I'm fixing the early chapters. I'm not changing the storyline.
Jaune woke up with a groan. Someone was causing quite a bit of noise, considering the fact that Jaune was a heavy sleeper. He scanned the room to find out what caused the early morning disturbance. The answer he found was an orange haired girl repeating 'it's morning!' while practically teleporting around a slightly annoyed black haired man. Jaune sighed and stood up and stretched his muscles, causing his body to crack and pop. Once he felt that he had woken his body up after a few stretches, he quickly got dressed, did his morning bathroom routines, and went down to the cafeteria. He sat down next to the same black haired man from earlier, who was still being spoken to by the overly energetic girl. She had a pancake in her mouth, so her words were muffled. The black haired man just endured his partner's unrelenting banter. Jaune decided not to intervene for the time being. Jaune finished his breakfast and slowly made his way to the locker room, just enjoying his walk in silence and peace.
Jaune finally entered the locker room, only to be met with the same unending banter from the orange haired girl.
"Nora?" the man said. This was actually the first time Jaune heard the man speak, but the now dubbed 'Nora' had been talking all morning.
"Yes Ren?" Nora asked innocently. She acted similar to a small child, but jaune wouldn't comment on it. She was here for a reason to, after all. She could be just as dangerous as he was.
"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise." Ren responded calmly, slipping his green pistols into his sleeves smoothly. Jaune actually thought that Ren's sleeves ate the guns for a moment.
Jaune was extremely confused, 'what kind of conversation did I just walk in on?' Jaune thought. Jaune quickly made his way deeper into the locker room. He pulled out his locker paper as he walked. He stared at the paper, and then started to panic.
"Ridiculous! There's no way I put my gear in locker six three six yesterday. I would've remembered having to count that high. Why does this have to happen today." Jaune groaned again, he felt like he was going to do that quite a bit today. Having literally no idea where he was going, he shrugged and folded the paper up and shoved it in his pocket. He turned around to see the girl in white sporting one of the most disturbing grins he had ever seen. He scratched his head and slowly approached her. He hesitated though. He still wasn't entirely comfortable with talking to her, he had already tried and it only seemed to make her hate him more. He turned back to try and his locker again, only to feel a cold presence behind him. He turned his head to see the girl in white scowling at him, with a red haired girl right behind her.
"What do you think you're doing?" the girl in white asked.
Jaune smiled slightly, "Um… walking?" The girl behind the girl in white chuckled. Somehow this caused the girl in white to scowl even more.
"How dare you not show any sort of respect to an heiress, as well as a celebrity!" She pointed at herself, then the girl behind her, who merely waved politely.
Jaune raised an eyebrow, "What are you even the heiress of? And I honestly don't know who that woman is." He pointed at the red haired girl. She stepped in front of the girl in white and outstretched her hand.
"Well then, my name is Pyrrha Nikos." the red-haired girl said. Jaune went to shake Pyrrhas' hand, when the girl in white stepped between them.
"How do you not know who either of us are?!" She yelled. Jaune scratched the back of his head again.
"Well I know who she is now, she's Pyrrha Nikos. And so far that's all I know." Pyrrha laughed again. Weiss kept her scowl.
"Fine! Since you don't know, I will grant you the opportunity to know who I am, I am Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Schnee dust company." She praised herself. Weiss waited for Jaune to respond with some shoe kissing or something, but Jaune's expression didn't change in the slightest. To Weiss, he seemed unimpressed. In reality, Jaune didn't care. He knew of the Schnee Dust Company, but that wasn't important to him.
Jaune outstretched his hands, "I'm Jaune Arc, pleased to meet you two." Pyrrha shook his hand while Weiss batted his other hand away lightly. Jaune felt an awkward silence forming, so he decided to change the topic.
"So I've been hearing rumors about teams, either of you want to team up with me?" Jaune offered. Weiss looked slightly disgusted while Pyrrha smiled again.
Weiss spoke up, "Jaune was it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?" She asked, pointing at Pyrrha.
"If I remember correctly, I believe I am talking to the one and only Pyrrha Nikos who you claimed to be a celebrity." Jaune stated. Weiss pinched the bridged of her nose in clear annoyance.
"Well do you have any idea WHAT she is famous for?" Jaune cupped his chin with his hand, thinking for a moment.
"Should I?" He asked. He tried not to offend Pyrrha, but it was kinda fun to mess with Weiss. Weiss seemed pretty up tight, so maybe some teasing would make her a bit looser and more friendly. That was his logic, at least.
"Pyrrha graduated top of her class in Sanctum." Weiss said proudly, Jaune simply held a blank stare. Why did Weiss seem proud for another person's accomplishment?
"She won the Mistral Regional Tournament four years in a row." Jaune still stared. Weiss was getting even more annoyed at the blonde's ignorance.
"She's on the front of every Pumpkin Petes Marshmallow Flakes Box!" she yelled while flailing her arms in frustration.
Jaune thought for a moment then said, "That's interesting. You must be pretty famous to be so well known, especially by an heiress." Jaune didn't really eat cereal, so he wasn't familiar with the brand.
Weiss crossed her arms, "So after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask HER to be on your team?" she asked.
Jaune shrugged, "Why not, we're all just students here after all." Pyrrha felt happy to have someone finally see her as a fellow student and not some sort of prodigy for once.
"I think you'd make a great team leader Jaune." She smiled warmly at him. Jaune wasn't sure where that had come from, but he decided to just role with it. A compliment is a compliment after all.
