+Third person POV+

Jaune Arc, Cinder Fall-Arc, Charlemagne Arc, and their recent addition Emerald Sustrai entered the school of hunters right on time. The three Arc's having found and picked up Emerald in Vale City the day before in order to save her from a life on the streets. The group had also decided on getting the poor girl some food, water, and clothes in order to gain some trust. Cinder and the green haired girl both hitting it off fairly well and Jaune of course being the ever so friendly boy had done his best to become friends with her too.

The blond boy did achieve some success, but she was still sore about being found out by him so they maintained a neutral and slightly positive relationship none the less.

Charlemagne however was the only one that Emerald seemed to react to in a negative way. The young brown skinned girl having trust issues with adults from her time in crappy orphanages and on the streets where she heard and saw the results of older men tricking younger girls. Initially she had not been trustful of Jaune either, but with some words from Cinder and Jaune displaying that he had no intentions of hurting her Emerald had decided to give him a chance.

It seemed Charlemagne would need some time in order to gain the same opportunity Jaune was given by the red eyed thief so the adult Arc had of course suggested getting Emerald food, water, and clothes for a start on the correct path to trust.

Anyways with their newest companion fed, hydrated, and wearing clean clothes the now group of four made their way to Patch and stayed in an Inn for the night.

Cinder being the only girl had to show Emerald how to take a shower, bath, use shampoo, conditioner, and explain what a toilet did as well as what toilet paper was. The experience mortifying the amber eyed girl and earning her a lot of teasing from her step father and step brother.

With night falling later the four had slept in separate beds and the two rooms Charlemagne had rented. Cinder and Emerald in one room and Jaune with his father in another. Originally Cinder was going to get her own room, but with their newest addition the older Arc had decided that the two would share the room.

Day came after a peaceful night of sleep for the four and after a hearty breakfast meal from the Inn and getting ready for the day it all leads to Now where the group walks into Beam Academy to meet the principal for Jaune's fight/test with said boy deciding to wear a newer outfit he had bought.

The meeting with the principal was Charlemagne and the older gentleman both confirming the deal and introducing themselves, along with the rest of the children politely saying hello as well.

Once that was done they all made their way to the arena where Jaune had met the person he would be challenging.

It was a blonde young girl with tanned skin, lilac eyes, and wearing a yellow shirt with a pair of brown shorts. Her name was Yang Xio-Long and she was the daughter of a well known huntsmen and teacher at Signal. Apparently she also had an Uncle who worked at the academy and her mother was a Huntress too. Funnily enough according to some rumors her father, mother, and uncle were all in the same team with another woman who had disappeared a while back.

Anyways Yang was apparently the number one fighter of Beam Academy of his age group and Jaune was going to fight her in order to enter the school for a chance to enter Beacon when he was older.

So Jaune did the smart thing and analyzed his opponent by using his skill ^Observe^ and to say he was disappointed was an under statement. The games alert had showed him:

(O!): Yang Xio-Long. Huntress in training. Ten Years old like yourself. Daughter of Raven Branwen and Taiyang Xio-Long. Title: Little Fire Dragon. Level: 13 Hp: 10,000 Mp: 0 Aura: 10,000. No semblance as of Yet, but when her hair is touched or her half sister Ruby is threatened she will become angrier and stronger as a result. Uses a combination of Gauntlets and shotguns as her weapon. Strengths: Anger, Family, Aura infusing, Punching : Slugger-Out Boxer style. Weakness: Arrogant, Short temper, Impatient, Predictable when enraged, Predictable, Hair, Kicks, Reckless with Aura. Special Trait: None. Currently the best fighter of your age group in Beam Academy.

With the upgrade to his skill over the three years, he had a lot of useful information for taking her down even more easily than he would have before. Add onto the fact that she used a boxing style and this match would be as good as over in a few short minutes.

The Arc boy sighed sadly and gave his father his sword and shield. He telling the older Arc "Hold these please. She seems to be a fist fighter and I want to try my hand to hand against hers." as he then entered the ring.

When Jaune entered the ring he was wearing his new outfit still. The young blond was now wearing a long sleeved gray shirt and black pants that were covered by a white chest piece and white shin guards the went up to his knees respectively. On his shoulders were two dark yellow pauldrons and two dark yellow grieves on his forearms. Covering his hands were two black fingerless gloves and on his feet were two dark grey boots. Finally flowing from his back was a black cape that bellowed out behind him. On it being the symbol of the Arc clan in yellow and right below it was a White Knight piece from chess.

Once he stood in the small arena Yang walked out in her current clothes with a confident stride and was earning cheers from her class mates at Beam.

Eventually the noise died down and the match was called to start. To call it a Fight was generous. It was a one sided slaughter with Jaune being the butcher and Yang being the lamb.

Yang being Impatient had sprinted to him when it began. She having her left fist cocked back and a smug smile on her face as she neared her opponent who did nothing to dodge her what so ever. But instead of feeling the softness of his cheek being smashed into her metal gauntlet like intended Yang felt her fist crash against something far more sturdier than what she thought skin could provide, but was proven wrong when she noticed that he had caught her fist with his hand.

