Jamieoeyes: Indeed but just how strong is Ozpin compared to Jaune now?
0akarigan0: Gracias! Oh, and Jaune will have more than one Rival. If I had to compare it to Bleach, Roman is to Jaune what Renji was to Ichigo at first.
Guest: I know, it was hard not having them be involved but it was what I chose, but hey! they'll get it in the sequel! (since some of the girls will also be interested in Jaune, not all of team RWBY but some of them)
Reader: Yes, his growth will be amazing as he will have to find new ways to grow stronger, protect his friends, gain new ideas, New Ways of thinking, and learn what it means to be the very hero he always wanted to be.
Dragon Blaze-X: Thank You!
X3runner: I did think of that before, and it sort of happens. When someone uses "Aura Sight" they are pushing Aura into the eye and like when people push aura into a certain part of their body, it glows, so the eye color sort of glows the aura color of their user. The bleeding of the eye is actually both a reference to the use of the Amaterasu (the bleeding of the eye) and the price of the Mangekyou Sharingan (blindness).
AutoHunterJ49: The only people's Semblance that apparently hasn't been confirmed is most of Team NDG(O), BRNZ, ABRN, and of course Penny and Ciel. If you're just wondering about the girls then Yes, I have a list for them. Side Note: Arslan's Semblance was actually revealed in the last chapter, She is able to create fireballs, but that's not the only thing she can do, I call her Semblance "Cruel Burn", Here's the rest of the list and I will not spoil what their semblance can do yet.
Reese = Voice
Nebula = Shayde
Dew = Unbreakable
Gwen = Silentium agni
May Zedong = Fumetsu no kusari
Ciel = Cronos
Penny = Not Yet decided (sorry)
Robbeeyy: Here's a LOT more!
Xerzo LotCN: Yeah they lost, and this was to show that Jaune still has a long way to go before he can really be the Huntsmen and Hero he wants to be. And we might see something with Neo being angry with Roman almost killing Jaune later down the line. And Yeah, Jaune beats him at Chess a few times but Ozpin is a man with over 1,000 years of knowledge, so he still is able to Jaune mostly and I still wanted to show that playful side that both showed in "Pinapple". And we're finally going to be shown who will be training Jaune! and It's not just Ozpin!
Guest: If you find it to be cringy, that's fine, this story isn't for everyone.
AutoHunterJ49: Team BRNZ and NDGO will be important later in the story both during the C.R.O.W.N Arc and the Vol.3 Arc

Jaune walked into Combat class and when he did, Ozpin was there, like he said he would be. Jaune entered the arena and Ozpin stood across from him, cane in hand as well as his coffee mug in the other.
"Ah, Jaune, I'm glad you made it," Ozpin said with a smile.
"Of course, I wasn't going to pass up a lesson from the headmaster himself" Jaune smiled brightly
Ozpin chuckled, "Yes, well, it's not every day, a student really does catch my eye," Ozpin told Jaune "Also, you may call me Ozpin, we are simply training,"
Jaune nodded, "Right," Jaune said, "So... um what are you teaching me?"
Ozpin chuckled, he then walked over to the entrance of the arena on his side and set down his coffee mug by the door. Ozpin then turned his can around to hold hit like a weapon. "I said I would teach you, yes, but I also said I needed to evaluate where you are with your Aura techniques now," Ozpin said "And in order to do that, I will have to test your skills in battle"
Jaune's eyes widened in disbelief, the Headmaster of Beacon. Ozpin himself, the man that was one of the most legendary men in the world... wanted Jaune to fight him.
"O-Ozpin... you're joking right?" Jaune asked
"I am not" Ozpin replied with a smile
Jaune gulped, he didn't want to fight Ozpin. The thought of fighting his headmaster, it... it terrified him. He felt his entire body shake with fear, but what choice did he have? Ozpin was offering him a way to get stronger, to be stronger in order to protect his friends, and if he needed to fight Ozpin in order to do it... then he would.
