A/N: Hi, I'm new here and this is my first story so please take it easy on the reviews. But giving me constructive criticism always helps and I'd appreciate that a lot. Anyway, Enjoy!

In Combat Class...

Blades clashed as two huntsmen in training fought each other in a match. Everyone in the room watched intently, with the exception of a certain red-haired girl. Pyrrha Nikos, the four-time Mystral champion, was staring at an empty seat beside her. Ren, her stoic teammate, notices.

"Hey...hey Pyrrha." He taps on her shoulder.

"Oh um...yes Ren?"

"Are you okay? You've been staring at that seat for quite a while now. Its not like you to be distracted in class."

"I-I'm fine."

He looks at her skeptically.

"There's just...a lot going through my mind right now."

"About Jaune?"

*sigh* "Is it really that obvious?"

"Well, considering that it's his seat you're staring at, yes it's that obvious."

"..."

"Pyrrha, you don't have to worry. He's-"

"-been distant for the past few months." She interrupted. "Ever since the start of our second year, he's been going off to who knows where. He started missing some classes and comes to our dorm room late in the evening. He doesn't even go to our training sessions anymore."

"Have you tried talking to him?

"Yes but he keeps dodging my questions. He just tells me not to worry about it."

"Maybe...you should take his advice and let him be.

"Ren!"

"Look, here me out for a sec. At the beginning of our second year, Jaune was called to the headmaster's office. That's when he started being distant. I think it's safe to assume that Professor Ozpin is behind all this. He's in good hands."

"I know that. I just...I wish he would open up to us."

He puts a hand on her shoulder. "Pyrrha, we all know that he can be reckless at times, goofy, clumsy and keeps things to himself when it comes to his own personal problems. But, he has matured for the past year. You saw how much he has improved as a huntsman. He came to you asking for help when he needed it rather than just facing his problems alone. If he's not telling us anything, then he probably has a good reason."

She thought about what he said.

"Let's have faith in our leader." He added.

She gave a nod. "...You're right. Thank you Ren."

"Any time."

GIynda Goodwitch, their professor in combat class, checked her scroll to see the match line-up after finishing a match. She then receives a message from the headmaster. She internally sighed as she read the message. "Class, there will be a change of plans for the next match. I will be calling members of a whole team to face an opponent of your headmaster's choice."

They all grew excited. Matches like these are very rare.

"Now, as I call your names, kindly step into the arena." She takes a look at her scroll. "Ruby Rose, Weiss Shnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long, if you please..."

Team RWBY got up to their seats.

"Finally, I get a turn. It's been a while since I got to fight in class." Yang said.

"That's because you pummeled a guy to death last time, even when Ms. Goodwitch told you to stop."

"Oh come on sis. In my defense, that guy managed to cut my hair."

The rest of them rolled their eyes.

They got to the combat area waiting.

"So, who do you think we're up against?" Ruby asked. "I bet its going to be Pyrrha."

"Of course it's her." Weiss said. "Who else has the skills to face us in combat?"

"She is a logical choice for Professor Ozpin to pick." Blake added.

"Nah, I don't care who it is. As long as I get to fight."

A few minutes have passed...

Ruby walks up to Glynda. "Um...Ma'am aren't you going to call our opponent?"

"No need Miss Rose. He is making his way right here as we speak." Glynda checked her wrist watch. 'Where are they? They were supposed to be here by now.' She thought.

"Oh, okay...wait...he?"

Their professor turned to the entrance. "Oh good, he's here."

A blonde guy entered the arena followed by a gray-haired man with a cane. They didn't took notice of the second person because of the first who was well-known. Known to be the most weakest huntsman in training whoever walked on the grounds of this prestigious academy. He never had a single win in his record...ever.

The room was silent. As he walked up to them, some of the students started to laugh and/or feel sorry for him while some where clueless. Team RWBY's faces resembled the time when they knew Dr. Oobleck was going to lead them on a mission.

Pyrrha, in the audience, stared in shock. "Jaune?"

"Uh...Hi. Never expected me to be your opponent, did ya'?

Weiss face palmed. "Oh you've got to be kidding me."

"I'm afraid this is not a joke Miss Shnee." Said a voice behind Jaune.

