Jaune was up for most of the night worrying about the matter of his transcripts. The next morning he went to work forging a set of them. It took some time and effort as he needed to make a record that would be good enough for beacon, but not so good that anyone would have already heard of him or feel the need to check his story. He had finally finished and nervously click the option to submit his transcripts.

When he did, he received an alert on his screen. After the initial panic that he had been found out already had passed he read the alert. ALERT APPLICATION FOR THIS STUDENT HAS ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED. PLEASE SUBMIT A NON- ACTIVE STUDENT ENTRY FORM. He re-read it three or four more times to make sure that he read it properly. If he was already submitted and on a list of active students then did that mean... Quickly he searched the school website and went to the list of students. He scrolled to the "A" section and sure enough, Jaune Arc was a student.

He thought and then it clicks. " you have friends in high places kid" Saint had said this must have been them. Having handled the task of the day he made his way out into Vale. he found a stack of lien hidden in the bedroom with a note saying to spend it right. He made his way down to a small bakery around the corner and went inside.

The man behind the counter was intimidating he was a little over 6ft tall and weighed about 200 pounds. All of it muscle. " what can I get for you today son" he said, his voice full of joy " we got bagels, donuts, even breakfast sandwiches on all manner of bread including a specialty from my homeland called Rewena."

Jaune needed a minute to think. He settled on an egg and sausage sandwich on a Rewena bun. He wasn't sure what that was but the man seemed to like the idea so he went with it. The man soon brought him a sandwich. He took a bite and decided that it was one of the best choices he had ever made.

The Rewena tasted like sourdough and it went well with the sausage. Soon he finished and the man brought him his check and after reading it to ensure he did the made right the man laughed. " ha, 1911 my old service number."

this sparked curiosity in Jaune " you were a soldier?" the man's face hardened for a moment and Jaune worried he had made a mistake before the man's face lightened again and he said " I was but I managed to escape, you see, it wasn't like with your armies where you sign up me and all my fellow soldiers were never given a choice, we lived only to die for our government in a war we had no hand in starting. Some days I wonder about all the brothers I left behind when I left. They were all good people just too blind to see the truth, too blinded by loyalty and trust to see they were nothing more than cannon fodder for the repu… the government where I come from. A friend saw my plight and helped me escape a bad situation and brought me here. Don't worry the government that enslaved me and my brothers isn't here and it never will be. I will fight it in any form. The name's slick by the way. Yours?" My name's Jaune. Nice to meet you sick."

after paying his bill he wandered around Vale for a few more hours. He didn't really experience anything major until after nightfall, however. It was around ten at night when he was heading back to his safehouse.

He heard it before he saw them. A stampede of people followed by the sound of gunshots. Quickly he put his bag down on the sidewalk and removed the C.A.S.A.C.O.M. from within. Then he strapped it to his leg as he also put the earpiece in his ear. The visor opened and map opened up and showed where the gunfire was coming from. A night club nearby. He ran to the door and threw it open, inside was not something he had expected. One of the most beautiful women he had ever seen was standing in the middle of the dance floor. She was fighting what appeared to be the entire club.

He thought for a moment and decided that distressed or not he was going to help the damsel. " dad you there?" he asked [ yes I am, what's up son] " do I have any non lethal munitions" [ yes you do all the red bottomed mags are non lethal stun rounds] [ why? Everyone here has an aura reading] the second question went unanswered as Jaune never heard it while loading the mag he accidentally bumped the mute option for the program. He slipped a red mag into the mag well and racked the slide. Then he charged in headlong bull rushing and ramming the nearest man. After carrying him for a few steps he quickly slammed him down and pumped two stun rounds into his solar plexus. Taking the wind from his lungs and taking him from the fight.

He quickly found himself back to back with the blonde boxer and said " hello my name's Jaune, nice to meet you beautiful." he knew that opening like that would either end wonderfully or in disaster.

"someone feels cocky, why are you here. Saving the girl from the bad guys." She asked with a mischievous smile on her face

Jaune gave a dry laugh before responding " well why you are quite the Damsel, you appear to be the one causing all the distress. I simply wanted this to be a 30 on 2 fight rather than a 30 on 1. I also could help but save such an amazing pair of gauntlets."

Yang failing to realize that he literally meant ember Celica thought he was referring to another pair of things she was also proud of. " well " she said " someone is very forward"

Jaune still referring to the Gauntlets continued with " well, of course, if you don't mind, I would to get my hands on them and see how they feel. Also, whoever made them was clearly a master. They truthfully are among the many wonders of this world.

