The odd one out
AN/ Hello, read the bottom. I am so sorry readers i fucked up and put i chapter three up before i did chapter two sorry about that.
Chapter 2 WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?
Beacon, just outside of the auditorium where the first year entrance ceremony is being held. A commotion could be heard as Second years and third year students walked about looking to the auditorium questionably as they heard shouting coming from inside only for a window on the side of the auditorium to shatter as someone jumped through it. In an instant voices could be heard shouting out as a horde of first years stormed out through the doors and the window to chase after one Jaune Arc. As Jaune ran across the courtyard he jumped over a bench were two girls had been sitting, barely missing them.
"Sorry!"
He shouted back only to speed up in his running as he saw the horde of girls that had chased him out of the auditorium. He also caught a sight of the girls he had jumped over. One was an adorable rabbit Faunus, while the other was a hot but pissed off looking chick in shades and a beret. As he ran though he figured he could find those girls again and apologize later after he saved himself from whatever it was all the other girls were planning on doing to him. 'Damn it how did this happen!?' He thought, frustrated at the whole ordeal as he remembered what had led up to him running away from a horde of badass female warriors.
He cursed that hot snobby white haired girl who had demanded he leave the school or prove he had aura. He didn't know how to prove he had aura and he said that, but that girl was adamant and was probably trying to kill him. He didn't even do anything to her and yet she had basically made all the first years want to cut him open and examine him. Ok exaggerating but he felt he had the right to exaggerate at the moment. As he ran turning down a corridor he dove into a classroom quickly slamming the door behind him and turned sprinting up the stairs near the students and quickly jumped out the window.
As he jumped out the window he somewhat regretted the idea as he smashed into the ground so hard he thought he broke something till he remembered he had aura and he saw he was ok. After lifting himself off the ground and sprinting for another good 10 minutes he dove into a bush and hid sitting in the bush, which sadly was a rose bush, which was at the moment sticking him with thorns as he held back his hiss of pain from the small little spikes now pressed all around him. He sat in the bush for what felt like hours which happened to only be 20 minutes and luckily he had gotten used to the rose thorns.
While in the bush he had heard countless girls running by yelling to each other if they found him. Luckily after an announcement was made by the vice headmistress which demanded all the girls head to the ballroom or face her wrath. While the vice headmistress didn't say that, her tone said it for her. So Jaune waited for another minute before sticking his head out of the rose bush to look around. Sadly the moment he did he came face to face with Ruby who was smiling at him.
"Hey."
She greeted only for him to scream and turn to jump out of the bush only for a strong hand to clamp down on him as he was lifted from the rose bush. His legs swung a little as he was lifted up and he quickly shielded his important bits while pulling his legs to his chest.
"Don't kill me!"
He shouted only to get a laugh as he looked to Ruby who was just smiling at him giving a small wave while the blonde girl he remembered seeing her with in the auditorium stood holding him up.
"You are a weird little dude."
The blonde girl said as he just looked her over confused at what was happening. The blonde was wearing a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest resembling a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves. A pair of short shorts with a weird half skirt half banner thing on, alongside some brown boots.
"Sup, my name is Yang."
The blonde introduced as she sat Jaune down as he slowly looked her over again before slowly standing up as Yang looked up at him.
"Ok, not little but when you cower you seem to shrink."
Yang teased with a small innuendo that Jaune just blushed at while she snickered.
"Leave him alone Yang, he just got attacked by all the first years."
Ruby said smacking the blonde on the arm as she just rolled her eyes at her.
"Come now Ruby, if a guy runs from a horde of girls either he has no confidence or he has a sma... You now its just he has no confidence."
Yang said catching herself before she said something inappropriate. Jaune on the other hand just groaned at that as he looked the two over confused as why they weren't acting like the other girls. That and he was a little angry at Yang for what she was saying about him.
"Ok, what's going on?"
Jaune asked as Ruby turned back to him smiling.
"I wanted to talk with you, that and I figured if I helped you it would be repayment for you helping me earlier."
Ruby said waving her hands around some. Yang just patted Ruby on the head as she turned giving him a toothy grin.
"That and I wanted to check out the man with aura, as well as the guy who helped my baby sis."
Yang said as she came right up to Jaune as she looked him over. He just took a step back as she came into his personal space.
"You may have some muscle but you don't look all that impressive."
