doubt that as a possibility since she won't change nor will she be given the chance to.

Shaking my head a bit I'm so bored that there is hardly anything else to do!

I need actual entertainment!

Hmm…

I wonder what Tatsumi and Echidna are doing at the moment since they always seem to be up to something productive?

I should do a private meet-up with Tatsumi and Echidna.

Pretending to type my words on the screen behind an on top of my desk I wonder what those two are doing.

I can't contact Toga, Ryuko, and Satsuki, since we are all having class currently but Erza, is always busy so I can't contact her if she is so that leaves Echidna and Tatsumi.

Those two seem to have a lot of free time to do what they want I wonder what they do?

At least anything is better than listening to my classroom about Grimm biology hell I even used my points to learn more I can about my Silver Eyes.

I for one am glad I got to use them during our time training in Kill La Kill and the hard punishment that Tatsumi drilled into me going for hand-to-hand combat.

Although the way he tells me to use my Semblance is how to say scary but useful at the same time.

At least it was useful for me to use and gave me an idea of how to use my Semblance in battle like him telling me to use it to decompose a tree.

Since my Semblance allows me to disassemble myself at a molecular level and reassemble at a chosen location, negating my mass, which I can do to anyone I carry with me, something the original Ruby herself was unable to deduce.

But if I have that ability then Tatsumi requested for me to use it differently as offensive for a good example he says Scar example from a show he calls Fullmetal Alchemist.

Scar's method follows the cyclical flow of transmutation, but only takes into account the first two steps - comprehension and deconstruction by "stopping at the second step", the physical structure of whatever he targets is broken down and not reshaped, essentially reducing it to debris.

But since my Semblance [Petal Burst] already have the ability to disassemble and reassemble myself or anything once Tatsumi made me realized that I can also do it to people.

If I stop midway of the use of my [Petal Busrt] then everything just falls apart to dust as I stop midway dissembling them.

That was what Tatsumi teach me during my time training in Kill La Kill with Ryuko and Satsuki to which I call their healing bullshit!!!

Sure I helped unlock their [Aura] but then I get them stronger but as opponents with Toga, it was hardly a fair fight.

But then again fighting against Tatsumi is unfair itself considering his physical strength and bullshit abilities he has.

Sigh…

Getting myself back together I open up the chat to request a private meeting with Tatsumi and Echidna to see what they were doing currently?

[Ding! Ruby has requested a private meeting with Tatsumi and Echidna!]

The next thing I see is that Tatsumi and Echidna are hiding and viewing two people with Gems on them…?

Huh?

Ruby: Hey guys I was wondering what you two are up to!

Tatsumi: Huh? Oh, hey Ruby hello. As for what we're up to well were observing at the moment.

Echidna: Hello again Ruby dear it's nice to meet you but we are at the moment viewing Tatsumi creations at the moment.

Creations? Observing?

What are these two doing this time anyway?

Ruby: Sorry but can you explain to me what you mean?

Tatsumi: Right you see just yesterday I created some Gems using my abilities to see if it was possible to have some extra help around my world.

Echidna: Yes, Tatsumi has told me that he created some Gems and wanted me to help his Peridot learn magic-using gates.

Next, I see Echidna was puffing her chest out with pride as she explains to me what exactly she was doing.

Echidna: To my surprised, I found these Gems quite fascinating from birth they are already intelligent beings, and Peridot seems to absorb my knowledge like a sponge and I even dare say she is childish.

Ruby: Really? Sounds kind of fun what you guys are doing so why are you exactly observing them?

Tatsumi: Well… these Gems were genocidal alien race so I'm giving my Peridot and Pearl a teste run of sorts to see if they can adapt.

What?

Did I hear that correctly?

Blinking at the clear confusion of all of their words Echidna gave me the heads up what were the Gems.

Echidna: Yes you see Ruby these Gems were originally killer while the show didn't put them like that since they will always terraform the planet to make Gems more livable while the original habitats suffer to extinction.

Ruby: Uh… isn't that very dangerous to let around them if they were originally like that?

Tatsumi: Oh, you have no idea but there is the benefit of having them around that was why we are observing them first.

Echidna: Yeah it would be a very bad idea to leave them alone if they show hostile intentions towards humans or any lifeforms for that matter.

Ruby: Couldn't you just use your Semblance Tatsumi on them?

Tatsumi: True but how should I say this exactly…?

Echidna: Actually, they are soulless but at the same time not, so they are like clones or homunculus.

Ruby: Huh?

Tatsumi: Sigh… it's more like their soul hasn't formed yet and I can't use my Semblance on them since they don't have their souls formed yet I'm hoping they will though but only time will tell.

Ruby: Ok why haven't you just unlocked their aura to get a clear answer?

Tatsumi: True it would be simple to do it to figure out but that would leave them with too much power and might get tricked into giving aura to others so for now we leave that off the table for the time being.

Echidna: Yes, it would be very unwise to do it for an immediate result so we're going about this the old fashion way and wait to see results.

Ruby: Ok?

Tatsumi: And besides we finally have good news Ruby we finally have completed your [Crescent Rose] to your customization I'll tell ya recreating a Teigu is very hard work with me using [Black Flames] to even make it melt the metal.

Ruby: Really! Those flames were enough to take out anything and burn it through and you needed that to even melt the metal! Then it must be very powerful metal your crafting right.

Echidna: Yes the metal we're talking about is called Orichalcum it's very durable and very hard to destroy it's even the same material used for Incursio armor if I'm getting the right materials it should be very hard to destroy in your world so it can double as a shield.

Ruby: !!!

Damn!

These two really went all out giving me a good sniper scythe rifle for me.

I can almost practically drool for seeing it and holding my baby in my hands…

He he he he…

That was when I got myself back to reality as I then remembered that Echidna added enchantments into the weapon so with a grin on my face I had to ask.

Ruby: Sweet!! Hey Echidna, you said that you added enchantments onto my weapon what are they!

Echidna: Ah yes, the enchantments I added were three in total they are your very basic ones but powerful, nonetheless.

Ruby: Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!!!!

Echidna: Relax child the enchantments I added was a simple power up to its shots, increased speed of the host, and a dash of [Shamak] magic into one of the choices in the gun ammo with a switch if you want to immobilize your enemies.

Hearing all of this is certainly a useful thing for me to have in my life!

Tatsumi: Ok just tell us when you want your weapon back Ruby and I'll give it to you back right away.

Hearing this I was glad but that was when I heard my teacher says to us that class is over finally.

Glancing back over to the chat screen I then typed in quickly what I wanted to say before turning it off.

Ruby: How about later today when I ask you in private again that is when you'll give it to me is that fine with you two.

Tatsumi: Yeah that is fine besides I have to see what Pearl is doing dealing with learning about this world.

Echidna: Same here I have to see Peridot see how far she came in her studies so till then later Ruby.

With that the screen is offline and now I get up and leave class to go home I can't wait to get my customized baby again oh I miss my [Crescent Rose]!
