Chapter 8 - the brother's reputation

( Logan's POV )

it's only been three days since Jack threaten those three bullies and they're scared shiftless unable to do anything always looking over their backs and a lot of people learn not to mess with fanous when he's around or ever when he's not because if he hears it he'll put them in their place. though myself I've gotten a reputation as well as a very kind person unlike my brother and a lot of people come to me now when it comes to dealing with my brother. and I don't know if I should be happy that I got this reputation or not but I have been spending my free time with Ruby and by extension Yang since she loves just trying to mess with me through teething. and whenever I asked Ruby if she would like to hang out Yang always I came along with us because she decided so. honestly at this point I don't know what to do. but I know my brother hanging out quite a bit at all as ozpin's Tower. nothing of real value has been happening of late. though I did hear about some rumors about a few girls liking my brother because of his way of protecting people and how they would love it if they were on the side of his Wrath where they are being protected by him. I don't know how but Jack has become much more popular than I have with the girls tho that probably will be an issue for him. if the fashion queen tries to make him her model for her fashion designs. and honestly I want no part of that I rattled enough fanfics where if you got into that position you were pretty much being sought after by nearly every female student of bacon. don't know if that will actually happen with my brother and I really hope not cuz I am not hiding him but then again my brother will probably throw people around like rag dolls before he asked me to hide him sometimes my brother is way too prideful. Bundt a voice broke me out on my thoughts this voice I was familiar with it was Ruby I smiled as I Look to where the voice was coming from and it was the full Team Rwby don't know why all four of them are here and honestly I could care less cuz it probably is because Ruby drag them with her or they were just going on a walk talking with each other than they saw me.

" hey Logan I got a couple of questions!!"

Ruby most the time has interesting questions so I got up from the bench I was sitting on and began walking towards them as I spoke to them.

" yeah Ruby what are those questions?"

Ruby used her semblance to pretty much Propel herself Like a Torpedo into my stomach but things to my brother my body is a lot more training than it looks since I was always his punching bag and if I didn't want to go home with broken bones or bruised ribs I had to get a lot stronger.

" whoa little red be careful you might get yourself hurt."

she looked up with a smile as she began speaking.

" alright thanks anyway my questions are how come you use two hatchets as your weapons. at least that's the first one my second question is how come you and your brother almost nothing alike I understand siblings will not always be like but you two were like night and day to each other. oh yeah and my third question is do you have anything planned and your brother too."

I started messing around with her hair with a smile on my face.

" whoa whoa slow down little red but to answer your questions I use hatchets because they are much easier to concealed. and I don't have to use as much money to buy dust if the rounds are much smaller but have a lot more power to them which is why I have my hatchets able to turn into Desert Eagles. and for your second question I have absolutely no idea why me and my brother is so different from each other especially since we're twins. and for the last question I have nothing planned today since I didn't really think of anything as well I absolutely have no idea what my brother is doing."

I said that while trying to catch my breath Ruby seem to think quite a bit as Blake's spoke up.

" so where do you think your brother is?"

I looked at Blake and I notice twice went to know too but she didn't want to say anything.

" two places he frequents constantly ozpin's Tower he typically hangs out on the top of it. and the second place would be a bookstore but I can't remember the name of it but it's near the airport so just look around there if I remember correctly the place is run by a panther faunus who I never got the name of."

my answer seemed to make a Blake smile a little bit and I could swear that Weiss was also smiling just a little bit though not that easy to notice Weiss however spoke up.

" so what is his weapon I never seen him carry a weapon besides that how alert and it doesn't look like it was made to actually be used as a fighting weapon."

I kind of laughed a little bit as I spoke.

" no that Albert is his weapon it may not look like much but trust me it can kill Grimm much easier than you would guess judging from the look of it. I one time saw him take the head clean off an Ursa with it and it look like he barely put any effort into it he wasn't even using his semblance to. he barely use it unless he wants to kill something any other time he'll use his bare hands as his weapon why he doesn't make something similar to Yang's gauntlets I have no idea."

Weiss seems impressed and the rest of Team Rwby as well. though Ruby looked very confused and then she would begin to speak.

" wait how strong is your brother?"

I Shrugged as I looked around and I pointed ozpin's Tower as I spoke.

" well if I were to guess my brother without using his semblance probably could tear down that Tower without much effort by going after it's supporting columns. they'll probably take him a few minutes with his semblance active on its lowest setting it probably take it out in one minute if he's using his bare hands."

all the members of Team Ruby's mouth dropped to the floor as they looked at ozpin's Tower. sing the size of it they could imagine anyone that strong could do that in that short of time. I Shrugged as I look around as I heard Ruby spoke.

" so what about you how strong are you."

I didn't look at her as I continue to look up at the sky then I would speak.

