"Dialogue"

{Scroll}

Bad news, I lost my beef rib.

Press 'F'.

But on the bright side, I tested the creation of special ammunition with my semblance using Aura, got a little revenge on Cardin, and even earned some points with Velvet on top of it.

Overall, it's been a good day.

"Arc! We need to talk."

I spoke too soon; Weiss approached me with a serious face, not that she had any other expression during the first season.

Is she here to complain about the smell? Velvet didn't complain, and she was at the epicenter of my bomb, not to mention her Faunus sense of smell was better than that of humans.

"Speak up, Snow White, what's going on?"

The girl in white glared at me with disdain over the nickname. I was never a big fan of Weiss, especially in the early chapters, and I'm not interested in having to make an effort to accelerate her character development.

"I'll overlook the disrespect."

Disrespect? It was just a nickname.

"I'd like to talk about your semblance."

"Hmm."

I scratched my chin, thinking about what would happen to the series canon if Weiss had access to my semblance.

"No, thanks." I replied, turning away from her and heading toward my team.

"Arc, wait!"

Ozpin is already sour because I created 2 magical items without his "permission." Although there's no efficient way to locate magic users, he said tracking magical items was more plausible.

I promised not to make weapons too powerful to attract attention.

"Jaune Arc, I haven't finished speaking with you, come back here this instance."

There goes my dream of making a Megazord...

"You're wasting your money, you fool."

Money?!

I stop immediately and spin on my heels.

"How much?"

She opens an arrogant smile, as if she were an anime villain about to start a monologue.

"More money than you've ever seen in your life or will ever have a chance to see."

I stop her with my raised hand.

"Save me the speech."

This is a bad idea, and I shouldn't entertain her. I should tell her to go to hell and never ask me about it again.

"I won't discuss my semblance with you... in public."

The heiress gives me a victorious smile. I need to keep my semblance a secret, but I also want a Megazord in the near future.

And this whole thing about promising Ozpin not to make powerful weapons, a Megazord is a giant robot, not a weapon... they just come with giant swords, laser cannons, and explosives.

You know what, screw what Ozpin wants; he's the last person in this world who can complain that someone lied to him.

"There's a café in the city of Vale, Atlesian Spring, frequented by important people who need to conduct discreet business."

Sounds like a place frequented by Jeffrey Epstein's friends.

"Okay... but you're paying."

"Me?! The gentleman should pay in this kind of situation."
