《Path to Godhood: The Silver King (RWBY)》


 Prologue. - Silva

    In a nightly sky, on the road a young adult sighed as he walked around the streets. His complexion looked pale and tired. He was an engineer graduate, named Silvestre, with Latin American heritage, his skin was tanned brown. He had just returned from another long day of job hunting, quite disappointed as most of the good jobs were taken by people with connections.


    While it¡¯s true his grades were not outstanding, they were not bad as he was a good student. Yet the reason for this, was that he was an orphan. His parents were illegal immigrants, whichleft their home in order to find a better life.


    Yet things didn¡¯t go well for them as they died in an accident, which left no survivors and leaving him alone. Because of his nonexistent background, he was sent to a foster home, which didn¡¯t help him at all as without papers he was not able to be adopted. Because of that, he grew all alone, by the time he was able to get papers .His golden age for adoption had swiftly passed.


    Growing up he took many different jobs in order to put himself through college, even though they died, his parents had done much things in order to try to give him a new life, so he wanted to made them proud. Because he still continued working during his college life, his grades and relationships were affected.


    Reaching his small apartment, he took his key and entered the apartment. Inside he reached the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of water, his gaze turned blurry as he looked at the paper on top of a small table. It was not other than an Eviction Notice Form, one he received the day before yesterday.


    No matter how many times he looked at it, there was nothing but sadness and rage that filled his heart, the building he lived in, was considered old. So after some decision the owners had decide to sell it, to some rich tycoons. He understood that no matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t change their decisions.


    Walking towards his bedroom, he immediately laid down. His mind was tired, his eyes were blurry as different emotions crossed between them. Finally he sighed once more before reaching his phone and opening YouTube. Watching a few videos, he tried to clear his mind.


    He was a big fan of anime and books, he had to say, that he truly loved their funny interactions. Of course he was not the diehard type, one of his favorites series at the moment was RWBY, because it¡¯s cool weaponry and world building. The only thing he couldn¡¯t comprehend was to call it anime or not.


    He enjoyed RWBY because its fantasy yet futuristic settings, leaving aside he was a small fan of the Grimm Brothers. Finally, after finishing the last chapter, he saw the time on his phone and put it aside. Closing his eyes the only thought left on his mind was ¡°Do I truly want this?¡±

    After closing his mind, he suddenly found himself in a white space room, looking around confused, he suddenly realized that there was something in front of him, a small floating crystal. Filled with curiosity, he gently touched it, at that moment, the crystal shined and projected a few words in front of him.

    AS THE STORY HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED, IT CAN¡¯T BE GRADED.


    DO YOU ACCEPT THE OPPORTUNITY? YES/NO


    ¡°What is this? A Dream, right?¡± Seeing the words projected in front of him, he couldn¡¯t help but become stunned, everything looked to surreal for him. Maybe he had gone crazy from all the stress and problems he had. Yet no matter how much he asked, nobody answered him back.


    Taking a deep breath, he thought seriously and he couldn¡¯t help but thinking of accepting. He was alone, no family, no lover, not many people he could call friends, and a crappy life. Even if everything was not but a dream, he still moved his hand and pressed the Yes. At that moment the projection changed, and a neutral voice was heard on his mind.


    YOU HAVE ACCEPTED, CONGRATULATIONS


    AS THE RISK IS GREAT, YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE OF DEFINING YOUR POWER.


    PLEASE SAY OUT LOUD.


    Hearing the system, he immediately thought that this meant he could define his semblance. Quite excited he immediately thought hard about it, after all he didn¡¯t want to obtain a useless ability. After some time, he remembered that the color silver was quite important, so he quickly made a decision. ¡°I decided it, I want the power of Damocles, the Silver King¡±

    NAME ACCEPTED: BON VOYAGE!

 1. - RWBYS: Summer Rose

    A plane abandoned by the Gods, a broken moon, a remnant of the great age, an unforgiving world where the creatures of Grimm set sights on the mankind and its creations. Within a forest a boy moved with incredible speed within the trees, behind him a small size beast with black fur and a skull head with red marks followed him, similar looking to a wolf.


    As the boy moved, his speed started to slow down, he looked to be breathing heavily. Noticing this, the black wolf like creature roared and sped up trying to catch him. What he didn¡¯t realize was that the boy had a smile plastered on his face as he saw the creature reaction.


    Finally catching up, the creature jumped towards him, trying to pin him down. At that moment the boy moved to the side, evading the creature. As the monster touched the ground, the earth shook, creating a hole on the ground, trapping the creature in the earth.


    Quickly the boy took from his pocket a shining silver crystal, filled with visible silver marks. Immediately he threw the crystal inside the hole, the moment the creature and the crystal came in contact, a brightly silver light appeared from the hole, together with a wail.


    After that everything returned to silence. Moving closer to the hole, the boy looked inside and noticed that only a small quantity of ash remained. Suddenly the boy smiled brightly as a voice was heard on his ears.


    QUEST UPDATE:


    KILL 15 YOUNG BEOWOLVES (15/15)


    REWARD: 300 POINTS


    ¡°Good! Now I have enough¡± he laughed as he checked the total of 2200 points he had collected. Looking around he started running away from the place, he knew that the creature wail had probably alerted many others.


    The boy was no one but Silva, for him it turned out that he was not going crazy. As the instant he woke up, he found himself in a new place surrounded by trees. At that moment he realized, it was not a dream. His body had returned to when he was a kid, together with a part of his mentality.


    His new appearance was similar to when he was young, only a bit cuter, he had tanned skin, and his hair and eyes turned the color of his aura, silver. Just like the system told him, he had obtained much knowledge about aura, and he couldn¡¯t help but being impressed by its true utility. But meaning you know about it, doesn¡¯t mean you how to use it, thankfully the system had granted him the power to utilize it.


    In any case, the system had not abandoned him. After all, right at the moment of his awakening, it had given him quests, in order to survive the forest where he was located. The quest rewarded him with points, and Silva could use these points to buy small things, markings and knowledge from the system¡¯s store.


    He could not obtain things that went against the world laws, so many overpowered things didn¡¯t appear on the system¡¯s store. Silva didn¡¯t care, as some markings could replicate many cool abilities.


    And he still had a vast knowledge of different series so he was not worried, the power of the Silver King appeared as a Sword Tattoo on the top of his chest, right by his heart. When the system told him the power of the Silver King was greatly limited, it meant that of the three different Silver King abilities, he had only obtained one.


    It was the power of inviolability, as his aura carried this trait. It not only helped him to heal his injuries at a great speed, but it could be said to be the weakness of the creatures of darkness, the Grimm. The only problem is that everything was related to the use of aura.


    For Silva, today marked the third month he had spent on this new world. Finally Silva reached his destination, looking in front of him, a cave blocked by a giant boulder. Moving towards the side, he touched a small mark hiding by the bushes and he swiftly disappeared.


    Inside the cave, Silva appeared as he said ¡°It was such a great idea to obtain, the Flying Thunder God Mark¡± right after, he walked further inside. The cost of the technique was not cheap, it was 2000 points and it was only the Second Hokage version, not the one refined by the Fourth Hokage.


    Finally he reached a part of the cave that was modified to look like a small home, once there he took a small rest by laying inside a weirdly shaped, but comfortable looking bed, doing that, his features were illuminated by the sunlight that came down from the top of the cave. All the running had left him a bit exhausted, because of the amount of aura he had utilized, he had to rest in order to recover it.


    Finally after recovering his breath, he got up towards weirdly shaped glass equipment that was on top a rocky table. ¡°Finally it¡¯s time¡± opening the system he used 2000 points to buy the thing he desired. Right after, the information flowed into his mind.


    Using his aura on the two fingers of right hand, four flying marks were drawn on the air, which entered the body of the object and tattooed it in four different directions. Taking a heavy breath, Silva withdrew his power and stared at the object, it looked like a round fish tank. From it, he could feel how pure energy started to gather into it from the surroundings.


    The more he looked the more satisfied he was with it ¡°Great! With this I won¡¯t have to buy dust from the system¡±


    The mark he bought from the system, was a dust refinement mark technique, or it would be better to call it a natural energy gathering mark, it worked in a way that attracted natural energy to a place, but when used in the fourth cardinal directions, it would concentrate all the energy into a single spot, creating dust crystals. After all, dust is basically made from natural energies.


    The mark was something he could create using the power of his Semblance, the Markings of Damocles. During the time he spent in the world of Remnant he had understood many secrets about aura, explaining to him how Cinder could steal Amber Maiden Powers. The power of his semblance simply let him create this markings, without having to inscribe them with a tool.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    One of the advantages of the system, is that it could help him create different marks without waste time researching them, it would create any kind of ability he desired, the only problem was the amount of points they required. Leaving the container behind, he moved towards his bed and took a book from below, it was called RWBY: Basic Weapon Design another one of the system advantages.


    Finally after reading for how long, he felt asleep in the bed. It was midnight by the time he woke up, taking a look inside the glass container, he was happy to see a transparent dust crystal.


    ¡°Seems like I must have been asleep for quite the time¡± He couldn¡¯t help it, after all his body was of a child. Getting up, he moved towards the side of the room, where he had stored dried meat and took a few things out. Then moved towards the table, after taking a few bites at the dried meat, he took the crystal out and using his aura he dyed it, turning it silver.


    Giving a small laugh, he was about to finish eating when a small voice sounded in his ear, completely stunning him.


    MAIN STORY QUEST:


    SAVE SUMMER ROSE: STATUS (000/100)


    REWARDS: 6000 POINTS, UNLOCK SYSTEM¡¯S SECOND LEVEL, RANDOM REWARD


    DESCRIPTION: SAVE ONE OF THE STORY MOST MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS


    SUMMER ROSE HAS BEEN AMBUSHED AND HAS BEEN RUNNING AWAY, SHE IS CURRENTLY NOT FAR AWAY FROM YOUR LOCATION, AND WITHOUT YOUR HELP THE PROBABILITY OF HER DEATH IS 100%.


    PLEASE MOVE QUICKLY, IF MISSION IS FAILED, SYSTEM¡¯S INTERFACE WOULD BE TAKEN FROM HOST.


    ¡°What the hell? Isn¡¯t this forcing one¡¯s to act?¡± looking at the description, he couldn¡¯t help to feel shocked. This was forcing him to change the course of history, he knew who Summer Rose was. She was the mother of one the protagonists, and she played the most mysterious role in the series.


    Taking a breath his eyes turned serious, taking a paper from his pocket, he used his aura to mark it with the Flying Thunder God Mark. Silva had to do this, as he couldn¡¯t directly teleport, he could only teleport when he was in contact with the mark, and his body could still not bear the strain of marking itself.


    So he put the paper mark inside his worn out clothing, taking a short sword tattooed with silver marks, he quickly equipped himself. Making his way out of the cave and looking at the broken moon on the outside, he asked the system ¡°System can you give me directions?¡±


    ¡°Host target is currently located five hundred meters to his east and moving¡± Hearing the system. Silva moved as quickly as possible. Taking another marked paper from his pocket, he used aura to activate it, blending into the surrounding immediately.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    A bloodied young woman laid upon a tree, her cloak had long turned crimson from her blood, and her eyes looked blurry as she gazed at the being in front of her. Many thoughts came to her mind in what seemed to be her last moments, within her hands were what looked to broken chains. While the only things in her mind were thoughts filled with memories of her family.


    The being in front of her was a pitch black human like Grimm with a white bone mask and horns, on his hand, he held a bone spear, the monster showed no emotions as he moved closer to towards the woman.


    Suddenly the monster stopped moving, turning around he swung his bone spear to hit a flying silver sword, which broke upon contact with the weapon, just like a glass, flashing a blinding silver light to appear, causing intense pain for the creature as the light exploded close to him.


    Making the Grimm take a step back, while it used his hands to hold his face, three silver crystal were thrown towards it, exploding with a smaller yet more potent scale, completely maddening the creature as pain overcame his body. Right at the same time the explosion occurred, a small figure ran with immense speed towards the woman laying by the tree. The jet black creature that screamed in a soundless manner, moved his bone spear randomly, nearly hitting the small figure.


    Looking at this, the small figure hurriedly ducked and evaded the attack, jumping towards the woman before touching her hand and vanishing completely. While the creature continued breaking havoc around the place, as if fighting the pain coursing through its body.


    Finally after some time the Grimm recovered from the pain and looked around to find its target, only to see it had vanished without a trace. After some time of looking, the creature turned back and vanished in the night.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Inside the cave, a rough and panicked breathing was heard, Silva had a scared expression as he looked at the rock covering the cave. In the past he thought that it would be enough to protect him from the creatures outside, but at this moment Silva couldn¡¯t continue thinking that.


    ¡°What was that thing? I never saw such a scary Grimm on the series¡¯¡±


    ¡°With something like that following her, it was no joke that she died, it looked like a cold blooded murdering machine, thankfully the Mark of Concealment worked correctly¡±


    During the three months he had been living inside the forest, he had been using his points wisely in order to be able to preserve his life, even the way he hunted utilized carefully planned strategy. Even though with his strength he could battle an adult Beowolf he didn¡¯t have the equipment necessary.


    Taking another deep breath, he used his strength to carry the body of Summer Rose towards his bed, the moment that the distraction started Summer had lost consciousness and was in a delicate situation.


    After Silva finished moving her, he used the rest of his system points in order to buy a healing serum, even though with world restriction it wouldn¡¯t have magical capabilities. It would help stabilizing her injuries, as he used the power of his aura to heal her broken body.


    Making up his mind, he took out the two last two silver dust crystals he had left, and started absorbing their energy slowly to recover his own aura, after all they were created to hold his silver aura power, so he could absorb it back, while he did, he started sending Aura to her body in order to heal her.


    There would be no rewards if she died, after all the quest asked him to save her life, he couldn¡¯t let her fall. But even as healed her, he was afraid, because he was gambling. Gambling that the Grimm wouldn¡¯t come looking for them, he had seen many series, so he could understand what kind of monster it was. A killing machine that only knew how to follow orders.


    So he was gambling that after seeing her disappear, it would do the same too. If by any chance he made a mistake, then his life would reach the same end too. But he knew the system wouldn¡¯t give him a mission that couldn¡¯t be completed, after all, in front of that thing even a powerful Huntress like Summer Rose almost ended dead, so he would be nothing more like an ant in front of it.


    The only thing he could do was concentrate, and continue trying to save her life using all his power. His aura was weak compared to her, but its trait was not.

 2. - RWBYS: Meeting Qrow

    It was not to long after the commotion on the forest, that the figure of an anxious man was seen running within it. His eyes looked nervous and bloodshot as each step he took, moved off the ground even faster. It was not but a few minutes after Silva and the Grimm left, that the man reached the destination.


    Looking around the tree where summer had laid on, and seeing all the blood on the ground, the man eyes reflected immense grief, it was not long before he looked around and realized something was not right.


    ¡°This is not right, Summer should had already been spent by the time she got into the tree, there is no way there should be fighting marks at this place¡±


    ¡°Did somebody saved her?¡± Finally realizing the possibilities of her survival, he took out a scroll from his pocket and made a call.


    ¡°Oz, I need you to see if you can now locate Summer signal ¡°Said towards the man on the other side.


    ¡°I understand! Did you find something Qrow?¡±


    ¡°I found signs of a fight, yet from the amount of blood, Summer was no longer in condition to fight¡± Said towards the man, in a bit of a hurry.


    After a few seconds, Ozpin responded from the scroll ¡°I found her! I¡¯m sending you her coordinates¡±. Finishing the call Qrow looked at the location sent and immediately moved.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Inside the cave, it had been at least half an hour since the treatment started as Silva sent his aura little by little, in order to stabilize Summer, his head was filled with sweat. Finally after some time he stopped completely and looked at the crystal powder on his hand, the two crystal and the serum were barely enough to help him get through her treatment.


    Just as he was finally able to take a heavy breath, he could feel someone watching him. During the time he was treating Summer, he was so concentrated that he didn¡¯t notice someone sneaked behind his back. In fact it was only after he relaxed that he was finally able to feel the presence, this meant that the person behind him did this on purpose.


    It was not long since he had ran away taking Summer with him, so he was currently nervous and his body tensed up.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Just as he took a small marked knife from his bed a rough voice from behind talked to him. ¡°Relax Kid! I¡¯m not here to hurt you!¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    After following the direction from his scroll, Qrow reached a blocked cave, right in front of the rock he could distinguish a few footprint on the ground. Making him realize that someone lived in this place, but the thing that bothered him were the size of the footprints.


    ¡°A kid? Here? Impossible¡± Thinking twice, he decided against moving the boulder, and transformed into a bird in order to look for another entrance. After a few minutes he had finally located a hole through the top, enough for him to enter in his bird form. Masking his presence in order to avoid alerting the person inside he swiftly entered.


    Inside he was stunned by what he saw. With the help of the moonlight, he could perceive two figures. The one person, he was looking for was laying down on a roughly made bed. Right In front of her, a child was using his aura to repair her injuries. His small face was filled with sweat, but what shocked him the most was the color of his aura, pure silver.


    Qrow could sense the amount of aura he possessed, yet he was stunned by the quality of it. The boy¡¯s aura was quickly repairing most of her wounds. Qrow knew that he could not the process, as a tiny mistake could bring permanent damage. So he could only continue masking his presence, in order to not alert him.


    ¡°He seems to be of Yang¡¯s age¡± Qrow thought as he looked at the boy in front of him. Finally after who knows how long, he saw how her pale complexion eased a lot regained color, and the boy finally stopped to take a breath. Just as the boy took a relaxed breath, Qrow did too, releasing his masked presence.


    At the moment this occurred, Qrow saw the boy¡¯s body tense up ¡°Shit!¡± Looking at him, Qrow could no longer continue hiding and simply opened his mouth.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    The minute Qrow¡¯s voice came over. Silva couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned, he recognized the tone. After all, it belonged to one of his favorite characters. Turning around he saw man wearing a red cape, black hair and red eyes. It was no one but Qrow Branwen.


    The moment he saw him, Silva started checking him, while Qrow did the same. At the moment that Qrow looked at the boy in front of him, he couldn¡¯t help but get a bad feeling ¡°How the hell, can a kid his age be living in this dammed forest¡± many thoughts came to Qrow as he continued looking at him.


    After both saw each other, Qrow took a step forward and made Silva nervously move back. Sighing to himself, Qrow realized how stupid his action was, thinking he had scared the body. So Qrow tried talking to the boy with a small smile. ¡°Hello Kiddo! Sorry for scaring you, what¡¯s your name?¡±If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    Hearing him talk so awkwardly, Silva gave him a weird look and answered back after a bit. In fact Silva was not scared, it was just a reflexively action.


    ¡°Silva, just Silva¡± That was the name he had chosen with the system. He had just shortened his past life name in order, to fit into the world. Hearing his answer, Qrow couldn¡¯t help to sight lightly.


    ¡°Then Silva, the woman in the bed is a friend of mine¡± Qrow continued using a weird smile, as if trying ease the atmosphere around them ¡°Do you mind letting me check her?¡±


    Hearing Qrow continue talking like that, Silva couldn¡¯t help but chuckle while looking at his awkward appearance, embarrassing Qrow. After looking at his red but worried face, Silva simply said ¡°Ok!¡±


    Gaining his approval, Qrow hurriedly moved towards Summer side, and used his aura in order to examine her wounds and further heal her.


    Looking at Qrow by Summer side, Silva couldn¡¯t help but give a satisfied smile. Finally he had finally completed the mission. And right at that moment, the silent voice was heard once more, as a text appeared once more on his eyes, confirming his thoughts.

    SECOND REWARD: 6000 POINTS FOR SAVING SUMMER ROSE


    THIRD REWARD: CARTRIDGE SYSTEM DESIGN SCROLL


    Looking at the words and rewards he obtained, Silva couldn¡¯t help but feel dumbfounded. ¡°Path to Godhood? System what is that? Explain to me¡± Silva asked the system, as he read the description. He had finally obtained the system¡¯s true name of it, he recalled there were some unreadable words, the first moment he appeared on the white space.


    But he had completely forgotten about it ¡°That¡¯s the system¡¯s true name and Host purpose. Host was chosen by someone with higher authority, and sent to this world in order to conquer it!¡± The system monotone voice answered.


    ¡°Chosen? Who chose me? It was not you¡± Silva asked quite perplexed, this was the first time he received this information. Sadly the System only told him ¡°Sorry! Host currently doesn¡¯t have the necessary permissions neither the authority to know¡±


    ¡°What? The when would I have them?¡± Silva asked quite stunned by the system answer.


    ¡°When the host Global influence reaches fifty percent!¡±


    ¡°What! Doesn¡¯t that mean I have to conquer half of the world?¡± To his question the system simply remained silent, like it didn¡¯t want to give Silva any hints. Finally Silva decided to stop thinking about it, after finally obtaining what he desired. Silva was only left with more questions and he was mentally tired. He had spent at least half an hour stabilizing her, not only that, but saving her, had spent most of his stamina. So after he finally relaxed, it didn¡¯t took long before Silva lost consciousness.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    After expending most of his aura, Qrow finally stopped and looked at Summer. She had recovered to a greater extent, even though some of her bones were still broken, Summer¡¯s body was no longer bleeding.


    Taking a look to the side, Qrow realized that in a corner of the bed, the little boy name Silva was sleeping while sitting. Taking a deep breath, he took his cape off to cover him. Right after, he took a scroll out of his pockets and made a call.


    ¡°Qrow? What happened? Did you find her?¡± Ozpin voice was heard from the other side as his voice sounded quite worried. ¡°Yeah I did! I found her and something else¡± Qrow answered back.


    Hearing the tone of his voice, Ozpin said quite intrigued. ¡°Ho! Tell me¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    The next morning after Qrow reported towards Ozpin, Silva woke up by an aura reaction.


