Chapter 171: Bought

~Jack POV~

"Alright!"

Yelling out at the top of my lungs calling out to my friends today to show them the Rokushiki today with creating enough books and skill books I managed to call them out here today to spar for the up-and-coming Vytal Festival.

Yang, Blake, Ruby, Weiss, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha managed to come here today with Blake clearly annoyed at me for yelling.

Coughing and apologizing to them on my private island I began to talk to them since we have about few days left before the Vytal Festival began, "Hello everyone it's great to finally meet up. But as you are all aware, I called you out here to discuss about the up-and-coming Vytal Festival, right?"

Yang merely grins happily at that raising her fist up in agreement as she spoke out, "Of course. Everyone is going to be gunning for us this year in the Vytal Festival! I for one can't wait to try and fight the best of the best in the Kingdoms."

Weiss nods in agreement with Nora voicing out happily agreeing with Yang holding her weapon up, "Yeah! Everyone is going to be gunning for us but also the top students from the first years to the last years. I can't wait to show them my hammer! Hahaha!"

Ren sighs at this with me sympathizing with Pyrrha the first to voicing why I have some skill books on hand, "Of course Nora. However, Jack I'm curious what are those books on your side for?"

Smirking a bit I began to explain to everyone about something they could learn about the Rokushiki or the Six Powers for them to learn, "Actually I was wondering if you guys would be interested in learning these techniques. You could add aura to enhance your body using them if you want. I would recommend using them normally. It's my own kind of fighting style I invented called the Rokushiki or the Six Powers."

Their eyes seemed interested a for a bit but Yang and Ren seems interested in the new skills with Blake raising her eyebrow questioning me, "Really? How good are they in actual practice anyway?"

Smirking at this I used to immediately get behind Blake leaving behind a gust of wind when I finally landed replying to her cute cat ears, "Well for one Soru is used to if trained allows the user to be at superhuman speed."

Turning around immediately surprised by this as did the group suddenly seeing the results with Ren eyes getting hooked as he spoke out, "Interesting. I didn't sense any aura being used? Is this simply just base form of it through actual effort perhaps Jack?"

Nodding at this I gestured for Ren to shoot me while I introduce another one to get them hooked on the idea, "Yup. I created a few just for the right situation against Grimm and people if the chance arises. Ren try using your weapon to shoot me and I can show you how effective it is. Trust me."

Ren looks at my eyes before he gazes at his weapon before nodding at me agreeing with everyone giving some distance for us to show off.

Ren readies his weapon and shoots with me reacting with avoiding them with ease of each bullet shot.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Bang*

With each of them missing using I see Ruby eyes shine at this technique along with Weiss getting interested leaving Ren surprised.

When he finished shooting Pyrrha replied to the demonstration of showing off with curiosity in her voice, "Oh? You managed to dodge all the bullet rounds with such ease and no aura to use up! I have to say it's rather impressive actually."

Nodding my head I began to explain to Pyrrha that's one of the Six Powers I used, "Of course this one for evading is called . allows users to make their body extraordinarily flexible in order to avoid any attacks, float, and bend their body like a piece of paper."

Yang grins at this happily replying a comment to my response with a grin, "Very flexible huh? How flexible exactly you big lug?"

Very flexible.

But I won't reply to her teasing.

Returning to the demonstrations though I happily grinned at this while I talked to my group about another great technique, "Very Yang. But this one would knock your socks off… quite literally actually. This one is called ."

*Swoosh*

Using I began jumping on the air itself getting a surprised reaction from my friends with clear interest shown when I explained next, "And this one is called ! This one allows the user to basically jump good! push themselves off the air itself with superhumanly strong kicks, allowing them to travel through and remain in midair for an extended period of time!"

"Oh!"

"I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FLY?!!"

"That seems really useful against flying Grimm."

"Heh. Now I can reach those Nevermores with my fist now!"

"This one really seems to be useful in avoiding Grimm on the ground if surrounded…"

Nora was excited the most about this when I finally began to land down as she bows down wanting to learn , "Oh mighty fearless leader please teach me the ways of Geppo so I can fly and beat down my foes! Thunder thighs will reach the new levels learning under you fearless leader!"

Same came Ruby squeling seeing me use since it involves more leg strength gushing over with her thinking of using it in combat, "Ah! I could totally use something like that in the air sniping Grimm! I wonder if I can combine it with my Semblance to run through the air? Oh… that sounds really cool!"

