as Jaune goes back to his Hometown he notices that he got taller and a bit thicker as he looks at himself in a mirror in a clothing store in his hometown.

"Hey kid you can't be in here like this," a woman says to Jaune.

"I'm sorry he is with me, can we use your shower?" German says smiling at the woman.

the woman looks to Jaune and the to Gehrman "alright go to the back, and I hope you are here to buy clothes as well." the woman says.

"yes, we are," German says, and starts looking for Jaune's clothes, and under his breath, he says "our order has a specific set of clothes, but maybe in a few years I'll choose for him, maybe before he enlists into beacon," he grabs a white shirt, working pants, and a chest plate for the moment and passes them to Jaune still in the bathroom.

Jaune comes out looking like a different person, " do you want to get a haircut?" Gehrman said, Jaune look at himself in the mirror, his hair almost able to cover Jaune's face completely.

"Yeah, maybe something short," Jaune said.

after the haircut and the clothes problem, they got to Jaune's house, nothing change Jaune and his sisters were unable to see each other, Jaune didn't stay too much time and Jaune left and as he looks back Jaune saw his dad and his mom wave him goodbye again, but his sisters were outside with them but just looking down.

Jaune didn't pay attention to this he didn't care anymore.

back in the middle of the nightmare forest...

"Alright, let's start." Gehrman says walking to one of the trees, "we all hunters are able to do this, and this circle is the proof, we usually chop one tree but this time you need to chop 5 trees." German says taping the tree.

"okay that sounds easy... where is the axe?" Jaune says getting close to the tree.

"you have two right now... punch it," Gehrman says. remembering that they all did it with a stick.

"but..." Jaune said looking at Gehrman leave.

"Yeah, since you are doing more work than all of us, I'm going to give you a hint, " he goes back to the tree. "when you want to punch a tree, you don't hit it in the center you hit it sideways, It still going to hurt, but you are going to start chipping the skin of the tree, these trees are fill with water so the inside is a bit softer than the outside, but the first skin is super strong annnnn... that's it, good luck."

Jaune looks at the tree and takes a random stance. "what is that?" German says walking back to Jaune. "think Jaune, use your knowledge, look into the books that you read." Gehrman said.

Jaune goes back to standing normally, "there was this stance from the Faunus, they use it as a military pose, it says in the book that the punch cut... like... a knife." Jaune said as his eyes widened.

"yes! you got it, now continue." German says looking at Jaune.

Jaune extended his left arm forward, his hand extended with all his fingers together, his right elbow in the side of his chest and his right hand the same way as the left hand, his legs making a 90-degree angle.

"Okay, that is a Good stance, now hit that tree!" Gehrman says.

Jaune inhales and goes to cut the tree from the side. there was a crack. "AHHH! MY FINGER!" Jaunes' pinky finger was dislocated it was pointing to his arm instead of pointing forward. "well that was a bunch of bullshit!"

"shut up I'm going to put it back the right way," Gehrman said.

"what was I expecting a knif-AHH!" Jaune said as Gherman place Jaunes finger back and use a bandage and little sticks to keep the finger in place.

"how about starting tomorrow and just punching it?" Gehrman said.

"yeap sounds better than what I was doing," Jaune said. "are you sure you guys did it this way?" Jaune ask looking at Gehrman.

"yeah, it is the hardest thing you will ever do," Gehrman said, not saying anything about the stick. "I guess you could rest for today," German said as he got two stakes from his backpack.

"Now tell me what is wrong with you and your sisters," Gehrman says as he is preparing the fire to cook the stakes.

Jaune smiled, but a sad smile, "they said that I change, that I am not their brother anymore. I think they just wanted a dog that waves his tail when he sees them." Jaune said grabbing and throwing a rock into the woods.

"What makes you think that?" Gehrman asks

"When I was at home they were able to see me day after day, every time they stroked my hair, kissed my forehead, and did whatever they wanted with me, like a stupid dog," Jaune said looking at Gehrman.

"and you dislike it?" Sherman ask.

"I didn't care at that moment," Jaune said looking at the woods again.

"and when they saw you taller and thicker they notice that you change and they didn't like that?" Gehrman said that in the form of a question.

"you got it," Jaune said. "at least my parents are happy for me."

"really? what did your mom say?" Gehrman said.

Jaune smiled again but this time he was happy. "she never changes, she hug me so tight that my dad had to pull her away from me. and said 'my baby is back,' and started crying, she didn't see me for what was I becoming, she saw me as her son that went on a trip far away." Jaune said chuckling.

"that is good... forget about your sisters, they will all take separate paths in their life, you made your move and now you just have to keep moving in that path, no matter who becomes your enemy," Gehrman said slightly punching Jaune's chest.

"Thanks, I hope I don't become you, enemy." Jaune smiled at Gehrman.

Note: I forgot to put this but there will be a 2-year time skip in the next chapter, then an important event, and then Jaune goes to combat school, where he finds where Neo is, and no she is not with the guy with the hat, sorry I'm really bad with names. okay thank you for reading this fanfic, love you all, bye, bye.
