A date.
A subject that Jaune knows nothing about as he has never experienced it for himself.
However, for some miraculous reasons, he was going on a date with two beautiful women.
Albeit one of them is his sister, it doesn't matter in this world.
Jaune already knew that the date would be them going to the arcades, but he thought it was going to be one of the venues. He was wrong.
…
Jaune learned something new.
Terra was a gaming champ for Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle.
No, really. She has the trophies and everything.
There is an e-sport competition for it.
It impressed Jaune. To him, Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle was a simple game since he was used to playing Street Fighter, Tekken, and Dead or Alive in his old world. Hence, those skills were kept when he awakened his memories, making him a beast in the game.
Yeah, Jaune has over three decades of gaming experience in fighting games. He is one hell of a Zombies player too.
One reason Saphron brought Jaune to an arcade for date night is because she wants to see him lose.
Five years ago, she told Jaune that she would make him lose. Now, it doesn't have to be her that beats him. Hence, Terra.
"Mu-ha-ha-ha! This time, you'll lose, Jaune!" said Saphron. She was rejoicing too early. "I can't wait to see your face when you lose! You didn't even know that Terra is a champ!".
"Oh… no…," said Jaune with a deadpan expression. He then looked at Terra. He then pointed at the vacant spot. "Shall we?".
"Oh? You know, Saphron said that you were quite the player. I wonder how long you will last against me," said Terra. She has her pride as a champion. "No holds barred?"
"No holds barred," said Jaune.
As the game started, Saphron started cheering on Terra.
In the first round of the first match, Terra was gaining the upper hand.
Jaune's character only had a third of its health.
Saphron was excited to see Jaune lose. She hasn't seen that in a long time.
However, at the last moment, Jaune could do a sixteen-hit combo that ended Terra's character. The entire time, Jaune was lowering her health for a perfect sixteen-hit combo.
"W-What just happened?" asked Terra. She has played the game for a long time, but she has seen no one execute such a combo. She looked at Jaune and saw his triumphant smirk.
"Oops! I guess the first round is my win," said Jaune. He then did a shoulder shrug. "Better buckle up, this is going to be a bumpy one".
Terra was getting her ass handed to her.
However, in the second round of the fifth match, she learned Jaune's semi-pattern.
Semi-pattern since Jaune doesn't repeat said pattern a lot, but he has a habit of doing it.
Terra was a champion for a reason.
"Yes! Take that!" said Saphron. She was more excited about Jaune's loss of the round than Terra. "Five years! That's how long I haven't seen you lose!".
"Five years! No one has beaten him in five years?!" said Terra. She was shocked. Sure, Saphron wasn't the greatest player of Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle, but she was decent. She can beat Terra from time to time. Okay, Saphron was better than decent. "Unbelievable".
"Congratulations, Terra. You broke my five years no knock-out streak," said Jaune. "However, you haven't broken my five-year streak for no match lost".
Was that a challenge? Terra thought it was. Oh, she accepted that challenge.
"Challenge accepted, Jaune!" said Terra. She hasn't been this excited about Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle in a long time. It was the reason she quit the championship. "This is going to be fun!".
The match raged on.
Jaune and Terra weren't letting up. The duo was gathering a crowd.
In the hundredth round, the crowd cheered for Terra.
She won a match.
The crowd went wild.
"Well played, Terra," said Jaune. He then shook her hands. "That was the best match I've had. You made me work for my victories in many of the matches".
"You too, Jaune," said Terra. She smiled and laughed. "Oum knows, I haven't had this much fun playing Kung Fu Ninja Slayer Ultimate Death Battle. Let's do this again some other time".
"It would be my please to accompany you," said Jaune. He then grabbed his stomach. "How about we get something to eat? We've been here for a while now. I don't know about you, but I'm famished".
"Hey! There is a great restaurant nearby," said Saphron. "Why don't we go there to grab something to eat?".
Jaune and Terra nodded at Saphron, and they made their way to the restaurant.
Suddenly, Terra remembered something she forgot because of the excitement she felt. She leaned towards Saphron's ears and whispered.
