Seems like a got a review for this story, which is surprising because I don't know how many people actually know what Ip Man or who he is. Also, remember to review FOOLS. Also, Ip's gonna seem like hes getting the affections of all the girls, but it's just because he is very kind. I'm trying my best to make sure I portray the Ip in the movies.

COShepard:It's listed under movies, it's one random as hell crossover too, but thanks for the review man!
Guest: Yes there are Fire Emblem References, but I don't think many people will notice, but who knows.
MrOreaMan: Don't worry I'm actually using this story as an experiment. So it shouldn't be on hiatus because I need to confirm something with myself by writing this one.
Chapter 2: Legacy
An eleven year old Ip, watched from afar as his father defeated a Goliath with his own hands. He analysed his fathers movements, and ways of attack.
First, he waited for the Goliath to charge, and when it did he sidestepped and destroyed one of its tusk with a single chop. He would soon come to know later, that there is a weak spot on the Goliath.
His father then jumped up and slammed his leg down that was covered in cutting edge lightning severing the trunk. He noticed how his father hit a specific part of the trunk.
He watched as his father waited for the Goliath that was frustrated to charge once more. As it did, he grabbed it by the remaining tusk, and used its weight to tip it off balance.
He brought his hand forward, with his elbows relaxed facing down. He opened his palm and tensed his fingers pointing outward. he brought his right hand in the same position but kept it closer to his body.
He then clenched his fist, showing that he was going to go on the offensive. Wing Chun, combined ultimate defense, with an ultimate offense. When one's palm is opened and relax, they are defensive. However when ones hands are clenched into fist, they are about to go on a full offensive assault.
A white aura gathered around his fathers hands, as he ripped off the last trunk and stabbed it into the head of the Goliath. Lightning, crackled as his father from his stance punched the tusk shooting it straight through the body of the Goliath.
"Woah…." Ip thought as his father came to a close and bowed to his defeated opponent. He then turned towards Ip.
"When will I be able to do that father?" Ip asked as his father chuckled at the boys enthusiasm.
"It will just come to you one day. All I can do is teach you the basics, the rest will come from our ancestors." He said as Ip was confused.
"One day you shall see."
(BallRoom)
Ip's eyes snapped open, he had dreamed about his father once more. He contemplated the words about how the rest will come to him. He quickly put away his sleeping bag, while Ruby and Yang were still asleep.
"Time for morning exercises." He thought as he looked at the clock which said 5:00 A.M.
He walked towards the field nearby as no one was awake, he liked it this way. He closed his eyes as the wind blowed, and the nature set in.
Little did he know the family emblem he was wearing was glowing under his shirt. He suddenly began seeing visions.
A man was fighting a DeathStalker, bits and pieces of the vision showed the man attacking specific parts on the creature making its stinger and claws come off.
His eyes snapped open as his body began moving to the vision. He never felt this way before, his body moved on its own as if the movements were part of him all along.
This was it! This was what his father told him about, how his ancestors would be the key to the rest of the martial art.
"A little early for training don't you think?" He snapped out of his trance, and turned around to see Ozpin and smiled.
"Sorry, it has become a habit to wake up at such a time." Ip said as the headmaster nodded.
"I understand, taking care of a school is quite difficult for me too." He said as he took a sip. "Ip, do you have your fathers grappling glove?"
Ip, rolled up his right sleeve to show that he did indeed have the grappling glove. This was the only thing his father used, back in the day apparently.
"That item brings back many memories." Ozpin said as Ip smiled.
"You must have known my father pretty well."
"Yes, I did for about twenty or so years to be exact." Ozpin said as he turned around and began walking away only to stop. "Remember Ip, you are safe here. Make friends and live a happy life like your father would have wanted."
"I know, but I'm still going to stop the Grimeal." Ip said with determination.
"Of course, and I'm going to help you when that day comes."
(2 Hours Later)
As people began getting up, Ip decided to go to his locker. When he had arrived he saw Yang and Ruby who were arguing.
"What does meeting people have to do with fighting? And secondly I don't need people to help me grow up, I DRINK MILK."
