[POV Switch]
Ozpin calmly held a mug of coffee in his hand as he watched the Atlesian Airship carefully dock itself into the private landing port, sipping the drink as he stood as close as safely possible to the landing strip.
He couldn’t afford to stand any further, not while welcoming the most important ‘guest’ Vale has welcomed since its conception.
Agito Spectralon.
A twin-feature faunus.
A master of deception, even against the Queen of Grimm herself.
A user of True Magic, beyond that of the Maidens themselves.
In other words, Ozpin’s biggest chance at victory yet since his prime so many centuries ago.
Yes, even with his magical might reduced to mere embers, he believed.
Even with the Imperator and its Scion disappearance so long ago, he believed.
Even with the revelation that his precious circle turned out to have traitors…
He believed that Agito was enough to turn the tides against Salem.
The only problem was…
How would he convince the misguided boy that he wasn’t the villainous mastermind that he was so sure Ozpin was?
“MY BABY!” Ozpin calmly sipped his coffee again as the woman to his right wailed again, desperately trying to rush at the Atlesian Airship and likely tear it to shreds searching for the boy inside.
Indeed, he was not alone here.
To his left was an almost catatonic Qrow chugging alcohol to try to tune everything out… and probably drown out his sorrows. He falters as he goes for another swig, only to realize he already drained everything in his flask. His sorrows only seemed to increase, unfortunately.
On his right was a pair of women currently struggling desperately for different reasons.
Summer was fighting against an unseen force as she used every ounce of her strength in her body to try to break free so she could rush to the Airship. In her hands was her signature battleaxe, ready to shred through the Airship’s metal walls as soon as she broke free.
Next to her was a profusely sweating Glynda desperately keeping the World’s Strongest Huntress from causing them a grievous debt by destroying the very, very expensive Atlesian Airship. It was quite surprising to see her physically sweating when she was standing perfectly still and holding Summer in place using her Telekinesis, but that was simply a testament to Summer’s power that she could make a person exhibit a physical reaction while using a mental power against her, Ozpin surmised.
Just as Glynda’s control began to slip and Summer took a step forward, their struggle was brought to a halt as the sound of something slamming against the door to the Airship caught their attention.
A visible dent was now on the Airship’s door, bulging out of the previously flat sheets of metal.
BOOM!
A moment later, the door of the Airship came flying off as Glynda’s already pale face lost any color remaining on it.
“N-No… All that effort…” Her strangled whisper was barely audible, but Ozpin easily caught it as he calmly sipped his coffee again.
A pair of ears could be seen from the door, tilted horizontally, as if their owner forgot they existed while trying to peek from the side of the door. Slowly, the familiar yet unique golden eyes of a certain raccoon menace peeked out from the side of the Airship’s door.
“AGITO!” Summer immediately called for him as soon as he was in sight, immediately breaking into a sprint now that Glynda was too horrified to keep restraining her.
“Summer!” Agito exclaimed in joy, immediately running out of the Airship to meet Summer halfway as Ozpin couldn’t suppress his amusement.
“Summer! Summer! Summer!” x??
That amusement was naturally suppressed by itself as an uncountable number of Agitos also peeked their head out of the door, spotted Summer, and began sprinting towards her like a pack of rabid raccoons.
Summer’s face was stuck between horrified and overjoyed at the overflowing tide of Agitos sprinting at her, her eyes closing in acceptance as she smiled softly and calmly accepted her fate.
Slowly, she extended her arms out to receive her judgement… and disappeared into a sea of fluff and rabid raccoons.
An honorable and peaceful death.
Ozpin couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw Summer disappear beneath the pile of eager Agitos, looking like a woman who just saw heaven and went there all at once.
Even the exasperated and exhausted Glynda couldn’t suppress a tiny smile at the comedic sight… Qrow, on the other hand, was still checking his flask for any drop of alcohol it could spare while looking like a kicked… err… drunkard.
Still, he and Glynda quickly followed as Ozpin began approaching the pile of Agitos drowning Summer. Ozpin lowered his coffee in front of his chest, as a precaution in case he needed to sip it in an emergency, and cleared his throat to capture the attention of the Agitos.
His attempt was clearly successful as every Agito in sight, piling over Summer or not, immediately turned to him with straightened, tense ears and widened, glowing golden eyes, like a confronted raccoon in the night.
It almost looked like they were about to attack him…
“I must say, it’s been quite the journey trying to find you and bring you here, Mr. Spectralon…” Ozpin began while speaking to Agito just as he would with any of his students, smiling warmly with all the grace of the Headmaster of Beacon Academy.
“You may already be aware, but my name is Ozpin, Headmaster of-” “THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE!”
Before Ozpin could finish his introduction, an Agito hiding within the pile swarming Summer suddenly launched himself out from the rest of the pile, holding an unknown weapon unlike anything Agito has been shown to have as a ray of pink light shot out of the weapon and-
Ozpin dropped his second favorite mug in shock as he stared down to find… Breasts.
“Mission Success! VICTORY TO THE AGITOS! HURRAH!” Agito screamed victoriously while raising the weapon into the air like a warrior who’s just survived the most gruesome battle in the history of Mankind.
“HURRAH!!!!!!” x??