Jaune unsheathed Crocea Mors and raised his shield and prepared to fight the Headmaster.
Ozpin smiled, "You're very brave Jaune," Ozpin told his student, "I will not be holding back"
Jaune nodded and prepared for any attack that Ozpin had up his sleeve. Ozpin smiled and he pushed his aura into his cane and it glowed green. Jaune's eyes widened, realizing what technique Ozpin was using, and he quickly put his aura into Corcea Mors, as it glowed white with his aura.
"I believed you renamed this technique to Arca Mortis, Correct?" Ozpin asked with a smile,
Ozpin swing his cane at Jaune and a green Arca Mortis shot out from Ozpin's cane and headed straight for Jaune. Jaune quickly unleashed his and his white Arca Mortis collided with Ozpin's, however, it seemed to do almost nothing as Ozpin's Arca Mortis cut through Jaune's! Still seeing the incoming attack, Jaune moved out of the way and narrowly dodged the attack.
Jaune's eyes widened with horror, realizing all too soon how hopeless this situation was. But he couldn't give up... not yet! Not now! Jaune quickly got to his feet and looked at the Headmaster in the eyes and Jaune steeled his nerves.
Ozpin kept smiling, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Jaune's eyes widened, knowing that the Next technique Ozpin was using was Aura Step, a master version, due to the fact it made it seem like he had vanished. Jaune prepared himself for an attack from anywhere, and that's when he saw Ozpin appear right in front of him, with his cane glowing green, no doubt going to unleash an Arca Mortis this close to Jaune. Jaune quickly tried to use his shield to block the attack, but Ozpin already unleashed the attack upwards, hitting's Jaune's Aura and sending the young teen back into the wall.
Jaune crashed into the wall and fell onto the arena floor, he slowly got up to his feet as he took ragged breaths, he looked over to his scroll to see that he was already at 50%. His eyes widened with shock. 'One attack from Ozpin and I'm already at 50%!?' Jaune cried to himself 'So this is... what a master of Aura techniques can do,' Jaune said to himself
Ozpin smiled, 'He's finally realizing how much the gap between me and him is... the question now is, will he surrender or continue fighting?' Ozpin asked himself
'If one Arca Mortis from him lowers me to 50%, then I need to be careful, any attack from him again and I'll be fresh out of Aura' Jaune thought, 'I need to use Aura sight as best as I can but I have to remember that I can't overuse it,'
Ozpin let him think for a bit before he vanished once again and then quickly reappeared to the left of Jaune, however, Ozpin didn't see the white glow in Jaune's eyes, and when he tried to attack with his cane, Jaune managed to block it with his shield. Ozpin continued smiling and Jaune smiled as well, now gaining a little confidence.
Jaune quickly tried to slash at the headmaster but he vanished once more and appeared right behind the teen, and using his Semblance, Ozpin delivered a fury of blows that were so fast it seemed like there was more than one cane and more than one Ozpin attack the blonde knight. Jaune was sent forward, tumbling across the ground, and crashed into the other end of the arena.
Jaune's entire body felt sore, despite having Aura, he could feel every single hit that Ozpin had delivered to his body. Jaune looked at his scroll and saw that he was not at 10%. His eyes widened with horror.
'He's... too fast for my level of Aura Sight to keep up with, and his Arca Mortis is a lot stronger than mine... I didn't even manage to get one hit in! I couldn't even block and dodge! I just got toyed with!' Jaune growled in anger and sadness
"What I have shown you in this battle is what you could be capable of should you master your Aura techniques... you must keep training Jaune," Ozpin told his student, "But there is one more thing I would like to teach you," Ozpin said
Jaune looked at him and when he did, he felt his entire body freeze. Ozpin use his cane like a cane and looked at him with an expressionless face. Suddenly, a wae of Green aura flowed out of him and all around the arena and flowed out everywhere, almost seemingly making everything green, when the wave of Aura hit Jaune, he felt his body almost collapse due to the sheer pressure that he was releasing.
