(A/N) This is the start of the Jaunedice story arc of RWBY. After thinking over the general draft of this story arc. I have decided to split it into two parts, but the content will not be short. Also I have received some questions regarding bloodedge and I cannot answer those questions without giving away some major spoilers for the future chapters in this story. Though I will say this though, the topic of bloodedge is not going to be tackled anytime soon.
Chapter 12 The cold and the knight pt 1
(Flashback The Church)
"Big brother, can I sleep in the bed with you tonight? I'm scared and I can't get to sleep by myself." A young and timid voice had said
"Why, you have your own bed so why don't you use it?" Another voice had said but in a rude tone
"It's just that I'm too scared and I might die." The younger voice had said but in a much more timid tone
"Geez I bet your scared of the moon again aren't you? I keep telling you that it will not fall on us you crybaby. Fine you can sleep in the bed with me again but you better wake up screaming again or we're going to have some problems, understand Jin." The young voice had said
"Thank you Ragna I really appreciate this." Young Jin had said in a grateful tone
"Just get to sleep you crybaby." Young Ragna had said in an irritated tone before going to sleep
(Team RJNN's dorm room)
Jin had woken up in a cold and nervous sweat after having a dream of his childhood back at the church. After getting adopted into the Kisaragi family Jin has done everything he can to forget about his past and leave it behind. Instead focusing on what he could do as a part of the Kisaragi family. Though his adopted family are very welcoming they are persistent in making sure that Jin keeps up with his studies and training. Though several times they do try to insist on Jin visiting his blood relatives out of respect as well as the fact that they are family. But Jin refused most of the time and when he does visit it leads to a fight between him and his brother.
"It would be easy to attack him in his sleep. But doing so in such an easy manner would leave a very bad taste in my mouth. So for now consider yourself safe for the moment brother." Jin had said before stepping out of the dorm room
"Your welcomed to try crybaby." Ragna had muttered a before Jin left
(Beacon Hallway)
It is currently past midnight as Jin was walking through the halls of Beacon Academy. Jin did not have many chances to fully take in the sights of the school. Though since he is having trouble sleeping and the fact that it is quiet and nobody is roaming the halls means that it will be easier for him to take in the sights at his own pace. While he is deep in thought about his current situation among other things.
"Looking at this school helps me realize the simplistic appeal that Beacon has. Though the lack of modern technology can put some students off at first glance. Though it also means less of a security risk in the long term, assuming that the Huntsman and Huntresses here know what they are doing." Jin had said as he was walking down the hallway.
As Jin was walking down the hallway his sword Yukianesa had started to give off a faint glow. Though he paid no attention to it at first Jin decided to explore a bit further. Then in a few seconds the aura weapon had glowed a bit brighter. The sword had glowed to a point that Jin couldn't ignore it any longer and decided to take a look at his sword.
"What is going on with Yukianesa? This hasn't happened before not even when I first got the sword. Wait I'm hearing a word . . . Maiden, what does it mean?" Jin had said before he started to travel further but this time using his sword as a guide.
As Jin was walking, his sword had started to glow brighter at certain directions. Whichever direction that Yukianesa had glowed brightest was the direction that Jin had walked. Eventually Jin's activities had led him in front of an elevator, and after taking a closer look Jin had recognized the elevator.
"This elevator leads to Professor Ozpin's office. Why would Yukianesa lead me here of all places and what significance does the word Maiden hold?" Jin had thought to himself for a few minutes. Though before Jin had realized it the elevator had opened and within is Ozpin who appeared that he was deep in thought about something but did not show it.