Jaune smiled back, "You think so? I honestly can't see that happening. I've never led anyone anywhere, well except when I led Ruby to the orientation room." He said. He turned back to Weiss.
"So how 'bout it, wanna be on my team?" Jaune asked. Weiss seemed to take offence to this.
Weiss looked away, "You're too close, Pyrrha, a little help please?" Before Jaune could respond, he felt something stick into his sweatshirt and send him flying backwards, he heard the words 'I'm sorry' before he found himself stuck to a locker. Weiss slowly walked past him with Pyrrha right behind her. She retrieved her javelin from his hoody.
"It was nice meeting you." She said with a smile.
"Likewise," he responded in a daze. He heard new footsteps approach him and heard a familiar voice, "Having some trouble there ladykiller?" He looked up to see Yang and Ruby, the latter holding an outstretched hand.
"It's Dragon Slayer actually, and I think I have a concussion." He said as he grabbed Ruby's hand and lifted himself up.
"Dragon slayer huh? Wow Ruby, I thought you were kidding." Yang said.
"I told you! I think it's cool though. It makes him sound like a knight or something." Ruby said as she smiled.
Jaune looked at Yang, "We haven't formally met yet, I'm Jaune Arc." He outstretched his hand towards Yang, who took it with a firm grip.
"Yang Xiao Long, pleased to meet you 'Dragon Slayer.'" She responded in a mocking tone.
Jaune gave her a serious stare, "That's what I am, is that a problem?" He hated being disrespected by anyone, especially when it was towards the thing he treasured the most.
Yang kept her smile, "Whoa there, you're a feisty one aren't you?" She batted her eyelashes. Ruby shrugged, she should've seen this coming. Ruby knew that Yang was a bit of a flirt.
Ruby leaned towards Jaune and whispered, "Don't humor her, she's just teasing you. Sorry if she hurt your feelings or something."
Jaune nodded in understanding, "Don't worry about it, it's just I don't like it when my powers are mocked by others. They're special to me."
Yang felt slightly guilty, but continued her happy attitude. "Sorry Jaune, I didn't know you'd take it so seriously. Let me make it up to you. Want a kiss to feel better?" She asked boldly.
Jaune just stared at her, "Wait what?" Jaune asked. Jaune wasn't aware of the concept of flirting, or relationships for that matter. Weisslogia only taught him how to fight and he was taught very little beyond that. Before Yang could say anything Ruby jumped in.
"Okay guys we need to leave, like right now!" She said as she started pushing Yang out the door, "See you at the cliff!" Ruby yelled. Jaune was still dumbfounded by Yang's last words. 'A kiss? What even is that?' Jaune thought. He'd heard of it before, but he wasn't sure what it was exactly. He thought for a moment, but then remembered what Ruby said.
"Crap! Gotta get to the cliff!" Jaune yelled as he sprinted out the door.
Jaune barely made it to the last empty platform before Ozpin began his speech. Ozpin raised an eyebrow at the blonde, who was slightly winded from his sprint over to the cliff, but then returned to his stoic demeanor.
"For years you've trained to become warriors. Today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." As Glynda spoke about the teams, Jaune stared at the forest. It looked so calm and peaceful, but he knew there were creatures of darkness lurking inside. He heard Opzin say that the person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years. Jaune gave Ozpin a quizzical look.
'That's kind've a weird way to select teammates,' Jaune thought, but this was Ozpin who came up with this. There's always some weird thing that influences his decisions. And every time it has been for the best, so why start doubting him now. He heard Ruby sound like she was upset. She must not be happy about the team situation. That was understandable. From what he gathered, Ruby wasn't the most social person. The only people that he'd seen or heard Ruby talk to were him, her sister, Weiss, and Blake. Ruby did seem to get along with Blake decently enough, but not so much with Weiss.
"I guess I'll try to be her partner then." Jaune whispered. Jaune looked to his left and saw students being launched one after another. Yang winked at him before sliding a pair of aviators on her face, then was launched. Then Ruby smiled at him and was also launched. Jaune prepared himself for the worst, as soon as he heard the small sounds of gears turning, he braced himself. He too, was launched into the air.
Jaune watched as several students made their landings, most of them were pretty smooth, while others were quite destructive. He couldn't think of any way to land using his powers. He'd just make craters. He was about to pull out his shield and just wing it when he felt something get impaled into his hood. He looked and saw a familiar looking javelin.
"Looks like my partner has been decided," He said as he was sent into a tree, suspended in the air. Jaune yelled, 'thank you!' and heard another, 'I'm sorry!'
'That girl sure is humble,' Jaune thought. Jaune stayed suspended in the air by the javelin in his hood. He tried to rip it out, but that javelin was pretty damn deep in the tree and he wasn't in a good 'ripping a weapon out of a tree' position. He heard someone complaining in a nearby bush and saw Weiss appear from the bush. She looked up at Jaune, who merely smiled and waved. He saw the distaste in her eyes as she walked away. 'Kinda figured that would happen,' Jaune thought. Soon after Pyrrha walked up to where he was hanging, "Jaune, are there any spots left on your team?" She asked.
He smiled, "That depends, how good are you at ripping a javelin out of a tree?" Pyrrha laughed lightly. Jaune's smile grew even wider. His new teammate would be a good one after all.
'This should be interesting,' Jaune thought.