'Wh-Wh-What the hell is this... overwhelming sense of power!?' Jaune cried to himself in fear
The wave of green Aura that Ozpin was emitting dissipated and when Ozpin looked at his student, he saw the utter horror and fear that was displayed on Jaune's face. 'Strange... he didn't faint when I used it' Ozpin thought to himself
"W-What was that...?" Jaune asked, his voice clearly shaken, it sounded like he was about to cry
"A gift from the soul that only a few are born with," Ozpin said "It isn't a normal Aura technique, you have to be born with this gift, and as I said before, only a few are born with it,"
Jaune was still in shock, he couldn't believe that Ozpin had something like this... something that could put the fear of the gods into a person, make them faint from the overwhelming power that they possessed! It was Unbelievable!
"In the beginning of our fight, you felt fear correct?"
Jaune just nodded as he tried to regain his senses
"I thought so... during the whole fight, you were in a state of fear, and while perfectly natural to feel such a way when facing a vastly stronger opponent, you let that fear control you," Ozpin told him, "Sadly, all you exhibited was fear. the only thing your sword and attacks speak is senseless fright, and that's not good" Ozpin told him
"I... I let it control me..." Jaune realized.
He had allowed his fear of being weak in a fight against overwhelming odds to control him and he had let that fear poison his thoughts, allowed him to think that he stood no chance against the Headmaster, and while that proved to be true, he shouldn't have thought about it like that. He had always been able to do the impossible despite the odds, he did it with getting into Beacon, he did it with his aura training, he did it with the Goliath, after those events he felt like he was growing stronger, felt like he was finally managing to catch up to everyone else. But after the fight with Roman... he returned to feeling weak.
"What you don't need in battle is fear, Jaune, nothing will come of it," Ozpin told the young Arc, "When you counter an enemies attack, you don't let them cut, and you when you protect someone who you hold dear, you don't let them die, and when you attack your enemy, you kill... if you fear... you will be cut, you will let someone die, you will fail and you will be dead, do you understand?" Ozpin asked
Jaune lets Ozpin's words seep in as he regains his composure. Ozpin was right, he couldn't fear anymore in a fight. He couldn't let the fear control him and poison his fighting spirit when in a fight. In order to become stronger... he needed to stop fearing. Jaune stood up on his feet and steeled himself and looked to the Headmaster who looked at him.
"I understand, Ozpin" Jaune said
Hearing this, Ozpin smiled and gave Jaune a quick nod. 'A truly unbreakable spirit,' Ozpin thought, "Well then, you better start packing, You'll be heading to an old friend to learn how to grow and try to master your techniques before you return to me for more teaching with your Aura" Ozpin told Jaune
Jaune was a bit confused, "Wait, where am I heading, Ozpin?" Jaune asked
Ozpin smiled, "You'll be heading to the Island of Patch," Ozpin said with a smile
Jaune nodded and left to his room to pack, as he did, Ozpin watched him leave and then remembered how Jaune was able to withstand "that" power.
'Could it be possible that he has it as well...?' Ozpin asked
When Jaune left the classroom and walked into the halls, his eyes widened as he saw many, many students knocked out on the floor or slumped against the walls. Every single one of them seemed to be unconscious.
"What happened!?" Cried Jaune
Ozpin walked out behind him and saw the scene before him, 'Oh dear, it seems I went overboard again, I'm sure Glynda is going to give me an earful' Ozpin thought with a smile
.
.
.
The next day, Ozpin had sent the young Arc to the Island of Patch in order to meet up with a teacher from Signal Academy. He apparently was also an apparent master of Aura Techniques, though, Ozpin did inform Jaune that he was not as strong as Ozpin himself, which Jaune believed, but Jaune was also smart enough to know that just because this guy wasn't as strong as Ozpin, he was still a master of Aura techniques, and Jaune would need to be cautious around him in case he wanted to test Jaune's skill with a fight as well.
