A/N: Thank you for your work.

I think it's great that more mentally challenged people are writing and sharing how they view the world with the rest of us. I know it must have been hard, but thankfully you managed to write despite your disability and show us characters as mentally challenged as you.

Keep it up champ! 3

Now isn't this an interesting review? Starts off with the guy being decent, only for him to come out as a passive-aggressive asshole.

Still, I should thank him. He helped remind me why my hatred of humanity of justified. You see, I DESPISE humans. I think they are evil, worthless, horrid, parasitic species that really should die off. I mean, we're absolutely horrible creatures. Look at this guy, for example. Had no reason to say what he did, but did it so easily. After all, humans are naturally cruel. It's so easy for us to attack each other.

We, as a species, are not inherently good. Time and time again, we have shown that we are cruel and evil creatures, and we LOVE it. Whoever said love is the most powerful force in the universe was an optimistic fool. Love is weak. Hatred is strong, especially in this day and age. There is good in the world, but evil far, far, far outweighs it.

Though, ironically, I have shown signs of mental illness. ADHD, dementia, and good ol' fashioned insanity. I've forgotten my own birthday. Hell, there was even a moment when I forgot my name. Yet, oddly enough, I always remember the WORST aspects of my life. My bullies, my humiliations, the people I considered enemies. In short, I remember my HATRED. So guys like malekarie125 stick in my memory because they remind me of how humans deserve hatred.

However, I was also curious as to why he said what he did, and came up with a few theories-

1. Jaune is the main character. As we all know, the RWBY fandom isn't a big fan of Jaune, and most of them are for stupid reasons. "The show is called RWBY, so why is Jaune getting all the screen time?" In my opinion, Jaune gets just enough screen time to develop. I mean, he's the only one who's actually evolving. Look at his sword. First form, just a sword and shield. Second form, a freakin' great sword. Third form, he gets to glide with the bitch!

Now, look at Ruby's scythe. . . The blade turns when she pulls a trigger. . . So basically she flips it. . . Neat.

People also don't like him because he's a "self-insert". Bull. Shit. You wanna see a REAL self-insert? Read I'm Not Starfire. . . Actually, no. That is way too cruel. No one deserves that. Just watch the YouTube reviews about Dumpsterfire. Starfire is still so kind, adopting that horrible little shit. Even have her a blood transplant so she can have her powers. Too kind.

Oh, and let's not forgot the biggest and dumbest reason people hate Jaune. . . He's shipped with Ruby, which gets in the way of White Rose. Yeah. A handsome young man is shipped with a beautiful young woman who is shipped with another young woman and people hate him for it.

Anyway...

2. My second theory for why this guy would hate this fan fic... is because Jaune is a good father. Or, at the very least, trying to be a good one.

In this day and age, fathers are despised. Some of the most famous TV dads are bumbling idiots that can't do anything right, cause nothing but trouble for their wives, and do more harm than good for their children. Bonus points if they get drunk most of the time. And in some stories, dad is nowhere to be seen because he either ran away or was never in the picture.

Jaune isn't that kind of dad. He loves Argent, raised him practically on his own, teaches him, and is showing him how to grow up into a fine young man. He's the type of father that feels rare these days. The type of father that needs to be praised more. The type of father people need, and if I'm being honest, I'm hoping that men like that read this story more than humans like malekari125. I don't know if they're male or female, but they are not a man.

3. This one is the most likely. . . They're just an asshole.

After all, I looked at their fan fic page. It's so easy to criticize and look down on someone else's work, especially if you don't have any work of your own for others to do the same. If this was another writer, it might have made more sense, but this guy never wrote a one-shot, yet he's so happily degrading someone else's work? But then again, it is easier to be an asshole than it is to write a story for others to enjoy.

But, he could always prove me wrong. If someone as mentally challenged as me can write a story with 27 and counting chapters, someone with a "normal" mentality like you should be able to write a masterpiece in your sleep, right? If not, well, here are some quotes from people I care about-

Jade:... okay wait what?
Julie: okay this guy screams ignorant jackass

Wow, frickin asshole prick. Please tell me you told him off

TL;DR- Fuck you.

Moral of this story? Humanity sucks, and if you think "I hate humanity", say it loud and say it proud! And remember, you are justified to hate the human race! After all, we're all people, and people are shit.

Now then, onto the story.


