Hey guys CMBasher07 here with another RWBY learns about MH! for you guys.

Here is a question for all of you... What is your Favorite Weapon (no Monster armor weapons, just the main original ones)

Remember...

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING FROM MONSTER HUNTER OR RWBY! EXCEPT MY OC'S!

Shoutout to Arekkz Gaming Monster Hunter Weapon Tutorial! And JoCat Crap Guide to Monster Hunter! for making these explanatory videos, subscribe to their channel.

This Fanfic was originally going to cover 7 out of the 14 at the first part, then I thought 'Why waste THAT much time?' So I am only doing Heavy and Light Bowgun as a two for one deal and the rest their own separate chapters.

And with that out of the way, Let's begin...

———————————————————————————

20 minutes later after last chapter

Ruby was looking around the lobby trying to find some cookies and milk to have since she hasn't eaten anything since her and everyone here's arrival.

Ruby stumbled upon a ring with Jaune and Pyrrha training so she decided to silently watch and listen without them knowing.

"Your getting good Jaune." Pyrrha said using a Wooden Lance (since Miló is not with her and back at home) as she blocked another attack from Jaune's prop sword and shield.

"Thanks, Pyrrha." Jaune complimented "But I still think I need a new weapon, everyone has a melee weapon and gun mode, but me." Jaune said "I'm still upset my secret will be out, and everyone will desert me."

"Jaune... you and I know that, they won't care about your fake transcript or that you snuck into Beacon to be a hero like your family, it's your actions that matters, not your decision." Pyrrha said

Ruby was at first shocked, Jaune fakes his way into Beacon, but after she heard more she understood Jaune, he is just like her, they both want to be heroes to humanity, just like the Hunters Guild.

Ruby left, not using her Semblance since she didn't want to use her Semblance to leave behind a trail of Roses, before she would get caught by anyone leaving no traces of her being there behind.

"Attention all audience members! Attention all audience members! I have brought 5 guests in to watch and filled them in on what is happening." Nyacole said

Everyone left the lobby and returned to their seats to see their 2 guests those being: Drunken Bad Luck Bringer, Qrow Brawen and Team CFVY featuring; Coco Adel, Fox Alistair, Yatsuhashi Daichi, and Velvet Scarlatina. (You know why I brought her)

"Hey, Velvet how are you?" Weiss asked

"I'm fine, Team CRDL is leaving me alone thanks to Jaune." Velvet said looking at the dunce knight.

"Yep, Thanks to Jauney boy over there, Team CRDL is more kinder to all Faunus." Coco said

"Uncle Qrow!" Ruby shouted as she rushed towards her Uncle "Did you miss me?"

"Nope." Qrow said, Ruby knowing he's just joking

"Now that reintroduction are out of the way we will cover the Monster Hunters Weapons; specifically 1 out of 14 Weapons that a Monster Hunter can use in battle." Ruby's eyes shinned as bright as a diamond star.

The audience took their seats, after they did the lights dimmed and the screen brightened to show...

Next Morning

"*yawn* Good morning Rookies!" CMBash said

"Ugh, I don't want to train mom!" "Let me sleep for 10 more minutes." "Why of course I will help with cooking those Kulu-Ya-Ku drumsticks." "No, no I don't want to be the sacrafice to the Dalamadur." Levi, Thomas, James, and Edison said in their sleep.

"Ugh, WAKE UP! A GORE MAGALA IS ATTACKING!" CMBash shouted as Levi, Thomas, James, and Edison all woke up and went to battle position

"Where is it!?" Levi asked

"False Alarm. It was just an Aptonoth." CMBash said smiling

"Uuuuuuuuugggghhh." Levi, Thomas, James, and Edison all groaned

The audience laughed at CMBash's little wake up call.

"Oh don't give me that." CMBash said "Look, remember what I said yesterday?" He asked

Levi, Thomas, James, and Edison all looked at each other confused

"I'm going to teach you about the weapons we use to hunt." CMBash said

"Aw sweet! I get to learn more about my Insect Glaive!" James said petting a large bug on his shoulder.

'Insect Glaive...?" Everyone thought

Velvet grabbed her camera to take a copy of the weapon, but was stopped by Nyacole.

"Sorry, Velvet, you cannyot use your camera on a living creature." Nyacole whispered to Velvet

"Well, how about I tell you about one of the Weapons we will see this morning, then I'll tell and show you the other 13 Weapons, sound like a fair deal?" CMBash asked

"Yeah, I can agree to that." Levi, James, Thomas, and Edison agreeing

"Okay, let's me start off with a unique weapon: The Charge Blade." CMBash said as the image of a sword and large shield appeared with a Hunter holding it before transforming into a large axe.

