Chapter 4: Power revealed, teams are made
Sorry I forgot to add the disclaimer for the last chapter so here it is. I do not own RWBY.
JAGR
I really wanted to save using my semblance for real emergencies but seeing as we were all busy with our own tasks I had no other choice. "What kind of semblance do you have that requires us to stay behind you?" Anna asked as the thought of not fighting didn't seem sit well with them. "Trust me when you see it, you'll believe me." I said as I took a stance. Slightly bending my knees, I began to build my aura. Noticing that the Grimm were fast approaching, Gregory had combined his scimitars into a hook-like staff while pulling out a duck's foot pistol and Rosa brought out her whips and activated the lightning dust crystals that were imbedded in them, as the two them prepared to intercept if they got too close. My aura, a mixture of white with red like veins, began to coat my body, this was the halfway and by far the easiest part. I soon began to focus it all on my right fist creating a bubble of pure concentrated aura, when that was complete, I reared my fist back and bringing my left foot up I lunged forward slamming my foot down and punching the air causing the bubble to pop silently.
At first, nothing happened. "Is that it? Kind of anticlimactic if you ask…" Anna never got to finish her sentence as a sound similar to glass shattering rang out and the very air around us begins to shake and cracks appeared in mid-air from my fist made contact. Suddenly,BOOM!The earth in front of us broke loose and fissures opened up causing a great deal of the Grimm that we were facing to be swallowed up by the churning earth. The remaining Grimm stood dazed, if such a thing was actually possible. The looks on the others faces were quite priceless. The Nevermore had been flying overhead was knocked out of the skies and the Deathstalker had been left on unsteady legs, causing Jaune's and Ruby's groups to easily deal with them, after picking their jaws up off the ground of course. As for my group, all I could do was fall back on my rear in exhaustion. "Okay guys, have at it." I said as they looked at each other and then charged the Grimm. After the expected slaughter of the hellish beasts, we all gathered around to go over what had happened. "Why didn't you tell us about your semblance?" Anna asked as Ruby, Yang, Jaune and Nora were going on about how awesome it was. Ren, Weiss, and Blake regarding me with guarded caution, and Pyrrah, Gregory, and Rosa looked curious. "Well to be honest, I was saving it for when there was a truly dire situation that required it but seeing on how there were far too many Grimm to handle, I thought it to be a good idea to thin the crowd for you." I said feeling drained, I always disliked how tired I felt after using it, but it's a thousand times better from when I first used it. I never knew how much blood could be in a man's vomit after I tried it out without any form of proper training.
After an arduous trek back to the cliffs where everyone else who had passed initiation, we made our way back to the school's auditorium where Ozpin was announcing the new teams. "And the leader of team CRDL is Cardin Winchester!" I looked on at what seemed to be a gorilla posing as a guy and three young men who just seemed to be bad eggs walk smugly offstage. "And the leader of team RWBY is Ruby Rose!" I was surprised that a girl as young as her would be made into leader and by the look on Weiss's face so was she. "And the leader of team JNPR is Jaune Arc!" good for him, with those three with him along with me and Ruby, I just know he will do great things. "And finally, I present team JAGR with Jacob Blackwood as team leader." Ozpin announced as my team congratulated me on my new position. I could hardly believe that I was made team leader.
We soon made our way to our new dorm room, the condition could be described in a single word, Spartan, "We can decorate later." Rosa said as the girls took the left side of the room as Greg, and I took the right. "We can set up a sheet to give you privacy, if you want it." I offered as the girls looked at each other, "Maybe later, but for now let's get cleaned up and off to bed." Anna said as both girls got their towels and went into the bathroom. Gregory and I just put our trunks by our beds and plopped down and took off our shoes. "So, where are you from?" I asked Gregory, attempting to break the ice, "Vacuo, you?" "A village way outside of Mistral." I said as the girls came back looking very much refreshed and settled down to bed. after Gregory and I had finished showering, thank Oum that there were two separate shower stalls, we too crawled into bed. "Alright guys, let's get some sleep, tomorrow is the first day of class." Anna said as Rosa turned off the lights. I laid there in my bed looking up at the ceiling, 'Tomorrow will the first day of the rest of our lives' I thought as the lulling call of sleep claimed me.