"Then you certainly need to drink a lot more." Ip said as the small girl glared at him. "You should listen to your elder sister."
"Ohhhhh! Not you too Ip!" She said as he smiled at her.
"People become stronger through adventures, and those adventures involve meeting new people. You should cut yourself some slack, you are a wonderful person Ruby." He said as she blushed and looked away.
"I-I-I'm just shy I guess." She said as Yang looked between the two of them and had a sly smile. Ip, patted Ruby on the head before walking away with his hands held behind his back.
"Ip!" Ruby called as he looked back. "Can I be on your team?"
"Should fate decide it to be so." He said as he continued walking away.
"Ohhhh! I hope I get on your guys team." Ruby said as her sister gave her a funny look."What?"
"Oh nothing, I just noticed some things, thats all." Yang said with a sly grin that sent chills down Ruby's spine.
Ip, walked by Weiss and Pyrrha, deciding that he should say hi, he waited for them to finish their conversation.
"So Pyrrha, have you thought about who you wanted to team up with? I'm pretty sure people would be excited to pair up with such a well known individual such as yourself." She said as Ip rose an eyebrow, not knowing that Pyrrha was well known.
"Hmm, I'm not quite sure, I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may." She said as Weiss nodded.
"Well, I was just thinking maybe we could be on a team together."
"Sounds like a good idea." Pyrrha responded as Weiss turned around creating a thunderstorm of evil intentions, causing Ip and Pyrrha to sweatdrop.
"Oh! Ip, how long have you been there?" Pyrrha said as Weiss stopped what she was doing. Ip, rose up his hand in front of his chest.
"Oh, I was just passing by and wanted to pay my respects by greeting you two." He said as Weiss changed her demeanor.
"Well, its good to know that some people here have proper etiquette." She said nobly as he smiled, he then turned to Pyrrha.
"Also, I did not know that you were well known. I apologize." He said with a bow as Pyrrha began waving her arms all over the place. She then grabbed Ip's hands as he stood back up straight.
"No, no! Please don't apologize it was nothing too important." She said with a light blush as she let go of his hands. Weiss, on the other hand.
"You mean you don't know who she is?" Weiss asked as Ip shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, I've lived in the countryside most of my life." Ip said as Weiss sighed.
"This, is Pyrrha she graduated top of her class at Sanctum." She said as Ip nodded.
"So you are good at academics, I look forward to working alongside you in that aspect as well then." Ip said as Pyrrha smiled.
"She's also won the Mistral Regional Tournament multiple times." Weiss said again, as Ip rose an eyebrow.
"Really now? I hope to spar with you sometime Pyrrha." Ip said as the girl scratched the back of her head.
"It's nothing to be too proud about." She said.
"You are too humble, being smart, and a great fight must make you sought after by many suitors as well." He said as she blushed.
"Well….something like that." She said as she remembered how all the boys back home were afraid of her as Ip chuckled.
Ip, then bowed. "Well, I should get going now, see you two later." He said as he left leaving the two girls to themselves.
"That Ip guy is really interesting and odd." Weiss said as Pyrrha watched him walk away.
"I think he's just really kind."
(Initiation)
"For years you have trained to become warriors. Today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ip, looked around noticing how everyone was standing on a platform. He looked towards Glynda as she began speaking about teams.
"Now, I know many of you have been hearing rumors about the assignments of the teams. Well, let us put an end to them today. Each of you will be given teammates…..today." She said as Ruby who was next to Ip, made a sad sound.
"Ruby, stay calm please." He said as she nodded while gulping.
"These teammates will be here with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is advised you pick someone you work well with. That being said the first person you make eye contact will be your partner for the next four years." Ozpin said as everyone heard the sound of mirrors shattering from Ruby.
"After you've partnered up head towards the north of the forest to secure a relic at an abandoned temple. You will meet opposition along the way, and if you aren't careful...you will die" He said as some people gulped.
"You will be graded and monitored for the rest of your duration, but our instructors shall not intervene. Now then take your positions." Ozpin said as everyone got ready, he looked over to Ip, who stayed in a relaxed standing position.