"Professor Ozpin? When did you...?"

"I was walking behind him the whole time. You seemed to be...distracted to notice."

"So what brings you here?" Yang asked.

"I came here just to tell you to not underestimate your opponent. There's nothing wrong with giving you a fair warning, is there?"

They turned to Jaune, giving them an awkward smile while scratching his head, then back to Ozpin.

Yang laughed. "Easier said than done."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I have greatly improved since the last time you saw me fight."

"Care to prove that, Vomit Boy?"

"Gladly."

*sigh* "This'll be quick." Ruby unfolds her sniper rifle to it's scythe form.

"Wait sis."

"Huh?"

"Let me handle this...alone. There's no need to get all our hands dirty. Is that okay with you guys?"

"Well okay, but please don't over do it."

"Sure. How 'bout you Weiss?"

"I'm fine with that. Although, you really should take it easy on him. He's annoying, but I don't think he deserves that kind of punishment."

She snickered. "So you do have a heart. Looks like the Ice Queen's actually starting to warm up to him."

"Hmmph." Weiss crossed her arms and turned away.

"Blake?"

"...I think that's a terrible idea."

"Oh come on, don't tell me your actually afraid of him."

"It's not that. Don't you think all of this is a bit suspicious?"

"Come to think of it, it is kinda weird that we're gonna fight him of all people."

"My thoughts exactly."

"You're just over thinking this too much." Weiss said. "There is no way he can possibly be a threat. Why Professor Ozpin chose him as our opponent is beyond me but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with testing our skills in combat. Maybe it's something else."

Blake was still not content.

"Okay, how about this. If he somehow managed to beat me, which will never happen, you could all pitch in. How's that?"

"Fine. But I still don't think this is a good idea."

"Oh don't be such a sour puss."

Meanwhile, at the audience...

Pyrrha was silent, hoping for his safety. Ren was the same. Nora, their energetic and bubbly teammate who was sitting beside him was cheering...loudly.

"Go Jauney go! Beat them all up! Yeah!"

Ren covers her mouth and pulls her back to her seat. "Nora, you're gonna get us in trouble." He sees their Professor eying them.

"Nothing's wrong with supporting our fearless leader. And besides, the others are making some noise too."

"Not as loud as you though." Pyrrha said.

"Yeah, you're probably right. It won't make much of a difference. Jaune's gonna pulverize them to dust!"

They both gave her confused looks until Ren decided to speak.

*sigh* "Nora, it's good to be optimistic and supportive but let's face it, he has no chance of winning."

"Oooh oooh, Ren let's make a bet! If he wins this thing, I get you to cook me my new favorite food every breakfast for the rest of our lives. If he doesn't, well...I can't think of anything so it's your call."

"You have a new food favorite?" He turned to Pyrrha for some answers.

"She's talking about Jaune's bacon pancakes and ice cream waffles."

"Since when does he have free time to make those?"

"Lunch." Nora said.

"That's a story for another time." Pyrrha turned to Nora. "I've been meaning to ask you. What makes you so sure of Jaune's victory?"

"'Cause for the past few months, he's been trai-" she stopped, covering her mouth. "Uh...I mean...a hunch! Yeah, just a hunch."

A moment of silence.

"You were about to say training, weren't you?"

"I said it was just a hunch!"

Now both of them have her looks of suspicion. She, in turn, just twiddled her thumbs and went back to watching the match.

Back at the arena...

Ozpin and Glynda walked to a safe distance away from them. "Students, you may now begin."

Their aura levels were displayed at the screen above them.

"You ready Vomit Boy?" Yang uncollapsed her yellow bracelets into her shotgun gauntlets, Ember Celica.

Jaune drew his sword and then unfolded it's sheath to it's shield form, Crocea Mors. "Will you please lose the nickname?"

"No way. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"You beat me."

*sigh* "Figures. Okay then. Aaaaagh!" He ran and swung his sword at her.

She dodges with a quick sidestep and kicks him on the back knocking him down. "Is that the best you can do?"

"I'm not done yet." He gets up and does the same attack again...and again...and again getting him knocked down each time.

Everyone was starting to get bored. He didn't seem to improve after all this time. The scene reminded them of his fight with Cardin Winchester last year.

