3RD PERSON POV

Y/N: So you want me to train you?

Y/N went outside to an empty field, taking off his shirt to train only for his girlfriends to follow him.

Velvet: *nod* Yes! I-I can't rely on my weapon and semblance all the time! I want to be strong to catch up with you and my teammates!

Revy: What's your semblance?

Velvet: Photographic memory. I can copy the movements of people.

Revy: *grin* Damn girl!

Meanwhile Bernadette looks at Y/N weirdly, seeing the horrific scars along his body but doesn't say anything.

Bernadette: Semblance?

Velvet: W-Well you see here...

Velvet explains the basic powers of her world with Bernadette curiously listening as she takes everything in.

Later

Bernadette: So let me get this straight. Everyone in your world has some form of power with aura and semblances?

Velvet: *thumbs up* Yup!

Bernadette: *ponder* Very interesting.......

Y/N: What's your weapon Velvet?

Velvet: *hold* My camer- hey!

Revy snatches her camera from her hands and takes a look at it.

*SHAKE*

Revy: *confused* How the hell is a camera a weapon? What kinda bullshit does it use?

Velvet: I-It uses hard light dust to produce weapons using my semblance!

Revy: *grin* Damn...any downsides girl?

Velvet: *sheepish* I have to take a photo of a weapon in order to produce the weapon and I can really only use it once so I have to take another photograph to use it again.

Y/N: Yeah that is not gonna work in the long run......

He turns to Velvet and starts asking her questions.

Y/N: What kind of weapon do you......usually copy and use?

Velvet: Scythes, guns, gauntlets, energy swords, rapiers, kantanas, hammers, many kinds.

Y/N: What weapon do you have the most experience with?

Velvet: Well....*ponder* hmmmm....a sword.

Y/N: *ponder* Swords it is.....ok so right now you will not be using your weapon since we have no dust literally whatsoever so you'll be using these.

*WOOSH*

Two HF blades materialize in his hands as he hands them both to Velvet.

Y/N: I got plenty of weapons back in my storage so we can take our time trying-

Velvet takes them and starts swinging them around, testing the weight of the blade.

Velvet: *curious* It's surprisingly light for a metal blade........what kind of blade is it?

Y/N: One of the cybernetic HF blades I made. Basically a metal blade that resonates at high frequency vibrations, weakening the molecular bond nearly instantly on everything it touche-

Revy: *yawn* Hurry up with the fancy shit!

Y/N: Touches so it can cut through almost any kind of metal no matter how thick it is.

Revy: *impressed* Ok that is some overpowered bullshit.

Velvet: Really?.....*worry* Isn't it dangerous?

Y/N: *yawn* Relax you said that everyone has aura right?

Velvet: *nervous* Yeah....

Y/N: So this will just knock them out. On the other hand, mechs and stuff won't fare so well......yeah. If you break their aura don't swing again.

Velvet: *sigh* This will do.....

They then walk to the other side of the empty field and then face each other.

Y/N: Is this far enough?

Velvet: *nod* Yea- *confused*wait what are we doing?

Y/N: We will be sparring now.

Velvet:

Huh?

Later

Brook: What a coincidence...we meet again Ashe. What are you doing here?

Ashe: Satan has been occupied with matters beyond my understanding so he has become very lenient with reaper business...'WHY CAN'T I KILL?!'

Chase: Out here?

Ashe: *shrug* Why not human?

Scarlet: *sigh* Can we please calm down for-

*SLICE*

The nearby tree was sliced in half by a shockwave, revealing Velvet and Y/N as they come into view, locking their blades against each other.

Y/N: What if your opponent is stronger then you?

*CLANG*

Velvet swings her sword in a cross sideways only to get easily parried by Y/N who was using Soul Eater.

*WOOSH*

Y/N: Try again Velvet....your footwork is too rigid at the moment.

*BOOM**

Velvet grits her teeth in frustration and throws out a kick as Y/N does the same, bouncing off of each other though Velvet was starting to tremble.

Y/N: Utilizing your legs is important but you wouldn't want to risk them too much in such a compromised position.

*CLANG*

Y/N: Very good.......but not good enough.

SPEED INCREASING

*CLANG*

His speed suddenly increases and now Velvet was on the defensive, trying to parry, dodge and weave to no effect. Her aura crackled under the intense pressure as despite blocking each and every blow, she was being sent back meter by meter.

*BAM*

Y/N twirls his sword and manages to disarm both hers simultaneously. Reaching out, he dodges a swing before holding her hand and using Aikido to flip her onto the ground and points his sword at her.

Y/N: Surrender Velvet!

Velvet: *sigh* I surrender.

Y/N helps her up and after stabbing his sword into the ground rubs her head affectionately, earning a quiet purr.

Y/N: *concerned* I didn't hurt you too bad did I?

Velvet: *purr* I'm fine. My aura protected me.....so our spar is over?

Y/N: Yeah. The swords I gave to you are definitely in your forte. However you will need to develop your own sword style seeing as you only copy from others. You are very efficient in versatility but you do need to be stronger strength wise and of course you need to be faster.

Velvet: *nod* I understand Y/N.

Y/N: Very well......*nod*let's head bac-

Chase: Uhhhhhh.....Y/N?

He turns to find Chase standing there, looking at him weirdly along with the other reapers.

Y/N: It's just training.

Brook: *brow raised* With swords?

Y/N: Yes. I'll be going back now though so see y'all later.

They all grab their weapons and quickly walk away leaving them alone in the middle of the woods.

Ashe:.....Well that just happened.

Later

Revy: *groan* How the fuck are you stupidly strong?

