Yang fell back to lay on the floor of the arena just staring at the ceiling. "That... Is a lot to take in..." The explanation had been a long one, going from what an adept was, to what had really happened the night before. She could at least feel better about that fact that he wasn't being bullied. But to know that there were people out there that could literally fly around, firing beams from their hands and shit... It was, overwhelming. She looked to the rest of the team to see how they were taking it. Blake was stuck in a sort of contemplation/realization of what Jaune had just explained to them. Ruby had an awe struck look in her eyes as she had finally gotten herself to calm down, though she still wouldn't let Jaune's arm go, and was excitedly asking him questions about being an adept. And Weiss, she was just staring at Jaune halfway between a glare and if she wasn't reading it wrong, hurt. Why? Yang for the life of her couldn't figure it out.

"Yeah, it's a lot to explain too. Gonna have to tell my team next, since I'm sure Red here." He wiggled his arm and smiled as it caused the girl to giggle. "Won't let me go without telling them, even though I'll be telling the whole school next Saturday." Seeing the girl nodding to affirm his theory he chuckled and shook his head before looking over to Weiss. "So princess." He paused when he saw her flinch at her new nickname. Okay even he had to admit he was being a bit hostel. Taking a quick second he tried to use a friendlier tone. "How did you know I was an Adept?"

Weiss sighed her glare faltering as she looked to him. "My sister Winter is one too... My mom's side of the family, like yours, have Adepts in the line. So she spends a lot of time with my uncle and away from home training..." She looked away. She hated that she was jealous of her sister for being an Adept, but she missed her much more then anything else. At first it didn't seem that bad, they both had their own training, and their father was of course against it. She knew they were fortunate that their mother had stepped in and convinced her father that it was necessary to protect themselves. He couldn't argue against that. The family had made many enemies due to her father's more questionable business practices after all. But what she hadn't expected was her little sister to be gone so often. As it had turned out training as an Adept wasn't something you just mastered. Even as they grew in strength, it just meant the need to refine more, perfect more. And that stole Winter away from home for longer periods of time. Weiss wished she had taken the offer to speak with her sister yesterday. But she felt she had to stay to the schedule they had planed. A fine excuse...

"Wait." Jaune's voice snapped her out of her thoughts as she looked to him. "You mean Winter Schnee? Sixteen, mid length white hair, sorta icy blue eyes, maybe just barely taller then Red here?" He asked poking the girl in the forehead.

Weiss blinked confused. "Um, yeah. That's what my sister looks like... But how did you know?"

Jaune let out a short laugh shaking his head. "Oh wow, I didn't know she was your sister. We met about 2 years ago at a martial arts tournament that takes place on an island just off the coast of Menagerie."
He looked up while stroking his chin. "We were actually in the finals for the age 13-18 competition."

Weiss could only stare at the blonde with wide eyes. He...he knows Winter? He fought Winter!?

"Haha~ Who won in the end? Your or the sister of the Ice Queen?" Yang's laughter snapped Weiss from her mental brake down and leveled a cold glare on the girl.

Jaune gave a simple shrug and smiled. "She won in the end. I think we fought for a good hour and she was able to knock me to the ground outside the ring." he gave a slight smirk as he thought back on the tournament. Since then the two had somewhat kept in touch, Winter mostly wanting to know when he would be at the tournament again so they could have a rematch, if he was lucky he could go this year.

"Why would knocking you out of the ring make you lose? I mean you can fly?" Ruby cocked her head to the side as she looked up to Jaune. "Shouldn't it go off of an aura gauge like most tournaments do?"

Jaune shook his head. "Nah, martial art's competitions run a bit differently. Most of the people that take part are Adepts like me, or people that have trained to use their ki rather then any kind of aura. Because of that no one uses their Aura and it can't really be monitored." He held up three fingers. "In the tournament there are three rules. No weapons of any kind(unless your a Faunus with claws or whatever), no hitting below the belt-" he gave a nod of understanding to Sun and Neptune as they cringed. "-and no killing your opponent. As well as there are four ways to lose. If you give up, get knocked out, kill your opponent, or if you land outside the ring."

"Wait." Blake looked to Jaune a bit shocked at the explanation of the rules. "They actually have to have a rule against killing? Shouldn't that be an unspoken rule...?"

