This was a challenge originally posted by TheMAO17 and I thought it would be a fun story to write.

summary: Jaune Ac was a disappointment to his father, so he ran away. Unsure of how to train as a huntsman he decides to do the only workouts he really knew but intensified: 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and running 10k. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And the result is he became the most powerful being in remnant. Too bad everything ends with a single punch now.

By the way there is a bit of a problem for remnant besides the grimm.


Jaune Arc was a failure to his family, or at least to his father. He had been striving to be a huntsman since he was a little kid and had tried to get the training to achieve that, but he was denied every time. The only kind of training or even exercise he did was basic stuff. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and running. It may not seem like much but it did give him the endurance to run away from home. He had overheard his dad talking with the rest of his family about giving up on his training, and on him all together.

The worst part is they all thought the same of him. A lost cause just dragging the family name down into the gutter. The only one who could have possibly object or disagree was his eldest sister Saphron. Only, she had a falling out with their parents. She moved out the second she became of age to live with her girlfriend Terra and they never heard back from her since. It had struck something in the thirteen year-old's mind. His self esteem had already been low enough as it is. And this had done more than break just it.

It left him wanting nothing out of his existence and absolutely nothing to do with his family. Jaune's dream of being a hero had been dowsed by them. So he grabbed what he could and left. Not bothering to leave them any sort of note. Not that he thought they would have cared anyway.

He found himself in some random part of Vale far from his family. Three weeks after his initial departure Jaune was living in an almost empty apartment complex out of the sympathy of the landlord. Apparently he reminded the geezer of an old friend.

Oh well, at least Bang let him stay for free. Just as long as he took care of the place. Apparently the old man lived in a dojo far in the mountains so he couldn't do it himself.

He had even taken to working random odd jobs to pay for food. Almost always going on special sale days to save money, but he needed to search for a permanent job. In the morning he put on a suit given to him by the landlord and left to find any work that would hire someone of his age.

Over the course of the day he had been rejected by several jobs and employers. Even by those he had already been doing odd jobs for. And he had been without even one job from them for at least a week, so at this point he had given up. As he trudged home to his apartment he came across a rather bizarre sight, even for the world of remnant.

Now the world had seen its fair share of trouble before. What with the constant threat of grimm invasion, the white fang turning into a terrorist group, bandits running rampant. But never has there been anything like this in all of the world's history.

The street had been littered with flipped over cars, smashed concrete and people fleeing the scene.

Standing in front of him was the cause of all the damage. A ten foot tall crab-like human, wearing only a pair briefs and for some reason a red bow on one of his eye stalks.

He stopped in front of the mysterious being, looking at the panic he caused as the crab man noticed him as well.

"PUUUKukukuku. Huh, aren't you gonna run too?" Jaune just sighed as the crab continued.

"PUUkuku, I bet you're some prodigy kid working For your parents at a big time place already tired of the work huh?" Jaune just stared. The crab couldn't have been further from the truth.

"I ate so much crab that I managed to transform into this, Crablante! Why aren't you running? Pukukuku." That wasn't how that works.

"Ya gotta death-wish. Is that it? Puukuku."Jaune stopped staring and sighed before he spoke.

"Well, not quite. I'm nothing like a prodigy. In fact I ran away from my old home because they gave up on me and I'm unemployed." Jaune started to delve into his situation.

"Up until now I was looking for a job. I had a few interviews today and got rejected royally each time. Even by people I've already done work for." The crab was the one staring now.

"Right now I couldn't really care about anything. So I'm not in any mood to run, just because some mighty crab guy showed up out of nowhere." Crablante let out another Kuupupupu.

"So, what's gonna happen to me if I don't run?" Jaune looked at the blood stained on his giant claws as he asked. Then he looked in the deranged eyes of the possible killer crab.

"PUUUKUKUKUKU! Your eyes are just as lifeless as mine! So, from one set of dead eyes to another, I'll let you go free!" And with that the crab man began to walk away.

"Besides, right now I'm hunting a different prey!" His eyes took on an enraged look. "That damn Red hooded little brat! When I see her I will tear her arms off!"

And that last outburst the strange crab man stormed off searching for its would be target. Once again Jaune sighed as he walked home from his useless job search. After that ridiculous encounter and being told to get lost he could use some much deserved rest.

As Jaune continued his walk home he began to pass a park. It was one he was quite familiar with, as it's fairly close to his building and he had frequently gone to it for his usual exercise routine. Before he passed the park entirely he noticed something that made his blood stop cold. A little girl just a few years younger than him, playing with a small black and white corgi.

But that wasn't what set off the alarms in Jaune's head. It was the red hooded cape she was wearing. The girl noticed that he was looking at her while she played catch with the dog and smiled at him. Not seeing the haunted look of realization on his face.

"Hi there, do you wanna play too? You look like you need some fun." She offered holding the soccer ball towards him. The girl looked so innocent, and she fit the crab man's description .'A red hooded kid! if that crab guy finds her she is as good as dead!'

"Hey red, did you mess with a big crab guy earlier?" He just had to be sure. There might be a one in a billion chance it was some other kid, identical to the crab's description, very far away from here that pissed him off.

"Hmm? Oh him, He was taking a nap on a bench and I thought he would look funny with a bow." she spoke with such a bashful voice. Well there went that hope. That must be why he was after her. She looked like she was in to frilly things anyway.

'Yep, no doubt that she was the one who did it. I might still be able to help,' There it was. That small part of Jaune that wanted to do something, anything to help. But it was locked away in the back of his mind. Buried under the self doubt and inferiority caused by his family.