"Something's wrong." Pyrrha said. "He may not be the best of fighters but I'm sure I taught him well enough. I know he's better than this."

"He is. Poor Yang, he's luring her into a trap." Nora whispered.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing, heh heh."

Jaune's been doing the same predictable attack for over five times now.

"This is getting old. Come on, Jaune. You could at least change your moves." Yang said.

He ignores her and does the attack again.

"Okay. That's it." She ran out of patience. As she dodged, she delivers a flurry of punches all over his body and delivers another one with a more powerful force on his chest blowing him to a short distance away. "It's over. And what a boring way to end it."

Ruby took a look at their aura levels. "Uh...girls, something's wrong. Look, Jaune barely lost any of his aura."

"It's probably just a glitch.". Weiss said. "There's no way that his aura will still be at the green after receiving that many blows from your sister."

'I have a bad feeling about this.' Blake thought.

Jaune slowly stood up. Everyone was amazed that he could still move after that much punishment.

"Impressive." Yang said. "But I gotta say, you should just give up while you still can. You can't win this fight."

He didn't answer. Instead, he collapsed his shield to it's sheath form and sheathed his sword. He just stood there in place.

"Want me to knock you out instead? Fine." She walks up to him ready to end the match. With a clenched fist, she lifted her arm, ready to deliver the final blow. He closed his eyes. She threw her punch.

He caught it with his hand and held his ground. The force of the attack slightly buried his feet to the shattered floor.

"No way!" She tried to pull away from his grip but she couldn't.

"Hey Yang..." He sneered as he opened his eyes, and to Yang's shock...they were red. "Thanks for the power up." He pulled her closer and delivered a knee to her gut. He then took her by the shoulder, lifted her up and slammed her down to the ground, shattering it.

"Aaagh!"

Everyone of the students was shocked. He just took down one of the most powerful huntresses in training. Just like Pyrrha, Yang doesn't have a losing record nor showed any sign of a struggle even when faced with tough opponents. But now, she lays flat on her back for the first time barely maintaining consciousness.

"Woo Hoo! Go Jaune! One down, three to go!"

"Nora! What did I say about being too loud."

"Sorry Ren."

Pyrrha was staring blankly at Jaune. Internally, her jaws have dropped.

"Yang!" Ruby didn't waste anymore time. She shot her sniper rifle, using it's recoil to boost her speed and tackle Jaune. However, he saw her coming, Right before making contact, he disappeared out of thin air leaving something familiar behind. "White rose petals?"

She was still moving forward when he reappeared behind her. He quickly grabbed her scythe by the handle and karate chops her grip on it.

"Oww!" She laid flat on her back. "Crescent Rose!"

"Let's see how you fight without your weapon." He swings the scythe at her.

"Eeek!" She braced herself.

Blake suddenly appeared in front of him. She blocked his attack with her dual blades and intercepted it to the ground, holding it down. "Now!"

With her words, Jaune looked left and right and found Weiss coming at him from the side. He lets go of Ruby's scythe.

"You're finished!" Weiss struck him...or so she thought. He lept backwards, evading the attack leaving a shadow of himself behind.

Now Blake was in a state of shock. 'Was that my semblance he used?' She thought.

Ruby got her scythe back and signalled her team to come at him all at once. Noticing this, he quickly waved his hand, summoning a huge white glyph underneath them. The next step they took sent them flying in different random directions away from him, each hitting a wall except for Weiss who casted a glyph to save herself.

They all got up, even Yang, and gave him serious looks.

" We want answers, now!" Yang said. "Where have you been going for the past few months?"

"Yeah! How did you get so good?" Ruby asked. "Have you been training?"

"How in the world could you possibly have multiple semblances?" Weiss asked. "How is that even possible?"

"Girls, please. One question at a time."

"No!" They said in unison.

"Just answer them all. You already knew what we all wanted to know before this fight even began." Yang said.

"Okay okay, fine. But I'll only answer two of 'em. One, yes I've been training, obviously. Two, no, I don't have multiple semblances. Just one."

"That's obviously a lie." Blake said.

"My semblance is mimicry, okay?"

"So your like...a mime?" Ruby asked.