Ruby and Jaune had looks of amazement; Ruby since it was a transforming weapon and Jaune since he wanted a new weapon.

The scene changes to multiple Monster Hunters taking on different Monsters with the Charge Blade. Sword mode making them fast, but deal less damage. And Axe mode slowing them down but dealing massive damage. Shield Mode making the Hunters attacker's attack charged up. Some of the monsters these Hunters were fighting got knocked over due to the attack.

The audience was amazed that a weapon like this could knock large monsters over like they were nothing.

"I'm impressed, it takes much force to knock a large creature down." Ozpin said

"I will teach you everything you could possibly want to know about a given weapon rights from the basic attacks learned to you, all the way up to the main most efficient combos you should be using and some overarching weapon theory." CMBash said "If there is a weapon you really want to pick up but want to know a little bit more about, then look no further." He said confidently

"Today we're kicking things off with the Charge Blade." CMBash said

"The Charge Blade is, without a doubt, the MOST technical weapon in our world." CMBash said

"So this Weapon is more technological, fascinating." Port said

Velvet grabbed her camera and took a picture so she could use her Semblance on it.

"Why is it the most technical?" Jaune asked

"It is both a sword and shield, and an axe." CMBash said

"Two Weapons in one form." Ozpin said "Just like our world."

"Your kinda right, Ozpin. But this is the only Mecha-shift weapon we have." Nyacole said

"It'll have you managing and charging files, which can then be used to boost not only your defensive capabilities but also your attack power for select attacks too." CMBash said

"The sword and shield portion of the weapon offers mobility and great defensive options. Meanwhile, the axe portion offers great damage potential and high reaching attacks for hard-to-reach places like tails or wings." CMBash said "And depending on the type of charge that you have, it can even carry monsters too, in other words, it is like a Multi-purpose knife." He said

"Interesting, Sword and Shield gives the user speed and defense, while sacrificing power and reach. While Axe gives the user high damage and reach, while sacrificing speed and defense." Glynda said

"Charge Blade hurts a lot, got it." Qrow said as he drank from his flask again.

"It can do it all, it is a fantastic weapon, my 5th personal favorite and while, Yes, it is more complex than most of the other offerings with a little understanding, it's really not that difficult to get your head around." CMBash said as the inner mechanics of the Charge Blade was shown to signify how complex the weapon is

"So let's begin with the basics." CMBash said as a little chime was heard, he and Levi, James, Thomas, and Edison all walked over to a ledge to see a Charge Blade user training with their weapons

"Yes, tell me how to use it!" Ruby demanded

"First off, let's go over some of the weapon concepts, and then we'll get onto the moves." CMBash said to the 4 rookies "This is the sword and shield mode." He said gesturing to the Charge Blade user, who had his weapon in Sword and Shield mode. "When you draw your weapon, by default, this is where you'll end up." He said "Any attacks you perform whilst in this mode, you'll begin to charge up files, up here." He said

"First, they go yellow." The Charge Blade users' Weapon glowed yellow "Then they go red." The Charge Blade users' Weapon glowed red "And if you continue to attack, while in red they'll eventually go bright red." The Charge Blade users' Weapon glowed bright red as he stroked the rock he was training with.

"And then your attacks will start to bounce, This is bad." CMBash said "So generally speaking, you attack until you see red and you then store your files or charge your files, that's the official term. I'll go over how you do this in just a second."

"Hmm, That does pose a problem for anyone using that weapon." Yatshu said

"Why does that pose a problem?" Ruby asked

"Well, if your weapon is not doing any damage to their target, then they are left open for attacks by monsters or Grimm." Yatshu said

"Oh." Ruby said understanding what Yatshu meant.

"With the files charged, you can either switch to axe mode and use some of these files during some of your axe attacks, you can transfer the files into your shield to boost your shield defense as well as your attack power in axe mode after which point you're then free to charge more files, and you can even expend a whole lot in a rather powerful move known as the "Super Amped Element Discharge." CMBash said as the Charge Blade user used all of the things CMBash mentioned

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" Ruby begged while repeating "Gimme"

"There's a little bit more to it than that and we'll get into finer details in a moment, but as the general weapon flow goes that is essentially how it works." CMBash said as clips of Charge Blade users' were shown attacking monsters with different, but similar attack patterns

"Attacking sword and shield mode to charge up files, transfer those to your shield, charge MORE files, switched to axe mode, take advantage of said files and switch back as and when you need to replenish."

"Wow, That was incredibly complex to understand at all." A deadpanned male Voice said like he didn't give a crap about anything

"Who said that?" Weiss asked a little angered that someone interrupted this lesson on the most technical weapon in their world.