    ¡°Someone is moving the boulder!¡± Standing up in a hurry, Silva reached the place where the rock was supposed to be and found Qrow standing at the entrance.


    Feeling a presence at his back Qrow looked behind, and saw Silva standing shocked.


    ¡°Hey Kiddo! What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing his face, he asked a smug smile on his face.


    ¡°Where is the rock? What happened here?¡± Silva asked while ignoring the look on his face.


    Looking at his face Qrow smiled and said while pointing at the sky ¡°Up there¡±. Silva moved towards the outside the cave, and found the giant boulder being effortlessly held by floating rocks.


    ¡°You sure are cautious Kid, to put some kind of defense on the rock itself¡±


    ¡°If we didn¡¯t notice, we would have being taken by surprise, thankfully we had someone who realized on time¡±


    Shocked by what he saw, Silva asked ¡°then how?¡± to which Qrow was about to respond, only to be interrupted by a voice coming at the other side of Silva.


    ¡°It¡¯s because, the markings activate, when aura is used to move the boulder directly, not when is moved by something else, in other words as long as we don¡¯t directly intervene with the boulder, the markings will not activate¡±


    Hearing a man talking, Silva couldn¡¯t help but turn his head towards it. And saw a middle aged man with silver hair, wearing shade glasses together with a black suit, in his right hand a walking cane. He responded while he looking at the Flying Thunder God Mark pasted on the side of the rock.


    ¡°Marvelous! What an amazing application of spatial energy¡± he exclaimed as he appraised the marking, he was about to touch it when a stern voice came warned him.


    ¡°Headmaster! Please! This is not the right time¡± As the voice came from other side, Silva looked to the new direction, and saw a beautiful blonde woman, with green eyes and glasses holding a riding crop in her hands. Silva immediately realized that she was the one responsible for levitating the boulder.


    ¡°I understand! Glynda¡± he said as he stopped and stared at the boy close to him, looking at him with a small smile on his face he introduced himself.


    ¡°Hello Silva! My name is Ozpin¡±


    ¡°I came here for you, would you like to come with us?¡± just as Ozpin finished talking, in the ears of Silva the system talked.


    MAIN STORY QUEST:


    REACH VALE AND EXPAND YOUR INFLUENCE A THIRTY PERCENT: (000/100)


    REWARDS: RWBY: ADVANCED WEAPON DESIGN CRYSTAL, MARK OF BONDS, 100.000 POINTS

 3. - RWBYS: Negotiation

    At this moment Silva was taking a shower at tower of Beacon, after being asked to leave the forest by Ozpin, of course he wouldn¡¯t reject such offer. After so long, Silva was happy that he could finally use warm water to clean himself. Silva felt happy that everything he had gone through in that forest, finally came to an end.


    It seemed that the system transferred him in a relative safe zone within the forever fall forest, close to the border of Beacon. After cleaning himself, heleft the shower to a room where clothes were prepared for him, after drying himself with a towel, he got dressed. Currently he was wearing black shorts and a grey shirt.


    Taking a sight, he looked at the things he brought back from his cave. There were a few books and miscellaneous items, out of all, the thing he was worried the most was his dust refinement container. Silva had seen Ozpin being quite interested in it, he knew that at some point Ozpin would call him about it, such a thing, who wouldn¡¯t like to obtain. Looking at Ozpin reaction while he examined the Flying Thunder, Silva realized he was not surprised about the markings but their ability.


    He didn¡¯t know how things would go down, but he knew the kind of attitude that Ozpin displayed. Even in death he was relentless man. He knew he would probably try to put Silva under his power, but Silva didn¡¯t want that. He was not really satisfied with the way he did things in the series.


    Yet now he was living it, which was quite ironic. During the ride here, Silva had already explained them all of what he did and saw to save Summer. But his presence already created an incredible story change, so he would have to be prepared for everything. He knows the difficulty of doing as the system wanted, yet at the moment he still had time.


    Right now, everything he planned, needed a big reserve of money. Silva had already thought of using the power of his semblance in order to gain influence. He just needed the founding and this marked container was the biggest part of his answer.


    After thinking for a while, he decided to use the points he had gathered so far. Opening the system interface, Silva bought the Fusion Sword: Blade Designs for 3000 points. He had planned buying this design for a long time as he was a big fan of the sword. And it was the most suited for this kind of world, in order to utilize the Damocles Mark he needed a strong sword. Because if it not, the weapon would become brittle as if was glass. This is why the short sword he used broke with the first strike. The good side was that upon being broken would release incredible power, the bad side is that the mark can only be in one sword at time.


    During the past three months he had obtained an Intermediate Knowledge of Mechanics of the RWBY world. The only way he could have a fast understanding was reading by reading books bought from the system. They were cheaper that knowledge crystals, but he would not forget upon reading them once.


    Looking in the system the completion of eighty five percent of the book of Basic Weapon Design, Silva knew he could finish it today and using 1500 points, he bought the book of Aura Circuit Mark Manual, which could deepen his understanding of Marks of Enchantment.


    After two hours of reading while waiting for Ozpin call. Silva had finally finished the book of Basic Design, and was about to start the next book, when the blonde beauty named Glynda entered the room.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Entering the room that they provided the boy called Silva. Glynda took a good look at the child, he was reading a book with great interest. After cleaning himself, the boy looked quite decent. A cute child in her opinion, but deep inside she knew they could not underestimate him. By Qrow words, he had said that the boy in front of her, was the responsible of saving Summer¡¯s life and seemed to have quite the skill, as he saw how he stabilized Summer near dead condition.


    Looking at the boy Glynda said ¡°Hello Child, I ask to please follow me. The headmaster wants to see you¡±


    Hearing the call, Silva just nodded and followed her leaving behind the book at the bed. Moving towards the elevator Silva couldn¡¯t help but be stunned by the sheer size of the tower, too see it from outside was one thing but being inside is another.


    Entering the elevator he finally looked at the woman by his side, she was quite stunning even for a woman he had seen on his past life. If it was his past life, he would probably done everything so he could to ask her on a date. Feeling his gaze Glynda could help but ask ¡°Is something wrong, Child?¡±


    ¡°No! Nothing at all, I just thought you were such a beautiful person¡± Hearing him respond like that Glynda just coughed and maintained silence, but a faint blush was seen on her face. Of course it rapidly disappeared as they reached the top. She was quite the professional, it was just that Silva¡¯s words caught her unprepared.


    Finally, theyleft the elevator as they entered an office with a steam punk vibe, giant metallic gears were seen on top of the office, looking at all of this Silva couldn¡¯t help but feel amazed.


    ¡°He is here¡± Glynda said towards Ozpin, who was seated on behind metallic desk. At his side Qrow was seen standing up. Seeing him he said ¡°Good to see you all clean up, Kiddo¡±


    ¡°Being sincere, you kind of smelled weirdly when we meet¡± Said Qrow as he took a drink from a flask. Hearing him say that, Silva couldn¡¯t help but look at him sharply.


    ¡°Thank you Glynda¡± Said Ozpin looking at the woman ¡°Now that we are all here, let me introduce us all¡±The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    ¡°First of all, my name is Ozpin and I¡¯m the headmaster of Beacon Academy. The woman next to me is Professor Glynda Goodwitch and the man next to me, who you already met before is my associate Qrow Branwen¡± Said Ozpin quite politely.


    Hearing him introduce himself Silva answered back ¡°My name is Silva, just Silva. I don¡¯t have any kind of last name that I remember¡±


    ¡°Remember?¡± Asked Ozpin confused.


    ¡°Yes, a big part of my memories are gone¡± Silva answered back, he had already prepared what he was going to say, and this was the best excuse.


    ¡°So that means you don¡¯t remember why you were in the forest?¡±


    ¡°No, the only thing I remember is waking up inside it a few months ago¡± Silva said while mixing truths and lies, he obviously wouldn¡¯t tell him the complete truth.


    ¡°I understand, can you tell me about those markings?¡±


    ¡°They are part of my semblance¡± He said ¡°I just simply call them Aura Marks. It gives me the ability to create patterns that can do many different things¡±


    ¡°Oh! Then where did you learn all of them? I mean while you probably know how to make them. You can¡¯t simply ask them to do what you want¡± Ozpin asked back. Just like Silva though Ozpin had his share of knowledge about them.


    ¡°Would you believe if I told you that the more I understand my power, the more variations that appear on my mind¡± Responded Silva towards him, to which Ozpin responding by nodding.


    ¡°In fact my markings are similar to the ones in your cane¡± Saying this a stunned expression appeared for the first time on Ozpin face. His words actually surprised both Qrow and Glynda too, as they probably didn¡¯t know about markings at all.


    ¡°You can tell?¡±


    ¡°I can feel it, there is a small connection between my powers and that cane. I can¡¯t tell what does it do, I can only feel it slowly gathering some kind of power¡± responded Silva. This was no a lie, ever since he saw Ozpin he was able tell, but he could feel a slight difference between his own markings and Ozpin markings.


    ¡°Interesting, does that mean your marks will work the same if you didn¡¯t use your semblance?¡±


    ¡°They do¡± Silva answered ¡°But it depends of how they are inscribed, because of my power I¡¯m able to easily understand how they should be correctly made. So I do them perfectly every time, but it¡¯s not the same if I were to write them with something else. It takes me longer¡±


    ¡°They have to follow a certain pattern just like mechanical circuit, but there is a benefit, if I were to use the power of my semblance, the size would be limited by my actual power¡± Silva explained


    ¡°Yet if you don¡¯t, the size won¡¯t be limited by your power, but by your skill at inscribing them, right?¡± Ozpin said with a slight smile ¡°But what I want to ask is, do you truly understand what your power means?¡±


    ¡°Of course! It means that there can be a cooperation between us right?¡± The moment Silva said this, the expression of everyone changed. Silva had finally got what he wanted.


    ¡°Ho! Seems I can no longer treat you as simple child, Silva¡± Said Ozpin ¡°But let me ask you, what gave it away?¡± in fact this took Ozpin by surprise, what he meant with his words was that his power could change the world itself. Just like Silva said his own cane used similar markings in order to store time energy.


    But the boy in front of him, directly pointed at what Ozpin really wanted, to have access to this kind of power, could help them gain a bigger understanding in the field of aura technology.


    ¡°It was the way you looked at my glass container, when we were traveling on the helicopter, your eyes gazed at it many different times, so it was easy for me to understand its value in your eyes¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m astonished. You are just as Qrow described it, no even better than he thought¡± Ozpin said ¡°But just like you said, I called you because I wish to make use of your power¡±


    ¡°As a matter of fact, ever since I visited your cave, I been thinking that you could bring great changes to the world. So I wished you to make you an offer, but it seems like I must make some changes¡± Ozpin said ¡°So why don¡¯t you open with your conditions, you had probably thought of that too¡±


    Hearing Ozpin say that, Silva knew that he had played his cards correctly and answered ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t want much. I only want your support, maybe you could help me fix the matter of my background too¡±


    Giving a small smile Ozpin said ¡°I understand, but if we are talking of cooperation you can¡¯t only expect to gain something, you must offer something of exact value¡±


    ¡°Of course, I will give you a second tier energy gathering mark¡± he said towards Ozpin, making him ask ¡°Second Tier?¡± This was something he didn¡¯t know about.


    ¡°Yes, something like this¡± Silva said as he saw his confusion. And used his semblance to draw a complex floating mark. It was similar to the one he put on his glass container, but he had only draw one and he felt more tired than when he had drawn the four from before.


    As he held it with his aura, the three others could feel the speed that energy gathered, ¡°I believe something like this is what you are looking for at this moment. Of course I can give you the first tier mark for you to study too¡± Silva said once more before retracting his power back.


    ¡°Excellent!¡± Ozpin appraised ¡°then we have reached an agreement¡± said as he nodded in satisfaction. After all this was what he was targeting at, with Atlas technology researching the aspects of Aura something like this could hasten their project.


    ¡°Now taking the matter of your background, I have already though of something so you don¡¯t have to worry Mr. Silva¡± Said Ozpin towards him before turning towards Qrow ¡°Now Qrow! You can take Mr. Silva to the see her, I believe there is someone else that wants to talk to him¡±


    Hearing him Qrow just shrug his shoulders and said ¡°C¡¯mon Kiddo Follow me¡±


    Silva took one more look at Ozpin before following Qrow towards the elevator, and finally leaving the place. Ozpin just smiled while seeing him disappear, before hearing turning his head to another voice.


    ¡°Are you sure Headmaster? It looked to me like he was mixing his words¡± Said Glynda while looking at Ozpin, ¡°It is fine, I have already understood what needed to be understood¡±


    ¡°He is special, even among all the silver eyed warriors. He truly is, or have you seen heard of anyone else with a silver aura?¡± Responded Ozpin making Glynda speechless


    ¡°Because of that we need him, his power and semblance¡± Continued Ozpin with a wry smile ¡°I wanted to put him under me, yet he beat me to it. You heard his words right? Cooperation¡±


    ¡°In other words he was trying to tell me, he didn¡¯t want to be at my disposal. But he stand at my same level, even though is funny, I couldn¡¯t help but accept¡±


    ¡°And why is that? Headmaster¡±


    ¡°Call it a sixth sense or the way he looked at me, his eyes reminded me of someone from the past. Anyway his secrets doesn¡¯t matter to me, we only have to tie that little monster to our ship¡±

 4. - RWBYS: Ruby and Yang

    Taking another look at the boy next to him. Qrow couldn¡¯t help but feel weird, when he was looking at Oz and him talk. He couldn¡¯t help but think he was watching two Ozpin talk, making him feel stupefied as the other party was nothing but a five years old child.


    Finally after some time of the awkward silence while walking, Silva couldn¡¯t help but cough in order to break it, ¡°So who is the one looking for me? I believe the woman I saved shouldn¡¯t be up yet¡± Silva said while using his words carefully, nobody had told him of her name yet.


    ¡°Just a worrywart, well can¡¯t say that right now¡± Qrow just smiled wryly after that he continued in a serious tone ¡°Thank you, short stack is a close friend of mine¡±


    ¡°Short stack?¡± he asked confused, of course he knew who he was referring to, but he never expected to hear him to call her like that.


    ¡°The woman you saved, her name is Summer Rose by the way. Short stack for short¡± Qrow said with a haughty smile on his face.


    Finally after walking for some time, both finally reached a room and Qrow opened the door while Silva followed after. Inside the room, Summer was sleeping on the bed while connected to advanced medical equipment that monitored her aura and body. To her side a blonde tanned man was seated on a chair, he had bags under his eyes, looking really tired. On a corner of the room two cute girls slept together soundly on a furniture covered with a white sheet.


    The moment Qrow entered the room, the man turned towards the door where his eyes meet Qrow.


    ¡°Hey Tai, you look like crap, you should take a rest or something¡± Qrow said mockingly, even though his mouth said like that. His eyes betrayed his words, as he looked at Tai.


    ¡°I guess so, but I just can¡¯t seem to fall asleep¡± Answered back Tai ignoring his tone.


    ¡°She is gonna be fine man, everything is over¡± Continued Qrow ¡°Try to catch a rest. Short stack, wouldn¡¯t want to see you like this¡±


    ¡°I understand¡± Tai said while nodding ¡°By the way, who is the little kid, some affair of yours? Joked Tai


    ¡°Haha! Real funny, but no, he is the one that saved her life¡± Said Qrow pointing at Summer.


    ¡°What? Are you serious Qrow? He is just a kid¡± asked Tai Shocked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate him Tai. He is a kid who till not long ago lived on the forever fall by himself. Even more I was the one that saw him save short stack¡± Answered back Qrow.


    Taking a deep breath. Tai changed the way he looked at Silva, as he got up of the chair and moved towards him. Reaching him, he hugged his small body tightly as he said to his ear ¡°Thank you for saving Sum¡¯s life¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Thank you so much¡± Hugging him tightly, Tai¡¯s voice trembled as his eyes teared a bit. Feeling his hug. Silva couldn¡¯t help but feel weird, he knew what kind of man Tai was. But something was looking at him from a screen the other was being involved with him.


    It was at this moment that he truly felt, how truly big as the change for him. Feeling his feeling of gratitude were a bit too heavy for him, as he felt the strength of his grip. He couldn¡¯t help thinking of his own life.


    He had grown up in a foster him. He had never had a chance to feel the care of a family. The closest thing he had to a family was the best friend. As they grew up together, both were one of the unlucky kids that never had the chance to get adopted. As a kid he was jealous of other families, but as he grew up, Silva stopped bothering about it.


    After all even his best friend moved away from his life at some point. Even though both maintained communication, it was just not the same. He had made his life, and Silva had his own. It was only because of him that Silva started watching Series. After all that guy was an overzealous fan of Anime.


    Maybe because of that he was not as affected, as other people would be by being realizing that they had truly been brought to another world. Yet at this moment, these feelings of envy couldn¡¯t help but sprout up again as he looked at the people around him. Tai feelings were too much for him. Silva whose mentality had returned together with his age, couldn¡¯t keep a poker face anymore.


    Taking a deep breath in order to calm his feelings down, Silva said towards Tai ¡°There is no problem, it is fine¡± His voice cracked a little as he tried to return the hug with one hand, this small change didn¡¯t go unnoticed by Qrow.


    The moment he saw Silva change with his eyes. Qrow didn¡¯t know what to think, as he saw him get so affected by Tai. It was only at this moment he remembered that Silva was nothing but a kid, after seeing his abilities and hearing his talk with Ozpin, he had started unconsciously to treat him as an adult.


    It was at this instant, he came back to realize his age again. And he couldn¡¯t help but feel anger towards the fact that Silva was living alone in a forest, ¡°God Damn! Who in his right mind would have done something like that? if I ever catch them...¡±


    Of course Qrow was confusing the situation, but everything seemed to be working in Silva favor. Finally after some time a voice snapped them all of their thoughts ¡°Daddy? Uncle Qrow?¡±


    It was a little girl who had just woken up, her voice was heard as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. Hearing her speak, Tai quickly calmed down and he stopped hugging Silva. Everyone quickly turned their heads to look at the cute child. She had a two toned hair, red and black, with the red looked more prominent at the tips.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    As she moved her body, the other girl started to awaken as her eyelashes started to tremble. Finally the smaller child opened her eyes completely and seeing Qrow standing in front of her. She quickly moved her body, causing the other girl to hit her head on the furniture as she screamed excitedly diving into Qrow arms.


    ¡°Uncle Qrow!!!! Did you miss me? Did you miss me?¡± it looked like the little girl didn¡¯t realize the situation.


    ¡°Hey Ruby, Don¡¯t scream! Remember that your mom is sleeping¡± Tai tried to warn her, as she spun around Qrow¡¯s arm. Hearing him, she simply laughed back ¡°Hehehe¡±.


    ¡°Don¡¯t Hehehe me, Ruby¡± Tai was still anxious, so he quickly reproached the girl. Looking at the situation Qrow turned to Silva while he holding the girl in his arm, he said towards him with a wry smile ¡°Sorry about that, they are a noisy bunch¡±


    ¡°The guy is Tai and this little brat here is Ruby¡± Listening Qrow introduce them like that. Tai shot him a glare and then realized he haven¡¯t presented himself.


    ¡°Cough* Qrow that¡¯s not how you introduce somebody¡± he berated Qrow, as he saw Qrow shrug his shoulders.


    ¡°My name is Taiyang, Taiyang Xiao Long. The girl on Qrow¡¯s arms is one of my daughters Ruby Rose and the one by the couch¡­..¡± Tai moved his hand to signal her, only to find no one on the couch. Feeling a tug on his shirt, Tai looked down to see a blonde girl with two pigtails, ¡°This is my other daughter Yang Xiao Long¡± he said as he put his hand on her hair.


    Hearing Tai introduce the rest of his family, Silva couldn¡¯t help to feel surprised. He never thought he was going to meet the most important characters so soon. Ruby was just as she was in the series, Yang on the other hand seemed to be a little quieter. Looking at her, Silva realized that she had a trace of concern on her little eyes.


    Finally his thoughts were interrupted by a little voice and a tug on his shirt ¡°Who are you Big Brother?¡± the little Ruby cutely said as she looked at him with a small smile. At that moment Yang wanted to move, in order to stop Ruby from touching him. But Tai stopped her saying ¡°It¡¯s fine Yang, he is the one who helped mommy¡±


    As if shocked, the way her eyes looked at him changed and she awkwardly nodded towards Silva. Giving a wry smile towards her, Silva couldn¡¯t help but awkwardly think of the differences between her and the future Yang. Seeing the small Ruby he answered sweetly ¡°My name is Silva, Nice meeting you Ruby¡±


    After answering, he couldn¡¯t help but put his hand on her head and touch her soft silky hair. Making the little girl giggle, it seemed that compared to the Ruby from the beginning of series, the young Ruby didn¡¯t have problems interacting with people.


    Looking at him, Yang finally moved and said a little clumsily ¡°Hey¡­. Thank you for helping our Mom¡±


    ¡°Not a problem¡± Silva answered her with a big smile, he couldn¡¯t help but think of how their supposed roles inverted as young kids. Silva didn¡¯t realize because how lost he was on his thoughts, that after answering nicely towards Yang, a faint blush appeared on her face.


    He was once more interrupted of his thoughts by a cough, but this time it was by Tai. Silva didn¡¯t realize anything, but the overprotective dad couldn¡¯t help but become shocked by Yang appearance, while Qrow looked at him with a sarcastic smile as if bordering laughter.


    After they all introduced themselves everything went faster. Talking with the Xiao Long-Rose family, hearing some small lame jokes, which made Yang laugh and everyone else sigh, Silva couldn¡¯t help but smile. He actually enjoyed those things, that stupid sense of humor, seeing Qrow and Tai argue.