"No, you dolt. It means he can copy other people's semblances." Weiss said.

"Oh...but technically, you still have more semblances than one."

"Well, in a way, yes. Look, can we just get on with this match already? Or you wanna give up. I mean, I'm seriously O.P. right now."

"Team RWBY never backs down from a challenge!" Ruby said.

"So, time for round 2 then."

She smirked then shouted, "Freezer Burn!"

Weiss stabbed the ground with her dust rapier covering a wide area on the ground with a sheet of ice. Then Yang did a high jump and hit the ground with her blazing fist creating a thick fog.

"Nice team attack but your also limiting your field of vi- aaagh!" He was blown away by an explosion near him.

"We've done this before, Jaune. We have other ways to know where you are." Yang shot more of her explosive ammo at him.

He managed to dodge them. 'What is she talking about?' He thought, then an idea came to mind. 'Sound, that's gotta be it. When I make some sort of noise they will know where I am. I just need to be quiet then.' He takes a step forward. Suddenly, a huge shockwave hits him from the back. He fell forward. "Aaagh!" 'What the-. Wasn't that Blake's attack? Heh, I wish I was a faunus.'

"Lady Bug!"

The fog slowly cleared. Jaune stood up and saw both Ruby and Blake running towards him from opposite sides. Again, before making contact, Jaune leaped up leaving a shadow of himself behind. He drew his sword and as he fell, he slammed his blade to the ground creating a small crater blowing them away along with the fog.

"Checkmate!" She managed to shout.

Weiss casted a haste glyph. Blake landed on it on her feet. Harnessing the speed buff, she then slashes the air creating multiple shockwaves coming at him.

He took his shield and blocked everyone of them with the aid of his aura. "That all you got?"

Weiss smirked. "Don't get cocky. That was just a distraction."

"Huh?" He notices a glyph under him. "Oh cra- aaagh!" He was flung up in the air. She then casted multiple miniature glyphs to hold him in place.

"Now! Bumblebee!"

Blake threw her blade with her bow attached to it to Yang. She spun her round and round until her desired speed and momentum was reached.

With her red eyes and burning hair, Yang was about to give it her all in one single punch. His aura flashed at the last second before his face was met by her fist. He was sent flying straight into a wall shattering it and came crashing down on him while Yang felt a powerful sting on her right hand.

"Yang! Are you okay?" Blake came to her aid.

"Ouch! What happened?" She looked at her hand, closing it and opening it. "It still hurts."

"Jaune!" Pyrrha shouted.

There was a sad look on Nora's face. "Come on Jaune, get up! Win this thing. You have to..."

Team RWBY turned to Glynda who was staring at the debris where their opponent was buried.

She notices them. "Oh...right. *ahem* Students, as you can see, Mister Arc's aura has dropped into the red. Team RWBY is therefore the wi-"

"Wait!" The rubble moved. Jaune pushed away the debris and got out of it. He slowly walked towards them. "I'm *pant* not *pant* done yet."

"Impossible! How is he even able to stand?'"

Everyone was speechless. So was Pyrrha and the rest of team JNPR, but was glad he was still alive.

"Jaune, please stay down." Ruby said. "You fought well. It's time for you to rest. You've proven yourself to be a great fighter."

*cough* *cough* "You don't understand. I need to win this...no matter what."

"You could barely even walk!" Yang added.

"Heh, I'm just a bit tired, that's all. So Yang, tell me. You punched me really hard right in the face. Do you see a bruise?" He shows his left cheek.

They were shocked as they noticed but didn't answer.

"And another thing, did you hurt yourself instead?"

Yang grunted.

"How did you-?" Blake said.

"We Arcs are known to have great aura reserves. Normally, when you receive a hit, your aura will shield you from the most fatal of blows. But in my case, it not only shields me but also acts offensively. It kinda make a mini explosion when the attack makes contact. The harder you hit, the more you hurt yourself. I have so much aura that it negates every damage that I take."

Ruby had a realization. "Wait, that means-"

"None of your attacks hurt me."

Yang laughed. "Hah! Then why is your aura at the red level, huh?"

"Oh, I can fix that." He started to glow faintly white. "Fun fact, some of my aura is still locked...Haaaaagh!" Suddenly his aura wildly gushed out of him. Everybody stared in awe at the sight before of them.