Tempest – The Waifu Maker [200 CP - Highschool DxD]
[Here. I know you want it, no need to be shy. Heh. Exactly, this is a gender-swapping raygun, and it does exactly what you think it does. Comes with a varied array of options and settings, from temporal swap, to permanent, to changing the perspective of the victim. It can even alter their own and other’s memories to make the change retroactive. Incredibly powerful, but it can’t obviously affect beings without a gender.]
This feeling in their chest… Ozpin(?)’s eyes widened.
… Are these maternal instincts?
…

[POV Switch]
[100 CP Acquired!]
[Achievement: Encounter Ozma ‘The Tormented,’ face to face for the First Time! (150 CP added)]
The Agito with the Tempest in hand stood proud and smug as they stared at the newly genderbent Ozpin(Ozma? That’s what Salem said once too…), happy to have mitigated the disaster that would’ve happened had he not acted.
The next moment, he, and every other Agito present, immediately froze in place as an unseen force took hold of their entire bodies. Behind ‘Ozpin’, Glynda covered her mouth with one hand while extending the other at the Agitos.
“O-Oh my…” Glynda stared with a mixture of horror and fascination, her glasses slightly skewed as she failed to notice them with… everything happening.
To her shock, however, every Agito’s aura manifested with a stunning white & golden glow as they all broke Free of her control.
The newly-turned female Ozpin slowly collapsed to her knees, face frozen as she stared blankly at her ruined mug. However, unseen to anyone save for Agito, the energy around her began coalescing unnaturally, catching Agito’s attention as he ignored Glynda’s vain attempts to stop him with her telekinesis as if they didn’t exist in the first place.
CLANK!
Qrow’s attempt to slash at Agito was blocked by a feverish Summer, only barely recovered from her heavenly experience with autistic fluff. Agito calmly walked past the two as Qrow struggled against Summer’s weapon while also squirming at the piercing stare in her gaze despite her dazed smile.
Glynda’s physical attempt to block Agito is stopped as she’s tackled by a hoard of Agitos, immediately getting the ‘Summer Experience’ as she’s drowned in fluff and forced to gasp breathlessly as countless rabid raccoons keep her pinned.
Agito calmly approached the kneeling woman, left eye opening to reveal the already familiar tree-like pupil. He watched as the newly birthed magical energy of the world rushed into her vessel like an overflowing river as an orange orb slowly sinks into her body, filling out a rather massive gap in her essence that Agito could only see due to the ongoing transformation.
As he watched her true being unobscured, a certain binding around her essence immediately caught her attention. His ears stood ramrod straight as he recognized a ‘curse’ immediately, realizing that the reason for her ‘evilness’ may have been found by him!
Quickly, he extended a hand out to her forehead and gently caressed her head, his body glowing with his aura as he channeled it into her being.
“Let Your True Being Come Free.”
Agito commanded quietly as his authority over Freedom slowly filled her essence alongside the magic in the air and the orange sphere of mysterious energy.
To his surprise, an intense red sphere and a bright green one flew through the sky from different directions and joined the orange one as they slowly entered her body to fill up different parts of her hollow essence, helplessly trying to fill the massive void within her.
Agito narrowed his eyes a bit before suddenly summoning the Apartha Grimoire (name still undecided, Salem kinda interrupted that) and secretly bringing the Reality Stone out of his soul, where he stored it previously, and into his palm as he turned his Grimoire into a conduit of the Reality Stone’s power into him before using himself as a medium to send the power into the hollow void with the three spheres.
Veins of light and energy covered Agito’s body as he used himself to channel the boundless power of the Reality Stone, even with the help of his Grimoire to mitigate and store some of the overwhelming power. It was… painful, enough that he’d be usually rolling on the ground and crying for Willow, Summer, or Kali by now, if not for his focus on what he’s doing.
Just as he thought the void was just about full, Agito was surprised as a fourth sphere of blueish white appeared and entered the already-full void in her essence, sending some of Agito’s energy and magic out and making it flow through the rest of her body as the newly-awakened woman suddenly opened her eyes.
BOOOOM!
The woman, previously kneeling in front of Agito, disappeared at a speed too great for Agito to see before reappearing in the sky with her body releasing a shocking amount of energy and magic. A mere flex of her hand as she extended it forward caused a gale powerful enough that Agito felt it from the ground.
Suddenly, the already shocking level of magic being released from her body multiplied several fold as it shot out of her body and further into the sky like a beacon. At a certain height, it suddenly lit up and began expanding in every direction and down as an invisible dome of magic extended across the entirety of Vale, from what Agito could see.
Only once the dome fully settled after being thoroughly reinforced with an excessive amount of energy and magic did the overwhelming energy in the woman’s body finally settle as she took a deep breath after her work.

Uh-oh…
What did Agito do!?
The newly-named Ozlynn calmly began descending down after finally stabilizing her overflowing energy… by erecting a nationwide barrier around her country to protect it. Her eyes immediately locked-on to Agito’s location without any hesitation as she began hovering down towards him.
Deception glimmered in Agito’s innocent eyes as the Reality Stone returned into his inner soul, replaced by a berry of similar color hidden behind the perfectly placed, floating Grimoire that blocked Ozlynn’s vision from that angle.
Little did Agito know, unfortunately, the level that Ozlynn had reached was of a scale beyond such paltry tricks, if the soft smirk on her face suggested anything.