    Finally everything came to an end. When a doctor came a talked about Summer¡¯s condition, it seemed she was in a small coma, but her life was not in danger anymore. It was going to take a few days, before she woke up. By the end of the afternoon, Silva left towards his room, and started to read a book before falling asleep. He had troubles sleeping that night. He didn¡¯t know but after he left, both Qrow and Tai went towards Ozpin¡¯s office.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    For him that¡¯s how days passed, four days after the meeting between them. Yang seemed to have opened to him completely, it looked that his daily interactions with her family had put down the barriers around her heart. The little girl Ruby on the other hand had grown too attached to him, making Tai lament.


    It seemed that after she entered his room to look for him, she had found the design paper of the modified Fusion Sword together with the Cartridge System he received from the rewards. It was something Silva had been working on for a few days but to no avail.


    After she found them, the little weapon fanatic had gone crazy after looking at the papers. She asked Silva to draw some for her. She didn¡¯t understand about the drawings, but she knew what they were. So she constantly asked him for more. In the end Silva even had received a System Quest in order to satisfy the little girl, which made him smile strangely. This proved to be harder than he thought to be, in the end he had to buy RWBY: Thousand Weapon Manual for 500 points.


    Finally, it turned out to be a good thing for him. After designing at least a hundred weapons in order to satisfy the little girls craving, Silva had made a great advancement in the design, reducing the number of blades from 7 to 5, combining the hollow and back blades and using the side blades as the holders of the cartridge system. Yet the hardest part was going to use aura to activate the cartridge, but that was a problem for later on. At least a week after meeting them, Silva had finally finished the first basic design.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a deep breath, Silva looked at the opponent in front of him, she too looked at him. Finally she gave a small smile as she flashed forward, reaching him and punching towards him with great speed. Silva used his honed battle instinct in order to avoid her blow, taking her extended arm, he threw her away with a shoulder throw.


    The smiling girl fighting him was none other but Yang. As a daughter of a huntsman family, she had gone through a basic fighting training, for her age she was one truly talented kid in hand to hand combat. Today Silva and her were sparring, courtesy of Qrow if you say so, no semblance involved thought.


    Even though Silva thought himself of being strong for his age, he quickly realized from his fighting with Yang, that his basic training was not as great as the girl in front of him, as in a one to one battle she beat him completely. So the only thing he could do was to use his instinct, honed by battling beowolves, in order to suppress her.


    Taking the chance of her stabilizing herself from the throw, Silva moved forward, using his hand he punched forward, copying her fighting style. He used punches to force her to defend. Finally leaving a gap for her to counterattack, he used the opportunity to hold Yang down, forcing her to admit defeat.


    ¡°Yeah, another win for Big Brother, kuku! Big Sister is so weak¡± A little girl laughed at the side, while mockingly talking towards Yang.


    ¡°Hey Ruby! Since when you started to cheer for him?¡± Yang Complained on the ground, only to hear her laugh once more. Seeing that Silva offered her hand towards Yang, after she grabbed his hand Silva said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t be sad Yang, this was a close one¡±


    She was about to refute, when Qrow opened the door of the training room. He looked a little excited as he told them ¡°Ruby, Yang! Summer woke up¡±

 5. - RWBYS: New Life

    Hearing Qrow drop the bomb, both girls moved out of the room with incredible speed. Seeing them run so excited out of the room, Silva gave a small smile and took a small towel to clean his sweaty face, ¡°so it is finally time¡±. Deep inside his heart, he buried the bitter feelings that appeared.


    Silva had enjoyed the time they had spent together so far. Those two little kids reminded him of the little brats at the foster home he grew up with. The care Tai and them had shown him this past week, had given him an impression of what a family could have been. All good things must come to an end, as they would probably go back home after this. Suddenly a voice interrupted his thoughts ¡°You¡¯re not coming Kid?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re still here?¡± Turning his head, Silva asked as he saw Qrow still standing on the door. Shrugging his shoulders, Qrow just continued ¡°Are you not coming?¡± Seeing Qrow ignore his question, Silva smiled wryly as he answered ¡°It¡¯s an emotional family reunion, a stranger like me has no place there¡±.


    ¡°Oi! You¡¯re the one who saved short stack. You re no stranger, Kid¡± Qrow said a little pissed off. Those words immediately provoked a reaction in Silva as he answered back harshly ¡°Exactly! I just saved her, nothing more¡± The tone of his voice, showed he was affected by the situation.


    Qrow didn¡¯t realize because of how busy he was. But for Silva, the more time he spend around the Xiao Long-Rose Family, the more unstable his emotions became. It was because his mentality had returned towards the time he was a child, and Silva knew this.


    But it didn¡¯t matter how much self-control he used to have, a child emotions are always unstable. Especially for those who grew in difficult environments, just like Silva did in his past life. At some points those bottled feelings, will burst out.


    ¡°I¡¯m no part of their family. If it wasn¡¯t because I was the one who helped her, I wouldn¡¯t even be here but in that rotten forest¡± Right after, Silva shut down his mouth tight. He realized he was losing control once more. So he started taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.


    Seeing his outburst. Qrow realized that if things continued this way, Silva would shut himself away .And the things they had talked with Ozpin, would go down the drain. He knew he had to open him up, Qrow had seen those eyes. For Qrow those eyes brought many memories, it was as if he was looking back at himself right before being taken in, by the Branwen Tribe.


    Steeling himself, Qrow told him disdainfully ¡°Spare me of excuses, do you want to know what I see? I only see a coward! Afraid of being part of a family, shutting himself, scared of relying on someone else. I know you are a smart kid, so you must have understood what we are trying to do. Yet here you are, pushing all those good feelings away¡±


    His words made Silva tremble, of course Silva knew what Qrow meant. There were many times, where Tai talked him of their family and plans they had. Subtly trying to involve him, Tai just didn¡¯t know how to ask. But from the past till now, Silva never had many people he could call a family, even his best friend was shrouded in mystery. So he just didn¡¯t know how to act towards it.


    At this moment all the things he tried to hold back, burst forward ¡°What do you know? Do you think you can understand me? Of course I want to be part of a family! But I never chose this! To be left behind! Of course I¡¯m afraid! Afraid that for you this is only momentary! That at one point, all of those good feelings you talk about will all disappear! Then I will be left alone again!¡±


    There were many things that had put a pressure on his heart, from his past life to his solitude on the forest, at this moment everything came out just like boiling water. He had seen many times, where parents simply returned the children. This caused the kids to become even more silent and afraid, but they weren¡¯t the only ones affected, those who saw the whole thing did too. ¡°So do you really think you can understand me?¡± Silva said while gasping for breath. His sudden eruption had left him with no air. At some point tears had stained his childish face.


    Looking at him Qrow just smiled and told him ¡°So you finally opened up, Kid! Lucky for you, I¡¯m not the one that will answer your question, Isn¡¯t that right Tai?¡± Qrow said looking to the left side, right outside the door. And from the corner of the corridor, Tai walked out. Giving a wry smile he moved towards Qrow, and without saying anything, he entered the training room.


    Coming towards Silva. Tai gave the stunned Silva a strong hug, just like the first time they met. And without letting him say anything he said sincerely ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we didn¡¯t took your feelings in consideration. But please give us the chance. Believe in us, we are not going to abandon you¡±


    There were many things Silva wanted to say. Yet at this moment, nothing came out. He had completely transformed back to the point he was only a small child, comforted by an adult. In the end the only thing he could do, was hug Tai back. It took some time before things calmed down, and taking his hand Tai took him to Summer¡¯s room. There a woman that looked like the older version of Ruby smiled warmly to him. As she did, the voice of the system, once more made way to his ears.


    HIDDEN QUEST:


    GAINING A NEW LIFE: (COMPLETED)


    REWARDS: AURA REFINEMENT CRYSTAL


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    After that his new life in Remnant officially started, his new name became Silva Branwen. It seemed that the background Ozpin prepared for him, was of a boy rescued by Qrow. As the sudden appearance of another person in the Xiao Long-Rose could relate him with Summer¡¯s survival, Ozpin chose something that could not connect him with her. He even falsified a few documents, in order to put Silva birth as far away from the Forever Fall forest as possible.


    Even though Silva official Guardian was Qrow, he was going to live together with the Xiao Long-Rose family on Patch. There he was going to attend Signal Academy just like Yang, of course because of a letter of Ozpin, his courses were going to be special. After all most of his time was going to be spend on research.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.


    The biggest reason for all of this was that Ozpin knew, that even though Silva was talented. He needed time to understand better the power of his semblance, and to fill the gaps of basic knowledge and combat Silva had. While that happened, Ozpin sent to Atlas the energy gathering markings for study.

    For Silva time passed. And three years went by, during this time Silva never stood idle. The amount of effort he put, had finally came to fruit. First of all, his basic weapon design had advanced to the intermediate level. Without the help of the system, just by relying on his learning speed. He had completed the book of Aura Circuit Mark Manual which strengthen his understanding of Mark of Enchantment significantly.


    Together with the funding Ozpin had gathered. Silva had completed Basic enchantments for every type of weapon possible, reaching the necessary threshold to implement his plan. Not only that, but he had created a functional version of the cartridge system and aura bullets. The only downside was that in order for the cartridge system to work perfectly, there was a need of high class markings.


    One morning, Silva and Qrow were sparring on the Xiao Long-Rose Home backyard. Even with the difference in skills, Silva was able to hold his ground. Of course Qrow was holding himself back, yet compared too few years ago. Silva was a lot stronger, even Yang couldn¡¯t beat him without the power of her semblance. He had the power to wrestle an Ursa Minor.


    During his time in Patch. Silva had went fought against Grimms together with Tai or Qrow, something even Yang didn¡¯t do. During the first year, Silva was able to hold back some beowolves from killing Yang. This time because the presence of Summer, Yang did not take Ruby with her.


    But one of the beowolves he fought with, was an Alpha class. Which nearly caused him to lose his life, thankfully Qrow was able to get on time. Even though he left greatly injured, with a few scars around his body and back. But because the power of his aura, Silva was able to recuperate in a few days.


    After that event Yang character changed, becoming more energetic, sociable and straightforward. She even took training more seriously than in the past, and in Silva eyes the Yang from the series appeared. Because of the event, Tai too became her personal trainer. While Qrow was his, both of them enjoyed betting on who would gain victory between Silva and Yang.


    The thing that bothered Silva the most. Was that he was still not able to use the power of his semblance on his body, marking himself. By the system words, Silva needed to reach the tier of a Rank One Huntsman. Which after asking Qrow, was the classification given after passing the first year on Beacon. And in order for one to be considered professional, one must have reached the fourth rank.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a deep breath, Silva was spawn over the ground as heavily breathed. At his side Qrow looked at him with a smug smile on his face ¡°You still got a long way to go, Kid¡± Qrow said as he used a wooden sword to touch his shoulder.


    ¡°How¡­The Hell? Can you still beat me while hangover?¡± Silva screamed back to Qrow¡¯s face. ¡°What can I say? You¡¯re just too weak¡± Qrow answered while poking Silva with the sword.


    ¡°Someday, I¡¯m gonna beat your ass Qrow¡± Silva said making Qrow laugh ¡°Hey! Brat, I¡¯m still your guardian¡±


    ¡°Whatever¡± he responded while pushing the sword away from his face.


    ¡°I swear! You were way cuter back then¡± he said while taking a flask from his pocket and drinking it.


    Getting up from the ground Silva asked Qrow, ¡°Are you not coming with me?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t, Ozpin asked me to do some stuff for him¡± Qrow answered as he moved towards the wooden house, while Silva followed after him.


    ¡°And you! Are you sure you want to contact the White Fang? You must know that there is many who hold prejudice against humans¡± Qrow said as they moved to the house. Hearing him Silva just said back with a small smile


    ¡°I understand that. But I believe, we must all work together in order to fight the Grimm. There is many villages annihilated by them, we cannot let discrimination continue to separate us. And I believe my power is an opportunity for all of us, I recently discovered a new type of markings that can help us both¡±


    ¡°Well! I guess all I can tell you is, Good Luck Kiddo!¡± Qrow said as he messed with Silva¡¯s hair.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Entering the house, Silva reached the kitchen. Upon entering, he noticed a woman cooking. When she saw him, she immediately smiled and told him ¡°Hey Silva, are you done with your training?¡± Taking a bottle of water from the fridge, Silva answered ¡°Yes I¡¯m done, Aunt Summer. I just can¡¯t seem to understand, how I still can¡¯t beat a drunk old man¡±.


    From the living room Qrow voice was heard ¡°I heard that, you Brat!¡± Listening to them, Summer couldn¡¯t help to smile and respond ¡°I guess alcohol is like his fuel, back during our missions, it made him stronger¡±


    Giving a wry smile, Silva said to her ¡°Well Aunt, I¡¯ll be at the shed¡±


    ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll call you when food is ready¡± Summer answered as she looked at him leaving. It had been three years since he started living with them. At the beginning she was surprised when Tai told her, that it was a kid of the age of Yang who saved her life that day.


    She couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Even when they told him the things he did, and how he negotiated with Ozpin. For her everything they said, made her puzzled and a little skeptical. Because of how abrupt things were for her, after all she only saw a child, just like her daughters.


    The moment she learned about his background. She was angered, how could a small child be living on the forest. What kind of heartless people left him there, all she wanted to find them and give them piece of her mind. But the fact that he remembered nothing, showed her that it was best to not dwell in it.


    It was not until later on, after he started living with them. That she accepted his extraordinarity, it was during the time when Yang disappeared. One day Yang found an old photo of their team, after that because of her insistency asking about her similarity with Raven. They had no choice left, but to tell her the truth about her mother.


    A few days later, Yang vanished without saying a word. And Silva went right after her, when he realized Yang¡¯s disappearance. Leaving a note behind for Summer, who at the time left to buy some groceries with Ruby. After she returned and saw the note, she immediately contacted Qrow, who had just left for a mission right after them, and was still on the island.


    The moment he returned with them. She had learned from Yang¡¯s mouth of how, Silva had protected her the whole time until Qrow appeared, nearly losing his life. Even after that Silva didn¡¯t blame Yang for her actions, in fact told her. That it was fine for Yang to want to see her mother, but that she shouldn¡¯t be reckless. That there were other means, that she must always remember that there were people around her to help her, that she was not alone. His words transformed her daughter, Yang became brighter and more cheerful. Yet it was not only her personality that changed, as the way she looked at him did too.

 6. - RWBYS: Three Years

    As Summer thought of the surprises Silva had brought her. Qrow entered the kitchen and asked ¡°Tai?¡±, ¡°He went to pick Ruby and Yang from the school¡± Summer answered, after that she asked ¡°What did Ozpin ask you to do?¡±


    ¡°Not much, just that the remnants of Project Tripartite had started to move¡± Qrow answered seriously. ¡°What? Didn¡¯t we destroy them, years ago?¡± Summer asked shaken.


    ¡°Yeah that¡¯s what we thought, but Jimmy found a leak in the Atlas Department. They seem too had found a backer, because of that Silva ability had been revealed. And they are looking to obtain him, thankfully Ozpin never revealed much about him. So the only that know of his appearance are the five of us¡±


    ¡°But after finding about him, they will not give up. Those crazy guys will do almost anything, just like he is the key for Ozpin¡¯s plans. They seem to have their own¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean he will be in the middle of conflict? What is Ozpin thinking? Is he using him as a bait? And you think its fine for him to contact the White Fang? What if Tripartite have people inside it? You heard of their internal conflict. You are all putting him at risk! He is only eight!¡± The moment Summer heard Qrow, she almost when mad. It was easy for her to tell what Ozpin had been planning, after all she was one of her confidents.


    ¡°Easy there Short-stack. I know why you think that, but it¡¯s necessary. In fact they won¡¯t making a move any time soon. That¡¯s why Ozpin gave me mission, he wants to destroy them before they try something. And about his contact the White Fang, it¡¯s something that could benefit us all. This is something Ozpin agrees with, so don¡¯t worry about his safety. Glynda will be supervising him.¡±


    Hearing Qrow, Summer could only comply. In the end, she understood that out of all of them. Qrow was the one that cared about Silva the most, as you could see how similar they were. He was probably the one worrying the most, but his trust for Ozpin held him back. Sighing once more, Summer stopped talking and continued cooking.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Inside the Shed. Silva used state of the art technology in order to complete different prototypes, at different from the wooden exterior. The inside of the Shed was furnished with top equipment fueled by a small reactor, courtesy of Atlas Tech. After Ozpin sent the markings toward General Ironwood and reaching an agreement. The General immediately used his power in order to provide him with equipment.


    ¡°This should work, now I only need the right materials to make it¡±


    Finally after some time, a small barking at the distance broke his concentration. It was not much longer before someone made her way in the shed.


    A little girl with a two tone short hair and a small red cloak, made her presence known through her loud voice ¡°BROTHER!!!!¡± hugging him from the back of his chair, she spun him around like a normal thing.


    Finally moving her little head in front of him, she said in acutely manner ¡°Hi¡±. Every action of her looked as if it was rehearsed before, Silva couldn¡¯t help but laugh while looking at her. Looking her every movement he could only sigh in defeat and rub her soft hair, Silva could never get mad at her.


    After all this years, the small Ruby had become one of his weak points. After smiling foolishly for some time she took out of nowhere a bunch of papers, ¡°Look Brother I completed my weapon design¡± Ruby said proudly of herself.


    Looking at the amount of papers, Silva couldn¡¯t help but rub his temple and said ¡°Ruby I told you before. You should choose less transformations, how many forms does this design has?¡±


    ¡°Ehh! But there is only eight this time!¡± Hearing Ruby respond Silva couldn¡¯t help but admit defeat, this little girl and her antics.


    As if answering for him, another voice came from the entrance of the shed ¡°Ruby I told you before. You cannot make a weapon transform many times, it¡¯s unrealistic. You have to specialize on one¡±


    Looking at the entrance Silva smiled as he saw a blonde curly girl and said ¡°Hey Yang, How was school today?¡± Hearing him, Yang answered with a bright smile on her face ¡°Great! Today in training, I beat all my classmates with a big yang¡±


    ¡°Seems like you are still unstoppable¡± he answered back with a smile, making Yang nod confidently, turning to the other girl Silva said ¡°Ruby, what Yang said is true. Your weapon can¡¯t have too many forms .The structure becomes unbalanced, you should choose a base form to specialize in¡±


    ¡°Mmm! But there is so many of them¡± Ruby complained while pouting. Hearing her, Silva smiled and told her ¡°If you are able to choose within a week. I will a special mark on your weapon, just as awesome as my Damocles mark¡±


    ¡°OK! Then use a scythe, after all Uncle Qrow looks so cool with it¡± Ruby immediately answered ¡°Don¡¯t forget your promise Brother¡±, hearing her change her mind completely Silva said with a wry smile on his face ¡°Looks like I got played¡±, making them laugh.


    ¡°So Sil, it¡¯s only Ruby that gets special treatment?¡± Yang asked in a doubting tone, hearing her ask .He couldn¡¯t help but show her the same smile, while he though how much this girl loved to compete with Ruby for some reason ¡°Of course not, I have already though of a special marking for you¡±


    ¡°Great! This is why I like you so much Sil¡±


    Sighing Silva said ¡°You only need to send me the final design, I¡¯ll be sure to send you back the weapon¡±. Immediately after his words finished, the two girls shut down and the room atmosphere turned depressing. ¡°Are you really leaving?¡± Yang asked with sad face, even Ruby couldn¡¯t help but bite her lips.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    ¡°Hey what¡¯s with those faces? It is not gonna be forever you know¡±


    ¡°We know, but is going to be for a few years at least right?¡± Yang asked. ¡°Hey is not like we are not going to see each other, you can always come to visit me during the Vytal festival and vacations right?¡±


    Hearing Silva say that. Both girls stood in silence until he finally said ¡°Come here¡± opening his arms. Silva hugged both of them as he relaxed them with words, he knew that they had become attached to him. Ruby after class, followed him around all day, while Yang always used any excuse to hang out with him. Later on when they finally calmed down, the three of them heard Summer call to eat and leaved the shed.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Next morning Silva leaved the house towards the airport together with Tai.


    ¡°I understand Uncle Tai, it¡¯s the third time already¡±, Silva said towards the blonde man next to him, ¡°Hey Silva. You should know, good hygiene is the key to success¡±


    ¡°I get it Uncle! But we haven¡¯t been on the road for more than fifteen minutes, and is the third time already¡±


    Hearing him say that, Tai couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile, ¡°So are you prepared?¡± Tai asked while looking at him.


    ¡°I am! This is only the first step, so we must succeed¡± Hearing him answer so confidently, Tai didn¡¯t ask anything more and just said ¡°Ok! But don¡¯t forget that you are not alone¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Uncle Tai!¡± Silva said as he looked at him. After that, time moved faster. As they joked about a few things and talked about both girls. Finally when they reached the airport, before he leaved the car, Tai told him ¡°Don¡¯t forget to call at least once a day, the girls will go mad otherwise¡±


    ¡°I understand! Take care Uncle¡± Silva said one last time before entering the airport.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    When he finally reached Vale, after leaving the airplane. At the entrance of the airport, Silva found a beautiful woman waiting for him.


    Going towards her, Silva called ¡°Teacher Glynda! It¡¯s nice seeing you again¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good to see you, Mr. Branwen. Now that you are here, we can move towards Beacon immediately¡±


    ¡°You can be less formal, Teacher Glynda¡± Silva told her, as he saw her display her stern attitude ¡°No can do, right now you are a valuable partner. So even if you are a child, there must be a certain amount respect¡± Glynda answered immediately as she moved out of the airport.