Weiss got her answer in the form of a hunter wearing inner thigh and undies pants, a shirt top with his right blue with no sleeve and his left red with a sleeve, and a very strange hat, the hat is very tall, with 3 neon light blue spots on each side, a white color on the bottom, grey on top, it has frills with neon light blue on the tips and 2 neon light blue eyes.

"Oh my god what is he wearing?" Coco asked with drama at what this hunter is wearing

"Even I am wondering what he's wearing." Blake said

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Edison asked

"Names JoCat and I'm here to give you a crap guide to every weapon your teach is teaching you." JoCat said

"Alright, JoCat, tell us what you know about the Charge Blade?" CMBASH asked annoyed by this Hunter

"You got it." JoCat said before speaking very quickly "Every now and then we feel pretty content with ourselves, satisfied with our own capabilities and limitations, but then there's always a younger and more successful new hotness coming along showing us that there will always be someone to pass a torch to and carry on the legacy to meet and maybe even surpass our own expectations" He said "So if anyone can show me a weapon like that I'd gladly drop the sword and shield because it's certainly not this mighty morphing monstrosity."

"Welcome to a crap guide to being a Monster Hunter." JoCat said as adorable and fast music played

"I somehow did and didn't get that at all." Dr. Oobleck said, surprising those that new his speed of speech.

"Me too." Ruby said with dizziness in her eyes. "How's that possible?"

"If you ever feel like you're the smartest person in the room, firstly I'd like you to look up the dunning-kruger effect, then I'd like you to introduce you to the Charge Blade." JoCat said "A weapon that requires more prep work to get going than an elderly nun in the Mojave Desert, the Charge Blade is the ambitious little brother of the sword and shield, who's been hanging out a little bit too long with the switch axe, it's considered one of the most technical and complicated weapons in the roster" JoCat said as the group looked at him wide eyes

"Which should be no problem for a Monster Hunting Pro like me, who can't research the deeper quirks of a weapon and gives out incorrect information because he's desperately rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline." JoCat said "While in Sword mode you have your basic watered-down ripoff SnS move set, advancing slash, short combo, block, bash, spin, it's ok Charge Blade we all want to be Sword and Shield when we grow up." JoCat said still quickly and not missing a beat "What really feeds my Deviljho is the Charge Blades charging files mechanic, the most notable move is a chargeable slash, via slashing the enemy that starts to power up elemental file, I'lli'll pick your favorite weeb trash." He said "Once they reach red, you better charge them up by way of sticking the sword into the shield, while blocking, or else you'll be bouncing off of a monster like insults being thrown at someone with crippling depression."

"Oh, now that's just mean." Blake said to liking JoCats' choice of similarities

"Charging these files is essential to many of the intricacies of this weapon and because I'm such an expert I'm going into deep detail about all the Charge Blades ins and outs, so I hope you're paying close attention because I'm not slowing down for you, are you ready?"

"Wait, Wait s-slow down-." Weiss shouted not understanding anything JoCat is saying

"Too bad, here we go." JoCat said as he took a major deep breath

"You primarily charge your Blade by attacking, but another attack combo out of it can Charge the files as well just not nearly as much so it's best primarily use the Charge up slash while littering in other attacks to keep a healthy onslaught to a monster just remember to keep an eye on them because if you're bouncing..." JoCat said very rapidly, before his voice somehow multiplied making it sound like there were 3 of him talking at once.

"What's going on!?" Everyone shouted all getting confused by what JoCat is saying

"I don't nynow?" Nyacole said also confused by JoCats' rapid speaking

The rookie hunters and CMBash were all looking at JoCat with huge wide eyes and there heads jilting back a bit from the speed he is speaking as he is not even tired one bit.

Then JoCats' voice multiplied more and more as it got louder and louder as scenes of him attacking monsters appeared to the audience each one having JoCat speaking multiplying his voice more and more.

They then heard him say something like "So Tasty." Repeatedly

"You got all that? Good because I'm not repeating it, now you know how to use the Charge Blade, you're welcome." JoCat said returning back to his original voice as all the sounds stopped as he left to do his own thing.

"I somehow did get it and didn't get it at the same time, how's that even possible?" Levi asked

"I don't know, Levi. I don't know." Edison said

The audience laughed at this little statement, due to Ruby and Dr. Oobleck saying the same thing.

"Anyways, That being said, and not said somehow, Sword and Shield mode can also be used to dish out damage and you will use this a lot of the time when you need to be more mobile." CMBash said as the 4 rookies looked at back at their teacher to understand his learning since they didn't understand how to use the Charge Blade by JoCat

"Thank Oum, please tell us how to use it more simply than what he said." Weiss said referring to JoCat

"But when an opening presents itself, like a monster getting knocked down or traps, then it's worth your time to dip into damage offered by Axe Mode. So now let's go over the moves." CMBash said grinning

"Starting off in a Sword and Shield Mode striking will performs your bog-standard slash and you can strike three times for the basic combo." CMBash said as one of the Charge Blade users striked the metal bar around the pole, before striking three times performing a combo.