“Agito… What are you hiding from me?” She calmly spoke while landing in front of him, her voice still slightly magnified from the excessive magic brewing inside of her. Still, her voice held an undoubtedly… maternal edge that had Agito standing at attention, like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
“You’ll never take me alive!” Agito suddenly multiplied as a dozen clones of him began running in different directions to shake her off, still not fully convinced that she was free of bad intentions.
He didn’t get an achievement for redeeming her, after all!
To his shock, she easily ignored all of his clones and pinpointed his main body with horrifyingly Salem-like efficiency (could everyone just tell which was his main body these days??), instantly appearing behind him and grabbing him by the back of his collar as he was lifted into the air.
Then, her hand turned ethereal as she tried to reach into Agito’s soul space, barely getting a few fingers into his back before freezing as her hand stopped against her will.
Looking up, she saw Agito had somehow twisted his head back to look back at her, his eyes no longer blank and relaxed. They were sharp, widened in aggression and alarm, like a cornered beast preparing to fight to the death, if need be, to protect its home and its life. A distinct tree-like pattern replaced his normal dark pupil in his left eye, and the pattern was currently pulsing and vibrating in his eye as he prepared to fight.
Her hand shot out of his body as an energy construct in the shape of a trash can, not unlike that which he used to block Salem’s attack so long ago, surrounded his body and blocked her from reaching into it. The hand holding his collar let go of him after he forced her to as he landed on his feet, turning to look at her with the same aggressive expression.
The clones she had ignored when grabbing the main body didn’t remain idle either, reappearing around her in their mecha suit as they aimed twelve spears at her neck, a mere inch away from breaking skin, threatening her should she try to touch what wasn’t hers to take again.
The true Agito continued staring into her eyes for a few seconds as the aggression didn’t lessen whatsoever even as his trash can-shaped aura receded back into his body.
“... Did no one ever teach you not to reach into a raccoon’s private trash can?” Agito spoke with clear displeasure, eyes still shining with a promise of pain should anyone reach into his soul space again.
He would not be threatened in his own private domicile!
Ozlynn did not respond to Agito immediately, eyes widened with shock as she finally registered what she felt while reaching into Agito’s soul. Slowly, she raised her shaky hand up while staring at Agito as she seemed to realize just what he was just as Salem did in their last meeting.
Her shaky hand snapped, and the spears aimed at her neck snapped with her, breaking into pieces. Then, much like the spears, the mecha suits of the Agito clones all shattered and fell to the ground.
“... You’re not human.” Ozlynn murmured in fascination as she stared into Agito’s essence, stepping closer now after she disarmed the Agitos and no weapons were being aimed at her neck.
Unfortunately, the IDS mech was hardly Agito’s only choice in his vast arsenal. All the Agitos quickly blocked her with their Relic of Vengeance, aiming the sharp tip at her as they surrounded her. In the main Agito’s hand, Durandal appeared as the space between him and Ozpin was cut down by the massive sword, which was bigger than Agito himself.
Then, rather than Agito holding the weapon, a blonde girl appeared where the blade was, wielding a different, less unique blade aimed at Ozlynn as she stood guard in front of Agito, allowing him to focus on the Apartha Grimoire as he prepared for the hardest battle since his birth in Remnant.
Ozlynn snapped her fingers again.
A shining line of magic leaves Agito’s left eye as he nullifies Ozlynn’s attempt to shatter the Relic of Vengeance of all the Agitos just as she shattered IDS, barely stopping her masterful usage of magical power with his otherwise inexperienced abilities as his left eye winced from the strain. Only through Mimi, Apartha Grimoire, and her lack of preparation was he able to stop her.
Still, the shocked look on her face as the child in front of her nullified her magic was more than worth the pain. Agito tensed as she prepared to snap her fingers again, left eye releasing an excessive amount of magic that may or may not hurt really bad-
“Agito!” Summer called out worriedly, making Agito immediately turn to look at her in alarm as he watched her sprint towards them.
“Stop-” Agito heard Durandal's command before she was silenced as Ozlynn passed through her weapon, body, and the numerous Agitos around like they didn’t exist before extending her hand out to Agito…
Agito’s head snapped back as fast as it could as he prepared to activate his aura again-
… and patted his head.
“I’m sorry.”
“...”
Agito paused, flabbergasted at the sudden change in the woman.
Ozlynn slowly got down so she could look up at Agito while still patting his head, smiling as she saw the confusion on his face.
“I didn’t realize the mistake I was committing when I reached into your… aura.” She admitted apologetically, genuine shame on her face. “It’s been too long since I last held the power to do such a thing; I forgot the proper etiquette for such a thing… especially with a cute little thing like you.”
“You’re no better than Salem,” Agito bluntly accused as she flinched at being compared to her but didn’t deny his words, nodding weakly with an apologetic smile.
Salem took his Ocarina of Time. Salem took the Relic of Treasures. Ozlynn tried to take his Reality Stone.
“I’m sorry.” She repeated, lowering her hand from his head to his cheek as she gently caressed his face. “I’ll never try to take your ‘Shiny’ without permission again.”
“...” Agito didn’t reply verbally, still staring down at her with a piercing gaze.