Jaune gave a slight shrug. "I heard from my mom that it was about 50 years or so ago, but a lot of people took winning to seriously and as a result people lost their lives. So they made it an official rule that if you kill your opponent your out." He chuckled slightly at the incredulous looks he received for the explanation. "Hey, you can look at me like that all you want, but since it was put in place there's only been one since."

Ruby pulled on his arm slightly to get him to look down and her. "Can I ask something, Jaune?"

"Sure Red, what's up?"

He watched with a bit of anxiety as her eyes filled with stars, right then he knew he was going to regret okaying this.

"Well, you said that other normal people can be taught how to use this Ki stuff right?" She paused as he gave a nervous nod. "Sooooo~ Can you teach me how to fly!?" She quickly put on her best puppy dog eyes as Jaune coughed audibly in shock.

The other five in the room immediately sat up in attention looking, baring Weiss who was trying to hide it, excited by his possible answer.

"Uh...well I..." He looked to the others that were eyeing him waiting for the answer. 'The one time I need Nora to change the subject and she's not here.' He have a defeated sigh before answering. "In theory I could..."

Yang raised an eyebrow at him looking none too pleased by his answer. "In theory? What the heck do you mean by that?"

"Didn't you just finish explaining to us that normal people can learn how to use Ki, Jaune?" Blake had chimed in cutting off Yang. The thought of being able to fly was a very interesting prospect. Not only would it be an amazing thing to experience, it would also give them an edge over their enemies. Both the Grimm and the White fang. "Are you saying that's not true now?"

Jaune shook his head quickly. "No no! It is true." He quickly amended himself. "It's just that I've never taught anyone how to draw out their ki before. Teaching you how to fly is the easy part, like riding a bike, once you get the hang of it you just remember how to do it."

"Then I don't see what the problem is, Vomit Boy. After all you owe us for lying to us all this time." Yang smirked as Jaune flinched back a bit for that reminder.

Jaune sighed as Ruby continued to hit him with the sad puppy dog look. "Look I'll make you a deal. You convince Ozpin to let me teach you, and I'll give it a shot." He held up a hand to stop Yang's protest. "Look I'm already in enough trouble with Goodwitch because of me and Coco's training sessions destroying training grounds. I'm not taking the chance that they won't just kick me out for doing this behind their backs too."

"Then let's go talk to him right now~!" Ruby jumped up still holding onto Jaune's arm and started to drag him out of the arena.

"Hey Ruby! Hold on!" Jaune started to stand to stop her only to find his left leg being lifted up by Yang.

"Oh no you don't." She smirked as they continued to walk the defeated Jaune towards Ozpin's office.

Blake stood watching the exchange before looking back to Weiss with a raised eyebrow. She only sighed in response and shook her head before following the three. After a second Blake gave a soft chuckle and followed as well with Neptune and Sun not far behind.

The trip to the elevators had been humiliating to say the least for Jaune. Having to be carried by the two girls in such a way past multiple people, he was sure that rumors where going to start forming soon. Coupled with the fact that the two had literally thrown him into the elevator to the office, it just didn't seem to be his week at all. He sighed as the elevator continued it's accent to the headmaster's office, Ruby was excitedly talking about what she would do once she got the hang of flying. Mostly trips to Vale for cookie runs. He couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm while shaking his head. He was honestly hoping the headmaster would turn down the request, mostly because he would have to contact his mom for tips, and that was a road that led to the humiliation by his sisters. Had to have your priorities in order after all... A moment later the doors to the office finally opened and the small group entered into room.

"My my, this is quiet the unexpected visit?" Ozpin raised eyebrow at the group, two of which were dragging Jaune once more. "May I ask what this is about Ms. Rose?"

Ruby smiled brightly as she and Yang pushed Jaune forward. "Go on Jaune, tell him our idea!"

Jaune quickly caught himself and spun around to face them. "Oh no. The deal was that YOU had to convince the headmaster." He quickly took flight. "You need me, I'll be on the giant spinning cog wheel." With that he floated up to the giant mechanism and laid back on it's arm as it slowly swung around the room.

Ozpin raised eyebrow as he took a sip from his coffee. Well if the boy did that so easily in front of the girls they must have found out his secret early. He looked to them once more gaining an amused smirk at the pouts Yang and Ruby were wearing at Jaune's action. "So something to convince me of? And what might that be?"

