More words- not part of the story

Start

After Jaune's loss at the hands of a 'lucky shot'. Others challenged him and lost similarly to 'lucky bullets'. The closest ones to avoiding the bullets were Ruby, Blake, and Ren. The rest couldn't avoid the 'bullet' or tried to block, which didn't turn out to well for them. Fortunately for them he started to only fire these shots on the third round. Of course he had to make it seem like he sometimes missed with his bullets. Whenever he seemed like he had a 'lucky bullet' primed and missed, he dug his finger in the floor and flinged outwards.

It had been a few weeks after Cardin had bullied Jaune. The threat of getting expelled from Beacon had gotten through to him. Russel, by extension, had some repercussions but none were major.

That wasn't why Jade was mad at him though. Jade had grown angry at Cardin for his blatant racism and lack of respect to peers. On the other hand, Cardin grew disillusioned with Jade for her inconsideration. Russel became infuriated at Cardin's declaration. Beryl really had no problem with them and decided to let them work it out themselves.

This was why Russel was up at 5:30, at the gym with Beryl.

"Why can't they just understand man? I don't like to be the butt of the joke. Hell, I've known Cardin for the longest time, and doesn't respect me at all!"

He set the cable biceps bar to it's maximum weight of 400 lbs. and started the last rep without seemingly any strain at all

"You have different strengths."

"Well, I guess. but seriously, why doesn't anyone respect me? I'm just 'Cardin's lackey'."

Doing the same for the leg extensions, easily.

"Try to care less about what other people think."

"Man, that's so stereotypical. I'll give it a go though, you haven't been wrong before."

At the bench press, Beryl decided he would spare the bar and only go with a relatively light 200 lbs.

"What's the situation now."

"Well Cardin got real mad at her for calling his family the bad guys. He turned it back on her, calling her inconsiderate and rude. Which is kinda Ironic cause he bullied students."

Beryl put 200 on the deadlift and did fifteen reps.

"Kinda."

"Now, I'm pretty sure that they agreed to at least be neutral. So long as Cardin curbs his racism and Jade attempts to be considerate."

He picked up two 60 pound barbells and lunged across the floor.

"Unlikely."

"I know right? Well that's what I think is happening."

"We're done."

Beryl cleaned off the things he used, like a normal human being.

"Okay man. So, what's your problem with them?"

"None."

"None as in you don't to talk about it or you don't have a problem?"

"The latter."

Russel and Beryl walked back to the room and got ready for the day in the same manner.

Classes started normally and Jade and Cardin didn't argue during that time.

All was well, until Goodwitch's class.

"You're on a winning streak Mr. Lgneio, why don't you and Ms. Nikos fight."

"Ms Goodwitch, am I eligible to for-"

"You ask me that question everyday. The answer is no. You have ten minutes to grab your weapons."

Like Beryl, Pyrrha had also been on a winning streak, although not to the overwhelming point that Beryl had been. Beryl also didn't know her semblance, the rest of his peers had shown off their semblances, giving him an idea of what to expect. He didn't have that advantage with her.

Ten minutes had passed and both students were armed and in the ring.

"You may begin."

Immediately firing three shots, Pyrrha aimed to deflect them. The 'lucky shot' was going to graze her shield. He tapped her shield and flicked the ground. Upon reaching his previous position, Pyrrha was launched back and the ground behind her exploded.

Pyrrha with wide eyes braced herself against the wall with her shield which only dented a little bit from the tap. That alone had Beryl's respect, a shield that could withstand that amount of force was something he didn't see very often.

Recovering, Pyrrha saw that she had 90% aura remaining, an unprecedented event as she was renowned as the 'invincible girl.'

Almost desperate to keep him from firing more shots, she rushed him quickly and efficiently stopped his early lead.

Every time Beryl had gotten a chance to escape from her onslaught, he was forced to block an incoming shield, lance or bullets. He found it harder to dodge than normal, his light metal armor weighing a little more than usual

Deciding to put away his gun in accordance to her strategy. Beryl slowly drew a concealed emerald colored pocket knife. This action caused Pyrrha to become wary and the audience to be curious.

Pyrrha charged again because the lack of his gun and Beryl raised his knife and swung downwards when she was a few feet away.

Pyrrha was blown backwards and the knife made a thin cut from the floor to the wall behind Pyrrha.

As for personal damage, Pyrrha's aura shattered, the shield itself taking the brunt, had a scrape and dent in the shape of a line.

"And that's the match. Well done Beryl, you should have no problem qualifying for the festival. Pyrrha, you should not rush your opponent if they change their strategy. Beryl's trump card was a good example of why."

"We have time for one more match. Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna, you've been rather docile for the last few class periods. Why don't you-"

"I'll do it"

A guy who looked good in grey and might've had a bad boy look to him raised his hand.

"Mercury is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent."

"Actually, I want to fight him."

"Me?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Lgneio has just finished a match. I recommend you choose another partner."

"It's fine. I don't care."

Soon enough both fighters stood across from each other. Mercury with his fists in a stance reminiscent of a boxer and Beryl with knife in hand.

"You may begin."

Mercury immediately rushed Beryl but was cautious not to stand in front of it directly.

Mercury had gotten him a few blows before Beryl, who was annoyed, thrusted his knife in the general direction his opponent.

Mercury flew back, like the average student and hit the wall harshly. Suddenly Mercury appeared to his side in a kick that was really fast for anyone that he had ever seen.

Dodging it easily, he was looked at weirdly by Glynda.

"Mr. Lgneio, the match is over."

Deciding to trust Glynda and his aura the illusion did nothing to him and disappeared.

'Someone else has an illusion semblance. Jade said she can make people ignore her, that was nothing like what she described.'

Upon entering the seats, the bell rang signaling the end of the day. Jade approached him from somewhere.

"Well done as usual Beryl, I didn't know you had a knife."

Trying to come up with a good excuse, Beryl acquiesced

"Not many people are durable enough for the knife."

"Mhm..."

Apparently deciding to save this conversation for later, The team got to the room together and Beryl went to sleep, unknowing of the consequences that he had earned.

AN:

I'd say that was a good chapter.

The usual hints in there.

The closest guess so far has been nobody, with the guess of nothing.

Nobody is wrong, he has a semblance.

Also, I really like Neo and I want opinions of what to do, if there is such a function, please give feedback.

On another side note, Neo exclusively can hide things with her illusions. Emerald can make things appear, don't quote me on that and comment if I'm wrong or something.

Comments are love or something.