"Girls, we're in big trouble. Look!" Ruby pointed at Jaune's aura bar. It filled up and it's not stopping. It began to fill up a second bar over the first with white color.

"Like it? I call this move, 'aura burst.'"

Yang face palmed. *sigh* "I just had to ask."

"Time for round three." 'I better end this quickly.' He thought.

He swung his sword down to the ground creating a shockwave heading towards Yang.

She didn't have time to react. Luckily, Ruby used her speed to tackle her away to avoid the attack. They both fell on the floor.

Jaune reappeared in front of them and tried to slash them both.

Weiss casted a glyph blocking his strike.

"That's not gonna work." He swung his sword again with more force shattering the glyph. Both Ruby and Yang evaded in time.

Blake lunged at him from behind. Her blade bounced off as soon as it made contact sending her off balance.

Seizing his opportunity, he grabbed her hand, pulled her for a finishing strike.

Yang punched him on the face in time withstanding the force of his aura, sending him flying into another wall. She felt a more powerful sting on her hand making her kneel in pain. Jaune however, got up without a scratch. "He must have some sort of weakness." She checked their aura levels. They were almost at the red, but she noticed something else. Jaune's aura was draining! The rest of the team noticed this as well.

"We have to stall him! It's the only chance we have left." Ruby said.

'Darn it! They figured it out. I have to finish this.' He thought. 'Maybe if I'm fast enough, they wouldn't be able to fight back. But first...' He sheathed his blade disappeared leaving white rose petals behind and reappearing behind Ruby. Grabbing her shoulder to not let her get away, he karate chopped a pressure point on her shoulder causing her to fall on the ground unconscious.

The rest of team's eyes widened. "Ruby!"

Yang lunged at him in anger but he disappeared before she could even land a hit.

He reappeared right in front of Blake. Out of reflexes, she leaped backward. The next thing she knew, he was right behind her. He grabbed the front of her neck and threw her down. He drew and swung his sword at her. She managed to block it but the force was too powerful, crushing the ground beneath her. She fainted afterwards.

He leaped away. *pant* 'Good, just a little more.' He tries to use Ruby's semblance again, but failed. "What the-! Why can't I-"

"Now's my chance!" Weiss casted a haste glyph under her and many more glyphs around him. She dashed afterwards striking him all over his body as she bounced from glyph to glyph.

He dropped his sword. "Ugh!" 'Her attacks are actually starting to hurt. My aura isn't fending off her attacks.'

She was about to deliver the final strike. Time slowed down for Jaune. He found an opening, grabbed her in the face and slammed her to the ground.

"I'm sorry Weiss." He whispered then turned to Yang as he picked up his sword. "One to go."

"You're not going to take me down that easily! Aaagh!" She fired at him with her shotgun gauntlets nonstop.

He blocks with his shield and slowly pushed forward.

Running out of ammo, she punches her fists together engulfing herself in flames and ran towards him. They fought each other head on. It was obvious to her that he was weakening. The red in his eyes are starting to fade back to blue. She was able to disarm him rather easily.

He made one last attempt. His aura flashed, blinding her for a moment leaving her wide open. He mustered up all his strength to deliver a powerful punch on her face. But to his shock, she was unaffected. His aura burst was gone. His whole body felt numb. "No. I can't lose! I must not lo-" His vision got dim. He collapsed and fell on the ground.

"The match is over. The winner is Team RWBY." Glynda announced.

Silence filled the room. Then one of the students started clapping. Soon, all of them were cheering and chanting Jaune's name.

'Their...cheering for me? Heh, well that's a first.'

A warm smile grew on Yang's face. "You've come a long way, Jaune."

"Heh heh, I haven't totally lost my consciousness yet. I heard you loud and clear."

"What?"

"You called me by my name instead of Vomit Boy." Moments later, he was then brought to the infirmary. While Yang helped her teammates up.

Later that day...

Nora was in tears. "Jaune! Jaune wake up! I'd rather see you get kicked out than die! Now please, wake u-"

"Stop shaking me! I'll really die if you keep this up!"

"Jaune please!"

"Help me!"

