RANMA'S ASSESSMENT Location the RWBYverse, Remnant-Vale, Beacon Academy: Lawn Area
Couple days later. Yang has fully recovered, and during that time, Ranma started training these teens in basic fitness. Since huntsmen are too dependent on aura, that once broken they'd become punching bags, and unable to properly fight. Since some semblances which in turn meant, those huntsmen's fighting style was gone. Cause some semblances need aura to function, some depend on emotions, and so on. At a time of desperation, majorities of huntsmen are screwed. Hence why Ranma was improving their physical abilities, before teaching them about Touki, and better ways to fight under pressure. Once these teens are at a passable level, Ranma, he plans to call Sona, Kyoko, Kneesocks, Zombina, Cerberus, Laharl, along with his sister Ranko over to help him better train the main cast of RWBY. He did provide some criticism and advice on how they can improve. Blake, she was close to starting touki and quite possibly beast-ki training. Weiss was in second place, sorta well rounded with her Glyphs and dust elemental attack, but aside that she needs to upgrade her summoning list, aside her Arma Gigas, and Nevermore, she'd needed other summons to spread out her options. Along with improving her speed, as her agility and reflexes were good. Making the Schnee heiress, smugged about Ranma's assessment, with Blake feeling the same, as her. Ren along with Ruby Rose have the same weakness. Their too dependent on their weapons. Weiss and Blake thank to his previous training, is quite capable of fighting without her Gambol Shroud, as Kyoko showed her true ninjutsu, using her cloning semblance, more offensive and stealth like, instead of a escape technique.
He started by suggesting that Ren, he study other forms of martial arts, to compliment his Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Dou hybridization. Along with getting a upgrade for his smgs, to deal out more damage. Ren, he thought of Ranma's suggestion, and saw no flaw in it. Thanking the young martial artist devil, for the advice. Ranma nodded, liking Ren's chill and calm personality. He might be a good addition to his future peerage. Now he'd turn to the nervous Rubes, holding her folded Cresent Rose, tightly in her arms. Cause after hearing that she was too dependent on her weapon. She'd gasped, and feared that Ranma might take away her baby, as tears threatened to fall from her big, anime, puppy-dog eyes. Ranma sighed, saying to her, that he'd never plan on taking her weapon from her. Only teach her eventually to combine non-armed combat techniques into her arsenal. He'd explained she was basically, a super glass cannon. Capable to deal serious damage, and flash around in such speed that few could match or catch her...as long as she has aura, and Cresent Rose ready. Saying those word struck a cord in her mind, as her dad would always say stuff like this, but after seeing what Ranma can do in a fight. And having clear, unbiased assessments on each of them, Rubes was speechless. So she wiped away her tears, and asked him, "Soo...what do you think I should do, then?"
Making Ranma smile, as Ruby Rose was starting to understand, and was being trained better. And earlier than the Fall of Beacon Saga. He told Rubes, that thank to her speed, and aura enhanced strength, she can handle Cresent Rose's weight, and recoil from her rifle. So with a quick, nearly invisible and fast punch, he'd shattered her aura, and said, "Pick up your scythe now." Rubes tried but...immediately felt the entire weight of her weapon, being impossible to lift. And Ranma casually walked up, beside her. With his right hand, in a nokite form, aimed at her throat. Seeing this Rubes knew, she'd lost, as Ranma said with a smile, "See. This is a weakness many huntsmen have. Over reliance over weapon, and aura boosts." removing his knife hand from Rubes neck. He started to give Rubes, suggestions on increasing her durability. Cause even with aura, once broken one final blow, she'll be taken down. Another thing is to learn some martial arts, to add her another option in battle, and better combat style for her scythe, he even said, "I have a friend, that can greatly help you, improve you're scythe handling." This made Ruby Rose, very excited and promised that she'll take her upcoming training, seriously. Nodding to her devotion of self-improvement. Now Ranma set his sight on Pyrrah. Who was a bit nervous, and bashful at his sight. Ranma, said that while Pyrrah is the most well-rounded of the bunch, with a extremely complimentary semblance of Polerity, that was also her biggest weakness. She was soo focus on controlling the flow of battle, that if she'd encountered a opponent like Ranma, that didn't rely on weapon or armor, she's screwed. Which regretfully was completely true. Perfect example was her epic final fight in the series, against Cinder Fall.
