Arc and Deku Bond of Being Weak
A loud clink sound of two metal objects collided was made when Jaune blocks a heavy attack of a mace from a fellow classmate, and school bully with a cocky attitude, Cardin as he smirks slowly pushing Jaune down using most of his strength in his legs not to falter. Jaune acted fast by jump bending both legs close to him and spring them to kick Cardin in the stomach pushing him away about five feet and quickly got back up in a defense stance again. Cardin growls tightening the grip on the handle of his mace and charges swinging his mace with one hand to smack Jaune away only to hit nothing but air as Jaune dodges them thinking quick on his feet and ram his shield to the side knocking the armored student down, but not out.
Cardin shook his head to regain his focus and look up at Jaune looking down on him with a grin while keeping his shield up, this does not sit well for Cardin did not like having his butt kicked by a weak blonde dude, he gets up and glares at Jaune which send a little shiver down his spine but refuse to show fear as he stands firm as he slowly walk around him. Cardin let out a battle-cry charging at Jaune with the head of the mace high in the air and swings it down hard against the shield again, this time forcing Jaune down on one knee as he struggles against Cardin superior strength.
"This is the part where you lose." Cardin smirked, looking at Jaune's worried face but quickly change to a confident smile.
"Maybe, though Izuku is right about one thing: you are heavier than me." Jaune said, making Cardin confuses.
"What's that supposes to meAAH?!" Cardin screamed suddenly being pulled in by Jaune as he performs the Circular throw to force Cardin out of the ring as he lands on his back a little hurt.
"And that's ends the match!" A man shouted.
The man is a very large man with an equally muscular and well-defined physique. He has short blond hair, swept backwards, with two distinct tufts that stick up above his head, leaning slightly to each side, which often casts a dark shadow over his face, hiding everything but his bright blue eyes. He wears a skin-tight blue bodysuit decorated with a red symbol that somewhat resembles a "Y", designed with a white diamond at its center, with white lines connected to it that trace from his chest to his back shoulders, the lines trimmed with the aforementioned red symbol. The symbol appeared to have wings on the side that ran from the atop his torso before ending around his back, over which was a similar red and white design absent of the white diamond. Large white patches lined with red covered each side of his hips before ending at his lower thighs, and he wore a gold belt that had a silver buckle with red eyes. His forearm sleeves were colored in gold that each had white lines covered in blue accents over his wrists and had spiked fins on the sides of his arms, his feet were covered in shin-length gold boots trimmed with white and red accents.
"Well done, Young Jaune, you have shown great improvement on finally defeating Cardin! Wouldn't you agree, Professor Goodwitch?" The tall-muscle man asked his fellow staff.
"Yes, Professor Yagi, I admit you show some growth dealing with Cardin today as you saw through his attacks and used his own strength against you, and with your Aura level slightly to the red zone." Glynda said.
"Thank you, I had some help with Izuku figuring out Cardin's fighting style." Jaune said, looking at the other students who were watching the whole match seeing Izuku smile shyly.
"It's always good to have help from friends including those from different teams, it's important to talk about strategies but be sure not to reveal everything, you know?" Professor Yagi lectured.
"Indeed, in official matches like a tournament style when one opponent is knock off the ring that's declares a lose or when your Aura level drop to the red zone meaning you can no longer fight." Glynda explained.
"Take extra precautions for when the Vytal Festival comes in just a few months away. Train hard, hone everything you got including working with your team. Forming strong bonds in one's heart will be your key to victory!" Professor Yagi shouted proudly while doing a pose and the students cheer.
(Lunch Time)
In one or two able tables put together for Team RWBY, JNPR, DDJM, and IMML are sitting together as they talk about some stuff like Nora with her dream though Ren always corrects them as he somehow knew what she was dreaming.
"Man, whenever I get into Combat Class, I always feel thrill to see Professor Yagi in class." Jaune said.
"You said it, Jaune! For HE is the one and only All Might, Symbol of Peace and the Number 1 Huntsman in the world! And he's our teacher!" Makoto exclaimed exciting.
"The guy is so cool going around the world saving lives like a real-live Superhero!" Luffy said with his eyes sparkling of stars.
