AN: Hello and welcome to the sixth chapter of: The Assassin Known as Paladin! Since it's been awhile since I've uploaded a chapter, I'll give you a small recap as of what happened in the last five chapters.

Jaune, the son of an Italian assassin and a European woman, finally kills the man that had killed his entire family. With nowhere else to go, he somehow ends up in Remnant, a world that seemed impossible to him. And, given a new chance to make something good with his skills, Jaune Arc, the Paladin, becomes a Huntsman. With that out of the way, in this chapter it's pretty much Jaunedice Pt. 1 and Pt. 2, except Jaune is actually competent and has a spine to stand up against Cardin. Since Jaune didn't have fake transcripts, Cardin doesn't have much to blackmail Jaune with.

Also, I have planned to make a new story, something of a reboot of 'Arc of Warfare'. I have decided to add some elements from the older remakes, change the title, give Jaune and his team new weapons, and probably give some of the villains a bit of more background. I might even make a reaction story as well, but with a twist to it.

And, since I've told you guys that Jaune is getting a harem, some of you guys didn't want that to happen. But, Jaune is the only Arc left, and he needs to repopulate, so having multiple wives has to be an option. Honestly, I don't like that many stories where Jaune has a harem, but if the author was given a completely, reasonable, explanation as to why he needs a harem, then I am okay with a harem story.

Now that I have finished everything, time to get this thing started.

HERE WE GO!

In Goodwitch's Class -

It has been a few days since Jaune had revealed his secret to his team, and oddly enough, nothing drastic had changed among them. In fact, all it did was probably strengthen their bond with one another. At first, Nora wanted to tell Team RWBY his secret, but Jaune told her, and to the rest of his team, that no one must know his secret until the time was right. So far, Team JNPR, RWBY, and the other First-Year Team, CRDL (Cardinal), were all sitting inside the amphitheater, wondering who'll fight today.

When their professor had arrived, she immediately told them,

"Alright class, today we'll be having Mr. Arc against Mr. Winchester."

With both their names being called out, the two looked at each other, Jaune sighing reluctantly at his opponent. Ever since the two had met, Cardin Winchester had tried to bully Jaune, but to no prevail. But now that the two were to fight off, Cardin smirked as he had the chance to beat up the last Arc. When Goodwitch told them to head to their lockers, Cardin bumped his shoulder into Jaune's, whispering to him,

"I'm gonna enjoy this, Arc."

"I...honestly don't care, Cardin."

As Jaune walked out of the locker-room, dressed in his usual attire, he heard Cardin taunting him. As he hefted his mace over his shoulder, Cardin sneered,

"A suit? Are you really gonna fight me in a suit?"

The blonde-assassin looked down on his suit, and shrugged as he found nothing wrong with it. To most, they would only see his attire as a regular suit, but to Jaune, it was practically something else. Back on Earth, he had some connections that could weave body-armor into his clothing. So he could withstand most caliber-rounds, but when it comes to something bigger, or a knife, then he would have to be extra careful as he fought, in this case, he had to deal with a giant mace.

Jaune had pulled out only his dagger, shocking the audience, while Cardin and his team laughed at what they were seeing. Let them laugh, Jaune had decided on two things: to practice more with his dagger, and that the dagger would suffice. Then he heard Cardin say,

"What? Too weak to use a real weapon?"

"No. I just don't have to compensate for anything if you catch my drift."

As the words left his mouth, Cardin only glared at him as some of the audience laughed at Jaune's remark. Some of the girls, Yang and Pyrrha in particular, blushed at what Jaune was saying about himself. Goodwitch had the audience silent, and then she shouted,

"Begin!"

Cardin charged at Jaune, swinging his mace at the blonde, only for said-blonde to roll to the left, kicking him in the stomach. Knowing that the mace wasn't effective up-close, Jaune got into Cardin's personal-space, punching him in the ribs twice. As Cardin stepped back, Jaune advanced, kneeing him in the stomach and brought his dagger down onto his back. But, as he did, Cardin managed to kick Jaune back, then swung his mace at his stomach, making Jaune fly a few feet away from him.