"Is there something wrong Mr. Kisaragi it's not often I see you around here? Especially when it is this late at night." Professor Ozpin had said to Jin
"Nothing is wrong sir, my weapon had started to act funny and I wanted your advice on it. But it had started to get back to normal, so I will take my leave." Jin had said before he turned to leave only to be stopped by the Headmaster
"Mr. Kisaragi would you mind if I ask you a question? Its about something that has been bothering me for a few days." Ozpin had said
"Yes sir you can ask me any question and I will do the best I can to answer it." Jin had said
"Forgive me for delving deep into your past but would you mind explaining how you obtained your weapon?" Professor Ozpin had asked with a curious look and tone
"The details of me gaining my aura weapon is something I'm not comfortable explaining Professor, I hope you understand." Jin had said
"I understand Jin, and I won't pry any further. Though if you change your mind or just want to talk about certain things, like for example your insistence on wanting to beat Ragna to a pulp then my doors are always opened." Professor Ozpin has said
"I understand Professor, well then have a good night." Jin had said before leaving to return to his dorm
"What is the story behind your past Jin?" Professor Ozpin had muttered to himself in a low tone
(Professor Goodwitch's Class)
It is currently afternoon at Beacon and team RJNN, JNPR, RWBY, and BLST are in Professor Goodwitch's sparring class. Most of the students in Professor Goodwitch's class have already done their respective spars and currently the two students who are sparring against each other are Pyrrha and Noel.
Currently Noel is busy keeping Pyrrha at a distance since she knows that Pyrrha will be effective in a close quarters fight especially with her semblance. On the other hand, Pyrrha has her own reason for keeping Noel at a distance since she knows that Noel will be using her aura weapon Bolverk during the spar. Since Pyrrha doesn't know what Bolverk can do in a fight it is important that Pyrrha keeps the spar going so she can formulate a plan once she knows what Bolverk can do.
After firing a few shots from her rifle Pyrrha had decided to make the pursuit to get closer to Noel but guarding herself with her shield. Noel seeing an opportunity had decided to fire directly at Pyrrha. Though Pyrrha was slightly confused at Noel not moving it did not stop her from her pursuit. Once Noel had fired Bolverk, Pyrrha was knocked back a small distance. Wanting to follow up Noel had decided to pursue Pyrrha herself and keep up with the barrage of shots.
Realizing that Noel's Aura Weapon Bolverk is capable of hitting its target no matter the shield or barrier. Pyrrha decided to recover and constantly move around the stage so she can avoid getting hit. Though once Pyrrha was far away she had decided to toss her shield at Noel. Then after she tossed her shield she had decided to change her rifle into it's javelin for and toss it at Noel. Then Pyrrha decided to go after Noel but at a faster rate with a plan in mind.
Noel had slightly panicked seeing both Pyrrha's shield and javelin come after her, but she did not show it. Reacting quickly Noel had first shot the shield away and then the javelin. Unfortunately for Noel she had shot the javelin in Pyrrha' direction giving her the chance to arm herself with her weapon and get closer in one move. Once Pyrrha had gotten close she had attacked Noel at a fast pace impressing the audience especially her team. Though Noel had managed to dodge the fast barrage of attacks from Pyrrha.
After spending a few more minutes dodging Pyrra attacks, Noel had blocked one of Pyrrha's attacks with one of her guns. Then in a brief second Noel had jumped over Pyrrha and kicked her a few seconds before she landed. Then after Noel had landed she rolled forward trying to make as much space between her and Pyrrha as much as possible. After making the space Noel had transformed both of her guns into a single weapon that had the appearance of a rocket launcher.
After Noel had transformed her weapons she had fired the rocket at Pyrrha. Unfortunately for Noel, Pyrrha had a small smirk after seeing the rocket and stood still. Then the rocket had sped up and had gotten closer to Pyrrha though once it had gotten close Pyrrha had used her semblance to control the rocket and redirected it. The redirected rocket had found itself being launched towards Noel but at full speed. Noel had tried to transform her weapon to blast the rocket before it got close but it was too late. The rocket had managed to give Noel a direct hit and the blast was powerful enough to not only to deplete a good portion of her aura but also knock her off the stage.