Ruby, looked over at Ip with a smirk. Ip, on the other hand was wondering about her sudden 180 change in demeanor. He watched as all the students for sent off flying leaving only him left.
"Good luck, Ip." Ozpin said as the platform shot him away.
(Ip)
As Ip, sailed through the air he rolled up his sleeve to reveal the grapple his father had given him. As soon as a tree came close, he used it and reeled himself towards the tree, with his feet landing on a branch.
As he jumped down, he heard a growl and turned around to see three Ursas. "Well then, it seems like I already have a good challenge."
He once more brought his hand forward, with his elbows relaxed facing down. He opened his palm and tensed his fingers pointing outward. he brought his right hand in the same position but kept it closer to his body.
All grimm had a type of fighting style, he knew this because of what his father taught him. Ursa, were most likely to grab their opponent, whereas Beowulves relied on strikes.
As the Ursa charged it tried to grab him, his body became encased in aura, as the Ursa brought its arms down he slammed his palm into the horns on its elbows sending them upward. He then took a step back and jammed his elbow into its solar plexus sending it flying.
Another one charged forward as he remained in the same stance. It swung its right arm as he blocked it with his foot, and slammed three swift punches filled with electricity to its face.
As it dropped to the ground twitching he brought up his foot and slammed it down causing the Ursa to explode. Another Ursa ran forward in an attempt to grab him, only for him to grab its chest hair, and throw it headfirst into the ground behind him.
As he held up the face of the Ursa, he slammed multiple punches into its head until its head was no longer there. He turned around to see another Ursa charge through the bushes, but then a brown and red shield slammed into its stomach sending it backwards.
Ip, followed the shield as it went behind him. He saw the girl known as Pyrrha and nodded her in thanks.
"You mind?" She asked as she pointed at the Ursa.
"All yours." He said as she charged the Ursa. She brought up her shield as it slammed down its arms.
Two slashes from her sword across its chest made it take a couple of steps back. Pyrrha, then stabbed her sword right through the chin of the Ursa killing it.
"Well, Ip it seems like we're partners." She said as he smiled.
"It seems so then, also you were observing me weren't you?" He said as she blushed.
"Well, yeah I was gonna come help, but you clearly had the situation under control." She said sheepishly as he nodded.
"Well, we better go look for those relics now right?" Ip said as Pyrrha nodded happily. He walked off with his hands held behind him as she followed.
"So, Ip why didn't you draw your weapon?" Pyrrha asked as he stopped.
"Because I don't have one." He said as he continued walking. He stopped when she ran in front of him.
"Wait, you don't have a weapon Ip?" She asked in confusion as he lightly frowned.
"I've never needed to use one, Pyrrha." He said as she stood up confused even more.
"That's really dangerous though." She said as he chuckled and walked past her.
"I've never needed one, Pyrrha you're going to see some really interesting things." He said as she caught up.
(Ozpin and Glynda)
"Professor Ozpin it seems that has paired up with Ip, quite the formidable pair." Glynda said as she looked over her tablet.
"Hmm, yes that is quite the pair." Ozpin said as he watched Ruby and Weiss fight off a pack of Beowulves.
"By the way Professor Ozpin, what did you use as relics this year?" Glynda said as the professor was busy watching Ruby and Ip at the same time.
"Professor?"
(Ip and Pyrrha)
Ip, ducked as a Beowulf swung its arm. He then slammed an electric palm in its chest making it go into a seizure. He then chopped off its neck with his hand.
An Ursa, ran towards him as he used its charging momentum to throw it a far distance, it sailed over the trees.
He looked to his side as a Beowulf was impaled with a spear in the face. Pyrrha ran towards her weapon and ripped it out.
Pyrrha, was still at a loss of words for the fact that Ip fought unarmed. Some people do that, but they always had weapons on hand.
They suddenly heard the sound of trees being crushed. Ip and Pyrrha looked at the direction where he threw the Ursa as a huge DeathStalker came into view with the Ursa ripped in half.