Jaune was leaning against the wall next to the tunnel, waiting for New Mantle soldiers to appear. He looked over, punched off a chunk of ice, and used his magic to create a stone teacup. He then dug into his pocket, took out a packet, and poured it into the cup. He finished by blowing fire onto the ice, steaming water falling into the cup. He waited until he could smell the tea before taking a sip.

'Raven's favorite brew,' Nimueh asked.

"You know it," he said as he took another sip.

'I swear, you're still in love with her.'

"Nah. We had our fling. What was there between me and her is over. Besides, I have you. I married up."

'Hmph. Damn right, you did.'

"But be honest, you like 'sharing a bed' with her, too, don't you," Jaune asked as he gave Nimueh a sly smile.

'Baby, I love you, but that doesn't mean I won't hurt you.'

"That wasn't a no, Nim."

'When we get back to our room, your ass is mine.'

Jaune chuckled at the challenge before taking another sip of his tea. He then looked up when he heard the whirl of an airship. He finished the rest of the tea as it landed, crushing the cup in his hand. He was surprised to see who walked off of the ship. "Huh. I honestly thought you'd be too busy with something else, Harriet."

"A bunch of low lives finds an entrance into Atlas ruins, trying to rob us of our own tech. Nothing is more important than this, hero."

Jaune hummed before he reached behind him. "Catch," he said as he tossed something to Harriet.

She easily caught it, but her eyes widened when she saw what was in her hands. "These are..." She tightened her grip around Ironwood's Due Process guns. She then took a deep breath. "Is his bod-"

"It's intact, Har." Jaune then took out his scroll and typed into it. "These are its coordinates," he said as he sent the information to the operative as more ships arrived.

Harriet looked at her scroll before handing the guns to a Mantle Knight, the robot carrying the weapons onto Harriet's ship. "Any Grimm we need to worry about?"

"I left a few Apathies with the robbers."

"The Knights can deal with them."

"There are also a few of my Beowolves, but no wild Grimm to speak of. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if a Centinel appears."

"Noted. I think you've done enough for the day. You're approved for early off-duty hours this day."

"Thank you, ma'am, but I think I'll just scout the city for a bit. Give it a quick scan," he said as he grew wings.

Harriet sighed. "Give a man the chance to turn in for the day, and he instead chooses overtime. Do you ever rest, superhero," Harriet asked with crossed arms and a smile.

"Do you ever slow down, super soldier," Jaune asked with a smile.

"Smartass," she retorted with a smirk.

Jaune was about to fly off. "Hey, Jaune?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you. . . For finding this."

Jaune saw the look in Harriet's eyes, knowing that she needed this for closure. . . To be able to bury her old leader. Jaune just nodded before flying off.

'You know, maybe you should return to base and get some rest. . . Before they experiment on you, anyway.'

"Eh, I've got time."

'Well, what do you expect to find? I doubt anything is going to happen in the middle of the day.'

"I'm sure I'll see a mugging or some-" Jaune then sensed something. "Hello."

'Really? This late in the day?'

"Hey, when you wanna be a crook, you wanna be a crook," Jaune said as he flew down. He then landed in front of a decrepit building in a slummier-looking part of New Mantle.

'Well, that's not ominous at all.'

"I'm honestly surprised this exists at all. But then again, Robyn and Winter aren't the only ones on the New Mantle Council," Jaune said as he walked into the building. As soon as he stepped onto the floor, the creak made him go on high alert. He listened for footsteps, hoping he wasn't already discovered. He then used magic to try and float above the squeaky floorboards.

'Hear anything?'

"No." Jaune then tapped the wall, listening to the vibrations. "Building seems practically abandoned."

'But you sensed something, right? Try again.'

Jaune began to concentrate. "Basement level."

'So you need to find a way into this creepy apartment building's basement without alerting whoever is in here? Sounds easy enough.'

Jaune searched the entire floor, opening every door he found. All he saw were bathrooms swarming with flies, moldy closets, and trash-filled bedrooms. "I'm DEFINITELY letting Robyn know about this building. Jurisdictions be damned."

'Please. This is disgusting, and I know she would be FURIOUS.'

"That's our Hill. Still, how am I supposed to get down? There isn't even a cellar door in the alley behind the building."

'They had to have gotten down somehow.'

"Well, I'd love to know how," Jaune said as he stepped back onto the ground. "Hm?" Jaune looked down and tapped his foot on the ground.

