Chapter:23 Battle and First Date
It was now time for Team JNPR's match against Team BRNZ.
Jaune and his team stood on the side with a mountain behind them with Team BRNZ standing on the other side with a lush forests.
The blonde knight let out a sigh as he look to see his friends and family sitting with the audience.
"You ready?" Jaune asked his team.
"My entire life!" Nora said in excitement.
"Always," Pyrrha said.
"Just waiting orders," Ren said.
Jaune smiled from their response as his grip on Crocea Mors tightens.
In that commentor's booth, Prof. Port and Doctor Oobleck sit on their seats as they waited for the match to start so they could finally do when they were put in the booth. A large holographic screen counts down withProf. Portover the crowd's cheering.
"3... 2... 1..."
"Then let's do this!" Jaune shouted as he points Crocea Mors to the air with electricity covering the blade.
"Begin!"
All four members of JNPR charge forward, but only three fighters from BRNZ do the same; the beanie-wearing May Zedong turns around and heads into the trees, cocking her weapon. In the center of the field, leader Brawnz Ni delivers a knee kick to Pyrrha's shield that sends her skidding back, right before she blocks the claws on his fists with her xiphos. She jerks her sword away and makes him leap back, just as the sniper jumps up into the branches of the forest with the bladed butt of her sniper rifle. Ren readies his StormFlower to attack Nolan Porfirio, who almost gets blindsided by Nora swing with Magnhild before he ducks under the attack and attempts to hit her with hiscattle prod. The sniper girl finally takes aim from her spot and manages to fire off two rounds near Ren, destroying the rocks behind him. Jaune manages to block the buzzsaw gloves of Roy Stallion with his own shield before he notices the bullets flying and sees the glint of the gun in the leaves.
"Fall back!" Jaune ordered as Ren glances back at his leader as a shot hits the ground by his feet. He and Nora start running back into the mountains as Jaune and Pyrrha cover their escape by blocking the bullets with their shields. The four leap over a rocky outcropping for cover.
"What do we do?" Pyrrha asked as projectiles kept pelting their cover.
Jaune look over the edge of his cover and ordered, "Spread out! Try to keep moving and don't get hit!"
Jaune's team then followed suite as Brawnz lands a punch on Jaune's shield, but Jaune pushed and kicked him away from his team. May gets even higher in the tree and smiles from behind her scope as she looks at the fight below. Brawnz and Pyrrha continue to duke it out while Nolan slowly advances on Ren when he slides into his path. The prod-wielding warrior looks back at the trees and nods to his hidden ally, who shoots at Ren's feet again and makes him jump around trying to dodge them. Just as he lands, Nolan hits him upside the head with his weapon and is able to easily dodge the retaliatory kick while landing another blow to Ren's knee and a final hit to the chest using the business end of his prod. Electricity shoots through Ren's body before he collapses to the ground beside his childhood friend.
"Ren!" Nora called out in worry as she scowls and takes a swing at Nolan, who promptly dodges it and again unleashes his weapon's power into her corset, though this causes a quite different reaction from the grinning redhead.
"Oh-ho! Looks like one of my favorite students, Nora Valkyrie, is charging up to use her Semblance!" Peter said.
"What?" Nolan could only say as he look at the screen with a panic look.
"Yes, Ms. Valkyrie's Semblance lets her produce, as well as channel, electrical energy straight to her muscles! This allows her to jump explosively into the air, wield her mighty hammer, or in this case, absorb Nolan's attacks and send the young man flying!" Doctor Oobleck said.
"What?!" Nolan could only scream in horror as he look to his opponent.
Nolan finally takes his cattle prod away, but the damage is done: Nora flexes her arms as pink lightning is seen coursing through her body. Nolan attempts to lift his hands up in surrender, but thunder starts sparking from Nora's Aura as she rushes at him. There's a split-second where Nolan's horrified face and Nora's victorious smile are seen close-up on the sides of the screens before the hammer hits head-on and Nolan bounces back across the field, crashing through a rock and staying there when he's stopped moving.
Jaune looks back at the mountaintop on his team's side as a dark storm cloud appears over it, crackling with lightning. He looks over at his energized teammate and ordered, "Nora! Get to the mountain!"
Nora gave him a salute and said, "You got it!