The he'd added, if the devils make full alliances with the other kingdoms. Grimm might dissappear. Making all the hunters, gathered and a certain crow spying on them, shock. Cause this is high possibility of happening, Ranma, stated that huntsmen must then become peacekeepers and guards for the kingdom, over exterminators. Which in turn meant that their main targets, won't be monsters but bandits, criminals, and rogue huntsmen. He confessed part of the training he'll teach them all, is how to face more human type opponents. Plus he also stated that Pyrrah, needs more strength both in body and power. Asking Nora to borrow her hammer, and the hyper orange-haired responded, "Ohh...um sure." handing her grenade launcher-warhammer, Magnhild to Ranma. Now in his hand, he told Pyrrah to use her semblance to move, even slightly the hammer on his hand. Pyrrah, she nodded and did as she was ask to. Stretching out her right arm, and activating her semblance, focusing her magnetic power onto Ranma's borrowed hammer. But it didn't budge a inch, in Ranma's hand, as Pyrrah strained and focused more of her aura into her semblance. As Ranma stated, that if someone was much stronger than her power's, then they can resist it and...with a superfast swing of the hammer, but stopping just before coming into contact, with her face. Scaring Pyrrah as she'd tripped onto the grassy lawn, as he'd explained that a nekomata child could do this with ease. In this new age, that is coming fast. It wasn't about aura and good gear, but good training and physical condition to fight. This pumped Yang and Nora as she'd retrieved her Magnhild, and started their basic fitness training...
TEAM H.U.N.T.E.R. MEETS THE DEVILS Location Beacon Academy: Combat Arena
Three weeks later. In the academy, combat training arena. Team H.U.N.T.E.R were being trained, not just by Ranma but other devils as well. Sona the glasses wearing short-haired girl. She along with gray skin, purple haired, bluish cloaked girl, Raven. They were using their magic to suppress the teen humans aura, so all training would focus and improve their physical capabilities, and also expand their auras once the supression is removed. The training was intense, Qrow, Ozpin, and Glynda watched and were amazed not only at the level these teenage devils could act on, but also teach. In a few weeks, already Ruby Rose and the others were drastically improving, and were capable a much more than before. And as Qrow told Ozpin and Glynda, if these negotiations become successful in the upcoming Vytal Festival. While Salem might still be a problem, the Grimm populace will drastically diminish, may even be forced exclusively to Land of Darkness. A time of true peace and safety for all was just in the horizon, and like Ranma stated some weeks ago. Huntsmen will have to adapt to the changing tide. No only monster hunters, but defenders, peacekeepers, and bounty hunters of criminal and...as grim it may sound, also rogue huntsmen. So they encourage Ranma, and these other devils teaching of their new expanded special team. Qrow after taking a swing of his cantine, and grunting as the hard liquor, went down his throat. He commented that he'd might have to train again, in order to keep up with the next generation. Glynda scoffed, as she'd said, "First fix you're drinking problem, and maybe you'll have hope for the future." Ozpin chuckled, at their interactions. Taking a sip of his coffee and watching the devils and young huntsmen-in-training interact and bond.
