While Eve was trekking through the forest of Mt Glenn, she remembered something. She thought, 'Wasn't I asking that human…Wasn't I asking Jaune about Blake's whereabouts? I seem to have more reason to keep an eye on him when I can.'

To every White Fang member close to her, it looked like she was plotting something heinous. As they moved through the forest, they slowed down to keep their distance from Eve.

One of them whispered and said, "Hey, did someone piss off the head honcho?"

One of them shook their head and said, "Not that I know of. Besides, I don't think she is plotting anything heinous."

The previous one said, "Really? Then why did you back away?"

The other person did have nothing to say to that.

Another one said, "You lot got to keep it down. If she hears you, you are screwed! And there ain't nothing we can do about it."

Everyone kept their mouth shut throughout the journey. Best not to anger their leader.

With Oobleck and the others, they were interrogating Jaune about the events of last night. They wanted to know what happened. How was Torchwick here and tied up with his partner?

Jaune said, "I already told you guys! I was captured by one of the White Fang operatives patrolling the area. They brought me to their underground hideout, were sloppy with their rope work, and I escaped. Along the way, I fought Torchwick when I saw the train he was trying to start filled with bombs."

Weiss looked at Jaune and said, "Something doesn't add up. How could someone like you, who has displayed incredible feats of strength, be captured? Do you know what I believe? You got yourself captured to find the hideout. Along the way, you ended up dealing with Torchwick."

Jaune visibly sweated, and he spoke, "Pfft! C-Come on, Weiss. There is no way anyone would get themselves caught on p-purpose! That's just ridiculous. Especially to a human-hating group that would love nothing but to kill me on the spot."

Weiss glared at Jaune before saying, "That is true."

Jaune was glad that Weiss accepted his words. They let him go, and not long later, they had a bullhead picking them up as their mission was over. They found the hideout and took out Roman and his partner, which was a massive success.

Ruby pouted, crossed her arms, and said, "This was supposed to be our big adventure! How come only Jaune was able to do something cool? I wanted to capture him."

Jaune sighed and said, "Sorry, Ruby. Maybe I should have waited for all of you."

Ruby shook her head and said, "No, it's fine. I'm just being salty. Besides, if you weren't there, then who knows what Roman would have done with the train filled with bombs and the damage he could have caused."

While talking, they heard a voice shout, "Come along now! We need to head back to Beacon and hand in our report. Mr. Arc, you'll be the one speaking when we get back. You were the one that captured Mr. Torchwick, after all."

Jaune saluted Oobleck and said, "Will do, Dr. Oobleck."

While on the bullhead back to Beacon, Blake approached Jaune. She wanted to know he there was someone she knew he met.

Jaune knew what Blake was asking, "Beautiful Faunus with horns, red hair, and a voluptuous body? Do you mean Eve? Yeah, I met her."

Blake shook her head and said, "I know, Eve. Her hatred of humanity runs deep, but she would not harm you if she found you favorable toward the Faunus. No, I was talking about her twin, Adam Taurus."

Jaune shook his head and said, "I didn't meet any other head honcho besides Eve; she felt like an okay kind of gal."

Blake had a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank Oum. If Adam was there, I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you."

Jaune put his hand on her shoulder and said, "If anything happens to me because of the White Fang, Blake, I don't want you thinking it was your fault. Promise me, Blake. If there was a time that happened, do not blame yourself and don't run like the time you accidentally revealed your identity to your team."

Blake initially hesitated, but she nodded and said, "I promise, Jaune."

Jaune nodded at her and said, "Good, you know how I feel about promises."

Blake nodded and spoke, "I know. As an Arc, you never go back on your word."

The two sat down together. And the others were watching their interactions. It looked pretty romantic on their part, which did cause a bit of jealousy from Weiss, Yang, and Ruby. As for Nora, Ren, and Pyrrha, they were smirking. Things were coming along great.

Nora whispered between Pyrrha and Lei, saying, "He-he! Things are going smoothly. Do you think we need to speak to Blake soon about our plan?"

Lei thought momentarily before speaking, "I think we need to give them a bit more time to bond before we go scaring her off."

Nora shivered and said, "Pssh! As if being in a harem is scarier than those things she reads. Those books? Oh, my, Oum! There are so many hardcore things there."

Lei shook her head. She sighed and said, "We told you not to read her books. They're not your type of literature."

Nora pouted. It was because they told her that she shouldn't read it that she read it. It was a psychological thing! She wouldn't have done it as long as they didn't say anything. Blame them for barring her from reading it.

The group arrived at Beacon. Many of the students were staring at them. Why? Because they had Roman freaking Torchwick tied up! He was one of the most elusive criminals in all of Vale! Neo has been trying to escape with Roman, but they keep catching her. For whatever reason, her semblance was not very effective, especially that blonde hunk!

In the headmaster's office, Glynda and Ozpin were shocked to see Roman apprehended.

Ozpin said, "You guys had quite the adventure, it seems."

Ruby pouted and said, "No, we didn't! We fought a few Grimm and went to sleep! Augh! When we woke up, Roman told us that Jaune captured him and stopped whatever his plan was!"

Glynda started at Jaune. Yes, he has gotten stronger, but surely, not so strong that he could take down Roman, a former Huntsman with experience behind him.

Jaune cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to report the details of our mission."

And thus, Jaune retold the entire story to Ozpin and Glynda, hiding a few things. Like, semi-flirting with a killer Faunus. Or that he purposefully got himself captured to find the hideout.