"Uh...what now Ip?" Pyrrha asked as Ip thought for a moment.
"Run."
(Somewhere Else)
Yang, picked up a golden horse piece. She looked at the piece and then looked over at her partner. "Hey! How about a shiny horsie?"
"Sure." Blake said as they heard the sounds of trees getting crushed.
"What was that?" Yang said as Blake was staring at the sky. "Blake I said-"
Blake, was pointing up as Yang finally looked up she saw her little sister flying towards them. "Look out!"
Yang, ran forward to catch her sister, until someone else caught her. Ruby, opened her eyes to see Ip.
"You are too reckless." He said as he put the little girl down. Pyrrha, appeared next to Ip out of breath as the giant DeathStalker appeared.
Suddenly a giant Ursa also appeared, a pink flash of energy came from its back as it fell down dead. "Aww its dead." A girl with orange hair said.
"Nora, never ever do that again." Ren said as the girl already disappeared. As everyone gathered together, with the DeathStalker watching from about twenty yards away Yang got pissed.
"Could everyone just calm the fuck down, before something even crazier happens!" She yelled as everyone looked at her. She looked over to Ruby who was patting her shoulder.
"Uhh, guys." She pointed up as everyone looked up at Weiss who was holding onto a large Nevermore.
Ip, resisted the urge to facepalm. Which he failed to do and facepalmed anyway. He looked over at Ruby who scratched the back of her head sheepishly.
As Weiss fell, Ip charged forward and jumped catching Weiss, as he landed he did a barrel roll to neutralize the damage of the fall.
"Are you alright?" Ip said as he let the heiress down who was blushing profoundly.
"Yes! I am perfectly fine." She said as Ip smiled.
"Great! The gangs all here now we can all die." Yang said as her sister looked at her.
"Not if I can help it!" She charged towards the DeathStalker, only to trip backwards as Ip stepped on her cape.
"Hey! What was that about?" She yelled as the others ran up towards Ip and her.
"Ruby, you have friends here to fight alongside you. Don't go rushing in like that you could die. Think about how your sister would feel." Ip said as Ruby looked over at Yang.
"Sorry…." She said as Ip helped her up.
"We technically do not need to fight these grimm, we must remember that our goal is to bring the relics back." Ip reasoned as everyone nodded. Ip and Ruby walked over to the relics, as Ip picked up a castle piece and Ruby picked up a golden horse.
"Let's go!" Ruby yelled as they all ran off.
(Nearby Ruins)(What happened to not fighting them? Ruby was like we shouldn't fight them in canon :P)
The group ran through the forest and came upon another abandoned ruin. Overhead the Nevermore screeched as it kept its eyes on them.
Pyrrha, changed her sword into its gun form, as everyone hid behind parts of the ruins. The Nevermore landed on the edge of a ruin high up in the air.
Ip, rolled out and shot his palm forward as a blast of electricity soared towards the grimm. The grimm screeched in pain as everyone unloaded their bullets onto it.
It began to flap its wings causing a powerful gust of wind to appear. Ip, upon seeing this rolled back behind cover next to Pyrrha.
The sounds of trees being crushed were heard once again as the DeathStalker came into view. Ip, sighed and called out to everyone.
"As soon as I hit the Nevermore move from this position!" He yelled as everyone nodded. He jumped out and extended two fingers at the Nevermore shocking it making it stop the gusts of wind.
It was then hit by grenades that were launched by Nora causing the Nevermore to flinch, as everyone ran away from the DeathStalker.
The Deathstalker came up from behind Nora and attempted to grab her with its right pincher, until Ip appeared and punched the part connecting the pincers to the Deathstalkers body making it recoil.
Pyrrha, took out her gun and began raining bullets onto the carapace of the Deathstalker. Ren, took out his weapons and slammed the blades into the tail of the DeathStalker.
"Ren!" Nora yelled as the DeathStalker tossed Ren off of its tail sending him flying right into the wall of a ruin nearby.
