Hokuto Helping the Arc
In a wide open room there's Jaune standing with his sword in one hand and his shield in the other, panting a little but still standing strong as he face with a fellow student of Beacon who is also the school bully, Cardin Winchester with a cocky smirk and a big mace in his one hand.
"You ready to give up?" Cardin asked.
"Over my dead body." Jaune responded strongly.
"That can arrange." Cardin said before charging at Jaune.
Jaune blocks the incoming mace with his shield holding it off for a few seconds and striking it away with his sword and kick Cardin in the stomach to push back a few feet before ramming him with his shield sending him further back. Cardin got angry and try striking the blonde boy with his mace though Jaune manages avoid them and strike him with his sword for each dodge then Cardin raised the mace with both hands and swings down as Jaune blocks it with his shield again.
"This is the part where you lose." Cardin pointed out as he overwhelms him with his strength.
"Well, then it's a good thing you're heavier than me." Jaune smirked.
Cardin became confused of what he meant and notice that Jaune has dropped himself bringing the bully in and push his legs onto his stomach and threw him off to the other side which was outside the stage they were on. Cardin slightly groans from the impact to the ground.
"And that's the match!" Glynda announced ending the sparring match.
"Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc has pushed Mr. Winchester off the stage before his aura drops to the red zone." Glynda said showing a hologram screen of Jaune and Cardin with their aura levels, both in yellow but Cardin's is higher.
"In a tournament-style, it would indicate that Cardin is out of the match leaving the one remain standing on the stage the winner, I would also like to mention that should your aura level drop to the red zone, that would mean you are no longer able to fight and that officially call the match." Glynda explained the rule of the Vytal Tournament.
"Well done, Mr. Arc, despite you lack of strength and such at first you're improving over the weeks even though it's a little and claimed your first victory, also clever enough to use your opponent's strength against him." Glynda said looking at the angry Cardin.
"He just got lucky." Cardin grunted before leaving to sit down with his team.
Jaune smiles feeling proud of himself that he has finally defeat Cardin and look out seeing his team being happy for him; Nora is literally jumping in joy while shouting a little as Ren claps for his team leader with a smile, and just looks at him feeling grateful she has someone like him in her life every since they met. Team RWBY are also cheering for Jaune too, well most of them Weiss is still shocked that Jaune who was being a weakling during their time in Beacon have suddenly made some improvement and won his first battle. Kibo is smiling and giving the Arc boy a thumb up for doing a good job in that fight.
"Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!" Glynda mentioned and everyone got all excited for the Tournament.
(Lunch Time)
"I'm telling you guys, I never felt more alive than I already am!" Jaune chuckled, he felt like that fight he won was a dream, he had to keep pitching himself to make sure it wasn't a dream.
"I'm really proud of you, Jaune, you got your first victory from some training you've been doing." Pyrrha complimented, petting Jaune on the shoulder.
"Thanks, I had some help from Kibo whenever I'm struggling with the most parts." Jaune said.
"I didn't do anything much, Jaune. I only dropped some hints and you figured them out quickly, you definitely got a bright mind in there." Kibo commented, believing Jaune is smarter than he realize.
"Oh stop, you're making me blush." Jaune embarrassed scratching the back of his head.
"Yeah, maybe they'll show Cardin to mess with ever again." Ruby excited for her first friend in Beacon.
"I don't know about that, guys like him can be stubborn to stop." Yang stated.
"He's more Atrocious if you ask me." Pyrrha said in a small anger tone.
"Yeah, being a jerk to everybody." Jaune agreed moving his food around with his fork.
"More to the Faunus." Kibo added.
"Ow! That hurts!" A girl cried out in pain.
Everyone turn their sight to seeing Cardin with his team laughing while picking on a poor girl because of her being a Faunus with long bunny ears.
She has long brown hair and brown eyes. She is wearing the Beacon Academy uniform, which consists of a white, form-fitting top, with a collar lined with black and a pink ribbon tied neatly below. She also appears wearing a dark-brown, long-sleeved jacket that comes down around her chest over the shirt. Her leggings consist of two parts: a pair of dark-brown shorts and a pair of black form-fitting leggings that come to just below her hips. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"Please, stop…" The bunny girl begged.
"I told you they're real." Cardin laughed with his team calling her a freak.
"I really wish we could teach that guy a lesson, right Kibo?" Jaune asked, but no response.
"Kibo?" Jaune asked again, turning around only to find that Kibo is not sitting with the group anymore and everyone just notice that.
"Where'd he go?" Blake asked.
Nora looked around until she spotted him.
"I see him, over there with Cardin!" Nora pointed at Kibo standing near team CRDL.
"Let the girl go, Cardin." Kibo demanded with a serious death-glare.
"Ha! Make me." Cardin taunted not even bother to look at Kibo.
Kibo grabbed Cardin's wrist squeezing it tightly also crushing the armor wristband causing him the wince in pain and forcing his hand to let go of the bunny girl.
"Are you crazy?" Cardin asked in pain.
"Crazy enough to help an innocent girl from a bully, then yes, that does make me crazy." Kibo said standing in front of the bunny girl for protection.
"You freak lover!" Cardin shouted about to throw a punch.
Kibo moved his hand faster than the eyes can see pressing two fingers through his chest plate and to his chest making Cardin all freeze up like his whole body has stopped moving from a brain shut down, only his brain is fully awake.
"What the… what did you do to me?" Cardin asked, freaking out that he can't even move a finger.
"I pressed your known as Shintanchū, your body will be unable to move unless I say so. Meaning if you want to move again, you'll have to treat Faunus better like people." Kibo explained.