    Following Glynda they both reached a limousine, which took them directly to the Tower of Beacon.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    ¡°Oh! God! I truly can¡¯t handle her, she is too scary¡± After reaching his room, Silva thought as he laid down the bed. After reaching Beacon, Silva meet once more with Ozpin in order to talk about the last steps. Finally after that, Glynda took him towards his room. And the whole time there was this awkward silence between them.


    For Silva. Glynda reminded him of a strict teacher, he didn¡¯t know how to speak to her. Finally Silva¡¯s day was over, and before he went to sleep Silva called the Xiao Long-Rose Household. And after an hour of talking he finally drifted in to the dream land.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Truly for him, there was not much things to do in Beacon but continue his investigations and do basic training. After all, the meeting with the current leader of the White Fang was scheduled three days after. Taking his time Silva started making designs of structures which were not weapons, during the past three years. He had filled his head with knowledge of weaponry and aura markings, but it was finally time for him to start researching things outside weaponry. In fact the amount of design that Silva had bought outside armaments were of small quantity. This was because, this kind of designs were expensive.


    For example, the Vessel Building Manual from the Horizon series. Varied of price depending of his classification, the smallest wyvern class vessel design costed 25 thousand points. While the price of Cloud bike¡¯s Fenrir, costed him 9 thousand point. Three times more than cloud fusion sword. Worst of all, is that Silva had to modify each design to suit the world laws.


    Because the amount of books, designs and marks he had to buy over the years. His points had never exceed a certain amount, while his currently points were the highest he had ever had.


    Which were 8 thousand points, not even enough for many designs the system had. This was why he expected to finish the next main quest as soon as possible, in order to obtain the hundred thousand points.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Three days went by fast. At this moment Silva was seated on Ozpin¡¯s office, talking with him before the White Fang meeting. ¡°So did General Ironwood scientists came to a conclusion?¡±


    ¡°They did, in fact at the beginning they were a bit skeptical about the power of the markings. As they used to say that it was related to the magic of the olden days, which for them was unbelievable. But after examining the marks, they concluded that your power worked just like a circuit, and the reason for the continuous power of your energy gathering mark. It¡¯s because it contains a part of your soul¡±


    ¡°You mean like sentience?¡± Asked Silva, after all even though he understood how to use his power. Silva didn¡¯t completely understood how it worked. This was why, he was most willing to share his markings with Atlas Tech.


    ¡°Not really sentience, but more like a thought. They came into a conclusion, that when you mark something. The purpose of why you do so, becomes the fuel of the mark. Much like an order¡±


    ¡°They came to this conclusion. When they tried to use their aura and mind, to overwrite the first tier mark you sent and got destroyed on the process. They could only do this after you sent the third tier mark, and they made sure to record as much as they could¡±


    ¡°So my power is not as omnipotent as I thought then¡± Said in conclusion Silva.


    ¡°Not really. You see, it took them a lot of time until they finally were able to send their thoughts into the mark. So during battle is nearly impossible to do so, as the bigger the size, the harder it becomes. So in the end, they concluded that even thought is possible to stop the marks, is impossible to overwrite them¡±


    ¡°Interesting¡± thought Silva.


    ¡°The most incredible advancement. Is that after using the information, you gave me. They had been able to replicate 77% of the functionality of the first tier mark, and while compared to your markings they are easily disrupted. They are easily made, so they are happy to announce it as a new field of investigation¡±


    ¡°After hearing this report, General Ironwood immediately accepted your proposition. And a team of researchers will be making his way here in a week¡±


    Hearing the last sentence. Silva couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised, after all he only proposed this towards the General a few days ago., when he came to Beacon.

 7. - RWBYS: Faunus Meeting

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this way too fast?¡± Silva asked quite surprised.


    ¡°Of course not!¡± Responded Ozpin ¡°In fact, he has been waiting for a long time. After all as the headmaster of the Atlas Academy, he has his share of troubles. Especially with the Schnee Dust Company¡±


    ¡°So the announcement of the new field, together with the dust refining Mark, which can be easily made using only four energy gathering mark. Had helped the General put a leash on the President of the SDC¡±


    ¡°Because of that, Ironwood has been able to sanction the company for misuse of Faunus labor. As Atlas is no longer fully dependent of them, but he knows everything came because of your markings. So he truly pleased, and as a show of sincerity, he had given me this for you¡± Said Ozpin as he passed Silva a copy of the document against the Schnee Dust Company, signed by General James Ironwood.


    ¡°Though greedy. That man is intelligent, and knows he cannot win against James at the moment. So he has chosen to compromise, and in fact is been trying to join the cause. If you could phrase it like that¡± Ozpin finished.


    ¡°So it was like that¡± Silva smiled as he thought, his eyes looked blank as he saw the new notification that had appeared in front of them.


    MAIN STORY QUEST:


    EXPAND YOUR INFLUENCE IN ATLAS A THIRTY PERCENT: (010/100)


    REWARDS: GREAT MARK OF PROTECTION, 100.000 POINTS


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Inside a big room. Many different type of Faunus were surrounding a big desk. There were five seated members, and few members standing behind them. Most of the seated Faunus comprised the leadership of the White Fang Organization. But out of them, there were two members that stood.


    A tall black haired muscular man, with a beard and yellow eyes. At his back, there were two children that looked around the age of 8 to 11. The girl shared many similarities with the man seated in front, with the only difference being the cute cat ears on top of her head. The boy on the other hand, had red spiky hair and black horns.


    The second person that stood out was a young woman, with brown skin and black tiger marks on her body, black hair and orange eyes. Behind her two brown skinned men wearing red hoods, they looked similar to each other, showing their relation. The only difference being on having fox like ears, the other having a fox like tail.


    The two of them caused the room to be still, the other members in the room knew that they represented the conservative and radical factions inside the White Fang. While the man opted to use peaceful means in order to obtain equal rights, the woman used violence in order to liberate the oppressed Faunus.


    Finally the silence was interrupted by the woman ¡°Ghira, do you truly believe that they are on our side? Even with all the status that headmaster can have, he had never done something like this before. And now he wants to offer us an opportunity. It sounds fishy to me¡±


    The man called Ghira looked towards her and said in a harsh tone ¡°Because of that same reason, I believe that with his great status he shouldn¡¯t be plotting something. And for all that I know, the seat of High Leader is still on my power. So you should show respect, Sienna¡±


    ¡°Humph¡± the woman just dismissed everything by looking away. His status did not matter to her, as things went sooner or later, she would be the one seating on the high leader throne. Behind the man the two children eyes were different, while the boy looked at Sienna quite influenced, the girl looked troubled.


    After a bit more of awkward silence. The door to the room opened and two people entered the room, none but Ozpin and Glynda. Seeing them enter, Ghira and the rest showed respect by standing as they entered. Noticing them Ozpin just nodded, before he stood next to the head seat of the table. As many though Ozpin was going to sit up, he just moved towards one of the chairs at the side and took seat, while Glynda stood behind him.


    This action showed to the Faunus leader that Ozpin was not the one in charge of the meeting, but that he simply was on one of the supporters. Looking at the Faunus standing confused, Ozpin told them.


    ¡°It¡¯s nice meeting you all, sadly I¡¯m not the one that organized the meeting. I only helped him, by asking you all to come here¡± Ozpin said with small smile.


    Hearing Ozpin, Ghira nodded and took the initiative to ask ¡°If it¡¯s not the famous Beacon Headmaster, who else could be in charge?¡± he said as Ghira took a seat, making the rest of the leaders sit too.


    ¡°You could say a surprising person. I only ask you not to underestimate him because of his age, as everything he says it¡¯s true to the very core¡± Answered Ozpin


    Surprised at the headmaster words, Ghira calmed down and nodded towards him. Finally after a few minutes, the door to the room was opened once more. At this moment every Faunus turned their heads towards it. Only to be bewildered completely, even the children behind Ghira were completely speechless.


    Yet this did not matter for the one who entered the room. As he confidently came in and took a seat on the head chair. As he moved in, he did not once looked at the members of the White Fang. But adjusted a few papers that he brought with him in complete silence. The one that entered was no other but Silva.


    Seeing that the one who entered the room was none but a child, the silent moment was destroyed by a woman voice ¡°Are you joking? Headmaster Ozpin, I offer you my respect as the leader of the Beacon, but this taking everything too far¡±This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    Hearing her, every Faunus in the room was on her side. Even Ghira thought this was something unrealistic, seeing this Glynda was about to answer only to be cut short by Silva.


    ¡°Miss Sienna, I ask for forgiveness if my presence in the room looks like a joke for you. But I¡¯m afraid that this is no joke, as I¡¯m the reason why the headmaster called you. Even with all the face the headmaster of one of the four greatest huntsmen academies in all remnant can have, I believe he would not do such a thing¡± Silva answered politely as he had expected something like this to happen, so he was already prepared.


    Listening to the words Silva spoke. Sienna could not help but be speechless, even someone as brazen as her, had to be quiet. After all everything was true, a man in Ozpin position would not make such a joke. Seeing her so silent, Ghira said ¡°I¡¯m apologize for her words, but I don¡¯t believe they are inappropriate¡±


    Ghira bluntly declared ¡°I¡¯m afraid that in our eyes, the only thing we see is a simple child¡±


    Giving Ghira a small smile, Silva responded towards him ¡°I understand your concern Mr. Belladonna. But I¡¯m afraid that if I were to simply leave the room, you would lose the biggest opportunity of all. Just for treating me a simple child.¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    ¡°Opportunity?¡± Hearing him say that. Ghira was stunned, as those were the same words that Ozpin used to arrange the meeting ¡°I understand, then care to explain us. What is the opportunity you are talking about?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the opportunity to change the Faunus situation, the Kingdom situation, even the World situation¡± Silva said confidently, his answer stunned the whole Faunus.


    ¡°In other words, if you are willing to listen. I can offer you an opportunity of cooperation to improve everyone¡¯s future¡± Silva continued.


    ¡°Even if you were to say that! How can you¡­.?¡± A little skeptical of his words Sienna tried to interrupt, only to be silenced by Silva¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I understand it can sound unbelievable, so let me first show my sincerity towards you¡± as they were not close to each other, Silva looked at Glynda signaling her. She immediately nodded and used her semblance to move a few of papers to each of the five leaders of the table.


    When they received the papers, everyone looked at them quite confused. Yet as the read them, each of their eyes popped open. While Sienna was the one most affected, as she stood up and her voice shook as she stuttered with the papers on her hands ¡°This... This is?¡± Her behavior only served to confuse the standing members. But she was not the only one who showed a strange behavior, the rest was not better.


    Looking at their confused faces, Silva started talking ¡°This are legal documents signed by the Headmaster of the Atlas Academy, General Ironwood. Enforcing protection for the Faunus labor workers, forcing the Schnee Dust Company to change their treatment toward laborers and raising their payment¡±


    After Silva spoke the rest of the Faunus were just as shocked as their leaders, and while disrespectful they quickly moved to their sides in order to take a better look. Causing a small commotion as different voices resounded in the meeting room, Ghira even took out his scroll in order to make a few calls.


    Realizing that it will take some time. Ozpin looked towards Glynda, making her sigh. Leaving towards a corner of the room, she brought two cups of hot cocoa giving one to Ozpin and the other to Silva. Giving her a low thanks, Silva took a small sip. His hand shook a bit, even as confident as he appeared to be. Silva was actually really nervous on the inside, as he was betting a lot on this meeting.


    After finishing the cup. He was finally able to calm himself down, as the commotion died Silva moved his eyes towards Ghira. Only to find him looking back at him with a stunned face. ¡°It¡¯s true, I have confirmation from some of my people in Atlas, but how?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s simple. Because the things I can offer to them, are way bigger than the ones the Schnee Company can offer. But with all of this said, I believe that I have finally dispelled your doubts, right?¡± As the question came down, the whole Faunus unconsciously nodded.


    After agreeing with him, Ghira politely said ¡°I apologize! I looked down on you, I guess one can never judge a book by its cover. But you haven¡¯t explained what do you seek with us, neither have you introduced yourself¡±


    Hearing Ghira, Silva nodded and said ¡°My name is Silva Branwen, and what is seek is cooperation. You see the reason why I¡¯m able to put Atlas on my side, is because of a type of technology only I can offer¡± Right after, Silva gave a few explanation of the power of his semblance. And made a few examples using his ability for them to see, dispelling any kind of doubt they could have. For the Faunus, even though his last name sounded familiar to some, they were more concerned about Silva explanation.


    ¡°I get it! So that¡¯ why! The field of aura technology is something truly filled with mysteries, but to think that it could give such benefits¡± Ghira sighed as he said. After Silva long explanation and demonstration, he was finally convinced. Even more when Ozpin interrupted by backing up and saying, that it was accepted in Atlas as a new field of research.


    After seeing that everyone followed him, Silva continued ¡°The reason of why I say cooperation. It¡¯s because there is a special type of mark that I can offer you, and that can only be inscribed by you¡± After Silva said this, the expressions of all the Faunus changed. Most of them were eager to know, only Ghira and Sienna remained calm, which showed the skills as the two faction leaders.


    ¡°You see my markings of enchantment, can boost weaponry because it creates a path where aura can fluidly pass. But these markings can¡¯t work in the human body directly, as we already have a pattern set inside our body. Even if we were to enchant our clothing, the result will be nonexistent as they don¡¯t have any special trait¡± at that moment the eyes of Ghira changed. He understood something the moment Silva mentioned trait.


    Seeing this change. Silva smiled, as he knew he had managed to pass his message towards Ghira ¡°Just like you thought Mr. Belladonna. The kind of mark only the Faunus can inscribe, it¡¯s the one that passes down the power of your own trait into an object, for example a garment¡±


    ¡°This is what I can offer you. A way to destroy the differences between Humans and Faunus, while at the same time benefiting us both¡± Silva said. The moment he finished, Sienna abruptly said ¡°Isn¡¯t that just gifting our power to the humans¡±. Her words caused some Faunus eyes to change. Looking at them, Silva understood that this was the most important moment. In the radical faction of the Faunus, a small amount of them felt hatred towards humanity behavior.


    Choosing his words carefully, Silva told her ¡°I must say will you are not wrong, you are not right¡±


    ¡°You see. A professional huntsman, is able to bridge the differences of power between races. So while it¡¯s helpful for some them, strong huntsmen won¡¯t need it. This mark is created for young huntsmen, and while it enhances the abilities of a Human huntsmen. For Faunus huntsmen, the result is even greater¡±


    ¡°So the marks are only used to raise the survivability of the young generation, once they become professionals and their aura had reached a certain point. It won¡¯t be no longer necessary, as their abilities will be completely dependent on aura¡±


    ¡°But by doing this, you will be able to change the opinion of the younger generation. Raising the importance of the Faunus in the society, and gaining the support of the population. Eliminating the discrimination little by little. This is all I can say, now the decision is yours¡± concluded Silva.

 8. - RWBYS: Company Preparations

    Hearing the whole explanation, every Faunus knew Silva was right. As this was the main reason why even if they used force, they could not win, the difference of population and powerhouses were massive. Even the words Sienna said before, were not but a test to Silva. As just like Ghira, she t0oo noticed the meaning of his words. Even the ones that felt some hatred towards humans, knew that conflict could only end destroying both sides, so the only question left in their minds was, ¡°What does he wants?¡±


    It was none but Ghira, the one who asked ¡°I understand, Young Man, to be sincere I¡¯m eager to accept. But the only question left, is what do you gain of all of this? What do you want of us?¡±


    Hearing him ask, Silva knew his words had reached him ¡°What I want is a cooperation, Mr. Belladonna. I want to create a conjoined company. A part of the company will be in charge of the trait markings, the other one will be in charge of the weaponry markings. The sales of each side will be divided equally between both sides, just that special products won¡¯t be divided¡±


    ¡°Special products?¡± Asked Ghira confused.


    ¡°While it¡¯s true that by marking garment, you can grant it a special trait. Markings are not limited to clothing, for example lizard Faunus are known for being able to regrow small parts of their bodies, right?¡± At that moment Ghira mind suddenly cleared up, as many possibilities unveiled to his eyes. His eyes shined brightly, he then suddenly stood up and said ¡°As the High Leader of the White Fang, I accept your offer¡±


    Looking at Ghira with a relaxed smile on his face, Silva asked teasingly ¡°Are you sure? Aren¡¯t you supposed to deliberate with your group?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha! That won¡¯t be necessary. After all you said, you have convinced every Faunus in this room. I¡¯ll make a fool out of myself, if I were not to accept such proposal¡± Hearing Ghira, everyone looked at Silva with a small smile. Even Sienna looked at him and nodded gently, but what Silva didn¡¯t noticed was that, two small gazes containing traces of worship appeared on the eyes of the other kids in the room.


    ¡°Well, since everything is now over¡± Ozpin interrupted with a small smile on his face ¡°I want to place an order for my Academy¡± His tone caused the room to ring full of laughter, even the stern Glynda gave a small smile.


    While everyone laughed, there was only one question stuck on Ghira¡¯s mind ¡°Brat, just how far you are seeing?¡± Ghira had a weird feeling. He felt that from the very beginning, they never stood a chance against the boy in front of him. Ghira knew that the boy was probably nervous, but that he was confident of success, that he was looking further away. While Ghira thought this, on Silva eyes a notification appeared.


    HIDDEN QUEST:


    GAINING GHIRA BELLADONNA FAVOR: (COMPLETED)


    REWARDS: BODY STRENGTHENING CRYSTAL


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Finally for Silva, the day was over. After a few more small talks, such as naming the company and organizing the lessons Silva was going to give towards the staff chosen by the White Fang, everything was now done. Thankfully Ozpin had already helped him purchasing a spot in Vale, between the commercial and the industrial districts. Now the only thing left, was the training of the personnel. In the end the Company was named with the two parties in mind, as the Silver Fang. The only thing was that at the end of the meeting. Ozpin asked them to protect Silva identity as a secret, which all of them agreed easily.


    Taking a deep breath, Silva stood from his bed as took his scroll from his pocket. Just like every day, he called back to his family. Answering the house phone, was none other than the small Ruby. Who started asking questions like crazy, finally Silva could heard every one of them from the other side. Giving a few small laughs, he talked to them for a few hours before taking a shower and falling to bed. Not before using the system reward, the last time he had gotten an aura refinement crystal, which had purified his aura enough for it to reach the level of a rank one huntsman. Now he was excited for the results of the body strengthening crystal.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    During the next months, after completing the contract with the White Fang. The outdoor protest the White Fang used to do stopped completely, stunning the population. Making them wonder what happened to White Fang. It must be known that for the people of Vale, it was normal to see a group of Faunus on the streets holding their panels high.


    What they didn¡¯t know, is that the White Fang members were receiving classes, of the basic markings techniques and inscription patterns, inside a company building in the commercial district. While Silva, together with a team of fifteen Atlas researchers, completed the basic designs of Faunus Markings. Using their talents they created a basic prototype of a marked uniform.


    By the end of the third month, the best prototype had four different Faunus markings. The rabbit, the bull, the turtle and the monkey markings. Each markings were branded to work only when four pieces of the uniform was worn. The first prototype was made with all-rounder fighters in mind, it gave speed, strength, defense and dexterity respectively.


    By the fifth month. There was a small group of elite Faunus, which could already work by themselves in the first prototypes made. While at the same time with the help of Ghira, Silva hired a group of weapon makers. Who he personally taught about weaponry enchantment, in order for them to design weapon merchandise.


    It could be said, that during the first five months. There was almost no time for Silva to freely rest, as he not only taught the two groups of personnel. But he had to share his understanding of aura and markings, with the group of atlas researchers who crazily devoured information. As they were able to replicate 60% of the third tier energy gathering mark by the end of the fourth. The reason why he taught them so much was because, the system would only help him create up till third tier marks. After that, it was up to his own understanding.


    Together with them, Silva was trying to create a continuous energy source. After all, what the mark created was pure dyeable crystal dust. If utilized with lighting dust, they would be able to produce a replacement for the current cities generators, but this could only happen when they understood more about aura technology.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Thankfully Silva was able to handle everything perfectly. The main reason was that after utilizing the body strengthening crystal, Silva muscles had reached the first rank huntsmen class. Together with his aura, he was just as strong as Beacon first year students. Second to that, Silva had a pair of helpers, which followed him around almost everywhere, they were the two kids behind Ghira during the negotiation. Of course Silva noticed them, but he was more worried by the result, so he didn¡¯t gave them too much attention.


    Both of them were, Adam Taurus and Blake Belladonna. At difference from the series, Adam was not a Faunus supremacist, or maybe not yet. At this point of time Adam was a still a kid who detested Faunus discrimination, and after seeing a boy younger than himself do so much for the Faunus, he started to admire Silva.


    Together with Blake, they had asked Ghira to let them stick around Silva, just like they were two small bodyguards. For Blake it was much simpler, seeing her people so happy had directly raised the importance of Silva in her heart. Every Faunus brought by Ghira moved around the building with a smile, something the White Fang organization in Vale hasn¡¯t been known for. It looked like after Ghira explained the content of the meeting towards them, they all felt that things were about to change and were full of hope.


    Finally after nearly sixth months of arduous preparations. The Company was scheduled to open after the end of the year, and the new Beacon School uniform preparations were completely made. After receiving reviews from his researchers about the power of the marked uniform, General Ironwood had placed an order for Atlas Academy too, so things were going pretty good for Silva. The only bad side to all of this, was that the atlas researchers leaved by the end of the year too. In order to start their own preparations and experiments, But because all of them were amazed by Silva talents, they had obtained a special permit from the General in order to maintain communication, after all Silva identity was still a secret to most of the Council.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    A few days before end of the year, using a small part of the advanced payment made for the uniforms, with Ozpin¡¯s help, Silva bought an upper class property near Beacon academy, in order to welcome the Xiao Long-Rose Family who decided to pass the end of the year together with him in Vale, as he was so busy he could not go back.