"Sir, we would like permission for Jaune to teach us how to fly!" Ruby's smile grew brighter as she stood on her toes. She doubted that the puppy dog eyes would work on the headmaster, but she was going to use them none the less.

Ozpin gave a brief sign of surprise at the request, quickly looking to the others he saw that they all had a look of determination in each of their eyes to learn. "And Mr. Arc would be able to teach you how to do so?"

Jaune sighed from his place on the cogs catching the attention of Ozpin. "Yes, it is possible to teach them how to fly sir. I was able to teach Coco after all, but the difference is that they aren't Adepts." He leaned over the side letting his arms hang down as he watched the world spin beneath him. "If I was going to teach him I would need to first teach them how to unleash their ki, which is something I've never taught anybody before, sir."

"But you have taught others beyond Coco how to fly?" Ozpin was finding the idea very interesting, if they were able to spread these teachings it would most certainly make the world itself stronger against the threat of the Grimm. As well as allow for the Adepts themselves to become more of a presents in Remnant. There would of course be others that would use these abilities for other purposes but that was irrelevant to the headmaster at this time.

Jaune just resigned himself to fate, the look in the headmaster's eyes practically told him the answer to their request. "Yes sir. Two of my younger sisters are Adepts as well, I started the basic teaching of our family's adopted style as well as how to fly."

Ozpin gave a slight nod to the boy. "And exactly how difficult is it to teach a none Adept to access their ki?"

"For that I honestly can't say, sir. It's really up to each individual person to release it. Unlike with Aura there isn't any kind of ritual that just "poof" unlocks it for none Adepts. From what I do know, which is very little by the way..." He really needed to stress that fact. "It requires meditation, so it could take weeks for everyone to unlock there own..." That was the one thing he knew for sure about the process, and he secretly enjoyed the looks of disbelief from his captors, he was going to keep calling them that, at the possible time period. "So even if you do approve this, I wouldn't even know when we would have the time outside of on the weekends, and then two weeks from today our missions start?"

The others quickly deflated quickly at Jaune's point, Ozpin had to agree that to them their idea did seem to be a hopeless venture. Of course there were benefits to being the headmaster. "Well I do have a way we can remedy the time problem." He had to hold back a laugh as he saw Jaune's head drop, smacking the cold metal of the cog with an audible clang, as well as the others look to him with hope filled eyes.

"Really headmaster!? You can do that for us?" The hopeful Ruby began bouncing on the balls of her feet with renewed excitement.

Ozpin allowed himself to chuckle as he pulled up a document on his scroll. "It would seem all of your are doing exceptionally, baring Mr. Wukong and Mr. Vasilias who do not attend Beacon, in Prof. Port's class. Due to this, and because you can pass that class on book work alone really-" he had to mumble that second part under his breath. "-I will allow you and team JNPR to be exempt from that class till further notice. That should give you ample time to train them, wouldn't you agree Mr. Arc?" He smiled up to the blonde boy who was banging his head purposely against the cog now. As for the others, he took a slight bit of amusement in the shocked looks on their faces. "Now I want to stress that this is a privilege I am granting all of you due to your current grades in this class. I want you to understand that should any of your grades fall below passing because of this I will revoke the privilege. Is that understood?" At their vigorous nods he smiled. "Good. Mr. Arc, do you have anything to add?" He looked to the boy as he floated back down to the floor.

"If you are allowing this sir, which I honestly am having a hard time coming to terms with, can you please add Coco Adel to the list of exceptions for fourth period. I don't see Prof. Goodwitch allowing us to continue training at night anymore." He figured he would at least get something out of this and he did still want to help Coco train. And this would give them a much better opportunity to do so. It was a heck of a lot better then cutting down his sleep time like before.

"I can certainly see if that can be arranged when team CFVY returns from their away mission." Ozpin gave a slight nod.

Knowing it was all he could really ask for he turned back to his "students", time to relay some orders. "Alright, so you got what you wanted, but if we're doing this then we're doing it right." He watched them blink in surprise as he took a stern tone. "You all have 2 hours, enough time for me to find my team and explain things, to get ready for your first lesson. Meet me in the outdoor training area closest to Beacon's landing strip. You will come in t-shirts, sweatpants or basketball shorts, and flat bottom shoes." He leveled a quick glare on Weiss and Blake who stared at him in shock. "You come in heels, and I'll teach you how to fly the same way a bird teaches their young. Understood?" At their quick nods he looked back to the headmaster. "Do those windows open?" He asked as he made his way over to them.

