Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Helping Blake

[3rd POV]

A lot, the answer was a lot. Wanda hadn't been entirely expecting it, but her usage of Ki was genuinely insane. The sheer variety of things that she could do with it was truly incredible.

With her ki and her natural comprehension and learning capabilities, she was able to effortlessly replicate the techniques of other Dragon Ball characters just from her memory alone. Kamehameha? Mimicked and mastered within an hour. Galick gun? It happened even faster.

Technique after technique, mastering them all after just remembering their capabilities and what they could do.

Hell, she was pretty sure that she could learn and master ultra instinct within a few minutes if she really wanted to. But she was much more interested in the idea of going to Dragon Ball in person to do that part.

That and she wanted to see what the super dragon balls could do.

And of course she wanted to meet one of the most iconic manga characters of all time, if not THE most iconic manga/anime character of all time. Goku was someone she was very interested in meeting.

Once Milim had her own power up, she imagined the girl would want to take part in some of the tournaments too, as she would certainly be strong enough. Hell, even now she'd be considered pretty strong in that universe.

And once she got Ki? She'd be unstoppable. But for now, she was limiting Milim to chakra and aura so she can master them first. Just like how she had taught Naruto about aura as well, which he had been extensively training over the past week that they had been back.

Said aura was immense thanks to his nature, as was Milim's, who was far superior to even her brothers. Her aura was so strong that she could actually mimic certain techniques with it, techniques that no other aura user should realistically be able to use.

Over the past few days, besides learning and mastering her usage of Ki, Wanda had also been increasing her control and mastery of the different domains that she was connected to, which had been increasing slowly but steadily.

With her control over the domains increasing, she had also been increasing her control over the different elemental parliaments, and the sage force, which had been growing massively thanks to her divinity. She wasn't even sure how strong her psychic powers had gotten, but she doubted there was a single other being in DC that was comparable to her, besides those that literally personify the energy.

She knew that Raven could also grow to compare to her as well if she learned more about her psionic powers, which were incredibly immense thanks to her connection to the collective unconsciousness. But that would of course take quite some time for that to happen, especially since she was focusing more so on magic at the moment.

At the moment Wanda was sitting behind her counter. Her children were actually in one of the pocket dimensions upstairs, they had wanted to do some training together, as they had been slacking a bit in the past few days. And what better way than to train in a dimension with world ending monsters literally everywhere?

Wanda had of course made sure to place some protections on them, but she was confident that Milim would be able to protect Naruto in case anything happened. And she had limited the areas that Naruto could go to, so he could only fight monsters that were in his realm of strength.

So while they were out and doing that, she was sitting behind her counter waiting for a customer. And soon her customer had arrived, as in walked Blake Belladona.

"Ah, hello there Blake! I was wondering when you'd return" Wanda said, knowing that the cat Faunus loved reading, so the fact that she had not returned in such a long time was a bit of a surprise.

Wanda's expression changed slightly when she noticed the look on Blake's face, causing the woman to frown "You alright there, Blake?" Wanda asked, noticing that Blake seemed sad.

"U-Uh I'm fine" Blake said, not exactly the most enthused sounding.

"Uh huh, I'm not going to believe that, Blake. It's quite obvious that something happened, may I ask what it's about?" Wanda asked, looking at the teenager as she shook her head.

"No, i-it doesn't matter" Blake responded, while Wanda hummed.

"Did your friends find out about your secret?" Wanda asked. Blake looked at her in confusion, as Wanda smiled.

"You being a Faunus, Blake. Did they find out you are a Faunus?" Wanda reiterated as Blake looked surprised.

"How did-" "Blake, your bows were not exactly the best at hiding your ears. Beyond that, I have very very good senses and eyesight, so it wasn't hard to see that you are a Faunus. That, and you just confirmed it to me" Wanda responded with a smile, not caring that the girl was a faunus.

"And before you say anything, it matters not that you are a Faunus, Blake. I have seen a lot of people who are far far stranger looking, and I do not treat them any differently either. So you having some cute cat ears won't make a difference to me" Wanda added, as Blake blinked at the mention of cute cat ears, blushing slightly at the words.

"Ruby and Yang do not seem like the type to care for such things...so I can only assume that Weiss said something stupid?" Wanda asked, as Blake sighed and moved to sit across from her, after Wanda walked over to one of the tables.

"She said that the white fang is nothing but a bunch of criminals, that Faunus are too. She...she sounded-" "Ignorant? Racist? Foolish?" Wanda answered.

"...Yeah, all of those. I-I just couldn't stand there while she was talking like that, like they don't have their own situations, their own circumstances. So...I blew up on her, and I revealed the truth to them, or, more like it was forced from me" Blake said, causing Wanda to sigh.

"You cannot blame her, Blake" Wanda replied, causing Blake to look up at her with a frown. Wanda raised a hand, stopping Blake from saying anything as she continued.

"You must understand that she was raised to think like that, Blake. Her father, Jacques, is a monstrous little man who hates all things Faunus. And thanks to that hatred, thanks to the racism he holds against them, it has trickled down to his daughter and son, Weiss and her little brother. She does not know any better, she does not know the true struggles that your kind deal with due to your differences, and she does not know that her words are so awful" Wanda explained calmly.

"...I...I know. It's just...I can't help but be angry with her. With the fact that she can say such callous things without even thinking of the consequences of them, that she didn't even think of how others might feel when she says such horrible things about them" Blake responded, still hurt with Weiss's words, but understanding that she didn't even realize what she was saying was so awful.

"You are right to be angry, hon. But you must also understand her point of view, and that she does not know any better. And at the same time, it's good that you're calling her out now. She cannot just say things like that without thinking of how others might react, especially once she gets older. It could put her in serious danger acting so ignorant" Wanda responded with a calm smile on her face, as Blake sipped on the tea that floated over to her.

"...I should probably go talk to her, huh?" Blake responded after a few moments of thought, causing Wanda to smile.

"Probably. But I would continue with your plan of looking into that White Fang operation. It'll lead you to some very interesting pieces of information" Wanda responded, as Blake looked up at her.

"How do you know all of these things? I never brought up any of this" Blake asked.

"I'm far from a normal bookstore owner, Blake. Maybe in the future when you girls are in need, you can come to my store and I'll help you out" Wanda said with a mysterious smile on her face, knowing that they'd need her help to deal with Salem in the future.

And she would be willing to give it, in return for the four artifacts.

"Now, off you go, and the tea is free of charge this time, but I do hope you'll come back soon, I've got a ton of new romance novels for you to read~" Wanda said with a teasing grin on her face, causing Blake to blush brightly before scurrying out of the store moments later, not wanting to get teased by the older woman any longer.

Watching her run off, Wanda laughed, one thought on her mind.

'So cute!'