"Like Hell… I will." Cardin grunted.
"Then you will remain like that for sometime." Kibo said as he poke Cardin's forehead with his finger making the frozen bully fall on the floor.
Kibo looks at Cardin's team as they shake in fear a little while huddling together.
"Take your leader and leave, never let me see you in my sight ever again." Kibo threatened with a dark tone that send shivers down their spines.
They bowed rapidly apologizing to Kibo and the rabbit girl and quickly pick up Cardin over their heads then made ran for their life out of the cafeteria while screaming like they just experience something from a horror movie and Kibo was the main monster.
Kibo turns to the rabbit girl who was shocked the display he just did.
"They don't be bothering you anymore, you okay?" Kibo asked, concern for the girl.
"Y-yes, I'm okay, thank you for helping me." The rabbit girl thanked nervous.
"I always happy to help others from thugs like them, I'm Kibo Hokuto." Kibo introduced.
"Velvet Scarlatina." Velvet stare at Kibo for a moment like just looking at him makes her feel warm and her heart acting strange too.
"Well, I should get going, goodbye." Velvet said leaving to find her own table.
Kibo walk back to the group as they are all surprised of his actions.
"You sir, are a TOTAL badass!" Nora cheered.
"I agree, helping the girl from Cardin is a noble thing." Ren said respectfully.
"Yeah, and it certainly shows that you care deeply for Faunus like any other people." Blake commented.
I'm always willing to help others whatever my fists are needed, as Successor of Hokuto Shinken I will keep on fighting until the day I die!" Kibo said serious clutching his fists.
"Wow, I wish I could've met you years before coming here maybe I could use a little Hokuto Shinken myself." Jaune said, thinking of himself being awesome with that martial art.
"Sorry Jaune, even if you came to our dojo you wouldn't like the rule to those who aren't chosen as the Successor." Kibo chuckled.
"Don't you have lots of students there?" Yang asked curious.
"No, it just only just been me and my Master who raised into the arts of Hokuto Shinken. If there are more students like me, then it would've been a competition to see who get the title. Hokuto Shinken is a very powerful martial art style that can only be passed down to a single Successor." Kibo stated.
"Then what happen to those who loses?" Weiss asked.
"They would either have their fists sealed never to fight again or have their memories erase, unless you remain within the Hokuto Temple those are your only options if you want to go into the outside world." Kibo explained shocking his friends.
"You know what, I think I'm good with what I got right now." Jaune take back about wanting to learn Hokuto Shinken.
"I second that." Pyrrha agreed.
"Still, I bet Ren would be a great student in the arts adding his skills of a ninja!" Nora pointed out as she pose like a ninja.
Everyone laughs of Nora's crazy imagination though even Kibo thinks Ren would be a great student and rival for the title of Successor.
(Later)
"Man, Doctor Oobleck sure loves more history than he looks." Jaune sighed walking out of the classroom with Kibo and Pyrrha.
"Though you still should pay more attention to the lessons otherwise the teachers are going to be harder on you." Pyrrha reminded.
During history class, Jaune was half-sleep as Doctor Oobleck was telling the class about the Faunus history like the time of the battle in Fortcastle and he asked Jaune a question. Pyrrha tried to help with charades, but Jaune mistaken what she was trying to say for binoculars which the answer was actually night vision then got lecture after class.
"Hey Pyrrha, mind giving me and Jaune some alone time I wanted to talk to him about something." Kibo asked her to leave.
"Sure, Jaune, I'll be at the rooftop tonight meet me there once you're done." Pyrrha said before walking away.
"What's up Kibo?" Jaune asked.
"Jaune, I think it's time you told Pyrrha the truth about yourself." Kibo suggested.
"What, are you crazy?" Jaune freaked out.
"Trust me on this, I believe Pyrrha is the most trustful person we know and I know she won't hate you for it." Kibo recalled all the times Pyrrha has always been there for Jaune.
"But what if she tells someone like the Headmaster?" Jaune asked.
"I believe the Headmaster already knows about your fake transcript and let you in anyway." Kibo pointed out, he remembered having this talk with Ozpin before.
"Really?" Jaune shocked.
"Yep, he sees great potential in you becoming a great Huntsman and I know Pyrrha will feel the same way." Kibo said truthfully placing his hand on Jaune's shoulder.
"But what if"
"Jaune!" Kibo stopped him from doubting himself further. " It can't go wrong if it's the truth."
"But if she can't handle the truth?" Jaune asked, feeling a little scared.
"Just trust me on this, she's your partner and she cares deeply for you." Kibo pointed out.
Jaune started thinking calmly realizing that Kibo is right about Pyrrha, she's a champion from Mistral and been known for her strength and beauty, but she is mostly caring for others with a big heart and always willing to help him out in any problem he's in. This also made Jaune realizes something important that he's starting to have a crush on Pyrrha, maybe Kibo is right and there's nothing to worry about.
"Alright Kibo, I'll do it!" Jaune decided to tell Pyrrha the real truth about himself.
"Great, you better get going don't want to keep Pyrrha waiting." Kibo said.
Jaune nodded and made his way back to the student dorm where he'll meet Pyrrha on the rooftop like she said to meet, feeling confidence about this and ready for it.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Kibo sure showed Cardin a thing or two not mess with others when he's around. Jaune is now going to tell Pyrrha the truth about himself and it's all thanks to Kibo giving him the boost of confidence to go and hopefully things will work out well of the two. Though there's going to be trouble soon during a certain field trip and things may get un-bear-able too.
