Team JNPR and RWBY were in the Mess Hall, eating happily.

Ruby had a hamburger and fries, Weiss had some steak, Blake had smoked salmon, and Yang had baby back ribs.

Ren had the stir fry, Pyrrha had some steak, Nora had pancakes and Jaune had, strangely enough, raccoon - he had gotten used to eating it while in the circus.

Jaune was telling everyone about his time at the circus. He had taken comfort that his ability was somewhat normal. Now, he was confident while talking about it.

"And so, there I was, at the very top of the circus tent. My breath was heavy, the spotlight was blinding. No net. I had to get this right or I was going to be bedridden for quite a while" he said, spinning his tale. The way he described it was almost as if he were the Silvertongue himself.

Everyone was entranced by his tale, leaning in closer while slowly eating their food.

"With a deep breath, I leaned forward, arms spread in a form not at all unlike a swan dive. And I was off" he said. He could still remember it, the breeze on his face, his hair whipping, the adrenaline that caused his blood to pump rapidly throughout his body, the gasp and then silence from the audience.

"Down I fell. Ten feet, twenty, thirty, fifty, seventy" he said getting softer as he spoke, smirking a bit as they leaned closer. He loved this part. "And then BAM" he exclaimed suddenly, making everyone jump, even some people from other tables who were listening in. "I used my semblance to appear all along the circus, frightening people with my appearance, before teleporting safely to the ground. I stood straight and bowed as people broke out into cheers"

Everyone clapped at the end of the story, and Jaune smiled at the praise, but it morphed into a scowl when he heard a feminine voice call out for someone to "Stop it" From the sound, they were in pain.

Turning his head, he saw something that made his blood boil. A female bunny Faunus was being picked on by four male, human students, the newly formed Team CRDL. They were pulling her ears. Her. Fucking. EARS. Don't they know that the appendages on Faunus, aside from very solid ones, are super sensitive?

He growled as he stood and moved skillfully and silently to the bullies. He knew he was about to show his true form, but he needed to get a grip on it for as long as possible, cause he was about to fuck some people up if they didn't comply.

He placed a hand on Cardin's wrist, causing him to look at him. "The fuck you want?" he said, a sneer on his face.

"I want you to let go of this young woman's ear." Jaune said as he stood stoic, but smiling a polite smile. He took notice of people going silent and starting to record.

"And if I don't?" Cardin asked, grinning.

"Well, I'll send each of you to the infirmary" he said, still smiling.

They laughed at him. They did let go of the Faunus girl, though, and she hid under the table.

"Well? Come on" Cardin said as he moved his hands in a 'come at me motion'.

Jaune shook his head and walked away, saying he wasn't worth his time. Blake rushed up to congratulate him, as did Pyrrha.

"Good job, Jaune. You did great" Pyrrha said.

"Yeah, thanks for standing up for the Faunus" Blake added. "And you're right, asshats like him aren't worth it"

Cardin was pissed, though. he spread his arms wide. "Come on, pussy! You were so high and mighty when protecting your pet! Or is she your sex slave? I can't really tell the difference between the two" at this, CRDL laughed while everyone gasped. Jaune paused midstep, one foot hovering in air.

There was silence except for laughing and a deep guttural, almost demonic growl coming from Jaune. Pyrrha and Blake backed up, but not before Blake said, "Screw it. Fuck these bastards up"

Jaune continued moving, but swiftly moving to the bullies once more.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that Jaune was much taller than Cardin, now that he wasn't slouching.

"Congratulations, Winchester. You're gonna get fucked up" he said this with a small smile and his eyes closed, until the smile turned to a predatory smirk with sharp fangs, his eyes showing the strange yellow that only happens when he's using his semblance.

He then disappears with a bamf, dark blue smoke, and a faint smell of sulfur, as Cardin swung his fist to his face. He kept reappearing and disappearing rapidly, confusing the team. The four slowly backed into one another.

Jaune appeared a couple more time, using his momentum to kick the surrounding tables out of the way. It was then that Jaune started to fight. He appeared at the far end of the hall, breaking into a dead sprint at Cardin. Cardin was prepared, and watched as Jaune executed a flawless front flip over him and Russel. They all watched him.

As his legs straightened out in front of him, Jaune disappears and reappeared in front of a confused and distracted Cardin, his outstretched feet slamming into his chest, knocking him back and into Russel. Meanwhile, Jaune's tail wrapped around Lark's foot, making him trip. The three fall while Dove turned and threw a punch. It landed solidly on Jaune's jaw, forcing his face to the left.

With his fist still connected to his jaw, Dove watched in horror as smooth white skin became slightly furry, and blue slowly appeared from where the fist meets jaw, spreading rapidly like flame on gasoline.

Everyone watched as Jaune's human appearance turned full on devilish, with his ears becoming points, strange black markings on his face and body, blue fur that's barely a couple millimeters long covering his skin. It happened in a ripple effect, like scales shuffling on a reptile.

He turned to him, eyes hard. He picks him up by the front of his shirt and teleports into the air, letting go before teleporting down to do the same to each of the other members. They screamed and hit the ground hard. Jaune picked up Cardin and growled in his face, baring his fangs.

"You're going to never bully anyone again, or you'll have me to answer to. Got it?"

Cardin nodded, as the smell of something rancid emitted from him. The sound of liquid hitting the ground was heard.

"Good. Now, clean yourself up and take whatever dignity you have and go" CRDL couldn't get out of there quick enough, tripping over each other as they ran. Jaune sighed and tried to calm down, popping his neck a bit. As he did, his appearance became, once again, human.
