Jaune walked around aimlessly before the fight as time ticked away. "Only 20 more minutes now," Jaune said as he sat down along some lockers. Becoming a Low-Tier King in one day after just gaining an ability is one thing… but fighting all the pieces in one day?! This shit was just insane. Why couldn't Beacon be like normal schools where there were only one set of pieces and no different floors?!
Jaune ran a hand through his hair and stood up before he heard a voice. "Yo Arc!" Jaune turned before being punched in the face.
He staggered back before seeing an indigo-haired boy with purple eyes that was around his height with a shit-eating grin on his face. "Ohh sorry! Didn't see ya there!" a female voice called as Jaune turned to see a blond girl walking up next to the other boy with her blue eyes cleaning mischievously.
"Oh shut up Seharia!" Another voice came from behind him with a laugh as Jaune turned and saw another green-haired boy with short hair and Yellow eyes. Seharia rolled her eyes before she spoke. "C'mon you're such a little bitch! Just have some fun Kian!" She said with a laugh as Kian shook his head with a smile before turning hardened eyes towards Jaune. "So… You're our new 'King'?" Kian said as hate laced his voice.
Jaune was taken aback by his attitude as he stared at him. "Yeah…? That's a problem?" He asked as Kian grit his teeth. "Of fucking course it is! A worthless creature like you shouldn't have a ticket to the top! when the rest of us are working hard!" He cried.
Jaune gasped as the other boy walked up. "Yeah. so to remedy that, we are going to beat you within every inch of your life and show everyone how worthless you are!' He said manically as Jaune's eyes widened. He turned to the girl expecting something just as slick but she just smiled and. "I'm pretty much with Kian and Simone. I have nothing to add." She said with a sickly sweet smile.
Jaune's fist clenched. 'Surrounded by three idiots that hate me for no reason other than jealousy and want to see me fall.' he thought as Ruby also came to mind. People never did that to her… Elite levels had it so easy. They never got disrespected nor did they have to prove themselves.
"Well you see, I have a match coming up and I'd like to get to it in one piece so can we wait till after that?" Jaune asked, hoping to ditch them then never see them again.
"Oh but of course!" Kian said as Jaune's eyes widened. "Reall-" Jaune was cut off as Kian laughed. "Not!" He cried before rushing forwards, his yellow eyes glowing.
Jaune's own blue eyes glowed as he thought of one thing. 'Shield' he thought as his shield appeared in front of him and Kian made contact with it and looked surprised as it shattered and he moved forwards.
'Brass knuckles' Jaune summoned his knuckles before slamming into Kian's face, causing blood to gush from his nose due to the impact. "Sh-shit!" Kain cried as he nursed his nose. Jaune smirked before a small laser beam struck his arm. He grabbed it as he turned and saw Seharia with her finger outstretched and another small orange beam being readied.
Jaune dodged to the side of her next blast but Simone predicted that and punched him once more. This time though the punch hit him twice it felt as Jaune slid back. Kian got up and rushed Jaune's back as he outstretched his palm and grabbed Jaune's arm.
It burned. Jaune's arm was being burned. "Fuck!" He cried as he reached back for Kian but was then slammed into by Simone and that second ghost punch ability sent him to the ground as he coughed up blood.
"THIS is our King?!" Seharia said laughing as Jaune looked up at them with hate in his eyes. "Fuck all of you!" He said as they all took on angry expressions as Kian walked forwards. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" He cried before heating up his palms and preparing to burn Jaune before Jaune's eyes glowed and he outstretched his hand.
'Sword!' Jaune called in his mind as he summoned the sword he saw at his house and slashed upwards and cut through Kian's arm as the boy cried out. "Fuck!" He cried with tears in his eyes before Jaune stood up and rushed at him. 'Brass knuckles' Jaune punched him directly in the face and Kian hit the ground.
"You bastard!" Seharia cried before she prepared a beam but Jaune punched her arm to the side and her beam hit the other lockers before Jaune punched her in her eye and the girl hit the ground.