"Weak slash, return stroke and spinning slash. That final move spinning slash is important, but we'll come back a little bit later." CMBash said

"Swinging your Sword upwards will perform the charged double slash, this is gonna core moves when it comes to charging your files, just be sure you don't do it for too long or it'll come out like this." CMBash pointed to a rookie Charge Blade user as he striked the pole only doing little damage "It will come out as a much weaker hit."

"That does make sense, your trying to putting too much energy to deal more damage, thus making your stab slower." Ren said

"You can also add a spinning slash to this attack, and since spinning slash is the most powerful hit of that attack combo, that's not actually a bad option." CMBash said "You can also work the charge double slash into the basic strike combo at any points."

"Following any attack in Sword and Shield Mode, if you dodge and double slash, you can perform the new sliding slash move." CMBash said as a Hunter used this technique "This can be used to reposition, close the gap or get away should you need to." He said "You can also go into your regular combos following a sliding slash, so think of it as a way to move and then continue." He added as another Hunter did the exact same thing CMBash said

"Striking plus double slashing together when neutral will perform the forward slash, this is a great opener, since it moves you forward and it also does more damage than your first hit in your basic spinning slash combo." CMBash said "So you can use this to open a lot of your combos whilst also closing the gap between you and the monster." He said as his students kinda wanted to use this weapon he smiled and looked back at his Rookies

"However, If you do a slash and a charged slash AFTER any attack, it'll instead do a shield thrust." CMBash said as a Hunter did a Shield thrust.

"So many new techniques I can do." Jaune said to himself

"This move serves two main purposes; paired with the Charge double slash, this is your main and fastest file building combo." CMBash said "Holding a Charged slash followed by a Slash plus another Charged slash, if you want to charge your files fast, you can loop this combo until red and once your files ready to store, guard and charge up will store them like so." CMBash said as one of the Charge Blade Users placed her sword behind her shield. "Using The Shield on it's own will allow you to Block, so if need to block an incoming attack at any point then this is an available option to you by default your shield is pretty strong, but when it's charged, it'll be considerably stronger and provide you with much greater defense." CMBash said

"Very interesting, these Hunters seem to use power or brute strength to hunt the Monsters." Professor Port said with his finger under his mustache

"So let's go over charging the shield really quickly." CMBash said "If you slash plus charge slash, both three times consecutively, you'll go from a forward slash into a shield thrust and then into an amped element discharge, this will morph into axe mode for a powerful attack and you'll then morph back into sword and shield mode at the end. If you have the file stored, following the initial axe attack you will then dish out additional file damage on top so this is always best used with files. However, if you then follow the third strike with an Guard, you'll instead cancel the amp'd element discharge returned to sword and shield mode and you'll notice that any files that you had stored have now moved into the shield." CMBash said as the 4 rookies saw one of the Hunters glow a faint bright blue, before changing to red.

"Incredible! By canceling the attack with a Guard, they can increase their defense for a surprise, quick attack from the enemy, brilliant!" Port said

"Yesh, and Winter says I annoy her." Qrow muttered to himself.

"Your actual shield glows red and now you have some interesting bonuses to consider." CMBash said "Number one, your defense is much stronger when guarding, Number two your Ace attacks are more powerful, and Number three that Shield thrust I mentioned earlier perform without an attack now dishes out small amounts of file damage on top." CMBash said numbering off the 3 bonuses.

"You can also dish out file damage following a guard point, but we'll speak more about them a little bit later in this session since that's a bit more advanced." CMBash said

"He does have a point, advanced lessons always comes last." Glynda said

"Preach Glyn!" Qrow said

"Can't you make your uncle more quieter?" Weiss asked

"I heard you Ice princess!"

"You're suppose to hear it." Weiss said actually lying since he wasn't suppose to hear it

"He just does what he does." Ruby said to Weiss

"And assuming you transferred a full five files into your shield, then the shield charge will last you two and a half minutes." CMBash said

"Seriously!? Five Full Files only last 2 and 1/2 minutes?" Weiss asked

"Must be to keep the weapon from breaking apart and destroying itself any further, so 2 and 1/2 minutes must be the max for it." Fox said (Fox, like Ren and Blake, likes to be quiet)

"At this point you're then free to build yet more files and THIS is where things get interesting." CMBash said "First things first, the condensed element slash." CMBash said "With a charged shield and a set of files ready to charge, if you hold your Guard and Charge, then hold a slash during this time you will do this." CMBash said as one of the pro Charge Blade users placed his sword in the shield as electricity came out of the shield, closed quickly to form a claymore, unreleased the sword from the shield and struck down with electricity bursting out of the sword overhead of the Hunter.

