Nier Chapter 93 Commissioned by Wrath of Vajra
🕑 Added 2023-02-15 03:01:59 +0000 UTCApparently screaming into Jeanne's fantastic chest earned me no favors though she wasn't exactly mad but more amused as she knew that the androids were talking about weird crap I didn't exactly believe in.
"Anyway, let's get going back to Beacon with the satellites, foundry, and mining bots now in orbit. It's just a waiting game for the bots to finish building the space station and amass the resources to make higher grade munitions." I said tiredly as we climbed into the modified flight units that would take us back home to Beacon.
As I sat down on one of the many seats and strapped myself in, the seats beside me were instantly taken Jeanne and Weiss with Ruby pouting in heart rending sadness.
"Jaaaake!" She all but whined pitifully as her gleaming eyes filled with threatening unshed tears to be spilt with her especially pouting stuck out lip as she blubbered. "I wanted to ask you more questions about the laser weapons and the bigger weapons your androids are going mount on the moon!" She cried out as she gave Weiss and Jeanne a dirty look.
But Weiss just snapped her finger and pointed at the set of seats on the other side of the air ship. "Ruby cease your questions, and just go sit down. I want to get back to Beacon as Jake obviously needs to recover his aura as well as have studies done on its effects." But even as she said that she leaned forward to eye Jeanne who one my other side. "And beyond Jake we need to test to see how much Jeanne's semblance amplifies all the of our own semblances." Weiss finished off with Jeanne kind of twisting in her seat as all the huntresses eyed her like a juicy steak.
Because she was honestly. With her ability to boost a semblances natural potential or even skill level as I was literally capable of opening a portal straight into the atmosphere with zero practise at such a obviously complicated thing that it bordered on insanity.
Even now with Jeanne's semblance long having faded from my system I could feel my own Gap semblance oh so much more clearly than I ever could. Before it was like looking at something rushing around and just controlling its gap between movement and still being in motion.
But now I could feel the Gap's in so much more conceptual things, and I could only get inklings of stuff that I could only slightly control on the same level I was able to casually reach under the effects of Jeanne's semblance.
I reached into my pocket and seeing my aura was at like twenty percent I took a deep breath, feeling outwards with my Semblance as I peered at my sword Virtuous Contract that 2B gave me. The sword was a marvel of monomolecular technology allowing the blade to carve through the thick metal of Machine Lifeforms and the flesh and bones of Grimm alike with no issues.
But I could feel the infinite tiny imperfections within the blade, and I heard Ruby gasp as I began flipping the issues that sword had into beneficial aspects like turning the edge of the metal into some kind of purple edge that sparked faintly with electricity as well as vibrating at an insane repeating rate.
"No Ruby you may not slobber on the sword." I grinned as I sheathed the sword and ignored Ruby's pouting howl of despair that reached the peak sound of a tea kettle boiling.
"Ruby is likely to smother you with in a pillow to steal your weapon, Jake." Jeanne joked making Weiss scowled and go to refute before freezing.
"Maybe Ruby should sleep with her sister's team for a couple nights?" Weiss hesitantly brought up as Pyrrha just rolled her. eyes.
"Oh, stop bullying her she is obviously curious as to what in the world Jake did somehow change his weapon via his semblance." Pyrrha said looking at me expectantly and for a moment I considered hiding the sheer volume of my semblance.
But I realized these girls had already grown into a sort of family for me. I mean we lived together at this point for a couple months, ate together, slept together both literally and metaphorically, and most importantly if I could trust my life in their hands during a mission, I could trust them with my semblance as I already told them about me being a foreigner to this world.
"The proper name of my semblance is called Boundary Manipulation. It allows me to find the boundaries to two concepts, concepts not things and manipulate the 'Gap' between them." I then looked down at the sword and tapped its sheathed form on the flight units floor making a thunking noise. "I pulled and changed its Boundaries in order to change its concept of cutting to instead become slice through." I said putting importance on the cutting as aspect as conceptually this sword would now no longer need to 'cut' anything.
It would merely slice and glide through all mundane materials not protected by some kind of magic.
And then came the hard question as Ruby tilted her head. "The couldn't you manipulate the boundary between life and death, pulling someone back from the dead either by their souls or just reversing time to the point of just before they died?" Ruby asked frowning and I froze as unbidden came the memory of how Yukari did something similar at one point.

Thats some godlike ability. IF Jake manages to control it. Recalling Rubys mother halfassedly, just so she gets tethered to reality in a painful half state or something would be damning. Thx for the commissioned chapter! I think i would say this story is my favorite among the othera
