Chapter 10: [A Bunch of Shit in One Chapter]
=-= Whatever this part is called=-=
Although Aura was proved to heal almost any wounds, scars would remain depending on how strong the Aura the person had.
For example, an average sized and above Aura level user would have no scars. However for someone with below average Aura, the wounds would still heal, but scars will appear.
Of course, the scars will disappear if they get it treated. And considering how common it is for scars to get healed, the price is extremely cheap.
Although it is a shame that Arthur has below average Aura.
Light, on the other hand, can heal but leaves scars regardless of level.
Zero Two doesn't have Aura but has her Grimm nature, and with the healing factor that it includes, scars won't appear for her.
=-= Next Morning =-=
"Ze Tw, you awake?" I quietly whispered in order to check if she was awake. "Hmm?" She responded sleepily.
[AN: Ze Tw is like how Zero Two calls Quail Darling.]
"I can barely see." I once again quietly whispered. "*sigh*, what do you want to do?" She responded even more tiredly then before somehow.
"I don't know, my eye's scar mostly likely remain and that's probably what's inhibiting my vision. Currently, it looks like everything was even blurrier than my past life, but also it looks like I'm viewing everything though extremely outdated cracked glasses."
That's right, I told her that I had a past life. And guess what, she gives zero fucks. Whatcha gonna do bout that huh?
"Maybe, train to not use your eyes? Anyways it's too early for this shit. Go to sleep." She said before dozing off.
I guess I'll train not to use my eyes and without my [Scans] as I could run out of Aura. *sigh* It IS too early for this.
Wait, isn't it the afternoon?
Eh, who cares. I'll go back to sleep.
=-= Late Afternoon =-=
Zero Two was still sleeping, and I was already awake, so I took this time to experiment.
And while improving my fiv-four senses is good and all, I have no fucking idea how to improve them. So I'm going to train myself in the way people train they're [Observation Haki] in One Piece.
By throwing shit at myself.
But unfortunately, I need Ze Tw for that and she's sleeping.
So I might as well take this time to adjust and adapt my skills in order to use them properly with my limited vision.
=-=-=-=-=
After practicing for several hours on both using a bow and my spare bo-staff, I am confident, I'm around 90% peak.
And once Ze Tw woke up, she started to shoot blunt arrows at me, and I tried to either deflect or cut them.
Well actually, at first I worked on dodging with my eyes open and then with my eyes closed.
After I was able to do both, I jumped straight to trying to cut/deflect the arrows midair with and without my eyes.
I then slowly worked my way up and placed harder and harder restrictions on me.
Like one hand only, one leg only, no limbs, trying to bite the arrow mid-air, stuff like that.
After I was done training, I did the same for Ze Tw and we both practiced with our eyes closed.
All in all, I could tell we are going to improve.
Emphasis on are.
After spending some time with Ze Tw, I learned that she would only improve if she trained harder then she is able to.
For example, I will rate the training difficulty out of 10. If Ze Tw normally is capable of doing 5, then I will use a 8 and above difficulty training on her.
After doing a high difficulty training for a while regardless if she showed signs of improvement, I would then switch back to her 5 and see how she did.
And every time there would be heavy signs of improvement.
I'm the exact same way.
Like I only improve the exact same way.
Then again isn't that how people usually get better?
[AN: I'm actually genuinely serious, is that how people get better, cause that's the only way I get better. I started playing OSU recently and can do 3-star maps, but I noticed no improvement to my scores. So I started to play on 7 and above star map for a while and then when I switched back to 3-star I noticed an immediate improvement.]
=-= 9 or so months Later =-=
At this point, Ze Tw and I lost track of time. We have a routine of getting up, eat, train, eat, hunt, eat, train, eat and then sleep. We usually just take two days whenever to rest and relax.
Although we think it's been around a year.
[It has]
Originally we planned to head to the nearest city by following the river, but we indeed tried that and after one week following the river we found nothing, so we headed back to our home.
I originally started to despair at the thought of Mother leaving me, but Ze Tw was able to bring me up.
She also gave me some theories on why Mother probably wasn't able to pick us up.
It was most likely due to the increase and massive flux of Grimm appearing at the end of the first month.
And since Mother had a tribe to take care of, she had to abandon me in order to help her tribe survive.
And as much as I want to be angry at her, I can't. Raven was the first person ever to show me love and affection. And I was actually able to FEEL the love for once.