From those that Ranma called over to help him, train the main cast. There was the newest pawn of the Bael Peerage, Zombina, who freaked them out the first time they'd meet the former zombie, devil girl. Cause of her stitches and slightly patchwork skin. Which made her laugh at their fright. She'd with train either in physical training, and extreme gun kata training. Tsubaki the long black haired glasses wearing devil, and the red-skinned, light blue haired, horn devil, Kneesocks were training both Pyrrah and Ruby Rose which are polearm users. Ranko, Cerberus, and Ranma himself were teaching some hand-to-hand styles and techniques to Yang and Ren. Yang taking in kick boxing and may thai like a fish to water, while Ren was leading Kung Fu and Shaoling Fist that best suited him. Weiss was taking mentoring from Tomoe the dark pink haired knight of Sitri, with Ruby Riotte, Nero, Murayama, and Katase would spar with the Schnee heiress. Getting her used to facing opponent with various sword styles, and even going with her into Emerald Forest, to search for useful Grimm for her to add to her summoning list. Her latest acquisition a Ursa Major, a huge alpha bear grimm, adding a tank to her summons. Weiss even became quick friends with Tomoe her cheery but respectful personality, was easy for Weiss to approach and bond with.
Nora...she got Morrigan and Caulifla as her mentor. Both liking her nearly sadist tendencies to break someone's legs. And crushing people, while still being a cheery and free-spirited girl. Aside them helping her, being a better fighter, Morrigan, she'd decided to help the girl in her romance life as well. At first she'd, denied and exclaimed that she and Renny were only friends. But a little Aensland persuasion, Nora came around to accepting Morrigan's help. Quite a funny sight, for everyone there except Ren, who was acting like a clueless, harem or romantic comedy male lead. Oblivious of a girl's feeling for him... Blake once again was being mentored by Kodachi and Kyoko. Improving leaps and bunds, that Kodachi felt she was ready to truly start Touki training, under Ranma and Ranko supervision. That's how things progressed in the training side, on their free days, not only those devils, but the rest. Shampoo, Ukyo, Kaori, Tsubasa, Laharl, Daki, Mizore, Momo, Reya, Setsuna, Ruruko, and Albedo would come over to hang and help Ranma. Allowing all the devils to become friends with the main cast of RWBY. When Laharl appeared, Weiss, she'd rushed over and hugged the young Bael branch heir tightly. Sona and his girls gave him a knowing look. Seems a certain ice princess, like a demonic Dark King. Regardless, they'd chat, spar, or even hang around Beacon or Vale. And during one of this visits, as the huge group ate in the Cafeteria mess hall. The asshole, Cardin, was bullying the sweet bunny girl of RWBY. Velvet Scarlatina. Velvet has long, brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a pair of brown rabbit ears, identifying her as a faunus. Wearing a cropped brown jacket with a thin gold zipper and her emblem on the right of the chest, over a thin black top and super tight brown spandex compression shorts that reach her upper thighs with decorated metal trim alongside black tights with golden metal flats. Accenting her outfit are a pair of gold spaulders, cuffs, a belt, that have decorative patterns. The box containing her weapon attaches to the belt. A upperclassmen, and a literal marshmallow of a person, as Cardin was about to pull her bunny ears again, Laharl stepped fort, grabbing his arm and...crushing it. A sick crack of both bone and armor was heard allover the cafeteria!! As Cardin, he was about to scream Laharl chuved a dark energy ball into his chestplate, his Dark Bolt point-blank, blasting Cardin away and destroy his armor and chest. Barely alive...Laharl, he glared at Cardin's henchmen, and said, "Let me make this clear... I see or hear from any faunus, in this Academy, you doing this crap again... I'll make you'll wish, a Grimm tore you apart, after I'm done with you..." saying this in a low, menacing, and threatening tone. With his demonic power, slightly emanating from his body.
Laharl, watched as the background villains of the first volumes of RWBY, scampered away. Grabbing Cardin by the arms and dragging him away. He stopped releasing his power, put a smile on his face, and offered a hand to Velvet. Offering her a seat, with his friends and girls, for lunch. She'd thanked him, and went over to join the rest of the huge group. Meanwhile, all his girls, Sona included felt very, very hot and bothered, few times they'd seen Laharl soo forceful, dominant, and mad... They thought it was soo hot!! It was clear, that he was getting some later, and he knew it. As he'd ate a burger, with a smirk in his face.