As Jaune stood up, he only groaned as he saw his suit being a bit torn from the fight.

Thinking that he finally got the upper-hand, Cardin charged at Jaune, only to be punched in the throat. Jaune got in close again, slashing at Cardin's stomach twice before getting behind him, grabbed him by the waist, and performed a German-Suplex on him. The blonde grabbed Cardin by his chest-plate, hoisting him up to his feet, punching him in the stomach again, performed two right-hooks and a left-hook in his face, and then finished off Cardin.

He jumped up into the air, and performed a spinning-kick across Cardin's face, and as he landed, he watched as Cardin's body dropped to the ground. Jaune backed away a few feet as Cardin slowly got up again, and with the look of a mad animal, he raised his mace over his head, but was stopped by Goodwitch.

"That's enough. As you can see, Mr. Winchester's Aura is in the red. If you kept your ego in check then maybe you would've had at least a decent chance at winning."

"Whatever..."

"Mr. Arc, impressive fight, but try not to go head-on against someone that has a weapon with more reach than yours."

"Understood."

And with that, Jaune had left for the locker-room, ignoring the glare he was getting from Cardin.

In the Mess Hall -

Teams RWBY and JNPR were all sitting together, most of them were doing their own thing while Nora was telling her friends about this dream she had. As she spoke, Ren was beside her, trying to explain to their friends what Nora was telling them.

"So! There we were in the middle of night..."

"It was day."

"...we were surrounded by Ursai..."

"They were Beowolves."

"Dozens of them!"

"Two of them."

"But they were no match... And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of Lien selling Ursai skin rugs!"

"She's been having this dream for nearly a month now."

Pyrrha looked to her partner, who was sketching some things in a sketchbook. From the looks of it, most of the designs were either for armor or for new weapons. She poked Jaune's shoulder, asking him,

"Jaune, what are you sketching?"

"Oh, this? It's just some armor designs and possible ideas for a new weapon - "

As soon as the word 'weapon' was spoken, Ruby's attention turned to the blonde, who silver eye's were filled with excitement as she began to look at the designs in the sketchbook. After seeing that most of the designs had his HK416 as the base of his new weapon. She then noticed that besides his rifle, he also had ideas that ranged from a completely different revolver with a telescopic barrel, to a rapier that seemed to be much more bulkier than Weiss'.

She squealed,

"Jaune! These are all amazing! How - ? When - ? Can I help?"

Jaune simply laughed at how excited his first friend was, and began to pat her on top of her head, making her blush lightly. He told her,

"You can help...as soon as I know just what I am making."

"What do you mean? The gun-sword idea is interesting...it's just been over-used recently."

"True, but I'm favored to use that than the other ones I made. The revolver being a close second."

"What about the - ?"

Whatever Ruby was about to say, it was drowned out by the sounds of a girl whimpering in pain and four boys laughing at said pain. Jaune looked around, and growled at the sight of CRDL bullying a Faunus girl, with Cardin pulling on her rabbit-ears while his team laughed at her.

"Ow! That hurts!"

"See, I told you they were real!"

"What a freak!"

Jaune wasn't the only person that was angry at the sight of the bullying. Out of the eight friends, it was oddly enough Blake that seemed to be the most angry. Second to her was Pyrrha, who stated,

"I can't stand people like him."

"Neither do I."

Even though this was his first time seeing an actual Faunus, he did not have any problem with them, well except for the White Fang. But, it wasn't the fact that CRDL was bullying a Faunus that made Jaune mad, it was the fact that said-Faunus was a woman. Jaune was raised to be a gentleman, and seeing men harming women was one of the many things he did not like. As he noticed that no one was going to stop them from continuing, Jaune stood up and walked towards them.

He walked up to Cardin and grabbed his wrist, making the guy let go of the girl's ear. He then let go of his wrist, and immediately checked on the girl, reassuring her,

"Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine. Thank you...?"

"Call me Jaune. And you Miss...?"

"Scarlatina. Velvet Scarlatina."

"Well - "

"Excuse me, Arc, but can you tell me just what do you think you're doing?"

