Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Sorry for taking so long, but, thanks to some help from DragonKingDragneel, I manage to finish this up. So, I hope you guys enjoy.

Reading Ch 15: Jaune's Reckoning Part 1

"I-I will." Jaune volunteered, hesitantly raising his hand up. Glynda gave him, and the blonde started reading. "Chapter 15: Jaune's Reckoning Part 1…." Right after reading the title, he groaned. Why him?

"Now, now, Jaune." Pyrrha tried reassuring her partner. "I'm sure it's nothing bad."

It had been a month since the Dementors invaded Beacon, and the school had finally settled down. Though most were still on edge because of the Dementor attack, classes continued like normal as everyone fell into their own unique routine.

Jaune Arc in particular had found a balance between his school work and his own training. Though, it was extremely difficult. Summer Rose, just as he imagined, made slave drivers look nice and easy to deal with. Literally, who the hell makes their students climb up the Beacon cliffs without harnesses over a near one hundred and fifty foot drop over rocky waters WITH AURA SUPRESSORS ON?!

"SAY WHAT?!" The magic users and huntsmen and huntresses in training screamed in shock.

Glynda and Ozpin, however, are not surprised at the least. "Yep, that sounds like something she would do." Ozpin sighed.

"She is definitely testing the limit of what she's allowed to do." Glynda groaned.

Flashback**

"COME ON YOU PANSY ASSES!" Summer shouted over her, rather unnecessarily, large megaphone as she leaned over the cliff. "GET TO MOVING! YOU'VE ONLY GOT 10 MINUTES LEFT BEFORE THE TIMER GOES OFF! HURRY THE HELL UP!"

Jaune gasped for breath as he tried to hold onto the measly little ledge he was on. Thanks to his gymnastics, he was able to make it as far as he did, but that hardly made a difference since he was completely out of breath and his limbs were burning red hot, and he had no Aura to strengthen him!

"I…*pant* c-can't…*pant**pant* g-go oooonnnnnn!" Ruby whined from a few feet below him. She may have had the upper body strength thanks to her training with her preferred weapon, but her endurance wasn't up to par.

"Why mom?" Ruby whined, seeing her future self suffer. Jaune, meanwhile, shudder at the site of his alternate self's suffering.

"Who authorize Summer to make us do this insane training?!" Weiss exclaimed.

In response, Glynda and Ozpin gave her blank stares. "You act like either of us had a choice in the matter." Ozpin said blankly. "I assure you, we do not."

"SURE YOU CAN, MISS ROSE! JUST PUT ONE HAND ABOVE THE OTHER, AND PULL YOURSELF UP!" Summer encouraged from her place atop the cliff.

"That woman is completely mental." Ron muttered.

"She's worse than Woods and Moody combine." Harry said, with his friend paling at the thought.

"*huff**huff**huff* Are we sure she's not insane?!" Adam shouted from several feet above Jaune.

"I'M NOT INSANE, MR. TAURUS!" Summer shouted back. "I JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT REALITY THAN YOU DO! NOW, LESS SASSING AND MORE CLIMBING!"

"Differently reality." Ozpin rolled his eyes. "Yes, keep telling yourself that, Summer."

"…*pant**pant* Kill me now!" Weiss whined from even further below Ruby.

"Wow, the two of you need to work on your stamina!" Nora whistled. "Especially you Weiss!"

"Shut it!" The heiress hissed with a blush.

"Tough it out, Weiss!" Harry grunted from beside Jaune. He then laughed hollowly. "Like I can talk!" he muttered. "I can barely move anymore!"

"TIME'S NEARLY UP, KIDDIES! YOU BEST HURRY UP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE CHASED AROUND THE SCHOOL BY ME!" Summer shouted cheerfully again. "THREE MINUTES LEFT!"

"DAAAAMMMMMMIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!" came the collective shouts of the students on the cliff face.

"...Ruby, Yang," Weiss slowly said. "Your mother, is insane."

Neither girl deny that statement. In fact, they both agreed with her.

"That look like fun!" Nora exclaimed, getting incredulous looks from some of the others. "Maybe I can try that!"

"No Nora, just, no." Ren said blankly. Knowing his friend, she'll drag him and the others along with her. The girl pouted.

"Party pooper!"

The golden trio stared at the girl dubiously. "Mental. Completely mental." Ron stated. Harry and Hermione nodded in agreement.

Flashback end**

Though, in all fairness, Jaune guessed it wasn't all bad. After all, Summer Rose gave amazing rewards when they actually survived her training: her cookies. Jaune was ashamed to admit just how much he thought her cookies were better than anything his own mother could make!

"Seriously?" Jaune questioned, mouth agape.

Ozpin and Glynda nodded, while Ruby and Yang drooled at the thought of their mom's cookies. "Not only is Summer is an excellent Huntress, but an excellent baker as well."

"Oh come on!" Jaune whined. That was just completely unfair!

