"Thank!"

The textbook definition of Pyrrhic victory was "a victory achieved with a great cost."

In Oum's case, he lost faith in his own sanity in return for finding small miracles sprouting to life before him.

A vibrantly red-haired huntress with a ponytail sat on his worktable, equipped with a spear and shield. Ruby playfully touched the huntress' ponytail while Weiss leapt over and hugged the spear-wielder, pressing her plush cheek against the newcomer's.

When Monty Oum designed Pyrrha Nikos, he made sure to give her the image of a strong warrior under an identity crisis. Much of her lack of experience in socializing properly seemed to carry over, for the tiny Pyrrha sitting on the worktable looked utterly confused on where to start with responding to Weiss'… cheek press, or whatever it was supposed to be.

Pyrrha quickly became a new center of attention. Excluding the ever-respectful Weiss (who did not seem to respect personal space in general), everybody saw Pyrrha mostly as a good friend rather than the famed huntress she was. As soon as she met Pyrrha, Yang smacked her back with a wide grin. While Blake waved at her with a smile from a distance, Nora propelled herself towards the redhead and ended up crashing into a wall with her treasured team member.

And, much to Oum's humor, Jaune greeted Pyrrha and made the huntress in question turn as red as her vibrant hair.

Staring at the new-face among the tiny miracles of JNPR for a bit longer, Monty watched the tiny huntresses on his table play together before returning to his work.

As soon as he finished his work, Pyrrha accidentally smacked the heel of her foot against a wall.

Oum carried a teary-eyed Pyrrha down to the living room, cupping his hands to prevent her from falling off. Not only did he find Pyrrha's injury to be extremely ironic, but he also found it amazing that she hurt herself the minute he finished working on a short animation sequence involving Pyrrha.

The red-haired huntress did well in concealing most of her pain. She looked like she could use some help, so Oum, being the responsible caretaker he (apparently) was, decided to make her feel better.

It was strange, though. Oum swore that he saw the tiny miracles leap around dangerously high heights for them. Even when they fell, they never really seemed to feel that much impact due to their light bodies in general. Heck, Pyrrha herself had jumped off of a table to say "Hi" to a wandering Jaune.

But the instant moment she smacked her heel against a wall, she fell over and became a poor little thing.

Bringing an injured Nikos into the living room was somewhat effective in stirring Sheena up. Surprised at the presence of such a vulnerable-looking midget of a huntress, Sheena practically flew off to snatch medicine that they had barely ever used for the past few weeks.

She moved with such a virility that never appeared even when Oum himself had been hurt at one point. Classic Sheena. But then again, there was a chance that he would have done the same if he was in Sheena's position.

The "doctors" in the house patched up Pyrrha quickly. The huntress blinked as she stared at her heel, which was wrapped in bandages.

Feeling much better than before, Pyrrha smiled as she lifted her head, letting out a high-pitched, yet soft, "Thank you!"

Sheena melted and lay unconscious on the sofa. Yet again, she had been defeated by the innocence of the young huntresses.

With that in mind, as Oum picked up the tiny Spartan and walked back to his room, he took note of how the tiny miracles felt a little heavier than before.

A little after Pyrrha was brought back to Oum's workroom, Jaune saw her and waved at the huntress with a bright smile on Oum's bedsheets.

"Hi!" He said, separating his words. "Pyrrha!"

From the animator's worktable, Pyrrha went red like roses as she shyly waved back.

"Hi… Jaune!"

"Feel… better?"

"…Ya!"

Jaune giggled.

Pyrrha fell over in embarrassment. She nearly sent her heel crashing into the ground.