Nora then ran off to the mountain as Jaune look at Ren and ordered, "Ren! Try and distract the sniper!"
"Sure... Why not," Ren sarcastically replied and slouches as another shot nearly misses his head.
The remaining three members of JNPR run forward as Nora hops up and rapidly ascends the mountain. Roy throws the saws from his gloves into Jaune's shield, Jaune held firm as he send back the weapon to its owner. Pyrrha gets up close to him, and he delivers a series of spinning swings with his arms into Akoúo̱ as Jaune followed suite with Crocea Mors now having electricity covered its blade.
"Yeah! Go get 'em, Jaune!" Ruby cheered from her seat with the other viewers sitting along with her team.
"He is certainly amazing," Weiss commented.
"Just look at them go!" Yang said in amazement.
"Go Jauney!" Sun cheered.
Back in the fight, Jaune and Pyrrha are taking on both Brawnz and Roy as Pyrrha delivered a kick to Roy as she deftly dodges and blocks the discs of Brawnz, throwing her javelin to distract Roy while Jaune came in and lands a blow on Brawnz. May attempts to shoot Ren while he dashes his way toward her position, leaping out of the way of her shots, the flying saws, and even sliding under Pyrrha before he runs at Nolan, weapons blasting until he's close enough to start swinging his blades away. He ducks and deflects each of the cattle prod's attempted hits until he manages to hold it in the pistol's blades and double kicks his opponent, giving him the opportunity to catch Nolan's weapon in his own as the prod is forced behind Nolan's head and leaves him trapped. Ren hides behind the teammate of the sniper, who stops aiming at him and lifts her barrel up to another target.
"Nora!" Ren called out as he keeps the struggling Nolan in place.
"Pyrrha! Up!" Jaune ordered as he catches Brawnz's claws with his electrified blade while Nora lifts herself higher and higher to the top.
His partner rushes towards him, dodge rolling to avoid a launched saw until she bounds over Brawnz and lands on Jaune's shield. He manages to throw her into the air with her own shield raised to block the kill-shot aimed at Nora. This gives the redhead just enough time reach the peak, and she lifts her hammer up as a bolt of lightning hits the weapon directly. She changes it back into grenade-launching form and pops the front off to reveal six explosives that shoot out over the field in a heart-shaped formation onto the sniper. The poor girl barely has time to gawk before she leaps over to a nearby tree just as the one she was in goes up in pink flames, leaving only a giant scorch mark billowing smoke to block out the coughing sniper's view. She jumps down from the branches just as her three teammates look up and behind them at Nora coming down on them like a meteor, slamming her hammer into the ground and sending the enemies back at the feet of their disoriented teammate.
"This is it, guys! Let's finish 'em with team attacks!" Jaune said to his team. "Ren! Nora! Thunder Lily!"
Ren then rushes in as he stuns Team BRNZ with his weapon, and Nora then launches him to the air as he crashed right into them.
"Nora! Finish it!" Jaune ordered as Nora jumps over in front of the opposing team and sent them hurdling straight to the forcefield with her hammer as Team BRNZ are left groaning in pain from the combined forces.
"And with that, it appears Team JNPR wins by knockout, literally! ...Can someone go make sure they're okay?" Prof. Port asked for a medical team.
"Phew," Jaune could only sigh in relief as he and Pyrrha walk together in the streets of Vale City.
Pyrrha is with him because this is part of the girl's pact.
Each day, he would give two of the girls a date so he wouldn't neglect all of them, and since Pyrrha wanted to have one very quickly. The redhead asked him for a date before the day that he would began to do his dating spree, in exchange that she can't date him till the end of the week.
"So where to first?" Jaune asked as Pyrrha thought about it.
"How about a cafe," Pyrrha suggested.
"Well cafe it is then," The two then began to walk around the city till they find a good cafe.
They then entered the fine establishment to see some people that they knew, especially Doctor Oobleck ordering a coffee with triple the caffeine.
The two then takes a seat as they then wait for a waiter.
"So..." Jaune then trailed off as he quickly look to the opposite direction.
"So..." Pyrrha did the same as she also feel embarrassed by this.
Jaune took a deep breathe and said, "Why did you like me?"
Pyrrha look at him in surprise and said," What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, there many guys out there so why me?" Jaune asked.