Just in the nick of time, Glynda went into the room and used her telekinesis to pull the hyperactive girl away from him. "He's going to be fine, Miss Valkyrie. Now will you please calm down." She looks at her sternly.

*gulp* " Y-yes ma'am." She saluted.

Seconds later, Professor Ozpin and the rest of team JNPR went in.

"Jaune, are you feeling well?" Pyrrha asked.

"I'm fine. Well, not totally but I'm getting there. The nurse said I'll be staying here for two days."

"That's a relief." Ren said. "By the way, good job back there in the match."

"Thanks. I guess..."

"When did you get so good anyway?"

"Heh yeah, about that..." He sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"I'm afraid that's all the time you have for today." Ozpin said. "My apologies but I need to speak with him in private. Since tomorrow is a weekend, you may visit him then anytime you wish."

Upon hearing those words, Nora got sad. "B-but we just got here! Could you please have your talk with him after he graduates?"

Jaune slightly laughed. "There's no use stalling it Nora. It's okay, just go."

Pyrrha and Ren looked at them confused. Nora gave a sad nod then signalled her teammates to leave.

"Wait."

They stopped in their tracks.

"Before you go, how's team RWBY doing?"

"Oh, they're fine. They're probably resting in their dorm room."

"They weren't sent here in the infirmary?"

"Their injuries weren't that serious. So it only took a couple of medics to patch them up."

"Well that's good to know."

Pyrrha nodded then left with the others.

Jaune sat up on the bed. "So Professor...when do I leave."

Meanwhile, at team RWBY's dorm room...

"I can't believe it! He actually got the best of us." Weiss was pacing back and forth across the room. "I mean, how could he even get so good anyway? In a short period of time if I may add."

"Training, duh." Ruby said.

"I told you we shouldn't have underestimated him." Blake said, reading a book on her bed.

Yang thought about what her sister said. "I think there's more to it than just training."

"What makes you say that?"

"Ruby, he surpassed all of us in our years of training within a few months. I hate to admit it but, none of us could've taken him down on our own.

Blake's eyes shifted to her. " Well that's ironic. You're the one who suggested fighting him alone."

Yang walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Weiss asked.

"I'm gonna have a talk with Pyrrha and the others."

The rest of the team looked at each other as she left.

Yang knock's on team JNPR's room. "Hello, anybody there?"

No answer.

'Guess no one's inside.' She takes a look at the bottom of the door, seeing the lights in the room were open. "Hmm..." She turns the knob. 'It's unlocked? Weird.'

She opens the door and finds an empty room. The first thing she noticed was a blue onesie on one of the beds.

*giggle* 'This must be Jaune's. This brings back memories.' She picked it up and tries to measure it. "Perfect fit."

She puts it back and notices a scroll where the onesie was placed. She took a look inside it's contents and saw a background picture of Weiss, and Velvet for some reason. "Yup, definitely Jaune's. How did he got a hold of this anyway?"

Upon further inspection, she found a file named 'My Personal Stuff'. She tried to open it but there's one problem. 'Dang. It has a password. Wait, what am I worried about? This is easy.' She types in 'snowangel' and succeeds in opening it. "Bingo."

Inside were three more files. Namely, 'Funny Vids', 'My Music Videos', and last was 'My Diary.'

"Music videos?." She opened it and found several songs inside but one caught her eye. It read, 'I Burn (A tribute to awesomeness that is Yang Xiao Long).' "Aww...he made a tribute to me?"

She played the file but skipped to the middle of it. "What the-?" She saw herself singing in what seems to be a fiery room (probably visual effects) with multiple Jaunes, each playing an instument.

'(I Burn!) Can't hold me now, you cannot stop me

(I Burn!) Swing all you want, like a fever I'll take you down...'

Yang was confused but still, she had a huge grin on her. 'Maybe I'll borrow this for a while.' Taking the scroll with her, she left the room and closed the door.

She heard familiar voices coming her way. 'JNPR's back!' She then quickly went into their dorm room without being detected.

She leaned her back against the door and sighed.

"Hey sis, you're back. So...what happened?"

"What? Oh, uh...nothing. They weren't even there."

"Then why did it took you so long? And what's that?" Ruby spots something on Yang's hand and pointed at it. The rest of her team looked at what she's holding.