'Found something?'

"It's hollow." Jaune then knelt down and tapped on the floor. He then knocked, looking for something. He saw it when one of his knocks pressed the floorboards down. He then grew a claw and pulled the boards up to see a stairway.

'Secret passageway. Haven't seen those since that Vale mafia family we took down a few years back.'

"It's honestly nostalgic. Well, shall we hunt?"

'We shall.'

When Nimueh said that Jaune began his descent down the hidden stairs, closing the hidden door behind him.

Jaune walked through the lightless stairway, not missing a step.

'I guess being part Grimm has some uses,' Nimueh said.

"You're telling me. It's as clear as day for me." Jaune then reached the bottom... and stepped on a trap.

He bent back to avoid spikes before jumping away to avoid ceiling spikes. "Mm, retro."

'Booby traps. Well, can't go wrong with the classics, I suppose.'

"Hopefully, there won't be too many. It would get annoying quick."

Jaune explored the basement level, which was much larger than he thought it would be. It was an entire labyrinth. He found rooms full of booze, rooms full of weapons, rooms full of Dust, and of course, rooms of goons. Most of them were playing poker or cleaning their weapons in a dimly lit room when Jaune walked it. They were easy to deal with, Jaune not needing to use his powers at all. Though, when there was a good number of them, he charged Nimueh with enough Aura for her to materialize and help him beat up the crooks.

"Jaune, look. Seems one of these guys liked to take notes."

He walked over to Nimueh and read the book over her shoulder.

"You could have just asked me for the book, you know," she said as she glanced back at him.

"This is more comfortable."

"You just wanted an excuse to hug me from behind, didn't you," she said more than asked, already knowing the answer.

Jaune then hugged the beauty from behind. "I regret nothing."

Nimueh sighed. "Here we are in enemy territory, yet you're still finding time to flirt with your fiancée."

"Is that a problem?"

Nimueh smirked. "No. Though, it did help me realize that I don't really like the sound of fiancée. Let's legalize everything when we get back to base, alright?"

"Winter can arrange that." Jaune then read the notes, his brow furrowing. "Speaking of Winter."

"An assassination plot? Against her? These men are either really brave, really arrogant, really stupid, or a combination of all three."

"Combination. We saw their weapons. Nothing they have would be enough to beat her."

"Think they have something else up their sleeve?"

"Well, we didn't explore the entire basement. Maybe they have some toys we haven't seen yet."

"Well, then..." Nimueh reverted back into a sword and flew into her sheath on Jaune's hip. 'Shall we?'

"Let's go."

Jaune continued to explore the basement, finding a few useful items, such as more notes and documents.

"Wait, this looks like some of Dante's blueprints."

'It even has his initials.'

Jaune sighed. "He may be a genius, but he always was a messy fool."

'His office is more paper than the actual floor. Even when you first met him, he was buried under his own documents.'

"A guy like that would be easy to rob. Even his lesser inventions are brilliant. This is a blueprint for a rifle that would see kilometers away. Wait... this is an upgrade for Crescent Rose!"

'Oooh. . . Wanna burn it?'

"Why would I want to burn an upgrade for Ruby's wea... Really, Nim?"

'What? She sticks her nose into family business too often. I swear she's getting too close to Arie.'

"She's his mother."

'I'M his mother.'

"No. You're his mom. There's a difference."

'Let me guess: mother for birth, mom for raise?'

"That's how I see it," Jaune said as he neatly folded and pocketed the document.

'Meh. I like it. I don't mind being mom.'

"I wonder how many other useful documents they stole from Dante. . . and who the thief is, to begin with."

'I'm sure we'll find out if we keep looking.'

"True."

Jaune explored the basement once more, avoiding traps and beating up crooks. "Hm? This guy has some papers on him." Jaune then took it out. "This is Maria's handwriting."

'What is it?'

". . . An explanation as to why she was so angry that day."

'That day? Oh, the day she basically bit your head off? I thought she was on her period,' Nimueh snickered.

"Nice," Jaune went as he looked at his fiancée with an unimpressed look. He then read the document. "Wow. Robyn would have drooled over this. New Mantle's walls would have made Atlas look like it was made of paper mâché. It looks like it could also make some pretty tough armor."

'Armor? Well, guess that explains why these thieves would want this, but these guys weren't so tough.'

"Nim, it's us."

'Yeah, but still.'

