That night, Everyone was still trying to wrap their minds about what they saw and learnt earlier that night. For many of them, they haven't seen a dead person before, let alone the gruesome seen with soon many incomplete corpses filling the ground.
They still have a lingering fear from their encounter with The Black Reaper. The Disparity between their strength and his wasn't something they could overcome with numbers or teamwork. They understood that before that man, they were like defenseless babies. Even the professor on their side, who was one of the elite huntsmen and huntresses, one who could be said to be one of the top, yet she was like them, unable to make any difference.
In that despair, their friend arrived to the sight and faced The Black Reaper on equal ground forcing him to stop whatever he intended to do to them. Then it turned out, they were brothers, twin brothers.
What was even more terrifying that the strength these two showed wasn't their limit. All that destruction was the result of them fighting while holding back. They heard the two clearly speaking about what would happen if they were to fight at full power, the collateral damage would kill them and destroy all the dust shipment. Just how powerful the two were truly, they didn't know and they didn't wish to find out.
The students started to doubt their work and efforts, they trained to be huntsmen, they worked hard to be elite. They dreamed to be great huntsmen and bring change in the future. But the truth hit them hard, two people who were as old or even younger attained a level of power they could only dream to achieve.
They finally understood how powerful their friend was. Originally, they knew he was a lot stronger than any of them. But even with that, they weren't discouraged. He was still a single person, a team was always better than a single person, that what was engraved in their minds since childhood. They always heard the idiom 'A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong', then what about a huge metal pole?
They thought long and hard all the night and they came to one conclusion. Their friends might have a deadly killer as a brother, but he was still their friend who came to aid them against his own brother. He was a great friend to them, and even though he was a jerk and narcissistic at times, he would always help and give good advices. He helped the faunus in fighting back. They concluded he was a good friend and shouldn't be judged because his brother. They decided to train harder than ever and work with their friend to defeat the evil twin brother.
On the other hand, Ozpin stayed awake the whole night thinking about his current situation. His battle with Salem wasn't going well for his side. He was in the dark trying to defend against the unknown. When he believed the situation getting to a deadlock and couldn't do anything but wait for Salem next move, Mesa appeared in front of him. He was strong beyond anything Ozpin had expected. What gave Ozpin a great headache was Mesa's nature. He didn't care about laws or the threat of police and huntsmen, he was doing whatever he wanted over and over. And even though Mesa seemed to hate him for some reason, Ozpin didn't care about it as long as Mesa didn't join Salem. Ozpin looked at the big picture, Ozpin didn't think Mesa would join his side, but hoped Salem would make him go against her. Ozpin believed Mesa could make Salem suffer great losses.
When everything was finally shaping in favor of Ozpin a little, as Mesa was more and more integrating with his team and friends, the more Mesa stayed with them, the more the chances of him going against Salem will increase, The Black Reaper appeared out of nowhere in Vale. From Glynda, he understood how powerful The Black Reaper was and what he was capable of. Unlike Mesa, he was a killer through and through, he killed for the single purpose of his enjoyment, just a twisted sense of thrill. Ozpin believed this kind of personality wouldn't mind working with Salem, in fact, if he got bored he might attack Salem just for fun regardless of the consequences. This kind of personality scared Ozpin, adding the fact that the only person capable of stopping him was the twin brother, who is apathetic toward evil and good.
Ozpin kept thinking how to handle these two and how to avoid angering them. Ozpin didn't wish to see two angry monsters working against him. He had to think his next step carefully, or he might lose far more than what he and the world could afford. Ozpin couldn't sleep nor take a rest.
Glynda was not any better, she thought about her encounter with The Black Reaper. If not for Mesa's arrival, she and her students would have died their. Just remembering the encounter make her shiver. She thought about her first encounter with Mesa, where he said she is a failure when it come to decision making. Everytime she remembers his disrespectful behaviour angered her. But after what happened, she thought he was right. She knew The Black Reaper was a deadly killer, yet she attempted to fight him alone and even dragged the students along.
To the first time in years, Glynda doubted her skills and knowledge. She might not be as good as she believed herself to be. Mesa despite being much younger than her, he was wiser and stronger than her. She understood Mesa better now, he is a jerk and asshole, but not overly evil, he might be a killer but still not bloodthirsty. Power can corrupt the good adults then what about a child with too much power, how many people tried to use him or trick him, yet he hadn't turned into a monster blinded by hatred. Glynda evaluation for Mesa changed from an evil monster to twisted child burdened by his powers. Glynda's hatred turned to a pity. She decided to improve herself so she won't repeat her mistakes, and she would help Mesa to return to the right path.