Yang said flatly causing Jaune to sigh as he pushed her back before looking to Ruby.
"Thank you for the concern Ruby, it means a lot, so your debt is repaid so expect me to do what I can when you are in need."
Jaune said as ruby just beamed happily at the praise as Jaune turned back to Yang who was at the moment poking him in the chest and getting lower and lower.
"And you can stop touching me."
He said as he caught her hands just as she got to center of his stomach. Yang just laughed as he poked him in the nose.
"You are a really strange guy if you don't want a girl touching you." Yang said causing Jaune to blush again as he smacked her hand away. "So how did you unlock your aura?"
Yang asked getting a groan from Jaune as he rubbed a hand over his face. Only before he could answer Ruby spoke up.
"Yeah, can you two explain what that means to me?"
Ruby asked raising her hand as the two blondes turned to her questionably. Jaune looked to Yang who just shook her head.
"Ruby, you do know what aura is right?"
Jaune asked only to get a small pout from Ruby.
"Of course I know; I also know everyone has aura so I am confused as why everyone thinks it's weird you have it."
Ruby said only for Jaune to realize she was only misunderstanding what everyone was saying as he looked to Yang to see if she was going to explain.
"You are right Ruby everyone has aura, but only girls can unlock it to fight."
Yang said as Ruby looked at her confused.
"What are you talking about, I saw plenty of guys back at Signal, and even some of the teachers were guys. If they didn't have their aura unlocked why would they attend a combat school?"
Ruby asked as Jaune just rubbed the back of his head not really sure how her logic made sense. He has heard of plenty of combat schools having standard curriculum for boys, so it wasn't all that surprising for boys to be seen at the combat schools, but Huntress academy's were straight female only with no male students what so ever, and yes there are the rare male teachers but those are only if the school is lax with it rules.
"Ruby, did you ever once see any of those boys when we were sparing back at Signal?"
Yang asked as Ruby cupped her chin in thought before lowering her head.
"No."
Yang just smiled at that as she patted her sister on the head.
"And that is the point, you see only us kick ass girls can unlock our aura, but this dorky friend of yours,"
Yang said pointing at Jaune.
"Hey."
He said offended by her words only for her to ignore him as she continued to talk to Ruby.
"Is the first man in history to have his aura unlocked, meaning he is special."
Yang said as Ruby absorbed the information for a second before looking at Jaune as her eyes sparkled.
"That means you are like really cool then!"
Ruby shouted as she jumped at him, looking him over as he just stepped back surprised by her reaction while Yang just rolled her eyes at her sister.
"I wouldn't say I am cool."
Jaune said as Ruby ran around in a flash of rose pedals as he spun around to try and find her doing a complete 360 before coming back around to find her in the same spot staring at him amazed.
"So what can you do that we can't? Do you have some crazy power specific to guys?"
Ruby asked as Jaune just stared shocked by her crazy reaction only for Yang to just reach out grabbing her hood pulling it over her head as she came up.
"Easy Rubes, don't start acting crazy on the poor guy, you might break him."
Yang said as Jaune just rubbed the back of his head.
"Look Ruby, I don't know what to tell you seeing as I don't know anything." Jaune said as Yang and Ruby looked to him confused for a second before he continued. "You see I have only had my aura for six months now, so I have no idea how it works, let alone what it does for me. If anything all I can say is that my aura saved my life, now I am here as a Huntsman, the first Huntsman."
He said not really sure what he should do at the moment or to really say to the girls hoping his answer was enough. Yang looked like she was ready to question him but instead he just had Ruby jump right in his face staring amazed at him
"Oh my god, you have only had your aura for six months, but you were invited to Beacon! That's amazing you must be super strong!"
Ruby said shocking Jaune as he was about to argue to let her know he didn't have any training or real experience fighting the Grimm only for Yang to speak up pulling Ruby away.
"Well if that's true than you must be one kick ass fighter, I would love to see what you can do. But for now why don't Rube's and I here get to the ballroom. I rather not get in trouble with that Goodwitch chick."
Yang said turning away while dragging Ruby by her hood as she held her hands at her throat as she was strangled but as Yang was leaving she just winked at him as she left, not turning back as Jaune just stood there holding his hand up.
"But I don't have any training."
