Sparring Time! Part Two!

"Both huntsmen in position! Begin! " Miss Goodwitch shouted
Whoopty frikin doo, here we go! Jaune's inner voice told him to steady his guard.
"Here I come Jauney boy! " Cardin laughed menacingly as he raised his mace into the air and swung down.
Jaune stepped back with his hands in his pockets, not sure what to make of the strike.
This guy IS a huntsman in training right? His stikes are so...Unrefined... Jaune wondered that if this, Cardin Winchester, got into Beacon... Then even if he HAD to take the fake transcript idea, there wouldn't have been a cinch if this is the type of huntsmen they had here!
"Quit dodging you pansy! " Cardin roared as he again charged toward Jaune with his mace.
He tried to hit Jaune with a horizontal sweep to the midsection.
Jaune sighed, being forced to hold back was a massive pain on him. But he couldn't just stand there and make his team look bad.
Jaune brought forth his spear to parry the strike and in one fluid motion, he hit Cardin with the back of the spear.
This took a small chip off of Cardin's aura
A bit more resilient then I thought... tch Jaune thought.
Clutching his stomach, Cardin growled "You'll pay for that Arc! "
"Oh please, just try" Jaune said as he gave out a cocky grin
Thorin taught you to never underestimate your opponent a logical part of his brain thought.
Well, yeah but I'm riling him up so that he makes a mistake the other one thought
"Grrrr you asked for it Arc! " Cardin jumped high and brought down his mace toward Jaune, who sidestepped as he parried the hit and twirled the War Pike so that Cardin would get hit on the side.
With a yelp, Cardin was thrown to the side, and while he was still in the air Jaune moved to pin him.
To Jaune and the whole class' surprise, Cardin used his mace's built in mini cannon's recoil to prop himself back up and used the force, from said blast, to hit Jaune.
Of course Jaune was able to read it and ducked, dodging Cardin's strike.
"Heh, not bad, and here I thought you were all air" Jaune mocked Cardin
Cardin's face morphed into one of rage and he pointed his mace toward Jaune.
"Hah! Eat this! " Cardin shouted in anger as he shot Jaune with what appeared to be a Fire dust-imbued shell
The shell hit Jaune and there was dark smoke that surrounded Jaune's perimeter team RWBY were wide-eyed and team JNPR looked on, they had full confidence that their fearless leader is unscathed.
"Ha! Not big of a mouth now, huh Arc? " Cardin jeered at the smoke
"Cardin, if you honestly thought that'd knock me down, you're delusional" The Slayer retorted
Jaune was standing there, shield up, using his ancestral blade, Corcea Mors.
Jaune had deployed Corcea more the moment Cardin pointed the tip of the mace at him.
"Hey! That's cheating! " Cardin shouted to Miss Goodwitch
"I assure you, it is not Mister Winchester, that, is Jaune's ability" Miss Goodwitch intervened
"Well, it's not like that's gonna change anything" Cardin shouted as he got close to Jaune.
Oh you're approaching me Jaune thought
Cardin used his signature move 'Bring down mace toward enemy really hard'
Cardin shouted as he brought it down too.
Does this guy think shouting will add more power? Jaune was reminded of an anime he watched once.
Jaune sighed "You have to try better then that Cardin"
Jaune used his shield to redirect the mace downward to his left side, and used the momentum as he pivoted with his right foot to bring his sword down on Cardin's left side.
This threw Cardin a few feet away but this time Jaune wasted no time. Cardin's Aura was already nearly at yellow level and Jaune was still nearly full.
"Go Jaune! You can do it" Pyrrha shouted
"YEAH GO FEARLESS LEADER!!! " Nora shouted as Ren, again, apologized to their fellow students for the noise his partner was making.
Jaune brought out his Hammer and used it to uppercut Cardin into the air instantly bringing Cardin's aura down to yellow. Jaune then changed it to his chain blades and slashed at Cardin a few times as he was in the air. This brought down Cardin's aura to orange.
Lastly, as gravity was suddenly pulling Cardin down Jaune transformed the chain blades into an Axe, hitting Cardin in the air. Jaune then leapt to the Axe and slashed downward to send Cardin into the floor.
This last action finally brought Cardin's aura down to red, thus ending the fight.
