Let's begin with the story

Enjoy
_

-7:30 am somewhere in Vale In a calm village-

We see a young blonde boy with a wooden sword practicing his swings while doging an imaginary foe while blocking, striking and doging

(Like this instead of boxing it's fighting with a sword) ( just using it for reference)

but then Grunts in pain why? you may ask, well...

Out of thin air a small cut appears on his cheek with a small trail of blood trickling down his cheek

?:"Woah calm down there guys" *walked up a spiky black haired man*

"I think this is a good time to call it a day you've been pushing yourself since 5am and that's pretty early even for you Jaune, so tell us what's up is their something bothering? and don't lie we can tell" asked the spiky black haired man to the younger boy

Now identified as Jaune

Jaune:"I.. I don't know it's just a feeling you know I have to prepare for something and I don't know what it is" explained about a feeling of uncertainty that's been slowly creeping in the back of his mind after the past two months

The two men understood what he meant a feeling of foreboding

?:"Ok then we're going to have to train more, then lets keep going" said a spiky blonde haired man *goes back to his fighting stance* and is somehow able to hold a giant sword like it's nothing

Jaune: "Cloud, Noctis

Thanks for your support after these past two months I'm here and soon able to make my dream a reality I'm really grateful to the both of you" said Jaune being grateful for the training that they were giving him not just that though they were also giving him life lessons through experience they themselves had gone through or learned from someone that really helped them in their lives
*he gets into his fighting stance*

Noctis: "Wait Cloud you should heal him first" stopped them from continuing for now

Cloud:"hmm"*nods and snaps his fingers and a green light appears around Jaune and the cut starts to heal*

Noctis:OK now we can continue oh and Jaune *Jaune turns his head to look at him* you better be studying for things that a huntsman needs to know and also history will be greatly beneficial trust me when I say this"

*Jaune nods his head in a yes motion *

"Ok are both of you ready *both nod* ok...fight"

(Just letting you know that I'm not good at fighting scene's but I'll try my best)

As soon as the words left his mouth

*Cloud sped up infront of Jaune and he swung the sword down and Jaune doging it*

"good your learning not to tank the blow if this keeps up you'll be able to do some of the abilities that we have bestowed upon you" said Cloud

*Jaune quickly gets up a and strikes with the wooden sword which Cloud simply blocked the attack and countered letting the wooden sword slide in a different direction in which Jaune lost his balance* 'crap' Jaune thought

* Cloud went for the strike at the boy and it seemed like it will hurt* and time seems to go slow for the boy

'What do I do,what can I do this..this is a bad spot that I'm in c'mon think quick what can you do I Can try to block it no it won't do anything besides break my sword, wait maybe I can yeah that'll work probably, screw it can't Second guess now just do it'

*Jaune quickly puts his wooden sword infront ready for the impact* Cloud saw this and was a bit disappointed that Jaune will take the blow again even though it will break the sword he will have to break the habit for him but still a big leap in Improviment for how much the kid is lasting into the sparring session he'll give him credit the kids stubborn that can be a good trait to have and dedicated even when he is tired out he keeps pushing himself

But then both Noctis and Cloud's eyes widen when they see *Jaune change the buster swords direction while letting it slide from the wooden sword and Cloud lost his balance Jaune went to for the attack in a stabing motion Cloud instinctively blocked it at punched Jaune out of instinct but held back alot which sent Jaune flying 2 to 3 feet from them*

Cloud: "dammit" he swore to himself *goes to Jaune as he's coughing and panting* "sorry about that you caught me off guard there can try to regain control of your breathing"

*as Jaune nods yes and start to gain back his breathing while cloud uses curaga on Jaune just to make sure he'sproperly healed*

Noctis:'it took two months for Jaune to get through Clouds defense that's impressive even I have trouble with that but a 7 year old was able to do that but not just that he's a really fast learner that he just did with Cloud, Cloud didthat a few seconds ago to him, this kid is a monster he can think on the spot and catch someone off guard and has pretty good strategy, if this keeps up he would be Able to use Warp-strike*looks at Jaune* he has a lot of untapped potential why would his family be scared for him to be a huntsman, if they train him really well the would be shaken and all this I would probably call him a prodigy of hard work' Noctis thought to himself shocking how far Jaune had gone in such a short period of time to

Noctis:"alright guys I think it's time we call it a day and go back before everyone goes ballistic and goes looking for Jaune" *as both blondes shake their heads in agreement*

*as Jaune was getting about to walk away Cloud puts a hand on his shoulder and he turns to him*

Cloud:"You did good" said Cloud *while patting Jaunes shoulder*

Even though it was super weird being complimented Jaune blushed for feeling embarrassed about something that felt so small

Jaune:"uumm..t...thanks" Jaune muttered shyly

- 7:42am in the Arc house-

After a good shower and breakfast Jaune went to study and do his homework even though he hated it and his most hated mortal enemy Math and fighting against the fearsome army of Multiplication

-Timeskip few minutes later-

After finally a hard won battle against his most fearsome foe Homework he decided to just read some comics but sadly. It couldn't be so