The Airship landed and Jaune quickly ran out of the airship and found the nearest trashcan a puked his breakfast out. He wiped his mouth and regained his dignity, or at least what was left of it.
'I think I'm starting to get the hang of my motion sickness a little' Jaune told himself
"WATCH OUT!"
Jaune turned his head only to see a flying black and white corgi heading in his direction, Jaune's eyes widened with shock, and the corgi collided and they rolled across the ground like Sonic the hedgehog. After rolling for a while and both Jaune and the dog becoming dizzy, Jaune kept seeing two of everything before his vision returned to normal. He looked to the dog that was sitting on his lap shaking its head before looking up at him with a happy expression
"Arf! Arf!" the corgi barked
"Hey, there little guy, what's your name?" Jaune asked him with a smile
"ZWEI!"
Jaune looked up and away from the dog and looked up only to see the last two people he had expected to see here on Patch. Running toward him was none other than Ruby Rose and her half-sister, Yang Xiao-long. Jaune was actually very happy to see them, as he got up with the Corgi, now known as Zwei, in his hands.
When Ruby saw Jaune with Zwei, she smiled brightly and ran over to him with her arms wide open.
"Oh my gosh! Jaune!" Ruby cried
Jaune smiled as Ruby and Yang reached him and he handed Zwei back to Ruby. Ruby cuddled him as she gave him a smile and Jaune just smiled as he watched the scene play before him.
Ruby turned to Jaune with a smile, "It's so good to see you again, Jaune!" Ruby said
"Same here Ruby," Jaune said with a smile,
"What, not happy to see me as well VB?" Yang asked with a cheeky smile
He smiled then turned to Yang and gave her a small wave, "Hey Yang, good to see you again too"
"How's Beacon!?" Ruby asked with excitement, "Come on! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" Ruby asked
Jaune smiled and shook his head, "Beacon's pretty awesome, been learning a lot," Jaune said
"Oh, yeah, like what?" Yang asked
"I've been training a lot more and I'm pretty good now, but since I haven't unlocked my Semblance yet, I've actually been using Aura Techniques," Jaune said with a proud smile "Beside's that, I've learned a lot from my friends and teachers there"
"Aw! That so cool!" Ruby said
Yang nodded in agreement, "Yeah, too bad we didn't get in" Yang said with a smile
Jaune just looked back at them, "Well, you should have tried harder" He said with a smirk on his face,
yang smiled, "Hey, trust me VB, next year, I'll be seeing you around, and then we'll see who should've tried harder," Yang said
Jaune chuckled, "Right," he said "Anyway, the reason I'm here is that I'm looking for someone here who could help me train me and teach me more about Aura Techniques," Jaune told them
"Who is it? We can help you find them," Ruby said
Jaune smiled, "Really?" Jaune asked
Yang nodded, "Yeah, we pretty much know everyone on the Island," Yang said
"Cool, I'm looking for a Signal academy teacher, by the name of Taiyang," Jaune said, "You know him?"
Ruby and Yang's eye's widened with surprise, "You're looking for our DAD!?" They asked
"YOUR DAD!?" Jaune cried
.
.
.
"I'm not buying!" Yang said with a smile
Currently, The three teens and Zwei were walking back to Ruby and Yang's home, which they said wasn't that far away, and while on the way there, Jaune had told them what he had done at Beacon.
"I'm serious! I killed the Goliath with one of my Aura Techniques!" Jaune told her
"I'd like to see just how strong this technique of yours is, If it can kill a Goliath, then I wonder how I'd hold my own against it," Yang said
"Me too! I wanna see these cool powers of Yours too!" Ruby said "I wonder if I can learn them as well"
"I'll show you guys when we get to your house, and maybe your dad can teach you how to use them," Jaune told Ruby
"OH! I hope he does!" Ruby said
Eventually, they had seen the Home of the two girls and Zwei was excited to be home that he quickly ran off with such speed, June was sure he had some sort of speed semblance.