"It appears that the winner of this match is Pyrrha Nykos. Ms. Nykos I must applaud your quick thinking in dealing with Ms. Vermillion's unique weapons. You managed to not only keep calm but also found a limit to her weapons and abilities and turned her power against her." Professor Goodwitch had said
"Thank you for the words of praise Professor Goodwitch." Pyrrha had said
"Ms. Vermillion I must commend your use of your versatile weapon. But next time try to be more cautious of the destructive nature of your attacks. If you fight someone who can counter your attack the way Ms. Nykos did earlier then I can assure you that your future battles will end swiftly." Professor Goodwitch had said to Noel
"Yes Professor I understand." Noel had said before getting off the stage with Pyrrha
"You did good during our spar Noel, I never thought that your weapons would be able to turn into other guns, especially a rocket launcher." Pyrrha had said giving Noel words of praise
"Your pretty good as well Pyrrha, I didn't think you would be aable to counter my attack as quickly as you did. I guess I still have a long way to go before I can master my aura weapon." Noel had said before she sat with her team as Pyrrha did with her team
"Now who are the next volunteers for today's spars?" Professor Goodwitch had asked the students in her class
"I volunteer Professor." Jaune had said before getting to the stage
"Then I'll be his opponent Professor." Cardin had said as he was getting to the stage as well armed with his mace and having a smirk on his face
"Very well Mr. Arc and Mr. Winchester the both of may now begin." Professor Goodwitch had instructed before the both of them charged towards each other.
Once both of them had gotten close Jaune had attempted a downward against his opponent. Only for Cardin to casually dodge to the side to avoid the sword attack, then he had swung his mace at Jaune with a great amount of force. Jaune had managed to block Cardin's attack with his shield, unfortunately Jaune was knocked back a great distance and he did not have much time to fully recover from the attack. Something that Cardin took advantage of when he charged for a follow up attack against Jaune.
Reacting quickly Jaune had blocked Cardin's attack again with his shield but this time he had managed to stand his ground. While holding his ground Jaune had tried to attack with his sword while Cardin's attention was focused on his mace. Unfortunately Cardin had managed to dodge the sword attack quickly and used his mace to give Jaune a direct hit at his torso. The attack from Cardin had knocked Jaune back a large distance and he has barely managed to hold on both his sword and shield. Cardin meanwhile had stood on one spot of the area and is holding his mace over his shoulder with a smirk on his face.
Jaune had then decided to charge towards Cardin with the intent to attack him with his sword. Once Jaune had gotten close he had tried to attack Cardin with a downward slash. Cardin had parried the sword attack with his mace, then he quickly attacked Jaune with his mace successfully disarming Jaune of his shield. The blonde knight had found himself exhausted but he still refused to give up. With a loud roar Jaune had dashed towards Cardin and slashed at him. On the other hand Cardin had blocked the sword with his mace and the two of them were in a struggle.
"This is the part where you give up." Cardin had said putting more strength into his mace
"Never." Jaune had said while holding his ground against Cardin
While the two struggled Cardin had kicked Jaune causing him to be slightly distracted enough for Cardin to attack Jaune. After hitting Jaune with his mace Cardin had knocked Jaune into the ground with the intent to give a powerful blow. Though before Cardin could attack a loud buzzer had made noise which had stopped the match getting both fighters and the audience's attention as Professor Goodwitch was stepping forward.
"That's enough Mr. Winchester, everyone as you can see Mr. Arc's aura had dropped to red. If this was a tournament styled duel this would indicate that Mr. Arc would be unfit to continue the match and the official could call the match. Mr. Arc it has been several weeks by now. Could you please refer to your scroll during combat in the future? Gauging your aura will help you to determine whether or not to continue attacking or take up defensive tactics. We don't want you to be eaten by a Beowolf do we?" Professor Goodwitch had explained to Jaune and the whole class
"Speak for yourself." Cardin had said before walking off
"Now everyone a few things I would like to tell all of you before I dismiss everyone. Next week will be the start of a new type of duals which will consist of the two on two spars. So, I highly recommend that all of you formulate strategies with your teammates when you work together for your own two vs two spars. Though before that I want a paper on the effectiveness of team battles due next week." Professor Goodwitch had said though unaware of the various groans of the students in class.
"Also, the Vytal festival is a few months away and various students will be coming from all over Remnant to our school who will also participate in the Vytal tournament. Please get as much practice as you can and remember if you choose to participate in the tournament then you wil be representing all of Vale." Professor Goodwitch had said to various applauses, though the ones who stood out were team RWBY and team BLST.