"Well, actually, you make a good point. Even I should have trouble breaking through defenses like this. . . But then again, Maria was the one who thought of this. She's one of Mantle's most brilliant scientists today. Even an eccentric genius like Dante praises her."

'You're saying her blueprints are too advanced for these guys to copy?'

"Exactly. Dante's upgrade for Crescent Rose also looks pretty high-tech, as well as expensive. No way these crooks could implement them. . . But they could sell them."

'Oh, can't have that.'

"No way. We need to take out all the bandits in this place and call Winter immediately. Have her men pick this place clean. Maybe tell Robyn about it, too."

'But this isn't her jurisdiction.'

"After what we found, that might change."

'Good point. Now then, shall we search?'

"We shall."

Jaune actually fell victim to a few traps, which surprised the man. One of them involved Ice Dust freezing him completely, but he was able to break out of it. He found out he was resistant to electricity after getting blasted by a wave of Lightning Dust, and only being stunned for a minute or two.

"These traps are getting more advanced."

'Guess we're getting closer to the big surprise.'

"I'm certainly ready for this to be over."

Jaune then heard voices. They were having a conversation. Jaune hid in the shadows and behind some objects, listening in.

"We've got enough documents to get a crap ton of lien!"

"We could just take this crap and leave without taking out Schnee."

"But we could get even more lien outta killin' her. We got enough toys thanks to the Prof."

'Prof,' Jaune thought.

"Toys nothin'. If we're gonna kill the bitch, we gotta be sneaky. All ninja assassin-type shit, ya know? Ain't that right, Poppin?"

"Yes, yes. It's easier to kill a sleeping giant than an alert one."

'A woman. Hm, she sounds a bit like Neo,' Jaune thought.

'But younger. Sounds pretty young. Teenager, maybe,' Nimueh thought.

"So, Poppin, how does it feel to know that you're going to be the next Winter Maiden?"

"I'm not very much looking forward to it. I'm not that fond of the cold. I prefer spring and autumn time. Like back home in Vale."

'She's not from New Mantle. Must be a traveling merc.'

'Like your dear Neo?'

'Nim, you know it's not like that between us anymore.'

'Hmph.'

"So how are we supposed to get to the Ice Bitch?" Jaune's eyebrow twitched. "She spends most of her time in that tower, right?"

"She also goes to that mansion of hers to see that hag mom of hers."

'Willow is still beautiful, you prick.'

'Jauney?' Jaune shuttered. 'What was that?'

'Uh...'

'I get that we... enjoyed ourselves with her that one time, but that was a one-time fling, remember?'

'Hey, you did more to her than even I did.'

'Don't throw this back onto me!'

"She likes to spend the night in that mansion, or so I've surmised," the woman went. "The Schnee Manor has significantly less security than Atlas Tower. Killing Mrs. Schnee in there should be much easier."

"Then we got ourselves a plan."

"Do we? What if Arc shows up?"

"Arc?"

"The Vale Knight. He's in New Mantle, remember? And he's got new freakin' superpowers. He can CONTROL Grimm now!"

"Mostly because he himself is now a Grimm," the woman said.

One of the men chuckled. "Oh, don't worry. I gotta surprise for the hero."

"And what about that sword of his? The one who turns into a bitch whenever he needs to fuck?"

Jaune gripped his hand hard enough to draw blood, ready to just burst out and destroy these idiots.

'Down boy,' went an obviously pissed off Nimueh. 'I wanna hear how these idiots plan on beating me.'

"I think those New Mantle pricks were actually planning on taking her out." Jaune looked shocked. "This thing is basically designed to take her down."

"A vacuum cleaner? Ya gonna suck her pussy dry and make her less fuckable for Arc?"

'Can I kill them now,' Jaune asked.

'As much as I wanna say yes, you need to wait.'

"Something like that."

"Whoa! Why the hell are you pointing that at-" The machine was activated. When it was turned off the man was groaning. "You... You took my Aura."

"That's what this baby does. And since the whore is made of Arc's Aura, point this at her and she'll be a hunk of metal in a few secs. Plus, it'll work on Arc himself. Without Aura, I bet we can take him."

"I doubt it," the woman giggled. "He's the strongest man in the world. Did you forget that he bested the Onigashima Clan's leader after his men shattered his Aura? Left him with some nasty scars, but he was still victorious."

"But now he's a Grimm." Something being opened was heard.