"This? My scroll of course." She made herself look believable as possible.

"Uh...you left your scroll right here." She took the scroll lying on a small cabinet and showed it to her.

*sigh* "Okay, you got me." After a brief pause. "This is Jaune's."

"But I thought you said no one's inside their dorm room?"

"Yeah, I did. I kinda...borrowed this."

"You what!?" Weiss said.

*sigh* Blake facepalmed.

Ignoring them, Yang continued on. "...And I think Jaune's secret lies in this thing."

"Put that back to where you found it."

"Didn't you girls here me? Aren't you even just a little bit curious how Jaune managed to beat us? Well, technically we won. But still..."

"Well... I'm...kinda curious." Ruby admitted.

Weiss didn't respond but it was evident in her face that she too was curious. "What makes you so sure that has secrets in there?"

Again, another smile formed on Yang's face. "Because he has a diary in here."

"A what?"

At team JNPR's room...

"I can't believe him. We just got there but then he just sent us out!"

"Be patient, Nora. Our headmaster needs to talk to him in private. We'll visit him tomorrow."

"Well...okay." She got to Jaune's bed and picked up the onesie and found nothing under it. *gulp* 'Uh oh.' "Um...guys, did you see a scroll just lying around here by any chance?"

Ren grabs a pink towel inside a cabinet. "No, we've been in classes the whole day. Did you lose your scroll?"

"No-uh...I mean, yes. I lost my scroll. You don't need to help me or anything. I just asked, heh heh." She awkwardly scratched the back of her head.

"...Ooookay. I'll be at the showers." And with that, he left.

*sigh* She lied down. "What am I going to do?" She then notices Pyrrha lying on her own bed, deep in her thoughts. "You okay? You've been really quiet today. Still thinkin' about our fearless leader?"

"...Oh, uh...well, yes."

"Don't worry about it. All he needs is some rest. He'll be better in no time."

"It's not that. I just hope he is willing to talk about...everything after all this."

"Didn't you and Ren talked about this already?"

"We did. It's just...I can't help myself but feel...left out of his life."

"Pyrrha, not all secrets are ment to be shared. Besides, it's too embarrassing for him to tell you anyway."

Something clicked in her mind. "What?"

"Uh, nothing. Forget I said anything. Goodnight!" She said rivaling Dr. Oobleck's speed in speaking and hid herself in the covers. 'Smooth, Nora. Wait I haven't found Jaune's scroll yet. I'm so in trouble. Where did she put it?'

In the infirmary...

Jaune stared at the headmaster with confusion. "Um...sir, I thought you said if I failed the test-"

"I never said you had to win to pass. I only wanted to test your strength as well as you're limits and to see how much you've improved. And quite frankly, you've exceeded my expectations. Although, you shouldn't have recklessly used your 'aura burst' like that. You could've just restored some of your aura and fought back. Confidence is good Jaune but overconfidence...is deadly."

*sigh* "I'm sorry. I've always been...weak. Most of the people in this school thinks so too. I'm just...tired of being regarded as 'the weakest guy in Beacon.' I only wanted to prove them wrong."

Ozpin puts a hand on his shoulder. "You've already proven them wrong when you took down Miss Xiao Long at the beginning of the match."

"..."

"Just be glad that you're still a student in this academy. So congratulations." He stood up and headed out. Then someone knocks at the door. He opened the door and was met with a familiar sight.

"Oh, Professor Ozpin. Is this this a bad time?" She took a peek behind him seeing Jaune lying on the bed.

"No it isn't. I was just about to leave. You may come in...Miss Scarlatina." He then left shortly afterwards.

A/N: Okay, I know what you're thinking...probably. I know some of you readers hate OP Jaune. Sorry, but I need him to be one to make this story work. At least he lost, right?

Anyway, I hope you find my writing style...satisfactory. Tell me if you want me to continue this story or not. If not, then I'll just think something better.

Lastly, a big THANK YOU! for actually reading this fic. I appreciate it a lot. Have a nice day/night or whatever time you're reading this. :-) Oh, and before I forget, RWBY Volume 3's opening animation is out on RT's channel. If you haven't watch it yet, then WATCH IT! THE HYPE!