"Whoa it's like Lightning Dust!" Nora said, she kinda slept though the whole thing except JoCat which she somehow understood ALL of what he said even the other voices.

"When your shield locks in let go, and you'll perform an overhead slash and now your sword is charged." CMBash said "Make sure you let go when the shield locks in and don't hold it too long, otherwise it'll overcharge and you won't get the charged sword, but with this in place your sword attacks will also dish out small amounts of file damage relevant type of Charge Blade you have AND you also have natural mind's eye." CMBash said

"What's Natural Mind's eye?" Pyrrha, Ren, and Jaune asked together

"Just watch right meow, it'll explain itself." Nyacole said

"Yes." CMBash said pointing to James

"Uh, What's a natural mind's eye?" James asked

"Good question." CMBash said "Natural Mind's eye basically means your sword attacks won't bounce and this charged effect will last 45 seconds." CMBash said

The audience was impressed by this, but disappointed that it only last 45 seconds, but they understand that something like that might have a side-effect if it lasted too long

"However, The sword charge is optional, if things get hectic in combat you're much better off quickly storing the files using the standard Guard plus Charged Slash and then go from there." CMBash explained "After all having charged files and a charged shield opens you up to the most powerful move for the Charge Blade, the Super Amped Element Discharge combo." CMBash said "We did a moment ago, three consecutive slashes plus charge slash, if you do that now your shield is charged and your files are full, you will do this." CMBash said

A Hunter with a Charge Blade then switched his sword and shield to Axe Mode as electricity flowed around it and deal massive damage.

"Whoa, I wanna do that now!" Jaune said excited

"Are you sure, Jaunya? We still got 13 more weapons to go." Nyacole said

"Not only is this a powerful hit, but is also has a shock wave that follows up too." CMBash said "If it's an impact type Charge Blade, this is an impact wave. And if it's an elemental then it's relevant to the elements." He said "This does consume all your files, so keep that in mind and it's also got a pretty long reach so you're gonna want to make sure that set yourself up correctly to avoid missing with this." CMBash said "Typically you want to use this when you know that for sure you have an opening, the monster is down, trapped, to sleeping, something like that." He said "If you decide you want to do this, you can cancel it into the regular amped element discharge, which only consumes one file at a time." He explained "If you want to do this then during the windup, pull back and you'll then cancel into the standard version of this attack." CMBash said

"Note: That when I say back it is relevant to where you are facing, not your view, so if you are facing sideways, back would be to the side." CMBash said "So in summary, attack in sword and shield mode to build files, store these files, transfer them into the shield, build more files, store THOSE files and your sword if there's time, and now you have access to the Super Amped Element Discharge, should you want to, otherwise you can cancel into the regular and element discharge." CMBash said "If you want to be super efficient after storing the files you CAN charge some more so that you can then go straight from a shield transfer into storing so it is one seamless motion." CMBash said

"He wasn't kidding when he said the Charge Blade is the most technical weapon." Ruby said still amazed that there is a lot of battling techniques this simple 2-to-1 weapon can do. And this is just the default mode!

"I have to agree with you on that, sis." Yang said

"But, now that you have an understanding of sword and shield mode, let's talk Axe." CMBash said as he pointed to some of the Hunters who have their Charge Blade in Axe Mode.

"Hold your Guard and and Slash, will morph it into Axe Mode, and whilst it's in Axe Mode, Guarding again will morph back." CMBash said "You can also draw directly into Ax Mode with your weapon sheathed, simply by Guarding again, and if you Guard and Charged Slash after storing your files so you can Guard and Charged slash, you can also transition straight into Axe Mode although this last one will consume one file in the process of you have them stored." CMBash explained to the rookies

"Now Axe Mode is much more straightforward, you strike twice to perform a rising slash followed by an overhead slash." CMBash said "This can be looped infinitely, but this is also a high reaching attack so it's great for hitting tails, wings, or generally hard-to-reach parts on the monster." CMBash said to his 4 rookies as they understood what he is saying

"Dashing forwards and performing a slash will perform the Dash Slam, which is an overhead chop. You can then charged slash three times to perform the element discharge one, element discharge two and then go straight into the amp'd element discharge." CMBash said as two Hunters training used this combo.