"Yes Mr. Arc." The headmaster replied while raising an eyebrow.

Jaune nodded as he pushed one open. "Good, I need to make a call."

"Um Jaune..." Ruby's voice stopped him from jumping for the moment. "The elevators are over there..." She pointed to them blinking at his actions.

Jaune gave a chuckle as he jumped out the window. "Screw elevators. I can fly." With that he smirked and flew off, presumably to make a call, leaving behind a stary-eyed Ruby.

A short time later Team RWBY, having split off from Sun and Neptune, where headed back to their dorm to get ready for the training ahead. Ruby was bouncing around with excitement at being able to learn how to fly, not to mention all the cool moves she could pull off with Crescent Rose.

Blake for her part was a bit nervous about Jaune's last proclamation before he left. "You don't think he would really throw us off the cliff if we show up in heels, do you?" She had leaned back to whisper into Weiss' ear. She wanted to think he wouldn't, she really did, but they were kind of forcing this situation onto him.

"I don't think he would throw you off a cliff..." Her answer was deadpanned. "The idiot might throw me off."

"What makes you so sure?"

Weiss looked to the cat Faunus incredulously. "You heard what he said this morning, he doesn't consider us friends. I doubt he would have any reservations to throwing the "Princess" off of a cliff..."

"You really can't blame him for thinking that." Blake gave a light shake of her head at the Heiress' reaction to his comment. "After all, you do take many opportunities to insult him. Even when he's not hitting on or even paying attention to you"

Weiss visibly flinched at that fact. She was about to react to Blake's comment, tell her that was most certainly not true. But that was cut off by the frantic and worried looking members of Team JNPR rushing up to them. Well Pyrrha looked frantic, Ren and Nora were more on the worried looking side.

"Have you seen Jaune?" Pyrrha's voice matched the distraught look on her face as she ran up to Yang and Ruby. "He's not in his bed like he should be. And we found his bandages in the bathroom trash."

Yang tried her best to give a calming laugh while holding up her hands. "Whoa, calm down there Champ. Yeah we've seen him and he's just fine, Promise." She quickly backed up as The Spartan leveled death glare that could put Weiss to shame on the blonde.

"That's not very funny Yang! You and I both know how bad of shape he's in. He needs bed rest."

Yang and Ruby were looking between themselves while laughing nervously. How the heck were they supposed to explain things? It was supposed to be Jaune here doing this, not them. Fortunately for them a savior came in the very subject that they were worried about. They blinked as Jaune walked right passed them and scooped Nora up to hold her over his shoulder, earning an "Eep!" from the ginger-haired girl and shocked looks from Ren and Pyrrha.

"Alright team! I'm calling a meeting, all members to Team JNPR are to report to our dorm asap!" He said as he walked back towards the dorm rooms. Nora had started playfully kicking and screaming, team RWBY figuring she must have noticed he really was fine. Pyrrha and Ren looked between the action of their supposedly injured leader and RWBY trying to process what has just happened. "Meaning now!" They heard him yell from down the hall causing them both to jump slightly and follow after him.

"Huh..." Yang looked to the others raising an eyebrow. "You think we broke him?" It was the only way to explain why he was suddenly all "take charge" in his personality. She watched as the others shrugged and they continued the trek to their dorm room.

"So let me get this straight..." Nora was the only one that was able to process what Jaune had just spent the last hour and a half telling them. Well mostly process anyway, Pyrrha and Ren were still stuck on the fact that he had professed the entire story by floating in front of them, and staying that way throughout. It was kind of hard to say he was lying when he was doing exactly as he claimed. "So you're this super awesome martial arts guy that can fly around and do a bunch of other really cool stuff, AND your going to teach us how to do pretty much the same thing?"

Jaune chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, that's a good way to sum it up."

"That-" He watched as she looked ready to burst. "IS SO COOL!" And there she went. She quickly jumped over to Ren grabbing his hands while jumping up and down, snapping the boy out of his stupor. "We're gonna be able to fly like birdies Ren! This is gonna be so much fun!"

