Chapter 98: Home and Party Members (7)
~Third POV~
Inside the <Dream Image Training> world Jack messed with settings as the whole entire area around him and his target were suddenly in Vale Jack set everything up with a smile on his face, "Good. Seems like I can change everything I need to for this. This should give me practice too."
Turning his attention towards Peach Jack maintained a careful glance at her with his weapons tightly held with his heart beating rapidly calming himself and breathing, "Whew… ok time to do this."
*Shiii*
Jack using <Aura Trapping> on Peach immobilizing her immediately began to launch a volley of <Aura Balls> at her thinking to himself, 'Right. I can't make her touch me with her semblance so best to go about long-range against her.'
*BOOM*
*BANG*
*BOOM*
*BANG*
*BOOM*
*BANG*
*BOOM*
Launching a volley of <Aura Balls> all at Peach Jack made sure to keep his eyes leveled at her AP bar seeing that it was beginning to run down while looking at the time but also wary of his own AP with his <Aura> skill active.
Stopped and canceled his attack while watching the explosive impact of the aura balls at Peach finally come to an end she was still standing struggling but places her rifle at Jack's sights readying her turn to attack.
*Bang*
Dodging to avoid a Jack soon sees Professor Peach's hologram screen lit up while reading the words coming from it, 'What the hell? Initiate Combat: Accelerated Time?'
*Zzzz*
Jack's eyes widened seeing Peach holding a Lightening Dust soon turned into holographic data entering her screen with it turning yellow hue all around her with a smirk that was when Jack's skill <Detect Bloodlust> while his body reacted quickly.
*Shiii*
*Shiii*
*Shiii*
"Swwwsh!"
Creating three large glyphs from his <Glyph> Skill to repel any that comes close to him he managed to see a figure repelled back while he stays on guard sweat evident on his face seeing that trick, 'Shit… basic usage of Dust from the first volume… when Dust is added to a Semblance the results vary depending on what type – Left!'
Seeing his screen of the skill <Detect Bloodlust> activated Jack's eyes managed to catch where Peach would be going turning his glyphs around to defend himself blocking the attack and seeing her weapon shifted into a mace weapon.
*Cling*
The sounds of the weapon clashing with the glyphs sparks emitted from the impact while Jack glares at this keeping his mind recalling his studies of Dust theories, 'Lightning Dust if used with a Semblance grants them with speed boost or paralysis. Guess for her it actually provides status buffs but…'
*Zzzz*
Sparks were shown around Peach's body keeping a steady expression but flinched slightly at the pain while Jack notices her HP is going down slowly with a smirk on his face, 'Just as I thought… she can't keep this up forever because of the Dust she downloaded on her aura. While her <Soul Achieve> downloads the Dust in her body the negative side effects are shown.'
Glancing at Peach damaging herself Jack takes out one of his potions revealing to have a purple color with bubbles buzzing inside taking a quick look at it with a smirk on his face written over it.
Using <Observe> on the item with Peach coming towards him he saw a small blue screen describing the item avoiding the attacks or contact from Professor Peach.
----
Item: Poison Potion
Description: These potion contents contain poison that allows 10 HP damage per second when exposed to the target regardless of race. The duration of how long the poison takes effect is about 5 minutes before the poison effects ware off.

*Woosh*
*Crack*
*Splash*
Professor Peach was about to land a blow to Jack with her mace coated in her aura, but Jack managed to avoid it in time and used his <Telekinesis> skill to throw the poison potion at Peach's mace it made contact on impact destroying the potion's in the process.
The purple contents of the potion slashed on Peach's hands with the evident pain of her clothes breaking through like acid Peach flinched keeping her calm face faltering a bit, and she immediately took out an item of her own.
One Ice Dust Crystal (Low) with Jack seeing what she plans to do by using <Expel Aura> activating the Ice Dust to explode when it contacted the Ice Dust surprising Jack for a moment seeing her willing freeze the poison and glancing her eyes at him.
Widening trying to get away her mace weapon shifted back to her rifle beginning to shoot a volley of Fire Dust rounds with each one Jack avoided he saw them activate on impact with the nearby building exploding creating a fiery explosion for each one that made contact on the building with Jack forcing him to bear the brunt of the fire explosions.
*Bang*
*BOOM*
*Bang*
*BOOM*
*Bang*
*BOOM*
"Cough…!"
