"Congratulations." Nyarlat said while looking down at Jaune who was currently trying not to puke his entrails to the ground. "You finally made a full lap around Vale."
As Jaune laid there on the pavement, he began to wonder if he could go back to being bullied than being trained. After the whole hunting done in the Emerald Forest she had decided to train Jaune in order to avoid, in her own words embarrass her due to his lack of ability.
This training started one week ago and it began with her waking him up at four in the morning in order to run all around Vale… Like all around in the literal sense of going to every street through every single route and if he didn't complete five laps he would be beaten up.
Then there was the weight and abdomen training that involved Jaune making a thousand push-ups, sit-ups and bench presses while Nyarlat constantly added weight, making things more and more difficult. If Jaune wasn't able to do a thousand of each exercise he would be beaten up by Nyarlat.
And then there was the combat training in which she… Beat him up without a second thought all while Jaune tried and failed to land hits. This training was going to become the reason of why Jaune became a villain or some shit.
"I would clap for you…" Nyarlat said with a wide smile. "But sadly you didn't complete the entire race so I hope you enjoy being a dummy."
"Please… Please let me rest a little." Jaune begged while trying to make his legs work once again. "Or at least let me stop my head from spinning all over the place."
Nyarlat looked down at Jaune with serious and silent expression, she looked at Jaune straight to the eye making the young man to close his eyes and grit his teeth together.
"Okay."
Jaune opened his eyes just to be welcomed by the girl leaning down and pulling something out of his pants.
"As punishment you will buy me a drink." She said while showing him his wallet. "While you remain here resting and thirsty."
…Was it to late to go back to her beating the ever loving shit out of him?
"Are you okay Jaune?" Pyrrha asked the young man.
"Ah." Jaune said while looking up from his food. "Y-Yeah, what were we talking about?"
He was confused. After the morning run Nyarlat had forced him to do the weight and abdomen training, she had passed those minutes insulting him and degrading him to the point, it would make a grown man cry in the spot… Jaune was still going to cry but he was going to do it in the shower like real men do.
But what had left the boy be so confused was that he (like it was to assume) had failed the both sessions and in both cases Nyarlat hadn't beaten half to death, instead opting for punishments such as carrying her back to her room, or going to the store and buying her a snack.
What had happened?
And then it arrived, the most dreadful moment of Jaune's training. Combat, this time she was teaching him how to box.
This had gone like usual at the beginning, him being blitzed and punched into submission. Then it happened, he threw a punch that had missed. It was in that moment that Nyarlat had come to a full on stop and shouted at him to fix himself.
She had stopped her assault to chastise him and tell him things such as rising his arms to block better, how he needed to punch with the whole body, the way his feet should be. Just for the whole thing to devolve into her completely dominating the fight.
"We're making plans to put a stop to Nyarlat." Weiss told the boy.
Since Mammon had freed him from being manipulated (If the Pyrrha incident was to prove anything was that she could only freeze them in place) they had become extremely protective of him. Making routes to reduce the times he would encounter her and helping him hide from her and pulling him out of the room before she could pull a stunt in the middle of the cafeteria.
"This time we will not escape from her." Yang informed him. "We will wait for her to get close to the table and then… We will jump at her."
"We're going to scare her." Blake reminded the brawler. "If we try to attack her while she controls Goodwitch we will end up getting expelled in the best case scenario."
"Guys focus." Ruby whispered or at least she thought she did. "She could arrive at any moment."
They all looked at the door, waiting for her t suddenly appear by banging the doors open it would have been neat for her to also start monologuing and laughing like maniac.
"Weird." Nora said while looking back at the group. "It always happens l-"
The doors had been opened, not in a dramatic fashion, or with a terrifying voice boasting about how great she was. No. It had been open like any other person will open the door, and it had been done by none other than Nyarlat.
She looked around and located them. With a bored pace she went right to the group of friends and took seat besides Jaune, took a plate from the rows that were in the middle of the table and began to pick up food and serving herself some chicken, salad and pasta.
