Chapter 23: Confusion cleared

Alex returned to the dorm and apologized for storming off but made it clear that the one month thing still applied. all of the girls agreed with this and shared a group hug with alex in the middle. alex also disassembled the modifications he put on his bed since they obviously didn't work and since yang only felt up his wings it was fine. he teased her about it too since despite thirsting over his muscles the part of him she cuddled with was his wings. yang didn't even try to defend herself but proudly stated that they were just so soft and warm that she got distracted.

None of the other girls disagreed with her either though they did look a little jealous that yang got in alex's bed first. the rest of the day was just spent with the girls studying while glaring at alex who had already memorized all of the text books. but alex was more preoccupied with the feats he had unlocked earlier. *student , *true friend v1 and *grandstand were the feats he had unlocked yesterday but didn't notice till today when he went to buy more nutrient pills for himself and nora.

Student needed him to attend a class as a student while true friend required him to have at least five people acknowledge him as a friend and seemed to be upgradeable. grandstand needed alex to put on a spectacle for a group of people without seeking credit. this was the only feat he unlocked today after the cannon shot he showed ozpin who was awed by it by the way. the reward for these three feats was far less than his others at only five thousand s.p for all of them. this put alex at seven thousand fifty six s.p.

The nonpoint rewards were better as he got a roulette ticket , a silver decorative globe and a rare book about engineering. the reward that interested alex the most was the roulette ticket since he had mastered the semblances he currently had but since he needed to save points for creating his gear he couldn't spend the fifteen thousand four hundred ninety nine points needed to spin once. now he could finally try and get something else. when the wheel finally stopped spinning alex was disappointed to learn he merely got water resistance. while not useless it was not something he could see himself using a lot unless his enemies used water based attacks.

That one spin raised the cost to do so again to twenty three thousand two hundred and forty eight points. nothing seemed to change on the surface of alex's body so none of the girls even noticed he had just gotten a minor upgrade. ruby became interested in the book he seemed to take out of his coat however when she read the title. alex ended up with her cuddled up next to him reading along with vivid interest making the other girls jealous but knowing she was truly only there for the book in alex's hands.

After alex finished the book and ruby was barely past the first quarter due to how fast alex read he handed her the book and turned in for the night since it was getting late. once the girls thought alex was truly asleep they all shared at mischievous look before using rock paper scissors to decide who got to try and sneak into his bed. not for any naughtiness but simply because yang said it was the most comfortable she had felt in ages.

When alex woke up at dawn the next day he could only sigh after discovering weiss wrapped up under his wings in her pajamas. just like the previous day alex carefully removed himself from the bed without waking the girl there, changing into his training attire and heading to his training spot. this time professor oobleck was already sitting on a foldable chair seemingly waiting for alex. "surprised to see you sitting still after all of the energy you seemed to have during class." alex joked as he walked over. "you are fortunate enough to appear when my caffeine levels are low is all." the professor said calmly before sipping from his thermos.

"Any particular reason you are here this time?" alex asked curiously. "you are a very confusing individual mr.drake , one moment you are suffocating another student with remorse and the next you are joking around like nothing even happened. the change of extremes is difficult to understand since you are obviously sane." oobleck explained seriously. "that has to do with my heritage , specifically the attitudes of the two beast i take after." alex explained honestly. "i'm afraid i don't understand." oobleck admitted. "you are aware that faunus tend to have the temperaments of the beast whose features they take after correct?" alex asked while starting his reps.

"Yes several studies were made into the subject during less peaceful times for you kind." oobleck answered calmly. "and you are aware of the two beast i myself take after yes?" alex asked and oobleck nodded. "the lion and the red eagle creating the griffin correct?" oobleck verified and alex confirmed it. "the attitude of both of those beast are extremely similar with one trait or mortal sin being predominant in each , pride." alex explained seriously. "And you have the innate pride of both beast despite your obviously caring personality , this would indeed explain your actions though i can not say i envy such a violent trait." oobleck said honestly. alex simply smiled "you can't accept the gift without the curse on the other side of it and pride is no different." he said before focusing on his regime.
