At the festival.
Sullivan and Ai spent time together with everyone. And as they were talking and joking around they heard a shout that there was a faunus stowaway.
And that faunus ran past them. He was a monkey faunus so he was very fast and agile.
He even blinked at Blake while he ran past them. Blake wasn't having it and was angry at the monkey faunus.
He might have thought that what he did looked cool but in reality it was not.
The monkey faunus was confused as to what he did to her for her to be angry at him like that but meh, he didn't care and ran away after that.
"Should we go after him?"
Ruby asked Sullivan. Normally she would go after him immediately but Sullivan taught her not to do anything ahead of everyone.
She needed to take everyone into consideration too. Otherwise she might bring herself and her team into danger without knowing.
"No, Just let him go."
Sullivan answered. He knew that chasing after him wasn't worth the effort. Ruby nodded reluctantly. She wanted to do good things but Sullivan told her that. Sometimes she needed to be flexible. Being a hero is a good thing but don't be naive.
She understood what Sullivan wanted to teach her, and she will keep it in mind always.
Blake was silent after sending an angry glare to the monkey faunus, then she thought about something.
"Ouch!"
Blake who wasn't focused when she tried to think about something. She crashed into someone accidentally.
"Salutations!"
She crashed into a young girl who she thought was very heavy.
"A-Are you okay?"
Blake was fast to stand up from her and tried to help her to get up but she couldn't even move her a little bit.
'Why is she so heavy!'
"I am wonderful! Thank you for asking."
She answered while she was still lying there. Yang, Ruby and everyone look at each other. They didn't know what to say in this situation.
Pyrrha then tried to help her but the same situation happened.
"Um, I don't want to be rude but. Why are you so heavy?"
Her weight wasn't normal. With her body size she shouldn't be this heavy.
"That's because I made of-, I apologize but that's a secret."
Sullivan, who saw everything, couldn't help but laugh a little.
He then looked at Ai. The two communicate with each other through chat. He nodded at her then he went to the girl who was still lying there and talking to everyone with her happy smile.
He showed her his hand. She looked confused at first but grabbed his hand after realizing that he wanted to help her get up. Sullivan could pull her from the floor easily.
"Wow, He's really strong."
Blake and Pyrrha knew how heavy the girl was but Sullivan could pull her up easily. The two knew he didn't use magic but pure physical force.
The girl when she got up from the floor then she thanked him and introduced herself to everyone.
"Hi my name is Penny. It is a pleasure to meet you!"
She was weird in everyone else's eyes but to Sullivan and Ai she was a very cute robot girl.
"It is a pleasure to meet you too. Penny, my name is Sullivan Morningstar."
Sullivan turned back the greeting. After him everyone then introduced themselves.
After the introduction. Ai walked closer to Penny and went around her to check her in every detail.
"Do you want to come with us?"
Ai invited Penny to go and play with them. The others didn't have any objection even though she was weird didn't mean that she was a bad person.
"Do you really mean it… Am I your friend now?"
Penny asked Ai which she nodded with a smile.
"Sensational!"
Penny was a very good girl and Ai wanted to be her friend. Ruby looked at them. She felt jealous. Ai didn't treat her like that.
Sullivan who saw her like that couldn't help but to comfort her. Ai might not treat her like she treated Penny but that's because she had a bad experience with humans.
"Human, what do you mean isn't Penny human too?"
Ruby was confused, Sullivan might need to explain to them about Penny now.
