Currently it was a normal day at Beacon Academy. The sun was shining, the students were having a good time with one another as the professors taught. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Well everyone except Jaune Arc.
Currently the first year student was walking through the hallways seemingly in a daze as he learned a shocking truth that he learned less than an hour ago.
[Flashback]
Jaune was in Professor Glynda Goodwitch's combat class, having a sparring session again the leader of tam CRDL, Cardin Winchester.
Now normally this would he a pretty one sided fight, but Jaune has been training hard the last several weeks with the help of his partner and teammate, Pyrrha Niko's.
And that training was paying off as Jaune was now swinging his sword properly. There was less errors in his swings and he was learning to counter with his shield a lot better than when he originally came to Beacon.
Jaune blocked one of Cardin's wings, before putting his left foot in and striking the leader of team CRDL in the face with said shield before swinging Crocea Mors in a downward swing. Cardin managed to block that strike, but Jaune counting on that as he struck Cardin in the sternum with his shield before going in for a stabbing motion and striking Cardin in between the joints of his armor.
Cardin let out a grunting sound as he felt that stabbed before he struck Jaune across the chest with his mace. Jaune grunted with pain before Cardin took another swing, but this time the young Arc was ready for it as he proceeded to raise his shield to protect his body from the dog wearing swing before swinging from the right to strike Cardin against the neck.
Winchester was sent back as Jaune put all of his body weight behind his shield and pushed him back, and as Cardin was getting up, Jaune waited for him to get up as he was honorable.
Cardin then proceeded to charge towards Jaune like a mad Bull before Jaune through his shield at his face before charging in, grabbing his shield again. and doing a full rotation strike against Cardin, sending the leader of team CRDL back into a wall with such force that a bit of it shattered!
"Alright Mr Arc, Mr Winchester, that is quite enough."said Professor Goodwitch as she got in between both fighters." Cardin Winchester's Aura is in the red, meaning that this match goes to the leader of team JNPR, Jaune Arc.
"Yeah, go Jaune!"said Ruby as she was so happy her male best friend won.
"Yeah!"said Blake, who was unusually chippered if it wasn't for the fact she wasn't Cardin's biggest fan.
She hated Cardin Winchester as he was prejudicial against the Faunus, of which she was secretly.
"Hmmm..."said Weiss with suspicion.
"Yeah, you kicked his butt vomit boy."said Yang with a raised fist.
"Mr Arc. It it's clear to me that you have improved in the last month you have been here as your swings are less careless and you're holding your shield a lot better. That said I noticed a lot of missed opportunities here and there that could have easily when you imagine a lot sooner if you weren't so careless. I suggest you do better in the near future as careless mistakes like that against the Grimm could very well cost you your life."said Professor Goodwitch, as despite appearances in coming off as hard, she truly did care about her students and was truly upset when she heard of former students never coming back from their missions ever again.
"As for you Mr Winchester. I see that bad habit of you have a being over reliant on your strength has not changed one bit. Strength is only one of the many factors that come in battle as it's clear that your speed, balance, and stamina are lacking as a few swings shows that you suffer signs of exhaustion. I suggest you fix that in the future as getting exhausted too early in a battle could very well cost you your life. I suggest you remember that."said Professor Goodwitch, as last thing she wanted was one of her students getting eaten on a mission just because they were too careless.
"I understand, Professor Goodwitch."said Cardin as he got up from the floor.
"Now I want both of you to hit the showers and change into your normal clothes as it's almost lunch time and a well-balanced meal throughout the day keeps the Grimm away."said Professor Goodwitch, causing a few chuckles from her students before a quick glare from her shut them up.
"Yeah, you kicked butt fearless leader."said Nora, who was kind of disappointed that Jaune didn't break Cardin's leg.
"You showed everyone the power of team JNPR."said Ren as he gave his two cents.
"Thanks. Well you guys go ahead without me I'm going to go change."said Jaune, as he headed into the locker room and put his stuff away before taking a quick shower.
As soon as he was done did he hear familiar voices in near the hallway of the boys locker room so he decided to check it out. There he saw Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha talking with one another. He was about to walk over and ask them what they were talking about before he overheard their conversation.
"So, Pyrrha...did you help Jaune win that fight against Cardin?"asked Weiss, shocking Jaune as he wondered what she meant by that.
"No I didn't."said Pyrrha, wondering what Weiss was implying.
"Yeah, what do you mean by that, Weiss?"asked Ruby, wondering what her BFF was talking about.
"I mean I find it hard to believe that the weakest first-year student of Beacon Academy could improve so much and just under a month."said Weiss, as Jaune could feel the metaphorical knife pierce his heart as even for her that was cold!
"Weiss..."said Ruby, as that was the reason why Weiss was called the Ice Queen in the first place!
"I'm just saying I find it suspicious."said Weiss in her own defense.