While everyone having their own thoughts regardless if they are correct or not, Mesa was sleeping peacefully

The next day, Ozpin called team MNPR and team RWBY. The two went to Ozpin's office together, none spoke on the way, all of them looked tired with the except of Mesa. When they entered Ozpin's office, they saw Ozpin drinking his coffee with tired looking Glynda on the side.
Ozpin gestured them to take seats, which they did. Ozpin said " Yesterday incident was out of our expectations. It was regrettable what you have suffered, but I still have to ask you to narrate what happened from your point of view. We need to know everything we can about The Black Reaper "
Blake, Ruby and Weiss explained everything happened before the arrival of the rest. Hearing their words especially Blake caused their fear toward The Black Reaper increase. Ozpin's face got darker as he heard from the students. The Black Reaper was twisted bloodthirsty monster. He was even more dangerous than what he thought originally.
Ozpin took a deep breath then looked toward Mesa and said " I know The Black Reaper is your brother, but I need you tell me everything you knew about him and if he has a weakness. You brother is extremely dangerous and must be stopped"
Mesa expected this question, he didn't believe Ozpin want to simply hear the story of the students. He wanted to use them as pressure to get more information. Mesa laughed internally. But he said with straight face " First of all his name is Centos. His personality as described by the others, thus I will skip to his ability. His speed, physical strength and aura reserves equal mine. His eyes also look like mine, but they have different pattern when he activate his semblances." Everyone was listening carefully to his words, everything they heard so far was within their expectations.
Mesa looked around him, he was looking for their reactions when they hear everything he is going to say, especially Ozpin. His face became serious as he continued " He has two semblances, 'Amaterasu' and 'Susanoo' "
Ren translated from the side " 'Amaterasu' means 'Heavenly Illumination', while 'Susanoo' means 'He with the ability to help by all means' "
All the present look weirdly at Mesa, all of the names they heard from his so far, were too overbearing, if they didn't know better, they would have thought that these brothers considered themselves gods or half-gods at least.
Mesa could guess their thought but he chose to ignore it, he simply nodded his head and continued " 'Amaterasu' is a black flame capable of burning anything. These flames can't be stopped nor put down by any normal means. The flames will keep burning for 7 days and 7 nights unless Centos put it down. I believe the flames in the docks still present and no one managed to put it down. You can give up on that, it will burn for another 7 days and 6 nights " Mesa looked back at Ozpin
Ozpin nodded and said with grave tone" That correct, we tried to put it down or even remove it, but it kept burning. Even aura and dust burned upon touching it, it is truly a terrifying semblance"
Mesa continue " Centos can create and control these flames, he can wear them like a coat protecting him against nearly everything. Some heavier weapons and attacks can pass it. But it will be weaken drastically or nearly in destroyed state. He also can use them as long range attacks. I'm not sure about his range. But I can say it can go more than 1 KM. The only disadvantage that Centos will require some time to use it against far targets. He will need few seconds to hit a target at the distance 1 KM, if the target is moving, then he will need even more time"
Everyone was serious, this ability indeed too strong, it can work both defensive and offensive. The only weakness is not even a weakness, it's not like he will fight from miles away. Ozpin understood how dangerous his power more than his students. A flame like these hitting from long ranges. Even if it requires a lot of time, it will eventually hit. Centos could attack and kill everyone from the shadows without anyone being to react. Ozpin anxiety was increasing.
Mesa continued " As for ' Susanoo', you can say Centos is serious only when he is using it. When 'Susanoo' is used for defense then it is an absolute defense, no weapon or skill can break it. But when ' Susanoo' used for offensive then ….." Mesa stopped a little like he was thinking about his next words, he then continued " 'Susanoo' is destruction!! "
Ozpin and rest didn't understand what 'Susanoo' can do. However from Mesa's words and tone, they could understand Susanoo's strength is not something they can underestimate.
Weiss asked " What does that mean? "
Mesa answered " Do you remember the light purple rib cage you saw yesterday? " Weiss nodded " That was Susanoo weakest form. A small rib cage and can only protect Centos. You can divide Susanoo forms to 5 levels. The small rib cage was the first. The second is when it become an upper half of a full skeleton with height of nearly 10m . The third, the skeleton would look more humanoid and it will armor and carry swords and the height would increase to 15m. The fourth level, it will grow the lower half. In that form it will be a giant armored monster of nearly 40 M. As for the last level, you don't need to know about it "
Everyone were stunned, 40m armored monster? Is that still considered a semblance? Ozpin was about to cry, everytime think he understood their strength, it turned out he was still far from reaching complete understanding. He started to think one of their parents is a god.