(Beacon Hallway)
"Just think a chance to meet a lot of students from the different Kingdoms. I can't wait for them to arrive." Makoto had said with excitement in her voice
"I'm excited as well Makoto, it will be a chance for us to see Tsubaki again. Though as for the tournament it won't do us much good if Ragna and Jin can't get along for a while." Noel had said in a concerned tone
"Maybe the paper we have to do for the Professor might give you two some ideas on how to get them to work together. You know what as leader of team RWBY I think that we should start training early so the two that starts next week will be able to give a good first impression." Ruby had said in an excited tone to her friends
"Ruby are you excited because this is a chance for us to give a good first impression, or that you can come up with combo names for our attacks?" Yang had said to her sister in a teasing tone
"HEY! . . . it wasn't supposed to be that obvious." Ruby had said in a low and embarrassed tone while twiddling her fingers
"Team battles would have been inevitable ever since our teams have been formed. Though being able to get our teammates to work together in teams of two seems like a challenge for a leader." Bang had said in a concerned tone knowing that Tao could be a problem in terms of coordination
"We I'm sure that we will be able to figure something out. But after only we get our team battle assignment finished. Don't you agree Jaune?" Pyrrha had said as she turned to Jaune. Though when she looked at him, Jaune has a depressed look on his face.
"Jaune is everything OK?" Pyrrha has asked in a concerned tone getting Jaune's attention
"Oh . . . yeah I'm fine Pyrrha I'm just a bit nervous about the tournament." Jaune had said in a hasty tone
"I understand but it's still a few months away so we have plenty of time to get prepared." Pyrrha had said to Jaune
"Your right Pyrrha I bet that if we get some training done then I wouldn't be so nervous about the tournament." Jaune had said slightly cheered up
(Beacon food hall)
"So there we were in the middle of the night." Nora had said in a suspenseful voice
"It was day." Ren had said correcting his friend
"We were surrounded by Ursa." Nora had said continuing her story
"They were Beowolves." Ren had said correcting his friend again
"DOZENS OF THEM!" Nora had yelled in excitement
"There were two." Ren had said
"But they were no match and in the end Ren and I took them down and we made a boatload of lien selling Ursa skin rugs." Nora had said finishing her story
"She's been having this reoccurring dream for nearly a month now." Ren had said explaining his friend's story
"WOW tell meow more I like that story." Tao had said enjoying Nora's story
"Is there something wrong Jaune?" Pyrrha had asked out of concern for her friend
"Oh, um I'm fine Pyrrha." Jaune had said trying (and failing) to convince them that he is alright
"Are you thinking about your match against Cardin? You know everyone loses a match a few times so don't worry about it. Or is he messing with you again." Amane had said to Jaune
"What, no he's not messing with me he just likes to mess around. I mean that's what guys like us tends to do." Jaune had said trying to reassure his friend (again failing)
"You know if your having trouble you can talk to us." Pyrrha had said to her team leader
"There is no trouble I mean tell me when he acts mean to me." Jaune had said
"When he knocks down your books numerous times." Ruby had said
"Activating your shield to stop you from entering the classroom." Ren had said
"Stuffing you into a locker and launching it away while you were inside." Pyrrha had said
"I didn't land far from the school, and besides he acts like a jerk to everyone." Jaune had said pointing towards Cardin messing with Velvet
"Wow they really are real." Cardin had said to his team while pulling on Velvet's rabbit ears
"Please stop." Velvet had said trying to get away
"People who mess with others because they can do it I hate people like that." Pyrrha had said
"Hey what is Ragna doing?" Ruby had asked seeing Ragna with an apple while glaring at Cardin
"Uh oh." Noel, Amane, and Jaune had thought realizing what Ragna was up to remembering how he got his school probation.
"Those ears of yours are large, how well can you hear from them?" Cardin had asked Velvet in a sarcastic manner. Though as Cardin and his team was sitting near Velvet not letting her get away. An apple had hit Cardin across the face. When he looked to see who threw the apple at him. He had saw that it was Ragna who was approaching him.
