Jack Schnee [RWBY]

Chapter 24 - Is he dead or alive?

We arrive at the family in question and a middle aged lady greeted us at the door. We told her that we were here to ask about her recent company. She nodded and let us inside her house. Inside I saw a couple children in the living room watching t.v., the oldest looks no older than ten years old. I looked around the house to see items tossed around, broken furniture, and holes in the wall. We ask her about her husband and she tells us that he recently appeared as if nothing ever happened. She explained to us that like before whenever he was around he would yell and ruin the house because something didn't go his way. Since he came back, all he's been talking about is how he wants revenge against the person who killed him. He says that maybe by coming back and treating us poorly would the culprit face him again. The woman looked deeply saddened that she has to go through this again. She starts crying knowing that the person that had once saved them might never come back again. We can stay here for now, but if he comes back when were not around, then there is nothing we can do.

They send me to go take care of a horde of Grimm. Isn't there anyone else that can do it? I mean I just got back from my last mission and that wasn't a pretty sight to see. Not only that, there seem to be some kids there as well. Give me a break, I don't get paid enough to babysit. Most people blame my semblance for my disposition of thing, but anyone would be like me if they had to struggle day after day to get by. You may ask what about all the help I receive from people, but more people are quick to point fingers than to actually help when your in need. Even though I say all these things, I'm still going to help this city, its just so annoying that I have to put up with this nonsense. Hopefully, the kids that are already there don't screw up too badly before I arrive.

These children have some bruises on their bodies. It's hard to notice but every time they move, I can see more and more of the hidden wounds on their bodies. Jack seems to be paying more attention to the crying mother while I have been looking over these children. I try my best to clean up the house with my semblance, but some of the damage can't be fixed even with my semblance. It was then that we heard a knock at the door, thinking that it was the husband everybody tensed up. Jaune opened the door only to find that it was Arnold who came inside. I found it strange as to why Arnold would come here knowing that a dangerous man was here. He also seemed to be wearing a long sleeved shirt and jeans as opposed to his shorts from before. Prryha noticing the tense atmosphere offers to take him home and Prryha leaves with the child before any other company comes knocking at the door. There was something strange I noticed though. Arnold seemed to be staring at Jack with a slightly worried look on his face. Why was he worried? He should have known how strong Jack is. Maybe he's just worried because he hasn't seen Jack fight against other people before. I know from experience that Jack can handle himself just fine. I'm more concerned about the horde of Grimm heading our way. Hopefully, well be able to handle it.

20 minutes later...

All of us are outside the town looking straight at the charging Grimm. Everyone's in position to fight this horde even though our help still hasn't arrived yet. I don't hold anything back myself by summoning my own mini army consisting of Bagels, a boar Grimm, the Nevermore, and more. It takes up a chunk of my aura, but I can replenish it pretty quickly. We all charge in to face the horde. I turn the dial on Light to a green dust and sent slashes of wind at the enemy Grimm and use it to make swinging my sword faster than usual. I look over to see Prryha expertly killing Grimm after Grimm with her spear techniques. Jaune looks like he having some trouble, but Bagels seems to be helping him out. I didn't order him to do that either. Has Bagels taken a liking to Jaune for some reason? While I wasn't paying attention, a Nevermore seems to targeting me. It dives down and tries to scratch me with its claws. I turn the dial on Light to the red dust, jump up, and slash its head off. These Grimm are child-play for me so might as well get rid of bunch of them. One-Sword Style Continuous Fatal Strike. I use my aura to increase my speed and senses to unleash strike after strike at an insane speed to kill the Grimm facing me. One after another no matter what kind of Grimm they are fall to my speedy blade. After killing an excessive amount of Grimm, I look over to see what I think is the professional huntsman helping out Kim. He's an older man with a scar over one of his eyes. I look over at the Grimm they're facing and all of them seem sluggish for some reason. I'm guessing that the man's semblance is whats causing it, but something seems off about that man. I can't quite explain it, but he seems out of place. As I was about to go back to killing Grimm, I see a middle-aged man with a short beard and long blue hair fighting against the Grimm. What's he doing here?
