Location: city of vail. Time: two weeks after initiation

Jain was walking through the streets of vail with Leodas and two other students of a different team, one was a fellow wolf Faunus named Shade, her black tail that matched her hair waging slowly as she walked, she wore a white unbuttoned coat that extended just past her waste over a black tank top half tucked into her grey pants, a large great sword straped to her back, the other was a dark skined deer faunus named Lily she had a white and purple scarf tried around her neck a white single strap top that showed off her midriff and a purple skirt her thigh high purple boots could not hide the sound of servos coming from her right leg as she walked, despite being up for most of the day the look on her face was that of someone who had just woke up as she drank coffee from the travel cup she carried, in her other hand she held a metal suit case. As they walk telling story's of their personal achievements Jain saw a flyer on a telephone pole walking over jain pulls it off and turns to the rest of the group showing the flyer on it was a single person three wheeled vehicle with two wheels in the front and one in the rear.

"Guys, the new HXP road master is out and they are giving one out to anyone who can win a fighting competition."

Leodas spoke up, "wouldn't we have an unfair advantage."

"Looks like fun to me and hell there might be people there that could actually be a challenge," Shade added her thoughts as she smiled showing off a set of pointed teeth.

Jain stuffs the flyer into his coat pocket, "Then it's decided we're going to kick some asses"

Location: vail fighting contest

Leodas and Lilly headed for the seats while Jain and Shade walk over to the signup table, upon getting to their seats Leodas looks to lily who was dozing off, "so how do you know Jain? He speaks fondly of you so i know you two have some kind of past."

Lily sighs as she drinks her coffee, "we grew up together, he's like an older brother to me."

"Well looks like he's the first match."

As Leodas say this jain walks into the caged fighting ring without his coat and weapons, cracking his knuckles and looking at his opponent a 7 foot tall mass of muscle with a grin.

"wow you're a big fella ain't ya."

His opponent returns the grin showing off his missing teeth, "you like to talk, well so dose my fist."

the man throws a hard right straight aimed for Jains face the impact causing him to slide back a few feet and fall on his ass and causing him to let out a wheeze, "he hits like a truck," a mischievous grin grasses Jain's face "this'll be fun."

Jain gets up and cracks his neck before running forward and slamming his fists into the man one fist after the other giving a brief pause in order to give his opponent a chance to strike before dodging around him and kicking the larger man to the ground and knocking him out cold.

"Not to self, not using my aura could lead to injuries while fighting. I think I broke my finger," Jain says as he walks out of the ring. The rest of the tournament went by like a blur many fought and most lost shade lost the semi finales to a young blond girl with purple eyes, and now it was jain and the young woman. They both enter the ring with smiles on their faces.

Jain is the first to speak, "and what's your name?"

"Oh I have many names," the bell signaling the start of the match sounds and the girl darts forward punching Jain in the face and catching him off guard and sending him flying to the ground, "but you can call me Sir."

Jain gets off the ground and looks at the young woman, "well Mrs. Sir my name is Jain and you have one hell of a punch, that i for one don't want to be on the receiving end of, so I'll end this quickly."

Jain darts forward and throws a punch only for it to be caught by the girl and to be once again decked in the face, thinking fast he changes his footing and begins throwing punch after punch only to have them returned with even more force, it wasn't until about half way through the fight that he notes he was using his semblance and matching his opponent's strength but the thing that scared him was the fact that when ever he landed a soled hit on the girl his semblance caused his strength to double. Pushing the frightening thought to the back of his mind he continues the surprisingly even fight. The onslaught of punches and kicks that the two dealt to each other became sludge she as the two began to wear the other out until they both took a step back exhausted.

"Wow, you're, nothing like, the other guys, in the tournament," jain managed to get out between pants.

"Same could be said for you, I was sure that last one was going to take you out," the girl says breathing heavily, "but I'm going to end this with this next hit."

Jain just nods before readying himself as they both take a step forward and deliver a double counter cross to each other's face, both stager back swaying from side to side before the girl falls to the floor seemingly unconscious, the audience cheers as Jain throws his arms into the air, becomes unbalanced and falls on his face knocking himself out.

When jain came to, he was greeted by a feeling of intense pain coming from his right cheek, looking around he found he was on a medical cot, the blond girl laying on a different cot next to him seeing his friends he said the first thing that came to mind, "did anyone get the plate of the truck that hit me."

"Jain's up," shade was the first to comment as she looked at him.

"How are you feeling?" Leodas asked stepping forward and handing Jain an ice pack which he gratefully took and placed on his cheek.

"Like i got into a fight with an urea and decided to only use my face," jain looks at the blonde, "any Idea who she is?"

"Her name is Yang, and from the fact that she actually knew how to fight and had an aura, my guess is she's a student at one of the first step combat schools, most likely Signal," Leodas spoke getting professional as he gave his leader the information he had gathered.

"I had the same thought and the funny thing is, i think we have similar semblances, when we were fighting i noticed that each time i hit her she seemed to hit back even harder."

Leodas thought about that and nodded, "anyway we should get going, we have classes tomorrow and you have that leader class that starts tomorrow."

"Yeah yeah, i get it, wait what about the prize?"

"It will be delivered to Beacon Academy student garage in two days, don't worry, I made sure it will be in green."

"Oh thanks," jain stands up and picks up his belongings before turning once more to Yang, "should we leave her here or..?"

Shade answers his question as she carries a sleeping lily who had run out of coffee in the middle of the competition, "don't worry they already called her father, she'll be taken care of."

"Oh ok then," jain turns and heads out the door, and heads back towards Beacon.

Location: Team JULE dorm rooms

Jain layer on his bed plucking the strings of his mandolin as the rest of his team did their own thing, Leodas sat at the desk going over different combat strategies while simultaneously reading a action novel, Ulya laid on her bed taking a afternoon nap, and Elesha watched the news. They minded their own business until Jain picked up something on the news.

"Another grisly murder last night from the Faunus killer as four more body were found in an alleyway in Vale, police have issued a curfew of nine o'clock for anyone who is not a huntsman, in other more uplifting news..."

Jain sat on his bed looking with the same horrified face that Elisha wore, only they wore it for different reasons, Elisha wore it because someone would do that to another person, but as Jain looked at the screen a single thought kept going through his head, 'he's back, and he's found me.'

Dun dun dun, cliffhanger but more importantly a hint to the overarching story that will unveil itself as the story progresses.

anyway hope you enjoyed and as usual Stay swifty my friends