'But what the hell can I do? Besides , I'm sure she'll be fine. He might not find her anyway.' Oh well, it wasn't his problem in the first place. And with that he continued on his way to his apartment, thinking that someone else will help the girl. Too bad things wouldn't work out like he thought.

*Stomp* "I FOUND YOU!" Not a second later after he turned to leave the mysterious being showed up at the park. Before the girl or her puppy could react the crab brought down his right claw intending to end her right there.

*Smash* The part of the concrete that received the blow was broken to bits, but the girl wasn't. As she and her dog were tumbling back away from the attack in the blonde's arms.

'What in the hell am I doing!?' Jaune thought after he rushed to get the two out of the way.

"Huh!" Crablante was not pleased at who saved his target. Jaune, already knowing what was about to come, quickly turned to the girl.

"Listen kid! That guy is after your blood! You got to hurry up and get out of here!" The girl could only look at him in shock.

"Huh? What about You?" she looked worried since he was trying to protect her.

"Don't worry about me, just go already!" What was really so hard to understand about 'RUN!'

"B-but, our ball." she pointed to where they had left the ball the two were playing with. Jaune turned to see said ball being popped under the crab's foot.

"Oi Oi! What's the big idea, Blondie! I thought you had no problem with my hunt being as dead eyed as me! Why the hell are you protecting this shitty brat?!" The crab monster looked even angrier. Veins bulging around its eyestalks.

"Oh come on! Are you really going to kill some random girl over a harmless prank!? Just think about this!"

"Why, I've mutilated plenty of people already. And that was before what she did." That explains why the people were running from him earlier. Some people were probably stupid enough to piss him off and he rampaged!

"Any who mock my appearance will get no mercy from me! No exceptions!" The deranged look intensified with each word. Jaune could only grit his teeth at the possibility that he might die trying to stop the crab.

"And besides...!" Now he looked absolutely livid.

"That damn girl tied a bow around one of my eyes! My arms are too big to reach my head anymore, and I can't grab anything with these claws!" Speaking of which he was now pointing at Jaune with one of his claws.

"If you get in my way I'll make sure you can never job hunt again!" The air was completely still and no one made a noise. At least until Jaune did something that angered the crab man even further and made the girl stare at him in shock.

"Pfft."

He was laughing.

"Hehe...HAHahahahha, I just realized, you look exactly like the villain in an old comic I used to read!" That should not have been said.

With one swipe Jaune was sent flying away from the girl and her dog. Thinking quickly he shoved them away before the claw made contact. He crashed into a close by shed smashing through it. With the interference gone Crablante set his eyes on his terrified target.

"DIE!" *Crack* A brick sailed through the wind smashing on impact with the crab's armored head. Unfortunately it only left a couple of scratches and left the brick in pieces. Seems that shell wasn't just for show.

"Hey! If you kill this girl then it will be bad for me, her family, and the city. A horde of Grimm will be attracted to Vale with the influx of negative emotions from those grieving for her. On top of that her death will give me nightmares. So I can't let you do it.'' The crab slowly turned his head to the blonde that emerged from rubble of the shed. Turns out it happened to be housing bricks for repairs to the park.

"You know, when I was little I wanted to be a huntsman. Not some office worker, but a hero who can kill grim and monsters like you with just a single hit!" he removed his jacket and tie. And he wrapped the piece of clothing around his fist.

"SCREW FINDING A JOB! BRING IT ON YOU DAMN MONSTER!" Jaune shouted as he raised his fists.

"JUST DIE ALREADY! WANNABE HERO!" and then they both charged.

Crablante unleashed two devastating jabs. One straight into his abdominal region, and then an uppercut that sent the young blonde flying. Blood was already flowing from his forehead from earlier and more spewed out from his mouth. Jaune was now on the ground coughing up even more blood as he struggled to get to his feet.

"You're worthless! You have no chance against the likes of me!" The crab was cockily walking over to the downed thirteen year old.

The mysterious being raised its right claw for one last blow intending to finish off the blonde. "YOUR LIFE ENDS NOW!"

Within a split second as he brought the claw down Jaune leaped over the incoming attack by putting his hands on the claw to launch himself forward. He hooked his tie around the left eye stalk, right next to the bow. Seeing the frilly clothe as extra grip he grabbed at it with his free hand and pulled both pieces of clothing as hard as he could.

*RRRIIIIIIIIPPP* "GAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The crab man screamed in agony as his left eye was ripped out of his shell. Along with possibly all of his crablike insides. The girl could only hold her puppy and watch in awe as the mysterious being was defeated.

Jaune just stood there breathing hard as he watched the beige oily blood of the crab spurt from the spilled insides. As he stood there the girl turned to him and noticed something about him. He looked different then when she first saw him. His face look real different too, and not just because of the bruises and blood.

What really changed was his eyes. When she saw him walking by his blue eyes held almost no emotion in them whatsoever. But now it looked as if they held a fire, burning with life, and power. She was so focused she almost didn't notice him about to leave.

Now that it was over Jaune started to hobble his way back to his apartment, leaving the girl and her dog behind. Before he left though he heard the girl say something that made him stop.

"Thank you Mister hero!" He turned back and saw her waving at him with her puppy barking in his direction, she was joined by who he assumed was her family. Without a word he turned back to his walk home while waving back at her.

While walking Jaune had a moment to realize exactly what this meant. This whole experience meant two things. One: he had a chance to achieve his dream. And two: that he was still far too weak. He had barely won due to his quick thinking and pure luck. As he was now he'd just get eaten alive.

But if he was still too weak than he just had to get stronger. If he was going to do this he would need to do what he was denied at his old family's home, train. He had to up his training regimen.

He would push himself to his absolute limit. He will do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run 10K. Every. Single. Day!

...

Right after he goes to hospital.