" I would say I'm stronger than the average person the real danger of me comes from my semblance it how it works. I can control lightning anything involving electrical current. I don't know if I'll be able to control the machines like a giant robotic Mac or something and as well my semblance pretty much speeds up my thought process allow me to assess the situation much faster then make a plan. but if you're talking about physical strength I am just above average in that department."

everyone but Ruby looked dumbfounded at the strength of me and my brother but Ruby spoke.

" kind of like me in that sense where my speed is really my most dangerous aspect except for I'm just really fast. I do have another question who do you think will win in a fight between you and your brother with both of you going completely all out?"

I look at Ruby with a smile as I messed around with her head.

" my brother would win that fight like a landslide against a guy in a wheelchair. as soon as my stamina runs out he could put me in the hospital with one flick if he's going completely all out. and in the terms of strategy I may have the advantage on assessing situation but my brother is a battle genius. he knows all of his weaknesses where to watch out for and he can accommodate for them near perfectly well me and the other hand I can't really do that my reaction speed and my speed is the only thing that would keep me going in that fight but once again if my stamina runs out I'm doomed."

I said laughing nervously but before Ruby could speak we heard a voice that was familiar it was my brother.

( Jack's POV)

I just flew over to my brother and I heard him talking to the girls I'm just dying to speak up after he started laughing nervously with a smile on my face.

" can't say you're wrong little brother. I do appreciate you praising me however you are way too humble for your own good. you are a wonderful combatant you just need to learn the confidence and where to apply the right tactic at the right moment. which I find is your biggest issue even with your supercomputer like brain and superhuman reflex speed you still fail to see where you need to apply the right action to. and you just need to learn when is the right moment for such movements which sadly I think you only get from actual combat experience."

yang shouted with a question expected to happen eventually.

" wait how do you train to be that strong?"

everyone seemed to get curious besides my brother who already knew my training regiment. I wave my hand like a dismissing gesture as I began to land right next to my brother as I spoke.

" simple I went to a Grimm infested Forest where I knew they would be a lot of purses and other physically strong Grimm and I stay there for around 4 hours fighting near constantly. then I leave the forest and head back to my dorm and start doing things about 300 squats sit-ups and push-ups. and then probably rest and if I'm feeling extra energetic high up from 300 to 600."

as I said this Yeng's mouth drops wide open. as I walked forward and with one finger I made her mouth closed as I walk past them and started to speak.

" my brother has a similar training regiment except for his is more increasing his reaction speed and now he perceives attacks which I constantly tell him. he needs to train his physical strength as well if he wants to keep himself from how did he put it being put in the hospital by me?"

as I said this I noticed Blake and Weiss we're staring at me quite intently I looked over to Blake who seemed to stutter a little before asking a question.

" so I heard you go to a Bookshop do you find any interesting books there?"

I pulled our my scroll as I sent her the location of the bookstore as I began to speak.

" yeah there actually is a fairly interesting books selection they're quite impressive actually how many different varieties he has a books I even found some interesting books. one of them was named 'ninjas of love' I don't know what's that about but by the name it sounds fairly interesting."

as I said this I was about to take off but then I heard a Weiss.

" so why do you only use a helbert why not get a bit of long-range into your fighting style?"

I looked back at her as I slowly took flight. after a few seconds I stopped flying away and spoke calmly.

" I have always preferred being up close and personal with my opponents and well my semblance is best suited for up-close-and-personal fighting so it didn't really see a point in getting long range options."

then I heard Ruby Shout with a question that caught me completely off-guard.

" well then why don't you add another melee weapon to add a little bit more variety to your attack patterns. oh like a scythe or Warhammer oh no no no wait wait wait you could do a katana maybe a longsword."

I laughed a little bit as I slowly shook my head and began to fly away but then my brother is voice stopped me as I looked at him.

" brother how about you hang out with us today you're always on your own if you keep doing that you will be alone forever with only me and whatever kids I have in the future keeping you company. "

I gave my brother Logan a death stare which made everyone in the area have a shiver down their spine. except for my brother who had a mocking smile on his face. but I ultimately side and flew back down as I grab from my coat and gold owl book and started to read it it was a interesting philosophy book I read about a few days ago. and I haven't really finished it's because of classes but it was at least something to keep me occupied and I hated how my brother awarded his sentence to because it did hurt me a little bit. cuz I was a loner and single in my past life. so that comment really hurt me quite a lot so I decided to end up punching him in the back of the head which made him wince in pain.

" make that comment ever again and I'll send you to the nurses office and that is a promise."

Logan couldn't help but laugh a little bit because he knew how to press my buttons and the whole team of Ruby seemed to almost smart a little bit seeing my reaction well blank actually went by my side as she looked at her friends.

" alright let's start moving"

I simply sigh as the four girls started dragging me and my brother as we simultaneously look at each other and knew what we were thinking automatically. and that was what the hell did we get ourselves into this time.