“Do you lie?” Agito checked for Deception as he stared directly into her eyes, watching as she blinked in surprise before smiling as she recognized what he did using her senses.
“I don’t. I’ll never try to take your ‘Shiny’ without permission, I promise.” She restated, watching as Agito’s ears relaxed a little at her words.
She wasn’t lying.
“What happened?” Summer finally interjected and grabbed Agito, pulling him away from Ozlynn as she stared at the genderbent Headmaster (Headmistress?) with clear befuddlement. “Agito… what did you do?”
Qrow and Glynda, free from the combined assault of Summer and the Agitos, also approached as they listened in, staring at the ethereal form of Ozlynn with astonishment as they watched her float back to her feet from the ground.
“Old, untrustworthy ‘Greater Good’ man trope does not exist widely for women.” Agito proudly explained to Summer while staring up at her with a smirk, finally calm enough to return Apartha Grimoire to his waist. “Now, she's a deceptively young headmistress lady who’s incompetent at paperwork and offloads it to her assistant while sipping on her drink to look wise and competent.”
At his words, Ozlynn looked back with widened eyes just as Glynda looked at her with exasperation, making Ozlynn send her a sheepish smile as they crossed eyes.
“... So you finally don’t think he’s… she’s some evil mastermind?” Summer asked with a hint of incredulity, making Agito tilt his head in a so-so gesture.
“It’s possible she’s still bad… but I think she’s gonna be better since I removed the curse on her.” Agito explained thoughtfully before remembering how he broke the curse that was on her. Surely that meant she wasn’t bad anymore, right?
“Curse?” Summer’s eyebrows rose as she turned to look at Ozlynn, finding the woman staring at Agito with shock.
“You… removed my curse?” Ozlynn asked slowly, horror and relief covering her face in equal measure.
That was… terrible news, but also meant that she was finally free.
“Yeah? It was a blight on you. It felt like it was decaying you from the inside…” Agito tilted his head, confused on why she’d look upset whatsoever with losing something that didn’t seem to have any upsides whatsoever.
He hadn’t a clue what it did, but it didn’t seem good!
“Oz… err…” Glynda began, before pausing as she realized the name she was about to call her didn’t fit anymore.
“Ozlynn.” Agito helpfully provided, using the name that the Grimoire gave him.
“... Ozlynn.” Glynda nodded slowly, accepting the name with the grace of someone extremely confused at the moment. Still, she focused her attention on Ozlynn as her eyebrows furrowed in worry. “Was that curse…”
“... My reincarnation, yes,” Ozlynn confirmed, staring at her soft and small hands with a complicated expression. “We’ve only got one shot now.”
“How many years?” Glynda asked worriedly, knowing Ozpin was already less than half a century away from biting the dust.
“... Erm. A few centuries.”
“...”
“... Maybe more.”
Ozlynn flinched as Glynda smacked her with her riding crop repeatedly, angrily releasing her frustration after Ozlynn made her worry needlessly.
“You’re gonna outlive my grandkids and you’re talking about ‘one shot’!?” Glynda angrily exclaimed while smacking Ozlynn’s head again with her riding crop, her face flushed with fury and frustration.
“I wish I had one shot right now…” Qrow tiredly added, still sorrowful over his empty flask even after everything that happened.
Agito blinked owlishly before leaving Summer’s arms, taking a water bottle from another Agito and walking up to Qrow.
“Here.” Agito offered the water bottle to Qrow, making him blink and stare down at him in surprise.
“Ah… Thanks, kiddo, but I’ll pass. I meant alc..ohol…” Qrow offered Agito a weak smile and shook his head, reaching for the bottle to push it back, only to freeze as the previously transparent liquid began transforming into something more red.
“I don’t know any other alcohols except Willow’s 100-year-old red wine from her private collection. She caught me before I could try any other ones.” Agito shamelessly admitted as Qrow took the offered bottle with shaky hands, eyes widened in fascination.
“I-I’m not usually a wine type of guy, but…” Qrow slowly brought the bottle to his lips while trying his best not to let a drop spill from how shaky his hands were, carefully taking a swig of the precious nectar. “O-Oh… Oh fuck.”
“Language!”
“Oh, sorry kiddo.” Qrow responded on instinct, just as he would with little Ruby, still dazed after drinking liquid gold out of this plastic water bottle. He only recognized his error after taking another sip of the precious drink, blinking as he saw Agito still staring up at him. “Can I-”
He found an axe aimed at his neck.
“No.” Summer firmly denied.
“But the boy likes exploring for ‘Shiny’ or whatever! Who better to assign him to than the guy you send across the world doing fuck-all!?” Qrow protested vehemently despite the axe at his neck as he placed a hand on Agito’s head to pat him.
“Language!”
“Sorry kiddo.” Qrow apologized again.
“Agito will NOT be assigned to a drunkard like you!” Summer firmly refused, pushing her axe down a little more on Qrow’s chest as he winced. “I’ll be taking Agito to Patch so he can stay safe and interact with kids his age for once!”
“But I do interact with kids my age?” Agito tilted his head in confusion as Summer suggested that he didn’t have any friends his age.
“You do?” Summer asked incredulously while turning to him, allowing Qrow to step away from her alarmingly close axe.
“Yeah, Jinhsi!” Agito confirmed, stating the name of his… only friend his age, really.
The adults all froze.
