Chapter 19 - The New World

Total Power: 8-A (Power far exceeding even an ordinary superhuman. The ability to influence an area of several city blocks or equivalent areas of space)

I read my characteristics a couple of minutes before the end of the time for deciding whether to take on a mission or not. Daily training in new powers, alchemy, the embodiment of objects through drawings, and the creation of potions allowed assimilation to increase at a fairly high speed.

Albedo (B) (90%)

But even so, it was not enough for assimilation to end more battles and experience in battle are needed for assimilation to continue. Well, or continue to use alchemy, as an option. During this week of continuous assimilation, I became much stronger, literally feeling changes in my body, which by the way Cortana confirmed as soon as I went to the analyzer.

My muscles have become several times denser, however, this also applies to the rest of my body, because even the skin, remaining ordinary in appearance, can withstand bullets without problems. If you also use Senjutsu, then even large-caliber rifles don't do me any harm.

When the percentage of assimilation reached fifty, I felt as if I had reached some threshold, as if... the process of accepting something. And my thoughts were correct because at that moment a beautiful-looking sword appeared in front of me - Cinnabar spindle.

It was as if he was just waiting for me to become stronger so that he could lie in my arms... not that it was true, but that was exactly how I felt at that moment. This sword was a truly powerful weapon for me because as soon as I carried out a small check with my current knowledge, I concluded that the Metal of the Gods was used in its creation, that is, the Eighth.

Even with the help of alchemy, it would be hard for me to change it as if its density is too great for me at the moment… which may well be true. No matter how strong I am, I have not reached the power of God yet.

But I'm making an effort to do it. Especially since I found a way to increase the performance of alchemy - magical circles from the world of DxD. The books that Rias sent suggested the idea of creating circles and some seals for herself. After all, they simplify control and increase strength, if, of course, you create a correct and working circle. With their help, I now don't necessarily need to touch objects to use alchemy, although it is still desirable, because even with seals without touching, the performance of alchemy drops somewhat.

Time to make a decision: 2 minutes

After checking that I had two small suitcases in my hands, I sighed and looked around the room.

"Cortana, are you recording everything?"

"Yes, as you ordered." I heard confirmation from the AI. " I won't be able to keep in touch with this place if we really get into another world, but a couple of hours won't spoil anything."

"Good..." I nodded. In the note to the mission, it was written that the world of RWBY is far enough away and time will be distorted. Day there is an hour here, so no one should notice my absence, the same applies to other participants. Soon the time came to an end and a sign appeared confirming the mission, so I chose to agree to it after that I was swallowed up in darkness for a moment.

The Kingdom of Vale is one of the four kingdoms of Remnant, which is located in the eastern part of the continent of Sanus. It is here that the Beacon Academy is located, where hundreds of hunters are trained to protect humans and fauns from Grimm creatures. And today there were many visitors from different parts of Remnant because it was today that the fortieth The Vytal Festival took place.

Five figures appeared on the roof of one of the buildings of the capital. Four of them could easily be identified as a female with different body proportions, but the fifth was clearly male.

"Strange feeling, not like our usual teleportation." the first to speak was a red-haired beauty with blue eyes and pleasing-to-the-eye shapes. (Picture)

"In life, they are even more ..." another girl spoke up, smaller than the red-haired one and with ... less prominent forms, but with a pretty enough face and purple hair. She looked directly at the chest first, and then looked down at her "mounds". The girl herself was dressed in dark clothes resembling a military uniform and in one of her hands was something resembling a black key. (Picture)

"Um, h-hello?" clearly not yet recovered from the shock of teleportation, the blonde in the school uniform muttered. She was still blinking and started rubbing her eyes with her hands. (picture)

"Indeed, it has moved... clearly better than the apparition." A brown-haired girl with somewhat unruly hair said and she was holding a wand in her hand. (picture)

The only representative of the opposite sex has already come to his senses and ... covered his face with his palm.

"Erina... why are you in school uniform?" I asked the girl, who immediately looked at me, and then looked at everyone and was clearly embarrassed. "Okay Rias, she's already lost, but where are you going?"

"Hey!" said Rias, crossing her arms under her chest, looking at the guy with an interested look and with a small smile. "Why am I lost?"

"Because you're an exhibitionist with huge... eyes, yes." Shinoa said with an unchanged expression on her face.

"You're just like Koneko... only more perverted." Gremory said, and as if mocking her, she highlighted her massive breasts even more.

"I was just really nervous." Erina said, trying not to look anyone in the eye.

"What a flower garden here. Administrator-kun, don't look at such an innocent virgin like that, otherwise, I may prematurely cum." the girl smiled a little and lifted her skirt, clearly enjoying the reaction of those gathered here. (picture)

"Pervert! " Hermione shouted and yelled when Shinoa was right in front of her face. She wasn't using any magic, she was just moving fast.

"In my world, this is normal."

"... Don't blame your behavior on the world" Hermione answered a little later, who realized that she had no chance to resist this fragile-looking girl.

"Cortana, are you connected?" I asked aloud.

