Anyways hop you guys like the story and at the end ill respond to some reviews i got from the last chapter, enjoy the story!


"Gather on the launch pads, children." Glynda said to all of us.

We gathered near the cliff side and got a breathtaking view. The broken moon was visible and ancient ruins were jutting out of the landscape. We all lined up on the launch pads. I could see Yang next to Ruby and Nora next to Ren, Cardin was next to Pyrrha. I could see him trying to talk her up and I got mad. 'How can he think he can talk to her after trying to beat her up!? He's already on my bad side, he better not try anything today.' Blake could tell that I was mad, as she had ask me "You okay, Jaune?"

"Yeah, it's just Cardin." I said like his name like it was acid in my mouth.

"How do you know him? I mean I researched everyone, besides one." She looked at me and pointed her fingers but she still continued "Cardin Winchester, uses a mace that has a fire dust crystal in the center. He is a power house with little form. Hates Faunus and is a mean person all around."

"I will never understand how you can gather information so well."

"Many people have said that, now back to my question. How do you know him?"

"They were cornering Pyrrha, the one he's talking to right now, and threatening her. He now has the nerve to talk to her after he tried to assault her. People like that make me angry, but to be racist towards Faunus, that makes me want to beat some sense into him." I leaked some aura but managed to not let Ozpin notice, but Blake did.

"What was that? The temperature just changed as you got mad, you can do that?"

"When we're partners, this will become annoying" I said, smirking.

"Likewise. Now that's interesting. We'll have to test that out. What's the limit to how many degrees you can change the area around you?"

"I think it's around twenty either way when I will it, but more like forty when I'm mad. I do keep my emotions in check, so it's only been a few times when I have gone to that extreme."

"I can't wait to know you Jaune; you seem like an interesting person. Calculating and smart, with a love for Faunus, and on top of that, amazing powers."

I blushed as I tried to think of something to deny the praise, as I felt weird taking it from Blake. "Thanks I guess, I mean you're really amazing. I know that you will probably be the best recon there is, and that you can create copies of yourself, that's amazing!"

She blushed and I asked if she was ok, I mean I didn't want her sick on the day of initiation "Are you ok? You're red right now." I tried to put my hand on her forehead but she batted my arm away and cut me off

"I think Professor Ozpin is about to talk so I think we should talk later. See you in the forest Jaune."

"You too, Blake."

Ozpin was right in front of me studying me. I stared into his calculating eyes and the tension was almost visible. We were staring at each other and testing the others' will. I could see that he was curious to my nature and that he wanted to find more about me. I wanted a sparring partner that I can go one hundred percent at, other than dad, of course. But he didn't need to know that yet. The rest of the class looked at us and were probably wondering what happened. He broke the stare and walked in front of the whole class. He took another sip of his mug then spoke.

"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin had more emotion in his voice then I had ever heard him, and he actually didn't have his mug next to his face.

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates, today." Wow, no sugar coating with her. 'Is that Ruby? Wow, she has a really cute whimper'

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well." 'Calm down ruby, gosh.' "That being said," 'my god he's smiling, that's not good' "the first person you make eye contact with after landing will you be your partner for the next four years."

"WHAT!" 'GOD RUBY, you don't have to be so loud. Wow Nora, really? I was going to do that to Blake' I smirked while I gave Blake an elbow to her chest. She huffed at me and turned back at Ozpin but I still smiled.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything, and anything in your path, or you will die." I chuckled at his last sentence. 'I can't WAIT to kill everything in my path. Literally more power to me.'

"You will be monitored and graded for the duration of the imitation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item as well as your standing and we will grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

"Yes, what will determine how we become team members?" I asked because dad didn't tell me this far on what Ozpin was going to do.

"Oh, here's something you don't know mister Knight. How odd. I will decide the teams based on teamwork and what level the teachers as a whole think each individual student gets." 'Wow, Ozpin can be very scary when he needs to be.'

"Ok, then," I said sullenly.

"Miss Goodwitch?"

"Of course Professor" She said with a smile 'What is she smiling abOOUUT!' I was thinking while I got launched into the air as I was the first one launched.


I felt the wind prick my face as I fell down into the forest, and even though I was going to have to tell Ozpin and Glynda my powers it didn't mean that I should use them all, so I couldn't use my wings. The ground was coming up fast as I was thinking so I decided to try and make my landing as conspicuous as possible. I saw the ground and started my plan.

