Chapter 9
I forgot Jaune has a gun and I haven't given a name
So his gun name is Gele Schutter. It's just google translate of a yellow shooter in Dutch.
In an Airship heading to Beacon, Jaune was just admiring the view until a familiar voice calls out his name. He turns to where the voice comes from and saw Ruby and Yang walking toward him.
"Ruby, you here too? Did you catch the headmaster attention?" He asks.
"Y-yeah," She sheepish responds. "But don't treat me anything special I'm just a normal girl."
"And I'm just a normal guy with a normal non-talking sword," Jaune said as look at his sword.
"Hello Miss Rose Miss Xiao Long, it's a pleasure to meet you two again." Caliburn telepathically greets them. "We should continue the conversation later somewhere private, I don't want to attract unnecessary attention." They nodded.
"So what made you choose Beacon?" Yang asks.
"Well, Beacon is my first chose since I was a kid," Jaune responds then they talk for a while waiting for the ship to land. When the ship land, Jaune separate himself to Ruby and Yang to call his mother to make sure he made it to Beacon because she worried that the airship he in crashes for the third time. After that, he looks for them when he heard an explosion from a distance. He looks where the sound comes from and saw Ruby and a familiar white hair girl. She was about to give Ruby an earful until he steps between them.
She looks annoyed and about to say something but he cut her off. "Look, Weiss, I think you should stop. Your family reputation is bad as it is don't make it worse than it already is."
"How dare you? Do you know who you're talking to?" She asks in an angerly tone as she looks at him. 'Wait, he looks familiar.' She thought to herself then finally remembers who he is. She bows down then said. "M-my apologies, sir, I-I didn't recognize you." Ruby is a bit shock and confuses by this then she looks at Jaune and he gave her a 'what explain later look' at her.
"Its fine Weiss, but I'm not the one you should apologize to." He said as he gestures to Ruby.
"B-but, she bumps into me."
"Look, both of you got in the wrong foot. Why don't we just forgive and forget? Plus, we're getting late from the orientation." He suggested. Weiss hesitates at first but she bows and apologizes then walk off.
"What was that?" Ruby asked, so he explained the reason why Weiss act like that to him and his relationship with the Schnee's family. She was shocked to what she just heard then they talk for a while as they walk to where the orientation held. When they get there, Yang called them over. "Yang, why did you leave me? I blew up; literally, I would be so much trouble if it wasn't for Jaune." She said as gestures to Jaune who standing next to her.
"Oh come on sis, I'm sure it's not that bad."
"YOU!" A familiar voice yelled. Ruby jump to her sister's arms as Weiss stomps toward her. But Jaune stands between before she can do anything. He looks at her and made shh sound then point to the stage where the headmaster was about to speak. She just crosses her arms and hmph. As Ruby slowly gets down, she whispers "thank you" to Jaune.
A few moments later, everyone is ready for bed while Yang enjoying views until she saw Jaune in a bunny onesie.
"Umm Jaune, what are you wearing?" Yang asked as she tried not to laugh. Ruby was writing a letter to her friends at Signal until she heard what her sister asked then looks and saw Jaune wearing a cute bunny onesie.
"Oh this, my mom makes this for me." He said with confidence. Yang laughs while Ruby chuckle and she think it cute. "It's soft, comfy, and has retractable electric claws." He said as he flexes his fingers to let his claws out.
Ruby looks at his claws in awe as she jumps up and rash toward his. "This is so cool. Did your mom make this? How did she make this? Can you ask her to make one for me?"
"Why she made that? Is it a bit much?" Yang asked.
"Well, my mom really wants to make sure that I'm ok due to thing happened in the past." He responded as he felt a little tired. "*Yawn* It's getting late guys, we should continue this tomorrow." They nodded in agreement and they went to sleep.
Weiss was staring at them, she is curious about how close are Ruby and Yang to Jaune. She remembers how good Jaune is in combat and he trains in Atlas military. 'I have to get him to team up with me.' She thought as she goes to sleep.
The next day,
"Ok here is her number. Just send her the design of the onesie and she will make it." He said as he walks off to find his locker.
"Thanks, Jaune, I hope we're in some team," Ruby said as she waves at him as he waves back at them.
He is looking for his locker to get Caliburn. 'I wonder how do I explain to my future teammate about Caliburn.' He thought to himself as he looks for his locker.
"Jaune, over here. Look this way." Caliburn called him telepathically. He turns and saw his locker but Weiss and a red hair girl blocking his way.
He walks toward them and said. "Umm excuse me sorry to disturb you but you two are blocking my locker."
"Oh, apologies sir," Weiss apology as she bows. Pyrrha was a bit shock on how Weiss sudden change of attitude.