Y/N gave a good idea for Revy to have literally infinite ammo which quite literally drove her crazy with excitement. She was so excited she challenged Y/an to a fight and after an hour of nonstop fighting she was left lying in the ground in exhaustion.

Y/N: Sit-ups and plenty of juice. Plus training with the gods and all.

Revy: *pant* Fucking hell.....So how did I do?

Y/N: You are proficient with guns and close quarter combat....you can definitely work with speed and strength although you won't be as strong as me.....hmmmm....

Revy: No shit Sherlock...*yawn* I'll just lay here......

Y/N: Alright.....

He then turns to Bernadette who sits up after watching the entire spectacle.

Y/N: Um........*rubs head* I don't really expect you to join training.....but if you want to-

Bernadette: *clears throat* I would like to join this little training exercise of yours.

Y/N: Are you sure?

Bernadette: *nod* Of course.

Y/N: Very well then.

They both went onto the opposite sides of the empty field. But strangely when Bernadette revealed her two wings, Y/N never brought out any of his weapons.

Bernadette: *confused* What are you doing?

Y/N: Unlike what you saw in hell, I don't usually use weapons.

Bernadette: I could see that in your fight with the clown...but are you sure you don't need a weapon?

Y/N: *grin* Nah I got this. Have some faith in me will ya?

Bernadette: *sigh* Very well then.

*BOOM*

She suddenly flies towards Y/N, kicking him as he blocks her blow.

Y/N: Don't hold back on me.

Bernadette: I don't plan to.

Later

Azrael: *deep breath* Ah~ What a beautiful day~

Azrael can be seen walking across the woods, enjoying the quiet nature as the animals went about their way

Azrael: Hmm.....Bernadette has been very lenient on her duty. She most certainly is now together with Y/N and spending a lot of time with him......I can't help but feel proud that she finally found some sense of happiness.

He waves his hands into the air, catching a bird that rests on his pointer finger.

Azrael: But I'm worried....Celeste only knows that they are friends. As the superior, she will most certainly object to their relationship when she finds out sooner or later.......how strong is Y/N though really? Bernadette will most certainly not give up so she'll end up fighting Celeste over Y/N.....can Y/N really handle the first archangel?.......I sense unlimited power in him so he might be able to...

Azrael: I wonder how they're both doing by the way-

*BOOM*

Bernadette suddenly crashes onto the ground in front of him with 4 wings, startling Azrael. She flips out the way just as Y/N crashes down with a thunderous boom and picking the nearby boulder hurls it at Bernadette as she slices through them with a massive glass shard

Bernadette: I commend you for being a powerful opponent but this is where it ends!

Hundreds and thousands of mirror shards floated in the sky above her in various different sizes. Before Azrael could react, she sends them flying straight to Y/N knowing he will live this even if he gets injured......although...

*CLANG*

Bernadette: *shock* How?!

Y/N: *smirk* You don't think I have experience with these kind of attacks?

Y/N continues to deflect the hail of shards despite Bernadette's best efforts to get past his defenses. Seeing an opening however, he suddenly disappears from her view as she stops her attack and looks around for him.

Bernadette: Where are yo-

Y/N: ABOVE YOU!

Y/N rockets down from the air, catching her by surprise as he tackles her down onto the ground, lifting the landscape around them as a dust cloud forms over them.

Y/N: Give up Bernadette! I got the high ground now!

Bernadette: *red* Y-Y/N.....

Y/N: *confused* What's wrong......oh.

They were both in an awkward position, with Y/N pinning her down onto the ground by a hand being on her shoulder while he was on top of her, their faces barely a few inches away from each other.

Y/N: *chuckle* Sorry.....

Bernadette: *sigh I concede...I never thought someone like you can match me while using a portion of my power on my 4 wings....you are holding back too aren't you?

Y/N: Of course I-

Azrael: Well look what we have here~

Azrael grins, seeing their compromised position as Y/N froze.

Y/N: *panic* This isn't what it looks like!

Azrael: *grin* Oh....this is exactly what it looks like~

Bernadette shoves Y/N off with her face red as she stands up.

Bernadette: W-What are you doing here?!

Azrael: I was taking a stroll in the woods....until you two barged in out of nowhere. What were you two doing by the way?

Bernadette: *sigh* Testing our abilities in the form of a spar.

Azrael: *interested* You must be strong Y/N if you held back and still managed to match an archangel with 4 wings.

Y/N: I am capable Azrael.

Azrael: But you two should be careful though. Celeste could've sense the power surge.

Bernadette: I made sure to suppress my power enough for her to take no notice.

Azrael: Besides that, she will demand for this to stop if she finds out you two are in a relationship. *concern* Are you sure you want to do this?

Bernadette: Yes.....for the first time, I want to.

Azrael: *grin* I see...I'll be on my way now.

He disappears into a flash leaving Y/N who was alarmed at the realization.

Y/N: Celeste will object?

Bernadette: *sigh* She's.......blindly devoted to her duty and we often come into conflict with each other. If she finds out.......,

Y/N: She'll force you to cut ties with me because it's hindering your duty to God. If you refuse things will end badly since she's stronger than yours

Bernadette: *sigh* I.....can't. I can't just leave you....but I don't want you to get hurt-

Y/N wraps her in a hug and they both stand there, quietly enjoying each other's presence.

Y/N: Don't worry....we'll be together....I'll make sure of it.

Bernadette: I-I don't want this to end Y/N.....I don't want to lose you......

Y/N: I know......but when the time comes.....

Y/N: I'll promise to protect you.
