"Smash him in the ground!" Nora yelled in accident watching the fight with Ren sitting next to her being much more calm then his partner. "Come on Jaune! Duck! Punch! Roll! Slash Her!" Nora continued to get more exited. Ren rolled his eyes; all Nora was doing was blocking Jaune's train of thought.

"Nora." Ren said looking at Nora.

"Yes Ren?" She asked looking back and saw Ren put a finger to his lips. "Oh sorry Ren." Nora sat back on the bench still with a look of excitement on her face. God she and Ruby were almost the same only replace weapons with fighting.

Pyrrha smiled, Jaune was in good form today. She still didn't understand why Jaune asked her to fight him in the school arena this morning. "You ok?" Pyrrha asked as Jaune picked himself up from Pyrrha throwing him to the other side of the arena.

"Ya just give me a sec." Jaune got up and panted a little looking at the top of his shield trying to develop a new strategy. "Ok," Jaune took a more stationary stance. "Ready." Pyrrha smiled, his stance was for a head on assault but easy to break if she wanted to. But Jaune was still in training so time to get a little creative.

"All right, get ready." Pyrrha threw her shield too far to the left but Jaune raised his shield for defense but the shield hit the wall behind him and hit him in the back and as it was about to lose its momentum Pyrrha changed her lance to its gun form and shot the shield so it continued to rebound around Jaune hitting him every so often. This was a way to test if Jaune could think creatively in battle.

It was clear Pyrrha was holding back mostly so she didn't kill Jaune the second the match started. Ren watched Jaune try to hold his shield to stop the disk from hitting him, only working every few times and when he did he was hit with a blast from Pyrrha's gun. Jaune must be exhausted at this point he need to do something now.

Almost as Pyrrha was having the same thought Jaune fell down to one knee. This made Pyrrha stop slightly as she worried that Jaune was seriously hurt. Then she saw Jaune move to positioning his sword back handed and low to the ground. Pyrrha was in slight confusion, 'What was this?' A mix of pride and confusion at the fact that Jaune was being creative. When Pyrrha's shield flew past Jaune he threw his sword like a Frisbee at Pyrrha. Pyrrha shot the improvised projectile but it was still flying at her now more like a top; she quickly transformed her weapon to its lance from to block the sword. Jaune's weapon landed a few feet in front of her. Pyrrha turned back towards Jaune and saw him holding her shield now having both shields on each arm.

"Wow." Nora looked at Jaune. "That wasn't as good as what Pyrrha was doing but still it's so cool to see how good he has become." As Nora continued to stare at Jaune now wearing a confident smile Ren now looked at Pyrrha to see how she would respond.

Pyrrha needed to test how strong Jaune's defense was now. She threw her lance at Jaune who quickly blocked it with his new shield hitting it into the air. "Wow this thing is strong." Jaune commented on quickly looking down at the shield. "Now I understand why you use it all the time it's totally-" Jaune was cut off as Pyrrha gripped his fallen sword and she kicked up and got her lance back to. "Oh man." Jaune felt the pain of hitting the floor before hitting the ground.

As Jaune tried to regain his senses he looked up to see both his sword and Pyrrha's lance pinning his arms with Pyrrha pinning him. "Well I would say you mostly improved Jaune." Pyrrha said with a big smile on her face. Jaune just sighed.

"Well thanks for the words of confidence. But can you help me up?" Jaune said feeling a little uncomfortable with a foot on his chest.

"Oh right." Pyrrha got off of him removing the weapons so he could sit up.

"That was amazing!" Nora yelled from the bleachers. Jaune and Pyrrha gave back each other's weapons and when they got back up to the bleachers they saw Ruby, Blake and Weiss had joined them. "So they were all like slash and shooting and Jaune had two shields and Pyrrha did a cool jump and Pyrrha ended up on top." Nora finished telling Ruby.

"Oh why did I have to miss that cool fight!" Ruby complained.

"Where were you guys anyway and where is Yang?" Ren asked looking at his scroll. "It's almost time for us to go meet team CFVY." Ruby slumped her shoulders while Weiss still looked a little angry at Ruby, Blake just gave a calm look at the two and looked back to a journal she had in her hands.

"Well Yang is packing for the mission and-" Ruby started to explain but Weiss cut in.

"And Ruby was helping me get some supplies that I was planning on getting yesterday." Weiss said cutting of Ruby.

"Weiss I told you that I didn't make you stay there Yang did." Ruby tried to explain.

"Well that may be true," Weiss said now changing from slightly angry to a little scary in tone. "But you have to admit those clothes that you got to try out were nice."

"You went clothes shopping?" Pyrrha asked a little amazed.

"Weiss made these new designs for stuff we should wear, and she dragged me down to 5 different stores so she wouldn't blast me." Ruby said glancing at Weiss every now and again. "But Yang didn't like it and said 'I would rather wear something more party then that'."

"Oh it was a nice Yellow dress!" Weiss complained.

"But I told you that she wouldn't like it." Ruby said looking away from Weiss.

"Wait," Nora looked at Blake who had started to write in the journal. "What did you think of your dress Blake?" Blake looked up.

"Blake said the same thing." Weiss said pouting a little pit.

"Minus the party thing, I would just dress capsule." Blake said looking back at her journal Nora nodded.

"So are you guys excited to be going on a mission with team CFVY?" Nora asked looking at the other two girls.

