If there was one word to describe her situation at the moment it would be “annoying”.
She was currently walking through the grand halls of Beacon Academy school of future huntsmen & huntresses a place most people would try their hardest to get into. However, unlike them Neo wasn’t really here by choice. In fact, she hadn’t had a real choice for herself in a while since that bitch Cinder had showed up.
Neo & Roman had a good thing going robbing some stuck up snobs and being able to beat down the occasional wannabe heroes that would try to stop them every now and then. And when things would get to hot or someone strong actually showed up, they would get out of the limelight for a bit to let things cool down.
But then that fire bitch had shown up and made it very clear that anyone that didn’t go along with her would be permanently retired. What’s worse is that Roman had made such a name for himself that Cinder wanted him to continuously pull off big dust heists for her own personal war against the huntsman academy for some reason.
Being Romans partner in crime Neo also ended up catching Cinder’s eye with her useful semblance. So useful that she had been roped into joining Cinder’s Beacon infiltration team. Along with her two lackeys Emerald & Mercury.
Now she was walking the perimeter of Beacon supposedly getting a better layout of the school, when she was actually just getting out of her dorm room and away from her supposed teammates.
So here she was stuck up in this stupid school on the weekend. She’d rather be down in Vale lazing around with Roman right now but nope. At least she could have some fun messing with the students around here. Along with being a mute she had become rather skilled and getting around rather quietly which made it so much easier to go unnoticed by others.
In fact, if her timing was right, she should be getting close to a secluded area of Beacon where most of the girls from team RWBY would come and do workouts with that hyperactive girl from team JNPR right around now.
Sure enough when she peaked her head around one of Beacons outer walls she could see Ruby, Blake, and Yang all doing jumping jacks with Nora literally circling those three and yelling at them at the same time.
Neo will be smirking while thinking to herself, “So what am I going to do to vent my frustration today?”
However, before she can think of anything she will hear a loud thud sound causing her to jolt a little. Turning around Neo will see a small smoking black rock about the size of an apple sitting in the middle of a crater.
While curious about the rock Neo will look back around the corner to see if any of girls heard the impact.
Luckily it seemed their workout group was too far away to properly hear the sound. Ruby & Yang didn’t seem to hear anything and were still doing jumping jacks. Blake however had stopped and seemed to be asking the others if they had heard something. Only for Nora to get in her face and yell at her to stop dallying.
Once Neo was sure that the girls weren’t planning on coming over, she decided to investigate the smoking rock.
As Neo got closer to the rock, she could feel herself being more and more drawn towards it. Wanting to touch it. Make whatever it was hers.
Neo bent down with her right hand outstretched. As her hand touched the rock the black smoke that had been coming off of it now began to rapidly flow into her hand. Neo was shocked with what was happening however she couldn’t pull her hand away from the rock.
Finally when all of the smoke was gone, and the rock was now a dull grey color Neo was finally able to pull away from the rock causing her to fall back on her butt in the grass.
Uncaring of falling back Neo could only stare at her right hand as she could feel the new power coursing through her body.
While the smoke had been flowing into her at had also recorded what this new power was into her mind.
As if she had been able to do it all her life Neo knew that she now had the power of…