Pyrrha smiled and said, "When we first met, I was so happy when you did me at all. Well, except the cereal."
"Really?" Jaune said in surprise.
"Really, I really didn't want the fame actually. I just want to get some money for my family, but I guess the use of my Semblance to keep myself from getting hit gotta get some attention."
"I kinda get where you're going."
"Really?" Pyrrha asked.
"Yeah, my four elder sisters is quite famous in some part of Remnant so people not really expect of me and Lucy yet till my twin sister began to go to school while I was put to homeschool."
"Why?"
"My family always have a male heir, so when my four older sisters were born, my parents just want them to follow their dreams while also protecting the family so they don't have to take the heavy responsibility of it. While they tried to oppose it, but they soon accept that our parents really want to let them follow their dreams."
"So what then?"
"So I was then be taught by my mom and grandfather till I am old enough to get to Beacon, I always be taught with the family techniques, but I never really use a sword till you taught me."
"So why the fake transcripts then?"
"Since you know I'm homeschooled, I really don't have any degree so my family have to improvise so I could get in. But then..."
"Then..."
"I began to get nervous and scared you know, I really don't go out a lot, the only time if my family want to have a family day out or its the holidays. I never really know to talk to people outside my friends and I don't have some crush when I was a kid."
"Why?"
"You could say that its my sisters fault, their own friends doesn't count, but they were very protective of me till I got to Beacon."
"So you really don't know of how to get a girlfriend then?"
Jaune nervously chuckle and said, "Yeah, even if my friends tried to hook me up with one, my sisters will defensive of me. I guess that they really don't want to have someone they don't know in the family. Like... what happened with Arthuria."
The mood then began to feel more somber as Pyrrha began to twiddle her thumbs because of it.
Jaune noticed this and said, "Sorry for mentioning that, I guess one of the Professors told you about this, it was very hard for her you know."
"I could imagine, having to take care of a child must be very hard alone."
"Well the whole family did help on taking care of Mordred, but it was hard for them to even mention Morgan's name around her because she always want to know about her other mother."
"So your family didn't want to have the same mistake again?"
"Yeah, we pride ourselves of our love to our family, but if one broke it then there will be retribution to the ones who broke it. When one heart broke then many broke along. When one is betrayed then everyone in the family is betrayed."
"Then would you take a chance with me?"
"That is why we are having this date in the first place, I want to know more, to know what I could do, to learn from everything," Jaune said as Pyrrha smiled.
"Then you better prepare for the others," Pyrrha said as Jaune nervously chuckles.
"I know."
They then began to order and continued chatting.
It was now night-time as the blond and redhead duo returned to Beacon and are now walking to their dorm room.
"Thanks for having me today," Pyrrha said.
"No problem. If I didn't, my sisters would scold me for this," Jaune said as the two chuckles till the two lock their eyes to each other.
Pyrrha then suddenly kissed on his left cheek which shocked him as theb redhead then smiled at him.
"Next week then?" Pyrrha asked as Jaune numbly nods as she then entered their dorm room.
Jaune's hand then reached to his kissed cheek as he was still shock that he got a kiss from a girl that is not his family or his sister's friends.
"Ahem," Jaune then stood in place out of fear as he shakily look behind him to see his sister Seras looking at him with a cheeky smile.
"So... How is your date?" Seras asked but he couldn't speak without losing his dignity. This made the blonde woman smile in a teasing manner as she then grab his hand and began to drag him away.
"W-What? Hey! Where are you dragging me?!" Jaune asked out of fear.
"Where else? To our other sisters of course," Seras said as Jaune began to pale. "I might even get mom."
Jaune began to frantically try to get away as he did get his hand out of hers, but Seras grabbed his left leg and tried to stop by using his nails on the floor.
"You won't escape this Jaune. They will know about this and we'll have a little talk with you."
"NO!!!"
And that is for this chapter.
Arc Music Album is literally nearing the end and I am not planning on a sequel for this. So I am focusing on Jaune's dates with the other girls for the next chapters and add some songs to some of them.
For now, there will still be a big delay since I want to focus on Victory through Remnant. If I ever reach a dead end where Volume 9 isn't out yet, I would focus on this story till I finished.
So I'll see you guys on the next chapter.
Vic out Peace.