It was a huge slap in the face for Jaune and the other members who survived her training. Not only was she a great Huntress but she was also a world class baker?

That was just unfair!

"I know, right?!" Jaune completely agreed with himself.

"Definitely a big slap in the face." Weiss muttered in agreement. Everyone else silently agreed to that as well.

But back to topic, Jaune also found out just how lethal Harry could be when he was trying. It was actually pretty terrifying…

"Why did I suddenly feel a chill up my spine?" Jaune questioned nervously.

Hermione, who got pale alongside Ron, answered. "You'll see." That got a few gulps from some of the others.

Flashback**

"Miss Nikos and Mr. Potter, please come on stage," Summer said as from the stage. Pyrrha made her way up to stage eagerly, hoping for an (uninterrupted) FAIR fight with her rival. Harry calmly, methodically, sauntered his way to the stage, looking horribly outraged. Jaune was uneasy. Harry had been like that since he walked into the auditorium.

He had a bad feeling about this fight.

"As you should." Ron stated, completely serious. "When Harry gets angry like that, I feel bad for the bloke that have to face him."

That made Pyrrha unease.

"Before we begin, Pyrrha," Harry's calm voice broke through his thoughts. "I must apologize in advance."

"Why's that?" she asked.

"Because Cardin and his team, somehow, found out Lily's fear of hospitals, and decided to play a very petty and cruel prank on her," he growled lowly.

That got the others angry as well. "Will they cut that crap out?!" Yang growled.

"I really wish it was one of Team CRDL that's facing Harry." Blake muttered. A few others nodded in agreement.

Glynda sighed before looking at Ozpin. "We'll need to have a talk with Team CRDL about their attitude."

"Indeed." Ozpin agreed. He can't let their childish bullying be tolerated in the school. If they're going to become huntsmen, then they need to act like it.

"She's still held up in our dorm, freaking out. So with that…CRDL!" he shouted suddenly, making the four look up at him. "Pay VERY close attention to this fight! Because if you EVER, EVER decide to screw with my team again, YOU'LL be on the receiving end of what's about happen!" He cracked his neck from side to side. "Let's go," he muttered.

Summer raised an eyebrow. "Ok." She held up her hand, throwing it down and jumping off the stage. "Fight!"

"Um...I'd suggest preparing yourselves for this," Ron told the group. "Because if what I think's gonna happen, then this ruddy curse will be making the lot of you fall flat."

"Will it really be that bad?" Ruby asked hesitantly.

"Worse," Hermione droned blandly

(Play Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set it off)

Suddenly, the entire auditorium became colder. Jaune's eyes widened as a massive presence SLAMMED down on his shoulders. He shivered like a leaf in a hurricane, feeling like he was…like he was being watched.

Like he was being hunted.

Suddenly, Jaune was gasping for breath and shivering violently, startling the others. "Jaune!" the others shouted.

Ron barely blinked. "Told you."

"R-Really s-should've l-listened!" Jaune cried, hating that he didn't head sound advice.

Jaune looked around and saw how everyone else was effected, as well. Team CRDL was gasping for air as they tried to stay upright. Jaune to his left and saw Nora and Ren hugging each other in a rather…suggestive way. If he wasn't feeling complete terror right now, he would have found that funny.

He looked further to see Adam, the only other member of team HAIL in the auditorium looking around frantically, a look of alarm on his face. Next to him, Ruby and Yang were clinging together looking terrified, while Blake, in a comedic display, had jumped into Weiss's arms like a scared kitten, while Weiss looked like she was having difficulty staying calm.

Nora and Ren suddenly hugged each other in a...similar suggestive way as their book counterparts, as the terror hit them via the curse. RWBY began laughing at the two, before the terror of their other selves bled over to them from the story. Ruby and Yang grabbed each other out of fear while Blake jumped into Weiss's arms, both scared out of their minds.

Hermione, Ron, and McGonagall didn't blink.

"I feel I should be surprised, but I can't bring myself to be," Hermione said.

"It is pretty funny seeing these guys in abstract terror though," Ron said, snickering at the terrified hunters.

"D-Drop d-d-dead, W-Weasley!" Weiss stuttered.

Pyrrha, however, she was staring in wide eyed terror at her opponent, who was currently glaring at her furiously. His emerald green eyes seemed to glow as the air around him grew hazy, and a dark, malevolent aura began to form around him. She gasped for breath, trying to calm herself, but the dark presence aimed at her made it difficult. She staggered under the aura.

She looked up, but gasped at the sight she was met with. The aura around Harry had morphed. It was no longer a shapeless mass. It was now in the shape of a massive, pitch black wolf. The wolf growled at her, making the normally composed girl scream in terror. She quickly turned Milό into its rifle form and began firing shots off at Harry.

