MAKI'S POV
"An exclusive Restaurant in Asakasa, Tokyo, was attacked today-"
"So there was a leaker..." I mumbled out while looking at the news with Mister Tosaki
"Your idea that normal people would work for Sato was correct Araki..." Mister Tosaki says and I sweat
The fact that he did talk to me about his plan so lightly meaning that he had done it more than once,
Similar to Mattie's parents that the people they sell to would keep quiet about it for money and demands.
Human Nature is a terrifying thing...
"Have you read through it?" Mister Tosaki asks me and I nod handling him the file he gave me
It was information of the Minister that we will protect for the encounter of Sato and his team,
And Sato's Military File itself that on about itself was clean for an Honorable Discharge...
What could have led him to go down this path was what I kept asking him...
___________
Control your breathing and focus...
And then
BAM!
"How long can you keep doing that? Can't you atleast speed it up?" I sigh hearing Nagai behind me that watched as I blew a barrel from inside by casting a ball of energy like a grenade.
"Think of it as like constructing a grenade, it has alot of process that it takes long....Look! Its a miracle that I could make it happen in 10 seconds!" I tell him and looks down at me
"10 seconds is too long. And have you even made a grenade before?" He asks me
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"No..." I say sweating that he face palmed
"Its been a week and all you ever done was make a wall, fly, and make whatever that thing happen."
"Atleast you know how to handle a gun and a traq...You're no different to a human with a weapon..." He tells me
"Just don't complicate the things that you do..." we turn to Miss Shimomura who walks to us
"Nagai, I'll take over. Mister Tosaki called you to the meeting room." She tells him and he nods walking away
How can I not complicate something so complicated...
I sigh going back to it again
"Are you having a hard time doing that?" Miss Shimomura asks me and I stop
"It's hard enough that it actually hurts me so bad when it explodes on me...im scared that I'll actually lose a limb or even my life playing with my power..." I say looking at my hands
"You had seemed to have enjoyed it from what I've seen you do on those clips on your games." She tells me and I sweat having someone so calm of me cheating on volleyball
"That...that was different...is...is this what it feels like being an Ajin? Different from a normal person that you feel so out of place even with yourself?" I ask Miss Shimomura
I then stop because she is still my superior.
"S-SORRY! I'LL GO BACK TO IT! I SWEAR I'LL GET THIS RIGHT!" I say sucking it in and casting an energy ball
"Wait-" I hear her say and I panic that it glowed that it was about to explode
I tried to throw it but what it ended up doing was that it formed into a beam that sliced through the building and sky-
I-
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" I hear Nakano ask and I was pulled with Miss Shimomura back from the falling building
T-two buildings....
"Araki..." I flinch looking at Mister Tosaki behind me
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT HAD HAPPENED!
"Mister Tosaki, I accidentally disturbed her concentration. I will accept the consequences that follows..." Miss Shimomura says and I look at her then standing up
"N-NO! I WILL CONTROL IT! It was my-"
"Will you just be quiet, all you kept saying was that you will control it...just show us that you can than telling us." Nagai says and I glare at him
"Says you, you jerk! You can't even control your IBM!" I get into his face
"Stop it you two" Nakano divide me from Nagai
"Araki. Can you do that thing again? But in a smaller scale?" Mister Tosaki asks me while he still looked at what I did.
"It...it'll be dangerous and I might cause more damage than results..." I say looking down
"You didn't get the results you wanted on your volleyball cheat without breaking your backyard." Miss Shimomura tells me and I sweat remembering the time I broke our wall...
"If results will happen then go for it...you are, by far stronger than Sato..." I sweat when Mister Tosaki says
Isn't that just putting me way too high...
"He's right you know! Maybe you can beam Sato off the face of the earth with that attack!" Nakano tells me and I sweat
"Sato is just a human that can't die...if you can fly, immune to bullets, be faster than normal, do whatever that was. Then you're better than he could ever be...He'll make you a target for the fun of it." Nagai says
"For the fun of it...?" I hesitantly asked
"Sato...isn't some revolutionary or team player...He's nothing but a good for nothing High Roller like you were with your powers on a game..." He tells me
"You're in his game playing with cheats...if he discovers that then he will do everything on his power to get you."
"Just get good." Nagai tells me
I sigh looking back at the damage I caused.
It wasn't so different to the time that Sato drove a plane to crash on a building...
If only Mattie was here...she'd know what to do...

