Mr. Arc's new Career

(Decided to try my hand on this idea I had for awhile. This story is set in an AU where the end events of Volume 3 didn't happen and this is about 3 months after the Vytal festival. For those wondering about New World Adventure don't worry I haven't given it up. It's just Infinity War had....well floored me in certain ways and I had to recover. I also had to figure out where I'm going to take that story, but anyway please enjoy this one. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but flaming is not. Now forward!!!)

Pyrrha Nikos was incredibly frustrated at the moment. Why is that you ask? Well apparently ever since her birthday had passed two weeks ago, her agent has been hassling her to model for a new huntress magazine called Huntsgirls. Her agent Bronx Shade is a lightly tanned skinned 31 year old man with a shaved head and a neat moustache. He is actually very well muscled with thick arms that seemed like they can tear apart Beowolves barehanded and powerful legs that allowed him to stand at an imposing 6'5. He is actually a retired Huntsman who left that life early to spend more time with his family and escape the horrors he has seen in his career. Bronx is also a family friend as he helped her father and mother when both were trapped in a cave filled with mini Deathstalkers and an Alpha. Bronx saved both their lives as he was passing through on his own mission when he heard gunshots and shrieks behind a wall of fallen cave rocks. Had he not cleared that wall and help fight off the large wave of Grimm in that cave Pyrrha knew she probably would not have been born. Bronx and her parents Nyx and Valorn Nikos had a close friendship ever since. He was also her mentor who helped train the future champion behind her estate in Mistral in a large circular arena after Pyrrha said she wanted to become a Huntress.

Pyrrha stopped for a moment and shivered. Those.....those days of tortu-ahem training were some of the most grueling and awful days of her life. Jaune should be lucky that Pyrrha did not want anyone else to experience the hell she went through to become the fighter she is today!!! Fortunately he became her sponsor and agent after her first Tournament win and stayed that way ever since. But back to the topic at hand.

"For the last time Bronx I'm not going to do this. Do you know how demeaning this is?! Why would you even suggest this in the first place?", Pyrrha asked with a scowl on her face at the scroll set up against the wall on her desk facing her as Bronx's grizzled face stared back unflinchingly.

"Listen here girl. That fucking mess that you call the Breach in Vale has caused citizens to panic more often and become paranoid about security. Especially since a foreign power had to step in making the Vale council look incompetent. The Valeasians need something to ease their worries and fears to not attract Grimm to their walls. This will give them a huge distraction in the meantime and I admit I don't like it ,but their spirits need to be lifted girl. That is why I need you to do this.", Bronx replied passionately with a straight face as his eyes bored into Pyrrha's in a battle of wills.

Pyrrha and Bronx stared at each other for a moment ,before closed her eyes and Pyrrha sighed in defeat "Damn it. He knows I'll do it for the people. Darn it Nikos why do you have to be so kind all the time. I always go this route. I could have told Weiss to fuck off or Jaune that I want him badly, but I couldn't do it just like now. This better be worth it." Opening her eyes Pyrrha stared at Bronx who had a look of certainty as if the man knew she would give in eventually. Pyrrha thanked herself for the hundredth time for sending her team ahead to go eat breakfast when she saw who was calling. The 4-time champion the narrowed her emerald eyes. Just because she was a gentle soul doesn't mean she doesn't have some real fight in her.

"Alright we'll do this but-", Pyrrha walked up to the desk and slammed her hands down on top rattling the desk while fiercely glaring at the impassive face of her mentor, "on my terms. We do this in a private building. I want to see nothing ,but the set and a small crew. Only those that can be trusted and are not perverted. I also want access to all photos of me so I can decide if we are keeping them or discarding them before it goes to the public. I have the right to say no to certain poses and photos as well. Is that CLEAR teacher!!" , Pyrrha snarled out in defiance as she glared at her former mentor, almost daring him to refuse only to be confused as a proud smile spread across his face.

"Aye girl. I'll definitely agree with that. I'd be worried if you gave in so easily, but you held out for weeks and now are demanding terms.", her mentor to a moment to chuckle before continuing, "Your coming into your own Pyrrha I'm so proud of you for doing this, but not throwing yourself away either. Your time in Beacon has changed you for the better, perhaps it also has do to your friends. Especially that Arc boy you keep going on about." Pyrrha in response blushed in embarrassment and pushed her fingers together creating a cute picture as she wondered about her beloved leader.

"Anyways in that case I'll get the crew and location ready for shooting. The earliest I can get both done will be 3 days from now on Saturday. I admit most of that time will be spent talking to the Board and getting them to agree to your terms and drafting up the contract. I'll contact you about that or I can just email it to you and allow you to read it and sign if there are no problems. Other than that I'll leave you to your day. Take care of yourself girl, I'll contact you soon.", and with that Bronx hung up, leaving Pyrrha to stand there with a small smile as she mentally thanked her teacher. Pyrrha then stretched her lovely arms over her head popping her shoulder blades and back. Smiling at how things went her way Pyrrha grabbed her scroll and hurried off to join her teammates for breakfast before it ends and classes start.
