The training for R.W.B.Y.J. the second has started, and they are beginning to regret it. Scáthach was a devil when it came to training. They have no clue that the training they are doing is nothing more than a warmup for the real deal in a few days. Jaune and Scáthach always start the training slowly, then it would pick up in a few days. This is to make them get used to the difficulty of the training and learn what to expect.
Jaune was in Menagerie at the moment doing some interviews for new employees. Currently, the new Arc Industries have hired 8,600 new workers, and they have room for a lot more. The problem is the Faunus are afraid to apply since Arc Industries is affiliated with S.D.C. and the stigma of the company is still fresh. Nonetheless, with Ghira and Sienna's help, they were about to get more people to apply.
After a few hours of interviewing new hires, Jaune was done with the interviews. However, it's not the end of the day for him. Friday informed him of his next appointment.
"Sir, you have an appointment with Miss Goodwitch," Friday said. "Regarding a semblance training".
"That's right," Jaune said. "Off to Beacon we go".
Jaune said goodbye to Willow before sending her back to S.D.C. headquarters in Atlas. He then opened a portal to Beacon. Once there, he headed to Glynda's office. He knocked on the door, and she gave him permission to enter. Jaune saw her doing her usual work.
"Glynda," Jaune said. "Are you ready to train for today?".
"Just give me a moment," Glynda said. She was doing work that Ozpin delegated to her due to his laziness. "I just need to complete this paperwork, and I should be ready… You know, I don't know how you deal with so much paperwork from the S.D.C. and have time to help me train my semblance".
"I have a Natural Language Interface to help me with it," Jaune said. "If you like, I can design a simple one for you that could help lighten your workload".
"I can't possibly ask you to do that for me, Jaune," Glynda said. She then smiled at him. "You're already doing so much for me by just helping me train my semblance".
"It's no skin off my back," Jaune said. "Besides, you seem like you could use some help. I still don't get why Ozpin is the Headmaster. You seem to be far more qualified than he is".
Glynda just sighed at Jaune's question. She had no proper answer to that question except that Ozpin is an immortal, and he essentially controls all the Huntsman Academy in the dark.
For a few hours, Jaune trained Glynda in the usage of her semblance. To say that Glynda's control is superb would be an understatement. Jaune was using coloured sand as a way to test Glynda's control. A while back, it took Glynda a few minutes to separate the different colours, but now it took her no more than a few seconds.
"You're amazing, Glynda," Jaune said. "Soon, with a bit more training, you might be able to use your telekinesis to a molecular level. Once you achieve that, you could become one of Remnant's strongest Huntress".
"Thanks for the compliment, Jaune," Glynda said. "But I don't think it would be anytime soon for me to achieve molecular telekinesis since I don't have too much free time to train".
Jaune continued Glynda's training. Glynda didn't know that when Jaune said she would be soon achieving molecular telekinesis, he considered her busy schedule.
It was at this moment Jaune received a call from Willow. She was afraid. Willow told Jaune that she had been followed by someone since she left the office.
Jaune didn't know why she was being followed or by who, but he wouldn't let Willow's worries be. He immediately left without even telling Glynda as he was worried.
Jaune made the right choice to head immediately to Willow's location. Right before he arrived, Willow was nearly killed. Thankfully, he was in time to stop the attack. Angry would be an understatement of what Jaune was feeling. He might have only known Willow for a month, but he connected with her. Jaune liked Willow a lot, especially when she stopped drinking and became a proper parent to her children. Well, striving to be a proper parent to her children.
And to see her nearly killed when she was starting to be happy anger Jaune. He didn't attack the assassin for now. No, he sent the assassin inside (Training Room – Legendary). But before doing anything, Jaune decided to bring Willow home and let her rest. Jaune also created protection around the Schnee Manor to ensure no uninvited guest could enter.
It was after sending Willow home that things got gruesome. Jaune entered (Training Room – Legendary) and started interrogating the assassin. Jaune showed no remorse for him.
"I want to know who it was that sent you!" Jaune said in anger but in a low enough tone that sounded calm. "If you keep the information I want a secret, your suffering will only worsen by the minute. Believe me, I'm quite cruel when I need to be, such as now".
The assassin then spat on Jaune, but it never reached him.
"I'll never tell you anything!" the assassin shouted. "You can torture me all you want, but you'll never get any information from me!".
"So be it," Jaune said. "I'm not the one going to suffer".
The poor sap didn't know who he pissed off.
"You know, I recently received something that would help me in this situation," Jaune said. "It's called (Master Potion Maker). I have knowledge of powerful potion that can heal you instantly, but that's not what's important".
Jaune then took out a potion in his inventory that he made not too long ago. It was a failed concoction that he was experimenting with. It's a potion meant to simulate the muscle to help with training, but that didn't go according to plan and instead became a potion that stimulated pain receptors by a 10000x. Jaune shoved this potion in the assassin's mouth without hesitation.
The assassin screamed at the top of his lungs. However, the more he screamed, the more painful it got since the vibration created by the scream was causing pain, which shouldn't usually happen as the body is used to this level of vibration. But due to the pain receptor multiplier, breathing alone was painful.
This would go on for hours. The assassin would die from the pain he was feeling, but since (Training Room – Legendary) has no concept of death, he would come back and feel the pain again. As if the pain from breathing and screaming was not enough, Jaune would use his knowledge of human biology to stab the assassin in places that cause the most pain.
Eventually, Jaune was able to get what he wanted. As it turns out, people weren't happy that Faunus was being treated as a person rather than a tool, and they tried to kill Willow and use that to frame Jaune. They used the fact that Jaune was away on a business trip to Menagerie to attack Willow. Jaune also learned that this information was given by a Faunus in Menagerie that did not like the Arc Industries' presence in their lands.
Unfortunately for them, they didn't know that Jaune could appear before Willow at any moment. After extracting every information he can get from the assassin, Jaune took him out of (Training Room – Legendary) and killed him. However, Jaune wasn't done. He went to the location of the people the assassin was working for and gave them the same treatment before killing them to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
Jaune strives to be a hero, but one thing is for sure. If there is a time for a Devil to come out, it will come out. Jaune will never show mercy to one that dares harm the people he cares about. Everything that Jaune did to the assassin and the people he worked with was ignored by Scáthach as she knew that those types of people should never be allowed to continue existing. Out of sight, out of mind in a way.
A week later, Jaune didn't even bother with R.W.B.Y.J. the second. Instead, he stayed by Willow's side. Willow was afraid to leave her home after what happened. But after much encouragement from Jaune, she decided she didn't want to be a damsel in distress and be the woman who drowned her sorrow in alcohol after every incident.
No, Willow decided she wanted to get stronger to protect herself and her family and make sure such situations never happen again. And who better to train her than the strongest person she knows and love.