I channeled my semblance and my feet were then covered with my black aura. Then the Grimm bone started to appear. They covered my feet like new shoes and with an intricate red design of my family symbol. The ground met my feet and it cracked under me. It looked like there was a floor of webs, only they were completely black. My feet were again covered in my aura and then the Grimm bone shoes were gone. I looked at my surroundings and I sat down. I put my legs in the cross position and started to mediate. I could feel all the emotions, Ruby's worry, Yang's fury, and Nora's happiness. Then I could feel blank spots of emotion, and started to figure out what Grimm are out there. I could feel a giant Nevermore, and I could also see in a cave that there was a very powerful death stalker. 'He will be Very useful. Oh, what's this?'

I then saw an Ursa Major come out of the forest and roar. 'He looks powerful, at least on a Grimm scale' I unsheathed Crocea Mors and stood up. I approached it and it roared even louder. I took a fighting stance and waited for it to come to me. It rushed me, crushing bushes and a tree in its path, but was still gaining speed. I sidestepped it and it knocked into a tree. It then turned around and walked over to me. It stood on its hind legs and started swiping 'that's new; I think he might be the one Ursa MajorI keep'. It stepped to my left and then to my right, but I always kept just out of range. Then it took both claws and went for my left side. I brought my shield up and took the brunt of the force. 'I actually felt that, there is no way I'm not going to keep him, but I can't train him until I get a moment to myself. Ozpin probably has cameras and everywhere.' While the beast's claws were on my shield, I knocked them up. His arms went flailing into the air as I raised my sword to his neck. It sliced through its neck quickly, its head falling on the ground with a loud thud. The body soon fell after words and my sword was covered in blood. I wiped the blood off on the ground and continued forward.

I kept going north to the emotion of Blake's pleasure, and I kept running into Grimm 'how did she get there so quickly?' I ran into a pack of Beowolfs here and an Ursa over there, no big game yet like the Deathstalker or Nevermore. I could feel that Weiss and Yang were trying something stupid, at least to Weiss. But while I walked I felt two major Grimm come upon me. I saw two King Taiju, one black and one white, and they started to wrap around me. I saw that they were intertwined with each other 'must be a pair' so I took out my sword and jumped up into the nearest tree. They circled the tree trying to figure out a way to get up. When one of them separated with the other I made my move. I jumped out of the tree and shoved my sword swiftly into its skull. It tried to flail up but that only impaled itselfmore. It went limp and I could tell that it died.

The other one hissed, its tongue was out. It charged me, but I had already had my sword out of the other's dead body. It ran straight into my blade killing itself and got another King Taiju for me to control. 'They will be fun to use; actually, I have never had them under my control. I wonder what part of my body should become part snake?"


Then I felt Blake's pleasure and I made my way to the north. I came up to a relic site and knew this is what Ozpin was talking about. It had many pillars made of granite with new vines and dying ones all over the place. In the corner of the ruins I could see and feel Blake rubbing her ears. We made eye contact and I started descending the hill. I walked closer and closer and saw the relics. They were chess pieces all ordered in a half circle on pedestals. I saw Blake get up and stop rubbing her ears and her feelings subsided to one of a concealed happiness. 'I have to know how you hide your emotions so well. Were partners now so I guess that I have to tell you everything, and I will know if you tell me everything. I guess it does work out in the end. Blake and I approached and I started the conversation with a toothy grin

"So were partners now" I said as more of a fact than a question

"Indeed we are. Aren't you happy?"

"I'm not going to give it to you that easy" I stuck my tongue at her and she just chuckled and continued "Chess pieces, huh. Wonder why."

"No idea... So Kit-Kat, did ya feel good?" I asked a grin on my face "Just like in your Ninjas of Love novels?"

"HOW!? You know what, I'm not even going to be surprised anymore." She said with a face that looked as red as Ruby's scythe 'god that is too cute.'

"The book you left me was very interesting." I said with a knowing glance. Her face turned completely red and she looked away. "I read them too, don't worry."

She looked up at me and said "You're full of surprises aren't you? And you still barely comprehend women's emotions."

"Wow that really hurt" I put my hand on my face with mock hurt "now what piece shall we take?"

"How about the black queen?"

"Okay..do you hear screaming?"

"HEADS UP!"


A.N/ IM going to respond to some reviews here at the end of the chapter from now on, cause why not?

Lordofthenight97- Imagine if you were a math professor at Harvard and you said for some reason 2+2=5. That's how i imagine Weiss' reaction to being rightly accused of not knowing much about dust.

Koye- Blake has finally got someone to open up to so that's why i think she would be emotional

code R.R- me too :D
