One of Signal Academyl's top students –Yang
The talented newcomer whose potential allowed her to skip two years – Ruby.
The heiress trained by the best money could buy – Weiss
The highly skilled and mysterious survivalist – Blake
And finally he made the last member. Mysterious newcomer with unknown power.
On paper they looked to be pretty good candidates for the strongest rookie team ever assembled at the academy, but if one wanted to be practical they had a long way to go unless their flaws were ironed out one or more of them were going to die before that ever became a possibility. As a team they might have looked amazing, especially on paper, but they had a long way to go.
"Knowing about each other is a good first step, but we aren't a team if we don't know about each other's strengths and weaknesses. So Naruto is going to spar with each of us and from then on we can work on our team combinations and weaknesses." Ever since Naruto's talk about what it meant to be a leader Ruby had taken her studies a bit more seriously and that meant looking up about past huntsman and huntress teams and about how well they worked together and trusted each other.
"Wait, if Naruto ends up facing all of us then how will we get an accurate read on all of our combat abilities? Surely by after the first two of us he will begin to tire." Weiss doubts were shared with Yang and Blake as Naruto had not shown off any of his infamous stamina feats while being at the school.
"Looks like we have our first volunteer." Naruto said as he hopped up from the log and entered the training field. "You shouldn't be so quick to judge one's abilities when you do not have the full scope of their abilities Weiss-san."
Just because they were thrown together and had one success where they worked together as a team did not make them a team. A team required a certain level of commitment and trust. It required an understanding and respect of the abilities of the other people you were with, not just a one off incident.
They needed to know each other's abilities almost as well as their off if this was going to work.
Weiss was confident by the time she was done the blond wouldn't be up to sparring with anyone else. "Just because we are friends do not think I will go easy on you."
Naruto cracked a smile. "Perfect. You'll need to fight me seriously If you want to walk away in one peace."
Weiss drew out, Myrtenaster. "Aren't you going to draw your weapon!?" she asked seeing as the blond made no move to draw out a weapon.
"If you can challenge me enough to do so I will." He challenged her as Weiss pursed her lips, annoyed at the blond's dismissal of her abilities.
Weiss stomped her foot and pointed an accusing finger at him. "Are you mocking me!?"
"No Weiss-san, I am not. I am challenging you to show me your strength. Only then will I take you seriously." He explained to her which seemed to invoke a reaction out of her.
Instantly Weiss was on the attack. Opening up with her Semblance she used the glyphs to boost her speed and charged at the blond.
Naruto twisted out of the way as Myrtenaster harmlessly stabbed past him. He finished the movement and casually jumped back.
Weiss proved far from deterred as she spun with the grace of a skater without losing a hint of her momentum and launched herself at him again.
Reacting swiftly, Naruto did a sweep kick which for a brief moment caught Weiss off guard, but she merely used her free hand to catch herself and flip herself back right side up.
"You'll have to do better than that. There is no guarantee you'll only face Grimm and if you do, the older they get the smarter they are. Such a halfhearted opening will get you killed."
Once more Weiss charged him instead of opting to stop her charge short and opt for more swordsmanship then a straight on thrust. Once more Naruto took to weaving around her attacks.
'So far she is easily a strong Genin, but she is going to need more than that.' Without moving back a single step he managed to stay in place during every strike Weiss did. He only need to move just fast enough to avoid her strikes. Give her a chance to get a feel of his movements to see how much she had to adapt.
Despite her frustrations Weiss had to admit the blond's agility was impressive. By now she would at least been able to hit one of her tutors if not forced them to take a step back. If she wanted the blond to take her more seriously than she was going to have to step her game up as well.
Putting some distance between them she began loading Myrtenaster with Dust. She once more took charge, this time getting the blond to move as the spot he was on detonated seconds later from the fire dust. Instantly a knee collided with her chest sending her crashing into the ground and rolling a few feet.
"Weiss look out!" Ruby cried.
Weiss narrowly blocked Naruto's swinging foot with her rapier. "Aah you managed to get me to move. Good. But are you ready for what happens next?" He drew back his leg as Weiss rolled and got back to her feet.
She lightly clutched her chest. The throbbing sensation wouldn't go away. 'What in the world. He only hit me once. So why? Why do I feel like I'm about to collapse already?'
"I was expecting more from you Weissy. Come on, or how about I make things more interesting for you. If you land a single hit on me I'll be your servant for a full twenty-four hours?"
Weiss's eye raised in interest. Ignoring Yang's cry of outrage a smirk formed on the heiress face. Her servant for twenty-four hours? Oh the fun she would have with that.
With new found motivation Weiss took up a stance once more.
Weiss switched chambers once more before charging.
Ice? Maybe electricity. The blond pondered as she charged him. Naruto charged her ready to meet her halfway when suddenly the girl used her semblance again. She was shooting herself forward with incredible speed. 'Predictable.' He thought as he readied to parry her attack as she was readying her rapier to strike. 'Too predictable!' he realized as he paused as Weiss suddenly started to do a Pirouette and went past him.
She then aimed and shot two glyphs at him to which he easily dodged. She then followed up by launching a wall of jagged ice in his direction. Almost instantly he realized he had played into her hands when he was suddenly blasted forward at incredible speed.
Reacting quickly Naruto threw his fist forward and shattered the top half of the encroaching ice only to be hit by a black glyph striking his leg. It through him off just enough for Weiss to land a cut on his leg before Naruto spun and used his free leg to kick her away, but it was too late.
The others let out a cheer. Weiss was able to land a blow on the blond.