    Inside the property Silva had already decorated the mansion size house to fit the different tastes of all of them, as there were only three days left for the end of the year, Silva had already prepared five different presents, as in the world of Remnant they actually mixed Christmas with New year, the fifth was just in case Qrow decided to drop by, like most of the time he did, of course he had prepared some things for Zwei too.


    While he was busy giving the final touches, outside the property, there was a car that had suspiciously parked in front of the mansion at least three times already, it leaved and returned as if looking for something that could not be found.


    ¡°Sum, are you sure this is the direction of the place?¡± Inside the car, Tai nervously asked ¡°This is a fricking villa¡± he exclaimed, right to his side there was a beautiful woman that looked at her scroll, like Silva wanted it to be a surprise, he had only sent them the localization.


    ¡°I did not make a mistake, this is the place¡± Summer said quite surprised, at the back of the seat, there were two girls, who could no longer wait anymore. ¡°Dad, he wouldn¡¯t sent the wrong direction, let¡¯s enter¡± Yang complained.


    ¡°Wait a minute, we cannot just call the wrong place¡­ Wait Ruby where are you going¡± While Tai tried to explain, the most bored girl in the car quickly got out of it, and together with a small dog in her arms moved quickly to touch the outdoor gate caller ¡°There, now we can see¡± ¡±Wan*¡± she complained.


    Right after, the voice of Silva was heard from the speaker ¡°Who is it?¡± only to be answered by the high pitched scream of Ruby ¡°BROTHER! LET US IN! IM HUNGRY!¡± the moment she finished, a groan of pain was heard from the speaker as the gates opened stunning everyone.


    Entering the car Ruby looked with a proud face at her speechless parents and laughing sister, who immediately hugged her after she came inside, ¡°Good job, Sis!¡± Seeing the two girls, Tai had no choice but sigh and quickly drive the car inside.


    Entering the terrain, they looked around, it seemed to be as the house was surrounded by many different trees with a big front garden, full of sunflowers, the house in front of them looked to be well maintained, though it style was a little old, it was painted in a cozy brown colors. In front of the house Silva waited them with a small smiled on his face.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Coming out of the car, the two girls jumped into Silva arms hugging him tightly. In his arms Yang looked around and said ¡°Wow Sil, this place looks Yangtastic¡±, Hearing her, Ruby complained ¡°That was not funny, Yang¡± and started bickering one another. Listening to their chit chat, Silva couldn¡¯t help but smile more, while he hugged them harder, making them struggle a bit. Finally as he saw the stunned face on Tai¡¯s face, at his side Summer looked at them with a smile, he let them go as he moved to greet them.


    ¡°Hey uncle Tai, is something wrong?¡± he asked with a mischievous smile.


    ¡°Wrong? Silva, this place?¡± Tai asked a little stuttering, he still could not believe it completely. After all, even with his profession as huntsman, the place they had was still not as big as this one.


    ¡°Ohh! This, is something I bought for when any of you wished to find a place to stay at Vale. I know that during the Vytal Festival, you use to stay at the Academy, Ozpin told me¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that too extravagant?¡± Tai asked clearly stunned ¡°Of course not! In fact the main reason I bought it, is too make myself a laboratory for when I stay at Vale. After all the company building is not a great place to experiment at the moment¡± Silva explained as he recalled the accidents they caused at Beacon Academy. Right now, the experiments Silva carried with the researchers were made at Beacon, and while it was safe at the moment. Silva knew that the Academy would be compromised later on, so he didn¡¯t want his research falling in the wrong hands.


    Hearing Silva explanation and remembering what he worked on, Tai finally relaxed a bit. Of course Tai was still shocked by the incredible amount of lien Silva obtained, but he knew the importance of his research. If not James wouldn¡¯t had sent so many of his trusted scientists, so of course, there would be a big amount of funds involved. Finally after making sense of it, all of them entered the house.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    During the three days, Silva challenged the two girls too find where he hid the presents. As he knew they liked to take a peek at the stuff they were getting before time. He saw them doing this to Tai many times during the past years. After accepting, both ended exhausted in the futile intent to find them, Silva just laughed at their complains, as he only did it to mess with them.


    Silva passed his entire time with the five of them, including Zwei. Making up for the time they weren¡¯t together. They went to look around the city visiting many different places and many different stores, where they bought one thing or another, watching movies, or into a comic store, where they had to wait for Ruby for nearly an entire afternoon.


    Finally during the end of the year, all of them simply stayed at the mansion playing Remnant Board Game, waiting for the dinner. When it was finally night, just like always, there was one drunkard who came late.


    ¡°Hey! Kiddos¡± Coming from the house backyards there was no other than Qrow.

 9. - RWBYS: Expanding Influence

    Coming late as always there was Qrow, the man that had been missing for quite the time, after all, as an agent of Ozpin, sometimes there were missions that took a long time. Seeing him the little loud kid, jumped towards him, just like always, and letting them see the same scene. But for Silva there was no way it got boring.


    After he entered the house, they all surrounded him in order to welcome him, asking a few questions and making a few short talks, time for dinner came, as everyone stopped in order to eat and celebrate End of Year, taking deep breath, Silva realized that this was his fourth year in Remnant and as things continued, his heart had finally found a place to call home, in the past he used to think of this place as the world of RWBY but as thing progressed he realized that it was not like that anymore, for him this was his world.


    Finally after the celebration was over, the time both girls were waiting so much came, the time for presents, seeing them so excited, both Tai and Summer, took some small gift boxes towards them, as Yang and Ruby opened them, two scrolls were found inside, for most child of their age, it was around the time they started having one.


    In fact Yang had to wait a year more as Tai wanted to gift them, the scroll for both of them at the same time, for Silva, the scroll was a necessity in order to contact Ozpin, and in fact he received one after the incident where he almost lost his life rescuing Yang, Qrow in fact gave them some spending cash as if not caring the fact, they were currently in a villa.


    Suddenly Qrow passed him something, looking at him acting so strange, he looked at the thing he had given him, only to stare at him shocked, as he was about to say something, Tai who saw the whole thing took the thing he gave Silva, and threw it directly at Qrow¡¯s face.


    ¡°What the hell Tai?¡± he complained ¡°You idiot look at the thing you gave him¡±, hearing him Qrow who probably didn¡¯t saw what he took from his jacket, took a look at it, ¡°Crap, wrong thing¡±, he said as he stared at the porn magazine he took by mistake, putting it back on his jacket this time he took a cylindered metal object.


    ¡°This is the thing, Sorry Kid¡± giving it to Silva, he said a little embarrassed, even he would feel awkward after giving a porn mag to a kid as end year present. Taking a look at the object he asked ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Touch the button at the side and put it the table, it took me a favor from Jim¡± Hearing him, Silva did as told, once he did a holographic screen and keyboard appeared, ¡°This is?¡±


    ¡°Is a new model of portable computers, they used the technology you been sending them to make it¡± Seeing it, even though Silva could still ask for one in the future, he was still touched by the action. ¡°Thank you! Old man¡±


    Feeling the change on his tone, Qrow just gave a wry smile and said ¡°I told you not to call me that¡± while he raised a flask to drink, seeing them like this Tai and Summer just smiled, suddenly Summer took a small gift box for him ¡°This is for you from us, Silva¡±


    ¡°Ehh? Ohh! Thank you, Aunt Summer, Uncle Tai¡± Taking the small box, he tore the gift envelop with an small smile, after opening the box he saw a silver necklace with the form of a detailed wolf head, what shocked him the most, was that it looked just like Cloud¡¯s Fenrir mark.


    Looking at all of this, he couldn¡¯t help but smile at the world¡¯s coincidences, taking a big breath, he felt some small tears well on his eyes, looking around to them, he smiled and gave them a sincere ¡°Thank you!¡± as his company was starting up, he did not care much about the value, but the feelings behind it.


    ¡°That¡¯s great! I was sincerely worried when Yang gave me the design, but it seemed to have turned all right¡± Summer said to him, listening her, he realized that it was probably an idea that Yang had, as Summer was skilled making weapons, a small thing like this was no problem.


    Taking another breath, he then said ¡°Well it¡¯s time for my presents¡±, right after that he went towards his room, to look for the presents, it was only yesterday in the night, that they came from the company, after all, he challenged the girls in order to distract them, and to have them not look into the house anymore.


    Coming down he brought a few boxes with him, and an enveloped bottle of liqueur, he simply passed the bottle towards Qrow. It was like he was not even trying to hide it, ¡°Hey!¡± Seeing the simplicity of the wrapping, Qrow complained.


    ¡°Look at it¡± that was the only thing that he told Qrow, as he gave two boxes towards the two girls, who immediately opened it. Opening it Ruby screamed through the roof as she looked at the small metallic walking humanoid, it was small as it was a little taller than Silva.


    Looking at everyone but Ruby stunned he said ¡°It¡¯s a small version of the new Atlesian Knight¡±


    ¡°Well I say I say a small version, but it combat capabilities are zero, as is not built for battle in any way, is so light that even I can hold it, you can say is a small butler¡± seeing them still stunned, he explained.


    ¡°I understand, but in order to made this¡­ ¡±Tai said shocked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I only exchanged for a special mark the General has been bothering me for some time¡± Hearing him everyone could only smile wryly and nod. Seeing the present, the little Ruby was so excited that threw herself at Silva giving him a bear hug.


    Looking at Ruby present, Yang finished opening hers, to find a compactable bicycle inside, seeing her stunned Silva told her ¡°I know that you like motorcycles Yang, but even if I gave on to you, do you think uncle Tai will let you ride it?¡±


    Yang looked at her dad, and seeing him nod she could only sigh, before Silva stunned her by saying ¡°But do you think, that bicycle is so simple?¡±, seeing his smile mischievously, she took another look before touching the frame, feeling some small patterns, she gave a big smile before hugging him too.


    Looking at them, Tai could imply the meaning of the conversation and sigh, after all he knew that no matter what he did to it, it won¡¯t be putting her at risk. Right after the hug stopped, he took a bone shaped present and gave it to Zwei, making this one bark while moving his tail, he obviously was happy.


    Finally he turned towards Tai and Summer, before giving them two small gift boxes, the smallest of all the presents. ¡°This is the only thing, I could think of giving you, I hope you like it¡±, taking the boxes, they both opened to see it inside, this boxes were light and they were not gift wrapped.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Inside it, two pendants with an incredibly pure crystal dust appeared, the crystal was completely transparent, yet the moment they both took it with their hands, the color started changing Tai¡¯s crystal became yellow, while Summer¡¯s red, right after that a thread of visible aura, floated outside the crystal, touching one another, instantly in the middle of the crystals another color appeared.


    This color was the same as the other pendants, so both pendants though in different proportions, both shared the same colors, and both had silver marks around the crystal, as they took it, Summer and Tai could feel how a connection between them was made. While they were amazed, Silva said ¡°This is something special I made for you¡±


    ¡°It has the power to monitor one another, and inside there is powerful protective mark, which will active immediately after a life threatening blow, and when the crystal is broken, it can take the user towards the other one side, this is something that I was able to make, thanks to the atlas researchers¡± Silva explained.


    The moment he did, Tai took a step towards him and gave him a hug, as his shoulder trembled, he knew perfectly the meaning of the present, and why he gave it to them, as Summer status as a dark huntresses was a secret only a few knew of, he knew that as the person who rescued Summer, he could tell that will she wasn¡¯t doing any missions at the moment, it was not like she could stop completely.


    The only reason why she stopped so suddenly after the last one, was to protect her life, as Ozpin understood that she was now being targeted, she could only stop in order to draw away the enemy¡¯s eyes. It wasn¡¯t Tai that hugged Silva as right after Summer and the girls did too, even Qrow looked at him with a smile on his face.


    Finally everyone leaved him as Tai dried his eyes with his hands, giving Silva a smile, both him and Summer, gave him a big thanks, finally after some time, they started to celebrate once more, before Ruby and Yang fell asleep and Summer had to take them to their room, because Tai and Qrow were to drunk.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    A few days after, the four of them had to return to Patch, just like he thought the time for Summer to start going into mission was now coming back, right after putting the girls on bed, Silva could chat with her alone, as she was the only one not drunk.


    After drinking the whole bottle of expensive liqueur, Qrow realized that at the bottom of the bottle something similar to the pendant Summer and Tai received was found. Which made him laugh wryly towards Silva as he leaved the house by waving it at his face.


    Finally a few weeks after, the sales started, for the population was a surprise out of nowhere a mixed Business appeared in the commercial district, a six story high building with a store at the lower floor, with both Faunus and Humans. Named Silver Fang, this was thanks to Ozpin connections which filled part of the staff with people he could trust.


    The few first days, were the emptiest as no person dared to enter the store, it was not after news of the new uniform of Beacon spread out, this new uniforms had to ability of strengthen a person abilities greatly, causing many different warriors to inquire about them.


    It was after Ozpin himself released the news that the Silver Fang were the ones responsible for its creation, that the opened store flooded with Huntsmen and Huntresses, after many questions and answers, the staff gave an explanations of the power of markings, and used a certified Atlas Tech document as a backing of his words.


    Suddenly the Faunus status soared, as the population heard that the only ones that could create this type of markings were only them, this caused the entire store to be filled with orders, thankfully during the last three months Silva was able to create many different premade markings, the clothing markings at different from other markings, were made by using special metallic threads infused with Faunus aura.


    By suturing this threads in a certain form, it wouldn¡¯t restrict the movement at all, and thanks to Atlas technology, they were able to create a sewing machine for the clothing, but for things like shoes or belts they used metallic plating on the shoe plates or buckles.


    As the huntsmen tried the products many reviews came up, and just like Silva said while it was a little helpful for fourth and fifth rank huntsmen, for sixth rank huntsmen it was completely useless. Yet it did matter as here were not many sixth rank huntsmen in many kingdoms, it was still useful for many warriors.


    Not only that but after inquiring more they realized a set of combat clothing could have up to four different markings, with an immense variety to choose, this meant there could be specialized combat equipment.


    But things didn¡¯t stop there, just as many people were concentrated in clothing markings, a video in the media, came out, showing a weapon with aura markings, at that moment everyone went nuts, weapons could be marked too?, once more the huntsmen community started to review more, and they came to a conclusion that while, clothing had a limit of use, weapons did not, this caused thee weapons made disappeared almost immediately, while some huntsman with sophisticated equipment asked for special marking.


    Because of all of this, new Faunus staff continued coming up form Menagerie, and with the help of the already built machines and the ones being made, little by little they could continue operating, yet not everything was great, as there were some groups that tried to attack the building.


    Thankfully they were already prepared, a group led by Sienna protected the place, with a big amount of Faunus huntsmen and a small portion of human huntsmen contracted by Silva, using Ozpin connections. They used a special uniform with a three silver claw marks at their back and a mask that protected their faces, their weapons were all marked with enchanted marks.


    Ghira as the high leader of the white fang, took the time light as one of the two heads of the Silver Fang Company, while Silva remained in the dark, as the importance of their company started to rise, the opinion of the population started to change, many business which had problems with Faunus, started to change their ways, as they looked at the company for partnership.


    As the word started to spread, through the use of the communication towers, the other kingdoms heard the news, this caused for powerful families and companies to set their eyes on this starting company, and just as Silva thought, they started causing trouble by saying that this was a power that everyone should have, asking for the release of the technology.


    As some were already expecting this outcome, they started adding pressure to the company, yet actions were short lived, as Silva had already signed an accord of cooperation with Ozpin, and even though not many people knew, he knew that he had a big influence in the fourth kingdoms. As a week right after the trouble, everything stopped, stunning the smaller groups that tried to add pressure on the Silver Fang.


    Finally everyone could only stare as the company little by little grew more powerful, by the end of the year, they had already bought a large spot at the industrial district, and two more buildings at the business district, in order to accommodate the sheer amount of orders coming from the four kingdoms.


    Silva knew that by doing this he was going to be giving more opportunities to those who desired their products, so together with Ghira and Ozpin, they decide to hire a big amount of Huntsmen with clean backgrounds from both Menagerie and the four Kingdoms in order to protect the cargo. Sometimes even Qrow participated on its protection, of course Silva knew that he was doing it for something else, or better told someone else.


    One year and a half later, the Silver Fang Company with the support of Ozpin, successfully obtained a spot in the Vale¡¯s Council, and two years and a half earlier than in the story, Ghira stepped down as high leader of the White Fang, to become Chieftain of Menagerie.

 10. - RWBYS: Quest Update

    This change in the history, didn¡¯t bring much surprise to Silva, as he understood that this was something Vale council desired, in order to root the Company to Vale itself, this was something the SDC wanted to obtain in Atlas but haven¡¯t been able to do so, so you could see with how much importance the council looked at them, and Ozpin influence on it. Ghira stepping down didn¡¯t bring many waves in the Silver Fang Company, as his authority in the White Fang was mostly taken by Sienna, because of how busy he was dealing with the Company.


    Of course as Silva was now their cooperation partner, he was the first being notified, and he even had authority in the appointment of the next high leader, this was because even if most of the personnel was Faunus, Silva was the one that had the backing and funds, to his decision of appointing Sienna as the next he didn¡¯t had any rejection, he realized that Sienna was not an Faunus Supremacist, she was the type of leader that used violence when there was a call for it, perfect for the post as the current white fang was in charge of the protection of the Company.


    At the moment the company started to grow, his influence bar on the quest description started to grow, it quickly reached the (095/100) a year after but no matter how much more they expanded the numbers didn¡¯t seem to grow up anymore.


    As a matter of fact, the only reason why they went up so fast, was because the Vytal Tournament, as all participants equipment were modified freely by the Silver Fang Company to fit their needs, this opened the eyes of the importance of the equipment towards the civilians, even the ones that still discriminated against the Faunus had no other choice to change their way of thinking, as it was made known to the public, that only the Faunus could create the clothing marks.


    Yet was only the moment Ghira was chosen as the Silver Fang Representative in Vale¡¯s Council that the awaited notification finally appeared.

    Seeing that finally the notification appeared, inside his part office and research room, he was satisfied, he had finally broken the mark of 8000 points. In fact he had already realized the difference between quests.


    Main quests gave the riches rewards, as it gave you points, marks and knowledge, Hidden quests gave rewards that affected his body directly, while Normal quests meant to help him break through his limits, and while it gave points, most of this quests were of battle.


    During the past two years as he was so concentrated in the company that he had zero time to fight, so he haven¡¯t gathered any points, in fact this one was the first quest he was tasked where there was no need to battle. What had him more excited was the peak weapon design understanding, as during this past year together with the weapon makers under him, he had been able to expand his knowledge and reach the advanced level by himself, he knew that of all of them, a few were able to reach this level, and now he had the opportunity to directly jump it over.


    Apart of that he was confused as he asked the system of the extra reward, making the system said back ¡°Because of host excellent performance, host has received and extra reward, the system encourages you to continue doing your best¡±, hearing that he was pretty surprised, but as he thought maybe the system had a way to evaluate his performance, seemingly five years was not bad considering his age.


    Looking at the rewards and the more he looked, the more he smiled, taking a look at the spatial storage mark, he knew that this was an incredible thing that would change the word. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes as he laid on his chair, he used both the aura refinement crystal and the understanding crystals, and letting them do them work.


    Finally after the effects were completed, with the amount of points he had in spare, he started to enchant his body strength and buying a few expensive designs he wanted, after utilizing the Mark of Bonds on his body appeared two tattooed like marks, just like the Damocles Mark in his body, one had the form of a purple tiger with silver stripes and yellow eyes, while the other had the form of a red and black crow with silver eyes.


    Both marks appeared behind his shoulders, while the Damocles mark was located at his heart, utilizing the rest of his point he marked his body once with the flying god thunder technique, at difference from the first mark, this one permitted him to utilize space energy to move at incredible speed, after all for no reason the fourth Hokage was called the fastest shinobi, now he only needed to train.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform.

    Half a year more passed quickly, it was already close to end of the year once more, Silva had already being on this world for about five years and a half, and his body age was of an eleven years old child. Silva together with Atlas Tech, had developed many different marks, and advanced in their understanding of the energy gathering mark, as they had developed a prototype of a functional energy generator using a newly created fourth tier mark, not only that but he had given them the spatial storage mark for them to research.


    After all, Silva spent most of his time, trying to create a weapon masterpiece, but it did not matter how much effort he put, it took half a year for him to create a weapon with 80% percent satisfaction, thinking it correctly, with all the help he had, it took him three years in order for him to obtain a spot at the Vale Council, yet it had proved him difficult for him to expand his influence in Atlas.


    There were many powerful families that while ready to accept a cooperation, were not willing to be brought under their banner, as the council on Atlas was afraid of giving them too much power, the good thing is that they already had a foothold in Atlas, which was located in Mantle, ever since gaining enough capital and power in Atlas, Ghira had immediately used this chance to help the Faunus living in Atlas.


    There was some resistance from some council members of Atlas, but they could not say anything, as it was done under the banner of aid, of course there were some conflicts that occurred in Mantle against some dark organization, which were resolved by the use of the Silver Claw Members, leaded by Sienna.


    Yet on his mind, he had already thought of way of expanding his influence in Atlas, or better say of a target, which was no other than the Schnee Dust Company, he knew exactly the situation they were passing, as he had asked Ozpin for information, he knew that after some time, the General Ironwood let the SDC into the energy gathering program, and they had made great advancement in order to salvage their situation.


    With the advancement of Aura Technology, Atlas Tech were able to create many prototypes that replaced the use of many Dust crystals bought from the SDC, and from the fact that the principal income was no longer so utilized and the cheap Faunus labor was no longer accessible, the SCD had to come up with ways to solve their problems, Silva had to admit that while Jacques Schnee was arrogant he was not and idiot.