Each explosion of the Fire Dust rounds shot by Peach rifle gun the aftermath of the explosions creating a smokescreen with Jack inhaling them deeply affecting his breathing skill, 'Cough…! Cough… damn it… the smoke of the rounds aftermath is entering through my lungs making it difficult to breath… wait where – '
A sense of dread soon washed upon Jack realizing he let his eyes waver off of his target by instinct his skinned began to turn a gray shiny color of the metal with a figure being completed hidden covered by the smokescreen she caused.
*Woosh*
*BAM*
*Ding*
"Wwsssshh… BAM!"
"Ahh!"
Feeling the brunt of Peach Mace's shift weapon Jack covered his head using his arms turned metal to block the blow he felt from the Huntress but in the process, he felt that his arm bent in the wrong way breaking it easily like a twig while he was sent flying into a nearby building screaming in pain.
*Bam*
*Thud*
Feeling that he had been launched directly holding his pain tears evident in his eyes seeing his managed metal arm turning back to normal again with his own arm hanging on to its muscle fibers with his bone sticking out unnaturally clenching his teeth in pain.
Heaving his breath in and out he soon saw blue screens pop up showing him that his skill leveled up.
[<Physical Endurance> LEVEL UP!]
[<Physical Endurance> LEVEL UP!]
[<Physical Endurance> LEVEL UP!]
[<Physical Endurance> LEVEL UP!]
[<Physical Endurance> LEVEL UP!]
Leveling himself up again taking a Healing Potion and chugging it down to heal the effects of his broken arm back to normal again thinking what to do next, 'Ok that hurt… like hurt a lot. But now I have to deal with her – huh?'
That was before Jack saw a holographic blue screen from Professor Peach Semblance in effect <Soul Archive> he feels his head in pain shocked about this kind of attack, 'What the hell?! She uses literal math equations to harm me by uploading years of work into my head – ahh… So much knowledge… so much pain…! I knew math is the true form of evil! I knew it!'
Feeling a massive headache while the loading bar of Peach semblance showed above his head but then it started to glitch out while Jack had a brief moment of rest seeing another blue screen of a skill name belonging to him.
[Notice of force mind data at play!]
[<Mind Resist> LEVEL UP!]
*Swoosh*
*Thud*
Huffing out a breath of tiredness from the mental strain Jack notices back to Peach with a smirk coming down with her having her guard up giving her thanks, "Even though it's only an image training of the original… you have my thanksgiving me the experience now then… time to end this now that I won't have to fear your Semblance."
*SWOOSH*
*BAM*
"Ack…!"
The image of Professor Peach was suddenly having her back bent back with the show of motion of Jack's punch rushing through her body stretching it while her aura did her best to protect her while she began to use her Semblance to force him.
*Shiii*
Countering her attack Jack used <Aura Trapping> forcing her to stay in place while Jack began to rush at her with a volley of fists with him yelling out a battle cry for fun, "ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORAAAAA!"
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BOOM*
Landing the final punch Professor Peach is finally defeated leaving a tired Jack on the ground collapsing receiving the rewards he got from the fight but also realizing something in the process, 'Huff… huff… damn it… if a Veteran Huntsman or Huntresses can be that tricky then I have to play that smart next time. I didn't even know using Dust like that other than <Glyphs> would have that effect… lesson learned…'
[Ding!]
[-You have met the conditions-]
[-Which skill would you like to copy from Thumbelina Peach -
-Blunt Weapon Mastery Lv.1
-Soul Archive Lv.1
-Planning Lv.1
-Mathematics Lv.1
…]
Glancing at the blue screen ignoring the EXP he gained Jack began to choose the skills he wanted to get for all his trouble. But he curses seeing <Matematics> in it fliping the middle finger at it.
[Ding!]
[You have successfully copied the skill <Soul Archive>!]
-----
<Soul Archive> (Active) Lv.1 Exp: 0/100%
AP Cost: 50 AP
Description: This skill's main function is storing mass amounts of knowledge within a single person. <Soul Archive> upon reading, hearing, or seeing any sort of event, the user is capable of absorbing that thought or memory into the core of their soul, so that the memory literally becomes a part of them.
This knowledge can range from something that someone said, to entire books, even to different types of magic that others used, similar to the effects of reaction-type Semblances. Once enough data has been stored inside of the user, soul, they are capable of producing a holographic interface that floats directly in front of them and is designed uniquely for each user.
Once the user has pulled up their interface, they are capable of digging around inside of their memories for access to any sort of memory that they may require, and even delete any memory they want, to make room for others of greater importance.

Jack smiles at this but soon returns back to the normal world on his bed feeling tired thinking of what to do next before experimenting with what to do next.