As they got closer to the house, Jaune saw the beautiful home that Ruby and Yang lived it, and funny enough, their home reminded Jaune of his, and it made him reminisce about his home and made him feel comfortable. He then noticed a figure by the small garden of the house, it was a man.
He had blond hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes. His facial hair consists of a soul patch and small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo of his Emblem, which resembles a heart. As for his hair, it was blond but far more subdued.
He had a red bandana on his left arm and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve of the shirt cut off, and he wore a pair of brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, and for protection, he wore a metal spaulder, leather vambrace and a brown fingerless glove all on his right arm.
For Jaune, it didn't take a genius to figure out who this man was. This was Taiyang Xiao-Long, a master of Aura techniques and Signal academy teacher.
When they had arrived right in front of the house, Taiyang, looked over to his daughters and smiled, and he then noticed Jaune and continued to smile.
"Hey, girls, welcome home," He said with a smile,
"Hey, dad!" Ruby said with a smile, "This is-"
"Jaune Arc, the only first-year at Beacon Academy, Part of the Arc Family, grandson to The Betty Arc, and Rookie to Aura Techniques," Taiyang said "Ozpin told me everything he could about you" he finished with a smile
Jaune was a bit surprised, "Oh uh... well it's nice to meet you too Mr. Xiao-Long" Jaune said with a smile, "Ozpin's told me a bit about you as well"
Taiyang smiled, "I'm sure he has, and you can call me Tai, Jaune, Mr. Xiao-Long makes me feel old," He said
"You are old, Old man" Yang pipped in
"Erk!" Tai looked over to his daughter with a bit of a sad expression, but he then quickly turned back to Jaune, "... Anyway, I hear that you're training to learn Aura techniques, is that really true?" Tai asked
Jaune nodded, "yeah," Jaune replied
"If I may ask, why?" Tai asked "Not many new huntsmen really want to learn about using Aura techniques these days,"
"I don't have a Semblance yet, and my swordplay isn't as good as most, so I needed an edge, and that's when my friend, Yatsuhashi had told me about Aura techniques, and He and another friend have been teaching some of them," Jaune told Tai, "I managed to learn a few, However... I had an incident with one of them and I realized I need to train them more"
Tai nodded, "And let me guess, Ozpin said he would teach you about it more?" Tai asked
Jaune was a bit surprised to hear this, "Yeah, how did you-"
"Because he did the same with me," Tai said with a chuckle,
"WHOA! Hold on!" came the voice of Yang, she looked to her father and Jaune, "Dad, you were taught by Ozpin himself!?"
Tai scratched the back of his head as he laughed, "Yeah, though it was a long time ago," Tai said
"But he taught you how to use Aura techniques?" Yang asked him
Tai nodded,
"Then why haven't you taught them to us?" Yang asked, "I mean if Ozpin took an interest in you and Jaune because you wanted to learn about Aura techniques, then the means they must really be some crazy stuff, so why not teach me and Ruby them?"
