"What the hell are you talking about?" exclaimed Jaune "Wetworks? That's not real right?" With a laugh Corvo said "Son, the only reason why I considered to train you is because your a blank slate. You have no form to speak of, you can hardly hold that damn sword, and quite honestly I see a lot of potential in you kid" and with another smile only a little more sinster he said "So kid, want to lesrn from the best? You've got no life here. Your friends have all but abandoned you, and Oz only let you in cause he thought it'd be a. . oh what were his words? Oh! 'A fun experiment'." Jaune looked at Corvo with disbelief and exclaimed "No! My team still needs me, team RWBY are some of my friends, and they'd never turn their backs on me." With a half hearted chuckle Corvo said "Kid listen to me, do you wanna be the reason they die? Or would you rather be the reason they come home with minor scrapes and damaged aura's?"
A Few Hours Later
Jaune sat in his bed, the clock only reading 1600. 'I can't believe I actually am thinking of going through with this? Honestly, some spec ops guy just shows up promising me to train me?' thought Jaune.
After a few moments of Jaune buried in deep thought, in walks in Phyrra. Not a care in the world and almost on cloud 9 because of utterly dominating two little kids in Beacon pretending to be strong. Cardin and one of his lackey's, honestly she couldn't remember the names of them. After all they all look the same. As soon as she stepped in the dorm she noticed Jaune, his contemplative look and strain that could be seen on his face. In his hand he held a folder. Thick as could be and threatening to rip the folder in half. Finally giving into her desires she asked Jaune "Hey Jaune, whatcha got there?" At the moment Jaune had snapped out of his trance, the voice of another person entering the room being more than enough to bring him out of the loops his brain was throwing him and exclaimed "Nothing! Just some extra credit Doctor Oobleck gave me haha. Ya know, gotts keep my grades up!" Phyrra simply nodded and said "Ya know if you need some help I dont mind? His class is hard to follow sometimes." Jaune once again declined and walked out of the room as if Hell itself was releasing its strongest hounds after him. With a quizzical look Phyrra simply shrugged and walked towards the bathrooms, ready to scrub off a hard afternoons work of knocking the 'bullies' down a peg.
'What the hell is this? Some video game? There no way he is some black operative! No way! He's not some cool badass looking guy, he honestly looks like some normal everyday guy! Well I guess that makes sense, gotta blend in right? Ahhh I hate this crap!' My mind warred with itself over this crazy thing that had dropped into my lap. One second i was getting my ass handed to me. . again, the next this guy walks up to me and basically says 'Come with me if you want to live' what the hell! I look at the folder once again and look through the dossier

Schooling: EOCA, Airborne, Air Assault, Sapper, Urban Tactics and Breaching
And that was just the tip of the iceberg! Page after page was qualifications and misisons, qualifications, and even body counts. The man was simply astounding! Every kids dream! Ya know the little kid who wants to be a some special forces operative cause he played it in a video game? He went out and did that! There were many pages where of the words were blacked out, even entire pages of redacted names and locations. Finally I decided. I wasnt gonna let this opportunity pass by. I'm tired of being the laughing stock. I am tired of being the little kid in the back of the class with not a clue in the world whats going on. I am tired of being the lovable idiot stuck in a tree waiting for his friends to bring it down. So with a final descion I went out to the Bullheads where as to be expected I found Corvo. With a determination in my voice I said "I'm ready. Shiw me what you know Corvo. Teach me what you can teach me cause honestly I'm tired of the same ol pity party!" Corvo just smiled and stated "Well boy. Its not just a training course you'll be going through. You'll be leaving behind your old life. For now. Ive talked with Ozpin, and he had told me that as soon as we're done you can come back to Becon. Hell Oz even said if your team has already graduated, all you gotta do is take one little test and if ya pass your a bonafied Hunter!"
With surprise clearly shown within my voice I ask Corvo a simple question "So, where are we going Corvo?" Then with a devilish grin Corvo said "Why my friend, we'll be going into the Grimmlands. From now on though, you will address me as 'Death'. Understood?"
With a mock salute Jaune said with fear spreading through his voice as clear as day "Yes sir"
AN:
2nd chapter out after i was a few favs and follows. It'll get nitty and gritty come the next chapter though so dont worry! I'll be honest though, itll be hella gritty. Anyways i hope you enjoyed! The slow start and the fact that no one really talked to Jaune will play a key factor but alas we're getting to far ahead aren't we? To enjoy the climax, we have to endure the teasing.
This is Chuckles wishing you a wonderful day. .or night. Hell time zones are confusing.