Jaune then turned his eyes towards Simon who glared before punching out. Jaune dodged before uppercutting the boy causing blood to come from his mouth and left his neck open as Jaune punched him directly in his neck and Simone choked as he coughed and held his neck before Jaune grabbed him by his shirt. "Why…?" Jaune asked as Simone glared at him. "Fuck… you!" Simone said as Jaune glared. "It's such bullshit! What did I ever do to you?! What is the point?!" Jaune was shouting now as Simone continued to glare before clenching a fist. Something Jaune noticed.
"YOU DON'T EVEN CARE!" He cried as he slammed his fist now outfitted with a gauntlet into Simon's face.
'You late bloomers are all the same… just like that psycho bitch…' Simone thought as he passed out. "WHY?!" Jaune cried as he fell to his knees. "God being a King sucks…" He said as he heard someone behind him and turned to see Kian back up and looking to attack him from behind. But before he could make it electricity went through Kian's body and he fell to the ground.
Jaune looked up to see… "Ryan?" Jaune said as the boy held out two fingers with red electricity flickering off of them. 'If you don't want the King title then you shouldn't have beaten me." Ryan said as Jaune's eyes widened.
"Now come on. The match with Railand is in 13 minutes." Ryan said motioning for Jaune to follow who reluctantly did.
As they walked no words were exchanged but since Jaune was on edge the entire time when he noticed they were not heading towards the arena he spoke up. "Hey where are you taking me?' Ryan turned and said. "The infirmary. You took some damage in that last fight, you're gonna need a tonic." Ryan kept walking as Jaune kept up and they walked in.
"That's a familiar face…" The woman in a white lab coat said as she noticed Jaune who looked sheepish. "He's got an ability now so you're normal Tonics won't work. He might need a 2.0+ tonic." Ryan said as Jaune looked at him in shock. Meanwhile, the doc looked at Jaune in shock before shaking her head and getting to work.
Jaune drank the tonic down but wasn't feeling much as fast as he usually did. Weird. Jaune turned towards Ryan and asked the 1 Million question. "Hey… why did you help me?" Jaune asked as Ryan turned away from him. "Railand would get pissed if he beat you when you weren't at 100% so I helped out. Don't think anything of it." the Raven head said before walking out. "Your match is in 8 so be there before Railand throws a bitch fit," Ryan said and kept on his way.
After 5 more minutes, Jaune started to feel better and got up before heading to the arena where Railand stood with his hair in a mid back ponytail as he turned towards Jaune. Jaune looked around and noticed that Ryan was nowhere to be seen.
"Watcha looking for Princess?!" Railand yelled as Jaune jumped before rushing and jumping on the Arena. "Alright, Arc! It's time to go!" Railand said before he summoned a green energy whip.
Railand rushed forwards and slammed his whip as Jaune who barely dodged before Railand swung it around and hit Jaune's stomach and sent him into a wall.
He coughed up blood before seeing Railand sending his whip into the air again and it came crashing down near Jaune's fight as he jumped back.
"This all you got?!" Railand taunted before slamming his whip as Jaune more and the blond boy continued to dodge. "Dammit! If I don't fight back I'm gonna get my ass beat!" Jaune thought as Railand continued his relentless attack.
'Shield'
Jaune summoned his shield that made contact with Railand's whip as the black-haired boy's eyes narrowed. "So the bastard thinks running will save him!?" Railand thought before he summoned a second whip.
Jaune's eyes widened as Railand's whip came crashing down on top of him. He summoned a shield and blocked the strike. Railand's second whip then swung and hit his side. Jaune flew back and hit the ground as he looked up at Railand.
"With no range, he feels almost unbeatable… unless I can get creative!" Jaune thought as Railand's whip once again came at him and Jaune dodged before summoning a sword and slashing the whip.
"What!?" Railand called with a shocked look on his face as Jaune rushed forwards and this time threw it against the ground and slid on at as Railand looked shocked as Jaune took advantage and summoned a gauntlet.
Railand finally woke up but it was too late.
"A little present from your friend Dylan!" Jaune cried before slamming his fist into Railand's stomach. Railand coughed up blood as he slid back and clutched his stomach. Jaune rushed forward full of confidence as he prepared to knock Railand's lights out.