"Because you and Ruby couldn't master them, ever," Tai said
"Huh? Why?" Ruby asked
"Because Most of them drain your Aura," Tai said "The reason I never taught you them was because of your Aura levels, and your Semblances"
"What do you mean?" Yang asked
"Both of your Aura levels is 100%, the average percentage of any Huntsmen, and while you could use certain Techniques, but mastery is impossible," Tai said "Yang, Your semblance allows you to convert any damage you take into a powerful attack and give it back almost tenfold, however, when you use your semblance, Your aura and the damage both it and your body has taken, convert into your semblance and use it to a certain point, meaning you would be low on Aura and thus couldn't use an aura technique to its full power"
"Then what about me?" Ruby asked
"It's a bit of the same," Tai said "Your semblance allows you to move at insane speeds, however, the more speed you use, the more it slowly eats at your aura, not as much as Yangs though,"
"I think I get what you're talking about Tai" Jaune chimed in "But what I don't get is how one can master them if Semblances eat at your Aura,"
"Because not all Semblance eat away at Aura," Tai said "However, certain Semblances, like Yang and Ruby's, which convert Aura into what could be classified as superpowers, instead of boosting physical abilities, as Aura does," Tai said
"Then why is it possible for you and Jaune to master them?" Ruby asked
Tai looked to his youngest daughter, "Because of our large Aura levels" Tai told Ruby
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked
"Most people who have their aura unlocked and train to be Huntsmen have the average Aura percentage of 100%, however, there are very few who have Aura levels higher than most," Tai said
"Then what is your Aura level at Dad?" Ruby asked
"Before I unlocked my Semblance it was around 300%," Tai said "Though with My Semblance awakened, I learned it was 500% percent fully, the reason for this was because supposedly my Semblance kept certain parts of my Aura reserves locked"
Ruby nodded and understood what her dad was saying, she then looked over to Jaune, "What about you, Jaune?" Ruby asked
"Truth be told, I don't know," Jaune said "Whenever Professor Goodwitch or Peach got a feel for my Aura they said it was hard to read due to how much I have, so the percentage is unknown and I've just been calibrating my Scroll at the normal 100% Percentage"
Tai smiled, "That may say a lot about the potential you have Jaune," Tai said "But let's move away from the teaching lesson and let's get you settled here before we begin your training," Tai said,
With that Tai, Yang, and Ruby invite Jaune in and lead him to the guest room where he would be staying, for now, Jaune thanked them for their hospitality.
.
.
.
Jaune, now dressed for training was outside and on the side of the house where Tai, Yang, and Ruby were waiting for him. He noticed that Yang and Ruby had their weapons with them. Seeing this, Jaune had a feeling he knew what was next.
Jaune sighed, "Alright, which one of you am I fighting?" Jaune said
"Smart kid," Tai said "You'll be fighting Yang and Ruby while I watch, I want to see how you use these techniques, how long you are able to use them and see how you could work on them," Tai told him "But first, I want you to tell me what Techniques you are able to use,"
Jaune nodded as he looked at Tai, "I first used "Aura Slash" but I and a few of my friends renamed it to "Arca Mortis" Instead" Jaune said
"Cool name,"
"Thanks"
"Oh my gods their both dorks" Yang muttered with a laugh
"Beside's Arca Mortis, I've mostly been using "Aura Step" and "Aura Sight" when I fight," Jaune told him
Tai looked at him with a smile but also a surprised expression, "You can use these Techniques already?" Tai asked
"Yeah, why?" Jaune asked Tai
"All three of these techniques are very unique, I'm surprised at how fast you've learned them," Tai told Jaune, "Well, now I know what Techniques you use, I can evaluate what I need to watch for and how you need to work on them, now I just need to see it in action," Tai said
Jaune nodded, "So who am I going to be facing first?"
"That'll be me, Vomit Boy~," Yang said playfully from his right
Jaune looked over to the blonde girl as she punched her fist together and give him a confident smile. He gulped, but he moved over to the open side yard and faced Yang. He unsheathed Crocea Mors and deployed his shield and prepared to fight Yang.
Yang quickly came in swinging hard, and Jaune raised his shield and he took the punch which moved him back a few inches.
Yang smiled, She didn't know anyone who didn't fly back with her first hit, she always tried to deliver one of her strongest punches on the first move in order to throw a person off-balance. However, Jaune was able to tank her hit pretty well, and that made her smile because that means he may put up a challenge.
Jaune looked at her and readied himself to attack, he pushed his Aura into Crocea Mors, and then swung the blade upward at Yang, and an Arcus Mortis shot from the blade and directly at Yang, she was a bit stunned but she blocked the attack, however, the attack sent her flying back, however she managed to land on her feet and looked over to Jaune, she smiled and then cocked her gauntlets and fire two shots from both of them.