She kept on munching on her food with a bored expression before noting how silent the people around her were being. She looked up and saw that every single one of them was looking at her in shock.
"What?" She asked the group. "Keep on jabbering you fools, your useless conversation amuses me."
"…Aren't you going to torture Jaune?" Blake ask all of the sudden, causing the Jaune to look at her with wide betrayed eyes. "What? You were wondering the same thing."
"I don't feel like it." She said before taking a piece of steak to her mouth. Wait, when did she grab steak? Jaune looked down just to find part of his food was gone, as if him noticing had encouraged her Nyarlat sank her fork in her food before changing her objective to Jaune's food. "I'm way too tired."
"Since when are you too tired to hurt me." Jaune asked the girl all of the sudden.
"Why don't you shut up faker?" Nyarlat said in reference of something only she and Jaune knew about. Jaune immediately went to his steak and potatoes. "Not so brave now huh?"
"Stop tormenting Jaune." Pyrrha said all of the sudden.
"…And what exactly are you going to do about it?" Nyarlat said with a smile akin to cat's "I know you already understand my Semblance but don't you go assuming that I cannot make your life hell just because you became a little more difficult to control."
"That's enough." Jaune told the Nyarlat. "I don't care if you threaten me but don't talk down to my friends."
Nyarlat looked at him for a few seconds before pinching his cheek and pulling it.
"When the fuck did you become this arrogant? Nyarlat asked while Jaune tried to pull his cheek away from her. "You're still a millions years too young to order me around."
Jaune didn't knew what possessed him but he did the same. He began to pinch the cheek of the cosmic terror without a single bit of hesitation.
"And since when are you so nice?" Jaune asked while Nyarlat made some pained noises. "At this point you would have burned me alive."
"Oh? So you're waiting for me to punish you? You perverted masochist!"
"I'm not a masochist you little bitch."
"Bitch!? You want me to end my kindness!? Eh!? You damn punk!?"
"Go ahead! Let's see if the training you've been using as an excuse is really as good as you want to make it appear!"
While the two of them attacked each other with verbal assault after verbal assault the seven teenagers that had previously been plotting for the end of the evil in the school were now looking at the two in pure confusion.
"Hey." Blake said in pure shock. "Aren't the two of them getting along?"
"You watch way to many Mistralian series." Ren told the faunus.
Jaune felt like floating which meant a single, he was dreaming. He actually had high hopes for his night of sleep. Nyarlathotep had been behaving in an incredible manner today so he was ready to get into the light punishment he was about to receive.
"Quit smiling." Sounded the voice of Nyarlat right beside him.
He looked to the right just to find it empty, he then looked down and saw that Nyarlat was sitting on the floor with a controller in her hand, in fact something that he hadn't notice was that there was a big T.V right in front of the girl.
"What are we playing?" Jaune asked the girl in a calm manner before sitting down.
"We're playing a fighting game, a FPS and a turn based strategy game." She informed him while handing him his own controller.
Jaune smiled, it sounded like this was going to be fun.
The fighting game was something he had never seen before… In the aspect of characters, the gameplay was the same as the majority of the games. He picked a character with blonde hair and a blue outfit while Nyarlat chose a character with a bag over his head and doctor's coat.
The moment the game allowed them to fight, the first one to move was Nyarlat who had hit a single button that caused the doctor to attack him with a scalp.
The moment the hit connected he could feel the sharpness of the instrument sinking into his stomach, threatening to open him up.
"Oop." Nyarlat said with smug smile. "I forgot to tell you that you will suffer all of the injuries your character suffers."
"Why you little." Jaune muttered while pressing his own attack button.
The game continued like this, Jaune grunting and biting his own tongue whenever he felt the different medical instruments cutting through his body. He noticed something weird however and that was that when he landed his combo Nyarlat had to stop just to take a deep breath.
"You've done it now. You foolish advisor." She said while giving him a death glare.
