Jaune Arc: Fate System

Chapter 23: Thoughts

Jaune quickly came back to his senses after several minutes.

With his shared senses, he already knows that his clone has already left Beacon. And is travelling towards several aura signatures that he felt from before.

Seeing that it will take some more time for them to meet, Jaune began to think back on what made him faint.

He couldn't believe what he just saw, by the system's panel. And he wouldn't believe that his mother won't beat him to death because of this. Jaune was lost in his delusions for several moments.

-Arc Clan-

Jonathan and Gawain who were out of the residence sparring with each other, suddenly felt proud at Jaune for a reason, and two exchanged knowing looks and smiles.

"That's my boy!"

Jaune's mother who was currently doing some household chores suddenly felt a nagging feeling in the back of her mind. She felt that she needs to talk to Jaune, and prepare for the arrival of several grandkids.

"I wonder how my baby boy is doing this days, he better not be wasting his time and fooling around with girls!"

-Beacon-

Jaune who was still deep in thought suddenly felt chills on his back, and could only bitterly smile as he already thought of what's to come. 'Yep, it's official, it looks like I'll have to postpone my return to the Arc residence for several more years.'

As he was mentally weeping, a knock on the door brought him back to reality.

"We're back!" Nora cheerfully said once she opened the door. Behind her were Ren and Pyrrha carrying dust supplies and tools.

Jaune looked at his teammates and was stunned for a moment as he saw Pyrrha. The redheaded spartan was definitely even more gorgeous than the last time he saw her. 

Pyrrha as well was stunned, a blush slowly creeping out on her beautiful face, as she gazed at Jaune. The blonde knight was certainly glowing in her eyes.

The two were quick to compose themselves, and were lucky that neither Nora or Ren noticed them.

"Hello Jaune, did you have a nice nap?" Pyrrha asked once she saw Jaune go near her. The closer Jaune approached, the faster her heart beat. She was sure that it was loud enough for Jaune to hear.

"Yeah, just woke up a couple of minutes ago. By the way Pyrrha, did you do something with your hair? You look lovelier today." Jaune was surprised at first as he glanced at her but quickly composed himself and said with a sweet smile, while grabbing the bags.

Pyrrha blushed at the gesture, with her blush covering her entire face as she heard Jaune's next words, leaving her dazed.

"I think you broke her, Jaune-Jaune." Nora said as she neared Jaune.

Jaune gave Nora a bonk to the head and gave Ren a nod, one which the ninja returned.

The reason why Jaune was surprised at first was because that Pyrrha was one of the girls whose fate intertwined with his. And just by this, Jaune has already guessed who the other girls are.

This was the first time that Jaune was cursing his luck. And knowing that Acheron was the one who gave him the system, then it was safe to say that it was also him who messed with his love life.

Jaune wouldn't care much and would even be grateful if Acheron helped him get a girlfriend, but this was too much! It would've been fine if it was one or two, but the fate threads he felt was more than ten!