Noctis:"Where do you think you're going?" appeared Noctis out of no where

*This got our young hero to stop in his tracks and slowly turn to look at him*

Jaune:"um...um..uh nowhere hehehe"said Jaune as he chuckled nervesly

Noctis: just gives him a deadpan look and thinks 'is this how iggy felt when he was taking care me gods I should really apologize for all the things I did back then'

"Jaune you-" before he could continue his sentence someone walked in to his room And it was a blonde woman with the same shade of beautiful sapphire As Jaune

?:"Jaune dear where have you been all morning I was worried for you" said the woman In a worried and caring tone

Jaune:"Oh sorry for worrying you mom but I was training outside and lost track of time" he said nervously
Since his mom let's him train in secret from his family but never seen him train and if she knew well he wouldn't be able to do a lot of exercise if being babied for the rest of his life and he really doesn't want that for himself don't get it wrong he loves his family and is thankful for them that they care so much but at times it can feel like your suffocating you know but he can never say it out loud because he doesn't want to hurt them by accident he doesn't like to see people hurt but he was told by his two teachers that sometimes you get forced into that situation it's either you or them but that doesn't mean that their are other options for you to do, but most of the time they really aren't available options to begin with

Mom: *raises an eyebrow*" you were gone for 2hrs and 42mins today so you woke up at 5am and trained most of the day and did your homework that wasn't do until next week *she smiled at her only son for his dedication to his dream so she decided to support him but once in a while theirs those thoughts and the negative scenario kind but tries to push it aside but her husband sadly doesn't have the same thinking and only hopes that their children would never worry of such things the thought of it is sweet but the more she thought about it more variables started to stack up that it can only be that a thought something that the mind can hope to happen we can't control what others want in their lives but we can try help them and give them the tools to build a path that their proud of because they themselves had made something for them and themselves alone with some guidance from others that they will gain when going on their own

*she then looks at her hands*

covered by gloves never once taken off in public for not even her family knows only her husband of the life that come with for wanting to be a huntsman but

*she then looks at her son in the eyes*

"Are you sure this is what you want Jaune?" She asked her son to make sure that this is the path he so chooses

*eyes are shown with a determination that seems like a flame that looks small but yet seems so bright at the same time*

Which surprised her and with that look she knew the very answer from her son *a gentle smile formed on her face * "Ok I know you're answer but promise me one thing" *he shakes his head in a yes motion*

"Don't push yourself to hard and be very very careful when following this path their will things that WILL test you and push beyond your limit so please tred carefully my little knight" she said as tears start to fall

Jaune:"I give you my word mom and an Arc never go back on their word" said Jaune with determination and passion

Mom:"that's my brave baby boy"she said as she sofly strokes his cheek

Jaune shivers because her hands were cold and he didn't know why they were always cold but he didn't mind since they were the hands of his mom

?:" i think not I refuse to let you be a huntsman" said calmly a man with blue hair and an Eye patch and one green emerald green eye

Jaune:"why dad why won't you let me be a huntsman" asked Jaune sad that his father is denying his dream to be a hero to help people

Dad: "Because I say so and I know what's best for you Jaune you'll thank me one day"

Mom: "But Gilbert-" she was about to retort to her husband but was cut off

Gilbert: *looks at her* "no buts Violet I'm doing what's best for everyone"

"No" they both heard *turned to see Jaune seeming more different*

Gilbert: "what was it that you said Jaune" *looking at Jaune eyeing him to see if what he heard was right*

Jaune:* was looking back with a look of determination* and the small flame that Violet saw in her son's eyes those eyes burned even brighter than before

which shocked Gilbert andfelt something in his chest and that feeling was pride, he felt pride that his son wouldn't care what people say about him and would continue on the path that he so chooses

Gilbert: "No what Jaune? what is it that you want to say?"

A part of him was saddened that Jaune was getting more rebellious During these few weeks but at the same time proud that his son was standing his ground on what he believes in and the passion but still wished that passion was sent into something else instead of being a huntsman

Jaune: "no I will become a huntsman and ...and if you won't let me go and be a huntsman then I'll...I'll"

Gilbert: he was now interested on what his son will do now since- and what Jaune yelled out made both parents eyes go wide

Violet:"Jaune are you really gonna go this far for your dream" she muttered looking at her son shock and surprise evident on both of the parents faces

Jaune: *With a look of the flame of determination on his face glowing ever so brighter"

Gilbert:'oh now this, this is surprising' thought the father proudly

"Ok" he answered

*both child and mother turn to him surprise on their faces when he accepted as he turned around walked out of the room but stopped infront of the door*

"But remember Jaune you chose this and don't go back on your word after this" he said *then left his room*

Violet:"Jaune" she muttered to herself *looks at Jaune* his sights still not leaving where his father once was but his resolve getting even stronger and remembers what her son said

- flashback-

Jaune: "Then I challenge you to a duel where I put my dream on the line if I win you have to accept that this is my dream and that you will support me through this but if I lose then I'll give up on that dream I'll never talk about it and not even talk to any huntsman but that's only when you win"

-flashback over-

Noctis: "So we got our work cut out for us" *while smiling*

Cloud:"hm" *shaking his head in agreement " but that's why i suppose we are his spirit Guides aren't we?" *a small smile form's on his face*

Hope you guys enjoyed see you next time