“... Lady Magistrate?” Summer asked warily as Agito nodded. “How the heck do you know the Magistrate of Menagerie??”
“I landed in Menagerie first before I got to Atlas.” Agito casually revealed, making Summer recoil at his bluntness.
“How??” Qrow asked, genuinely confused how Agito has been everywhere despite only leaving Summer’s side for a few weeks.
“I jumped through a rift or something while running from Salem after leaving Summer and ended up in Menagerie.” Ozlynn’s head snapped to Agito at his confession, face paling dangerously.
“A Dust Cluster… in Vale.” Her voice was a mere whisper, as if wishing billions upon billions of credits goodbye after they were used to fuel the rift Agito went through. “... Actually, forget that.”
Upon remembering who it was that used the Dust, and who he was escaping from, Ozlynn was more than satisfied with the wasted money.
Agito has demonstrated his value and importance quite thoroughly by now, and it was vastly more than a little dust (billions worth).
It’s just a shame she hadn’t known of such a concentration of Dust beforehand… She would’ve been able to get at least five more mugs.
“And you met the Lady Magistrate there?” Summer asked next, a foreboding feeling entering her chest.
“No, I met Kali first before Jinhsi arrived.” Agito shook his head as Summer’s face twitched at the mention of the… motherly wife of the Menagerie Chieftain.
This wouldn’t do!
This would not STAND!
“Oh, was the former General Secretary there too, then?” Qrow asked curiously as Summer’s already paling face paled further. “Changli, I mean.”
“Oh! Yeah, pretty bird lady was there.” Agito was slightly confused who ‘General Secretary’ was for a moment, but immediately nodded once Qrow said her name.
Summer felt an arrow stab through her chest as she heard Agito refer to that woman as ‘pretty bird lady’.
She was being replaced as his trusted adult!
She thought it was bad with just Willow Schnee, but she didn’t realize just how grave the situation was!
“I’m taking Agito home immediately!” Summer grabbed Agito and raised him into the air above her head from under his armpits as he flopped around in the air, face still blank.
“No way, the kiddo doesn’t want to stay home all day and play house!” Qrow protested while raising his bottle of wine, releasing all of his ‘concern’ and ‘altruism’ for Agito’s sake. “He should stay with me!”
“Neither of you are suited for aiding in Agito’s growth and knowledge, he will remain with me in Beacon!” Ozlynn quickly interjected as Agito floated out of Summer’s hands and into her arms, making Summer quickly turn with glowing eyes filled with fury.
[Achievement: Thoroughly Charm Ozlynn ‘The Tormented’, Humanity’s Greatest (150 CP added)]
“Ozpin- Oz- Whatever the fuck your name is, give me back my Agito immediately!” Summer spoke venomously while brandishing her axe once again as Ozlynn huffed and raised her nose, keeping Agito close against her side.
“And if I don’t?” Ozlynn challenged, eyebrows raised as she calmly brought her free hand up in preparation.
Summer’s response was a wave of light shot out from her eyes that engulfed the calm Ozlynn and motionless Agito. Agito remembered well that Summer could choose and pick who her light affected, so he wasn’t worried even as the powerful pulse of light magic enveloped him.
“Fool that you are…” Unfortunately for Summer, Ozlynn came out of that attack completely unharmed, leaving everyone befuddled as the Strongest Huntress on Remnant’s attack failed to do anything. “Such paltry tricks… You forget, Summer Rose, it was I who conceived the magic of your eyes so many years ago.”
“Huh?” Summer asked dumbly, staring in befuddlement as Ozlynn continued smirking smugly.
To their surprise, Agito’s body suddenly slipped out of Ozlynn’s grasp and away from her as they both turned in alarm… to see a rather pissed Glynda glaring at them.
Suddenly, neither seemed particularly enthused about starting a fight.
“Could you both grow up and stop pulling around this poor boy like he’s some type of toy!?” Glynda loudly reprimanded them while bringing Agito next to her without glomping him in her arms as Summer and Ozlynn did, making Agito’s ears perk up as he turned to stare at her with shining eyes. “You’re both acting worse than the children at Beacon!”
“Y-You don’t get it, Glynda! I need to make sure Agito is properly educated so that no uncouth woman takes advantage of him!” Summer protested with an aggrieved look while sending Ozlynn a glare as the other woman merely returned a smirk.
“Glynda, dear, don’t you agree that Beacon is the perfect place for Agito to grow his abilities and make friends his age? I’m simply doing my best to ensure his safety and to help him thrive.” Ozlynn tried, an undoubtedly sly smirk on her face as she fully believed Glynda would take her side.
“Silence.” Any protest they had died on the tip of their tongues as Glynda smacked her palm with her riding crop, silencing the two into submission at the threat of BDSM- getting smacked. “Maybe we should actually ask what Agito wants to do.”
At this point, Agito was staring at her like she was his long-lost mother, finally returning home with the female equivalent of milk and cigarettes.
Although, milk was probably not that unrealistic considering…
“Agito wants the Shiny powering them.” Agito bluntly said what he desired while pointing up as everyone turned to where he was pointing.
A beautiful blue butterfly with yellow accents was fluttering in the air peacefully, calmly landing on Agito’s head once it was spotted by everyone.
Everyone seemed alarmed at its presence, save for Ozlynn, who was staring with befuddlement.