Ozpin's throat was dry but he still had to ask one important question " If he is that strong, then how strong are?"
Everyone wanted to hear this, Mesa said " That's for me to know, and for you to find out. But I can say just like Centos, my attacks can be divided to levels. And out of 5, the ones you experiences are only 2 "
Ozpin paled, all the that destructive power, was only small part of his strength. Ozpin was not getting more and more depressed. His mind nearly stopped functioning. The others weren't as bad as him since they didn't know about darkness and light war. Glynda was stunned and scared about what these two brothers could do. She had to ask " If that is the case, then how are we supposed to stop Centos? Bring an army? "
Mesa looked at her mockingly and said " Send an army and you will have one sided annihilation. I can fight him equally and stop him, but the collateral damage is way over the top, so me fighting him is a bad idea. If you want to truly stop that asshole without a disastrous battle , you will need the help of the laziest human in the world. Our third brother!! "
Glynda choked hearing him, she sutterd " W-wha..t … B-b-brothe..r ???!!!!"
Mesa wanted to laugh out loud seeing everyone reaction, but controlled himself and laughed dryly " You see, we are not just two twins, we are three. Or to be more accurate in the naming, we are a triblet "
This information, caused a dozen centuries old monster like Ozpin faint.

Some heavier weapons and attacks can pass it. But it will be weaken drastically or nearly in destroyed state. He also can use them as long range attacks. I'm not sure about his range. But I can say it can go more than 1 KM. The only disadvantage that Centos will require some time to use it against far targets. He will need few seconds to hit a target at the distance 1 KM, if the target is moving, then he will need even more time"Everyone was serious, this ability indeed too strong, it can work both defensive and offensive. The only weakness is not even a weakness, it's not like he will fight from miles away. Ozpin understood how dangerous his power more than his students. A flame like these hitting from long ranges. Even if it requires a lot of time, it will eventually hit. Centos could attack and kill everyone from the shadows without anyone being to react. Ozpin anxiety was increasing.Mesa continued " As for ' Susanoo', you can say Centos is serious only when he is using it. When 'Susanoo' is used for defense then it is an absolute defense, no weapon or skill can break it. But when ' Susanoo' used for offensive then .." Mesa stopped a little like he was thinking about his next words, he then continued " 'Susanoo' is destruction!! "Ozpin and rest didn't understand what 'Susanoo' can do. However from Mesa's words and tone, they could understand Susanoo's strength is not something they can underestimate.Weiss asked " What does that mean? "Mesa answered " Do you remember the light purple rib cage you saw yesterday? " Weiss nodded " That was Susanoo weakest form. A small rib cage and can only protect Centos. You can divide Susanoo forms to 5 levels. The small rib cage was the first. The second is when it become an upper half of a full skeleton with height of nearly 10m . The third, the skeleton would look more humanoid and it will armor and carry swords and the height would increase to 15m. The fourth level, it will grow the lower half. In that form it will be a giant armored monster of nearly 40 M. As for the last level, you don't need to know about it "Everyone were stunned, 40m armored monster? Is that still considered a semblance? Ozpin was about to cry, everytime think he understood their strength, it turned out he was still far from reaching complete understanding. He started to think one of their parents is a god.Ozpin's throat was dry but he still had to ask one important question " If he is that strong, then how strong are?"Everyone wanted to hear this, Mesa said " That's for me to know, and for you to find out. But I can say just like Centos, my attacks can be divided to levels. And out of 5, the ones you experiences are only 2 "Ozpin paled, all the that destructive power, was only small part of his strength. Ozpin was not getting more and more depressed. His mind nearly stopped functioning. The others weren't as bad as him since they didn't know about darkness and light war. Glynda was stunned and scared about what these two brothers could do. She had to ask " If that is the case, then how are we supposed to stop Centos? Bring an army? "Mesa looked at her mockingly and said " Send an army and you will have one sided annihilation. I can fight him equally and stop him, but the collateral damage is way over the top, so me fighting him is a bad idea. If you want to truly stop that asshole without a disastrous battle , you will need the help of the laziest human in the world. Our third brother!! "Glynda choked hearing him, she sutterd " W-wha..t B-b-brothe..r ???!!!!"Mesa wanted to laugh out loud seeing everyone reaction, but controlled himself and laughed dryly " You see, we are not just two twins, we are three. Or to be more accurate in the naming, we are a triblet "This information, caused a dozen centuries old monster like Ozpin faint.