"Oh did the apple hit you, my bad I was trying to toss my food at some garbage. I guess when I saw you act like a prick I mistook you for some trash." Ragna had said to Cardin in a bold tone
"What did you say to me you white haired idiot." Cardin had said as he stood against Ragna while everyone in the food hall had looked at the two
"Messing with someone because you can. People who act like that are trash to me Wimpchester." Ragna had said not intimidated by Cardin
"You must think your hot stuff but I bet your nothing but a whiny coward huh . . ." Cardin had said before getting punched in the face by Ragna
"What did you say Wimpchester I couldn't understand what a piece of trash like you was . . ." Ragna had said before getting punched by Cardin in retaliation
"What you want to keep going." Cardin had said in a deep tone ready for a fight
"I let you have that one out of pity Wimpchester. But if that's all you got then I'm in for boredom." Ragna had said ready for a fight as well, while oblivious to the various looks him and Cardin received from everyone. Though before the two of them could fight Professor Port had arrived into the food hall getting everyone's attention
"You know in my day I had always done some rough housing with my fellow Huntsman and there is nothing wrong with a bit of tussle. However, I have some suspicion that things might escalate if this keeps up. The both of you will calm down and not let the adrenaline get to your heads I hope." Professor Port had said though in a tone that indicates he will act if he needs to do so.
"No problems here, in fact we were just leaving. Let's go everyone." Cardin had said to his team before they left
"Now Ragna I understand the passions of the youth, but I hope that you learn to keep a cool head in the future. After all a cool head will be able to get you through your school probation." Professor Port had said
"No promises professor." Ragna had said before leaving the food hall
"Wow he stood up to that bully. He's like a good guy meow. You know maybe that is what I should be calling him." Tao had said
(Beacon Library)
The events of last night still bothers Jin greatly. Never before has Yukianesa acted the way it did. With either guiding Jin or putting a word in his head. Ever since owning an Aura weapon Jin has researched Aura weapons a lot but the information has been scarce since not much is known about them. This time though Jin decided to research the word "Maiden" something that Jin himself has been curious about. Unfortunately for Jin, hours of research has been spent seeing different variations of the maiden fairy tale. Either the previous owner really like that story, or there is more to it that is not in any book.
"It seems that all these hours of research have only resulted in me learning about the different variations about that fairy tale. There's no reason for me to dwell on this at the moment." Jin had said before putting the book he was reading back. After Jin had put the book back he had overheard some students talking.
"In a few months the Vytal tournament will happen. I have to start training now or else I will hold my team back during the tournament." One of the students had said
"As long as we don't fight either Pyrrha Nykos, or Jin Kisaragi you should do fine." The other student had said
"That Jin is amonster though, the way he fights and his semblance. I bet he was crazy strong ever since he was a kid." The student had said
"Strong huh." Jin had muttered to himself before being lost in thought about his past
(Flashback The Forest)
"That hurts big brother." A young Jin had said after getting knocked down
"What did you expect from me Jin weak taps? If you can't last long against me then the Grimm will do worse to you." A young Ragna had said
"He's trying Ragna don't be so rough with him." Sister Celica had said
"Please if he spends time holding a sword instead of crying all the time like a baby. Then he would be doing a bit better than he is now. Not to mention that he's scared of the moon as well, talk about weak and cowardly." Young Ragna had said in a mocking tone
(Beacon Hallway)
"What does it mean to be strong brother? I know this much I'm stronger than you Ragna, and soon you will see." Jin had muttered in a low tone before leaving the library After Jin had left he had ran into a familiar group of students that he was not in the mood to see. It was team JNPR and they looked as if they had intense business in the library.
"Oh hi Jin nice day isn't." Jaune had said in a friendly tone
"The fact that your not in a hospital for severe injuries is proof that fools can get lucky. So its not surprising that it's a good day for you at least." Jin had said in a scathing tone
"Jin we have to study for our classes and the tournament. Please don't make this into an unpleasant study session." Pyrrha had said in a tone that she wasn't in the mood for Jin's harsh words
"Very well but I will be kind enough to leave you a tip Arc. Each member of your team specializes in a specific skill and most likely their semblance reflects that, so try to formulate a plan that utilizes your team's skills. Though in your case you can fall in back and let your team and friends do the fighting. It can help you stay alive a bit longer." Jin had said to Jaune
"You . . ." Pyrrha had said before being stopped by Jaune
"Thanks for the advice Jin we'll get going." Jaune had said before all of them went inside the library.