“Tethys…? What are you- Oh…” Ozlynn murmured in confusion before suddenly coming to a frightening realization as she turned to look at Agito with exasperation and understanding. “No, Agito, you cannot have one of the four Relics.”
“There’s three more!?” Agito’s eyes burned with excitement as everyone turned to Ozlynn with fury, making the woman smile sheepishly and stick her tongue out childishly.
“... Since when were you so willful and childish?” Glynda asked tiredly, already exhausted from Ozpin’s machinations. She was not ready for ‘Ozlynn’.
“Well, I certainly haven’t felt so youthful and energetic in centuries…” Ozlynn remarked playfully while crossing her arms under her rather sizable bust as Glynda & Summer’s eyes both widened considerably.
Was it bigger than theirs!? Impossible!
Glynda, Summer, and Qrow immediately looked down as the first two inspected their breasts while Qrow stared at his empty bottle of wine.
He easily swiped the distracted Summer’s water bottle and approached Agito again, an eager look on his face as Agito reached for the bottle and transformed it into wine for him.
“Kiddo, you’re my lucky charm.” Qrow ruffled Agito’s ears before going back to his drink, letting the women handle the rabid raccoon child that had somehow impressed even him.
[Achievement: Endear yourself to Qrow Branwen, ‘Harbinger of Misfortune’ (100 CP added)]
“Misfortune?” Agito tilted his head in confusion as Qrow’s title confused him, making Qrow choke mid-chug as he turned to look at Agito incredulously.
Agito’s left eye, Mimi, activated once again as he peered into Qrow’s soul, finding no curse afflicting him like he did with Ozlynn.
“Why are you unlucky?” Agito tilted his head in confusion, unable to see what was wrong with Qrow.
“... You’re scary with what you know, kid,” Qrow mumbled tiredly while wiping away the drops that he coughed up in his surprise. “It’s my Semblance, Misfortune. Makes my life shi… err, miserable.”
“Ah, okay.” Agito nodded in understanding. “Want me to help?”
“...” Qrow didn’t even know how to begin with responding to that. “How?”
“I don’t know. I’ll figure something out.” Agito shrugged. He didn’t exactly know how to change someone’s soul yet, but he figured it’ll come with time. “Want?”
“... Fuck it, yeah.” Qrow didn’t seem to doubt Agito after everything he showed that he could do, he simply accepted the offer to help.
“Language!”
“Sorry, sorry.” Qrow apologized immediately, ruffling Agito’s head as Agito let him do as he pleased.
How to remove Semblance? Stop Semblance?
Maybe deprive Qrow’s Semblance of Freedom? Stopping it from freely activating?
He’ll think about it.
Oh, wait, he had some rolls to go through actually. Maybe he could get something?

Outside the Great Flow - [400 CP - Magi: Alma Torran]
[When Solomon and his cohort entered Ill Ilah’s realm, they came to understand a truth of the world that shook them to their very core: That all things are part of an absolute, inescapable flow. That all the tragedies they had suffered, all the emotions they had felt, all the lives that had ever come into being were all a part of this flow, guided by God’s hands to a single, predetermined destination. That they were nothing more than insignificant pawns who could never escape from the destiny God had decided for them. For many, learning that their free will was naught but an illusion was enough to break them, and in their attempts to deny this truth they brought about the world’s end.
It’s convenient, then, that this universal truth has an exception – namely, you. Of all the people in the world, only you can claim that the future is truly in your hands, and that it always will be. Destiny, precognition, divination, prophecy, and all other sorts of supernatural forces or abilities that would attempt to guide or determine your future to their own ends and diminish your free will no longer affect you, allowing you to always act unshackled by the chains of fate. Any attempts by others to observe your future will be met with nothing but failure and frustration, and curses that should doom you to a tragic fate will simply dissipate into nothingness.
You may, of course, choose to allow such things to affect you should you wish, such as if you believe you are so beloved by destiny that it would guide you to victory, or if you wished to use magic to perceive your own future.]

Agito already had Sons of Mil for this, but extra protection against this type of thing was always welcome.
Also, this one let him choose if he wanted it to affect him. So he could get a fortune telling if he wanted to!
[‘Outside the Great Flow’ has been Acquired!]
Not useful for what he wants right now, though.

‘Oooh, this could work!’
[‘Healer’ has been Acquired!]
Agito moved next to Qrow and placed his hand on the man’s shoulder, leaving Qrow slightly confused yet not protesting. Then, Agito’s entire body began glowing gold as he began healing the astonished Qrow, catching the attention of the other three women present as they stared with similar surprise.
“So? Feel less lucky?” Agito’s body returned to its normal hue as he finished, looking up at Qrow with expectant eyes.
“... Let me check.” Qrow grabbed his own flask and raised it above his head in hopes of getting one more drop. Then, to his surprise, he actually saw a drop forming-
It landed on his eye.
“FUCK!” Qrow cursed in pain, gritting his teeth. “... I feel better than ever before, but this shitty Semblance is still here, kiddo.”
Agito didn’t reprimand him for cursing this time, knowing just how tough it must’ve been for him.

[‘Magic Circuits’ has been Acquired!]
Beneath his skin, a faint burning ached in his body as the Magic Circuits appeared.
