"「MOOOOOM!!! Everything Hurts, Please Come Save Me!!!」"

The Headmaster: Ozpin and his Assistant Professor: Glynda Goodwitch were in the middle of watching Kumagawa Misogi continue to lay down on the ground, 'Crying' and 'Begging' to be saved, while the Mother of this child could only watch in horror and freak out extremely, her boss just frowned lightly in disappointment

'Ah, I assumed he had some kind of hidden talent or abilities since Glynda keeps trying to convince him to at least train with her, though this was a horrible way to go about it... Probably shouldn't tell her about it.'

Ozpin calmly drank his coffee, already planning to keep and hide another secret from everyone, once he finished his sip, he took a glance at his Assistant, who was already planning to jump off the cliff to no doubt save her son

"Glynda, you know you're not allowed to go down there during the 'Initiation Exam'-"

"MY SON NEEDS ME GOD DAMMIT!!!"

Ozpin couldn't help but flinch and step back when Glynda glared at him with 'Angry Overprotective Mom' eyes

"Y-Yes I know that, and I promise you that when your Son is saved, he will be given the finest medical treatment we have to offer, but we've made an oath of never interfering with our potential students' exam, no matter what, don't you remember that?"

What Ozpin said made Goodwitch pissed beyond relief, clearly she wasn't willing to accept that reason of not trying to save his own child, which honestly concerned him on what she might do if he continues to try and stop her, though luckily for him, he might survive longer today

"L-Look, someone is already close by and will no doubt save your son, everything will be fine."

Ozpin shows the Huntress Professor the tablet screen, to which she glares at and notices someone heading towards the direction of her injured Son

"... If I see that my son is close to death, I will step in and handle it myself..."

Glynda growls as she takes the tablet from the Headmaster's hand and continues to watch it carefully, Ozpin could only sigh in relief

'I hope things go smoothly now... I don't want to reincarnate again...'

Meanwhile, back with Kumagawa Misogi himself, while he continued to act like a 'Weak, Defense and Helpless Normal', crying and begging for help, he couldn't help but think more about his situation and what he should do

'「-I could definitely let myself be killed by Grimm, which would let me do more things if people think I'm dead, though with my Mother around, I can't really do that, maybe pretend to be crippled for life? No, that would give me more attention, bwah, life is so hard~...」'

Before Kumagawa could mentally complain even more, he heard something, or more specifically someone, he turns his head and saw the trees moving, all the while hearing some unfamiliar sounds, while his outside expression looked more 'Worried' and 'Panicked', he mentally couldn't help but be curious about who it was

'「Oh? Why am I sensing something sloth like?~」'

A moment later, a certain orange hair girl with blue green eyes, who wore pink and had a grenade hammer folded up on her back, it was Nora Valkyrie, someone Misogi was familiar with when he arrived at Beacon Academy, a potential but failed Minus, and now he just saw her hanging upside down on the tree, wearing a bright and silly smile

"Found you Ren, hehe, you could never hide from me-"

Nora quickly stopped herself when she noticed that the person she was talking to was not Ren, like she believed it was, and instead it was the Good Loser himself, this momentarily confused and disappointed her, however once she saw the state he was in, she instantly worried, jumping down from the tree and rushing up to him

"Oh My Goodness! Are You Ok?! Your Legs Are Completely Broken! Wait, did I do that? No, that's the future chapter me... ANYWAY! Are You Ok?!"

Nora was beyond concerned and took this situation very seriously, which made him respond with an expression of 'Relief'

"「P-Please help me, I-I'm so scared a-and I want to be back with my M-Mother!」"

Kumagawa continues to 'Cry' and 'Beg', reaching out his hand to her, to which she quickly was about to grab

"Don't worry, I promise to make sure you get back to your Mama, and maybe after you are safe and sound, we can go out to eat pancakes together, doesn't that just sound awes-"

As soon as Nora just barely touched the tip of his fingers, all of her senses, smell, touch, sight, hearing and even taste, it was all overwhelmed with the sensation of pure and absolute DESPAIR, such a darkness feeling was way too much for her, so much so that she couldn't help but suddenly fall back and back away from the Minus as fast as she can, shaking, sweating and breathing quickly from so much fear, her heart pounding and beating so fast that it could be heard without placing an ear on her chest

"「U-Um, are you ok?」"

When Nora Valkyrie looked back at Kumagawa, instead of seeing someone who needed her help, all she saw was Crawling Chaos, a Nightmarish Kafka, A Minus Among Minuses, and most of all, she saw someone that she needs to absolutely stay away from, and she does just that, quickly getting back up to her feet and running away from like there was no tomorrow, leaving behind a confused Misogi, and making a certain professor, who was watching the whole thing, very upset and angry

'「Ah, right, I almost forgot that I'm a monster to all these Normals」'

Kumagawa looked at his hands and hummed softly, looking it over and shaking it gently before putting it back down and letting out an exhausted sigh

'「Hmph, looks like I need to save myself, while making myself look weak, which is basically being myself, heh」'

Kumagawa, after a bit of 'Struggling', was able to flip himself over on his front and was ready to start crawling to the place where he came from, or was specifically thrown from, but when he reached forward to grab something to help him get started with his crawling, he instead grabbed onto a furry black leg, this made him look up and realize that he was grabbing onto an alpha wolf like Grimm, who just growl and glare at him

'「Ah... I guess I'm gonna meet the Brothers again very soon」'