Jaune looked at Cardin, who seemed annoyed as his team stood behind him. He simply told them,

"I am making sure that this girl isn't hurt. And you call yourselves men..."

"Girl? I'm not sure if you're an animal lover, but that 'thing' is a filthy animal - "

"The filthy animal I see here is you right now. Velvet, wait for me at my table with my friends, okay? This won't take long."

Velvet simply nodded and hurried towards the table away from what would soon be a fight. Jaune made sure that his fedora was secured firmly on his head, as Cardin rose his fists, ready to fight. Jaune made the first move, swinging his right fist at Cardin, who easily caught it with his palm. He looked at the fist and then at Jaune, sneering,

"Was that it?"

"Huh. And here I was thinking that even my fist would be too much for you to handle."

"What was that?"

"I mean, I'm not sure you guys knew this, but you are probably the weakest team of Huntsmen I have ever known. Heck, back at our spar, I thought that using my dagger was going overboard for a couple of pathetic, lame, sad excuses of Huntsmen ever."

It was now Jaune's turn to sneer, seeing at how angry CRDL was at that point. Then, Cardin threw his fist at Jaune, only for the blonde to use flip him over his shoulder, using Cardin's momentum to help him do so. The rest of his team went in to help their leader, but that didn't stop Jaune from giving them the ass-kicking of a lifetime. Jaune turned Cardin to face his team, the exact time that they all decided to throw a punch at the blonde, only to punch their leader instead.

Jaune shoved Cardin towards them, kicking him in the back as he collided with his teammates. He elbowed one with a stupid Mohawk in the chest, and then punched another with blue hair across the face. As the fourth member came from behind, Jaune turned around, kicking him in the stomach. He then kneed him in the stomach before slamming both fists down on his back, making the guy hit the ground hard. Jaune was then tackled by the other two members of CRDL, with both of them holding his arms behind his back, while Cardin prepared to punch him.

As he threw a right-hook at him, Jaune ducked under it, the punch hitting the guy holding his right arm. As his right arm was free, Jaune used it grab the second punch aimed at his face, and then kicked the second person that grabbed his arm, making both his arms free at last.

He ducked beneath another punch, Cardin knocking out the last member of his team. The blonde looked at three boys, and simply said,

"Wow. A leader that took out half his team. Nice going there, Cardin."

"Okay, that's it! I'm gonna - "

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing as Glynda Goodwitch marched towards them, an angry expression was visible on her face. Jaune realized that he was in trouble once again, so he got on his knees again, hands behind his head and told Goodwitch,

"This is exactly what it looks like."

"Just come with me, Mr. Arc."

With an exasperated sigh, he stood up, only for his friends and Velvet to come up behind Goodwitch, telling her,

"But Jaune was only trying to help!"

"I-it was true! They were bullying - !"

"If only I stood up for myself..."

Even though their attempts were futile, Jaune smiled, touched that there was some people that would stick up for him, unlike his time as the 'Paladin'. Technically, most of his kills were unheard of until a few days later, when the stench of a decaying corpse got worse. But, like most of his kills, they never led back to him. He told them,

"It's okay, I already made my bed, so now I gotta lie in it. I'll see you guys later."

"But Jaune..."

"It's okay. Trust me."

And with that, Jaune left with the Deputy-Headmistress, heading for the Headmaster's office.

The Headmaster's Office -

As soon as the blonde entered Ozpin's office, he whistled at how the interior looked. Even though he visited Italy and France countless times, seeing the beautiful sites, he had to admit that the inside of his office was probably the most creative thing he has ever seen. His office was the inner-workings of a grandfather-clock or something, because Jaune was seeing gears shifting behind glass, and in the center of it all was Ozpin, sitting behind his desk.

Jaune walked towards him, stating,

"I have to admit, this is a pretty interesting office."

"Thank you. Now, why is it that you're here?"

Jaune's smile was no longer on his face, and in its place was a cold glare, which did not faze the Headmaster. He told him,

"I'm here because I was doing what you or your professors can't do."

"The bullying situation with Ms. Scarlatina."

"You let this kind of thing happen in your school. Why is that?"