Jaune activated Aura Sight, and he saw the shots coming at him in slow motion and he quickly saw the shots coming, he quickly dodged the shots, but when he did, he saw Yang rushing at him, he quickly and she pulled her fist back and punched Jaune, causing him to stumble to the side, but he quickly regained himself and slashed at her, but she managed to dodge it by backing up. Yang then shot another round at Jaune, but he quickly used his shield in order to block the attack.
The shot forced him back a little but he then charged up his aura into Crocea Mors, and he swung the blade at Yang and sent another Arcus Mortis at Yang but she managed to dodge it and smiled but she looked ahead and saw another Arcus Mortis being thrown her way, She didn't have time to block it and she was it by it, sending her back.
Jaune charged up another Arcus Mortis and sent another at Yang just as she was being sent back, the third Arcus Mortis hit her and Jaune smiled as he charged up another one, 'Gotta keep hitting her with Arcus Mortis, can't let her get back up!' Jaune thought to himself
Tai smiled, he knew what Jaune was trying to do, but what Jaune didn't realize was that he was giving Yang exactly what she needed to end the fight. He looked over to Ruby, "What are their Aura Levels at Ruby?" Tai asked
Ruby looked at the scroll with wide eyes, "Both of their Aura's are lowering down slowly! Jaune's at 89% whole Yang's at 85%!" Ruby cried "I've never seen anyone hold against Yang for so long!" Ruby said with a smiled
"Who'd You think will win?" Tai asked his daughter
Ruby shrugged, "This time I really don't know," Ruby said "Jaune's holding his own against Yang and I've never known anyone to last this long against yang, but Jaune... he's giving Yang the Ammo she needs to win this fight!"
Tai nodded in agreement, He would wonder how Jaune would fair when Yang used her semblance which if he was right... would be activating right about-
Suddenly a large explosion where Yang erupted and spread, Jaune blocked the coming flames with his shield and he could feel the heat, he then quickly looked at Yang and saw that her eyes were red, her hair was glowing and the ends of her long hair were on fire.
'So this must be her Semblance' Jaune thought, 'I gotta say, it's really terrifying'
For a second, Jaune felt fear, but then his mind wandered back to what Ozpin said. He steeled himself,
'I can't let my fear control me!' Jaunr cried to himself, and eventually, the fear began to leave him as he steeled himself.
Yang looked at him with an angry expression, she looked like she was about to rip him limb from limb. Which was probably was gonna do. However, when she saw Jaune looking at her, he wasn't afraid, he was just smiling, which seemed to anger her more. "Why are you Grinning like that?" Yang asked with a growl and her fist balled up and tightened
Jaune had no idea why he was smiling a well, but he kept doing it. "I don't know..." he said
"Well be prepared Vomit Boy... I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face!" Yang Cried
She reeled her fist back and jumped at him with a great amount of speed. Jaune knew he couldn't dodge the attack, and if he blocked the attack with his shield would either be dented badly, probably breaking his arm too... so instead of dodging the attack, he charged up Crocea Mors with Aura as well as activated Aura Sight and waited till Yang was close with her attack.
Yang was still charging in quickly with her fist reeled back, while Jaune was ready to swing his sword up at her. Both looked at each other ready to deliver a powerful blow to the other. Both were now in close proximity to the other and Yang threw her fist at Jaune and Jaune finally swung his blade upward at Yang.
Their attacks clashed and seemed to be at somewhat of a standstill. Both attacks hit but they also weren't budging.
Yang was getting angrier as she saw that Jaune had withstood her attack, while he was still smiling, meanwhile, Jaune was just surprised he wasn't flung back or caused Crocea Mors to break.
