Ruby was holding two fist-sized crystals of Dust and was grinning with a bit of dirt on her cheeks, "There's more down here! Come help!"
Yang grinned, "You guy's actually found a Dust Deposit!?"
Weiss ran over and said, "Let me see!"
Ren and Nora walked up to Jaune and gave him a hug, Jaune was taken by surprise and didn't expect this when Ren said, "Thank you Jaune, if we stay by your side, we can accomplish what we came here to accomplish faster."
"Thanks, Jaune!" Nora shouted as Jaune felt his body being crushed.
Jaune suddenly figured out what they were talking about, the revenge against the Nuckelavee, Jaune smiled and pulled up his menu and said, "Go ahead and use your Level Tokens."
While his menu floated in front of them, Jaune saw everyone's level 3 status.

Jaune gathered everyone and showed them their improvements, after their experience with having their Aura boosted, they could all feel that their bodies had grown in strength by quite a bit, Weiss questioned Jaune about her Mana boost with great curiosity, "Jaune, what is Mana, why does it improve my power over my Glyphs?"
Weiss held out her hand and showed everyone three small Glyphs rotating in her hand, each of them summoning a Nevermore, a Deathstalker, and an Arma Gigas Grimm.
Jaune looked surprised, but knew it wasn't the time to tell everyone about the war to come, he wanted to save Beacon, and let them graduate safely before filling them in, however, he wasn't sure that it was the right choice to make. He didn't want to lie to his allies.
After sighing, Jaune said, "Maybe magic is real, and you're the only one to able to use it, maybe that's why your family's Semblance is hereditary. After all, you have a blessing like me, and Ruby, I don't know who this Ozma is, but I remember the story about the 4 Maidens."
Everyone looked to Weiss, Jaune, and Ruby, "What's a blessing?" Yang asked looking at her sister with some worry.
Jaune smiled and said, "I don't know, but according to the Blessings we have, I've got a blessing from the Wargod that gives me ten times the effects gained from training, Ruby has a blessing from God of Light, her silver eyes are basically a Grimms worst nightmare; if they have nightmares, and Weiss has a blessing that's been passed down through Schnee's family line, it says she's related to the Winter Maiden."
"Winter Maiden, like from the 4 Maidens story?" Ruby said with star-struck eyes.
Everyone was shocked somewhat, "But I thought that was just a bedtime story?" Pyrrha said with wide eyes.
"Every story has some truth to it," Jaune said with a grin.
"But, magic!?" Yang shouted.
"We live in a world where we can use Aura and Semblances, a world where Grimm and superpowered Hunters exist, and Magic is what you find strange? Haven't you ever wondered where Grimm came from, how Aura's and Semblances came into being, or even how magic like Weiss's Semblance is!?" Jaune asked everyone as he looked to Weiss and said, "Seriously, just how versatile is your Semblance?"
Weiss seriously began to wonder about her own family's history, "I can use Magic?"
Ruby squealed and hugged Weiss, "This is amazing, my bestie is a wizard!"
Weiss smiled with a cocky look and said, "Yes, I suppose I am...Wait a minute!" Weiss pushed Ruby off of her, "Who are you calling you Bestie! We barely know each other!"
"Awe, come on, I think we've been hitting it off pretty well!" Ruby said as she fell back.
Weiss frowned, "Be that as it may, a person who is my best friend would have to be like Pyrrha, beautiful, smart, elegant, and the best at what she does."
"Hey, I'm all of those things!" Ruby said standing back up as she turned to Pyrrha and compared herself to her fellow teammate, "See, I'm still growing, but when I get older, you bet I'll fill out."
Pyrrha gave a quick chuckle and said, "I'm sure you be a very lovely lady Ruby."
Ruby blushed and hid her face, "Awe, thanks, Pyrrha, your a bestie too!"
Pyrrha said, "You can have more of those?"
Jaune laughed and said, "Sure, the more the better right?"
Ruby nodded her head and said, "See, Jaune gets it."
Yang laughed and broke up the moment by saying, "But what does that mean, what can my sister's eyes do, are there really gods in this world, and what are the chances of 3 people with blessings ending up in a party?"
Jaune shook his head, "Don't know, but Ruby's eyes, if she figures out how to use them, could kill a Gimm with a single look."
Everyone froze, Ruby rubbed the back of her head and laughed with an awkward tone, "Yeah, I don't know how they work."
Jaune shook his head and said, "I think I know someone who can help,"
This time everyone looked at Jaune, "I live out near the outskirts of Vale, there's a legend about a traveling Huntress named Maria Calavera, my old man said that she had silver eyes as well, and could kill them with a simple glimpse, her nickname was the Grimm Reaper."
Everyone looked back to Ruby to see her with a huge smile on her face, "Someone else has this blessing as well?"