"Same move if you performed from sword and shield can also be done at the end of the Charged Ax combo." CMBash said "But, the sword and shield one is the fastest route, hence why it's often referred to as "The Super Short Cuts." CMBash said "However, sometimes you don't want to go into the element discharge, so you can sneak a slash attack in as the third hit instead and you can loop back around." He said as some of the Hunters with the Charge Blade performed those moves

"Now something else important to understand about Axe Mode is that if you have files stored, your Charged attacks will consume these files and dish out additional file damage." CMBash said "Each individual attack in the four Charge combo consumes one, but you'll notice that the second hit does a double swipe at the cost of one." CMBash said

"Hmm, a fair trade, you consume one charge for a Charge attack and another for a Charged combo." Pyrrha said

"So this is a very valuable move." CMBash said

"What!?" Everyone shouted confused

"I'm not sober enough for this." Qrow said as he downed his flask

"What!?" The 4 Rookies asked

"Let me finish." CMBash said "This is a very valuable move, especially with an impact styles Charge Blade." He said

"Oooooooohhhh..." Everyone said

"A quick note: on impact, if the impact damage dealt to monster's head is KO damage. Rack up enough of this and you can knock out a monster so the charge Shield thrust, the charge Sword, the Amp'd element discharge or The Super Amped Element Discharge, and now the sweeping attacks." CMBash said

"All of these, if you have files can dish out impact damage and this move in particular is very effective at KO' ing Monsters." CMBash said "That and of course the Super Amped Element Discharge." He said as clips of the attacks CMBash mentioned appeared "So being able to take advantage of this second hit is especially useful."

"Something I do a lot, of I have an opening is more from Sword and Shield Mode into Axe Mode and then following the Morph Slash if you Guard straight away, you'll cut right into the second hit in the Charged Combo giving you the double swipe at the cost of one file and following THAT you can then just Guard to go back into Sword and Shield Mode to make you more mobile." CMBash said

"Also whilst in Axe Mode if you Slash and Charge together, you'll initiate the amp'd element discharge or the super, if your shield is charged, so there's a number of ways to get to this I typically use this one if I'm setting up an ultra on a sleeping monster with a fully charged shield and full files, pair with the fact that striking a sleeping monster does double damage, this is a great way to wake it up." CMBash said as a two Hunter were seen striking a sleeping monster; one not charged and the other is charged. The one not charged didn't do a lot of damage while the one charged killed the monster.

"Interesting, It makes sense that a monster would have its guard down while asleep, so that does more damage." Port said

"Of course just like the sword and shield mode. You can initiate the amp'd element discharge and cancel, which will once again transfer any leftover files you have into your shields." CMBash said "So that's the axe, a few simple moves but a great damage dealer." He said "You move slower in Axe Mode than sword and shield, so I tend to dip into this when I know I have an opening."

"Next up, let's talk about jumping and slide attacks." CMBash said as he walked over to an area with Hunters testing with sliding and jump attacks.

"When sliding down a hill, if you slash twice your draw into a rising slash followed by a jumping slash." CMBash explained as some of the Hunters did what he said "Any attacks performed in the air counts as mounting damage, so this can be used to mount the monster." CMBash said To his Rookies

"Alternatively, with your weapon drawn slash plus charge slash to perform the forward slash downhill will initiate a slide, after which you can slash twice again." CMBash said "You can also switch out your slash for a guard instead of you want to morph into Axe Mode, jumping off a ledge and doing a normal slash does a jumping slash and jumping off a ledge and guarding does the jumping slash into Axe." CMBash added

"If you do a normal slash plus a charge slash you'll do the forward slash towards one of those runnable walls like the mushrooms or the vines and the walls by the wildespire waste, you'll run up and do a jumping slash and if you do that and Guard on top you can then instead go into the Jumping morph slash." CMBash said to his students

"So, those are the basics." CMBash said

"THAT WAS THE BASICS!?" Everyone, except Nyacole, shouted forgetting that they just learned the basic of the Charge Blade.

"Those are all the moves for sword and shield, axe mode, and the various aerial and sliding options." CMBash said to his In-training Hunters

"So now let's talk about something a little bit more advanced, Guard Points." CMBash said

'Guard...Points...?' Everyone, except Nyacole, thought to themselves

"You hav ea shield and you can block with said shield. But when you get good with this weapon you can also use Guard Points." CMBash explained what a Guard Point is "A Guard Point is a moment during an attack, where your shield is presented in front of you." He said "Take this as an example..." he said pointing to some Hunters training to do a Guard Point "When Guarding and doing a slash to morph into Axe Mode you slide the sword into the shield and for a brief moment that shield is out in front of you."

"If you are HIT during this moment, you'll block and this is known as a Guard Point." CMBash explained

"Huh, So Guard Points happen when your Charge Blade, while in Sword and Shield Mode, will block an attack." Glynda explained to herself

"Now THAT I want to try!" Qrow said now sober and drunk enough.