(A couple of hours later)
"Ragna why do we have to be afraid of getting in trouble every time you get into a fight? Your already on probation but if you keep this up you could get expelled and we will be without our leader." Noel had said worried for her leader
"I already told you and the others that if I see a messed up situation I will act against it. I told my master and caretaker that I would attend Beacon but I never said that I would stop doing what I normally do. Besides better for me to get in trouble than somebody else, I can take the blame and then some." Ragna had said showing no worries for what happened in the food hall
"If it makes you feel better Noellers I would have done the same thing so don't worry about it." Makoto had said
"Look lets just meet up with JNPR and get to Professor Oobleck's class. They said that they will be in the library and since it is on the way it's quite convenient. Besides if everything you guys told me about Wimpchester bullying Jaune is true then it will be a good chance for me to as Nora said "break his legs" which will be appropriate for him." Ragna had said before seeing team JNPR heading their direction
"What happened to the library I thought you guys will be there?" Makoto had asked surprised to see team JNPR
"We couldn't find any books that would help us and since we would lose track of time studying then we figured we should just meet up with you guys instead. Besides we ran into Jin and that soured the mood a bit." Ren had briefly explained
"Jin has always been a huge pain, so don't think about him too much." Ragna had said though before he could speak further Ruby had suddenly showed up in a burst of excitement
"OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH you guys have to see this!" Ruby had said maintaining her excitement while holding her scroll.
"Did something happen Ruby?" Noel had asked
"I found the most amazing video on the internet." Ruby had said still excited for what she sees on her scroll
"Well what did you see Ruby?" Jaune had asked curious about what Ruby sees
"I saw one of the legendary heroes, take a look everyone." Ruby had said before showing the groups the video of Hakumen killing the whale Grimm
"Such a display of power, it looked like he destroyed that Grimm with no effort." Pyrrha had said looking at the video
"Yeah he looks powerful, I can feel that just from the screen." Jaune had said
"Ruby has rewatched that video a dozen times. I'm not surprised though the story of the six legendary heroes has always been her favorite. Her favorite legendary hero has always been Hakumen ever since she heard of him." Yang had said as she was walking towards the group with the rest of team RWBY
"We have no idea if that video is actually real. I've watched that video a dozen times to check its authenticity. So far there has been no results, after Professor Oobleck's class I plan to continue watching to see if it is real." Weiss had said
"I wonder what type of person Hakumen is outside of his title as a legendary hero?" Noel had asked
"An uptight swordsman from what my master told me." Ragna had muttered
"You said something Ragna?" Yang had asked
"Oh nothing, I was just wondering if you plan to lose to me in that board game again." Ragna had responded with a smirk on his face
"OK just because you won the first dozen times doesn't mean anything. I will win soon and I will get your master's name." Yang had said in a confident tone
"I am curious as well, how skilled is Hakumen before he became who he is?" Pyrrha had said before leaving to go to Progfessor Oobleck's class
"Um Jaune is there something wrong?" Noel had asked
"It's nothing Noel I was just wondering how great it would be if Hakumen made an appearance here at Beacon." Jaune had responded
"Well I don't know what to think, but anything can happen. I bet that he must be incredibly strong and could be one of the greatest warriors in the world. I wonder how Hakumen would feel if he was a student here at Beacon." Noel had said before going to class
"I guess if he was here then he would belong here." Jaune had muttered in a depressed tone
(Dr. Oobleck's class)
"Prior to the Faunus revolutionary war, humanity was quite persistent in centralizing the Faunus population in Menagerie. Though many knew the dangerous conditions that Menagerie had within its land. It did not matter to humankind which had escalated the conflict between Faunus and Humans further. I know that many of you find the topic of history boring, but it is important for us to know these things if we are to learn from the mistakes from the past." Dr. Oobleck had said while speeding around the room drinking his coffee
"You and my master would get along so well." Ragna had said while doing off to sleep without a care in the world