So I still love Mother.
Always.

[AN: Fucked up my skill and power rating in 8th chapter [Grinding]. I'm trying to make a kinda realistic power level for MC and Zero Two without them being TOO op.]
Both I and Ze Tw could currently outrival late fourth-year Signal students in skills alone. I think. Cause then again we don't really have an accurate rating.
In skills, I focus on being efficient while Ze Tw focuses on hardstyle, decimating her opponents with her strength and speed.
Although I focus on being efficient, I mostly fight using instincts and in my past life I was a passive-aggressive fighter, I had to change and adapt. So while I might be a passive-aggressive fighter in default, I can easily adapt and change to a more defensive style. It all depends on the situation. So you could say I'm a situational, efficient, and soft style fighter.
For Ze Tw, since she has much better strength and speed fighter than most people, she uses hardstyle. And in order to balance her hardstyle fighting, she uses flowing type footwork.
Both of us evolved from regular Tae Kwon Do and Karate, into something that focuses on killing.
Something much deadlier in order to survive.
I individually without Super, could take a second-year Signal student.
Ze Tw individually without Super could take a fourth-year Signal student as she has the appropriate strength, speed, and skill to match.
The reason why I can only take second-year is that my strength and speed are not on the level of Ze Tw at ALL. I can only rely on using my skill and brain to fight.
That's a whole 5-6 year age gap between us. And not only that but Ze Tw and I have a MUCH higher fighting experience and better skill, due to the almost daily Grimm wandering the area and us having to clear them and also, due to the pressure of constant death around the corner, we are forced to improve at rates faster and far better than usual people.
And if I'm being honest, Ze Tw will most likely always be stronger then me because not only does she has the brain and skill, but she also has the strength and speed.
And I could care less if I'm weaker. Sure I might be slightly jealous, but other than that, I could hardly take my precious energy and actually CARE about jealousy, sadness, anger, and such. Like maybe a fraction of percentage that I'm jealous. And that's only when it appears. Most of the time, jealous is nonexistent.
I'm a lazy person by heart after all.
=-= One Month Later =-=
So, I'm apparently growing white horns now.
I'm also beginning to notice an increase in strength and speed in me without even training.
I consulted this with Ze Tw and we came to the conclusion that this was because of me ingesting her blood.
And while it may seem like I should have strength and speed equal to Ze Tw I don't. The main reason is that Grimm gains strength depending on age.
And Ze Tw has been part Grimm from birth, while I only a year ago ingested her blood and slowly became a Grimm.
So you could say Ze Tw is a six-year-old while I'm only a year old.

"Ne~, Darling, doesn't this mean we're related now?" Zero Two asked curiously. "Hmm. I guess so? And if so, then are we brother and sister technically or are we something different and new?" Quail answered a bit confused.
"I guess we're something new as your genes don't usually change even after ingesting someone's blood. But for in simple terms, you could say we're brothers and sisters." Zero Two responded, but then mentally smirked after a bit of thinking.
Quail: "So who's older and who's younger."
Zero Two: "I'm older!"
Quail: "Hmm, I guess so. In Grimm years too and possibly in human years your older than me."
Zero Two then laughs maniacally.
Quail: "What's funny?" Quail asked confused.
Zero Two: "Nothing~, it's just that isn't this incest are we're both married and already kissing each other." Zero Two said whispered in Quail's ear in a sultry voice.
While Quail slightly whimpered since he was extremely vulnerable to pleasure and contact, as he usually never touched or was touched by another person except for his Mother and Ze Tw.
Zero Two: "What's your opinion on incest, brother Darling~." She once again said in her sultry voice.
Quail: "kinky." Quail said in a very small and defeated voice.
Zero Two then licked the side of Quail's cheeks and went off into the distance to practice her archery.
'Damn vixon! How the fuck does she know to act all like this. Erotic and ya know.
WAIT?! Don't tell me she's doing this on instinct!
Don't tell me Salem used to be like this.' Quail thought before curling in a corner and rocking back and forth.
For dramatic purposes of course.
=-=-=-=
Bit longer chapter, as I have more time! After Thursday when the last of my finals are over, I'll definitely release more chapters.
Usually 700-2000 words.
Also no h-scenes for a WHILE.
Not until at least Beacon as I'm planning to timeskip soon.