Jaune slammed his fist forwards only for pain to shoot through his stomach. He coughed up blood as he flew away and hit the ground. He looked up to see Railand's hand glowing.
"What the hell?! His ability isn't just energy whips?!" Jaune thought as he wiped the blood of his mouth and Railand glared whilst wiping off his own.
"Probably confused huh?" Railand said as Jaune stood up. "My ability is energy whips but I can also change its shape and distance." He continued as Jaune's eyes widened.
"So making it basically a whip that goes around your hand and works as punch booster?" Jaune asked as Railand nodded. "Might not be able to create infinite weapons like you but I still have versatility," Railand said as Jaune stared at him.
"Enough of the bullshit," Railand said suddenly before extending into a whip once more. This time a shorter one and shot it at Jaune who summoned a shield to block it. But Railand predicted that and elongated his whip and wrapped it around Jaune's leg before pulling.
Jaune tripped and landed on his back. Railand then brought the whip down once more. Jaune rolled out of the way in time but not in time to avoid getting smacked.
Jaune was sent sprawling as he coughed. He looked up at Railand who stood expectantly. "Damn… Ryan was lying when he said he had honor. The guy waits for me to get up." Jaune thought as he stood. "Need a new strategy… maybe…" Jaune thought before summoning a shield and running forwards.
Railand tensed at this. "What's he doing now? There's no way he's rushing in without a strategy… let's test him." Railand thought before firing out a whip and threw it towards Jaune who didn't stop running.
Railand's eyes narrowed and his whip shifted and shot out around Jaune's back before smacking it.
Jaune flew forward as Railand rolled his eyes. "Idiot. I was starting to enjoy this fight too." Railand said under his breath but before he could react Jaune tossed his shield at him and Railand's whip was too far to block it.
It hit Railand's face and Railand slid back as Jaune's feet hit the ground using the momentum from Railand's strike to rush forwards and slam his fist equipped with his brass knuckles into Railand's face.
Blood leaked from Railand's nose as he covered it and glared at Jaune who smirked. "That wasn't even half of the plan." He thought as he got into stance.
Railand then summoned a long whip before throwing it out as Jaune smirked before holding out his hand.
'Whip'
He summoned a whip that shot out and wrapped around Railand's. "What?!" Railand called as Jaune then summoned a shield under Railand's feet that caused the boy to lose his balance and Jaune took the opportunity to yank on the whip and drag Railand forwards.
As Railand slipped on the shield Jaune used all his strength to throw Railand into a wall.
The boy slumped down with blood dripping from his head. Jaune walked up to him and lent out a hand that wasn't holding the whip as the shield sat discarded on the ground.
Railand looked up at him and shook his head. "I would never let a battle like this…" he started as he stood. "...End so early!" Railand cried, going to punch Jaune before a fist met his face first. Jaune summoned a third weapon. His trusty brass knuckles would once again finish a fight… or so he thought as Jaune saw Railand trying to keep going.
"Why…?" He asked aloud looking at Railand. "Why don't any of you stop?" He asked once more.
It ended when Jaune kicked Railand across the face. He looked at the unconscious boy before walking off the arena and heading back to his dorm.
This long ass day needed a shit-ton of rest.
Well, that's done. Happy new year everyone. And Happy(late) anniversary to this story. 8 chapters in a year is my record and I'm proud of that. I have a planner now and this story should be around 28 chapters. Thank you for reading R/R and follow/Fav to keep up. Now onto the reviews.
Reviewer: Armory Creation, you say? I see an Unlimited (Blade Works) potential there. Does Jaune needs to look at a weapon first or can he project anything in his imagination? If it's the latter then I have to say that is one OP Semblance.
Crash: Haha I did go for a slight Fate reference for this. Jaune needs to see the weapon to copy it to make it less OP. that's why he can't copy video game weapons.
Norbekk1: Are you planning to make some pairs if so what (I'd love to see dragonslayer is my favorite couple) hope it won't be Arkos (too much of it)
I'm looking forward to the next chapter
Crash: Pairings/shipping isn't really my thing sorry.