Glynda rushed to Jaune to ensure he was okay, "You aren't hurt, are you?"

Jaune sighed and said, "I'm fine, sis Glyn…I mean Professor Goodwitch."

Glynda nodded in satisfaction. He was okay. That was all that mattered. And also, she was happy that Jaune remembered her.

Team RWBY and NPR were not one to miss what Jaune called Glynda. Have they known each other before Beacon? This caused all of them to look at each other and nod in understanding. However, RWBY was a bit confused since Ren nodded with them in agreement.

Later, in the dormitory of RWBY, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren joined them. Again, they needed clarification since Ren was joining them.

Ruby spoke up and asked, "Uhm…Ren? Are you interested in Jaune as well?"

Lei nodded and said, "I know what you're thinking. It is confirmed that Jaune is only interested in women."

Ruby and her team nodded, but then they saw Ren reveal his chest.

They were shocked and said, "Oh…oh!"

Weiss spoke first, saying, "Hold on, why are you pretending to be a man? Does Jaune know?"

Lei shook her head and said, "He doesn't. But we are thinking of telling him soon."

Yang spoke next, saying, "What the? But haven't you been showering with Jaune when you would sometimes wake up late? How does he not know that you're a girl?"

Lei sighed and replied, "When Jaune takes a shower, I join him after a minute. You see, the first thing Jaune does in the shower once he is wet is to wash his face with soap, which he wouldn't wash until later. So, most of the time, Jaune's eyes are closed. I quickly finish before he opens his eyes."

Teasingly, Yang said, "So, how is he down there?".

Lei did not say anything, but she did show it with her hands.

Weiss was blushing, "How? That can't be true!"

Nora then said, "Oh, it's true, all right. I remember when I sat on his lap and had him caressing my breast, he had a bit of an erection, and it was…wow! Too bad that Pyrrha and Lei would wake up if we made any more noise. Oh, this is before we made our current arrangement."

Team RWBY looked at them and said, "What arrangement?"

Nora said, "The harem arrangement, silly. We agreed that we would rather be together with Jaune than only one has him, resulting in our strained relationship due to jealousy."

Weiss and Yang were waiting for a punchline, but there was nothing.

Yang said, "You're serious?"

Lei, Nora, and Pyrrha nodded, with Nora saying, "Oh, we are. And we've been thinking about how to approach it. I already know that Jaune dreams about something like this. So, it would not be difficult to get him on board. The question is, are you in, or are you out?"

Ruby and Blake said, "I'm in!"

Ruby was innocent and didn't care how many people Jaune was with as long as she was happy with him. As for Blake? Well, she's Blake. She reads these things and wants to try before turning it down. When can one find another person like Jaune? In addition, the experience might be as exciting in real life as it is in her books.

As for Yang and Weiss, they didn't know what to do.

In the evening, in the dead of night, Jaune was back in his Dreamscape. It once again changed. It was proof that when he got stronger, this place would increase with him. It was as if this place was made to be a training ground.

No more are the Agile or Strong Arm Zombies. The place was now filled with Lords, Kings, and Emperors. However, it didn't matter. Jaune attracted the Zombies and got into his fighting stance. He wanted to see how far he could go without using his OP weapons. This is why he used one of the more 'ordinary' swords he had gotten.

[Demon Sword Lostvayne: A Sacred Treasure belonging to the Dragon's Sin of Wrath. Ability: Jitsuzō Bunshin – a special ability that allows the wielder to create up to four or six clones of themselves. The clones only retain a fraction of the original's power, with one clone having half the original's power level. The halved power level is divided among each additional clone]

See, 'ordinary' sword. As long as Jaune does not use the special ability, it will remain nothing more than a simple sword.

Jaune then shouted, "Today! I'm going to use you all to level up to Lvl500! I want to see if there is anything special about it!"

Jaune charged toward all the Zombies as he brandished his sword. He thought, 'I wonder what Ruby would think when she sees this sword's ability? It was hard enough for her to return the Absolute Spear. This sword, he might never get it back.'

Jaune sliced the head of a Zombie, but then, from above, one of the Zombies used magic and fired a beam. It pushed him down but did not do much damage to him. As the beam ended, Jaune leaped and sliced that Zombies' head. Even though Jaune was overwhelmed, he wasn't planning to use Lostvayne's ability.

With a roar, Jaune pushed on. Eventually, Jaune heard a voice he hadn't heard before.

[Beep! Your level has been raised. Since you have reached a certain level, your race will be evolving]

Jaune's body started to glow intensely. Once it was done, He had a once over on his body and said, "Thank Oum! I still look the same…sort of."

Looking at a reflection, one can see that he is still Jaune, but one would feel that something is different.

After looking at himself, he checked his stats.

[Jaune Arc

Occupation: None, Level: 1, Race: Human I (Transcendent Species)

Mana: 13500, Attack: 13500, Defense: 13500,

Agility: 16500, Intelligence: 11500, Luck: 11500,

BP: 5000]

Without hesitation, Jaune added his BP to his stats.

[Jaune Arc

Occupation: None, Level: 1, Race: Human I (Transcendent Species)

Mana: 13500, Attack: 15500, Defense: 14500,

Agility: 18500, Intelligence: 11500, Luck: 11500,

BP: 0]

Jaune waited for the familiar heating sensation, but nothing came. However, he was suddenly kicked out of the Dreamscape.