"Yes, I'm picking up the signal. I reproduce the strongest." for a moment, the watch on my hand blinked with light and a hologram of some stadium appeared above them, in the center of which was a red-haired girl with green eyes, who looked with shock and horror at... a dismembered orange-haired robot girl.

"Hmm, so one of my assumptions is correct." I nodded, remembering such a moment in the plot. I was just counting either on a train with a huge amount of dust or at this moment.

"What's that?" Rias asked with interest, coming closer to me.

"The Colosseum." I said and pointed up. There was a large enough structure in the sky, where the festival is taking place, and now Cortana was able to catch a strong signal from the live broadcast.

"I would like to talk to you more in reality, but we don't have time right now". I put the second suitcase that I was holding in my left hand on the ground. " Hermione, come to me, please." I called the girl, who, after a little hesitation, came up. "Do you see the recess for the hands? Put your own in there so that the armor identifies you and you can use it." I told her.

"Um, are there such technologies in the future? I've heard about fingerprints, but this is clearly something more technological... oh." as soon as she obediently put her hands in the recess, nanorobots began to crawl over her hands and envelop her body. Soon before us stood not the sorceress-Hermione, but a rather menacing iron sorceress.

"It's for your protection, Cortana will explain everything to you. Erina. " I looked at the blonde, who was still looking around with interest.

"I... yes." she did the same thing as Hermione, and soon she was also standing fully clad in armor.

"It looks very good. Shinoa commented and tapped Hermione's armor with her fist. "And how strong is this armor?"

"A tank shell at point-blank range will withstand without problems." I said, and some characteristic parts of the armor began to show up from under my clothes. It did not completely envelop me, only parts of my chest, arms, and legs for flight. "Cortana, what's going on with the broadcast?"

"Getting access to the sound. The encryption methods I'm used to are very different here, but nothing serious. But for full access to the local network, I need to connect to it directly. " AI said, and soon we heard a rather beautiful female voice.

" ... nothing more than men. Our academies' headmasters wield more power than most armies and one was audacious enough to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference. And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students?

"Agitation speeches?" Gremory whispered, tilting her head slightly to the side.

"She is, as I recall, our enemy. One of those who want to create hype, and for people to succumb to negative emotions to attract a Grimm." I said, checking if I could somehow influence the broadcast ... no, I can't. You need to get access to the network, which, as far as I know, can be obtained either through the Beacon itself or... from somewhere else.

"... Our kingdoms are at the brink of war yet we, the citizens, are left in the dark. So I ask you: when the first shots are fired... who do you think you can trust?"

"That doesn't sound very encouraging." said Hermione, whose voice was clearly audible, as Cortana immediately revealed her face. The girl was obviously nervous, it was perfectly visible and audible. Her wand was inside the suit, but if she asked, Cortana could give it to her.

"W-what is this?" Erina stammered. Sirens sounded and a female voice said about threat level nine and immediately there was a loud sound from the sky... there was something huge and black with wings.

"Cortana, follow the "Hot Festival" protocol. We need to protect Beacon and the people. Girls." I looked at Hermione and Erina, who was frozen, and just didn't know how to behave, everything was happening too fast. "I recommend you to go to Beacon, even from here you can see it." I pointed to a rather large building somewhat resembling a palace in the distance. " It will be less dangerous there than near the Colosseum, which is where I'm going."

"Why would you go there?" asked Rias, who, due to lack of knowledge, decided to listen to me ... maybe not only because of this.

"People haven't all evacuated there yet and there will be more of these Grimm birds." I took off a little using repulsors in my legs and arms. "Choose where you will go?"

"I'm with you administrator-kun." Shinoa literally jumped on me and grabbed my back, which somewhat prevented the flight, but it didn't take a second for me to stabilize in the air.

"Our main goal is to protect Beacon and the city." Gremory said.

"Exactly. Catch." I threw her a communicator. "Stick it to your ear and you can hear us. Once I get access to the network here, I'll be able to guide you better." a small drone detached from my back and flew up. "As soon as Shinoa and I help there, we will immediately head to you. And Rias, don't worry about your wings and magic, there are other people here." I looked at the red-haired one who nodded to me and at the moment she had two black wings. "As soon as we finish we can talk normally, good luck." I gave them the thumbs up and took off abruptly.

"Wooow." Shinoa shouted with dilated eyes, holding onto me. An ordinary person would not be able to hold on like that, he would rather hurt his hands. There were also various aircraft flying in the sky, or rather near the Colosseum itself, and they are most likely needed for the evacuation of people.

We arrived just in time, as a giant black bird with a skull mask broke the energy shields of the Colosseum, which replaced the ceiling, and dived down. With his landing, Grimm created a gust of wind that knocked down a red-haired girl who still hadn't recovered from the shock that she had recently dismembered another girl... even a robot girl.

"Looks like a Horseman." said Shinoa, who was watching this Grimm closely as soon as we started to descend, she jumped away from me and a huge scythe transformed in her hands, with which she punched the head of the Grimm when landing.
