The next day in a training match Jaune had his sword and shield fighting cardin he was ducking and avoiding his mace swings easily he wasn't even blocking. He had great reflexes growing up in the ghost zone. At with point he decide to give the guy a handicap and put his sword away to go just shield.

Cardin growled and turned his mace's fust on making it cover in fire as he swung it at the shield as he said, "Take me seriously Arc!"

Jaune blocked it making the shield spark with green lighting with traveled to the mace and Into cardin's armor making him back away while being shocked and held his head. Jaune watched as he commented, "that's the thing Cardin you are just swinging a stick around trying to smash something not that serious of a threat your like a toddler throwing a fit!"

Everyone was laughing commenting on " baby cardin is angry!" While Cardin was growling Yang rolled her eyes While Jaune was right even if Cardin had more skills he won't be able to land a blow on Jaune. She also so was the only other one who know that spark was ghost powers not dust. Well Nora would probably comment on that as such but she knew for sure.

Cardin growled swinging his mace with both hands at air sending a fireball out. Jaune raised his shield and it's hard light sides came out as it glow blue upon impact the fireball turned into steam. Most would think ice dust but like Nora was yelling, "the cold unalive one use his coldness again!"

Jaune charged getting in close and using his shield to knock the mace out of cardin's hand where Jaune grabbed it and hit cardin's left side with it knocking him away. After words he throw the mace at him landing a blow to the gut.

Cardin groaned in pain as Goodwitch said, "And Cardin's aura is in the red Well done mister arc! But I don't like such bad sportsmen ship!"

The blonde student said, "our job is to hunt town grimm and possible human criminals who the police are no match for! Why the hell would we need good sportsmen ship?"

Goodwitch growled as use used her crop to adjust her glasses Jaune arc he was always prone in class to ask questions leading to discussions that would normally not happen like how long it takes for a grimm to be able to think, and differently each type think as showed by their hunting strategies, and now the port of sportsmenship. He wasn't wrong and he was one of the few who want to learn making him the favorite student of Oobleck and ports, But She was a teacher she hated being questioned so she did not care for the lad. " Mr arc while you make a point and I hate to admit it, this isn't a fight between grimm or a criminal on the run it's a fellow student and someone you may have to fight along side of someday to not end up dead!"

Jaune chuckled as his eyes flashed green, eyes changing colors was a common thing here but as they changed he said, "why would I fear death? It comes to us all? Being scared of that is like being scared of needing a haircut or a bath. It's unavoidable and we need to do it sooner or later!"

the teacher took a step back at the reply She knew Jaune arc was creepy despite his happy friendly outword nature but when he spoke of death or the idea of an afterlife his eyes would change like his true self hiding was coming out. She had heard it but never saw it till this moment in person. She gulped eyes widened pale. As he just walked away like he said nothing. He was a strange boy almost as strange as this rumors of a ghost boy haunting the school.

the bell rung and Ruby comment, "And Jaune was creepy again!" she said pale as she heard his reply it stunned most of the class every time! While some could write it off as being ready to pay the price for being a huntsmen she still couldn't shake it as weird that his outlook was death was only a start. It worried her, mostly as her older sister was dating him!

Weiss blinked as she crossed her arms, "that is a creepy son of a bitch! No offense to his mother!"

Blake nodded her ears up straight, "he talks like he seen what comes after death with his own eyes and don't say it nora there is no way he's a ghost that would be crazy!"

Pyrrha then rubbed the back of her head and said, "But he is creepy odd and yang seems to know a lot more then she let's on as well like I for one work with enough dust to know something is off every time he would use fire dust or lighting dust it comes out Green not fire and lighting!"

Weiss then rolled her eyes and said, "Weiss gauntlets do the same thing she said Jaune gave her something to add to her dust and showed me a round I studied it yes it's just a dust additive. More common then you think to get it to burn with less being used but unlike a normal one this makes the same amount of dust burn twice as long and with a slight raise in normal power. I can't figure out what it is! All she said was talk to Jaune and he said talk to his dad or grandpa! So what ever it is it's an arc family secret he only feels like sharing with Yang!"

Nora some how had a bed sheet over her and said, "boo mother fuckers! The writing is on the wall!"

Ren then blinked and said, "I hate to agree with nora on this but she makes a point ghostly activity and strange happenings happened when Jaune arrived in vale! Their has to be a link between them!" he said some how still sounding like he was remaining calm despite the topic at hand.

later on while collecting sap form forever fall team Cardin where loading a jar of it in to a sling shot and firing it!

As it came towards jaune he saw it and just phased through the tree so it hit that, they were to far away to see him so they would just think they missed and he went back to doing what he was doing happily.

unknown to him Pyrrha had seen it behind a tree jaw dropping as was Ren and Nora was smiling pumping air fists at being right.

as the blonde walked away out of ear shot Nora said, "I knew he was the ghost Renny walking through walls doesn't get much more clearer!"

Ren blinked as she said, "ghost don't age Nora he could be possessed by the ghost child! That can work!"

Pyrrha blinked as she said, "yeah…. Let's go look up how to get a ghost to leave a host! Before it spreads!" she said in panic.

That night when Jaune walked in he jumped as Nora jumped out holding a charm the jump scared him not the charm he grabbed it, it was made perfect if he was overshadowing someone he would have been forced out but luckily he couldn't jump out of his own skin, "yeah nice charm would have worked if I was over shadowed I mean possessed but I am not!" he said back tracking.

Ren held his chin as the three huddled as he whispered, "do we just confront him?"

Pyrrha gulped, "No we need to catch him red handed he could lie and say we are seeing things I know that old theme park it has a mirror maze that's perfect to get him to do it again In front of us!"

jaune then crossed his arms and said, "you know I can hear you right?"

Nora then point at him, "perfect we won't have to think of a reason to get you their!"

Later on while stepping in Jaune's ghost sense went off and he drew his weapon out of reflect he didn't go ghost as he had others around.

but he saw four intact mirrors as the broken ones repaired and each mirror reflected only one of them but then those reflections stepped out as the door slammed and they seemed to change to the middle of a maze.

the reflections had paler colors pure red eyes and a ghostly glow taking aim with weapons as Nora screamed, "HE IS GOING OT MAKE US KILL OURSELVES!"

Jaune looked to his copy looking it in the eye with ecto sight, "this isn't me!" he also saw this double didn't have the ecto energy to even fire a blast it was scaled to how he would be if he was human.

he ducked to avoid a sword swing as more ghost reflections came out spelling out his problem! Can the four of them beat their reflections with out him going ghost.

As if he went ghost they would have stronger enemies and he knew the clones where probably weaker then the original needing numbers, so if he went ghost he would need to use the wail to destroy the place!

As Pyrrha was in a mirror match before screaming as more of her showed up Jaune knew one thing for sure. This was going to suck!