MATHILDE'S POV
"So some memories become yours..." I say and Oscar nods
"That must be difficult for you...having that type of experience is complicated for you as a person...I'm sure you're overwhelmed." I pat him on his head and he frowns nodding
"Don't worry...if you have worries and doubts you can count on me to hear you about it. I had the same doubts when I was brought here..." I tell him
" You're friend...is he here? The other one that also became like you?" Oscar asks me and I shake my head to no
"Not that im sure about it...I don't think he's here... my friend Kei is smart...even if he was here, he'd do all he can to adapt and succeed...I'm not to worried for him being here, he's not one to side with the other forces." I say
"How...are you so sure?" He asks and I smile
"He wants to be a doctor...and he cares about his future and family... he doesn't look like it when you'd first meet him... that is just the type of person Kei is." I pour him some tea that I made
Oscar looks outside the train window and I did too in awe.
"Your world is fascinating...even when its run by the fears of Grimms the Fantasy setting of it for its people to have the ability to fight back intrigues me..." I say out of the blue
"It's weird...to know that there is a different world out there. With different people and things...I didn't even think that it was possible..." Oscar says and I smile
"Adapting to everything and the new life we have is an experience that only a few would fight to have... you and I Oscar...we are one of the Lucky ones." I tell him but I noticed him frown a bit.
Does he not think the same way?
"Y-yeah..." He mumbled out and I closed my eyes having to save my energy
"Fro will protect us, so please rest easy for now..." I tell him
_____________
"So this is Haven..." I smile looking at the places all over and it did infact have resemblance to asian culture
"Right...You've never been out from Vale before..." Oscar says and I look at him
"What about you? Surely you come here at some often to get materials unavailable at your home." I ask him and he nodded
"Yea...but never really alone, or was possessed by some spirit with his memories of this place..." He says sulking and I pat his head
"Come now, lets check ourselves in an inn then I'll cook us dinner after we explore their shops here. How does that sound?" I ask him and he smiles and nods
We walked for a while and entered our separate rooms, I look around comparing it to an average 4 star hotel in japan.
"Hey uhm...He'd like to talk to you?" Oscar knocked on my door and I opened
"Headmaster Ozpin?" I ask and pulled him a chair as I see Oscar's eyes change including his tone of voice
"Miss Loisel...are you sure you do not wish to head to Atlas directly? Who knows what could happen to you if they do come in Haven." He says and I nod
"I'm ready for any trouble that will come Headmaster."
Tho I sweat over the fact of why the sudden overprotective behavior when currently we are low numbered.
"I have made more mistakes than any woman, man, or child... I do not want to bring you into this madness against Salem." He rubs his forehead and I raise a brow
"But you will with Oscar? Headmaster if I may be blunt. He's less but a child and no battle experience. We could be now in years of disadvantage with your and the current state of the world." I tell him
"But you are a different case! You are an outsider of this world and if Salem gets her hands on you then she will not stop until she-!" he stops and grips his fists on a table
The only possible answers if he were to continue was probably that Salem escapes to a different world, or she makes another portal to summon more
Which what we already discussed!
At this point, going to Salem isn't even already a bad option if she has the upper hand!
"Headmaster." I look down at him
"What other information are you hiding from me?" I ask him and he sweats
Thats right... I've always had this thought lingering in the back of my mind
"If you were at war with Salem in the most of your Reincarnations...and failed. Are you hiding the fact that Salem is also immortal?" I ask with a blank expression
"Miss Loisel..."
"I need an answer, Headmaster...nothing else..." he looks at Fro that shadows over me
I then sigh and look away from him.
"Fro go take a walk..." I tell her and she opens the door and left.
The Headmaster looks down and I look back at him.
The answer was clear on his expression but for whatever reason, hiding the information that Salem is immortal brings us more into a disadvantage
"How did your war began with Salem? That would be a simple question." I ask him and he still looks down
"I....Can't..I can't share that to you...my apologies..." he says and I close my eyes
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Then goodluck defeating Salem..." I tell him as I stood up
I'm not sure if he had planned this the moment I arrived but one thing is clear.
That he made me feel an attachment to those in Vale so I'd stay on their side as a disguise to not make me move for an answer at all!
God I'm so tired of this madness.
Why am I even dealing with this in the first place.
I had packed most of my belongings and leave the door.
This world is just as untrustworthy as mine after all...
"Hello I'd like to leave early. I do not need refunding." I say giving the key to the innkeeper
___________
What even I am to do...?
I open my eyes sharing a vision with Fro as I sat in a bench pretending to take a nap to look at the area
Fortunately Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and Ren with Qrow is here. But they seemed to be in a medical emergency...
Should I just tell them of what I know?
Or should I just stop acquainting myself with them?
Does this involve Miss Peach?
Cardin?
I sigh holding my hand to my head
Wait
"General Ironwood..." right! A man with military! He's the one that needs this information and can gear me to encounter Salem!
To Haven's Headmaster it is...