    Because after gaining access to the aura marks technology, they were able to come up with the equipment necessary to rise once more, he did not know how, he only knew they did it, and while the rice of dust reduced, the quantity and purity augmented, because of this they were able to cut almost completely their treaties with questionable business partners and coming up clean in the eyes of James Ironwood.


    He knew that they were the ones he had to target, after all they were the only ones out of the other dust companies that were able to do such a thing, and he had to get Jacques attention, after he had a way to get all the profit he wanted, the only thing he needed now, was time.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    While he was making his plans, an alarm rang inside of his head as he stood suddenly from his chair, and moved his eyes towards the window looking at the other side of the industrial district. After his gaze passed the river, he could feel his connection with the Qrow¡¯s pendant and his location.


    ¡°The abandoned district, he is on one of the islands¡±


    At difference from Summer¡¯s pendant, the one he gave Qrow was different, it was filled three third tier protective marks, yet at this moment, two were completed destroyed at once, that meant that while his life was not in danger, he was probably badly hurt.


    Taking his scroll he dialed a number, it only took a few seconds for the other side to answer. ¡°Boss, What wrong?¡± from the other side a young voice was heard.


    ¡°Adam! Tell Fennec to ready a team, it doesn¡¯t matter the size, I need them in five¡±


    ¡°And load my Fenrir in the bullhead¡± After that he immediately closed the call, moved to the sides of the room while he dialed another number, taking out armament from the table. As he started to get dress the voice of Ozpin sounded from the scroll.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Silva?¡±


    ¡°Ozpin! Qrow is in danger, the pendant I gave him is almost broken, I can feel his aura is almost depleted but his position is not changing, I know he is in the Abandoned District but I need his exact location¡±


    ¡°I understand! I¡¯ll be sending you his signal, but be careful¡± Closing the call, Silva finished his preparations and moved toward the aircraft hangar.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a deep breath Ozpin did as he said and sent the location to Silva, he knew that the moment he called him by his name, something was wrong. He knew how stubborn Silva could be in this situations after all they had been partners for almost six years, he knew Silva trained together with his Silver Claw members and sometime even participated in their operatives, even though he was the boss and a revolutionary genius in technology, the boy was a natural born warrior, thinking for a bit he sent a text to another of his agents in the city.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Entering the industrial hangar there were the aircraft parked, after all ever since they started trading with another cities, they had to buy quite a few of them, thankfully the white fang already had a few ready.


    As he walked he put on top of his face a mask that covered the upper part of his head, similar to the Silver Claw team, only his outfit was different as it was black with many visible silver marks, and a silver wolf head medal on his chest.


    As he walked inside the hangar, many people recognized him, yet everyone only maintained silence while they looked at him, but inside of their eyes you could traces of worship, even though Silva appearance was a secret to most of them, his existence was not. Every military member knew of him, after all even though he had already done so much for them, he still participated in their operations, so while the higher members would not tell them who he was, they could infer it for the amount of respect they treated him with, because of this, his existence was not a secret in the Silver Fang, but for the outside world it was.


    Finally he reached the place where two bullheads were warmed up and waiting for him, in the middle a group of fourteen people were waiting for him, the most notable was the young Adam who looked to be around fifteen of age, ten armed masked members with two pilots and a Faunus wearing a red hood.


    As he reached there the man in red hood said ¡°Boss! They are the one I could prepare as fast as I could, they were already ready for the next delivery, and the two bullheads are the new inscribed models Atlas Tech sent us, they should take you faster to the destination¡±


    ¡°Great! It doesn¡¯t matter, just apologize for technical difficulties, and give them a discount for the next batch of parts¡±


    ¡°I already sent the location to your scrolls, load it on the bullheads, and control our travel, in any case, ready another team on standby¡±


    ¡°Understood! Boss¡±


    ¡°Now let¡¯s move!¡± Silva said as he boarded a bullhead together with Adam and two masked member, one Human the other Faunus.

 11. - RWBYS: Rescue and Suppression

    In a broken facility Qrow took a deep breath as he held his bleeding stomach with one hand, that explosion had almost killed him completely, who would have thought that those guys would prepare something like that, if this was another time he would have left already, but right now he couldn¡¯t, not as long as he saw them.


    Moving his head to the back, he saw seven frightened kids, the only ones still alive, in this living hell, some of them covered in bandages, part of the underground facilities were covered in flames, broken glasses seemed to be everywhere, there were shadows of grimm moving on top of the whole, he had played it wrong, he had forced them to release their captured Grimm.


    Taking a deep breath, a shadow fell down from the broken whole, looking at it was a was a gorilla like Grimm with many broken bone like plate on his body, part of his skin looked burned, the moment it saw Qrow it became agitated and aggressive.


    It scream in rage as it moved closer towards the Qrow, seeing the monster Qrow a defensive stance as he waited the opportunity, at that moment the Grimm moved punching toward the place where Qrow stood, at that moment Qrow jumped and used the Grimm arms as foothold, and quickly slashed the creature¡¯s head, killing it instantly.


    The moment he touched the ground, his wound once more opened as his aura was already at the limits, making him cough blood, he tried to maintain his posture, but the loss of blood caused him to kneel on the ground, frightening the kids behind him, he was about to calm them down, when once more three Grimm figure came down the hole, screaming in rage once more.


    Seeing this he couldn¡¯t help but despair a bit, and once more took a stance, he was resolved to buy the kids some time, even if it meant his end. Takin a deep breath his mind recalled many people, just at the end the figure of an annoying brat came to his mind, making him smile wryly, he was about to speak to the kids, when a big amount of bullets came down the hole, instantly killing the Grimms, looking at the night sky from the hole, the figure of two aircrafts with a silver wolf head at the side appeared moving closer towards them.


    ¡°Seems like today is not my day¡± At that moment his body relaxed against the wall, seeing that he knew who had come for him, and smiled bitterly as he something shoot out of the aircraft. ¡°Crazy Brat!¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Moments before on top of the night sky, Silva looked at the broken hole on top the underground shelter, he saw many Grimm shadows running around the place, it was not a big island, it could be considered quite small but the quantity of Grimm was enormous, it looked to be that shelter was shelter was built to be the island.


    Focusing aura on his eyes, a pair of marks shined inside them, using his ability the best as he could, he spotted Qrow aura, together with some other small children, seven to be precise, they were right below the hole, looking around he saw more auras, most were weak, and all of the converged towards a single point. Just at that moment he saw three Grimm shadows entered the hole.


    Giving his orders immediately, he ordered to open fire, killing the three Grimm and alerting the other ones around the island as they roared to the sky. Looking at the place once more, he took a few minutes in silence before speaking once more, this time he used his earpiece to communicate his orders.


    ¡°Adam, contact Fennec ask him to send the reinforcements to this location immediately, and ready the Fenrir¡± he told him, nodding Adam did as told and moved to the back of the bullhead while using a scroll.


    Taking a deep breath, Silva continued to relay his orders ¡°We are going in, Adam and I will be dropping, we will secure a landing zone around the hole, for you to drop and expand its size. Your orders are to rescue those inside the hole, get them on a bullhead and get them out of here¡±


    ¡°Once done, you will go full power, try to get as many as you can, but don¡¯t go too far, the other bullhead targets the bigger Grimm, don¡¯t worry about the amount of aura bullets, we cannot let the Grimm out of the island as they could reach the coast¡± as the bullhead could only carry 9 people with the pilot, so he could get them all out using only one.


    Once he was done giving the instructions, a roaring engine sound was heart and Adam appeared sited in a black with silver markings motorcycle, this was a modified prototype, he asked his men to create, looking like Cloud¡¯s Fenrir just smaller. ¡°While they take care of Grimm, we will get the cockroaches trying to escape from the shelter, they are converging at the other side, planning to escape, so don¡¯t let anyone get away¡± Silva told Adam, as he saw him nod with a smile.


    No one had complains, even though both of them were the youngest of the bunch, they were not exactly weaker, they had both participated in different operations, and while their strength was close to the second rank, with the power of the aura markings they were strong as one.


    Going closer to his Fenrir he opened the expandable compartments and took two gun blades and loaded a special magazine, taking a seat behind Adam he said once more using his earpiece ¡°Operation start¡±. Making Adam accelerate and jump out the bullhead.


    Falling down, he used his right gun blade and shot silver aura bullets toward the Grimm in the ground, creating a silver trajectory, hitting them accurately and hurting them as they screamed in pain, some of them instantly died as they were hit on the head, while the stronger ones started to rage as they used their arms to protect themselves from the bullets.


    Continuing dropping, none of the two looked nervous, just as they were about to hit the ground, Silva used his left gun blade and shot two gravity dust bullet towards the ground, the force pushed them upwards, cancelling the falling forces and landing safely.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    Accelerating once more, they moved towards the hole, there were some stronger Grimms that ran towards them, only to receive a big amount of bullets from the sky from the bullheads. Some lucky Grimm was able to make it close to the hole, Adam accelerated and unsheathed his katana, as he cut the monster head of with a move.


    Reaching the hole, Silva got quickly got down, and continued to shoot toward the incoming Grimm, most of them were small creeps and beowolves, so his aura bullets were incredible dangerous for the Grimms as they carried the trait of inviolability, at that moment Adam got out of the motorcycle, took out his scabbard and transformed it into a gun, as he started shooting too.


    Really quickly the created enough space for the landing, as the rest of the silver claw quickly dropped down the bullhead using long ropes and started using gun forms, to open fire upon the Grimm, what everyone was using was aura dust bullets, specially made by the Silver Fang to carry the aura of the user.


    Finally they had eliminated most of the frenzy Grimms, while the rest of them tried to run away into the island trees, allowing the Bullhead where Silva and Adam rode to descent into the land, without anyone saying anything the four member entered the hole, in order to extract Qrow and the children.


    Even though Silva wasn¡¯t the one doing the rescue, he was the most worried, as the moment he saw Qrow out of the hole, he finally sighed in relief as he looked at Qrow giving him a bitter smile. ¡°Seems your still kicking, Old man¡±.


    ¡°Hah! You will not get rid of me that easily, and I told you before to stop calling me that, Brat¡± Qrow complained with a small smile on his face.


    ¡°Seeing you still have the strength to talk back, I can now go¡± he answered back towards him, ¡°those guys are using this as a diversion¡± Using his earpiece he relied orders once more ¡°Load the in the Bullhead and Move¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go Adam!¡± he told him as he moved towards Fenrir and expanded the compartments once more, two one sided blades without handle appeared, transforming the two gun blades, he joined them to the Grip at that moment a few Silver markings appeared as the joined.


    Strapping them to his back, he once more seated behind Adam as they accelerated towards the other side, the other bullhead could not move as it was the only thing defending them from bigger Grimms, as there were too still too many left, he knew they would return as the only reason why they ran was the bullheads.


    Just as he though once more, bullets rained from the sky as bigger Grimms made their presence known, without looking behind the motorcycle moved, yet at that moment the sound of another aircraft appeared from the direction they were moving.


    ¡°Crap, there is one leaving already¡± Seeing that, he told Adam to accelerate once more as they rode in the unstable path. As they got closer, the sound of another engine appeared, this time the distance was not long, as Adam rode, Silva said ¡°Move don¡¯t let another one leave¡± and jumped from the motorcycle.


    Taking out both swords, he joined them from the grip and using his aura to activate its mechanisms to transform it into a bow body, this were the first four out of his own Damocles Fusion Sword, the last piece or main blade was not completed yet, because of that, this was not a complete masterpiece weapon.


    Taking a breath from his uniform he took a long dust bullet, touching it with aura, and shaft extended and transformed into an arrow, making the motions of drawing the arrow, a silver aura bow string appeared as the silver markings became visible, after positioning completely, his eyes shined with marks as the cartridge system made it work, filling the arrow body with power.


    Finally at the distance another aircraft elevated to the sky slowly, inside Silva could see many different auras, some with panicked movements, all of them with very low power, at that same moment the arrow¡¯s aura reached the limit and Silva simply let it go.


    Drawing a beautiful silver trajectory in the night sky, with the beauty of a wishing star, the arrow flied with immense speed towards the aircraft, reaching it almost instantly, penetrating it and exploding with enormous power, destroying it completely. Seeing the blown target Silva body shone with a silver light as it instantly disappeared from the place, leaving behind a silver light trail just like his arrow.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    At that moment Adam was in a difficult situation, there were different bodies mutilated around him, some were still alive but were holding their missing body parts, they all had white long robes, some of them dark uniforms, yet what stopped him from moving was the mad man in front of him, an old man full of white hair that had a crazy look on his face holding a fainted bald girl on his arms, he had a gun pointing at her head and was the only one unhurt.


    He looked around nervously as he asked ¡°Get out of there, somebody get me out of here! I can¡¯t die here¡± he keep looking at the sky with a frightful gaze, a moment ago one aircraft just exploded and a masked man just appeared out of nowhere and started cutting everyone around.


    At that moment, Adam took a step causing the old man to scream frightened ¡°Don¡¯t move! Stay away from me, or I¡¯ll shot¡­.¡± Before he could say another word, a gunshot was heard as the last thing his eyes saw was Adam¡¯s smile.


    From behind a hand grabbed the girl, as the figure of Silva appeared from behind the falling old man, looking at him, Adam said ¡°It¡¯s done Boss¡±. Nodding towards Adam he held the girl on his arms, as he looked around the place, there were three aircrafts left intact, and a few breathing bodies, most of them were missing a few parts as they lost consciousness because of the blood lost.


    ¡°You really should do something with your mania of cutting people parts, of it continue like this some of them will bleed out and die, we need a few alive so tie their parts¡± He told Adam with a Wry smile.


    Shrugging his shoulders, he moved to do as told ¡°Seems like we would had let them get away if we didn¡¯t come fast¡± right at that moment Silva heard something and pointed his gun towards a direction while squinting his eyes, even Adam took battle stance.


    From the bushes the figure of a woman appeared, wearing a white cloak covered in a hood, seeing her, Silva couldn¡¯t help be stunned, as he recognized the person. ¡°Aunt Summer?¡±


    Hearing Adam released his stance, as he saw the woman take her hood of and show her face, at that moment Silva asked ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°Ozpin sent me a message¡± she said while taking a heavy breath, ¡°I had to use my semblance to the maximum in order to cross the sea, I was about to go where the bullhead was but I saw you aura attack and came here instead¡±


    ¡°I understand, did you saw any Grimms on your way here?¡±


    ¡°Not many, but they were all moving to where the Bullhead is¡± she pointed


    ¡°I understand, Can you take care of this place and her?¡± Silva asked and gave the girl to summer as he saw her nod, ¡°Let¡¯s go back Adam, there may be too many for them alone¡±

 12. - RWBYS: Operation Over

    When they returned to the hole, they had a real bitter fight until the reinforcement appeared, there were just too many of them, right after they leaved, the big Grimms started attacking together, thankfully they didn¡¯t lose anyone that night.


    Yet they lost a bullhead when a Beringel threw a big rock at it, it was only by the end of the night that the battle finally ended, for them everything was over, and they had already contacted Ozpin and the Silver Fang to come pick them up and take care of the rest.


    A few hours after, Ozpin had taken away the survivors of the base, he had a bitter face as he later on saw the bandaged children, for the bald girl, she was taken by the silver fang together with Qrow, in order to give them intensive care, as he had bought a few medical cradles from Atlas tech, and out of all the children she was in a critical condition.


    As the Faunus had made am advancement in the field of medicine while using their own understanding, Faunus had a medical understanding similar in what his past world would be traditional Chinese medicine, and using Faunus aura marks, they created their own panaceas, this was an idea they obtained after Silva gave them to research a few Serums he obtained from the system.


    Even though they lost their magical properties because of the world laws, the Faunus were able to substitute the mystical elements with the use of aura, it was simple for Silva to obtain this serums, after all the more useless are in the world, the cheaper they are in the system store. Because of their incredible effects and advancement, Atlas tech couldn¡¯t help but certify this advancement once more, and within the Aura Mark encyclopedia created, gave them a special classification.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    A few days after Silva received clarification of who were those people, it seemed that he been deemed worthy of trust by Ozpin as he received explanations about it, the group were survivors of a project called Tripartite, it started as a group of researcher investigating about human, aura and Grimm.


    It was started in order to obtain a bigger understanding of the limits of humanity, and the weakness of the Grimm, everything was fine until the head researcher, started to do unethical experiments, he tried to fuse the three subjects of experimentation, going completely nuts, by saying that by joining the Grimms with humans, he was going to create a new race.


    When the council realized what he was doing, they immediately moved to suppress them, yet he had found a mysterious backing, and even though the head was killed, there were a few researchers that shared his same goal that were able to escape. In the end the experiment was fruitless, as the survivors of the experiments died or became complete Grimms, as by no circumstance they can mix with one another.


    As the Grimm cell devour the body of the carrier, because of that, only aura is able to fight the power of the Grimm, as they do not carry a soul, aura which is the energy of the soul is effective against them, hearing that Silva understood why his silver aura affected the Grimm so much, it innate power of inviolability served to reject their existence, this is why as he grew stronger, he was almost untouchable by weak Grimms. Thinking of this, a crazy idea came to his mind, yet this was something for the future.


    While the reason Qrow was hurt, was because of an experiment they were doing after receiving from Atlas, a leak of aura markings, because of its instability it ended up blowing up, while Qrow took the hit in order to save a few kids he had rescued.


    It seemed to be that the power of the aura markings had ignited hope in their hearts, and Qrow had been tasked by Ozpin to investigate their movements two years ago, because of his presence, they had almost no chance to do anything major, and remained hidden. It was a few weeks ago with the help of Summer, that he had found a lead towards them.


    The reason why Qrow was alone, was because they were entrusted different tasks, Qrow was to find the group, while Summer was to find their backing. Finally after the explanation all his doubts about the event were dispelled, even though he knew that he could push Ozpin for answers, he decided against it. He wanted to let them take the initiative, only by doing that Ozpin would take the initiative to make him a core part of their group, even though in his eyes he had already done enough, his age was a detriment to the cause, in any case he already had knowledge of this things.


    To Ozpin explanation he didn¡¯t say anything back and just told him, he would give any support he needed if the situation arose, that he only needed to tell him, he didn¡¯t ask him anything else neither he asked for benefits, this undoubtedly gained Ozpin favor, as days later he sent the three obtained aircraft to his company in apology for the loss of the bullhead.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a breath, Silva leaved his separated office in the industrial property, and with a mask on moved to the medical department in the property, this was created in order to attend injured silver claw member, as it also worked as a research facility, it was always full of the best equipment, in fact Ghira as the chief of Menagerie had expanded their planting fields, full of medical ingredients, creating many more jobs for the Faunus, and raising his Ghira¡¯s family status.


    Reaching the medical department, he moved quickly toward one of the rooms, there were many different guards yet none of them stopped him on his way, from outside the room, a noisy complain could be heard as the voice of a young girl answered him back in a humorous yet sarcastic tone.


    ¡°Look Girly, I had already told you many times, I¡¯m already fine, it doesn¡¯t even hurt anymore, so give me back my flask¡±This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    ¡°Says the man with a hole in the stomach, and the answer is still no, you had already lost consciousness once, after drinking a bit yesterday¡±


    ¡°Hey I need a drink to get pass the pain, ok?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it didn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡± Hearing her words, the voice of the man couldn¡¯t help but stop, from outside the room, Silva couldn¡¯t help but try to hold his laughter in, opening the door he looked at the man with a smile on his face, and he had finally discovered Qrow weakness, which in fact was little children.


    There were a few people on the room, there was Qrow seated on a bed with his left hand trying to grab something at the side, right next to him was a black haired girl, the same age as Silva, seated in a chair while holding a book in one hand and grabbing a flask in the other.


    The girl was none other than Blake Belladonna, Ghira¡¯s daughter which was tasked to supervise Qrow, at difference from the series she was a little more cheerful, she still had a ribbon on her head, but it was not on top covering her Faunus ears but at the back, it was something he had bought her during the last Vytal Festival, when they strolled around with Ruby, Yang and Adam.


    Looking at them, he almost couldn¡¯t hold the urge of laughing, but taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he entered the room, at the side of the room, were two guards and a nurse checking into a medical cradle, giving them a nod, they understood and went out of the room, closing the door on the way out, seeing that nobody else was left, he took out his mask to look at Qrow.


    ¡°You sure like to cause a mess, Old man. You don¡¯t die from the injury, but nearly passed away from your drinking habits, you are quite the thing, I already received quite a few complains of you harassing the nurse, you know?¡± Hearing him talk, Blake couldn¡¯t help but giggle at him.


    ¡°Thank you for your help Blake, How was your journey back home?¡±


    ¡°No problem Silva, It was fine, Mom asked me to tell you to come by some time¡± Blake responded with a smile on her face, Silva couldn¡¯t help but to smile, after all Ruby and Blake were his favorite characters.


    ¡°Hey Brat, so you finally had time to come by, and I keep telling you to stop calling me Old man, I¡¯m not that old, Wait! Were you the one who changed my white angel¡± Complained Qrow.


    Silva just ignored his words, while he turned his head with a smile, this caused even more complains from Qrow, and made Blake laugh smile even harder. Looking to the side, he moved his sight towards the medical cradle, inside the girl they rescued was submerged into a transparent green fluid.


    The medical cradle glass was inscribed with Faunus markings, it used pure aura together with a medical concoction, to restore the body strength, it even regenerated body parts, it was a joined creation between the Faunus and atlas tech, the markings had the power to direct the aura and accelerate the power of the fluid.


    ¡°How is she?¡± Silva asked towards Blake, even since he took a better look at the girl, he had the feeling of familiarity, she was older than him, yet she was just as tall as him, her hair showed signs of growing back yet because of the fluid, he couldn¡¯t quite tell her color yet.


