Jaune's POV.
I really hate Mondays.
That's been a problem of mine ever since I was a kid. Even more so now that I'm a student here at Beacon Academy. Between all of the boring classes, constantly getting my butt kicked in combat class, dealing with a bunch of Faunus hating bullies and piles upon piles of possibly college level homework, it's pretty hard for me to stay sane. It doesn't help that I only got literally five seconds of sleep this month because of a combination of stress, late night training, trying to catch up on late assignments and Nora's ridiculously loud snoring.
I swear I've fallen asleep at least four times today! I'm surprised none of the teachers have called me out for falling asleep in class. Maybe it's because they've given up on helping me improve?
I may never know. All I know is that I've got to at least TRY to stay awake for professor Goodwitch. She's one of the strictest teachers in the academy! If I fall asleep here, I just know she'll dish out some really bad punishment towards me!
"Now class, today we will be having a few mock battles to see where everyone is in terms of skill level. The first match will be Cardin Winchester of CRDL against Jaune Arc of JNPR. Please come down and enter the ring." Goodwitch instructed.
That stupid bully Cardin? Oh man, why does the universe hate me so?! Does it honestly want me to get clobbered by that muscle-bound meat head?! HE'LL GRIND ME UP AND SELL ME AS GROUND BEEF WITH HOW FAR HE TAKES IT IN BATTLE! I mean, if I were in better condition than this I might last longer. BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M SO TIRED I CAN BARELY STAND! YOU KNOW WHAT? F*CK THIS UNIVERSE AND ITS UNJUST HATRED OF ME!
"JAUNE/MISTER ARC!"
Snapping out of my temporary fit of rage, I looked to see the rest of my team along with professor Goodwitch and team RWBY staring at me with wide eyed looks of shock. Which leads to only one logical conclusion.
"I said all that out loud, didn't I?" I asked.
"Yeah. Very loud." answered Blake.
"Uh, sorry about that. I thought those were my inner thoughts." I said whilst having the decency to look sheepish. "Seems my inny became an outy."
"Wow Jaune, I've never seen you so upset before!" exclaimed my partner, Pyrrha.
I just sighed through my nose and massaged my temples in frustration, already feeling a massive migraine coming on. There was also this throbbing feeling behind my eyes from lack of sleep.
"Sorry, guys. I've just had serious trouble sleeping lately. And you can thank all of the extra homework assignments I get plus Nora's snoring for that."
I saw that Nora at least looked somewhat sheepish as she laughed while nervously scratching the back of her head. But for some reason, CRDL looked even more smug than usual and professor Goodwitch looks a bit confused.
"I don't recall any of us giving you such large quantities of school work that would warrant you needing to stay up all hours of the day for a full month. Who exactly gave you this work?" she asked.
Although I can see in her eyes that she has her suspicions, I answer anyway.
"Cardin and his team have been giving me these huge stacks of papers for the past month now. Said something about extra credit work."
Upon hearing that, the professor along with my team and RWBY turned to send no nonsense looks towards Cardin and the others. But why? All they did was give me extra credit homework assignments from the teachers.
"Wait a minute… those were YOUR assignments that I was doing, weren't they?" I demanded.
Cardin just scoffed.
"So what if they were? Doing our work is all you're good for anyway. That and being the overall meat shield." Cardin said.
Okay, that really hurt. I mean I know I'm not the most capable fighter here at Beacon, and granted I wish the others would actually FOLLOW the plans that I come up with instead of just blatantly ignoring them, but does he have to be so insulting?
...Now that I think about it, this time he was being truthful.
But Goodwitch certainly looked pissed as she used her Semblance to levitate Cardin and his goons into the air so they wouldn't get away.
"Mister Winchester, you should know better than to continue these childish charades! Fooling one of your peers into doing your work while making him neglect his health. Disgusting! As punishment, you and your team will have four weeks of detention as well as double the amount of homework assignments. And I expect you all to do them yourselves. Am I clear?" Goodwitch said.
Quite possibly fearing for their lives, the four bullies just nodded so fast I think their heads would've flown off. That's when Goodwitch turned to me. I was a bit scared that I'd be punished for my earlier outburst, even if it was unintentional, but instead something else happened.
"Mister Arc, you are dismissed from the rest of class today. I'll talk to the headmaster about getting you some time off so you can rest, and your team will bring back any assignments you might be given and take detailed notes for you so you won't fall behind."
I was a bit stunned by this, but I'm not gonna look a gift in the horse's mouth. I got up and uttered a quick 'thanks' before walking back to the dorm. A nice long nap sounds heavenly right about now.
"Ah, there you are mister Arc."
I looked up to see professor Ozpin walking over to me, his seemingly bottomless coffee mug in hand. Honestly, it's like the guy runs on caffeine.
"Headmaster. What can I do for you?" I asked, not wanting to tick him off.
"Well, you see Jaune, something recently came in the mail for you and I figured I'd deliver it to you. It's actually something quite remarkable, in terms of craftsmanship and design."
Ozpin reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a small case. I took the case and read the title of what appears to be a video game.
"Dragon Ball Xenoverse? Who sent this?" I asked.
"It was sent here from your mother. She recently got interested in videogame design and created this game with permission from the anime's creators. It's actually a huge hit, and copies have been flying off the shelves faster than a Borbutusk can attack. She told me that the copy she sent you is special. Not sure why, though." Ozpin explained.
Looking at the case, I could definitely feel that there's something different about this game. Oh well, I'll think about that after a nice long nap.
***The Next Day…***
After my team left for classes, I decided to try out the game my mom designed. Hopefully, it's nothing like those books she writes. I popped the disk into the Dust-Station game system and got ready to play. So far, I had to fight against some odd characters as a guy called Goku and I was having a bit of a hard time since I don't know which buttons do what yet. Thankfully, the difficulty was on easy for this part. But after that, a strange intro started.
"History is… changing?"
"The flow of time… something's very odd about it. At this rate… history…"
At the end of the intro, a red crystal showing Goku appeared.
"No… Everything will collapse!"
The intro soon melted into an interlude involving cutscenes that featured the three villains I fought earlier. Frieza, Cell and Majin Buu. Not only that, but it showed that these three were enveloped in a sinister aura with glowing red eyes. Although I must admit, mom's got good taste in music.
But the scene on the TV screen shifted to seven glowing orbs on a pedestal with a giant green Chinese Dragon floating above them. And about to speak to the dragon was a man who looks older than me. Maybe in his early twenties.
"Give me a strong ally. Someone with enough power to help me defend time itself. This wish I ask of you, Shenron." said the boy.
"Your wish is granted." replied the dragon as his eyes glowed red.
Suddenly, my aura surrounded me as I felt a pull on my body. Then I heard a voice that wasn't from the game.
"Someone summons you from a land far away… brave warrior… now, come forth!"
"THIS. IS NOT. MY DAY!"