"If you perform a Guard with a Charged Shield, you'll dish out some file damage in the process. So if you have an impact style Charge Blade, it is indeed possible to KO a monster, simply through Guard Point." CMBash said

"Now I WANT to try that!" Qrow exclaimed happily wanting to KO anyone with a guard

"I kinda want to do that as well." Jaune said

"Well, you'll just have to be patient and train with nyhat kind of weapon, Jaunya." Nyacole said

"The Guard plus Strike Guard Point is the simplest, it's quick, and it can become second nature in time, you'll get to the point where instead of just Guarding, and instead Guard and Strike to Guard Point." CMBash said "However, that's not the only one."

"Tell me more!" Qrow and Ruby demanded at the same time going up to the screen

"Wow, like Uncle, like niece." Yang said

"Shut it, Yang." Qrow and Ruby said at the same time

"When in Axe Mode, Guarding will morph back into Sword and Shield Mode and again, your Shield is presented at the end." CMBash said as some of Hunters did the same thing he just said a moment ago.

"This is out for a little bit longer, but it is a little bit hard as you set up, since the morphing is longer so I personally prefer to use the first one." CMBash said "At the end of the basic swinging slash in the Sword and Shield combo, you end in a spinning slash." CMBash said

"That we already know about." Blake said with Fox agreeing with the secretive Ex-White Fang Faunus

"I mentioned this earlier that THAT was important and this is where." CMBash said

"Okay, let's see why this is important." Ozpin said

"Spinning slash also has a Guard Point, and so too does the new sliding slash, again those last ones CAN be a little hard to set up and you will likely pull them off by accident more often than not." CMBash said as some of the more smarter Rookies took notes (Those being Levi and Edison) and other two membering in their brains (Those being Thomas and James)

'Well that sounds cool and flashy, but am I really gonna risk it for a little bit of file damage?' Jaune thought to himself

"But they're still available to you." CMBash said "At this pint your probably thinking 'Well this sounds cool and flashy, but am I really gonna risk it for a little bit of file damage?'."

'Huh, What are the odds...' Jaune mentally said to himself surprised that THAT'S what he exactly just thought of.

"Well there's more to it than that." CMBash said as he explained why there was more to Guard Point than that "Guard Points not only have less knock-back, but they also have some follow-up options too. And the most notable one is you can go directly from a Guard Point into a Super Amped Element Discharge." CMBash said

"Guarding plus slashing twice and finish with a Charged Slash follow your Guard Points and you'll go into this." CMBash said as the Hunters just did what CMBash said and did an Super Amped Element Discharge.

"Depending on the move the monster did, it'll often be left open after so, this is a great way to block and follow up for some good counter damage." CMBash said as a clip of a Hunter in the Deseret blocked a surprise attack from a large, bipedal wyvern diggin in the ground with armor covering much of its body (Diablos (Monster Hunter)) and attacked it and cut off its tail.

"You can also strike following a Guard Point to morph into Axe Mode or you can just evade out, it really depends. But this is a very valuable tool." CMBash said "It'll take a while to master, but if you pick a monster that is predictable like Barroth or Diablos and just practice... you'll get it." CMBash suggested as a clip of a Hunter attacking one of said suggested monsters was shown, but the audience didn't know which one that was.

"Okay, just go for more predictable Grimms when we get back." Jaune muttered to himself

Pyrrha smiles towards Jaune but he didn't notice, but Nora did

"You know he's never going to figure it out unless you do it." Nora said

"NORA!" Pyrrha shouted scared that Nora came out of nowhere (besides her mother, that was a bad joke my apologies)

"Now with that covered and that is everything you need to know on the moves front, right from the basic attacks all the way to Guard Points." CMBash said smiling at his Rookies "However as with any weapon, you'll typically focus on just a handful of those moves most of the time." He said "So with that in mind, here are the best and most efficient combos you should be using for the Charge Blade." CMBash added

"It's worth noting that for this section it's not the standalone damage dealers that were interested in per se." CMBash said "Since these will vary based on your gear, your weapon sharpness, and any other buffs you may have active at that time. What were instead interested in is the overall damage output relative to your other moves, in other words, which ones dish out the most damage." CMBash said as a clip of a Hunter was doing a combo on a monster was knocked down, it had an enormous chin, a stocky frame, and brow horns. It is covered in bones and are affixed in place. It also has a sticky, tar-like substance.

