Jaune winced at the pain that lingered on the side of his cheek as his vision cleared, revealing a red-faced Ruby, a downcast Pyrrha, a saddened Weiss, and looks of shock on neighbouring faces.

"Shut up, both of you!" shouted Ruby whos anger matched theirs combined. "We're not supposed to be fighting; we're supposed to be friends! Especially now, when we're being put in this mission together!"

A little under a minute has gone by, but no sound was made, almost eerily.

"Jaune, Weiss didn't say those words to hurt you, but to help you. Not because you needed help, but that she, we care for you, as your friends." Ruby said after having calmed down. "To be quite honest, Weiss, it could've been said with a duller edge.

"I'm sorry, Jaune, I was unaware of the harsh words I must've spouted in my anger. "Weiss said apologetically.

Jaune sighed. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have taken my frustration on you like that." Jaune apologized in return.

"Jaune," came Pyrrha's gentle voice. "Would you like a hug to maybe cheer you up?" Asked Pyrrha, arms outstretched.

Jaune flushed red. "No, really that is alrig-"

"GROUP HUG!" exclaimed Nora excitedly grabbing everyone in her arm's reach, putting Jaune and Pyrrha together in the middle. After this close proximity ended, the cafeteria reverted back to its noisy atmosphere.

"Hey, so these things are like super tough, right?" Asked Yang.

"The Grimm?" started Pyrrha. "Why yes they-"

"Cool."Yang interrupted."I say we get some training done so that we kick serious butt, or it's our serious butts that will get kicked."

"That actually isn't a bad idea, considering the lack of improvement after only fighting Beowolves." said Blake supporting Yang's idea. "This could allow us to make up for that, having one concentrated training session."

"So how will we go about doing this?" asked Ren.

"Easy! Everyone, take this sorting chart!" said Ruby, taking out a sheet of paper, which had rectangular line patterns.

"When did you have time to pull this off?" said Yang

"Just thought this would come handy at the right time is all." Ruby responded.

"Oh." muttered Ruby.

"Huh?" said Jaune, confused.

"The results are Jaune vs Pyrrha, Nora vs Ren… Me vs Weiss… …and Blake vs Yang…"said Ruby, almost disappointedly.

"Something tells me that we did not need this sorting chart." remarked Blake.

"Well, we'll each have our matches in 5 minutes." directed Ruby. "That will give us enough time to change into combat gear and head to the training facilities."

"Not everyone changes as fast as you do, Ruby." Yang teased.

"You're only saying that because you take a whole RvB season to change, and those take forever!" Ruby joked back.

"Touche."

"Anyway, be at the training facilities by 2 o clock afternoon."

Jaune's match with Pyrrha was similar to all the training sessions they had together back on the rooftop. Pyrrha stood there, waiting for Jaune to make the first move. Jaune lunged forward, quickly unsheathing his sword and bringing out his shield just as quick. He aimed a strike towards her stomach and Pyrrha brought her own shield deflecting the attack and aimed a kick at his side. Jaune sidestepped out of the way only to be pinned to the ground by Milos in its javelin form. He took Milos and hurled it aside. Having received some distance, Jaune decided to await Pyrrha's next move, in a defending position. Pyrrha started a sprint towards her partner and began to kick, only to miss him by a fraction of an inch as he barely dodged her attack. Upon Pyrrha's landing near Jaune, she retrieved Milos shifting it to its dagger form, aiming a swipe at his stomach. Jaune barely got his shield up in time to deflect it. She then kicked at his legs and pinned him down with Milos in its javelin form.

"Haha, you've improved quite a lot." Pyrrha congratulated as though Jaune was the victor. "I'm sure you'll fare well in the upcoming mission."

"Heh, thanks Pyrrha!" laughed Jaune sheepishly, as Pyrrha pulled him up.

Jaune was in a woods. Forever Fall? Red trees, Grimm stampings, it's gotta be. Jaune heard faint screaming in the distance. Pyrrha! He ran, like he was fleeing from the deadliest of Grimm, but he feared that he may be running towards one. When he arrived at the scene of incidence, he found Pyrrha laying there, blood seeping from her stomach forming a pool of blood. Why had it been her? WHY? Jaune heard heavy snarling behind him. Turning around, Jaune found himself face to face for the creature responsible for Pyrrha's life. It had the figure of a lion, but the face… Lie Ren? 'Jaune' It was calling it's name. 'Jaune!' With each call getting progressively louder.

"Jaune! Wake up!"

"Huh?" muttered Jaune, he looked around to see Ren sitting on the bed next to him. There didn't seem to be anyone else but the two.

"I told the others to go on ahead, I had to make further preparations."