"Ragna this is the tenth time I have caught you sleeping in my class. With a very consistent attitude that shows carelessness, be prepared to see me after class for additional reading." Dr. Oobleck had said after scolding Ragna before addressing the whole class
"Looking forward to it." Ragna had said sarcastically not caring that his team and friends were looking at him with a shocked expression
"Now even the the Faunus revolutionary war was a long time ago the consequences could still be felt to this day. Which among you have faced discrimination or mistreatment due to being a Faunus?" Dr. Oobleck had asked seeing several Faunus raise their hands including Velvet, and Makoto
"Are you OK Makoto?" Noel had asked with a concerned look
"I'm fine Noellers Its just a harsh reality." Makoto had said to her friend
"Tao you haven't faced any mistreatment?" Bang had asked
"I lived in the Village all my life and besides I don't really care for that sort of thing." Tao had said
"Dreadful simply dreadful, it is such hate and ignorance that justifies the existence and actions of the White Fang. Now can any of you tell me what happened during the third year of the war?" Dr. Oobleck had asked the class before Weiss had answered
"The battle at Fort Castle." Weiss had answered
"Excellent Ms. Schnee now can anyone tell me what advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces during the war?" Dr. Oobleck had asked the whole class before Cardin had flicked a piece of paper at Jaune tricking him to raise his hand
"Mr. Arc it is wonderful that you decide to contribute to class. So can you tell me the advantage?" Dr. Oobleck had asked
"Um the advantage . . . that the Faunus has is . . .uh." Jaune had said before seeing Pyrrha and Noel making motions with their eyes
"Binoculars." Jaune had said only to get laughed at by the class including Cardin
"Very funny Mr. Arc but that is wrong. Mr. Winchester perhaps you could tell me the advantage the Faunus had?" Dr. Oobleck had asked Cardin
"I know for a fact that it's a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier. So the easy training is what the Faunus had. Like that Tao Kaka she acts like an animal which serves as the perfect example for what a Faunus should be." Cardin had said
"YOU DARE INSULT MY TEAMMATE WHO IS ALSO MY APPRENTICE!" Bang had yelled ready to attack Cardin
"Calm down Bang someone like him is not worth it. As for your question Dr. Oobleck the answer is night vision. Faunus are very capable of seeing well in the dark. You know Cardin you could learn a lot from the Faunus. Because if you do then you won't be known as a colossal failure like the general. Though the way you are now shows that you have a huge head start on being known as a failure." Amane had said managing to get under Cardin's skin for insulting Tao
"You piece of . . ." Cardin had said before Dr. Oobleck stopped him
"That's enough Mr. Winchester please see me after class. You too Mr. Arc, and you Ragna." Dr. Oobleck had said to Jaune, Ragna, and Cardin
(After Class)
"Each of you shows consistent problems within my class ever since the beginning. I do not know the reason but instead of seeing effort and improvements I am instead seeing carelessness and arrogance. Beacon trains those who aspire to be Huntsman and Huntresses and we only accept the best of the best. Pages 51 to 91, I want an essay on my desk by next class from each of you." Dr. Oobleck had said before dismissing the three
"See you loser, and you too white haired idiot." Cardin had said before leaing the classroom
"What did you say you son of a . . ." Ragna had said before Jaune stopped him
"Let it go Ragna we're already in enough trouble." Jaune had said
"Tch fine but next time he gets a double beating from me." Ragna had said
(Beacon Library)
After Dr. Oobleck's class Jin had decided to spend some time studying so he can get a head start on his next few classes since he's done for the day. While he was studying Jin recalled the events of class and couldn't help but to scoff at the idea of Cardin wanting to form some sort of alliance with him. There are too many things about Cardin that would make him unpleasant company.
"NOTHING HAS CHANGED!" A voice had suddenly shouted breaking Jin out of his studying. When Jin looked around he had noticed that nobody had done any sudden shouting.
"It must be my Aura Weapon acting up again. Maybe it is time for me to call it a day for my studying, I can easily resume tomorrow." Jin had said before leaving the library
(Beacon stairway)
After leaving the library Jin had decided to go to an accessible rooftop knowing that not many people will be there. His main plan is to go to the roof and look at the night sky while he is deep in thought about several things that are going on through his head. A pleasant bonus for him would be that the moon is not out tonight which will be an even more pleasant sight for Jin.
