Chapter 4: The roll of luck: part 2

I changed and took my swords from my locker. I really was confident, I felt like I could win without a problem. I got ready and walked out to the arena, I saw was already there so I took my position and retracted my swords to battle mode.

"Are you two ready?" Professor Goodwitch asked, we both nodded and I felt time slow down again. "Begin" as soon as she said that Weiss used her glyphs to launch forward towards me. I rolled out-of-the-way as I saw her get closer. I wasted no time and slashed at her, she blocked it and jumped over me. As I saw this I turned one of my swords to be grabbed back-handed and blocked her attack as soon as she landed. I flipped my sword normally as I blocked her incoming attacks. They were swift yet controllable if concentrated. She attack from up top and I blocked it, seeing the opening I rolled to the side and kicked her legs so she would lose balance. I jumped onto my feet and delivered a well place kick to the jaw sending her backwards.

"Ready to give up" I said mockingly.

"Not by a long shot" she said getting up. Not wanting to let her to be able to counter attack I jumped in the air spinning with my swords.

"Coming right at ya!" I said. She was actually able to block it and deliver some well place shots with her swords. I swung again at her face, she jumped backwards kicking one of my swords out of my hands. I kept the attack, she was fast on her feet and able to dodge my attacks. I swung low at her legs but she jumped over me and attacked me from behind and with one well placed shot I was sent against a pillar. I saw her using her glyphs again to gain speed towards me. I saw that this was getting harder so I used my semblance, something I kept until I really needed it. She did strike with full force but what she hit was the pillar.

"Boo" I said as I used my time to kick her off her feet and stabbed towards her. She rolled out-of-the-way and got up. I saw that without my other swords I was crippled a bit so I started running towards the other one on the ground. It was all fine until I felt cold in my legs. I looked down and saw they were frozen in place. "What the hell!" I pushed my sword deep into the ice and shot a shotgun shell breaking one of my legs free. I was going to do that with my other leg but I felt a powerful hit on my back that broke the ice and sent me flying face first against a pillar. It did hurt like hell but I started slowly getting up onto my feet using my sword to push myself upwards.

"The winner of this match is Weiss Schnee for team RWBY" said professor Goodwitch. I felt hurt but I could still go, then I turned to the screen to see it was really over. My aura level had hit red, and while I got a good chunk of her aura it wasn't enough. 'I underestimated her and got cocky.' I thought to myself.

"goddamnit" I mumbled as I stood up straight. I slowly walked to grab my other sword and walked towards the locker room. I was pissed with myself, how did I mess up like that. I mean, getting my sword sealed my fate. I took both of my swords and threw them inside. I turned around only to find Weiss standing behind me. "You here to rub your victory in my face?" I asked extremely annoyed.

"No I was here to say it was a good match" she said surprising me. Did she just say that!?

"Wait what!?" I asked not believing it one bit.

"Yes it was good fight" she said. "I honestly believed you wouldn't do much."

"Yeah okay then" I said. "I will have my rematch one day!"

"Don't push your luck" she said returning to normal Weiss. "Though in the future I would want to see how you improve."

"This was luck princess" I said as I went to change leaving her standing there. I changed and went up to see class was finishing. I walked over to my team who were talking with team RWBY and team JNPR.

"Oh hey Jack!" Said Yang seeing I was getting closer.

"Nice match!" Said Ruby excited. I honestly wanted to win but I let my pride and confidence get in the way, either way it was good.

"Yeah thanks..." I said rubbing my head. I saw Dominic stretching for some reason so I decided to ask. "Dominic why are you stretching that much?"

"Well I feel like a train hit me..." He said "followed by a bus, followed by a car."

"That bad?" I asked, if he felt like that after a fight with Yang I would last less considering he took many hits like nothing.

"Yeah..." He said grabbing his neck. "Yang can give one hell of a punch."

"Come on it can't be that bad" Yang said laughing.

"The hell it is!" He said feeling insulted "you could have taken my damn head off." We chatted for a while, talking about the day and fights. We decided to leave and headed towards our rooms when Ruby spoke up.

"Hey Jack" she said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can I talk with you in private?" she asked, I looked over to Dominic who was giving me a look of 'damn son' and Yang giving me a death glare.

"Yeah sure" I said worried that Yang would think wrong of it. We walked to a place where they couldn't hear us and she spoke up.

"I just wanted to ask if you think I can be a good leader." She said surprising, like where did this come from?

"Yeah why?" I asked.

"You see..." she started explaining "I felt like I could do it but Weiss thinks I can't, that I am too young or incapable. What should I do?" I heard the question and I really didn't know what to answer, I mean I didn't have Weiss giving me shit but still I wasn't sure I could do it.

"Well..." I started saying, then I got an idea. "You may think you aren't up for the job but I think you are. You are a great fight, extremely talented. Truth be told leading one may fall taking the team down, in this situation you have two options. You let doubt fill you, making it impossible for the team to get up. Or you can do is stand up and help your team up. What I am trying to say is that falling at some point is normal, the point is knowing you can get up." She thought about it for a sec and then spoke up.

"Thanks Jack!" She said giving me a tight hug.

"OW OW OW" I said feeling my back being pressure. "I am still sore from that fight." She hugged lighter but let got after a while.

"Sorry I didn't know" she said blushing and rubbing her neck.

"It's okay don't sweat it" I said smiling. "We better get going or Yang will come looking for you."

"She wouldn't that" she said feeling probably insulted.

"She wouldn't?" I asked raising my eyebrow. She thought about it for a second and then spoke up again.

"Yeah well I think she would" she said embarrassed.

"Well let's get going!" I said, as we walked towards the rooms I couldn't stop thinking about the hug and how cute Ruby was. Wait! Did I think about her like cute!? I felt conflicted but nevertheless I thought it would pass after a good nights rest.

And there it is. Chapter finished, I really enjoyed writing this chapter for some reason. Also huge shoutout to all you reviewers and those who follow and favorite this story. You rock!
