Arc Of Embodiment

Five Years. In the last five years, Jaune trained the best he could. His body was lean and toned. If one looks closer at Jaune's hands, there is a mark on the back of them. This symbol is a seal for his strength. When he releases his power, the mark on his hand will extend around his arms, indicating how much power he is unleashing.

There are a few things to note about the seal. First, it only seals his physical strength, not his magical energy. Therefore, he can freely use his AoE. Second, the mark acts as storage. Jaune can store anything that isn't a living thing inside, except for plants. Lastly, the mark is the one responsible for maintaining a spell that mimics the ability of Aura. Shielding, Healing and Physical Enhancements. Jaune has learned long ago that Aura was a degraded version of Remnant's magic. The mark can produce the Aura Mimic with finite energy to make it look like Jaune was an ordinary person. Meaning, just like other people's Aura, Jaune's Aura Mimic would deplete over extended use, but if Jaune wants to, he can re-cast Aura Mimic as much as he needs.

For five years, Jaune has been training in the warehouse that he created in the back of his family's house. He trained in unarmed and armed combat. The martial arts that he learned aren't the usual ones found in his old world…well, they can be found in his old world, but in books rather than the real world.

Jaune knew that he needed more than just training with bots that he created. He needed real-world experience if he wanted to get stronger. Plus, he wants to explore Remnant.

During the five years of training, Jaune didn't just physically train himself. He also studied different things such as engineering, medicine, etc.… And along with having seven sisters, Jaune learned many skills such as cooking, dancing, singing, etc.…That's because he would always be caught by his siblings whenever they wanted to practice their chosen craft. Of course, Jaune could escape their grasp whenever he wanted, but he enjoyed helping his sisters.

Currently, Jaune was packing his things. He was putting everything he needed inside of his storage mark. Although Jaune could make this with his AoE, he wants to limit its usage during this training trip. He didn't want to over-rely on it.

After putting everything he needed in the mark, Jaune then activated something, and his arms were covered in a bluish-silver form-fitting fingerless gauntlet. This was Jaune's primary close-quarter weapon. It has retractable claws like wolverine thanks to its nanomachine design. The main body is crafted from Vibranium, and the retractable claws are made from Proto-Adamantium. As for long-range, Jaune has Tauropolos: Bow of Heaven.

A few minutes later, Jaune finished packing, and he was ready to leave the house, but his eldest sister Saphron and her fiancé, Terra, was waiting for him at the front door.

"Saph, Terra. Why are you up this late? Aren't you two supposed to be asleep already?" Jaune asked.

"Obviously, we lied about going to bed. Jaune, I knew you were up to something, but I didn't think it was this serious. Why are you doing this?" Saphron asked with a worried tone.

"You both know that my dream is to become a Huntsman. If I'm here, in this house, where dad lives, I won't be able to achieve that dream. I don't know why dad is so against me becoming a Huntsman, but no matter what, I'll fulfil my dream," Jaune said with determination. This determination is what made Saphron, and Terra fall in love with him, and if you include the way he is, being supportive of their relationship, thoughtful, helpful and caring, the two ladies couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Terra loves Saphron, but for some reason, ever since she met Jaune, she slowly fell in love with him. Saphron knew about all this. She told her everything. There wasn't a single secret between the two. That would mean that Saphron also told Terra of her ɨnċėstuous feelings for her brother.

"D-Do you have to do something this drastic?" Saphron asked worryingly.

"I do...Saph, being a Huntsman, is a serious occupation. Huntsmen and Huntresses are the ones that pave a path for the future of Remnant. Without them, the creatures of Grimm would have long since overrun the whole of Remnant. But due to their presence, they gave hope to people in despair. Hope for a better future, hope for a better life. That's why I must leave. Not just because I want to train, but because I want to make a difference. And to make a difference, I need to know what Remnant needs to bring forth a better tomorrow," Jaune said with all his heart.

"This, Jaune…is the reason that both Terra and I fell in love with you," Saphron said with a loving expression that shows just how much she truly loved Jaune, not as a sister but as a woman. But then it turned into a horror-stricken face.

"Eh?" Jaune was shocked beyond belief. Being a man from Earth isn't the reason that he was shocked by Saphron's revelation. It's the fact that he lived with her for so long, and he didn't even notice that two people were in love with him.

"Hold on a minute!" Jaune shouted in a low tone. "You're both in love with me?! Aren't you both tying the knot next year? How could you both be in love with me?"

Saphron was about to faint. She didn't mean to tell Jaune about how she truly felt about him. She wanted to explain, but no words would come out of her mouth.

"It's true that I love Saphron, Jaune. But we both have a special place in our hearts for you," Terra explained. "We've talked about how we feel for you and what we should do. We planned to tell you how we felt, but Saph was afraid that you would feel weird and disgusted about how she felt about you. That's why we held off telling you. But then, a few days ago, Saphron realised that you were up to something. We just both didn't think it would be something this serious. I guess, due to the situation, Saphron ended up blurting her true feelings".

"Saph? Is this true? Do you have such feelings for me?" Jaune asked, but Saphron couldn't answer. Jaune then cupped her cheeks with his hands and said, "Saph, you don't have to worry about the things that you're afraid of. I would never find you disgusting or weird."

Hearing the words that Jaune said, Saphron was able to calm down. She then looked at Jaune and nodded her head.

"It's true. Everything that Terra said is true… Jaune? Do you think less of me for feeling this way for you?" Saphron said. This made Jaune chuckle. Being a man from Earth, this was unacceptable, but Jaune didn't care for such things. He even enjoyed reading books about it.

"No, I don't, Saph. I would never think less of you…How about this. One year. In one year, I will return from my training trip around Remnant. I will return the day you both get married. If you both still have feelings for me even when I'm gone, I would like to give this kind of relationship a chance. What do you think?" Jaune said.

"That's a reasonable request," Terra said. Then in unison, "We accept".

With this, Jaune bid farewell to both Saphron and Terra. Jaune had a goal for this training trip. In six months, he hopes to be in Menagerie, as it is the place that needs all the help it could get. At first, Jaune thought of helping Vacuo, but looking at it logically, Vacuo has their Huntsman to protect them. As for Menagerie, all they had was untrained members of the White Fang.. Therefore, Jaune's destination was Menagerie, and he would do what he could to help those in need along the way.
