This choice: Let the little knight shrink • Go Back... Beacon Academy was the school housing a multitude of incredible students. These students were learning all they could to become huntsmen. A profession that involved great skill and courage to drive back the forces of Grimm. Practically everyone in the school was there to become the next greatest huntsman. It took a lot of work and effort to even secure a spot for orientation.
Although, there was someone who managed to enter without proper paperwork. This was Jaune Arc. A Beacon Academy first year and the leader of Team JNPR (Juniper). Jaune had dreamed of becoming a huntsman to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors, but he lacked the necessary training for such.
Regardless, Jaune tried his hardest to prove himself. He had his ups and downs, but after standing up to his bully, Cardin, and saving him from an Ursa, Jaune gained a surge of confidence. To this day, he has yet to truly feel like he was at a low point in life.
And as of right now, Jaune was currently spending his time reading a comic book. He heard a knock at his door and got up to see who was there. When he opened the door, there was no one there. All there was to see was a package without a shipping label or address. He brought it inside and spoke to his partner, Lie Ren, about it.
"Hey, Ren. Did we order anything?"
"Not that I remember." Ren said as he polished his weapons.
"Okay, because this box has no address on it or anything."
"Then perhaps you should return it."
Jaune thought about it, but his curiosity got the better of him. He set the box down on his bed and opened it. There was brown paper inside that obscured the actual product inside.
"I'll be heading out to Vale. I need to pick up some dust." Ren said. "Be careful with whatever is in there."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Jaune said dismissively.
Ren left the room and Jaune was all alone. He removed the paper and found a watch inside. It looked rather thin and plain. It was silver in color with a black leather strip. There was also a note under it. Jaune grabbed the watch with his left hand and the note with his other.
"Congratulations on receiving your new S-W 200." He read aloud. "The S-W, or Shrink Watch, is a fantastical product limited in quantity. Use the dial to adjust your shrinking height. Use the button beneath to activate the shrinking process. After a full 24 hour process, you may use the button on the left side of the watch to return to size. When shrunk, user will become extremely durable and withstand almost anything."
Jaune was amazed that something like this existed and put the watch on.
"Man, I wish I had something like this back home. It would've made it so much easier to avoid my sisters." He joked. "Now, for height. Hmm... How about six inches?"
He adjusted the dial. He took a couple of deep breaths before pushing the button. Immediately, a pulse of energy released from the watch and surrounded Jaune. He looked at his hands and saw there was a blue aura surrounding him. He then noticed everything around him growing in size. He laughed hysterically and cheered about it working.
Jaune then reached the six inch height and took a look at his massive dorm. He clapped his hands and looked at the watch. It had a timer indicating how much time he had left before he could return back to size. As he was admiring his work, the door to his dorm swung open. It was...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