He said to himself as his reaction was delayed from the shock of what had just happened. He dropped his hands and sighed tiredly. 'Well shit, that's going to cause some problems.' He thought as he looked up to the sky as he saw the emerald tower overhead. As he did though he thought back to what the vice headmistress had said about the first years spending the night in the ballroom and he wondered if that meant him to, before he remembered he had to go and kill the headmistress for what she did back in the auditorium.
'That's right her office is at the top of the tower.' He thought as he sighed and moved to go and confront her for what she did.
Xxxxxxxxxxx
Jaune stood in an elevator as it slowly ascended up the emerald tower to the headmistress' office. As it did he just thought back to the horrible experience he had just went through before wondering if he should just up and leave like that white haired girl had said he should. The only problem he saw with that was the risk of the other Huntress academy's trying to kidnap him for either experimentation or to be used like a breeding horse. He didn't like either option, while the later sounded appealing that was his stupid teenage hormones acting up because they were stupid. He was pulled from his thought as the elevator dinged signaling he was at the top.
As the doors opened he was greeted to the strangest sight he had ever seen. He walked in to see that somehow he had walked into a clock as he saw all the gears through a glass floor and ceiling. He gawked at the sight, shocked by what he was seeing only for a voice to draw his attention.
"Are you just going to stare or are you going to come in."
A female voice came as he looked straight ahead to see Olivia Pin walking out from a back room no longer dressed in her suit as she was now wearing a form fitting green sweater and green skirt. Jaune paused as he looked her over surprised out the outfit change. Mostly because when he saw Olivia in her suit she didn't look all that special but sadly now that she was wearing a form fitting sweater and the green skirt, she was surprisingly hot. Again that was his stupid hormones acting up again. He quickly shook off his stupid thoughts and walked into the room, quickly making his way to the headmistress' desk where she sat drinking a cup of coffee.
"So what brings you here?"
Olivia asked, a small grin could be seen on her face as Jaune remembered why he came up to the room.
"Oh, I just came to see how you were doing. You know check in on you after you threw me to the wolves!"
Jaune shouted the last part as Olivia just sighed as she set her mug down, waving to the chair in front of her for him to sit down. He reluctantly sat down crossing his arms more than a little pissed by what she did in the auditorium while also worried about the fact he just shouted at a women who could probably kill him with a flick of the wrist. He didn't think this all the way through.
"Jaune, I didn't throw you to the wolves."
She said calmly only for him to scoff at her.
"You didn't really, the horde of girls that just chased me through your academy after you announced to them that I was attending, begs to differ."
Jaune argued as the headmistress just sighed as she leaned back in her seat.
"True that the first year girls did get a little ahead of themselves, but that wasn't why I announced your attendance, there was a reason for me announcing your presence here."
Olivia said as Jaune raised a questionable brow at her.
"What would that reason be?"
He asked, his interest peaked.
"You see, I wanted the students to know about you, to try and be near you. If they did that I figured you would have an easier time adjusting to how things are here. That and I figured if the first years all knew about you, than they wouldn't be worried about the fact that a man will be staying in the school with them."
Olivia said confusing Jaune while also explaining a lot, seeing as it was smart for the students to know about him and at least understand his situation so he could adjust quicker but the last part confused him.
"Wait, what do you mean not worry about me, you make it sound like these girls haven't been around men before."
Jaune said as Olivia just took a sip from her coffee.
"Well for some that is true." She said surprising Jaune as she put her coffee back down. "You see while some of the girls have attended combat schools that allowed for male students to attend some didn't, meaning a few of the girls will be worried about you being around. That and some family's find it that men are not worth much, if they have Huntress heritage."
Olivia said as Jaune thought back to the hot white haired girl who went ballistic on him in the auditorium. He just sighed and leaned forward rubbing a hand over his face as he leaned his elbows on the headmistress' desk in frustration.
"Great, so not only do I have to worry about not being as skilled but I have to worry about some girls thinking of me as if I am a bug. This is great."
He said tiredly only for Olivia to reach out patting him on the head as she leaned forward smiling at him reassuringly.
"Do not worry, I will do my best to make the transition easier, so will the teachers, so you don't have anything to worry about."
She said with a small smile which made Jaune blush as he saw how close he was to her and quickly pulled away and stood up coughing into his hand.