'Hopefully, this works on the fly!' Jaune thought as he continued to smile
"Arcus Mortis!" Jaune cried
Yang's eyes widened as a large burst of an Arcus Mortis shot out from Jaune's sword and hit her fist and the rest of her body. This hit her greatly and blew her back, but not just her, it also sent Jaune flying back. Both were separated and both tumbled back on the ground.
Tai watched as both of them slowly got up and Tai looked over to Ruby with a smile, "Aura levels Rubes?" Tai asked
"Both are at 50%!" Ruby cried with amazement,
"Alright, the fights over," Tai said as he walked in between them both as they stood on their feet
Jaune kept smiling as he got up and Yang's expression went from anger to a smile.
Yang looked at Jaune and gave him thumbs up, "Nice going there Vomit Boy!" She said with a smile "Let's call this a draw"
Jaune chuckled and nodded, "Sure, sounds good" Jaune replied
Tai smiled, seeing that both actually had a good fight and seemed to be on friendly terms after it. Tai turned to Jaune, "You held up pretty good Jaune, Yang is one of the best fighters to graduate from Signal Academy, and not many people could last as long as you did" Tai said
Jaune was surprised but also a bit embarrassed but he smiled, "Ah, well thank you Tai" Jaune said with a goofy smile
"And as for me?" Yang asked with a smug grin
"You did well as always Yang, but I also know for a fact that you took Jaune here lightly, assuming he would be like everyone else and you win quick, and what have I always taught you?"
Yang sighed, "Don't underestimate an opponent" she said in an annoyed tone
"That's right, and be serious about that lesson Yang, there will always be someone better than you out there," Tai told his daughter
Hearing that, Jaune was taken back to his training with Sun and Yatsuhashi, and then he remembered back to his fight with Roman and his spar with Ozpin. Jaune knew all too well that there were people a lot stronger than him, and they're always would be. This is why he needed to be stronger to at least give them a fight.
Tai looked back to Jaune, "As for your Techniques, Jaune, I see what you most needed to work on" Tai said "Your Aura control is good, your ability to quickly and safely move it around your body parts is good, but when I saw you use "Aura Sight" in noticed you didn't use it for long despite how well you were able to use it... If I'm right something happened that caused you to not use it too much in fear of suffering the effects of using it too much, right?" Tai asked
Jaune nodded, "It was in a fight with Roman Torchwick... I used it too much and I started to bleed from my eye... and because I couldn't use it better, I put me and a friend in danger" Jaune said
Ruby growled, "Torchwick, big ol' jerk" Ruby muttered
Tai nodded, "I see, So you overused it and you want to master it more without going overboard each time?" asked Tai
Jaune nodded.
Tai nodded, "Alright, then this is what we'll do" Tai began "What we need to do it up the training with certain Aura Techniques within the week, little by little, your use the technique just a bit longer, but not to the point where the technique causes the black lash," Tai said
Jaune nodded, "I get it, strengthen it more and more by using it little by little" Jaune said
Tai nodded again, "The goal is to get you Awaken the rest of the Technique, it might not be complete mastery but you might be close"
Jaune was a bit surprised to hear that, "You really think that's possible?" Jaune asked
Tai chuckled, "From what Ozpin told me, you learned that "Arcus Mortis" Trick of yours in a day and on accident, I'm hoping to see you do the impossible"
Jaune looked at Tai and smiled back at the older man, it was nice to know that he made such a good impression on Tai, and it was good to know that even Tai, believed in him. Jaune sheathed Crocea Mors and walked over to Yang and Ruby and talked to them as Tai watched him interact with his daughters.
Tai smiled, and when he looked at Jaune talking to Ruby and Yang, for a split second, he didn't see Jaune or his daughters. Instead, he saw himself, back during his beacon days, talking with a Young Raven and a Young Summer. His eyes widened a little before he blinked and shook his head, he then looked back, only to see his daughters and Jaune.
'Huh, Ozpin was right... he does remind me of me back in the day' Tai thought