"What hasn't changed, if only I could hear that voice again. I can't explain it but it felt familiar somehow. It feels like I have known the owner of that voice my entire life but I can't say that person's name. It might have something to do with Yukianesa, or maybe I have too much on my mind to properly focus." Jin had muttered to himself while he was walking.
Though as he was walking he is hearing a pair of voices. Jin had decided to get closer to see what was going on. Once he had gotten closer Jin recognizes the voices to be Pyrrha and Jaune. Jin had originally planned to turn around since he couldn't care less about the two talking to each other. Though before he went too far he heard something that caused him to stick around even further.
"I didn't earn my way into Beacon. I don't belong here with everyone else." Jaune had said in a worried tone
"What do you mean you don't belong here? Of course you do Jaune." Pyrrha had said trying to cheer him up
"No I don't. I mean I didn't go to a combat school, or pass any test. Heck I didn't even get any recommendations. I got my hands on some transcripts and used it to get into Beacon. Me being here is all a lie." Jaune had said confessing how he really got into Beacon
"But why?" Pyrrha had asked shocked at what she has learned
"Because its what I've always wanted to do. My father, my grandfather, and his father were all warriors, my family considered them to be heroes. I wanted to be a hero too but I wasn't good enough." Jaune had explained further
"Then let me help you." Pyrrha had said willing to help her friend
"I DON'T WANT TO BE HELPED! I'm tired of being seen as the weak one who always needs help while his friends fight for their lives. I mean look at me I'm a nobody compared to everybody else. I don't have an aura weapon like Noel. I wasn't recommended by my master like Ragna or Bang. I wasn't discovered by the Headmaster like Ruby. Not to mention I am not seen as a very skilled warrior like you or Jin! Compared to all of you I'm pathetic, I know you guys don't see me as pathetic but by comparison I can't help but feel pathetic." Jaune had said venting his frustration to Pyrrha
"Jaune I . ." Pyrrha had said before Jaune had cut her off
"Just go and leave me alone." Jaune had said in a disheartened tone
"Alright Jaune, if that's what you want." Pyrrha had said before leaving Jaune to his thoughts. After Pyrrha walked through the door she had walked down the stairs with a lot on her mind. Though as she was walking she was greeted by a surprising sight in the form of Jin.
"I heard everything Pyrrha, now I see the full picture." Jin had said
"What do you have to say now?" Pyrrha had said not in the mood for Jin's harshness
"It would be best if he turns himself in. If he continues to stay here, he will not only be a danger to your team but also to himself. The bravado is impressive I'll give him that but he needs to do what is best for him and everyone." Jin had stated boldly to Pyrrha
"What do you know about Jaune. Ever since the first day you have done nothing but criticize Jaune for being weaker than the others." Pyrrha had said tired of Jin talking down on Jaune
"I am only stating the facts, even you can see that." Jin had responded boldly to Pyrrha
"Then here is a fact for you Jin, Jaune is a much better person than you'll ever be. He may not be as strong as you but his kind nature and his determination makes him someone I will want as a leader for years but for you I feel anger and pity. I am angry at the fact that you have kind people like Noel, Makoto, and Ragna as your teammates when you clearly don't deserve them. Yet I also feel pity for you since I can tell that you never understood kindness from someone. Jaune feels like a weak person but he still tries his best and has never looked down on someone as a leader. You may not bully him like Cardin has done, and I do know that your teammates have a good deal of flaws. But the fact that they do not talk down on people as you have done to Jaune makes them much more preferable. Jaune may feel weak and helpless but he is still a kind person, you could learn a lot from him Mr. Kisaragi. Maybe then you could have been selected as a leader to your team." Pyrrha had said before she left but not before Jin spoke to her
"My brother is not that kind of a person you'll do well to keep that in mind." Jin had said as Pyrrha was leaving
"People see Jaune as a weak person huh. Hmm maybe we are not so different than I thought." Jin had muttered to himself before leaving deep in thought about his past
(A/N)
The next part of this story I will be doing a few things differently than from the main canon but the main format of the canon Jaunedice story arc will be consistent but I do want to throw a few surprises in this story.
Also in a few chapters I will start a poll about a chapter concept I am thinking about. Though that poll will open once this story is significantly closer to the volume 2 story arc of RWBY.
So read and review
Thank you
