64

I start to hum to the tune of one of Mordred's favorite song while i look up at the night sky.

The night sky here is really beautiful, i could see the start much clearer than i had ever been back at home.

I think it was because of the less light polution here which is to be expected considering the lack of.. almost everything here.

Where when in Vale we would have town or cities, here its mostly settlement with lack of funding to have the convinience of dust powered electricity let alone traditional electricity which is much cheaper by itself compared to dusts.

Mordred would love this... use just laying down on the ground and looking up at the sky... but we never reallly have much of a chance to do this kind of things unless we sneak out of the house late at night and even then we couldn't sleep outside till morning because of the risk of any of our family members finding us missing from our room.

I wonder if mom is worried about me.. well i know that she is worried considering that her only son is missing.. but i'm more curious about if she is worried worried... like the one that she couldn't eat or do anything.

I don't want that.. i hope that Mordred would help mom get through this or any of my sisters.

And dad? He is probably still searching for me.. i just hope that he would only think to search within Vale and doesn't reach out to Vacuo.

He is kind of a friend with the Headmaster of beacon and if he asked the headmaster to resch out to shade's headmaster about me? Well.. i would probably be shipped back straight to Orleans in a box.

I let out a chuckled and look at the sleeping duo.

Hans is... how could i say this but.. he isn't suited for to fight with a knive.. he keep putting too much power into the motion and let himself be overextended and a lot of bad things.

8 years old me.. hell, the me before i unlock my Aura is a better fighter than him, he's is similiar to me in the sense that fighting style isn't the one for him.

He probably is more suited for a different type of weapon...

A mace? Probably...

A bat? I don't think so...

A sword? No, he doesnt have the finesse for it.. he's much more like a brute when fighting... not that its bad, a strong enough brute could overpower a person's skill.. and even then a person's skills can outmatch a brute's strength..

He... i don't know why but i have a feeling that he is more suited for a... hammer.. yeah.. a hammer.. not the little one for construction.. but a Hunter's Hammer..

I then close my eyes and start to take a deep breath. 'Why do i even have the feeling of knowing which weapons suited him more? I never even seen a hunter before.. bladed weapons are much more common.. its.. the same feeling again..'

I sigh and start to think about all of the weird anomaly that had been happening inside of my brain.

First.. the two rapist.. i know that i should.. no i would feel guilty hurting them that badly let alone killing them.. and yet i didn't feel any guilt.. what is wrong with me? Because that is.. that is horrifying.. its like putting your hand on a open fire knowing that it would burn you and yet it doesn't burn you at all.. it is so out of.. your expectation.

And the voices.. i couldn't remember what the voices exactly said.. but i heard it... i know i did and i wasn't hallucinating.. so what is happening!? Am i having a mental breakdown because i ran away from home?

It can't be that right? I feel... normal.. well less than normal but that is because i missed Mordred and the rest of my family so much but you get my point.

I take a deep breath. 'Well Jaune.. you get the whole night to think about it.. for now.. think about what's important.. like the fact that the Red Cactus is investigating who killed the 2 rapists..'

'I am pretty sure that i didn't leave any evidents but i wasn't exactly being quiet.. kicking a person head into a wall turns out created a loud sound.' I then starts to try and think about what else i could leave as an accident. 'Fingerprints? I did pull the 2 rapists our of the holes but my fingerprints shouldn't be able to be tracked considering that i don't think my fongerprints had been registered in the database unless mom or dad did it while i was a baby.. but my fingerprints now shouldn't resemble the one i have when i was a baby right?'

I tilt my head in a thinking pose before i shake it. 'No i don't think it should resemble it considering that callusses on my hands and also got some on my finger tips.. its enough to distort my fingerprint a little and it should go back to normal if i remove my calluss and what not..' i then smirked and nod to myself as i got a huge idea. 'I don't think i need to remove my calluss for a few years now or until i become an actual hunter.. if it did indeed distorts my fingerprints then i hopefully should be able to get my own ID without trigerring any alarms if dad asked the Beacon headmaster to search for me that extensively.'

'Oh Jaune.. you brilliant boy!... oh yeah.. i almost forgot but i need to cover up the Arc Family insignia on Croeca Mors shield, twin yellow cerscent moon is easily recognizable and would be easily be tracked down if dad found out that i also stole Croeca Mors..' i then look at my sword and give it a soft smile. 'It may not feel perfect in my hands.. but she will be my companion for years a head.. and unlike any modren mechashift weapons, i would need to repair it every time a gear is stuck or things like that.. thats why i love a simple weapon, no need to over complicate it because if a weapon have 100 moving parts then that also meant that the weapon have 100 possible Problems.'

I chuckled and remember's dad sword. 'I guess dad also doesn't like overcomplicated weapon.. i think his weapon is just a simple high wuality greatsword and thats it.. unless he just never show us its hidden mechashift picture..'

'And considering that Croeca Mors was Grandpa's weapon then.. i guess it is expected that Dad took after him and i took after dad.. after all there's a saying.'

'Like father, like son.'