Jaune rubbed the back of his head, "I'm not sure, but if you put up a job on the Hunter's-Board, I'm sure she'll come running to teach, of course, you'll have to disguise it, can't just say Silver-Eyed Warrior in need of training." Jaune lied, he would have to get Ozpin to contact her.
Ruby needed to learn how to control her Silver-Eyes, and Maria Calavera was the best choice, seeing as how she had helped Ruby master her blessing in the future, it was only right that she does so in this one.
"Why does she have to hide it?" Yang asked with her brow lowered.
"Because, just like me, don't you think people would kill to get at Ruby's eyes?" Jaune's statement made Yang's hair fly up and glow, "If anyone even thinks of harming my Ruby, they'll die before they hit the ground!"
Jaune nodded his head, "I agree, Ruby has to keep her blessing a secret for now, just like my Semblance. But once we are strong enough to make our debut, I'd like to see what they could try to do to a fully trained Silver-Eyed Warrior!"
Everyone looked at Ruby in shock again, "Is being a Silver-Eyed Warrior really that great?" Nora asked.
"You don't know the half of it," Jaune shook his head, "According to the legend my dad told me, Silver-Eyed Warriors are the strongest Hunters and Huntresses to ever exist, all Grimm fear them."
Everyone looked at Ruby with wide eyes, "So much for normal knees." Ruby muttered under her breath.
Jaune then walked back over to the crater and said, "Well we've wasted enough time, how about we all eat first and then clear out this Dust Deposit before going back to the Dorm."
Everyone nodded their heads, while they ate, Jaune let them use their Level Tokens.
Ruby picked a +4 to Constitution.
Jaune used his Level Token on another skill, "Empowering Shout, he wondered what it would be like and stood up and used it, as Jaune shouted, he saw the Aura around his body suddenly spike, his overall Aura increased by 15% for approximately three minutes. After his Aura cooled down, Jaune couldn't use it for another 5 minutes.
Weiss chose to use her level tokens on obtaining a +1 to Mana and +4 to Intelligence. The greater her intelligence, the better she could manipulate her Glyphs.
Blake picked a +4 to Constitution and skill called, Shadow Enhancement, it allowed her shadow copies to spawn from other target shadows that were within 5 feet of her own.
Yang selected +10 to Battle Power, and a class skill, her new burst ability allowed her Aura to spike to 3 times its limit for a single attack, giving her an increase in strength without using her Semblance, it had a cooldown time of 1 minute and drained 15% of her Aura in the process.
"This is awesome," Yang punched out as she tested her new ability, instead of her hair glowing, when she activated the ability only her eyes changed color.
As she punched out and caused a huge gust of wind to shoot off into the distance, Nora threw a pebble at Yang's back, "We're trying to eat here! I don't want no Dust in my food!"
Yang laughed and sat back down, "Sorry but this is so cool!"
Nora grinned, "Oh yeah, check out my new skill."
Nora picked another +25 to Aura, and a skill called, Double Strike, she walked away from the food and smacked her hammer into the ground.
Yang walked over, "So what, all you did was hit the ground."
Nora shook her head, "No~pe! Look at the impressions."
"Impressions?" Yang looked at the ground and noticed that there were two circular hammer markings, Nora then said, "I can manipulate the second blow as long as it orbits my hammer, only its power is made at half of my own, and I have to wait a minute before I can use it again."
Yang grinned, "Jaune's power is simply OP! I can't wait to go a few rounds with dad again! Even Uncle Crow might lose this time!"
Jaune rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look and said, "So what did you pick Ren?"
"Two +4's to my constitution, I learned that it was rather weak." Ren responded as he ate Jaune's meal, "This is really good, I'm cooking next time."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Ruby was holding two fist-sized crystals of Dust and was grinning with a bit of dirt on her cheeks, "There's more down here! Come help!"
Yang grinned, "You guy's actually found a Dust Deposit!?"
Weiss ran over and said, "Let me see!"
Ren and Nora walked up to Jaune and gave him a hug, Jaune was taken by surprise and didn't expect this when Ren said, "Thank you Jaune, if we stay by your side, we can accomplish what we came here to accomplish faster."
"Thanks, Jaune!" Nora shouted as Jaune felt his body being crushed.
Jaune suddenly figured out what they were talking about, the revenge against the Nuckelavee, Jaune smiled and pulled up his menu and said, "Go ahead and use your Level Tokens."
While his menu floated in front of them, Jaune saw everyone's level 3 status.

