Ruby paused, her scythe mid-swing. Jaune opened his eyes and stared at Crescent Rose's edge. From further away, the crowd of students remained silent. The only noise was Glynda Goodwitch declaring the spar to be over in Ruby's favor.
Jaune took note of Ruby's soft frown before stretching his mouth into a wide grin, "Don't worry, I'm used to it."
Quickly picking himself up off the floor, he stepped backwards and turned around. He could feel her eyes boring into his back as he walked back to his seat next to his team. Nora gave him a thumbs-up as he passed.
He hadn't won a single spar yet, but that was going to change soon. One day, he'd prove his worth. One day, he'd show what it meant to be a student of Beacon.