True, that this was a combat-school, that literally supports fighting between students, but this was something else. The fact that this school, which was to create people that would protect others, would allow racism among their students, was just appalling. Ozpin only told him,

"My faculty could've handled it. It's just - "

"What? Velvet told her that the bullying was nothing? Or are the teachers - "

"Mr. Arc, I can assure you, my staff, nor myself, condones this kind of behavior."

"Then why?"

"Because I was waiting for someone to actually beat the crap out of them."

Okay, that was something that Jaune did NOT expect to come out of Ozpin's mouth. He expected something like 'I was waiting for Velvet to defend herself.' or 'I want to strengthen the bond between Velvet and her team.', but this was new. He was confused when he heard that Ozpin wanted to see someone beat the crap out of some bullies. Knowing that he needed a reason, Ozpin stood up, and began to walk around his office, telling the assassin,

"Tell me something: Is stopping bullies a bad deed?"

"Well...no, not really."

"Then why should someone, who was trying to do the right thing, be punished for doing so?"

The gears in his head began to turn, Jaune suddenly laughing as he realized what he was saying. He actually allowed students to settle problems with physical violence, it was something he did not expect for the Headmaster to say. After hearing his laughter, Ozpin told him,

"I would've preferred that the students would use a bit of diplomacy when dealing with these kinds of issues, but then again, I am running a school full of hormonal teenagers that are trained to fight monsters."

"So you just decided, 'Fuck it. Let them beat the crap out of each other to settle their differences!'."

"Crude. But yes, that's how I decided on it."

Afterwards, while 'talking' about Jaune's 'punishment' for fighting Team CRDL, Ozpin pulled out a folder with Jaune's name, handing it to him. He opened it and noticed that it had some forged documents, not only for his application for Beacon, it was for everything about him. Birth certificate, passport, practically everything he needed to get around Remnant, that and the background information about him was a mix of both truth and lies.

Apparently, Jaune Arc, is the last son of the Arc family, who have died tragically from a Grimm attack on their home village. His grandfather had raised him for most of his life, that was until his grandfather had died of old age. With only his weapons, car, and the clothes on his back, Jaune has traveled across Remnant, getting recommendations from Huntsmen and Huntresses to apply to Beacon Academy.

He muttered,

"Interesting..."

"I tried to keep your information as close to real as possible."

"Well, thank you. By the way, I already my team about being an assassin. They took it well actually."

"That just shows you that they are good friends."

"But then there's..."

"Team RWBY."

Jaune couldn't help but wince when he knew that Team RWBY were the only people that didn't knew of his family history. True, that he hoped that they would be as understanding as his own team, but this was the real world, so things wouldn't be that easy for him. After all:

Ruby was his first friend, so the truth would crush her.

Weiss didn't like him, and she would definitely put him behind bars.

Blake was mysterious, but she wouldn't hesitate to have him arrested as well.

Yang would destroy him, not only for lying to her, but for betraying Ruby's trust.

Ozpin sighed,

"Jaune, I believe that Miss Rose and her friends aren't as shallow as you think they are."

"But if I go down, then I would involuntarily take my team down as well. I can't let that happen."

AN: And that was the sixth chapter of the story, the seventh chapter would show how this version of Jaune would take on the Ursa Major and how to deal with Cardin's prank. So leave your thoughts in the reviews.

Also, yes, I received some reviews, saying that Ruby could help Jaune make new weapons, or weapon, so here are the choices:

1) A revolver that has a telescopic barrel.

2) A gun/sword with his HK416 as the base.

3) A rapier, the blade is actually a drill.

If you have any more ideas, leave them in the reviews, and remember: Jaune is an assassin, so he needs weapons that might make sense. Anyways, apart from the weapons, I have also wondered if I should allow Velvet to be in the harem, or not to be in it.

With those two out of the way: I have to say one more thing, regarding about Arc of Warfare.

I plan on making a another remake, but I'm changing the title, change how the story goes, and I plan on changing the names 'Jäger' and 'Tiere' as well. I don't know if you guys liked those names, but I plan on changing what they're called, for the sake of how different the plot will be.

See ya later!
