ch 43*

"Akane Drayer, is it?" Ozpin asked the powerful yet mysterious individual in front of him. He heard of her exploits, the Genius of Mistral, the Grimm-Slayer of Remnant, she got pretty famous around the world in the last two years. However, she's never been in any visual records. She's clever and hides her abilities very well.

"I'm not Drayer anymore. I'm sure you know my parents are worked to death. I am just Akane now"

Her tone doesn't contain any anger, it's more of an inconvenience which rang many alarm bells in Ozpin's head. A person who doesn't care and is extremely strong is a deadly combination.

"Very well, Akane. You know you just attempted murder right? They are criminals, yes, but murder is still murder, even if it is attempted. Granted they escaped but you still committed a crime"

Ozpin looked at the potential enemy/ally. He knew her skills are top-tier, he liked the weapon she made, and he did some little research on her. According to the principal of sanctum, Akane is the undefeated champion of Sanctum, She made her weapon before she joined the academy and that means when she was just 9 or 10 which speaks to how high her IQ is. The number of quality weapons he can get from her in the next war with Salem will be helpful for him.

He want Akane as an Ally at any cost and he had to play his cards right. He tried to lift her spear but it alone needed a high effort, the fact that Akane used that spear skillfully even in her younger years to absolutely decimate her opponents including the four times invincible champion Pyrrha Nikos speaks of her importance as an Asset and the threat if Salem took her in.

He decided to play her in his palms very carefully. He needs strong allies like her.

However.....

Akane gave a smile, a disturbing one which send shivers running down the spines of both Glynda and Ozpin.

She activated her scroll and showed both of them their....mistake or more like an experiment, the fact that Ozpin agreed to let Ironwood use humans and Faunus as....lab rats for their little experiment to transfer life force from one body to another, specifically Amber's to another even if the innocent die. It is morally wrong, he knows it but...it is for the greater good.

Glynda began to sweat due to the tension of what if the video gets out, while Ozpin is also tensed he is warier of Akane now. He understood she is extremely dangerous, as he grasped her plan. They are in the palm of her hands now.

"I wonder.... How the world will see this, using innocent as lab rats. For the greater good? yes. But murder is still murder, even if it is attempted. Granted, some experimented people may survive but you still committed a crime"

Ozpin understood one thing when the same words were used against him....he provoked the wrong person.

"Hahahahahaha! Y..You sh..should have seen your faces now. Haha"

Akane began to laugh for some time while both the headmaster and Glynda froze. This is an extremely sensitive case now, they don't know if she knows even more than they think she knows. They don't want to make a wrong move.

Akane finally stopped laughing and looked both of them seriously in the eye, her glowing reptilian eyes causing them to feel tense.

"I don't care what you do to others. To be frank, you can slaughter the entire world for all I care. What I want to warn you is, don't come near Pyrrha. Ozpin, think of manipulating Pyrrha like you manipulated Ruby. Not only this, every piece of information on Maidens and every piece of information I have on your little brotherhood will be publicly released. To be honest, it is already there, I just have to give a command. Now, release me and behave as if nothing happened"

Shortly after, Akane is released from the interrogation room. Qrow looked at her leaving with confusion. He just came from his mission after hearing ruby got in trouble. He saw Ruby with the Crimson hair girl, he felt like he saw her somewhere but couldn't remember where.

As soon as she left, Ozpin took Glynda and Qrow outside where there are no cameras while he ordered them to leave their scrolls in the station.

"Ozpin, what is happening? Why are you both sweating"

Ozpin told what happened, leaving the details about experiments using innocent. Qrow may not like it just like he did not but Qrow is slightly emotional.

"So, she knows everything about us and has every recording of our meeting and threatened you to leave her alone"

Qrow sighed, from what he understood. The tall kid is both Strong and highly intelligent. A deadly combination and she's studying in the same year as Ruby and Yang.

"So, what now?" He doesn't really like that they are in someone else's control now.

"We won't be using CCT from now on to hold secret meetings. It is compromised. If she can hack it, then I can see someone from Salem side do the same"

"Then how will we hold meetings in the future?"

"The old fashion way, we meet in a secret spot. I don't want to take chances that someone else can do the same. Also, we should increase the security and update the CCT"

"Did you find anything about Raven?" Ozpin asked hopefully. He needed to find her to ask about spring maiden. He has a hunch that she has spring maiden. It's a wild guess but at least he can be relieved that a maiden is in close proximity to him.

Sadly, Qrow himself doesn't know "don't know Oz, the entire tribe vanished before I can track them and they never appeared again"

"Sigh, Very well. Search for the maiden then along with the attackers of Amber"

With that, all of them were dismissed.

'You got to be kidding me, this is definitely an anime world or at least a cartoon world'

Akane saw five people who are extremely outlined compared to others, they stand out like her but for different reasons flying along with her in the bullhead.

'Red riding hood, Goldilocks, Snow White, That faunus I met in Menagerie must be beauty and the beast reference and the golden boy said his name is Jaune arc. So, it's easy to say he's Jaune of the arc reference.....This is still a post-apocalyptic world. Guess, something interesting will happen soon. After that, I will then go and meet the gods, I want the Grimm in my new world I created. It's efficient to make the darkness god my slave, while I will think about what to do with the light god. I definitely don't want humans in my world, maybe I can add some other new races from other worlds soon'

Glynda gave an official announcement while Akane is thinking about when to enslave the gods.