Yang was speechless many boys and even a few men had made passes at her, but this was a whole new level. She had no experience with someone like this. " well " she said again, hoping she didn't sound like an idiot " while flattery gets you many things my "gauntlets" aren't one of them, not until I know you better and decide whether you are worthy or not" she hoped that would be the end of it. She could blame the shade of her face on the exertion of the fight if the genuine adoration she was being shown kept up it might not be so easy.

" well that's just fine, things such as those are worth waiting for, they really are quite marvelous... Well, what do you know the fight appears to be over." Yang was starting to turn colors. He wasn't being lewd or she could tell him off for it. He wasn't being pushy or she could break his hands. What's more, she could tell that he meant every word he had said. Thankfully the fighting was over and she could finally leave. " Melanie, who are these two?" came a rather snotty voice.

"I don't know, but I wanna kill the tall one" her sister answered

Yang and Jaune both looked confused as it was Yang who started the brawl. " may I ask why me" Jaune said voice full of worry.

" if it weren't for you we could have already dealt with the blonde bitch and gotten back to our night." Jaune fought back a laugh " well for what it is worth, I don't think you could have taken her even if I wasn't here." having had enough of arguing she lunged at him and tried to plant her boot in his chest. Only to have it parried by Yang. Jaune went to counter-attack when he saw a huge man with a rocket launcher attempt to draw a bead on Yang.

Acting fast Jaune ran into attack range and threw a right straight. The man dodged and countered with a series of strikes that didn't seem to do much until he looked down and saw that he had six red lights on his vest. "Those are grenades by the way." the man said.

Jaune immediately ripped the vest off before throwing it at the man and running to join the other Blonde. He made it three steps before he heard the blast. He was rocked forward a few feet and quickly rolled forward and to his feet, putting once again back to back with Yang. " this guy seems to have my number." he said, " do you mind trading dance partners?"

With a quick nod Yang ran off to fight the other man. " well, well looks like it's just the two of you and me" he said, placing his gaze back on the apparent sisters. He knew he would have a very hard time winning out in the open so he quickly lead them into the men's restroom he spotted on his way in.

Once they were inside, he could limit their mobility and have better odds of surviving. He was content to block and shove them until they gave up. That however changed when one of them kicked him in the throat and then tried to stab him. Only when the bladed gauntlet landed it seemed to stop on his chest. It still stung, but he was able to shove the blade away before whatever was protecting him gave way. " you just tried to kill me" he yelled.

His chivalry having been left behind by a pure burning hatred. He grabbed the marble sink and ripped a piece of it off. He wasn't sure when he became so strong, but he wasn't going to question it now.

The one who kicked him seemed to realize how much shit she just stepped in and tried to attack in a panicked head kick. This proved to be a bad idea as Jaune ducked the kick and using the chunk of marble like a set of brass knuckles he brought his fist up and struck the arrogant brat in her crotch with so much force that she was thrown across the room.

When he heard her scream in pain he knew that his guess was well founded and that being hit in the crotch sucked no matter who you were.

Speedly turning and grabbing the other by her left hand he pulled and kicked her feet from under her. Then he spun in a circle and threw her at the wall next to her sister. She hit the wall back first and slid to the ground. She had almost recovered when the large piece of marble crashed into her own crotch.

...

Yang had just punched Junior out of his own nightclub when she turned her attention back to... John that was what he had called himself right. She found him over by the bar with a pair of ice packs in his hands. She watched him walk over to the twins, she fought earlier and handed one to each of them. Then much to Yang's surprise they both instant shoved the ice packs in between their legs.

Once they were situated over in a few chairs he walked over to Yang. " what happened to those two?" She said not sure what could have done that to them. Jaune still a little mad about almost being killed simply growled about being struck with a very hard object. Yang, of course, took this the wrong way and thought that in the time that she was gone, he had managed to bed both of them. " well " she said for the third time tonight " whatever works for you, John."

"It's Jaune actually, also besides having to deal with those two, I had fun tonight. What do you say we meet up at this address" as he spoke he wrote the address of the small bakery down and gave her the skip of paper. "Tomorrow morning and see about getting into a bar fight ?" Yang thought for a moment and decided that it couldn't be that bad. " sure, see you then."

After stripping off the remainder of his clothes Jaune climbed into bed as the program of his father watched him. While it couldn't say anything, it could more than see and hear what happened [ well Jaune, it thought. You are your father's son].
