Been a while since the last update, sorry, life and stuff got in the way.
Anyway, here's the next chapter, enjoy!
Jaune let out a quick yawn as he sat through Port's class. While he did learn a lot about Grimm strengths and weaknesses, the professor did have a tendency to get lost in tales of his past glory. Jaune didn't mind though, it gave him time to rest and think about other things.
Since his curse was now public knowledge to the whole school as of two weeks ago, things weren't as bad or chaotic as he thought they would be. He did get a lot of attention the first few days with people almost hounding him with curiosity about what he can do, but he had his team to thank for keeping them from swarming him. Also, some funny guy kept breaking into his locker and leaving dog treats just for him. Real original.
Other than that and becoming the topic of some quiet gossip every, all seemed to be ok.
"Now then, I have recently caught an Ursa last night when I made a leisurely walk through the forest," Port said as he took the tarp off the large cage. The Grimm then started howling and tapping against its prison. "Who would like to use the technique I explained in my story to kill the foul beast?"
'Technique?' Jaune thought. Maybe he should have been paying attention.
"Jaune Arc, I've yet to see you in action yet. Why not show the rest of us what you got?"
Jaune blinked before getting up heading down to the front of the classroom.
"Good luck," Pyrrha whispered.
"Rip its throat out!" Nora cheered.
Ren just gave him a thumbs up.
"Ready Mister Arc?" Port asked.
"Ready," Jaune raised his weapon and shield.
"Then. BEGIN!" Port cut the chain off and the door flung open. The Ursa came out and looked at its surroundings before locking eyes with Jaune. It growled and charged him, but Jaune was ready.
Jaune never fought an Ursa this big before, but he was more than able to keep up with it thanks to his dad's training. Every charge was dodged and swipe was deflected away. Jaune felt a nervousness in his stomach but just chalked it up to moving so fast so soon after soon got a few good swipes on its paws, causing it to roar in pain and recoil away leaving its neck exposed.
Jaune grippe his sword tight, pouncing forward for the killing blow to end the fight.
POOF
Corcea Mors bounced off the Grimm harmlessly and clanked on the floor. If anyone didn't have their attention to the fight, they now gave it their full attention as the Grimm took a moment to tilt its head. Where once stood a 6ft tall huntsman, not stood a 1ft tall golden puppy.
Jaune panted in nervousness as he turned around to look at himself. 'Oh come on! Now?! of all times!' He screamed internally. He turned back around to the Ursa, just in time to see its open mouth inches away from his face.
om nom
The Grimm closed its jaw and loudly gulped down Jaune whole in one go.
The classroom became deafly silent. Port's eyes were so wide that they were now visible. The students' faces were a mix of shock, worry, and fear. Could you blame them? They just watched someone die right in front of them. As a puppy no less!
Team's RWBY and JNPR were the most affected. Someone who was their teammate, comrade, and best friend was now gone. Pyrrha was on the verge of tears as she hyperventilated and gripped her hair, pulling it as she wanted to scream. And she would have too if the whole class didn't gasp at what happened next.
The Grimm's belly recoiled and it put its paw on its stomach. His belly then recoiled again, and again, and again until it fell on its side. The belly started bulging out with each recoil until finally there was a tear and out came a very, very angry dog.
Jaune rolled on the floor before shaking his head and growling at the Grimm with malicious intent. Jaune Arc was not small, or fluffy, or a 'cutey wuutey wittle thing'. He was a vicious war beast! An apex predator feared by the gods! And he did not appreciate being eaten!
The Grimm roared in pain and shook his head and Jaune bit down on and tore off his ear. Jaune then ran back up and clamped down on its neck, viciously tearing away at the monster's hind. He bit and ripped and tore through its neck until the Grimm finally died. Too lost in bloodlust, Jaune didn't notice until the Grimm's body disappeared and made him look around in confusion.
The classroom was once again in stunned silence. Professor Port was the first to recover. "Bravo!" he cheered and clapped in a loud vigorous glee, happy at both Jaune's amazing feat and at the fact that he no longer had to fear Glynda chewing him out for getting a student killed. "Splendid job Mister Arc! I was almost worried but you showed that beast just what you're made of! Bravo!"
"Arf!" Jaune barked happily.
"Uh…. Yeah! Go Jaune!" Yang and the rest of the classroom started to recover and cheer for Jaune, both impressed at what he managed to do in his current state and happy that seeing a small puppy get eaten in front of them wouldn't haunt their dreams.
Jaune's tail wagged at the praise as he made his way back to and hopped up on his seat. Not a moment later Pyrrha scooped him up onto her lap, holding him tight and rubbing his back while muttering, "You're ok... you're ok... you're ok..."
In the back of the classroom, Team CRDL, while also impressed with what Jaune did, were also a little scared now. If Jaune was able to do that… Cardin pushed the bag of dog treats further into his backpack. Maybe that little prank of theirs should go on hold for now.
Thanks for reading, have a good day :)