    ¡°She is fine, most of her injuries had been restored, it¡¯s just her vocal cords had been greatly damaged¡± Hearing her answer, Silva couldn¡¯t help becoming stunned, and quickly activated his eye markings, the moment he did a shocked expression appeared on his face, he quickly changed back as he turned to face Blake and said.


    ¡°Call me if she wakes up¡± After that he just simply changed the conversation as he said towards Qrow ¡°I will be returning to Patch after in about a week, will you be coming with me, Old man?¡±


    ¡°Well, I haven¡¯t seen those kids in some time, so I¡¯ll go with you after reporting to Oz¡± Qrow just answered, while Blake just turned downcast. Seeing Blake turn gloomy, Silva just sighed and said.


    ¡°Don¡¯t feel bad Blake, we will still be in contact¡± Hearing him speak, her countenanced became brighter as she smiled him back.


    ¡°But what will you returning for? If I¡¯m not wrong, Ozpin already helped you obtain the Signal documents¡±


    He asked confused, he knew that one of busiest people on the Company was none other than him, even though most of personnel didn¡¯t know who he truly was, he still took many important decisions in the place.


    ¡°I need to concentrate in a few weapon creations of my own, and if I continue staying here, many more things will continue to pop¡± He answered towards Qrow, seeing him nod he continued towards Blake ¡°While I¡¯m not here the full power of decision makings, will fall on your father. Please tell him to not be rash with the situation on Mantle, we cannot rush things¡±


    Even though the situation on Mantle had turned better for the Faunus, there were still many conflicts going on the place, there were still many deep rooted organizations that were difficult to treat, some of them backed by the Atlas council, so he had to raise the name of the Company even further, after all Atlas tech had a good understanding of the aura markings thanks to him.


    He needed something that will grab their attention, and for him, that was weaponry, if he could show that he could create huntsman weapons enough to stun them, they would have no choice but to look for them for cooperation, at that time his plans will start.


    Taking a deep breath, he said one last time before putting his mask back on and leaving the room ¡°Blake, send me the designs of your Gambol Shroud, I already got Adam¡¯s Wilt and Blush¡±


    ¡°And you Old Man, Stop trying to get yourself killed¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Leaving the room, Silva started his preparations, he had to move the major part of his laboratory, towards Patch, there were some extra preparations for him to make, during Qrow rescue he had been given a quest for helping, but he was so worried, that he dismissed it without seeing it.


    Once he returned and saw it, he couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned upon seeing it, it was something he never expected to obtain, yet one of the things he most urgently needed.


    HIDDEN QUEST:


    RESCUE QROW BRANWEN: (COMPLETED)


    FIRST REWARD: BODY STRENGTHENING CRYSTAL


    SECOND REWARD: ADVANCED BLACKSMITHING


    He obtained the skill of advanced blacksmithing, which was a random system reward, he knew that blacksmithing was something that existed on Remnant. They could do small transforming modifications to weapons, such as a sheath transforming into a shield, but they did not specialize in fire arms as they only forged normal weapons.


    Because of that it was not something much seen, only the continent of Anima which had many different cultures, had active blacksmiths because of their warrior culture. Maybe because of that he was directly given the advanced tier, after he obtained it there were many ideas brewing on his mind.


    So he wanted a more relaxed environment to concentrate fully. A few days before he returned, the girl in the medical cradle finally woke up.

 13. - RWBYS: Shocked Ozpin

    When he finally knew that she had woken up, he immediately went towards the medical room, only to find everyone outside the room looking downcast, by this time Qrow had already leaved the place. Seeing them all outside, Silva immediately asked ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡±


    Out of everyone it was Blake who answered ¡°It¡¯s the girl. The moment she woke up, she went crazy and started attacking us. We tried holding her back, but she is quite strong. And at the moment we thought we caught her, she broke into glass shards and appeared somewhere else. Sometimes she would disappear completely¡±


    ¡°No matter what we did, we couldn¡¯t touch her. In the end she started throwing stuff at us, making us leave the room¡±


    ¡°I understand, I will take care of it¡± He said as he saw Blake nod, she had full trust on him, after all she had participated in some small operations together with him and Adam.


    Taking a small breath, Silva activated his eyes markings, this was a power he gained after he obtained the mark of bonds, the marking of the crow. The mark had the ability of strengthening his sight and made him able to see someone¡¯s aura directly, this helped him deal easily with illusion semblances.


    Opening the door he entered the room immediately, at the moment he moved his head to the size avoiding a bottle, moving towards a corner, the figure of a beowolf appeared in front of him and launched itself towards him, yet he ignored it completely.


    The moment the Grimm touched him, it shattered into glass. He continued moving towards the corner, finally he stopped a few meters from it. His eyes never leaved the corner, at that moment different things appeared throwing themselves towards Silva, yet he never moved but continued standing in the same place.


    Everything that touched him broke apart into shards, after some time things finally stopped and from the corner the figure of a disheveled girl, clothed in a medical robe appeared, she looked at him frightened, her eyes were heterochromatic and changed colors as she blinked, the top of her had little hair growing with the same color found on her eyes, light pink, brown and a white.


    Silva couldn¡¯t help but continue to look at her as he took of the mask he was wearing, as he confirmed the tragic past of one of the most mysterious characters in RWBY, the girl in front of him was none other than Neo or Neopolitan, the accomplice of Roman Torchwick. To be sincere he never expected to see her this way, even during the moment of the rescue she was too unrecognizable for him, and it was only after hearing her condition from Blake that he started to suspect.


    And today he finally confirmed it, taking a deep breath he moved his hand towards his pocket, making her flinch and look at him warily, from his pocket he took a small package of cookies, he had to thank the small Ruby for this habit, he did not make any big actions, and just opened the package and started eating in front of her.


    He gave big motions for every cookie he ate, yet even as he did he never broke eye contact with her, looking at him eating like that, Neo couldn¡¯t help but stare at him dumbly, even with how scared she felt, looking at him looking at her, created a weird atmosphere between both of them, unknown to her this had calmed her down.


    It was at the moment of his fourth cookie, that her stomach started to rumble making her a bit embarrassed, yet it was as if Silva never heard her, he continued to her fifth one, at that moment she couldn¡¯t help but look downcast only to feel something hit her head and fell down her lap.


    Looking down, she found a cookie on her lap, taking it with her hands, she looked to the boy in front of her puzzled, he never said anything but looked at her with a small smile as he made a gesture for her to eat it.


    Little by little, she put the small cookie on her mouth and bit down on it, filling her mouth with a sweet sensation, unknown to her, her frightened eyes turned to tears, while a hand stroke her head gently, without her realizing, Silva was already in front of her, yet this time she didn¡¯t try to push him away, but hugged him while bursting into silent tears.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Letting her release all her pent up emotions, Silva stood by her side until she finally stopped after drenching his clothes with her tears, taking a deep breath, Silva put his mask back on as he called Blake and the nurses to enter slowly, looking at them, Neo couldn¡¯t help but tremble once more, yet under the words of Silva, she finally calmed down, and let her be examined.


    He stood by her side, the whole time giving her comfort, while introducing Blake to her, thankfully Blake was better than him at taking care of people, as she was able to befriend Neo after she calmed down and let the nurses check her body, it seemed that she finally realized that she was no longer in danger, so he was finally able to leave her after a few hours, after leaving the room, he made a few calls to Ozpin and Ghira.


    He had already decided what to do with her, as he was going to take her too Patch with him, as one of the most important antagonist of the series, he had to make sure to put her on his side, without her Roman wouldn¡¯t be much of a threat in the future.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Inside Ozpin¡¯s office, there were four people having a conversation, they were Ozpin, Glynda, Qrow and Summer. There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere surrounding them as Qrow talked, finally Ozpin couldn¡¯t help but sigh as Qrow finished.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    ¡°It¡¯s no wonder why they did not made much actions after obtaining Atlas leak, they must had received support her support. To turn humans into Grimms, only Salem would think of something like that¡±


    ¡°With this she should probably realize that Silva markings are a completely different than the ones from the Ancient times. This show, Salem will finally begin to grow suspicious¡±


    Hearing Ozpin say that, Qrow couldn¡¯t help but ask ¡°The Ancient times? Did this kind of things existed there?¡± All of them knew Ozpin true identity, so nobody thought anything about Qrow question.


    ¡°Of course, how do you think the Atlas tech started their investigations? I gave them a few basic markings. Yet they were completely different from the one Silva gave them, they could only shine. Different from his, where they create magical effects¡±


    ¡°Completely different from the markings of the past, his are more elaborate and structured, they are able to fit together with the point of time. As they seem to work just like a circuit would, carrying a purpose, even that ancient woman, seems to be shocked about them, for her to let those scientist study her marks¡± Ozpin said as he looked at a few photos on his desk.


    At that moment Summer wanted to say something, but before she could, Ozpin already interrupted ¡°Sadly because of the amount of reincarnations I have gone through, there are a few things that I have forgotten, most of the them related to the forgotten history¡±


    ¡°If I remembered a lot about them, I would had been the first one to give them all, yet there is not many things I remember, and what I did, is already at the hands of Atlas¡± he knew what Summer wanted to say, after all, Salem growing suspicions would mean that Silva, would no longer be out of her sight.


    Ozpin knew that Salem was a highly intellectual individual, and once her suspicions were cleared, she would probably realize that it was not Ozpin, who revealed the power of markings to the world, so she would do everything in her power to find him, and with the ones that were able to escape, it was only a matter of time.


    ¡°Even if is like that, Ozpin, you are putting his life at risk¡± Summer said a little upset ¡°You are giving him too much freedom, you never say anything about the operations he participates in, I understand that you are trying to raise to become a fine huntsman, but letting him see such a cruel world is not good for him¡±


    ¡°What are you getting at? Shot stack, what got you so upset?¡± Qrow asked while looking at her face


    ¡°Is his eyes¡± she said


    ¡°You mean, the fact that he is a silver eyes warrior?¡± asked Ozpin a little confused


    ¡°No that¡¯s not it, Qrow you remember the day I met him? I remember that Silva eyes were still red, just as he had finished crying. When later Tai told me what happened, I knew that even with how talented you guys said Silva was, in the end he was nothing but a child¡±


    ¡°But the other day after seeing him, I was shocked. How could a boy his age show, such detached cold eyes towards someone. The fact that he was not bothered by corpses surrounding him, made it more bizarre¡± Summer said, as she remembered the gaze on his face, the moment she came out the bushes that night.


    ¡°It hasn¡¯t been two years yet, and his gaze is already like that, how could you permit it? He is still a child!¡± She berated Qrow.


    Hearing her everyone could not help but do silence, finally Qrow couldn¡¯t help but sight as he said ¡°He is no ordinary child Summer, stop treating him like one¡±


    ¡°How can you say that Qrow? I thought you were the one who understood him the most¡±


    ¡°Because I do, is that I¡¯m telling you about it, I know him even more than you do, because he is just like me, a man willing to do whatever he can for what he wants¡± Qrow answered back.


    ¡°He is smart enough to understand the world situation, do you know what he told me once?¡± Qrow told them, this time his words gathered the attention of everyone in the room.


    ¡°He told me he wanted to change the world, to create a world where people aren¡¯t drowning in despair, waiting for the time of their deaths in the hands of the Grimm, yet he knew that if he wanted to see that day, there was probably an incredible enemy he had to fight¡±


    At that time Ozpin asked shocked ¡°Qrow did you?¡±


    ¡°Of course no Oz, I wouldn¡¯t tell him anything about Salem, yet you know what he told me when I asked him, why he thought that?¡±


    ¡°He told me that he was not willing to believe that the Grimms where the ones that pushed us to such situation¡±


    After Qrow finished his words, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned and marveled at the fact that Silva had figured many things out.


    ¡°Because of that I believe, that maybe he is the one who understand you the most Oz¡± This time he said that towards Ozpin.


    ¡°Why do you say so?¡± Asked Ozpin somewhat confused, maybe it was the amount of shocks he had received, that didn¡¯t let him think correctly.


    ¡°C¡¯mon Oz, with how intelligent he is, do you think he hasn¡¯t realized that you used him as a bait from the very first time, of why you were so willing to let many Faunus see him that day?, or why you let so many Atlas researcher com to meet him, when his identity was supposed to be a great secret?¡± At that moment, Ozpin eyes seemed to have become to balloons, even Glynda who could infer most of Ozpin thoughts couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked.


    ¡°How?¡± Ozpin asked. ¡°I talk a lot with the Brat, and like I told you he is quite intelligent¡±


    ¡°I believe he is able to tell most of your future plans already, yet he never complains, he never pushes you for explanations. Oz, that brat trust you, he knows that all of what you do is for the best, his only complaint is that you are just too old fashioned¡± Qrow said with a mocking smile on his face, seeing that face on Ozpin is priceless.


    ¡°I only ask you, that before you put him in the spotlight, you tell him all, he has the right to know¡± He said one last time before taking a drink from his flask, and turning to leave the room, even with how loyal he was to Ozpin, he still had some complains inside his heart and he has just vented them all.


    Seeing him leave, Ozpin just smiled wryly and thought ¡°What a frightening little guy¡±


    Taking a look towards the stunned Summer, Ozpin said to her ¡°He is returning towards Patch in a few days, Summer, go with him, I believe it will help you both¡±


    After hearing everything that Qrow had said. Summer was so shocked that she just looked at Ozpin and nodded absentminded, and followed Qrow outside the office.


    Seeing them leave, Ozpin remembered Qrow words, as he thought that maybe his methods were really old fashioned.

 14. - RWBYS: Silver Series

    When Silva was finally returning towards Patch, he realized that Summer had appeared in the Air bus he was to return with, of course he had no problems; it just it shocked him a little as he had the feeling that she had been avoiding him for the past few days.


    In fact Silva was not wrong Summer had done so, after all the shock she received during the mission was quite big, yet after the meeting they had with Ozpin, she and Qrow talked about it, and she decided to stop doing so, and simply accept the fact he was not a normal boy like Qrow said.


    In the end because of her motherly feelings, she felt a bit uncomfortable doing so, but decided to fully show him support. No great thing happened during the travel, other than the fact, that when Summer meet Neo, she nearly cried while hugging her, if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this was an airbus they utilized to transport the silver fang company members, she would had been seen by many because of how loud she was.


    Maybe because of how frank Summer was with her feelings, Neo only needed little time to open up towards Summer, while she took her distance to Qrow, at this point of time Neo was only a year older than Adam, meaning she was about 15 years old, but was only as tall as Silva.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    On Patch time passed quickly, as Silva was submerged in her research, after coming back and seeing the little girls, Silva had a feeling of warmth overcome his body and gave them such a strong hug, which made the two girls pass out, making everyone laugh but Tai.


    Neo quickly adapted to the life on Patch, mostly thanks to Summer, she went to Signal Academy just like Silva had done before, at difference from Silva who already had most of the understanding necessary to simply pass the courses, Neo did not have it, but she had something which made even Silva jealous, she had a photographic memory, that could remember everything, which coupled with her strength which was as high as a second rank huntsman, let her finish her education in a few months, of course all of this was possible with the help of a certain person, which could simply tell the academy to give her the necessary papers.


    The only problem was that she grew quite attached to Silva, and while Ruby did not show too much problem, because of the fact that she was an incredible cookies maker, Yang on the other hand didn¡¯t quite get along with her, they always entered some kind of confrontation that ended in a fight, which made Qrow laugh, but because of her appearance, Yang seemed to become stronger with every battle.


    The good side to all of it, was that because of her appearance, Silva had the time to concentrate on his research, by the end of the first month, he was finally able to complete, his Damocles Fusion Sword, at difference from the original this was a dual edged, using the blacksmithing ability, he reformed every piece of the weapon, augmenting its quality and strength.


    The moment it was completed, the Damocles markings created a single entity, giving it a beautiful silver luster, which shined just like moonlight in a night sky, granting the blade a special power when called upon its name. At that moment he realized something, it was called a master piece because, when the markings and the weapon became one, it gave the weapon itself a powerful ability.


    At that moment it was like something had broken inside him, something called common sense, using his points without a care, he entered a special state of mind, buying and creating new specialized markings in order to replicate the effects he wanted.


    He became so absorbed into the making of weapons, that if it was not for the fact that they looked him for breakfast, he would had been at making new designs for the whole day. And by the end of the second month, many special designs had been created, each of them had an aura marking that replicated a powerful attack from his memory.


    By the end of the third month, two masterpieces had come to life, the first one was a bronze shield with a seven petals flower markings and a special gauntlet, the second one was a black bladed katana with red markings with a red sheath, both the gauntlet and the shield were loaded with an aura cartridge system.


    The moment he finished this two weapons, the notification that he was awaiting the most finally appeared.


    QUEST UPDATE:


    CREATE 3 WEAPON MASTERPIECES (3/3)


    FIRST REWARD: ADVANCED WEAPON CRAFTING CRYSTAL


    SECOND REWARD: 15.000 POINTS


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    As he looked at the two creations in front of him, Silva couldn¡¯t help but smile, the shield was something he made in order to auction in Vale, it was the start of his plan, it would raise the status of the Silver Fang eve further in the eyes of all cities, the second one was a masterpiece he made for Adam, he was one of the most talented young huntsman he knew, he planned to let him utilize it in the next Vytal Festival, during Vale Regional Tournament.


    With the new knowledge he acquired from the advanced weapon crafting crystal, making the weapons would become easier for him. He had already though of a few more weapons he wanted to make, at least six more for the next year, he knew once the footage of the new product came to light, many powerful huntsman families would fight to acquire them, and he already knew what kind of seal he would put in them.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    For the next five months he finished the next weapons he was going to send towards Ghira, as he had already explained part of his plan towards him, he sent them together with Adam, by giving him a special product that, he was finally going to release to the mass, the spatial storage ring.


    Together with the advancement of Atlas tech, they were able to finally create and stable space storage, which caused the whole Atlas researchers to go mad with joy, Silva thought that by giving them the markings it would be easy for them to create a space storage, but he was completely wrong, there were many complications that came with the marking, the first problems was that there was no such thing as space dust, the second one was that it constantly needed a small amount of energy to function, so the researchers had to balance the marking of space storage with the energy gathering mark.


    And this proved to be truly difficult as it created many small explosion inside their labs, but this did not discouraged them, in fact fueled their spirits, making the go frenzy, it was not because General Ironwood himself called Silva, they would have continue to blow up their laboratories.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    After receiving the products, Ghira together with his most trusted subordinates, recorded in an online platform, different videos of the functionality of the equipment, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel amazed, sometimes he thought what he had on his hands was nothing but a magical weapon.


    After he finished making the preparations, he saved the weapons inside the ring, and put them in a highly guarder container, of course this was nothing but a distraction as he carried the true storage device on his body, he did this in order to distract all of the spies other corporations had put in the silver fang.


    Before he could even announce about the future auction of special weapons toward the rest of board members, different companies already knew that there was a highly guarded place inside the industrial company grounds, making them really curious.


    Yet they were to die of curiosity as no matter how much they tried to bribe the board members, no one of the dared to give an answer to their question, it was only four months later they received their answer to their question, when Adam participated as a representative of the Silver Fang Company in the Val Regional Tournament, and they finally saw it, a sword like no other, capable of synchronizing with the power of Adam¡¯s semblance in order cut everything in front of him.


    The moment Adam used the sword in the first round, in a battle royale type of round, with one strike of the blade he defeated the other 49 other contestants, sending a red wave that slashed the entire ring in half, at that moment the entire audience stood still, even the families that watched the tournament stood in silence, the only thing reflected in their eyes was the edge of the sword and the silver wolf emblem at the hilt and a silver S on the sheath.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    After seeing that, the huntsman world boiled, even Ozpin became speechless at the power of the weapon, and had to call Silva to ask about them, even the always composed Ozpin felt his voice shaking as he asked him. But the explanation he received relaxed him a bit, in fact Silva would not release weapons as powerful as the one he gave to Adam, in fact the only reason why it was so powerful, was because it was a specialized weapon, which had the ability to synchronize with Adam¡¯s semblance, just like his Damocles Sword.


    Compared to the other weapon he was going to sell in the auction, it was unique, even among the masterpieces he had made, because it was created especially for someone, nobody else could use it. So it would be pointless to steal it. The other weapons even though had a special marks would not be able to exceed forty percent of Adam weapon performance, but eve this number could give the families a big temptation, that was the reason of the Silver Wolf, it showed it was a weapon he was proud of, compared to the others which only had a silver S.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    The same explanation he gave to Ozpin, Ghira did to the reporters, saying that this weapon would be available during a Silver Fang auction and that he invited all families to join, of course many questions of the maker came during the interview, but Ghira had already prepared, he told the media that it was none other than the mysterious co-owner of the Company.


    Of course the media had already investigated about him, the mysterious co-owner who was the reason of the Silver in the name of the company, but no matter what they did, not even the council could even find something about him, this was because Ozpin and Ghira took charge of blocking any kind of leak, after that he announced that another product would be released to the public, and showcased the new spatial ring.


    By the end of the interview, the media decided to call the weapons, the Silver Series, while the specialized weapons were classified as Silver Wolf Class, and with the footage of the weapons Ghira recorded, they were all over the news, stunning every one, in the end, the Silver Series was all everyone was talking about.


    After that, when the date of the Auction was confirmed, many Families came from the four kingdoms to compete, during the Silver Fang auction, the four Kingdoms council obtained one each, the Nikos Family obtained one, and the last two were taken by other two more families from Mistral.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Just like Silva thought once the weapons were obtained, many different Families contacted the Silver Fang Company, especially the ones in Atlas, there were some council members that tried to gain benefits by promising support towards the Silver Fang Actions, and while it aided their efforts in Mantle, it was not what he was looking for, he needed someone that even though in the surface looked like they were on same level of cooperation, was under his control.


