Classes and roles

"Monsters, Demons, prowlers of the night! Grimm have many names but I refer to them as-" Professor Port started his class
Ughhh I'd rather hunt and Embermane or something, this is too much... Jaune sighed. It was early in the morning and Jaune was honestly excited. Until the professor opened his mouth, even Pyrrha who was apparently a girl who liked listening to class...
Was sitting there with half-lidded eyes, but still writing on her notebook
"Uh Pyrrha you holdin up?" Jaune asked
This shook Pyrrha's sleepiness a bit and she smiled politely "Yes Jaune? "
"You look like you need a nap, I'll take the notes for you if you want" Jaune offered
Pyrrha yawned "It's ok Jaune, I can handle this"
"If you say so" Jaune then decided that it was also a good idea to take notes to get his mind off things.
Jeez mom taught me about boarbatusks like as the most basic grimm ever, everyone here should know this! Jaune inwardly screamed as he was still taking down notes, if Pyrrha decided that sleeping is ok, then she wouldn't have to get a grimm encyclopedia of some sort after.
An extremely light thud could be heard as Pyrrha finally succumbed to sleep and decided she can read the rest later.
She was using her arms as a pillow and was facing Jaune.
Wow... I really am lucky that I have a partner like her.
Jaune looked upon Pyrrha's sleeping figure. The champion's hair was tied in a pony tail but it was slightly sprawled behind her, giving Jaune a clear sight of her face.
Slightly curled eyelashes, naturally rosy cheeks and dainty lips, hell, she was gorgeous!
Jaune, Focus on the note taking! You'll looklike a stalker! Jaune commanded himself.
"blah blah-Must be well educated and wise! Who among you believes themselves to be an embodiment of those traits?" Port asked the class
This is interesting...Jaune was desperate for something else
Weiss raised her hand
"Perfect! Miss Schnee, step forward and face your opponent" Port gestured toward a caged beast.
Please be a grimm please be a grimm Jaune thought since he didn't want to see any of those bats from the Boreus all the way from Atlas.
Luckily it was just a Boarbatusk, which was apparantly an easy kill for huntsmen.
"Go Weiss! " Ruby shouted
Weiss looked irritated and ignored her team, Uh oh that's a biiiig no-no in teamplay Jaune thought as he remembered his early days with Thorin, and how he saw people ignore tips from their team, and how they regretted those decisions.
The fight was good, Weiss used her gravity dust to avoid the boarbatusk rush, though she couldn't Pierce the armor plating of said boarbatusk.
Go for the belly! Jaune thought
"Go for the belly Weiss! It's the weakspot" Ruby shouted
Good advice Jaune was perplexed however as Weiss shot Ruby an angry look, however after using a barrier to make the boarbatusk hit and flip over. And using gravity dust to propel herself to stab the stomach of the beast, Weiss killed the beast.
"It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true huntsman, which reminds me of that time I-" Port continued
NOOOOOOOOOOO GOD PLEASE NO!
Aaaaaand Pyrrha isn't awake still... how!?Jaune was left amazed at this feat, but he saw that instead of thanking Ruby for the tip earlier, Weiss shot Ruby a glare and proceeded to listen to the lecture
I hope they figure that out soon
After the lesson
Ughhhh my head is killing me...Jaune had a headache from writing what appears to be 5 pages full of 'How cabbages can be used to kill a Nevermore'
A cute yawn could be heard as Pyrrha arose from her nap.
"Morning sleeping beauty" Jaune told herSeriously? Sleeping beauty?Come on brain...
She'll probably think I'm a creep or an idiot or something ...
Instead a light pink hue could be seen on Pyrrha's face as she asked "O-oh, the lesson is done? "
"Yep, we'll be heading over to the sparring rooms for Miss Goodwitch's class"
"O-okay" they both got up and started walking to the sparring rooms.
The walk was mostly uneventful... Until they caught up with Nora and Ren. Nora kept talking about how sloths are the most apex animal there is.
Ren? Well, he looks like a stone statue just nodding whenever Nora looks up at him.
"Sloths are the greatest! Right Jauney? " Nora looked toward Jaune
"Y-yeah, they sure are" Jaune said with a crooked smile
A quiet giggle came from Pyrrha but Jaune chose not to adress it and the proceeded to the sparring rooms.
Luckily, today was just orientation, which was good, because Jaune really didn't want to exert effort, they took a 30 minute orientation about the rules of sparring.
"Awwwww I thought we were going to have practice!" Nora pouted.
Ever since yesterday, she wanted to fight with Jaune to see who had a better hammer. Note to self, don't contest Nora on Magnhild
And after that, was free time for the rest of the day. The following days would be the start of the curriculum. So the team, not having anything to do went on their day separately. Nora and Ren were going to Vale to check out a new restaurant.
Awww they're going on a date Jaune thought. Just like that, he was stuck in the room with Pyrrha.