"Ooooh, hell yeah. Silver Dust!"

'Seriously? First in the cave and now in this basement? Does every crook have that stuff now? Expensive my ass, Dante.'

"Still think we can't take on Arc, Mary?"

"Mm, well, it seems you gentlemen have everything all planned out. Right then. I suppose I'll take my leave. I need to freshen up in the lou, anyway."

"Need some company, sweetheart?" Jaune couldn't see, but if he saw the woman now known as Mary walk off, he would have seen her flip the man off. "She wants me."

"As much as I wanna kill Schnee."

"Still bitchin' about how she fired your ass?"

"I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ACE OP BY NOW! BUT THAT BITCH CANNED ME!"

"Yeah, for flirting with Maria," the guy laughed.

"You smack a bitch on the ass one time. Even said I was stealin'."

"Ain't that how we got the docs?"

"Who gives a damn. I'm gettin' payback."

'Oh, Winter is going to have a field day with that asshole,' Jaune thought.

'Uh, Jauney?'

'Hm?' Jaune looked up to see a large man looking down at him. "Oh."

A loud scuffle was heard. Moments later, the large man was sent flying through a wall before slamming on a table in front of the crooks.

"THE HELL?!"

"Whoops." They looked up to see Jaune walk through the hole. "Was hoping I'd stealth my way into beating you idiots."

"IT'S ARC!"

One of the guys grabbed the vacuum while the other hit a button on the wall. An alarm blared. Moments later, armed thugs, New Mantle drones, and some New Mantle Knights entered the room.

"Didn't think I'd get to use this baby on you so soon, Arc."

"I've been looking forward to this," one thug said as he loaded his gun with Silver Dust.

"Well, this looks fun," Jaune said as he drew Nimueh. He then charged her, making her materialize.

One of the thugs wolf-whistled when she appeared, the beauty looking annoyed. She then popped her neck. "Now then," she began as she cracked her knuckles. "Which one of you ugly fucks called me a bitch and a whore?"

A thug was actually sent flying out of the roof of the apartment building. It's a damned miracle he survived.

Jaune punched a Knight with such force that his fist went right through its head. He then used it as a shield against a Drone before ripping off an arm and using it as a dart against the flying bot. Nimueh was actually using the head of a Knight like a soccer ball before kicking through three drones.

A thug tried to hit her from behind with an iron bar, only for it to bend completely against her head. She turned toward the guy with a bored look. "Really?"

"Uh..."

Nimueh then punched the guy in the face, sending him crashing through who knows how many walls.

Jaune was now back-to-back with Nimueh. "This is honestly kinda boring."

"Yeah. We're unfairly strong compared to these guys. I feel like a cat messing with a newborn mouse."

"Dark yet accurate analogy. You wanna handle the rest, or should I?"

"DON'T GET COCKY, ARC!" Jaune looked towards the yell in time to both hear a gunshot and catch the bullet with his barehand. "Now can I get cocky," he asked with a smug smirk.

Then, BOOM.

"AAARGH," Jaune roared as he looked at his now smoking palm. "What the-" he went as he struggled to stay on his feet.

"JAUNE," Nimueh yelled in concern.

"Let your guard down, bitch."

Nimueh then screamed before she began to glow. Moments later, she was back to being a Relic, falling to the ground. Behind her was one of the thugs holding the Aura Vacuum. "Holy shit. It worked," he laughed.

"Nimueh," Jaune panted before growling at the man holding the device.

"Whoa now, Arcy. This baby does more than suck out Aura," he said as he aimed the device at Jaune.

As Jaune got up, the man blasted Jaune through the walls with a laser from the device.

"WHOO! How does it feel to be blasted by your own Aura, hero?!"

Jaune groaned as he got up, seeing his Aura shattered. "My Aura's depleted?! How?!"

"I guess that's one hell of a one-two punch for you." Jaune looked up to see the man walk up with the Vacuum. "Silver Dust bullet and being blasted with the world's most powerful Aura Weapon. Now, be a good Huntsman and die so I can collect your bounty." Jaune jumped out of the way as soon as the man fired.

The man laughed. "So we playing hide and seek now? Alright. I'm game." The man walked towards the shadowed corridor. "Oh, wait. What's this?" The vacuum then emitted a bright light that shined right in Jaune's face, catching him off guard. "Gottcha."