The whole class erupted into applause. Jaune showed them the way of fighting for a Slayer, which was to stagger an enraged opponent and combo them until their demise.
This, to the huntsmen to be, was amazing. Jaune however waved it off and just smiled.
Cardin started standing up from the ground and dusting himself off. Jaune went over to Cardin to shake his hand.
Not surprising anyone, Cardin gave him a glare that'd make even Weiss proud and refused to shake his hand.
Sore loser huh? Jaune thought, he probably shouldn't have made the fight a spectacle. But that was his way of fighting so... sue him
"Mister Arc, the way you fight is amazing, I believe you might be one of the strongest first years! Just focus on the battle more next time and don't let your guard down" Miss Goodwitch told him, she was in honest awe. This... this boy could most likely go toe-to-toe with a few third years, at the same time! It was unbelievable!
"Thanks miss Goodwitch" Jaune gave a smile and headed back to his seat.
"And Mister Winchester, please, work on your movements. They were too telegraphed, so much so that Mister Arc was able to read you like a book, and work on that temper of yours, you also shouldn't judge your opponent by how they look! "
"Understood Miss Goodwitch" Cardin growled Stupid cheating Arc...
-oOoOoOoOo-
"Jauney that was awesome! The way you fwooshed him up into the air and-" Nora was complimenting him as they were headed to their next class, which was history.
"Thanks Nora, it really wasn't anything special, some other people couldve fought him more efficiently" Jaune thanked Nora
"Well, I believe you were plenty efficient yourself Jaune" Pyrrha followed up after Nora's compliment with a light giggle and smile
"Thanks Pyr" Jaune thanked her with a light pink on his face, who wouldn't like it if a beautiful girl complimented you?
Pyrrha also blushed a little and looked down.
"Pyrrha what's wrong? " Jaune asked her worriedly
"-nickname" Pyrrha mumbled something
"Oh... uhm should I not have called you 'Pyr'? " Jaune asked stupid! stupid! stupid! stupid!
"NO! It's fine, Jaune. You can call me 'Pyr' I'm not mad" she told Jaune
Huh... weird Jaune thought, but he was relieved that she wasn't mad "Ok... welp the classroom is that way" Jaune led his team to their history class.
They entered the room to find a green haired man who seemed to be... vibrating? the hell? Jaune was bewildered by this man.
"Welcome! Welcome! Please take a seat and wait for the other students! " the man told them
This was Professor Bartholomew Oobleck, wait no, sorry Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck.
As students entered the room, Doctor Oobleck started talking to the students.
And soon enough, the class started, and Oobleck started teaching about the faunus war, specifically the great blunder of General Lagune, which was the battle at Fort Castle.
Jaune was taking notes, his mom and dad taught him history, so this was not new to him.
"-Can someone in the class explain why General Lagune failed? " asked the caffeine-addicted professor as he scanned around the room.
Jaune was taking notes still because the professor was too fast at discussing.
"Mister Arc! If you please" the Professor pointed at Jaune.
Shoot Jaune thought, he knew the answer to this but he was writing. So instead of pulling out the answer immediately like he would've, he had a mental block.
The professor looked at Jaune with expectation and Jaune... just stood there, thinking of what the answer might be.
"Ha! From what I know it's easier to train an animal than a person so... " Cardin snickered as he blatantly insulted faunus.
"Mister Winchester! I will not have blatant racism in this class! You will have detention with me after classes" Oobleck stated, it really did rile him up when the faunus were insulted.
Jaune then remembered "Well, if I could have a minute to think, unlike narrow minded people-" he said as he glared at Cardin
"I know the answer, and it's night vision"
"Very good mister Arc! Can someone give more depth to mister Arc's answer?"
Pyrrha raised her hand "Faunus are said to have nearly perfect vision in the dark, General Lagune was petty and small-minded, which caused him to order an attack on the opposing faunus under the cover of night. The decision cost them the Fort and eventually lost them the war"
"Perfect miss Nikos! Unfortunately that's all the time we have. Mister Winchester, meet me after class" Oobleck bid the class goodbye
Cardin glared at Pyrrha and Jaune
He's cookin somethin up that's nasty, I can feel it Jaune thought.
