Chapter 16 Hell Week
Jaune blinked taking in his new surroundings. After much debate he had finally allowed to leave the strange smelling and uncomfortable bed of the medical room. Although as he stayed in his bed a little longer enjoying the warmth, he knew it would not last as he had to spare himself further trouble with the girls. He climbed out stretching his body to return feeling to his limbs, strangely his body still felt off, taking it as he probably just slept weird he dressed himself in the baggy pants and shirt the girls provided and headed out the door. Growing up with seven sister you tend to pick up a few things to make life easier. He remembered all the times he found himself as a target, for not taking the extra steps of caution around them. For instance he made sure to get to the kitchen as quite as possible to not disturb their sleep.
After prepping his utensils he wondered what food they would want, a few minutes pasted as he through what to make for each girl. A spark of rebelling in his head wanted to poison the food in some way or at least give them a nasty surprise. But he pushed the thought away as it would do nothing for him but offer a quick satisfaction that would be replaced with pain in retaliation. He was still feeling stiff and sleepy so deiced to just take a guess for what each girl would want to eat.
Opening the food storage he was taken aback by the choices he found. There was a large am ought of fresh fish and other meats hanging, along with a stock of vegetation and fruits, herbs, and seasoning. Grabbing what he needed he set to work cooking. Hearing a faint whistle he looked over at the tea kettle thinking it was ready yet it was still on the burner.
As he cooked the girls walked in each still in their night attire, though each had a different reaction and energy about them. Ruby was first to enter wearing a pair of baggy pants similar to Jaune's and a black tang top, she greeted him cheerfully and sat at the table. He handed her a glass of milk and took a sip thanking him with a milk mustache. Chuckling to himself she checked her face and quickly wiped it away a little red.
Loud footsteps could be heard from the hall, and Jaune looked over his shoulder as he was tending to the fish at the moment. Weiss walked into the kitchen dark circle to be seen under a light layer of makeup, she was in a light blue night gowned as her hair was down but combed to stay straight. She glared at Ruby who gave an innocent smile back at her, for a moment before taking a seat next to her. She huffed loudly as Ruby looked a little guilty. "But Weiss you told me to get you up early so you could get ready in time, normally you're the last to make it as you sleep in and…" A hand covered Rubies mouth stopping her from continuing.
"Ruby, I asked you to gently wake me up, NOT blow a whistle in my EAR!" Weiss replied raising her voice on key words. She was about to continue till Jaune placed a cup of tea in front of her, with cream and sugar. Before turning around to continue his work. Weiss blink at the cup picking it up to smell if something was wrong. She looked to see a similar cup in arms reach of Jaune as he took a sip every few minutes. Too tired to care she added the am ought she liked best and enjoyed the drink. Hearing silence Jaune was relieved as the quite returned, it was too early to listen to Weiss bitch about her current issue.
A few minutes later a dull thump was heard at the door, walking into the room rubbing her nose while her book was still in hand was Blake. She was wearing a silk gown similar to Ren's but was black and purple and more feminine with her body. She took a seat across from Weiss. Jaune looked at the girl still reading and noticed dark circles under her eyes, the girl was bobbing her head trying to keep it up. She jumped a little as the sound of a cup tapped the table, looking up Jaune had placed another cup of tea. He could have sworn her bow twitched but thought it was just from her head jerking up. Looking at Weiss taking a sip she also took the cup and started to drink.
The Room was quite was Blake was reading, Weiss trying to relax and return to her proper mannerisms and Ruby trying to not bother either of the girls. The peace was broken as foot step carrying something heavy or rather was dragging made Ruby sigh and get up. Helping a yeaning Pyrrha, Ruby held her sister up as her feet dragged on the floor. Plopping the girl in a chair next to Blake the other two girls took a breath and Ruby quietly said thank you to her.
Yang was wearing a shirt that was backwards still her chest pushed against the fabric and a little too short as it exposed her stomach, and a pair of black short shorts with a yellow design on the left hip she snored loudly. Pyrrha was more modest wearing regular shorts and a long sleeve shirt that hugged her quite well she greeted the group placing a hand over her mouth as she yawned. As all finally arrived they started talking, which Jaune tuning out as he was busy with his work. With a final spin of the pan he flipped the piece of meat over onto a plate getting the girls attention.
In a quick and effortless motion he picked up the six plates three in each arm. Sliding them in front of the girls, he refilled the cups of tea while filling his own, placed glasses of orange juice in front of Pyrrha and Yang and topped of Rubies milk. The smell of food hug in the air waking Yang from her sleep. The girls looked shocked at the food in front of them.