Pyrrhas, gun turned into a lance as Ip, jumped on the top of the Deathstalker. She threw it as it landed right into the eyes of the grimm. Ip, grabbed the weapon and threw it back to Pyrrha.
The family emblem began glowing once again, as Ip was wracked with visions of his ancestors fighting the Deathstalkers.
The arms were weak points, and right above the stinger where it was connected to the tail, if you fight between where the arms are bent it cannot attack you.
Ip, stepped in and slammed multiple chops and punched to the right arm, followed by a chop encased in lighting severing its right arm. He then jumped on its back and shot lightning at it's tail as Pyrrha and Nora distracted it with gunfire.
"Pyrrha!" He yelled as she threw her shield cutting off the stinger making it fall onto the head of the Deathstalker. Ip jumped off and attacked the weak points on the left arm before cutting it off.
The Deathstalker tried to crush Ip with its pincers on its mouth, but Ren landed on its head and gouged out the rest of its eyes.
"Ren, jump off, Nora use your hammer!" He yelled as she jumped forward and slammed her hammer into the stinger killing the Deathstalker.
(Ozpin)
"Professor, is Ip holding back?" Glynda asked.
"Yes he is." Ozpin said as he watched the fight on his tablet.
"Why?"
"Its not why, but how he did it. He held back in such a way that each of his team members could be evaluated perfectly." Ozpin said with praise.
"He seems like he would be a good leader." Glynda said as Ozpin nodded.
"Just like his father."
(Later)
"Ip Man, Pyrrha Nikos, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren. You have picked the golden castle pieces. From now on you will be known as Team INtercePtoR." Ozpin said as he walked over to Ip and handed him a badge.
"Ip Man, you will be the leader of this team." He said as Ip bowed accepting the honor.
"I will accept this honor, Professor Ozpin." He said as Pyrrha put her hand on his right shoulder. Nora, was dancing around happily and Ren smiled in content.
As they got off stage, they sat next to Team RWBY. Ruby, gave Ip a thumbs up as he nodded to her in thanks.
"Leaders, from now on every friday, there will be workshops for you to attend. These workshops should help you in learning to become leaders." Ozpin said as the crowd roared.
"You are all now dismissed."
(Dormitory)
Ip, looked around the room with four beds as he laid down his pack. He sat on one of the beds and traced his palm over it.
"Beds!" Nora yelled as she jumped on a random bed. Ip, chuckled at the hyperactive girl, she gave the team a change of pace.
Ip, took off his shirt as Pyrrha could not help but keep her eyes on his back. She noticed the three clawed scar obviously from an Ursa. Ren and Nora noticed it too, they had been wondering about their leader lately.
He was extremely kind, and humble. He knew how to keep a level head during tough situations. It still pegged the question, who was he?
"(They don't find it weird, that boys and girls are in the same room?)" Ip said as Ren widened his eyes. People usually only spoke standard and chinese was not spoken much anymore.
"(Everyone is here with a purpose they would not want to screw it up.)" Ren said as Ip nodded. Pyrrha and Nora on the other hand were wondering what the hell they were saying.
"Uh, Ren what are you guys saying?" Nora said as Ren looked over at her.
"Its an ancient language that only a few speak. It seems that Ip here speaks it, I do too but I haven't used it in a long time." Ren said as Ip opened his closet revealing uniforms.
"I've never worn anything other than my tunics, but it looks like that will have to change." Ip said as he turned around. Pyrrha, looked away blushing much to his confusion.
"Pyrrha, we are partners no need to be embarrassed, right Nora, Ren?" Ip said as the other two nodded.
"I know, I know its just….nothing, nothing at all." She said as she ran into the bathroom. Nora was confused at all of this, but Ren on the other hand.
"(So, we gonna be speaking like this for sometime right?)" Ren said as Ip smiled.
"(It's pretty fun and sneaky when we talk this way.)" Ip responded as he and Ren laughed. Nora, pouted at the conversation.
"Guys! Don't talk like that! I can't understand what you guys are saying!" She yelled in frustration.
"Fine, Nora." Ren said as he looked back up at Ip. "So, Ip you didn't use any weapons today."