"Uhm, Pyrrha, you know how you were sleeping in class earlier? " Jaune asked
Slightly embarassed by this, Pyrrha replied with a polite "Yes"
"Well... I have these notes and I was wondering... Since you were... well since I woke you up so early in the morning, I just thought that you would like to bor-" Jaune didn't even get to finish as Pyrrha interjected.
"Thanks Jaune, it's very kind of you" Jaune handed her his notebook, which he edited a bit as to remove most of the 'I stabbed the beowolf in the eye with a plastic fork!' type moments
And then Pyrrha started writing.
"Jaune... I noticed that there are some stuff in here that aren't in the books they gave us"
"Oh, I added some sprinklings of knowledge I learned from my dad. He knew some extra points like, weaknesses and how to properly handle a situation about the grimm" Jaune told her
"Oh, your dad must be a good teacher"
"Well, my mom taught me almost everything, my dad just taught me the specifics" he sheepishly added
Hours went by as they conversed, partner bonding was great right?
Nora and Ren came back that afternoon, and they decided it would be a good thing to play a game on their scrolls.
Immortal Combat Z huh...Jaune looked at the hyper-violent video-game Nora suggested to play.
Of course Jaune played video games too, and not to brag, he was pretty good.
He beat Nora pretty easily, and after having been accused of cheating Nora used her trump card.
"Renny! Would you care to fight our dear, Fearless leader in a game of Immortal Combat? " Nora asked
"Fine" Ren walked up and took Nora's scroll.
Pyrrha, noticing something brewing went to have a look and see.
Both the boys were furiously mashing buttons, a Dodge here and a feint over there.
Both of them exchanged blow after blow
"Get over here" Jaune's character shouted
Ren was able to Dodge the chain that Jaune's character threw and was able to get a freeze off on Jaune.
Ultimately Ren won, and Jaune being pretty close.
"That was grand! " Pyrrha smiled, happy to see the team bonding happily
"Yeah! Go Ren! " Nora shouted
"Great game Ren" Jaune shook Ren's hand, who was smiling. Ren was happy to have found someone of his equal level in a game.
"Sure was... Fearless leader" Ren replied with a smirk
Jaune laughed with his team,ah this was a great idea.
The next week
The previous week was full of orientations, team bonding and some shenanigans with team RWBY.
Some might include Jaune and Ruby drawing and laughing at each others drawings during professor Port's class, Yang making fun of the fact that Jaune threw up on the airship and a game tournament between team RWBY and JNPR
Weiss was less uptight with Ruby and Blake was starting to open up to the group as a whole, Cheers! Jaune celebrated
Jaune was enjoying his free time right now without his team. He saw Pyrrha training and Nora causing mayhem with Ren to watch over her. He didn't join up with any of them though since he wanted to inspect the Shrike cave they stumbled across durduring the initiation.
He met a few Grimm along the way but eventually he got to the cave.
Yessss jackpot! Jaune entered the cave
He took the free materials off the ground, such as feathers, parts of claws that came off, and of course, Aether orbs that the beast produced.
Specifically Neutral orbs, Jaune had taken about 20 of them and they entered the aether lamp he had.
These orbs help Jaune upgrade his equipment against non-elemental monsters. For some reason, they also work against semblances, which was great for anti-personnel fighting.
Jaune, unsurprisingly didn't have all of his gear maxed out. Jaune noticed that the nest was clear of eggs, which was good, because he couldn't bring himself to murder them.
Jaune walked back to Beacon after collecting materials.
A while later
Jaune got back to the room after an uneventful walk and opened the door... to a Pyrrha who was only wearing a towel!
Pyrrha stared at him like a deer in headlights. And Jaune... well...
Attention! Jaune has stopped working
"IM SO SORRY PYRRHA! " Jaune shouted with a red face as he shut the door.
Pyrrha also went red faced she was also having ahas stopped working moment.
Jaune decided to wait for half an hour as he sat with his back on the door.
The hell, this only happens in like... anime, man...Jaune thought chastising himself, as a treacherous part of his mind thought...You liked what you saw didn't yo-
Shut the hell your mouth! She's my partner, I can't do that to her!
And as he was thinking this the door opened and he fell back.
He looked up to see Pyrrha wearing a simple pink shirt red shorts, which showed off her beautiful legs
THEM THICC- SHUT IT! Jaune blushed
Pyrrha averted her eyes "I'm sorry you saw that Jaune I should've locked the door! "
"Nonononono, I should've knocked, sorry for accidentally peeping... "
You liked it
I did not!
Jaunes thoughts were playing Angel and devil.
This is gonna be an awkward night.Jaune thought as he lay on his bed.
Nora and Ren got back with snacks
"Hey, what's the matter? Why are both of you as red as a tomato? " Nora was stopped by Ren who put a hand on her shoulder
"Nora, it's impolite to ask those questions"
Ren u da man!
The team went to sleep shortly after that, the next morning, it was already not awkward, so... Yay!
But... Sparring practice starts today. Shoot! Jaune thought