"What type of Monster is that?" Dr. Oobleck wondered out loud to himself

"You will find that out later, nya." Nyacole said

"When in Sword and Shield Mode your two main options are Charged slash plus normal slash plus another Charged slash, this is a move you're going to be using a lot anyway because as mentioned, it's your main file building combo. But luckily it's also one of the most damaging combos in Sword and Shield, it takes around 3.6 seconds to complete and the only way you would top THAT in damage is if you serve out the shield thrust for the spinning slash, so Charge and slash, there's really not much in it to be honest, this second combo is a fraction of a second quicker and while it does deal a little more damage, it also moves you around a little more and isn't quite as quick to follow up of you're trying to loop it, so I typically default to Charge Slash plus Slash plus another Charge Slash." CMBash said as some Hunters pulled off this combo just as followed

"But either of this moves, whilst in Sword and Shield Mode, are good for damage. As for Axe Mode, your triple Charged Combo is, without a doubt, your strongest move. With stored files AND a Charged Shield, it'll go into the Super Amped Element Discharge, unless of course you cancel it into the regular Amped Element Discharge." CMBash explained to his students and the audience, as they both see the long combo attack being pulled off

"However, It is also the lengthiest combo to pull off and it's not something you always have the option to do." CMBash explained "This is really for when the monster is down and you have a guaranteed opening."

"That is a problem, using a lengthy attack will allow the enemy to have a chance to dodge or attack you." Glynda said to the in-training students

"Aawwwww..." Ruby groaned in defeat not being able to use it on a live Grimm target

"So, second to that in damage is to sum up the final hits for the Charged Spin Slash." CMBash said "This takes a little over 5 seconds to complete and the damage output is pretty nice. The standard Double Slice Axe combo is the weakest option, as mentioned earlier, it's really more so used if you're trying to just hit a hard to reach part of the monster, if it's level with you, this sucker will always be the way to go." CMBash said

"However, The other thing to factor in are you're switching combos." CMBash said

Qrow, Ruby, Jaune, Weiss, Blake, and Velvet payed close attention to this as only one doesn't need a picture to use or have a mecha-shift weapon, and the others so that they could try and do something similar to this.

"When you go from Sword and Shield into Axe Mode and then back out, obviously you have your shortcut to Super Amped Element Discharge, a great move you should always use of the opening presents itself, but when things are a little less certain there are two main combos here; Guard and strike, Charge strike, Guard will draw into the overhead morph slash, perform the second double swipe the attack in Axe Mode only consuming one file and then end in the Roundhouse slash back into Sword and Shield Mode also with a Guard Point." CMBash explained one of the two opening combos

"This takes a little under 6 seconds to complete, so it's just under 1 second longer than the Charged Spin Slash in Axe, but it deals considerably more damage, alternatively when storing file when doing a Guard and Charged Slash three times, you'll go into the element discharge one, element discharge two and then end in the roundhouse slash, again with a Guard Point." CMBash said as those who understood wrote that down or memorized it (I.E. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Levi, and Edison)

"This takes around 6 seconds to complete, so essentially the same time as the combo above, but it's not quite as powerful." CMBash said "So in summary, those three combos should be your bread and butter." CMBash added as he went reviews the Combos he talked about

"Hold a Charged Slash, then release to do a Slash plus Charged Slash, when in Sword and Shield Mode, three Charge Slashed when in Axe Mode only if the opening presents itself and Guard plus Slash, Charge Slash as you're switching combo to keep you mobile." CMBash reviewed the combos he explained to his students

"Now that my friends, is pretty much it, as I'm sure you can see the Charge Blade is an incredibly versatile weapon offering high damage output, long reach for hard-to-reach areas, KO potential when running with an impaired type blade, and defensive options when facing off against so many more aggressive monsters." CMBash said "Definitely a weapon you should or if you want to, consider checking out if you haven't done so already because it's a hell of a lot of fun to use." CMBash finished

"I learned so much from this lesson." James said actually amazed by the Charge Blade

"If you think that's amazing wait till you see the other 13 weapons." CMBash said making a promise

"Next, I will explain one of the classical long-ranged weapons, The Bow." CMBash said to his students

The screen darkened and the lights brightened for the audience as they all got up from their seats to stretch a bit.

"Now that was very informational for us." Ren said giving a faint smile

"I am going to get started on that weapon right away!" Ruby shouted as she bolted out the door leaving a trail of rose petals behind

"Hey, is there a bar here?" Qrow asked seeing as his flask is empty

"There is, just walk out the Theater and go into the lobby and take a right and you'll see the Grand Meowster Chef." Nyacole said

"Thanks." Qrow said following Nyacole's direction to the bar

"Ca you direct me to your library, I would like to research more from the Ancient Civilization." Dr. Oobleck

"I would like to join in, to study the weapons from the Ancient Civilization." Prof. Port said

"Just take a right, but keep going until you see a sign that looks like a Book." Nyacole answered

"Thank you Mrs. Nyacole." The Two Nutty Professor (AND Doctor) left, one being way much more quicker than the other.

The other audience left to do their own things, waiting to see more of the weapons from the Monster Hunters.