Weiss stood up panting in exhaustion as she had to force herself to her limits to move fast enough to hit the blond, but she tossed a smirk in the blond's direction before clutching her side and winching, falling down to one knee and using her rapier to steady herself. She began to let out a few coughs. 'What is he made out of? Steel?'
"I give up." Weiss hated giving up, but her ribs were killing her.
"Good, you should never continue on foolishlessly. You did good Weiss that honestly caught me off guard." All things considering this was the very reason they should spar. Naruto needed to learn about the combat techniques of this world. "As I promise just cash it in whenever you want." He said as he walked over to her.
"W-What are you doing?" she cried out as the blond scooped her up.
"Being a gentleman. I hit you a little harder than I meant to."
"J-Just don't drop me." Weiss remarked, cheeks burning red from embarrassment as he carried her over to the group.
With Weiss's fines and ability to be versatile he could see her glyphs and ice dust well in tandem. Like boosting Ruby's speed or mixing with Yang's flames. Well they could worry about that more once he sparred with everyone.
That afternoon the team find themselves in professor Oobleck's classroom. Currently the blond was sitting and hanging out with his new friend Velvet. The others were practically asleep or dazed and confused with only Weiss, Blake, and Pyrrha paying attention.
"This is prior to the Faunus Rights Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War! –Zip- Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie. –Zip- Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you…–Zip-… it is imperative to remember … –Zip-… that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising …–Zip-…can still be seen to this day! –Zip- Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?"
Some of the students raised their hands, including Velvet after a moment. Naruto shot a quick look at Blake and sighed, as she still refused to reveal her heritage.
"Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence! –Zip- I mean, I mean, I mean just look at what happened to White Fang! –Zip- Now, which one of you young scallions can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point…–Zip- …in the third year of the War?" Oobleck questioned the class, and saw Weiss raise her hand, "Yes?"
"The Battle at Fort Castle!" Weiss answered confidently, and was pleased when Oobleck nodded.
"Precisely!" Oobleck responded, who zipped back to desk during the answer, "And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"
Meanwhile, Jaune was still snoring until he was hit on the head by a paper football Cardin flicked at him, rudely waking him up.
"Hey!" Jaune protested, which drew the attention of Oobleck who zoomed over in front of his face.
"Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent! Excellent! What is the answer?"
"Uhhhh... The answer... The advantage... of the Faunus..." Jaune started, mirroring Weiss' confidence before faltering, and looked behind Oobleck's face to see a his partner trying to help him.
Pyrrha silently coughed and motioned to her mouth, trying to give him the answer.
"...had over that guy's stuff..." Jaune continued as saw Pyrrha cups her hand around her eyes, "Uhh... Binoculars!"
Jaune felt relieved that he thought he got it, only for the class to start laughing at him as Oobleck sipped his coffee, clearly not amused , Pyrrha groaned while face palming, while Cardin chortled and pounded his desk.
"Very funny, Mr. Arc!" Oobleck said after zoomed back to behind his desk, "Cardin! Perhaps you would care to share your thoughts on the subject!"
"Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." Cardin replied with a hint of malice as he looked at Velvet when he said it, much to the disapproval of Oobleck who shook his head, as Naruto sent him a warning gaze, and Blake leveled Cardin with a glare.
"You're not the most open-minded of individuals, are you, Cardin?" Pyrrha questioned while looking at him with mock pity.
"You can't expect much from simple minded people like him." Naruto added.
"What was that?" Cardin snapped in a threatening tone.
"It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly-perfect sight in the dark." Pyrrha answered.
"Depending on their species they have an advantage. Like bird types being able to fly or those with athletic abilities allowing them to traverse the terrain much easier."
"General Lagune was inexperienced, and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched, and the general was captured." Blaked added on to the answer and also turned to Cardin, "Perhaps if he'd paid attention in class like a certain someone I'm looking at, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure."
Seething, Cardin finally got up with his fist clenched, looking to deal out some pain on the ones who humiliated him.
"Mr. Winchester! Please take your seat." Oobleck commanded, as Jaune laughed at Cardin being taken down a notch, and zoomed up to him, "You and Mr. Arc can both see me after class for additional readings."
"Oohhhh..." Jaune moaned, his shoulders slumping, with Cardin groaned and took his seat.
"Now, moving on!" Oobleck declared and zoomed away.
A while later, the lesson ended, and the class filed out.
"You go on ahead. I'll wait for Jaune." Pyrrha told Nora and Rin.
"I'll be with you girls this will take a second." Naruto said to his team; and looked back into the classroom where Oobleck was giving Jaune and Cardin an after-lesson talk as he sipped his coffee.
"Pyrrha I know you like to be optimistic and have faith in people, but at this rate he's not going to make it."
"I know. That is why I want to help him. I know if he is given the right help he'll make it."
Pyrrha really had a good heart. Seeing the best in people and wanting to help everyone. She was really noble.
"And you're sure about this?" he asked as her as she nodded, a determined look in her eyes. He knew the reason for her determination. The clueless boy had been the only other person to see her as someone other than the invincible girl. For Pyrrha that type of bond was important, especially since being on different teams meant that it would only be a matter of time until they saw less and less of each other whenever they were out of the field.
In other words a friend she could depend on when he wasn't there. Which reminded him he needed to stop putting off what he needed to do.
"Hey, Pyyrha-chan, later tonight can I see you up on the roof. We have things we need to discuss."
"Well okay. Roof. Tonight…no problem. I will see you there. Tonight. On the roof."