"Yes, All Might is a man who always smiles whenever he fights villains or saving lives, showing everyone that he'll always be there to help." Izuku excited.
"I can certainly understand of you wanting to become like him consider all those All Might stuff you have when we were unpacking." Medaka pointed out.
"Well, huh, I just admired him so much, that's all." Izuku embarrassed when Medaka brought it up.
"(And the fact that I'm All Might's successor of his Semblance, which is a big secret that I can't tell anyone even to my friends.)" Izuku thought.
"Anyway, Izuku, I want to thank you for giving me some of those advices. Thanks to that I was finally able to beat him." Jaune thanked Izuku for his help.
"Oh please, it was nothing, you were the one who came up with the idea of using Cardin's brute heavy attacks and weight against him." Izuku stated.
"Yeah, but you were the one who did the analyses on Cardin's fighting style, that was a really big help!" Jaune commented.
Truth is, Izuku understands what is like to be weak compare to others and being picked for most of his life because he was once a powerless boy with no aura or Semblance until he met All Might that changed his life forever, learning his secrets and being chosen to carry on the torch of Justice. He can certainly relate himself to Jaune consider his lack of skills and training, but never gave up on his dream of becoming a Huntsman like he does.
"If I didn't know any better, I say you two are the strategist together." Dante pointed out.
"I'm just glad that you're finally standing up to him, consider all the bullying he did to you." Pyrrha expressed her gratitude to her partner.
"Thanks, though honestly I didn't let all that bother me or else I would be giving Cardin something out of me." Jaune explained why he doesn't complain much.
"That's good and all, but I think it would've been better to report this to the teachers." Jotaro said.
"He's right, it would be the right thing to do." Daidouji agreed.
"Like how Cardin is picking on that Faunus girl right now?" Ruby pointed at the table across them.
Everyone turns around to see Cardin is picking on a bunny-Faunus by pulling on her ear as she begs him to stop and he with his team laugh at her.
"Atrocious. I can't stand people like him." Pyrrha angered.
"He's not the only one…" Blake glared.
"It must be hard being a Faunus." Yang pitted for the bunny girl.
Izuku couldn't stand seeing people like Cardin treat Faunus like that just because they're different than humans, doesn't mean they're not like them, they have free will too and should coexist like others believe. This remains him of his childhood friend who is a Faunus never let anyone break his spirit because he wants to be the best in the world and surpass All Might because he admires him too, this gave him the courage to stand up and walk toward Cardin.
"Hey, where you're going Izuku?" Makoto asked.
"I think he's about to show that idiot a thing or two." Dante smiled, wanting to see how Izuku will handle this.
P-please stop." The Bunny-Faunus begged, but her words fail to reach him.
"Oh, look at the freak begging like a dog." Cardin laughed as his team did too.
Then suddenly something smacks Cardin's hand hard enough to let go of the bunny-Faunus's ear much to her relief, they look to see Izuku standing in front of them with his legs shaking a little.
"I think it's about time you stop this." Izuku said firm.
"Oh looks, it's the green pipsqueak coming to rescue the freak." Cardin insulted.
"Cardin, she's a living being like everyone else including humans, so we learn to live peacefully with them." Izuku lectured. Makoto and Blake smiles of Izuku words of loving Faunus equally as everyone are also impress of this.
"Live with a bunch of animals, no way, that don't deserve to be where nor even exist at all." Cardin said angry.
"Don't you see all that negative emotions toward each other is what drives the Grimm, the common enemy we should ALL be working together to fight." Izuku pointed out.
"Oh please, the only thing these freaks are good for is bait for the Grimm." Cardin stated.
Izuku felt hurt that a fellow Huntsman-in-training would say such awful things and wonder if Cardin really deserves being here in Beacon.
"You're wrong." Jaune said, also feeling some courage walking next to Izuku.
"She nor any other Faunus are expendable, they have every right like everyone else like wanting to become Hunters. Who knows, maybe you'll see that someday when you're save by one." Jaune said.
"Yeah right, the day a Faunus save my life is the day I run away to join a circus." Cardin rolled his eyes.
"Actually, I think would be better off in a circus being a clown." Jaune joked making Izuku laugh as well as Cardin's team.
Cardin glares at his team shutting them up, he looks back at the two not seeing any fear in their eyes only brave and honest which really pisses him off as he clenches his fist.