Weiss pushed Ruby off of her, "Who are you calling you Bestie! We barely know each other!""Awe, come on, I think we've been hitting it off pretty well!" Ruby said as she fell back.Weiss frowned, "Be that as it may, a person who is my best friend would have to be like Pyrrha, beautiful, smart, elegant, and the best at what she does.""Hey, I'm all of those things!" Ruby said standing back up as she turned to Pyrrha and compared herself to her fellow teammate, "See, I'm still growing, but when I get older, you bet I'll fill out."Pyrrha gave a quick chuckle and said, "I'm sure you be a very lovely lady Ruby."Ruby blushed and hid her face, "Awe, thanks, Pyrrha, your a bestie too!"Pyrrha said, "You can have more of those?"Jaune laughed and said, "Sure, the more the better right?"Ruby nodded her head and said, "See, Jaune gets it."Yang laughed and broke up the moment by saying, "But what does that mean, what can my sister's eyes do, are there really gods in this world, and what are the chances of 3 people with blessings ending up in a party?"Jaune shook his head, "Don't know, but Ruby's eyes, if she figures out how to use them, could kill a Gimm with a single look."Everyone froze, Ruby rubbed the back of her head and laughed with an awkward tone, "Yeah, I don't know how they work."Jaune shook his head and said, "I think I know someone who can help,"This time everyone looked at Jaune, "I live out near the outskirts of Vale, there's a legend about a traveling Huntress named Maria Calavera, my old man said that she had silver eyes as well, and could kill them with a simple glimpse, her nickname was the Grimm Reaper."Everyone looked back to Ruby to see her with a huge smile on her face, "Someone else has this blessing as well?"Jaune rubbed the back of his head, "I'm not sure, but if you put up a job on the Hunter's-Board, I'm sure she'll come running to teach, of course, you'll have to disguise it, can't just say Silver-Eyed Warrior in need of training." Jaune lied, he would have to get Ozpin to contact her.Ruby needed to learn how to control her Silver-Eyes, and Maria Calavera was the best choice, seeing as how she had helped Ruby master her blessing in the future, it was only right that she does so in this one."Why does she have to hide it?" Yang asked with her brow lowered."Because, just like me, don't you think people would kill to get at Ruby's eyes?" Jaune's statement made Yang's hair fly up and glow, "If anyone even thinks of harming my Ruby, they'll die before they hit the ground!"Jaune nodded his head, "I agree, Ruby has to keep her blessing a secret for now, just like my Semblance. But once we are strong enough to make our debut, I'd like to see what they could try to do to a fully trained Silver-Eyed Warrior!"Everyone looked at Ruby in shock again, "Is being a Silver-Eyed Warrior really that great?" Nora asked."You don't know the half of it," Jaune shook his head, "According to the legend my dad told me, Silver-Eyed Warriors are the strongest Hunters and Huntresses to ever exist, all Grimm fear them."Everyone looked at Ruby with wide eyes, "So much for normal knees." Ruby muttered under her breath.Jaune then walked back over to the crater and said, "Well we've wasted enough time, how about we all eat first and then clear out this Dust Deposit before going back to the Dorm."Everyone nodded their heads, while they ate, Jaune let them use their Level Tokens.Ruby picked a +4 to Constitution.Jaune used his Level Token on another skill, "Empowering Shout, he wondered what it would be like and stood up and used it, as Jaune shouted, he saw the Aura around his body suddenly spike, his overall Aura increased by 15% for approximately three minutes. After his Aura cooled down, Jaune couldn't use it for another 5 minutes.Weiss chose to use her level tokens on obtaining a +1 to Mana and +4 to Intelligence. The greater her intelligence, the better she could manipulate her Glyphs.Blake picked a +4 to Constitution and skill called, Shadow Enhancement, it allowed her shadow copies to spawn from other target shadows that were within 5 feet of her own.Yang selected +10 to Battle Power, and a class skill, her new burst ability allowed her Aura to spike to 3 times its limit for a single attack, giving her an increase in strength without using her Semblance, it had a cooldown time of 1 minute and drained 15% of her Aura in the process."This is awesome," Yang punched out as she tested her new ability, instead of her hair glowing, when she activated the ability only her eyes changed color.As she punched out and caused a huge gust of wind to shoot off into the distance, Nora threw a pebble at Yang's back, "We're trying to eat here! I don't want no Dust in my food!"Yang laughed and sat back down, "Sorry but this is so cool!"Nora grinned, "Oh yeah, check out my new skill."Nora picked another +25 to Aura, and a skill called, Double Strike, she walked away from the food and smacked her hammer into the ground.Yang walked over, "So what, all you did was hit the ground."Nora shook her head, "No~pe! Look at the impressions.""Impressions?" Yang looked at the ground and noticed that there were two circular hammer markings, Nora then said, "I can manipulate the second blow as long as it orbits my hammer, only its power is made at half of my own, and I have to wait a minute before I can use it again."Yang grinned, "Jaune's power is simply OP! I can't wait to go a few rounds with dad again! Even Uncle Crow might lose this time!"Jaune rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look and said, "So what did you pick Ren?""Two +4's to my constitution, I learned that it was rather weak." Ren responded as he ate Jaune's meal, "This is really good, I'm cooking next time."