"That is correct, because I don't use any." He said as Ren widened his eyes, Nora looked over at him in surprise. The bathroom door opened as Pyrrha walked out in her pajamas, which were a pink pair with shields and spears.
"I've been wanting to ask you about that." Pyrrha said with concern. "You certainly displayed the skill, but you never know Ip."
"Shes right, leaderrrr~." Nora said as he smiled.
"I use my hands, but I will always need my weapons." Ren said as his two guns appeared out of his sleeves.
"I was born with unusually strong aura, and my semblance is rare, so I've never really needed to use weapons." Ip said as he yawned. "Let us sleep, we have classes tomorrow after all."
(Next Morning)
Ip's eyes snapped open, as he woke up at his regular time. He looked around to see his new teammates still asleep.
He smiled to himself, realizing that he really was here. He was still worried though, his mind was currently on the Grimeal, he wanted to know if he should really be here, and not be hunting them down.
He knew though that his father did not want him to walk down that path. That dark lonely path of killing his father did not want that of him.
He stood up and put on his tunic and left silently. Little did he know a certain redhead noticed him leave.
Ip walked outside towards the field, he looked around and took in nature. He began practicing movements going at peace, as the emblem on his chest was about to glow someone spoke.
"How do you like your new teammates." Ip stopped as Ozpin spoke.
"They are nice people, I look forward to working alongside them." He said as he continued.
"You know Ip, there will be a time when you have to tell them who you are." Ozpin said as Ip nodded.
"Everything is just a legend now apparently." Ip said as he remembered the statue, in the middle of the Academy grounds.
"Yes, but if it was merely just a legend there wouldn't be that statute of your great something grandfather in my school." Ozpin said as he watched the birds fly over head. "People just can't accept that such things exists, it goes against the current cultural norms."
"I know, it is documented in history, but people really do believe that the art of Wing Chun is lost don't they." Ip said.
"Legends are based off of truths. One day you might show them that it still does exist." Ozpin said as he walked away. About five minutes later, someone else had arrived.
"You can come out Pyrrha." Ip said as the redhead appeared in her uniform. She blushed and scratched the back of her head.
"How long did you know I was here for?" Pyrrha asked as he stopped and smiled.
"About since you got here," He asked as she nodded, he stopped and looked over at her. "Is there something you need?"
"Ip, you know if theres anything troubling you, you can tell me or the others right?" She said as he smiled happily at having such caring friends.
"No worries what kind of leader would I be if I did not trust you guys." He said as she smiled.
"Well then leader let's go decorate our dorm." She said as he nodded happily.
(White Fang)
Roman, was currently looking at a map as White Fang members behind him were moving around dust. Roman, took a deep puff of his cigar before throwing it on the ground and stepping on it.
"Boss, the Grimeal are here." One of the White Fang said nervously as Roman stood up straight and cleared his throat.
Cinder walked in, wearing her usual red dress, and on the back she had a tattoo of the dragon Grima. About ten people wearing Grimeal cloaks were with her.
"Hello, Roman." She said seductively as Roman sighed.
"What does the boss want now?" Roman said as she walked up close to him and placed her hand on his face.
"The boss says, don't attract too much attention."
"Alright, I've been laying low anyway jeez." Roman said as Cinder smirked.
"The seven sins are going to make their move soon, so I suggest you be read Roman."
"Eh? We have plenty of dust, what do you guys want now." He responded.
"The Grimeal, need some more test subjects….and sacrifices, you know the missing people lately, that was all us." She said as Roman chuckled.
"Evil, I like it."
"Also, we lost ten men a couple weeks ago." Cinder said as her tone changed.
"What happened?"
"What do you know of Wing Chun." Cinder said as she walked towards the map of Vale.
"The usual, movies, legends, how one of them stopped a world war." Roman said as he rose an eyebrow. "Why the sudden interest?"
"What if I told you the legends were true?" Cinder said as Roman widened his eyes, but then reasoned with his logic.