"Super Excited! I can't wait to see their fighting style and weapons, and, and," Ruby started to have her hands in the air at the thought.

"Well I also look forward to see how team CFVY works as well." Weiss commented, but in the back of her mind. 'This will also give me the perfect chance to study some of their tactics in battle along with Auras, Semblance, and anything else they have up their sleeve. So long as nothing gets in the-'

"So Weiss?" Jaune broke Weiss's scheming. "What did you think of the morning battle?" Jaune flexed his arm as Ruby giggled and Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Well from what Nora told me, Pyrrha is in excellent shape today." Weiss said turning to Pyrrha giving her a nod of approval while Jaune's shoulders fell.

"Thank you." Pyrrha scratched the back of her head but soon put a hand on Jaune's now slumping shoulders. "You did well to Jaune." The Blond smiled a little.

"Thanks." Jaune said to Pyrrha.

"Not to interrupt." Ren turned to the other 7 Hunters and Huntresses who were all looking at him. Ren blinked for a second then continued. "Where are we going for this mission?" Blake smiled only a little, she was about to start explaining the research she had done on the old mine country when Oobleck decided to make his presence known.

"That is a most excellent question Ren." Oobleck yelled in his normal tone. Everyone but Ren who had seen the Huntsmen jumped in shock. "Calm down students it is only I, your teacher. RUBY GET YOUR SCYTHE AWAY FROM MY NECK THIS INSTANT!" Ruby pulled out her weapon when her teacher appeared from behind her and had the blade on his neck. But soon realizing what she had done she quickly put the weapon away. "Thank you Ruby. Now to Ren's question. Where are you going."

"I think it's a good question." Nora replied.

"Yes both very metaphorical and literal. But I think he means the Literal." Oobleck said without taking a breath. "You see the land that you will soon be hunting in is no normal corner of the world but in fact a very pointy part of the world. You see the area that you are about to venture into is in fact an old mining land back when humanity was still unable to fully fight off the grim and was originally a place that yielded a great source of dust. However it was not well fortified and was overrun with grimm. But only recently has it shown the grimm leaving the area allowing the possibility for people to revisit a part of ancient history. Who knows what kind of ancient treasure are there and what is it Ruby." Oobleck pointed to Ruby who had her hand up.

"Um well why aren't you going on this mission or any other Huntsmen for that madder." Ruby had a good point. The other Hunters looked back at Oobleck who fixed his glasses.

"An excellent question, well most huntsmen are currently preparing for the Vytal festival through out the 4 kingdoms. As for why I'm not going, I am filling in for another teacher who was to help out with a local problem." Oobleck was a mix of disappointment and vagueness to his answer which got mostly questionable looks but almost made Blake's small smile turn into a big grin. But she hid herself behind her journal.

'Pour Sun'. Blake said silently to herself remembering the conversation she had with the Monkey faunus earlier today.

"Well thanks for the history lesson, but I bet we will be fine." Jaune said trying to act with false confidences which quickly got Oobleck in his face.

"Never assume anything Jaune Ark! You must expect the unknown!" Oobleck yelled at Jaune in his face which caused Jaune to back up a bit. "Do you expect that it will start raining nuts and bolts? What if it was instantly freezing temperatures! You must never expect of assume anything!" Oobleck continued to yell at Jaune. Oobleck then pointed at one of the doors around the arena. "Do you assume team CFVY will walk in and save you?" Just then Yang ran through the door carrying a large backpack and doubled over and panting heavily. "Ah Yang it's good to see you again." Oobleck instantly stopped his angry voice at Jaune who was now cowering in fear. Yang looked up at the teacher with a look of anger.

"Yang where were you?" Weiss complained but from a safe distance and a with Ruby in between them.

"I- I was getting- some of- of the-" Yang was still panting.

"Yang was getting some work that I had assigned to your team over the break." Oobleck said so Yang didn't have to force herself to speak. "Yes I tried to give it to your team leader yesterday but I couldn't find her." Ruby felt a warm point near the back of her head.

"Oh no." Ruby looked back to see Weiss pointing her weapon at Ruby again glowing red with her eyes the same color. Ruby tried to get away but tripped and fell on her face.

"Ruby!" Weiss said in a low voice. Ruby now tried to crawl away but Weiss put her foot down on top of Ruby's cape preventing her from crawling away. "This is starting to get very annoying." Weiss pointed her weapon at the back of Ruby's head.

"Stop Weiss! Please! I didn't know! Please I'll do anything just stop!" Ruby begged.

"Well I think we came at a bad time." Said a woman at the top middle of the doorway. Most of Team RWBY and JNPR looked up to see Coco looking at Weiss pining down the girl that talked so high and might about herself yesterday.

"You're the leader of team CFVY!" Weiss then realized she was making a bad impression of herself quickly got of Ruby deactivated her weapon and bowed a little. "It is an honor to meet you."

"Ya I guess." Coco looked over Weiss then Yang who was still panting, and then Jaune who was still in shock from Oobleck's rant and Pyrrha was trying to shake him out of it. Next she looked over at Nora and Ren who were actually ready to go well more accurately Ren was Nora looked like she was more interested in what Weiss was going to do to Ruby. Finally Coco looked at Blake who had put away her journal but still had on a little smile almost like she was in on a joke. "Well I guess it's time to move out."
