Jaune's Secret Revealed!
Later that night Daien was on the roof, using the slope of the roof to practice adapting to unfamiliar footing as he ran through a few kata using his semblance, when he heard the door open and two sets of foot steps. Ducking down, Daien snuck to the top where he could see who it was.
Seeing that it was Pyrra and Jaune, Daien decided that it was none of his business and went back to training. But once Jaune raised his voice he took a look. "-I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests. I didn't earn my spot at this Academy! I lied! I got my hands on some fake transcripts, and I lied!" Daien was floored by this revelation. "Jaune snuck into Beacon with some fake transcripts?! I mean, he isn't exactly combat material and I have been wondering how he got into Beacon with his current skill level, but I never expected something like this from Jaune, Cardin maybe, but JAUNE!?"
As his mind realed, Daien missed most of the exchange. He heard Pyrra leave and then heard a voice that filled him with disgust. Daien let Cardin do his 'thing' and leave before jumping down, scaring Jaune out of his skin. "D-Daien?! How much did you hear?!" Jaune asked after shooting to his feet. "Enough." Daien said bluntly. Jaune sunk to his knees, looking utterly defeated, "Are you gonna turn me in? Or do you want me to do your homework too?" Jaune asked. "I'm good, but thanks for offering." Daien said, before taking a seat next to Jaune.
"And no I'm not gonna turn you in." Jaune was surprised and confused, "Why?" Daien showed Jaune two fingers, "One, I take care of my own. Two, I see potential in you. Just because you didn't go to a combat school doesn't mean you don't belong here. I didn't go to any combat school, I learned the hard way for a while, before I found a mentor to teach me and someone a lot like Pyrra to help me." Jaune nodded.
"So as I see it, you've got the mentor covered by the teachers here, so all you need to do is let Pyrra help you and you'll turn out fine!" "But I-" "Jaune, just because Pyrra's helping you doesn't mean you're not doing it." Daien let Jaune chew on that for a sec before saying his goodbyes and going back to his dorm.
Aaaand that's it!