"You mean to tell me, that there is a Wing Chun user out there?" Roman laughed, but then stopped when he saw the serious look on Cinders face. She handed him a picture of Ip.
"Okay, there is one, why is he so important?"
"His father, killed the previous leader of the Grimeal. Also, he has something that holds the history and secret of Wing Chun and the Grimm." She said as Roman rose an eyebrow. "Wing Chun has also defeated the Grimeal dozens of times in the past."
"So, basically if we want to succeed one hundred percent, we need to stop this kid." He said as she nodded. "Go on."
"Every Saturday, this young man comes to visit the orphanage. We want you to see if you can take him alive, or find the Family Emblem for Wing Chun, its a white hexagonal symbol, should fit in the palm of your hand."
"Alright, but I'm gonna need some people, the White Fang, aren't as per say…."
"Very well, we will send you some Grimeal tomorrow." Cinder said as she walked away.
As she made it outside two of the Grimeal walked up by her side. They pulled down their heads revealing Emerald and Mercury.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? We did lose ten guys last week." Mercury said as they walked towards the BullHead.
"He can't be that strong right?" Emerald asked no one in particular as Cinder stopped walking.
"Who knows, but things will be fun."
(Library)
Ip, picked out a couple books to read. He had not read books since the death of his father, so he thought to give them a try once again.
As he looked for a table to sit, he noticed a familiar black bow. We walked over to Blake, and tapped her shoulder.
She looked up from her book realizing it was Ip, she smiled. "What's up Ip?" She asked.
"Would you mind if I read next to you?" He asked as she nodded happily.
"So, what are you reading?" He asked as he sat down.
"I'm reading about the legend of Wing Chun, how in the first world war the master at the time fought a Vacuo General, to rally the people of Vale." Blake said as Ip smiled in amusement, Naga worked in strange ways.
"What's so funny?" Blake asked as she noticed the smile on his face.
"It's nothing, I just didn't think anyone was still interested in martial arts." He said as she shook her head.
"Hey, its the first way people learned to defend themselves who wouldn't be interested."
"I guess you're right." He said as he opened his first book in a long time.
(Training Room)
Ren, moved forward and threw a straight punch, as Ip parried the attack. Ren, once again rose up his foot, only for it to be knocked back down by Ips arms.
Ren, charged in once again with a spinning side kick, Ip merely chopped the oncoming kick sending Ren to the ground. He then spun on the ground as Ip, jumped back dodging the low sweep.
He flipped himself back onto his feet, and threw a palm forward. Ip, dodged it and brought up his elbow next to Rens face.
"Touche." He said as a keyword for 'This would've hurt'. Ip then brought both palms and lightly slammed them into Ren's chest. "Touche, again." Ren attempted to grab Ip, who pushed his elbows upward bringing Ren off balance.
Ip, grabbed Ren by the ankle and flipped him over, and put his knee on his back. He then threw multiple feints to Rens face. "Touche, touche, touche again."
"Alright, you win." Ren said as Ip got off of him.
"Man, If those had actually hit…." Ren said as Ip chuckled.
"Awww, Ren lost!" Nora yelled from the sidelines alongside Pyrrha.
Pyrrha, then stood up."Ip, would you do me the honor, of giving me a spar as well?" Pyrrha asked as Ip nodded happily rolling his shoulder.
He once more brought his hand forward, with his elbows relaxed facing down. He opened his palm and tensed his fingers pointing outward. he brought his right hand in the same position but kept it closer to his body.
She charged in with a shield bash. Ip, with aura encased around both his arms slammed them into shield, in a specific way neutralizing the charge.
He then brought up his right leg, as Pyrrha attempted to block it with her shield, only to get hit in her right with his left leg.
She brought down her sword, as he used his forearm to hit her wrist, he then landed multiple chops on her right arm making her drop her sword.
Pyrrha, found it rather difficult to fight with Ip, due to the fact that he did not use a weapon she could not use her polarity to her advantage. Ip, on the other hand knew that fact and was using it to his advantage.
Using his foot, he placed it under the sword, and kicked it up towards Pyrrha who caught it. "Thank you." She said as she got back into her stance.