BLAST

"OOH! AND THROUGH ANOTHER WALL HE GOES!" The man heard coughing and laughed. "That sounded kinda wet, Arc. Did that make you bleed, hero? I hope it did."

The man walked through the wall. "Oh, Jauney. Come out, come out, wherever you are," the man laughed. When the man heard rustling behind him, he shot at it, not even caring he missed.

He laughed. "You have no idea how good this feels, hero! The big bad Vale Knight, runnin' away from a low tier crook like me. You know, even before you became the Grimm's new Head Honcho, guys like me always saw you as a damned boogeyman. Huntresses like Flame Goddess Yang or Silver Eyed Ruby? They mostly went after the big game. The big Grimm or the bad family head. But you? You went after everyone and everything. From an infestation of Sulfur Fish to a pod of Leviathans. From all the way to a big Don boss to a little guy like me."

"Is that why you crooks feared me?" The thug shot in the direction of Jaune's voice. "Why of all the Huntsmen in the world, you tell ghost stories about me?"

He shot again. "You kept gettin' in our way, hero! Every time there's a successful robbery, you ruin ten more! We take a giant leap forward, and you slash us two massive leaps back! And it seems like every time we get a leg up against you, you get stronger! But not anymore! We finally have the stuff needed to hurt you! Silver Dust and this bad bitch here!"

"You really think that's enough to beat me?"

The man shot in the direction. "Get enough goons and make enough of these, then hell yeah. Drain that monstrous Aura of yours then blast you with your own power. Even if that doesn't work, we blast you with Silver Dust."

"The most expensive Dust in the world."

"IT'S WORTH IT IF IT MEANS KILLING YOU," the man roared as he aimed and pulled the trigger. "Eh?" He pulled the trigger again. Then again. Then three times in a row. "W-What's wrong with this thing?!"

"Isn't it obvious?" The man shuttered before turning around. When he just saw a chest, he looked up towards Jaune towering over him. "You're out of Aura."

"Oooh... Fuck."

POW

The other thug was trying to lift the Sword of Destruction but wasn't able to so much as get the hilt off of the ground. "Damn thing weighs a ton! How can he swing this thing around like it's made of paper?"

"Quite easily." The man jumped and looked at Jaune, the Aura Vacuum in one hand, the thug with a swollen face in the other. "You just have to be strong, have a lot of Aura, and make sure she actually likes you."

The man drew a gun. "Back off, freak! I've got plenty of Silver Dust in this thing. Without your Aura, I'm sure this will burn you to a crisp or turn you into the world's most realistic statue, Grimm."

Jaune glared at the man before tossing the vacuum and the thug away. "Go ahead. Give me an excuse to bash your brains in."

The man chuckled as he cocked his gun. "Not even you are faster than a bullet, hero."

"Care to test that theory," Jaune said as he crouched down in a running stance.

The two stared at each other, waiting for the first move.

Then, the door behind the man opened.

Out of it walked a beautiful young woman with... half red hair and half brown hair. When she looked up, Jaune saw that she had two different colored eyes, one green and one pink. The fair-skinned beauty then looked around and hummed. "Deary me oh my, you lot seemed to have had quite the tea party in here without me."

"There you are, you ugly bitch!"

'Ugly,' Jaune thought with a confused raised eyebrow. 'The hell kind of taste does that guy have in women?'

"Help me take Arc out."

The girl looked at the thug before looking around. "It is just the two of us?"

"What does it look like, you jaggy-toothed whore?!"

Jaune looked at the man like he was crazy. Jaune saw her teeth as she spoke. They were perfectly straight, as well as pearl white. Why was this lunatic insulting a young woman with such natural beauty?

"So just to be sure, it's just you, me, and Mr. Arc?"

"You need your eyes checked? Or is that unibrow messing with your sight somehow?!"

"Are you on drugs," Jaune asked.

"FUCK YOU! Help me take this guy out, Poppins!"

"Well, now that I know it's just us three..." The woman swung her arm, a long staff coming out of her sleeve. She then spun the long walking stick with a smile, the thug chuckling as Jaune got in a stance.

Then... the girl swung her staff upward, smacking the man right in the chin. She then tripped him, making him fall on his back. As he groaned, he looked to see the girl looking down at him with a smile before she stomped on his face, knocking him out.

"There. Much better." She then smiled at Jaune. "Wouldn't you agree?"

Jaune blinked. "What just happened?"