"I can assure you Jaune managed to defeat Cardin all on his own."said Pyrrha, as she never did like Weiss's attitude towards Jaune.
"And are you saying you didn't just use polarity to move his shield ever so slightly."said Weiss, as Ruby and Pyrrha was shocked to see what the heiress was implying.
"Weiss!"said Ruby as she was puffing her cheeks.
"Ruby, it wouldn't be the first time she did that. After all she did do the same thing at Forever Falls when Jaune and Cardin we're being attacked by that giant Ursa."said Weiss, as Jaune couldn't believe what he was hearing.
'WHAT?! But I killed that giant Ursa with my own two hands! Are you saying that Pyrrha help me out and that's the reason I managed to take down that giant Grimm!' thought Jaune with shock, as killing that Ursa was the confidence boost that he needed to finally stand up to Cardin and start taking his training with Pyrrha seriously!
Was Weiss just admitting that all of that was a lie! That he acted all hot in front of Cardin Winchester, his former bully out of a sheer grit that he never had in the first place!
"This is just one of the many reasons I never wanted to be your partner in the first place."said Pyrrha as she walked away in a huff.
"Weiss, I can't believe you seriously ask why people call you the Ice Queen when you act like this."said Ruby as she also walked away.
"What?! I was just telling the truth, so why am I being treated like the bad guy?!"asked Weiss as she ran after them.
Not a single one of them noticed that Jaune head over heard everything and he looked like he was close to crying as he knew Weiss didn't like him, but did she really have to go that far?!
Jaune couldn't even look at his sword or shield at the moment as he just threw them in his locker and ran off from the boys locker room as fast and as far as he could as he needed to be alone for a while!
[Flashback End]
'I can't believe my biggest accomplishment was nothing more than a huge lie! Why didn't Pyrrha just tell me the truth and say that she used her semblance polarity to help me! I mean I wouldn't have liked it but it certainly wouldn't have hurt as much as it hurts now to learn the truth!' thought Jaune, feeling like a massive betrayal and trust has been established between his teammates and his crush.
Did the others know about this?!
Did he act all hot in front of his former bully for nothing?!
Was Cardin going to find out about this?!
These were just some of the many questions rolling around in Jaune's head as he began to wonder if he made the right choice by sticking to Beacon in the first place when he shouldn't have been there in the first place!
He didn't get to graduate from a top Huntsman Trainee Academy like Sanctum.
He was just a overprotected kid who was tired of his mundane life and wanted a bit of adventure and to play the hero he always wanted to be ever since he was a little boy! Now that he learned that his biggest accomplishment was all a lie, he began to wonder if his own self-worth had any value.
He begin to wonder if all of that training he put into the last couple of weeks was all for nothing! Was his victory over Cardin today nothing more then a big fat fluke! Was he ever going to beat his former bully the next time they fought!
These questions one stop rattling Jaune's inner psyche as he's already low self-esteem started to feel even lower as he didn't realize that he was leaving the grounds of being an academy and started wandering into the Emerald Forest in a daze!
As Jaune was wondering into the Emerald Forest, he failed to notice that some kind of creature would seem to be following him with a look of interest on its face.
The creature was about a foot in height and had mammal like features. It had pink fur, along with small hands and kangaroo shaped feet. It had a tail that was longer than its body along with two big blue eyes.
"Mew."said the creature as it began to follow Jaune into the Emerald Forest.
[After learning that his biggest accomplishment was all a lie, Jaune begins to question his own self worth as he wonders if he should even stay at Beacon at all? Will Jaune be able to figure out what to do next? And who is this mysterious creature that is following him? Find out all of this and more as the journey continues]
[To Be Continued]
Hey everyone, PrimusPilus here to give his two cents.
Again, I'm sorry for deleting Arc Of The Moon.
I was just feeling overwhelmed as I kept questioning if I was doing the right decision over and over again and eventually led me into a huge funk that really messed up my rhythm! Add to the fact that I've had a really bad cold this last several days and I decided to delete it out of sheer spite and I'm truly sorry for that!
Anyway that is why I decided to do this rewrite right away so I could fix my wrongdoing! Now I want us to do a proper vote system this time so please all of you vote!
Do you want Jaune to have
Rowlet
or
Litten
or
Popplio
Like the Pokemon stories before this the one with the most votes will be the starter pokémon so please vote if you can! I'm not putting any pressure on you I just want you to vote to the best of your ability as they would really help me to decide as it's harder than it looks to decide on this story.
Anyway, I really hope you like this revised version better as I plan to do a better job on it. If you have any suggestions on the story please feel free to send me a comment or send me a PM with your suggestions as I truly do value your opinions.
Anyway have a safe day everyone and stay safe out there as the journey continues!
This is PrimusPilus signing off and hoping to see all of you next time!
