The next day, students gathered in the sparring arena in mass. The news of Yang and Connor's fight spread quickly throughout Beacon and brought a large crowd. Connor stood in the middle of the combat zone with Jim and Ruby, awaiting Yang's arrival.

While they waited, Jim noticed Connor sweating slightly and asked him, "You nervous?"

"She's gonna kick my arse." Connor replied solemnly, regretting agreeing to the fight.

Jim didn't have a response to that. He knew that Yang was very strong and probably would do just that, but he wanted to give Connor some confidence. It was hard to think of anything to inspire him though.

They both then looked in the direction of the stairs as they heard someone plodding down them, thinking it might be Yang. Instead they saw Kane and Irileth on the steps, having stopped just before the entering the arena. Irileth had her trademark chummy smile, whilst Kane looked grumpy. Connor noticed something on the sleeve of Kane's black cloak, and snickered when he figured out what it was.

"It's not funny!" Kane snapped in annoyance as Connor tried to hide his laughter. After Jim started snickering like a child, Kane put a hand over the thing on his sleeve and hid it from view, Irileth frowning as he did so.

Taking a break from his childish laughter, Connor said, "I didn't know you liked little purple birds, Kane!" He then burst out laughing again along with Jim, Kane groaning and frowning in embarrassment.

"It's actually a crow and I made it for him!" Irileth exclaimed, annoyed that Jim and Connor were laughing at her handiwork.

"Well I think it's cute." Ruby pitched in, giving Irileth and Kane a sincere smile. "Connor, you should get something like that on your cloak!"

"Huh?" Connor responded, surprised that Ruby liked that sort of thing, but not wanting to upset her. "I don't know..."

"You could get a little star on your sleeve or something!" Ruby cheerfully suggested.

"Oh, I could do that for him!" Irileth offered. "A little yellow star shape thing..."

"He could have one on each sleeve too!" Ruby added.

While the two girls continued to chatter on, Jim, Kane and Connor were paying their attention to someone else. Someone in brown and yellow clothing, blonde haired, and unimaginably furious. Connor stared back at his opponent, nervous but trying to show a brave face.

"You ready?" Yang sternly asked him, and he nodded wordlessly in reply. She then walked into the centre of arena as Jim lead Ruby into the stands. The two opponents then stood at opposite ends of the small arena, facing each other off.

"Before we start, a few rules." A voice from the top of the stands announced. Everyone then looked up to see Ozpin sat in a seat at the very top of seating area, alone in the top row. As always, he had a warm cup of coffee in his hands, but he had a very serious look on his face. "First of all, this sparring arena is fitted with an aura shielding system which amplifies your auras power to protect you from wounds. It will allow you to fight each other without risk of serious harm. Next, this match will be hand to hand and semblance combat only. No blades or other weapons."

Connor stared up at Ozpin wonderingly for the duration of his speech. Why was the old man overseeing this match? He wouldn't usually come down to see random sparring matches take place. Also, why was he enforcing so many abnormal rules?

"Also, take note that the aura shielding won't protect you from everything. If I feel like one of you is too injured to continue, I'll stop the match." Ozpin continued, Yang and Connor listening closely to the rules. "Lastly, if one of you falls and can't get back up, the one left standing wins. On that note...begin!"

As soon as Ozpin called the start of the match, Yang shot forward, eager to get the first hit. Connor had no time to react to her hasty assault and received a hard punch to the face. He felt his nose break once again and blood spurted from his mouth as he fell back. He landed on his back, feeling intense pain all across his face. Yang was a hard hitter, he knew that, but this was more than he'd expected. He moved his tongue around in his mouth, searching for any damage, and found a couple of lose teeth along with a lot of blood.

"Connor!" Ruby cried out, extremely concerned for her possible fiancé. She noticed blood dripping from his nose and mouth as he struggled to pull himself up and grew even more worried. "I thought the aura shield could protect against wounds like that." She said.

"From what I understand, the aura shielding is only meant to protect the user from major injuries." Kane explained from Ruby's left side, as Irileth clutched his sleeve nervously from his left. "A minor wound such as that wouldn't be prevented by it, as its main purpose to prevent deaths in sparring matches."

"Damn it." Jim cursed, frowning at the scene of the battle gravely. "He's already taken a hard hit, and Yang's nowhere near finished with him."

Connor next rose to his feet, his face in agony. He fought the pain as best he could, but he was aware of his body shaking. It was only a mere minute into the fight and he'd already taken a serious blow. He needed to get in a hit of his own. Once he was steady on his feet, he rolled up his sleeves to the elbow then rushed at Yang. He threw a punch which Yang easily dodged like a pro boxer, then winced as he received a punch to the side.

Connor fell over sideways as Yang's fist punched into the side of his ribs. Normally a punch of such a strength could've possibly broken a rib or two, but Connor knew that the aura shield had kicked in and protected him, which meant he was in the danger zone already. He had still felt the pain of the impact thought, and struggled to rise to one knee.

As he did, Yang delivered an uppercut blow to his chin, knocking him onto his back again. He felt the hard floor smash against his spine, and knew he'd be in a lot of trouble if not for the aura shield. He understood now why Ozpin had activated them for this match.

"CONNOR!" He heard Ruby cry out again. Looking over to the stands on his left while still on the ground, he saw Ruby with one foot on the barrier, Jim and Kane stopping her from climbing over it. She had tears in her eyes, and seeing that made Connor angry.

Just as he prepared to stand up with renewed motivation however, Yang stomped her foot on his chest, making him cough up blood again. He heard Ruby begging Yang to stop, but he knew she wouldn't. Not with her sister's hand in marriage at stake.

Yang glared down at Connor, showing her blood red eyes, displaying that her semblance had been activated. "Is this all you've got?!"