"Hey, Saph. I think we are forgetting something," said Terra. Saphron looked at her. "Weren't we supposed to let Jaune get to know us more romantically?".
"Oh, crap!" whispered Saphron. She was so engrossed in making Jaune lose, she lost track of her objective. "Okay! Okay! We can still do this!".
"You know I can hear you both, right?" said Jaune. He made them know their whispers were not as quiet as they thought. "Besides, I already knew of your objective".
"Um… Me not know your language?" said Saphron.
"Hilarious, Saph," said Jaune. He sighed. This isn't the first time Saphron did this. "Besides, if you want me to see you in that light, you don't have to. That happened a few weeks ago".
"Huh? A few weeks ago?" asked Saphron. "Isn't that the time you started avoiding me?".
"Yeah! Why did you think I started avoiding you?" asked Jaune. He looked at Saphron, who had zero clue. But Terra realised it. "Heh! Terra, you already know".
"If it was a few weeks ago, then you must have heard us," said Terra. Saphron just now realised. "You heard me say that Saphron has the hots for you".
"Yep! The reason I started avoiding Saphron was that I started seeing her less of a sister, and in a more romantic way," said Jaune. He sighed. "I thought avoiding her for a while will make me forget about it, but that didn't happen. Then, Saphron asked me to go on a date with you. After that, I learn that you, Terra, had a thing for me too".
Terra and Saphron were embarrassed. It then hit them.
"Wait? If you knew this whole time, then why did you decide to come?" asked Saphron. Jaune only raised an eyebrow at Saphron. "Oh! You're okay with this".
"I wasn't at first, but someone convinced me to try it," said Jaune. He smiled. "Go on this date and see what I think he said".
Terra and Saphron's hearts pounded in their chest. They wanted to know what Jaune thought about them, what he thought about his time with them.
"Oh, Oum!" said Saphron. She couldn't take the suspense. "Just tell us what you think!".
"Ha-ha-ha! I wouldn't say that I hate it," said Jaune. "But I want us to get to know each other not as siblings nor as my sister's friend or my friend's brother. Let's get to know each other as if we didn't know each other".
"Oh! So you want to get to know us without our previous connection," said Saphron. "Why not?"
Jaune smiled, and they continued their way to the restaurant.
Once they were seated. They had a conversation.
"Why don't we start now?" said Saphron. "Ahem! I am Saphron Arc. I have six sisters and a younger brother".
As Saphron started off the conversation, Jaune and Terra laughed and followed suit.
Although the idea didn't sound that great at first, they ended up having fun.
Jaune learned things about Saphron that the family didn't know about.
For example, Jaune didn't know that Saphron was a prankster at school.
Saphron was nearly expelled. She could only stay because she was one of the top students. Otherwise, the principal of the school would have her removed. How their parents didn't find out, Jaune didn't know.
For Terra, Jaune learnt she was quite different when she was in school. She was quite the rule breaker. Nowadays, Terra was on the up and up. She even landed a job at a local communications tower.
As for Saphron and Terra, they learned Jaune was planning to train for his dream of being a Huntsman.
"I knew it!" said Saphron. She was laughing manically. "I told Ivory, I told her that there was no way you would have given up your dreams of being a Huntsman! Ha-ha-ha! That's a hundred Lien for me!".
Terra looked at Jaune.
"You plan to train to be a Huntsman?" asked Terra. She was confused. Most people train at a younger age. "Why start now and not a few years ago?".
"Because I made a promise to not train until I'm fifteen," said Jaune. And it was the best promise he made in his life. Otherwise, he would have missed out on so much. "I might start late, but I will catch up in no time".
"Hmm… Which Huntsman Academy do you plan to enter?" asked Terra. "The closest one would be Vale, so Beacon".
"Beacon was my chose in the first place," said Jaune. He did his research on Beacon. "Since I don't have a transcript, I can take part in their assessment of prospective students. I have two years to train; It should be plenty of time".
Terra, Saphron, and Jaune continued to enjoy their time together. The fact Jaune and Saphron are siblings was forgotten.