"Well I guess I will take your word for it." He said turning around ready to leave to he thought back to what the vice headmistress had said. "Oh, yeah, that woman, Goodwitch said that the first years will be staying in the ballroom tonight, does that mean me as well?"
He asked quickly hoping he didn't have to spend a night in a room possibly full of either crazy girls or girls who wanted to castrate him. Olivia shook her head as she typed into her scroll.
"No, I had Glynda set up a temporary room for you."
Olivia said as Jaune nodded, glad to hear.
"I will have Glynda take you to the room."
Olivia said smiling as she called in her vice headmistress as Jaune just waited. The two waited for just a few minutes while Olivia offered Jaune some coffee to which he kindly refused and after asking about what the school will be like while Olivia warned him of the risks he understood and accepted them seeing as it seemed better than just being made a test subject for the rest of his life or a breeder. So he was fine taking some risk here at Beacon. When Glynda walked in Olivia introduced Jaune to her and explained the situation to her as she seemed very level headed and understanding. After the introduction was finished Olivia let them go and Glynda took Jaune to the room he would be staying at for the night.

Jaune stood staring into a tiny 6 by 6 room as Glynda stood beside him typing into a scroll.
"This is my room for the night?"
Jaune asked as he looked at what could only be called a broom closet with a small futon thrown in for him to lay on with a single blanket.
"Yes, well we were short on time and we couldn't just give you one of the dorm rooms till you went through initiation so this will do for the night."
Glynda said not looking up from her scroll as Jaune just stared at the tiny room and sighed.
"This is all you could find?"
Jaune asked skeptically only for Glynda to shoot him a small glare freezing his blood as he gulped and walked into his broom closet.
"I love it."
He said as Glynda than nodded and turned back to her scroll.
"You will find your baggage here tomorrow morning, after you get your gear get dressed and then you can attend breakfast. Sadly, we do not have a locker room for you so when you need to go in do so after the female students, we wouldn't want any accidents to happen."
Glynda said the last part glaring at him like he would do something to the students. He didn't say anything as he just gulped and nodded. With that she left him in the broom closet as he just slowly leaned back against the wall sliding down it till he hit the floor and sighed. 'This is great.' He thought tiredly as he just leaned his head back against the wall and looked up at the ceiling.
"Best first day ever."
He said sarcastically as he just sighed again. He figured he could just go and have dinner and then go to bed seeing as the day was basically over. He stood up ran off to the mess hall to check if the first years were in and let out a sigh of relief when he saw the mess hall was empty. He went in and asked for some food from the cooks who all at first looked at him like he was the strangest thing ever but gave him the food he asked for after he paid them some lien. He wasn't happy with that but he didn't care, he was hungry and wanted the day to be over.
After he ate he ran back to his broom closet and figured he could just get some sleep seeing as he was tired from the day and just kicked off his shoes and took off his hoodie. He then laid down in his white under shirt and went to sleep.
Xxxxxxxxxxxx
Jaune laid back down on the futon, trying to sleep as he tossed and turned before just kicking the blanket he had on off as he sat up sighing. 'Damn it it's hot.' He thought wiping some sweat from his brow as he pulled his undershirt off and kicked open the broom closet door for some air. As he did he sighed when he saw that there was a balcony right across from his broom closet. He figured fresh air would do him good and stood up and walked over to the balcony and leaned on the railing. He looked out over the school as the shattered moon shined down from over head along with the light from the emerald tower. He let out a sigh of relief when he felt the cool night air hit him.
'That's better.' He thought as he looked out over the school. Even at night the school still looked amazing. He wondered why the school looked like a castle before just discarding the thought as he looked down over himself. As he looked down he saw the scars on his left shoulder and chest from when he had been attacked by the Beowulf. He sighed and thought about why he was there. Thanks to one bad day, his entire life got turned upside down.
He still didn't know if that was a good or bad thing, but what he did know was he was in over his head. He really didn't know if he was ready for what was going to await him tomorrow in initiation but he knew he had to face it. Even if he wasn't as skilled or as strong as the students he would have to get as strong. With one last sigh he stilled himself mentally and prepared himself for what tomorrow would bring. He looked up at the emerald tower one last time before turning and heading back into his broom closet to sleep. 'I just have to survive, after that I should be able to learn from everyone here.' He thought as he lay back down and closed the broom closet door and went back to sleep.