"What you two think you're all big and strong just for standing up for an animal freak. You're nothing but weak babies." Cardin insulted.
"…Maybe you're right, even though we are strong there are still things in the world that are stronger than us, even after we graduated the world is still bigger than us. But that doesn't matter because being a Hunter means we have to put our lives on the line to protect others, even showing mercy to our enemies so we can show them we're better." Izuku said on how he feels about being a Hunter.
"He's right, we're all here to become Hunters to help everyone in need to fight Grimm and other bad people out there. You'd be surprise of how weaklings like us can do so much than you can." Jaune said crossing his arms together.
That tick Cardin off as he grinds his teeth and his eye twitches, burning in rage that these two scaredy cats are actually standing up him like he is nothing to them anymore, he didn't like this one bit as he wanted everyone to respect him as the top dog of the school or else, they suffer the consequences.
"You two are so gonna get it!" Cardin growled as he reels back his fist to punch them, but suddenly something big grabbing his arm.
"And what exactly do you mean by that, Mister Winchester?"
Cardin gulps as his expression change to fear slowly turning his around to see his team all hugging together like their life depends on it while shaking in fear, then he saw the assistance Combat teacher All Might, otherwise known as Professor Toshinori Yagi with his usual smile though to Cardin it looks very intimidating.
"A-A-All Might, sir… What are you doing here?" Cardin stuttered as he starts sweating.
"(All Might, you're here?)" Izuku thought shocked, wondering why his secret mentor is here now.
"Well, I was enjoying my own lunch time with some of the other teachers, but I just this suddenly got this curious picture of you bullying a young girl. Care to explain that?" All Might showed the picture of Cardin pulling on the bunny-Faunus's ear.
"Oh, well… I was… huh…" Cardin tried to come up with a lie, but he's too scared to lie to the Number 1 Huntsman in Remnanat.
"He was picking on her because he thinks Faunus are freaks and that they don't deserve to be here." Izuku answered, repeating the words Cardin said earlier.
"Is that so? Well, young man, it would seem you lack the knowledge and heart on what it truly means to be a Huntsman. I think I'll leave the punishment to Professor Goodwitch for you and your team." All Might said.
Cardin colors went pale as he knows how strict and scary that lady can be when it comes to discipline using either her Semblance or just her death-glare alone is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine who foolishly dares to mess with her. His teammates also went pale too.
"Now, team CRDL, I already informed Professor Goodwtich about this and she's expecting you at her office now. Best not to keep her waiting." All Might said.
Cardin glares at Izuku and Jaune, making a mental promise to have his revenge on them, after he survives Professor Goodwitches punishment as they walk out of the cafeteria.
"Thank you both for helping me." The bunny-Faunus thanked.
"It's no problem, we're just helping others." Jaune said.
"You should probably get back to your team right now, just to be safe." Izuku advised, the girl nodded and walk away.
"To think, young Cardin would pick on a second-year like that." All Might said.
"Huh, she's a second year?" Izuku asked surprises.
"Yes, her name is Velvet Scarlatina, part of Team CFVY." All Might informed.
"I commend on your heroic bravery for defending her, you two will definitely become great Huntsmen." All Might complimented.
"Wow, hearing you say that makes me feel glad, sir." Jaune amazed that he impressed All Might himself.
"By the way, how did you know about the bullying?" Izuku asked.
"You mean you didn't know, the picture I got on my scroll was from your partner Medaka." All Might revealed.
Izuku became shock and quickly turn his head facing Medaka still sitting at her sit as she gave him a wink and held up her scroll.
"You definitely got some good friends here, young Izuku, don't ever lose that and it'll be your strength. That goes for you too, young Jaune." All Might said.
"Yes sir!" Jaune and Izuku said at the same time and went back to their friends.
"(It looks like you're becoming more than I hope, young Izuku, I'll do my best to help grow strong like that. That spirit of yours will certainly help on becoming the Next Symbol of Peace.)" All Might thought before walking away heading to his office.
"Hey Jaune, there's something I want to talk to you about, meet me on the rooftop at night and bring Pyrrha along." Izuku said.
"Okay, we'll be there." Jaune agreed to the time.