    The other point is that the company finally had enough capital, to expand towards the other two Kingdoms, Silva knew perfectly that even though on the surface it seemed like the power of his world influence was big, compared to the inhabitable land in Remnant it was still way to small, he had asked the system before and even with the thirty percent in Vale, his global influence was nothing but a simple five.


    But for his Company the development was pretty easy by relying in the power of the spatial rings, they had a great effect for them, just like the rest of the world, for huntsman in became helpful as sometime they had to leave in long missions, and by using the rings they had enough space inside to carry a bigger amount of rations, special equipment and Faunus medicine.


    The special equipment referred to things like booby traps, dust crystals, things that they couldn¡¯t take with them before as they had to travel light, while Faunus medicine composed of different products which used both markings and medicine to raise the survival of the hunter, of course it was not like it would immediately cure them, yet they had an incredible effect stabilizing internal injuries, recovering strength and patching wounds.


    For Silva time continued to move quickly as he lived in Patch for 6 more months until the end of the year, right after Yang twelve birthday and Ruby tenth birthday, for him the celebration of his birthday was a month before the day he saved Summer, which was even earlier than Yang. Neo¡¯s birthday was the same day they rescued her, during that day he heard an unexpected voice.

 15. - RWBYS: Winter Schnee

    HIDDEN QUEST:


    GRANTING A NEW LIFE: (COMPLETED)


    REWARDS: AURA REFINEMENT CRYSTAL


    It was none other than the system, because how focused he was during his weapon making sometimes he even forgot about its existence, he had completed a new hidden quest, at difference of the other two types of quest, hidden quests appear only when they are completed, which really sucked for Silva, as only hidden quests granted him aura and body strengthening items.


    It was only at that day, he confirmed that there were maybe special conditions to be met, it had to affect the person intimately for it to work, that¡¯s why rescuing Qrow was considered a hidden quest as it involved his personal feelings, the reason why the date of her rescue was her birthday, is because after all of the experimenting, many things they did messed up her mind.


    It was only after seeing so emotional during the time she blew the candles, that Silva thought that maybe at this point she had finally put her past behind, just like in the series Neo showed the qualities of a strong woman, yet inside that she was truly emotional, that¡¯s why the best way to get to her was nothing but the Xiao Long-Rose Family, they were just too good at reaching into others, and it was that attitude itself that healed his worn heart, if in the past he did everything for the system, right now he did it all for them, yet now his break at Patch had finally come to an end, it was finally time to put his plans in march.


    During the day he was going to return to Vale, he couldn¡¯t help but sight at the gloomy faces of the two girls, for some reason Ruby seemed more upset by the fact Neo was leaving than he, while Yang seemed upset by the fact that Neo was leaving with him.


    The relationship of the two was pretty good actually, as they shared a lot of similarities, yet whenever it came to him, they would become just like fire and water, and he had to admit it was pretty funny seeing the wat the silent Neo and the raging Yang fought, it was as if both of them could communicate using only their eyes.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a deep breath while sitting at his office on the Company, Silva already communicated his plans toward the Ghira and the rest of the board members which were conformed of the Faunus leaders, and while some still had some troubles accepting that the target was the SDC, trusted fully in Silva judgement, even Sienna the one who Silva though was going to complain, just nodded at his decision.


    Finally using their closest subordinates, the board members made use of bonuses and raises, in order to dispel any problem the normal members may have, seeing this, Silva couldn¡¯t help but smiled at their support, he had made a great decision at choosing his partners, the only problem he had was that a group of racial extremists were making a rise in the kingdom underworld, yet as they had not made any move against them, he could only watch them, while making preparations of his own.


    Deciding to put that to the side, he took out his scroll and sent a text towards General Ironwood, he already knew what he planned, after all, he thought of him as a trustworthy person, and made a few propositions in order to bring both of them benefits, so it was finally time for him to do his part.


    Inside Atlas Tower, in General Ironwood Headmaster¡¯s Office, James looked at his scroll, upon receiving the message of Silva, for him the child was nothing but a miracle of mankind, even though in all this years he had not meet him personally, he had considered him already one of his most trusted allies, he had brought with his appearance a technological revolution, and had helped him control the undercurrents of the Kingdom.


    Even now the text he received had brought him much hope, after all, for him the SDC were not only one of his biggest support, but one of his biggest headaches, and after hearing Silva plan he had to admit, that only the boy was able to pull that off.


    Because of that reason he had let SDC join more projects, and had taken the liberty of handpick Jacques¡¯s oldest daughter as one of his closest assistants, as he knew the only reason why Jacques let it be, was that only with the power aura markings technology, he was to grow the SDC, and only he controlled the project, so this was an opportunity to control them, while the SDC gained as many benefits as they wanted.


    But thinking that everything depended of a boy, he couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, sometimes he thought how lucky their encounter was, as he had to admit with all the bad luck that man has, he was still lucky. Taking a deep breath he made a call towards one of the Academy teachers and asked him to send her.


    After waiting for some time the doors of the elevator opened, and beautiful girl entered the office, she walked proudly as she moved closer towards his desk, her head elevated while her hands were behind her back, she wore the standard Atlas uniform, her white hair was tied into a bun to the back of her head, her eyes were cold and proud.


    Once she got close enough to his desk, she immediately adopted the military salute as she gazed towards James, she said ¡°General Ironwood, Sir¡±


    ¡°Relax Schnee! Take a seat¡± James replied towards the girl as he pointed at the chair in front of him, she was none other than Winter Schnee, the oldest daughter of the Schnee Family.


    Doing as told, she immediately took a seat while maintaining eye contact with James, the way of she moved was elegant, typical of an upper class family, looking at her James couldn¡¯t help but mentally sigh, even as a student her attitude was what you called an exemplary soldier.Did you know this story is from Royal Road?

    Seeing her in front of him, James nodded and said to her ¡°Winter, I called you here, because I need you to make a trip to Vale for me¡±


    ¡°Vale? Sir¡± she asked, hearing him call her by her name, meant that he was not talking to her using his status.


    ¡°Yeah, I need you to bring something to an acquaintance of mine, maybe it will an opportunity for you to upgrade your blade¡± he said while using his tone to indicate something subtlety.


    ¡°Upgrade? Care to explain, Sir?¡±


    ¡°I cannot give you much information Winter, but I would recommend you taking the designs of your sword with you¡± Hearing that, Winter couldn¡¯t help but tremble, she could understand many things for that single sentence.


    ¡°You may return Schnee, you will be leaving tomorrow morning, don¡¯t waste this opportunity¡± he said ending the conversation.


    Taking a deep breath she quickly saluted as she moved towards the exit of the room, there were many thoughts crossing her mind at the moment, that night she sent a text towards a member of her family using her scroll, the next day she quickly departed.

    During the time Silva waited for Winter to reach Vale, he gave Ghira the third batch of Silver Series Weapons, while he gave both Blake and Neo specialized weapons, modifying Gambol Shroud and creating a beautiful umbrella.


    Many things still maintained their similarities to the Series, Blake was still the same book addict and Neo proved herself to be the perfect support, as ever since she returned to Vale with him, she had become Silva¡¯s secretary, because of her, he didn¡¯t wasted time reading miscellaneous papers, he could just give her the instructions and the past mountains of papers transformed into a few.


    In the past Blake used to help him with it, yet because of her love for books, she really didn¡¯t do a great job, while Adam simply wasn¡¯t suited for this kind of things, while Neo was simply born for it, now he truly understood why Roman Torchwick could be a free spirited as he was.


    Talking about him, his name still didn¡¯t resounded in the streets of Vale as they did in the past, he had tried to find information about him, but he hasn¡¯t been able to find anything at all, not only him he had tried investigation the rest of Cinder Faction but for some reason his attempts proved to be futile.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Taking a deep breath Winter reached the Silver Company Hangars, from inside the Aircraft she looked at the place her aircraft was parking, she couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. She had done her research of the Company, and she knew that the company itself was less than seven years old.


    She knew that the actual situation of the Schnee Dust Company was all related to this place, from their complications to their actual success, even though her family company had some difficulties because of the aura markings, this were completely overturned the moment they gained access to them.


    Many things changed that day, the company was able to lower the cost of productions and augment the purity and quantity the dust they obtained, and while this forced her father to leave behind some of his business partners, the amount they exported and the applications of the technology they gained made up for the loss.


    In fact, she was full of mix feelings in this place, while she resented them a bit, for some hard times they caused her, she was thankful that they were able to change the direction her family company was moving to, in fact she was full of admiration towards the man that made this possible, after all with the status of her family, General Ironwood provided them with some secret information about him.


    She knew that everything was thanks to one person, that person gave almost everything that Atlas Technology now researched, and most the advancements in aura technology were thanks to him, he was not but the mysterious so-owner of the company, the man whose weapons could make everyone lust for them, the Silver Class Weapons.


    And right now she was to meet that same person, she was an intelligent woman, so she realized that this meeting represented more than meet the eyes, there was a reason why she of all the General subordinates was tasked to come here, but knowing the General he wouldn¡¯t do something to harm her.


    Finally the aircraft had finished parking and she got up her seat to escort the package she was tasked with, as the cargo doors opened, she was finally able to take a better look at the place, she moved while behind her two soldiers followed behind her.


    Around her she saw different masked individuals, she knew who they were, the silver claw force, special members that could only be leaded by the top members of the enterprise, and elite team conformed from elite Faunus and Human Huntsmen, yet, out of them, two people gained her attention instantly.


    A red haired man wearing a long sleeved black suit with red designs with tow horns on his head, he carried a sheathed sword, the other one was a woman with three different hair colors, heterochromatic eyes and a tricolored outfit of the same color of her hair, on her hand a stylish pink umbrella.


    What grabbed her attention was the were the silver wolf emblem in them, of course he recognized the man, he was the first carrier of the Silver Wolf Class, the first personalized weapon the mysterious owner made, yet, she couldn¡¯t recognized the girl, but the fact that her umbrella hasn¡¯t appeared in any of the past two auctions, meant it was completely made for her.


    What this meant was simple, she was someone who knew the mysterious maker, and for him to do such a simple design for her meant, that she was quite close to him, and looking of how everyone was standing behind her, including the red haired man, meant that she was occupied an important position on the Company, this surprised her as she thought she already knew every one of the top figures.


    Taking a deep breath she moved to introduce herself to the girl, offering her hand while saying ¡°I¡¯m Winter Schnee, I come with orders of Sir General Ironwood. It¡¯s nice to make your acquaintance¡±


    Seeing that the girl made an exaggerated welcoming gesture and offered her hand in handshake, yet she never spoke a word causing her to be confused, right when she was about to say something a voice interrupted her.


    ¡°Miss Schnee, she is Neo, the Boss¡¯s secretary¡±


    ¡°I apologize in her behalf, but she is incapable of talking¡± the one who spoke was no one but Adam, he had already done this a few times.


    The moment she heard that, Winter was surprised as she saw a small trace of apology on her Neo¡¯s eyes, seeing the awkward situation by changing the conversation.


    ¡°I understand, I been tasked by the General to bring something towards a special someone, I was not given a name, so I hope you give the directions¡± She said towards Neo.


    As an answer Neo nodded and made a follow me gesture, as she walked away, seeing that Winter immediately followed after, and behind her the two soldiers did the same too, while the other members of the aircraft unloaded other things brought here from Atlas technology, while an unmasked Faunus took care of the situation.

 16. - RWBYS: Stunned Winter

    Following after, Winter saw the two people guiding her, both of them were a little bit younger than her, yet exuded an atmosphere not weaker, she had seen the man before, as she too watched the Vale Tournament Clip recorded, as huntsman she knew the boy had already the strength of a second rank Huntsman, and while the girl strength was unknown, her momentum was the same.


    As she followed she couldn¡¯t help but look around the place, and she noticed that as they walked the amount of the security personnel reduced, their strength raised, by the time they reached a building she had seen a few professional huntsman.


    At the moment they were to enter the building the man turned back and said towards her ¡°My apologies, but this is as far as they can reach¡±, he said while pointing towards the two soldiers, nodding she told them to wait for her, as she continued following them.


    Entering an elevator, Neo used the control panel to write a sequence, and the panel opened showing a black screen, Winter realized what it was, as she saw Neo put her hand on a down part of the screen and her identity was displayed in the other upper part of the screen.


    Once she was done, she made a few gestures towards Winter, indicating her to hold onto the sides of the elevator, at that moment the elevator they were in, dropped slowly for a bit, before moving horizontally for some time, causing little discomfort as her balance was shaken a few times, finally the other side of the elevator opened, and she followed them out.


    In front of her, was a room with closed silver doors, Neo moved first, opening the doors and making a gesture to Winter asking her to come inside.


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Entering the room Winter couldn¡¯t help but feel marveled to the inside, it was quite big in size and there many different things inside it, yet the room was really organized, looking like a mixture of a laboratory and an office, at the right side of the room, there were many different types of mechanical and designing equipment while in a stand there were many different weapons being showcased.


    The moment Winter saw them she couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised, they were what the media classified as the Silver Class Weaponry, she recognized immediately as all of the carried an special feeling to them, apart from their elegant appearance.


    The other side of the room, looked like a normal office would, there was a stunning desk and chair, and on top of it a portable model of computer was located, together with a scroll. At that moment Winter heard a sigh coming from the side, looking at the direction, it was none other than Neo that sighed as she held her head with her hand.


    Seeing this Winter couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned, suddenly Neo moved in the laboratory side of the room, as if looking for someone. Finally she spotted her direction and moved to a faraway model of motorcycle, and she stopped right in front of it, while looking downwards.


    Seeing her Winter couldn¡¯t help her curiosity and moved a little to unblock her sight from other equipment, and she finally saw what Neo was looking at, as a pair of legs came from below the bike, what surprised her were the size of them, as she could tell, they belonged to someone just a bit taller than Neo, and she was quite short even for a girl.


    Finally she saw Neo couldn¡¯t wait any longer and used her umbrella to poke the legs, and from within an even younger boy came from below, he was using some earphones, and looked questioning at Neo as he took his earpieces from his ears.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Neo?¡± to his question, Neo pointed towards her in answer.


    Seeing he gesture the boy, moved her sight towards her, and Winter was finally was able to see his face better, and she had to admit the boy was quite charming, tanned yet healthy skin, well defined features, and a pure silver colored eyes and hair.


    The moment the boy saw her, he had a surprised expression on his face, but didn¡¯t lose composure, he simply smiled towards her, and talked in a lower voice to Neo, to his action Neo simply took out her scroll and showed him the time.


    Giving Neo a wry smile, he stood up from where he was and moved towards Winter, giving her a smile he said towards her ¡°Hello! It¡¯s nice meeting you, Miss Schnee¡±, taking his right glove off, he offered her his hand.


    At that moment Winter couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned, she had realized many things from Neo interaction with him, as a matter of fact, the boy couldn¡¯t had been in this place if he wasn¡¯t someone important, and the fact that he was manipulating equipment in this place, could only mean a few things.


    She was so shocked that, her brain seemed to lose its functionality, as she took his and asked ¡°Excuse me, are you by any chance?¡±


    Seeing her Silva couldn¡¯t help but smile and say back ¡°From your reaction, it seems the General has maintained quite a few things well hidden, that¡¯s great¡±


    ¡°Well Miss Schnee, my name is Silva Branwen, and I¡¯m the Silver Fang Company, Mysterious Co-Owner¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Hearing him say that, it took some time before Winter was able to come back to herself, she was truly appalled, her mind completely went white as she thought of the past years, this meant the boy in front of him that looked to be the same age of her little sister, was in fact the one that started everything.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    After coming back to herself, she looked around to find Silva as she didn¡¯t saw in front of him anymore, and found seated in his desk as he drank a cup of hot cocoa, while both Adam and Neo stood by his sides, she appeared quite mortified as It was the first time she had shown such embarrassing demeanor, so she tried fixing her appearance while walking towards him, only to see a small smile on his face, making her feel more embarrassed.


    ¡°I beg your forgiveness, I had shown such an embarrassing side of myself¡± she apologized as she lightly coughed.


    Moving his hand in front of her, he answered back ¡°There is no problem at all, you were only out for less than a minute, there is been way worst, you handled it the best so far¡±


    Hearing him, she could not help but feel a little better and said while sitting on the chair in front of him ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Yeah for example, there was this one council member that stood while muttering for at least a few hours, I was so worried I had to call Beacon¡¯s Headmaster, after all, it was his fault¡±


    ¡°His fault?¡± asked Winter once more.


    ¡°Well, the reason why we had been able to grow so fast, it¡¯s because his support, after the Company grew the one who received more benefits was no one but Beacon itself, yet because of the Headmaster responsibilities, there is some things that would take too much of his time if he were to take care of them directly¡± Silva explained seeing she nod he continued.


    ¡°For example, planted spies. After all there is many companies that wish to obtain information about me, and inside the Silver Fang, I don¡¯t truly hide my existence, so how is possible that my appearance hasn¡¯t been leaked yet?¡±


    At that moment Winter completely understood what he meant, for companies it was normal to have many spies planted in other companies, even her family company did that.


    ¡°So I imagine, that man should had a big influence on Vale¡¯s Economic Power to be able to deter other companies¡± Said Winter conclusion.


    ¡°Just as you say, of course there is other powers that still don¡¯t understand, but I don¡¯t have to worry about them, after all, I have trusty assistants¡± Silva said while looking towards his sides, seeing both Adam and Neo, both of them nodded back.


    Looking at them, Winter couldn¡¯t help but nod at him, during the small time they had talked, she found him to be not only pleasing to the eye, but incredible smart, before she could say Silva interrupted her by saying.


    ¡°Before we continue, I want to offer you an apology¡± His words stunned Winter as she tilted her head confused.


    ¡°Well I guess this guy by my side, wouldn¡¯t have introduced himself to you, right?¡± Hearing him, Winter nodded back, in fact even though she didn¡¯t say anything about it, she actually felt he was quite rude for not doing so, even though she knew who he was, after all he was the beginning of the Silver Series.


    ¡°His name is Adam Taurus, but you must have known him, he a great friend of mine, the only problem is he is quite resentful, so I beg your pardon¡± Silva said towards Winter, seeing that Adam couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit ashamed of himself.


    ¡°I understand, there is no problem, but I have a question¡± Winter said back


    ¡°Oh! Do tell me please¡±


    ¡°About your name, by any chance are you related to the Branwen siblings?¡± Said Winter, appearing a little excited.


    This question caused a small laugh to be heard from Silva, stunning Winter, seeing her amazed by his sudden outburst he said ¡°Sorry about that, it¡¯s just you are the first person to ever ask me that question on the first meeting, as most of them find out after¡±


    ¡°And yeah you could say, after all Qrow is considered to be my guardian, but that¡¯s a long story you can look out by yourself later on¡±


    ¡°I understand¡± Responded Winter, the only thing he wanted was his confirmation.


    ¡°Now Miss Schnee, let¡¯s start with what you came here for¡±


    _____________________________________________________________________________________


    Hearing him Winter nodded and raised her hand showing a spatial ring, this was one provided to her by General Ironwood, and she had to admit she was quite satisfied about them, even her Father had bought a ton of them, in order to help with the dust crystal transportation.


    From within she took a small box and gave it too Silva, reaching the box he immediately opened it and took out a round crystal dust the size of a fist, seeing it, Winter couldn¡¯t help being stunned by the amount of markings shown on the surface, there were so many she got completely dazed by looking at them.


    ¡°Want to know what it is?¡± Silva asked her, hearing him Winter unconsciously nodded.


    ¡°This is the latest model of continuous energy generation¡± He answered stunning her ¡°At difference from the past generators which by being marked constantly absorbed energy from its surroundings, this little thing here, it¡¯s made to work together with the past generators that utilized lighting dust¡±


    ¡°It has such a big amount of pure concentrated natural energy inside it, making the insides look like liquid¡± he said shocking Winter.


    ¡°You can¡¯t see it because of the transparency of the liquid, but the moment you dye it with an elemental energy or aura, the liquid becomes visible. We call it Ether Crystal¡±


    ¡°While is not easy to make, its full advantages, the fact that it can work with the past generators it¡¯s an incredible fact, after you can¡¯t just replace every generator in Atlas¡±


    ¡°But the greatest benefit, it is small size and strength, which can augment the potency of military artillery. In the past, even though Dust was utilized in huntsman weapons, it wasn¡¯t used in military artillery as it was still considered a luxury, but now things are no longer the same¡± Hearing him, moment many thoughts crossed Winter¡¯s mind, as why she was receiving this information.


    Finally she couldn¡¯t help but ask ¡°I understand, after all, I seen how the General is expanding and upgrading the military arsenal of both Atlesian soldiers and knights, but what are you trying to achieve with this?¡±


    Seeing her Silva nodded and from his desk, he took out a tablet size scroll and gave it to Winter, he had confirmed his thoughts about her, she was a smart woman, who even at this point of time could see the bigger picture and was loyal to the General, it was no wonder that even with the situation of the SDC, the General still chose to give her some authority in the military as special operative.


    After seeing her take the scroll and surf through it, Silva simply remained in silence as he watched her expression change, from surprise to doubt to sudden realization, finally her expression was a mix of them, and after some time she finally talked.


    ¡°This is?¡±


    Seeing her, Silva answered confidently.


    ¡°This is the future direction, which Atlas Military and the Silver Fang wants to go, and at the same time is a business offer for the SDC¡±


    ¡°Yet you must understand why, the one in front of me right now, is not your father but you Miss Schnee¡± After saying those words Silva simply stayed silent as he let Winter think about his words thoroughly.