It took a moment to realize that he hadn't been launched away by her Aura infused punch like everyone she had ever fought and had instead managed to counter her and retaliate. Retaliate strongly at that if the sudden large amount of pain coming from her core and the feeling of weightlessness that followed was to be believed. The next thing she knew was the ground rushing to meet her and hitting with enough force that darkness and pain would be all that greeted her after wards.

It only took One Punch from Jaune to defeat Yang and causing all of his year's age group to go agape at seeing some one beat The Yang Xio-Long. Of course before anything else could happen some one from the Audience yelled "I challenge you!" and hoped down into the arena with the blond boy.

The challenger that had decided to face Jaune had pale purple short hair that went into bangs over his forehead, and went a little below the neck. The new boy, for his form was certainly a males had green eyes that were reminiscent of Grass. He was wearing a dark purple sleeveless jacket that went to his knees and showed off his black tank top, and dark blue sweat pants. Covering his feet were black boots and on his forearms he was wearing white bandages that wrapped from his elbow down to and around his hands. The boys fingers poking out from them were the only amount of skin showing from the wrapping. Speaking of skin the new opponent had pale white skin that looked healthy despite the unnaturally white color.

Before Jaune could say anything, up from the spectator booth the principal had said "Mauve Straigh please return to the stands at once!" causing the now named Mauve to sigh and look up at the box while saying "Aww, but come on! This guy's pretty strong and I haven't had a good challenge in a while! Plus it looks like to me that he needs one as well after that fight." The purple haired boy saying fight with as much sarcasm was possible causing Jaune to chuckle lightly and look up as well to say "I don't mind. I could go for another round."

Over the speaker the principal sighed exasperated and said "Very well. Begin however and whenever you want for all I care." as he then left the two boys to their devices.

Jaune looked over to Mauve and said "My names Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you." as he did a friendly smile which caused Mauve to smirk lightly and say "Mauve Straigh as you may have heard. Shall we begin?" causing the Arc to grin and say "Lets." before going into his martial art stance and using ^Observe^ once more. The game alert saying:

(O!) Mauve Straigh. In every video game there is a Rival for the main character. His complete opposite in almost every way personality wise. The Rival being the only one strong enough to push the main character to their very limits. A Rival usually have the same Stats except for a few. Be warned Mauve Straigh is that Rival for you! Level: 35 HP: 40,000, Mp: 20,000, Aura: 40,000, KI: 9,500, Chakra: 10,500, and Power: 8,500. Title: The Rival, Player Two, The Gamer. Semblance: Sage Boost; The ability to draw more Aura from Nature and gain a large bonus to all stats. Special Trait: Riot Javelin; When all Hp, Mp, Aura, Ki, Chakra, and Power are low or about to run out instead of Attacks not dealing as much damage, they are in fact massively Increased. He is currently one year older than you and is consider The Best Fighter of Beam. Fights to win and survive. Class: Anti-Hero. Usually uses a dust enhanced Axe, two chained dust enhanced short blades that can be attached to his gauntlets, the environment: Sand, Dirt, High Ground, etc, and his right gauntlet can extend into a round shield. Currently using fists. Ability: Recall; When putting a piece of Aura into his Axe it becomes a part of him for a short amount of time and when thrown the Axe shall always return.

Now the blond was both excited and nervous at facing down this new foe. Mauve apparently was his Rival and on top of that, the boy was a Gamer just like himself. Jaune wondered what Skills Mauve had chosen, what Skills he had been given, what Skills he had learned. The Recall ability also had interested the Arc and he wondered if he could do it as well.

In the end both grinned at one another and charged forwards. A battle for the ages between two equal opponents: Rivals until the end, had begun.

((And that is all for now, I hope you all enjoyed.

I also hope you all like my OC Mauve Straigh.

I designed him to be Jaune's complete and total opposite in almost every way. Even the names are opposites. Jaune in French means Yellow, Mauve in French is Purple. On the color wheel Yellow and Purple are opposites.

Arc's are curved lines and Straigh is just Straight with out the T at the end.

It also represents what he is. Straigh sounds like Stray and Anti-Heroes are Stray heroes who fight for their own reasons and do things a normal hero would never do.

Yes I based his weapons off God Of War 4 Kratos, but the round shield is significantly different almost opposite of a Kite-shield which Jaune uses.

An Axe I always thought was the opposite of a sword and unlike Jaune who refuses to wield ranged weapons, Mauve has ranged weapons which happen to be chained short blades.

Sage Boost is the opposite of Aura Amplification in the way that it comes from Nature and not from themselves.

Recall is just a special ability that can be used by people who have enough mastery over Aura, like how Ren can use Aura to enhance his punches or the blades on storm flower.

Anyways see you soon for the next chapter of Saiyan Soul Arc.

King Out.

Peace.))