Agito had no reason to refuse this, as it just seemed like more magic generation for him. Actually, has he been generating his own magic all along? Was he just using his superior Aura? He had no clue.
This level of thought was beyond the trash panda!

“Knight of the Lord” - [200 CP - Dark Souls 1]
[A knight’s will is in their blade, changing the course of battle with each swing. Their armor is their body, standing firm and protecting the fragile soul that lies within. Like the scorched black knights of Gwyn, your fate is forever tied with your equipment. With this perk your weaponry and armor is essentially an extension of your body and soul. It can become stronger, more resilient, more dangerous or gain new abilities entirely based on the special properties your body and soul possess. Equipping yourself will always be worth it with your weapons soaring to new dangerous heights as dangerous qualities are focused in them, and armor always able to protect in some manner. The downside is diseases, severe damage or corruption of what’s inside may also transfer. . . Those with Amazing Chest Ahead will find their equipment transforming into pristine, miraculously beautiful versions of what it once was. Make it as dazzling as tools of a god are expected to be.]

“Durandal!” Agito immediately called for his trusted Shiny as she appeared before him in seconds, leaving Qrow to raise an eyebrow at Agito’s sudden burst of excitement. “Are we one now!?”
“... I don’t think that means what you think it means.” Durandal dryly commented, extending her hand to touch Agito’s as his Aura shimmered and extended through his hand and into Durandal’s body. “Yes, I believe so.”
The familiar white glow with flashes of gold that were Agito’s Aura now appeared on her body as well, flashing across her body as if it were her own.
Wait, could Durandal have her Aura awakened? Would she have DOUBLE Aura?
“... Agito, what have you done?” Ozlynn’s stunned voice shook Agito out of his reverie as he turned to look at her with a tilted head. “Who’s this girl, and how can she share your Aura?”
“My Shiny, Durandal!” Agito answered curtly, gesturing to Durandal as she gave a proper curtsy before glowing brightly and returning to her sword form, allowing Agito to show her off proudly. “She’s one of my best Shinies.”
“... Did you make Durandal?” Ozlynn asked with fascination as she stared at the intricate, massive sword in Agito’s hands. One that is capable of taking human form, even.
“Yes.” Agito lied without blinking an eye, letting go of Durandal as she returned to her doll, humanoid form and stood behind him at attention. “Now let me try again…”

Just an Ordinary Human - [100 CP - Touhou Project: Forbidden Hermit]
[You’re skilled at hiding your blatantly inhuman features behind clothing, hats and other disguises, and people will simply overlook that which cannot be hidden (such as glowing bright red eyes and huge rabbit ears that can’t effectively be hidden by a conical hat). Only practiced youkai-hunters are likely to realise what you really are.]

Heretic - [600 CP (Cost waived by Mythical Achievement) - Seven Deadly Sins]
[The Great Witch Merlin professes an innate ability to resist the laws of the Ten Commandments, a set of ten absolute abilities that would normally only be resisted by the other Commandments and the very greatest of the Goddess and Demon Clans. Supposedly as a result of her ancestry including a particularly powerful demon, you too share this trait with her now. Effects that would normally be ‘Absolute’, even if only against certain categories of being, are not so much anymore against you. Oh, if you lack power in comparison to the foe using this ability, it will in effect be almost as perfect an ability as normal. Rather, if you are weaker than or equal to the foe, all this will grant is the chance, potentially a very small one indeed, to dodge or block that effect when you ordinarily could not. This chance will be greater the closer you are to that foe’s power and will continue to grow even if the foe is weaker than you. If you are sufficiently powerful in comparison to your foe, to the level that a battle between the two of you would be an effortless win without this ability of theirs being taken into question, this won’t be a matter of chance anymore, their supposedly perfect power will simply not be so anymore, weakened in the face of your obvious superiority. ]
[Automatically Purchased]
[‘Heretic’ has been Acquired!]
Agito’s breath shuddered as something malicious ran through his body for a moment before settling, worrying everyone around as they saw how pale his body became.
He couldn’t refuse this one. It came for free with the achievement…
Was he a Heretic Beast God now?
[0 CP Deducted… 650 CP Remaining.]
Either way, he didn’t give up.
‘Nothing yet. Need to try for something else.’ Agito thought while preparing to try to get something else, stopping only as Qrow suddenly placed his hand on Agito’s head again.
“Kiddo… I’ve lived with my Semblance for decades now. You don’t need to push yourself for my sake, okay?” Qrow firmly instructed Agito, raising Summer’s wine-filled bottle and giving it a shake as Summer jumped and reached for it on her waist, only to no longer find it there. “You’ve already made my day with the wine, I don’t expect you to waltz in here and fix my life in a few seconds.”
“Okay.” Agito obediently stopped at Qrow’s instruction, no longer using the Celestial Grimoire for more abilities to try to fix his Semblance.
He’d eventually get something and help him.
“... Surprisingly, not as stubborn as I thought you’d be. That makes one of Summer’s.” Qrow murmured with surprise before shrugging and letting go of Agito’s head after ruining his thoroughly patted head’s hair. “What were you even doing, Kiddo? You start glowing at some point, then gave your little sword your Aura, and then went pale…”
“Agito.” Agito replied seriously.
“... Agito?” Qrow asked.
