Hey guys and welcome to another chapter of 'Another day in Remnant', I had recently watched Volume 3, Episode 11 of Rwby and holy shite, I had some mixed feelings for that episode, Velvets weapon and skills, I am very impressed, worth the wait too, then comes the anti-climatic ending of Roman and Neo, mostly Roman, and then comes Yang...I guess she chose the 'right' choice am I right?...too soon? Ok...NOW ONTO REVIEWS...
[Insert Lack of reviews here]
...
Well anyways, onto the next chapter we go...?
Weeks past by after the events of the 'shopping incident'.
And now I'm observed Jaune charging towards Cardin only for Cardin to side-step out of the way before upper cutting Jaune with his mace, sending Jaune flying and lose his shield.
Jaune got back up and continued to charge at Cardin, clashing his sword over Cardin's mace only to be slowly overpowered, I then noticed a small talk between the two before it ended with Cardin to kneeing Jaune in the stomach, causing Jaune crumple up on the ground in pain.
"Dirty move, Cardin," I quietly commented.
Just before Cardin swung his mace down Jaune, the buzzer rang and the lights came up.
"Cardin, that's enough," Glynda ordered, walking up onto the arena.
"Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle and that the official may call the match," Glynda explained the rules of the tournament-style duel.
"Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now, please try to refer to your scroll during combat. Gauging your aura will help you when to decide when it is appropriate to attack or when it is better to move to a more...defensive strategy," Glydna explained to Jaune about the scroll.
"We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf now, would we?" Glynda sarcastically asked before turning to face the rest of the students.
"Speak for yourself," I heard Cardin comment.
Cardin's starting to get under my nerves.
"Remember everyone, the Vytal festival is only a few months away, it won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing," Glynda explained to the class while I looked to my team to see excitement before I turn to look back at Glynda.
"Those who choose to compete in a combat tournament will be representing all of Vale," Glynda finishes off before the bell rang.
When I looked back to where Jaune was, I noticed he was still on the ground, looking dejected before I went with my team to the cafeteria.
Cafeteria...
"So, there we were, in the middle of night," Nora explaining her story dramatically.
"It was day," Ren clarified what really happened while holding his cup by the palm of his hand.
"We were surrounded by Ursa's."
"They were Beowolves."
"DOZENS OF THEM!" Nora yelled out, getting up in the process.
"Two of them."
"But they were no match and in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload Lien selling Ursa skin rugs," Nora concluded her story.
As Nora finished her story, I looked around my table.
I see Blake reading a book while Yang had her elbows on the table and hands on her chin, listening to the story, Pyrrha looking at Jaune worriedly, Weiss filing her nails, and Ruby also looking at Jaune, who was just playing with his food, in a worried way.
"*Sigh* She's been having this recurring dream for nearly a month now," Ren explains to us.
"Jaune are you okay?" Pyrrha asked Jaune.
Jaune still daydreaming, I attempted to snap him out.
"Jaune, someone's talking to you," I called out to him.
"Huh, oh yeah, why?" Jaune asked, snapping out of his daydream.
"It's just that you seem a little...not okay..." Ruby tried, trying her best way to describe the problem.
"...Guys I'm fine seriously, look," Jaune assured, putting a thumbs up and smiled, not enough to convince me.
I then heard Cardin laughing in the distance, so I turned look around to see him laughing next to a bunny-eared Faunus girl while his teammates surrounded her, one of them mimicking ears out of his hands.
I tightened the fork I held on my left hand due to their bullying, but I then noticed Jaune tightened his fist in anger.
"Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school," Pyrrha explained, getting Jaune's attention while he relived his fist.
"Who, Cardin Winchester? Naw, he just likes to mess around you know, practical jokes," Jaune says, dismissing it.
"He's a bully," Ruby bluntly pointed out.
"Not to mention that he's an asshole to Faunus' alike," I also pointed out to Jaune, trying to hide my anger in my voice.
"Oh please, name one time he's 'bullied' me," Jaune asked, adding air quotes in bullied.
"Well, he slapped your books off you and walked off as if nothing happened a few days ago."
"He just accidentally bumped into me."
"He's activated your shield in between the class doorway the other day."
"The shield just activated on its own."
"He pushed you into one of the rocket lockers and sent you flying," I then said.
"I didn't land far from the school," Jaune says, attempting to laugh it off.
"Jaune, you know, if you ever need help, you can just ask," Pyrrha suggested to Jaune.
"Ooooh, we'll break his legs!" Nora suggested, standing back up again.
"Guys, really, it's fine. Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me, he's a jerk to everyone," Jaune explained, standing up with his tray of food.
"Ow, that hurts!" I heard the Bunny Faunus girl yell out loud.
What I saw completely pissed me off, witnessing Cardin grabbed the girls left bunny ear and continued to pull it while he and his whole team laughed at her.
"Please stop," the Bunny Faunus girl pleaded.
"I told you it was real," Cardin said to his teammates, continuing to ignore her while laughing.
"What a freak," one of his teammates said.
It was the last thing I wanted to hear. I slammed both my hands on the table, catching Jaune's and my own team's attention, got up and walked up to Cardin.
"Ekuro, what do you think you're do-?" Weiss demanded, trying to stop me but I cut her sentence off.
"Not the time, Weiss," I told her, every word seeping with anger, and kept walking towards Cardin and his team until I was in front of him.
"Let go of her ear, Cardin," I ordered Cardin, catching him and his teams attention.
"Or what?" he cockily tried, getting up from his seat, and towered over me while still holding her ear.
"Or I'll make your life a living hell, now let go of her ear," I threatened him.
"Make me," was all he said to convince me.
I quickly pinched him between the neck and head hard enough to keep him conscious.
The result of this caused Cardin to drop down to his knees in pain while trying to get my hand off his neck but he still held onto the girls ear.
"Now, are you going to let go of her ear?" I asked Cardin, tightening my grip ever so slightly.
Cardin didn't say a word but then released go of the girl's bunny ear.
"Thank you," the girl quietly thanked me before hurrying off wiht her food tray.
"Ekuro, stop it!" I heard Weiss pleaded.
I hesitated to let go.
"Ekuro, if you don't let go, you're going to get yourself into a lot trouble," Ruby reasoned with me.
I leaned close to Cardin's left ear.
"If I ever see you try to bully or threaten any of my friends or Faunus, I will give you no mercy the next time we duel, am I clear?" I threatened Cardin who didn't respond until I pressed ever so slightly harder again.
"We're clear!" I heard Cardin confirm before I released him and walked away.
"You're going to regret that you bastard!" he cursed out to me, only to gain by flicking him off while I looked away.
As I sat back at the table in-between Weiss and Ruby, everyone stared at me.
"What?" I asked the group.
"What was that?" Weiss started off, looking annoyed.
"That? That was nothing," I casually answered.
"What do you mean nothing? You just put Cardin to his knees with just two fingers," Ruby retorted, shocked.
"I could've done a lot of worse things to him, some of them you wouldn't want to know," I explained to everyone.
"Well it's atrocious, I can't stand people like him," Pyrrha pointed out, changing the subject slightly.
"He's not the only one," Blake agreed with Pyrrha.
"It must be hard to be a Faunus," Yang expressed, also agreeing with the rest.
"Well isn't that a fact," I quietly comment, stabbing a piece of food on my plate before I realised I stabbed through the plate itself.
And I'm done for the time being, and hear I thought I wouldn't be able to complete this...
So till next time in the next chapter...