"No problem." Ip said as he stayed in his stance, Pyrrha was finding Ip's family style very hard to counter. The offense was great, but the defense of the style was better than any shield.
She decided to play a waiting game, which she sorely hated. She knew she could not win a waiting game so she charged in first. Ip, waited for her shield bash, and when he did he moved in between her and the shield meaning he was extremely close to her body.
He slammed a palm into her chest making her take multiple steps back. She was literally surprised she had never found a match back in Mistral, and everyone put her on a pedestal.
Ip, on the other hand was holding back on her, shes never had anyone do that for her before. She never had anyone who could beat her.
"I hope you do not mind, if I go on the offensive." Ip said as he began unrolling his sleeves slightly.
"No, go ahead." Pyrrha said as she stayed with her shield in front of her. He nodded and charged forward. He slammed an aura encased fist into her shield, as it strained from the blow, he then kicked her ankle making her lose balance.
She brought up her sword again, as he caught it between his palms. Using this she attempted to hit him with the side of her shield, only for a kick in the stomach to send her off her feet.
She flew back about ten feet and looked up to see her aura turning yellow, she looked at his to see that it was still fully green.
"That defense is impossible to break through." She thought as she stood up once again. She threw down her weapons deciding to rely on Mistral Jujitsu.
Ip, rose an eyebrow at this but accepted it and signaled her to come. As Pyrrha, charged forward she attempted to grab hold of Ip, which she did. She then threw him, only for him to change form in the air and flip her instead.
She ended up on the ground with him on top of her, their faces were inches from each other. "I think thats enough for today, you think so Pyrrha?"
"Y-y-yes." She blushed profoundly as he got off of her, little did they know their teammates were giving each other weird looks.
"(Don't make weird assumptions.)" Ip said as Ren scratched the back of his head.
"(Eh, how could we not.)" Ren said with a smile as his leader laughed. Pyrrha, and Nora on the other hand were once again left out of the conversation. Nora, jumped on Rens back in sadness.
"Ren~ Speak standard please~!" She yelled as he sighed.
"Pyrrha, good job I haven't fought like that in a while." Ip said with praise as Pyrrha blushed.
"O-oh! It was nothing you know, but you did good too I couldn't even break through your defenses." She said as he shook his hand in front of his chest.
"Cut yourself some slack Pyrrha, you could probably beat everyone else in our grade or even the higher classmen." Ip said.
"You think so?"
"I know so." He replied as everyone heard a beep. Ip, pulled out his scroll to see that he had gotten a message from Ruby.
"I have to go to Leader Workshop, see you guys at the dorm." Ip said as he left in a hurry.
Pyrrha, watched their leader run off and took a deep breath. She then remembered what had happened earlier and blushed.
"Come on Ren, let's spar!" Nora yelled as Pyrrha looked over at the two childhood friends and smiled.
"Nora, I'm tired I already got my butt handed to me by Ip." Ren said as he rolled his shoulders. Nora, gave Ren puppy dog eyes as he sighed.
"Fine, Pyrrha you gonna watch?" Ren asked as she nodded.
"Yeah, Ill just sit on the side, I'm kind of tired too."
(Ip)
As Ip, walked to where he was supposed to meet Ruby he suddenly had a migraine as the emblem began glowing once again.
He opened his eyes to see himself on a hill covered in various weapons. He looked over the horizon and widened his eyes to see thousands of dead bodies and even more weapons.
He felt sadness, and regret. He looked down at himself to see that he had been pierced by two spears and on his shoulder was an axe.
Was he seeing one of the lives of a master in the past? If so, why was he so sad, why did he feel this neverending sadness and regret.
The hands were bruised and battered as if they had been used profoundly, the knuckles showed white, which meant that it had been used until the skin was gone.
"Ip?" Ip snapped out of his stupor to see Ruby give him an odd look.
"Are you okay? We need to get to the workshop." Ruby said as he shook his head and smiled.
"Sorry, I was just thinking." He said as he extended his arm telling her to lead the way.