"It's fine and please stops calling me sir. We're the same ages after all. Just call me Jaune." He said then sees the red hair girl and introduces himself. "Hi, I'm Jaune Arc. What's your name?"
Weiss looks at Jaune confuse. "S-sir, I mean Jaune, don't you know who she is?"
"No sorry, is she famous or something? I spend most of my time training or signing papers, so I'm not up to date to any media." Jaune said. Pyrrha is pleased to hear that.
"Oh, well educate you. She is Pyrrha Nikos." "Hello," Weiss introduce her while Pyrrha waves at him. "She graduated at the top of her class in Sanctum Academy." Pyrrha was just smiling at Jaune while Weiss continues. "She won the Mistrial Regional Tournament four times in a row."
"That very impressive," Jaune compliment her.
"Thank you," Pyrrha smile as Weiss continues talking.
"And she also becomes the mascot for Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flake," Weiss said.
"Oh that was you, my little sister love does. She even collected fifty box tops to get the hoodie, but the one they give to her is too big to her, so she gives it to me and sends another fifty box tops until she gets one with her size." Jaune said then his face turns to a deadpan look. "We have to eat that cereal every morning. I don't know why she didn't call them to exchange it for the right size, but now everyone in the family has that hoodie."
"Well, it's just you, your parents, and your sister," Pyrrha said.
"Yeah just me, my parents, and my seven sisters," Jaune respond. Both Pyrrha and Weiss are shocked on their faces. "By the way, what were you two talking about earlier?"
Weiss snap back and answered. "Oh, I was discussing if Pyrrha and I could team up. If you like you could team up."
"Well, the team are consist of four people so why not. But we better get going." Jaune said as he opened his locker and grabs Caliburn.
A little moment later at the cliff where they can see Emerald forest,
Jaune and the other students are standing on a platform waiting for instruction from the headmaster.
"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest," Ozpin said as he notices that two girls are staring at Jaune.
"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," Glynda said.
"What? Ohh…" Ruby groaned.
"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." Ruby groans as soon as she heard that while Jaune tried to pat her shoulder sympathetically. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years,"
"WHAT!" Ruby yelled in shock.
"After you're partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way, so do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path…or you will die." Ozpin said with a heavy amount of seriousness in his voice that made others stumble slightly except for Jaune, he just shrugs it off.
'I had been worse.' Jaune though.
'Don't be so sure, Jaune.' Caliburn telepathy said to Jaune. 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' Jaune nodded.
"You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, 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 you're standing, and we will grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?" Ozpin asks. Jaune raises his hand but he ignored it. "Good, now take your positions." And with that, one by one, the student is being launched into the air while Jaune still has his hand up until he's the only one left. "Yes Mr. Arc, is there a problem?"
"Actually, I just wondering if we could talk with you later?" He asks.
Ozpin raised an eyebrow. "What do mean us, Mr. Arc?"
"He meant us, Ozma." Caliburn said as Jaune just smile then he is launch into the air. Both Glynda and Ozpin are shocked that a sword just talk.
"So he survives." Ozpin murmur then regains his composure. "Well, look like we have to talk to Mr. Arc later."
At mid-air, Jaune is soaring through the air with his wingsuit. "That's a good place to land." He is looking at a five pack of Beowolf.
"Jaune, there's a pack of Beowolf over there." Caliburn said. Jaune smile while Caliburn sign. 'Wade influence still in him.' He dives into one of the Beowolf with his sword killing them, slash the next one then shoot the remaining three.
"Well, that a good warm-up," Jaune said confidently then he heard something rattling in the bushes. He fires a warning shot.
"Wait, don't shoot!" An energetic girl said while raising her hand.
"Ok, the name is Jaune Arc." He introduces himself.
"Nora Valkyrie, thank you for not shooting me." She introduces herself.
"Well, look like we're going to be partner." He said. He sees Nora look disappointed. "You planning to partner with some else, do you?" She nodded. "Don't worry, the team is consist of four members so might have a chance to team up with your boyfriend."
Nora smile for a sec then her face turns red. "Wait, we're not dating." She said in a panic tone.
"So it is a guy." He teases her.
"It's nothing like that. We're not together. I mean we are together but not together-together." She tried to defend herself but Jaune just smirks at her.
"Ok, let's focus on the test first then I'll help you with love life later," Jaune said. Nora is blushing as he looks around and saw two Ursa emerge from the bushes. They look at each other than smirk at each other. "You thinking what I'm thinking."
"You read my mind," Nora responds then they jump the two Ursa.
So what do you think?
Wade influence hasn't left his system.
The team is still JNPR and Jaune will be pair up with Pyrrha, but I don't know if I let her live or die in this story.
