Sorry for the late update been busy with work and day-to-day life. Even if updates are late, it doesn't mean that they won't come out. It'll just take a while. Anyway, here you go. I hope you enjoy it. Also sorry for the short chapter.


"So then, anyone in need of a partner?" those were the words Jaune said moments prior, hoping that he could still be in a team with his friends well past friends from another life technically.

"THAT WAS AWESOME!!! YOU WERE LIKE SWOOSH CLANG THEN 'You might want to stand back.' THAT WAS LIKE THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!'" looking down at the one speaking, Jaune noticed that it was Ruby in all her hyperactive Glory, making hand gestures of the moves he had done before. "YEAH, THAT WAS SO FREAKING COOL HOW DID YOU DO ALL THAT" Next up came Nora, who was just as excited as Ruby was.

From Jaune's expression, Ren, Blake, and Weiss noticed his aversion to the questioning. Ren decided to help Jaune by grabbing Nora while gesturing to Yang with a nod to grab Ruby and dragging them away from Jaune. With a relieved sigh, Jaune looked toward the two with a grateful gaze. The two smiled as their respective somebody finally calmed down. Bringing himself together, Jaune introduced himself. "Thank you for that. Anyway, my name is Jaune Arc, and as for how I did all that, let's say Aura helped in that regard."

"Your Proficiency in Aura must be at a higher degree. I've never seen anyone able to carry out moves like that." hearing Ren's amazement, Jaune said the only thing that came to mind, "Just a lot of training. If you'd like, I can teach you how to do it." Ren nodded, grateful at the opportunity to learn something new.

"Well then, since you gave us your name, my name is Lie Ren." With Ren giving out his name first, everyone else did the same. "Ruby Rose," "Yang Xiao Long," "Blake Belladonna," "Weiss Schnee," "Nora Valkyrie," "Pyrrha Nikos," "It's nice to meet you all. Again, my name is Jaune Arc, and I hope we can get along." with all said everyone turned toward the ruined temple which somehow is still standing. Jaune seeing the last chess piece, walked toward it picking it up. Seeing that it was a Rook piece, the last one, he turned back to the group noticing that Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha raised their hands with the same Rook piece as him smiling at him.

"looks like we're partners then." saying that, Pyrrha smiled at Jaune, happy to know that they'll be partners. "Yeah, pleased to meet you, Partner." as they all move toward the bullheads, no one notices someone looking at them from above.


Beacon Academy: Amphitheater

"Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, the four of you retrieved the white rook piece." in a large room known as the amphitheater, students were looking on at the stage where their principal and vice deputy and a group for students stand. Teams in Beacon Academy put together in two ways, getting a set of four-piece chess pieces and their compatibility fighting with each other in dangerous environments.

So in the case of those that have partners, they will be put together with others to form a group of four. However, keep in mind not all Teams are formed ideally, such as in the case of team CRDL (Cardinal), where Cardin Winchester and Russell Thrush were teamed with Dove Bronzewing and Sky Lark even though the four have never fought together as teammates but do to them all having the Black Bishop Ozpin decided to make them into a team.

Now then, you may be wondering what the reason for you to know these. It is simple, really Jaune Arc, the Partner of Pyrrha Nikos. He hasn't worked with either Pyrrha or his new teammates, so Ozpin doesn't know how well their team synergy will work, but that's why there are team battles/practices with Glynda as their combat instructor.

"From this day forward, you are Team JNPR (Juniper)." Jumping in exhilaration, Nora hugged Ren as he tried to calm her down. He also gave a small smile while Jaune and Pyrrha turned their heads to them and smiled at their excitement. As they were doing these, Ozpin had trouble deciding who would be the team's leader but chose to do something different than usual.

"Usually, there would be a clear choice on who to be the team leader, but from what we have seen, no one here has shown a straightforward take on leadership, and Mister Arc arrived much later than most due to that. I have decided to leave it until there is a possibility of leadership shown among the four of you during combat class, so until then, we'll leave it at that." once said Ozpin motioned to the team to leave the stage as everyone else clapped their hands. Next to get up the Stage was Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Yang Xiao Long, and Blake Belladonna, which Ozpin named Team RWBY (Ruby).

As all this was going down, Jaune looked on, lost in his thoughts of the future and the demon that showed up at the ruins. He couldn't figure out why. Why now did a demon appear in this Timeline? Nothing in his memories, as the Rusted Knight indicated that a demon would appear he-"Jaune." "huh" Breaking from his thoughts, Jaune turned to his Partner. "You, okay" "Ah yeah, sorry, just lost in thought, is all. " "Hmm, okay, come on there, showing us to our dorm rooms now." nodding his head, Jaune followed after the crowd that was leaving.

'I should look into any story or rumors about demons on the web and in Beacon's Library. After all, if the four maidens are genuine, who to say that Demons aren't?' as Jaune walks out, he looks at the clear sky above, hoping that it will stay that way and that the events that happened in his first life won't happen again. While also worrying about new threats that will appear this time around.


So this is the end of this part, and again, sorry for the late update got really into Honkai stair rail and dot Hack G.u's last recode, so that got in my way of writing this chapter. I will still update, but it will take a while. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it.