“Agito.” Agito confirmed.
“Agito it is.” Qrow didn’t question Agito further, taking a sip of his wine from Summer’s bottle.
His head then met the ground as Summer snatched her bottle back, pummeled him into the ground, and then grabbed Agito’s shoulders.
“What do you mean ‘Agito’!? You went pale suddenly! Are you okay??” Summer shook him around worriedly, giving him flashbacks of their time back in the abandoned city.
“Yes.” Agito confirmed, not feeling anything after the slightly demonic ancestry settled into his bloodline. It would probably not have any harmful effects considering it didn’t seem to be the main point of the perk.
“Interesting…” Ozlynn murmured as she stared at Agito, an obvious glint in her eyes that made Summer, Qrow, and Glynda all send her dirty looks. “Agito, would you come to Beacon with me for us to conduct some tests?”
“Over my dead body!” Summer immediately interjected, once again pulling Agito close as she locked her arms around him to keep Ozlynn from sliding him out of her grasp again.
“So be it, then.” Ozlynn shrugged and extended her arm out, making Summer hiss as she prepared to take whatever Ozlynn dished out-
SMACK! SMACK!
The duo were once again cowed as a hit from Glynda’s riding crop silenced them. Agito was freed from Summer’s embrace once more, fleeing to Glynda’s side as she sighed and patted his head with her free hand.
“Here.” Glynda froze as Agito handed her the bottle she had on her waist. She didn’t notice when he took it, but it now held a deep, red color inside of it that she easily recognized.
“Ahem… Alcohol is very bad for you, okay?” Glynda gently took the bottle and placed it back on her waist while patting Agito, a slight flush on her cheeks as she did. “Still, Thank you Agito.”
[Achievement: Charm Glynda Goodwitch, ‘Witch of Calamity’ (100 CP added)]
“Ahem… Should we start traveling to Beacon, then? We have quite a long journey ahead, Glynda!” Ozlynn chuckled nervously and rubbed her hands together as she stared at Glynda expectantly, still hoping she took her side and declared that Agito would come along.
After all, Agito never spoke about where he wanted to go, only saying that he wanted the Relic of Choice, which they definitely couldn’t give considering how it was… well, used to be Vale’s last defense against Salem and her agents.
They had Ozlynn now.
Maybe they could…
Ozlynn shook her head. She couldn’t allow herself to be distracted by the sweet allure of having Agito’s affection and obedience!
Still… It’d make beating Salem easier. And having a Divine Beast as a familiar was every self-respecting wizard’s dream…
“We’re heading to Patch! The kids must meet Agito,” Summer declared childishly, refusing to let Agito go so easily when she’s yet to ‘teach’ him not to trust ‘untrustworthy’ adults.
Before Glynda could reprimand the two again, Summer’s words seem to have summoned something as a portal suddenly appeared behind her. From inside, three distinct figures walked out, with the third slamming into the second from behind just as the portal was about to close, as if they weren’t supposed to come and only managed to make it at the last second.
“Summer.” “Mom!” “MOOOOOM!”
The trio of mother, daughter, and non-blood-related daughter all froze as they realized who they had just intruded upon, looking around to see the people here.
An awkward silence stretched on for a minute or so as the trio blinked owlishly, gazes moving between each person present.
“Is that fucking Ozpin!?” Raven was the first one to speak as she pointed at Ozlynn, horror and incredulity coloring her face in equal measure.
“THAT’S HEADMASTER OZPIN!?” Ruby asked with excitement, confusion, surprise, and many other emotions at once.
“That’s quite a pair of bad boys…” Yang remarked with raised eyebrows, whistling as she saw the milkers her future ‘Headmaster’ was packing. “You must give a whole new meaning to ‘Headmaster’-”
Yang’s head was smacked by her mothers. Both of them.
“What are you doing here, Raven?” Summer asked worriedly while moving closer to Raven, placing a hand on her arm.
“... Something happened. With Yang. I wanted to check with you.” Raven answered, reaching up to gently cup Summer’s cheek as Agito gasped.
“Oh my god, they’re Yuri!” Ozlynn and Glynda both choked. They then turned to each other with looks of shock, betrayal, acceptance, and then understanding. A strange kinship was born between the two. “Perverts.”
Agito’s words made them both pale as they turned to him in alarm, realizing he saw their reaction and now knew what they were.
Filthy degenerates!
“OHMYGOD YOU’RE THE MECHA SUIT BOY IN ATLAS!” Ruby’s voice was as loud as the Atlesian Vehicle in the distance as she ran up to Agito with shining eyes, practically hopping in place from excitement. “You’re the one with the Shiny weapons and armor!”
“Shiny?” Agito’s gaze immediately sharpened as he saw another person his age speak of the legendary ‘Shiny’. She was one of his. One of HIS people! “Summer, The Agito is taking the socially awkward one!”
Before Summer could begin deciphering whatever the fuck Agito just said, Yang approached him as well, a smirk on her face.
“Oooh, you’re the cutie from Atlas!” She greeted with a wink, getting close enough to offer a handshake. “Nice to meet you, I’m Yang-”
The feather-like pattern on Yang’s body began glowing brightly as she went from flexing and showing off, to suddenly kneeling in front of Agito.
“...”
“...”
“Summer, the loud one is weird!”