Laughing lightly at this and getting the Skill Book for with the highest level on it to Nora and Ruby I explained now why I have the books, "Here you go Ruby and Nora. These books contains the manuals of how to properly train using and hopefully some enlighten understanding from personal experience."

Listening to that the group soon came over to see the skills for the Rokushiki choosing to read which topics and one's are good for them obviously with Ruby taking , , and seeing how effective they are for evading.

Along with Blake, Ren, Weiss, and Nora taking them seeing some pictures and training instructions to see how to train and what condition is needed for it to work.

Of course they could use their auras to help get it quicker but the hard work is always more reassuring and better for their own growths in all honestly.

Yang and Pyrrha both take a look at the , , and seemingly getting their attention on defense and offensive to use them with me listening in.

I managed to hear Yang talk more about and .

Yang for her part also read the skill book with genuine surprise of how they work and how they work well together, "Whoa… so is basically the gun version with fingers that pierces through targets like bullet wounds and learns more along with defensive. But with I can make my hair an actual weapon and sharpen it… no harden it yeah… hehehe…"

Getting curious about what was going through her mind I used getting a mental laugh of her purpose wanting to master as soon as possible.

The main reason is that she won't ever have to worry about cutting her hair ever again and if anyone tries, they will have their blade or hands cut up for her hair.

Yeah…

I can totally see that happening.

Checking on my Scroll seeing my friends are trying the new skills out or at least learn them I grin seeing that I hope Team SMMK chooses the right decision so long as they follow along with my deal.

After all Roman is going to need some support when the Fall happens and I need him to control the Atlas and Mantle criminal world hopefully Sil would take the deal if not… I already gave Roman free reign to do to them.

/////

~Sil POV~

Following our new orders from Jacques we could only agree as we move forward back to Mantle to discuss our new objective against the CEO of Future Foundation. He texted us using his Scroll to come to this location.

My teammates followed shortly behind as we all came inside what seems to be an abandoned warehouse inside all of us getting our weapons at the ready.

Marton one our members began to use his Semblance just in case things go wrong and see if Jacques tries something funny when he responds back, "Nothing. No Dust here looks like the coast is clear Sil."

Yeah, stating the obvious numb nuts.

What bothers me though is the fact that the Schnee sent us here for what purpose seeing that we can't get anywhere near that island of the CEO of Future Foundation.

And we can't send in Mina to Menagerie since we have, and we know what happens to those that try to break in their HQ.

Makes me wonder what he does but for now our business is only talking cash.

When we enter inside the building of the abandoned warehouse in Mantle, we all got the chance to view a video monitor slowly turn on with – hey what's the Kingpin of Vale doing here in Mantle?!

And Smug Assassin is with him getting our guards up when Roman began to speak out to us in a calm tone, "Now their gents and ladies. Sil. Mina Lavender. Marton. And Khaki. I have here is a golden job opportunity for the of both us."

Raising our eyebrow at that Khaki the serious one of us in the team doing a job replied in a curious tone with the Kingpin of Vale, "What offer? Unless you have something worth more than the Schnee is paying us then what's stopping us from collecting your head?"

True despite being criminals we are by still legal means Huntsman and Huntresses capturing the likes of Roman and Smug Assassin could cash in a large amount of Lien.

However, what caught us by surprise is when Roman showed us a truck load of fucking Lien cards coming out with us caught by surprise when he spoke, "Well our benefactor thought I needed a new crew. One loyal by the money would do and skilled along with being theatric. My benefactor will pay higher than Jacques would in return you would provide service for us. What you say Team SMMK?"

My eyes were on the butt load of Lien with the amount easily beating Schnee and we all looked at each other and grinned replying and bowing to our new boss, "Whatever you say boss man. If your benefactor is providing us this much how could we ever refuse."

Like that we were hired on the spot.

Easily this pays well with what that CEO had.

Adding the fact, we also managed to find out that Jacques was trying to sell us to Atlas authorities right away we managed to catch wind of his schemes and thought to deal with him when he give us our pay face to face or plan.

But betraying him feels so much better since he planned to backstab us.

So long as the person is willing to pay higher than our client will betray them without a second thought if the job and cash was worth it.

That's how we Team SMMK got hired by the higher bidder.

Like that we joined Roman crew for the time being so long as the Lien starts flowing, we work.