Blake was drooling with stars in her eyes at the sight of the fish on her plate, with a side of rice and vegetables. Weiss was speechless as Jaune had made a refine dish for her Eggs Benedict with holiday sauce with fruit salad. Ruby was giddy as she tasted the sweet fluffy crepe covered in a light syrup and strawberry jam mix. Pyrrha was quite happy as she also had a fruit salad but with egg whites on buttered bread with bacon. Yang as happy digging into the thick slice of ham Jaune had just finished, to the side of her plate was fried diced potatoes and scrambled eggs. Jaune himself had a mix of potatoes, eggs, fruit with his tea and a glass of orange juice.
The girls were stunned by the look but the first bite made a few tear up from tasting such a meal. While the girls took turns cooking for the group each girl had her own style and would make dishes that own they would truly enjoy. Ruby made it too sweet, Weiss took too long and most of the food tasted weird, Blake made only fish disks, Yang was too heavy with the meat and burned a lot of it. Pyrrha was the best out of them but had trouble making so much.
Breakfast was quite was everyone focused on eating. Till Ruby asked what the other were thinking. "Jaune, where did you learn to cook like this and how did you know what to make us?"
Everyone stopped eating looking to the Blonde knight taking a sip of his tea before answering. "Well to be honest I learned by cooking all the time, I grew up with seven sister each wanting different things and refusing to cook for different reasons. So it fell to me to cook." The news of seven sister shocked the table as some looked at him in a new light, knowing how crazy it got with just five girls in the same house. Jaune continued. "With what to make you all I…" He paused a moment to think. "I, guessed?" He replied not confident in his own answer.
"You guessed?" Weiss raised an eye at him.
"Well I got a hunch and went with it." Jaune shrugged before going back to his eggs. The girls were not content but the food was too good to stop eating.
Internally, "How did I know what to make them? Yea Blake and Ruby liked fish and sweets was easy to see from what they ate, and Pyrrha and Yang look the exercise type so would want fuel food, Weiss seems like a noble type and I've seen what they eat. But still I just kind of knew and did it without thinking."
After few minutes pasted the girls were all satisfied smiling happily. Before they even noticed Jaune had taken the plates from them and was washing them while humming a tune to himself swaying his hips a little as he worked.
Ruby and Weiss were talking, but Blake, Pyrrha and Yang noticed the sway, while Blake hide behind her book, Yang and Pyrrha enjoying the view. Jaune stretched again still feeling tight and numb in his joints raising his arms and shirt. Yang then fist bumped Pyrrha both smirking. "We're not sharing him, agreed?" Yang asked. "Agreed" echoed from the table. As the girl savored the taste still on their tongues.
With breakfast done the group went back to their rooms and prepared for what was planned, Jaune's training.
Surprisingly he was last to get to the field as the girls were standing in a line waiting for him. He was wearing a pair of shorts, with the same shirt on, the girls were wearing different something different from the morning.
Ruby was wearing a red dress and hood she always carried. Around her dress she had pieces of black leather. Before he could ask she and Weiss stated "It's a combated squirt." Dropping the topic he looked over the others. Weiss in said combated squirt was wearing a light dress top that looked more for formal events than training. Blake had on her regular gear but with less armor and her face exposed. Yang was in brown shorts longer but not by much from her sleep wear, her chest was wrapped in bandages though her cleavage was still exposed on the top almost like it was pushed up. Pyrrha had a corset on armored going long up to her neck, but had an opening in the middle above her chest that look like it was cut open. Her shoulders were exposed like Blakes and her legs where covered up to her knees.
Jaune had to admit each girl looked good in their gear, but reality crashed back to him as a wooden sword and shield landed at his feet.
Picking them up, Pyrrha step forward with her own set. "Jaune as this is your first day training with us, all of us will be present, but for today you will only spend a little time with each of us. We will test you to see how you are in different areas. On normal days you will spend the whole day with one of us and follow are instruction without question is that clear?" Pyrrha spoke in a demanding tone, Jaune could feel the presser each girl was given off. He was again standing before the Erinyes.
Jaune's thoughts in ()
Taking a breath he nodded not backing down. "Ruby will work with you on strategy as well as help train you with range weapons and aiming. (Not too bad, but I'm not a fan of ranged weapons). Weiss will, help you with your evasion and control under presser. (Great judging by the look on her face I'm just target practice for her). Blake will help with you stealth and detection skills as well as how to counter. (So continuing our bet, alright bring it on). Yang will work on your strength and endurance as well as hand to hand combat. (I do not like how she is licking her lips at me right now). And I will train you in sword and shield combat, begin. (Well I could use more training in my fighting style... Wait what.)
Jaune felt a slice cross his chest tearing his shirt and seeing red.
I really wanted to put more into this chapter but I'm short on time. Continuing of Jaune's training as well as some more Ren X Nora in the next chapter. Again sorry for the wait, but I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and feel free to leave a comment or review or your thoughts. Thank you all!