Jaune let himself laugh at her reaction to the whole situation, he knew out of the three of them Nora would take it the best. Oh sure she's gonna still be slightly miffed, but if there was anything he knew about the girl for sure is that she could be won back over with pancakes. Looking to his side at his red-headed partner on the other hand... He could see a bit of betrayal in her eyes. Oh she was happy he was okay, that much he knew, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to be hurt that he was lying to her, again. He slowly stood up and plopped down next to her on her bed. "Hey Pyr..." He was trying his best to not sound like a jerk. "So, do you hate me?"

Pyrrha's eyes widened at his question as her head shot up in shock. "What?! Of course not Jaune! It's just..." She paused trying to find the right words.

"I lied to you again." There wasn't any real need for her to sugar coat it. It was the truth after all.

She sighed and nodded slowly before giving him a slightly hurt look. "Why? Why not tell us? Do you not trust us?"

"Of course I trust you." He paused to lightly flick her circlet, causing her to blink. "It's just this was something I really wanted to keep to myself. I felt I would be alienated for what I could do, ya know? I mean how many people do you know that can do what I just explained here at Beacon." He looked to her a bit surprised to see a look of genuine understanding in her green eyes. That's right, she was a world renown champion after all. He smiled offering a hand to her as he stood. "For the time being though I think we should get ready."

She stared at his hand before letting a small smile grace her lips as she took it and let him pull her to her feet.

Jaune went into instructor mode and began his orders. "Alright you lot. Get into some proper training cloths and meet me at the appointed spot." He made his way to the door before looking to Pyrrha. "And remember Pyr, no heels. I'll never understand how you girls fight in them in the first place..." He sighed as he heard her giggle behind him.

It took about ten minutes after he had arrived at the training ground for everyone to make it. He was happy to note that the three, that being Weiss, Blake, and Pyrrha, had taken his "suggestion" and come in flat bottom shoes. "Alright. Now that everyone is here we can get started." He smirked at the happy cry of Ruby and Nora, god they weren't going to be giddy for very long. "So I want all of you to take a seat on the ground for me, I need to go through a bit of a more in depth explanation." he watched them all take a seat on the ground before nodding. "Good, now the first thing I need to explain is the difference between Ki and Aura. As you all know Aura is a manifestation of ones soul, it has the power to both protect you and bring out your full limits. This usually comes in the form of your Semblances, Ruby's speed, Pyrrha's polarity, and so on. Ki on the other hand."

He took a second to take a horse stance, taking in a deep breath he began to concentrate. They watched with wide eyes as the dirt beneath him began to lift up into a ring shaped cloud. Not but a second later did a visible aura of blue burst out from him, creating a shock wave that made them move back slightly. He stood before them glowing as the energy burned around him before he let it fade away. "Is in someways considered the manifestation of one's own true physical strength." he continued smiling at their shocked looks. "Its is a power that does not come from just your soul, but the very center of your being itself. All living things have this power within them, waiting to be released. Some Adepts even believe the planet itself has it's own source of Ki." He paused as he noticed Blake wanted to ask a question.

"Wait how can the planet have this energy? Can you sense it?"

"I particularly can't," he shook his head slowly "but there are those that a far more advanced then me that claim that they can. Some even say that have drawn from the source when they were in a bid of great desperation. But back to the main point. Where as Aura can bring you to your very limits of strength, Ki is used to push us past those limits and beyond. When you harness you ki you can form it into many things." He held out a hand towards a near by tree. "Power." With that word he fired a blast of ki at the tree, blasting it off of it's roots. "Speed." He disappeared in an instant, reappearing behind the tree that was still flying up into the air. "Strength." Quickly he struck the trunk of the tree with a rising kick, sending in flying into the air. "And much more." He smiled as he kicked off the ground to float back over to them, happy to note the look of awe in all of their eyes. "From today I will be teaching you how to draw on this second source of power that lives within each of you." Which he was thankful to have gotten a good rundown on what needed to be done from his mother. He was lucky that it had actually been her and not one of his sisters that had picked up. The only laughing that had happened was when she was laughing at his dad's reaction to him no longer being trained in the ways of the Arc Knight. "So then, who's ready for the first lesson." He watched as they all stared at him with barely restrained excitement. "Meditation."

The collective face plants that shook the school grounds told him this may be more fun then he thought.