Pyrrha screamed loudly and tried to fumble for her weapon (completely forgetting she didn't have it) until Spirit snapped his fingers and kept her in her chair. "That'll keep her from hurting herself," he said. Meanwhile, the wizards and witches blinked at Harry's latest display of power.

"...What?" McGonagall groaned.

"The giant spectral wolf is new," Ron commented.

"I suspect it has something to do with Padfoot, and his training in Aura," Hermione said. "That's the only reasons I can think of that his MSA can take a corporal form."

"'MSA'?" Glynda asked.

"Massive Scary Aura," Hermione explained. The experienced Huntress frowned.

"This has happened before?"

"Greengrass has this thing trademarked for Harry after seeing it," Ron stated, in lieu of an explanation.

Harry seemed pleased with himself.

Harry showed no outward emotion, and calmly dodged each shot with no effort at all. Pyrrha fired off more shots, aiming for his head, chest, and legs, hoping one would hit him. But it was all for naught, as Harry continued dodging with the same ease as before. She continued firing until she saw it wasn't doing any good, so she changed Milό into its sword form and charged Harry.

She was almost near Harry when he shifted his weight to his right side…and vanished! Her eyes widened as she skidded to a stop and tried to locate him. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew behind her and she felt a presence behind her. She whirled around and tried to slice it in half, but the presence vanished again, making her slice through air. Harry appeared behind her again, and she turned again and swung. She missed again.

"AND he's grown more dramatic," McGonagall groaned again. "For wanting to prove you are not your father, Mr. Potter, you do a very terrible job of it!"

Harry still looked horribly pleased with himself.

She spun around again, but Harry appeared in front of her and landed a hard right hook to her cheek. She staggered under the hit, but Harry didn't let up. He landed four more punches to her face, and chest, before he jumped up and spun, sending five quick kicks to her chest. She stumbled backwards. Using his Aura to push himself through the air, Harry landed behind Pyrrha and grabbed Akoύo from off her back. He held it with both hands and began to repeatedly slam it down on her head. He then slammed the shield into the side of her head, dropped Akoύo, and vanished again.

He reappeared in front of her and grabbed his sword. He rushed her, but she saw him coming. In a frenzied panic, she sent a huge pulse of magnetic energy at him, hoping to send his sword flying away from him, but he suddenly vanished again, but his sword remained, spinning violently in front of her. She hesitated, only for Harry to appear under her and sweep her legs out from under her. She rolled away as she hit the ground, but Harry did a hand stand and tried to land on her side, feet first. She rolled again, coming up behind the spinning blade.

Harry spun and brought himself upright and grabbed his sword. He thrusted forward, but Pyrrha used her Semblance to grab Akoύo. It flew into her hands, and she held it in front of her; but Harry's sword tore through the metal like tissue paper and nailed her right between the eyes. The resulting force from the blow made her cry out as she flew off the stage, her body glowing a bright red before flickering out. She hit the ground and rolled all the way to the auditorium's doors.

(End Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set it off)

Pyrrha, feeling the same effect as her other, was knocked unconscious. She would've been sent flying if Spirit didn't glue her into the chair. And if the other aura users weren't paralyzed with fear, they would've been very concerned for their friend.

"...Harry? I know we've joked before, but seriously man, JUST what kind of training did you do to be able to punch through shield grade metal like that?" Ron asked calmly.

"You're asking the wrong person, Ron." Harry told him.

The aura then vanished as suddenly as it appeared, making everyone gasp in relief.

The huntsmen and huntresses in training felt the same as their counterparts. "Okay, note to self: NEVER do anything to piss Harry off." Yang shuddered.

"Or if he angry, run away as far as possible." Jaune added. The others nodded in agreement while Jaune turned to Pyrrha in concern. "Is she okay?"

"No worries. Once the flashback is over, she'll be awake." Spirit reassured.

Harry calmly righted himself and pulled Pyrrha's ruined shield off his sword and sheathed his blade. He made his way off stage and walked in front of Cardin. Cardin frowned at him, but before he could say anything, Harry grabbed him by his collar and pulled him out of his seat.

"If you ever think about doing something harmful to my team again," he growled in the orange headed teen's face, "what I did to Pyrrha will look tame compared to what I will inflict on you!"

"...Should I feel bad for Cardin?" Jaune asked.

"No." Blake said instantly.

"Maybe." Yang suggested.

"He brought it on himself." Weiss stated.

"Probably?" Ruby guessed.

"...Okay, then." Jaune sighed before turning towards Ren and Nora. "What about you two?"

"Nope!" Nora stated cheerfully.

"Possibly." Ren answered.

With that, he scoffed at Cardin and threw him down to the ground like a sack of potatoes and walked over to Jaune. Jaune tensed, but all Harry did was nod to him and say, "Sorry about what I did to your partner, Jaune. Could you relay my apologizes to her?" Jaune nodded dumbly, and Harry nodded back and walked out of the auditorium.

Flashback end**

When the flashback ended, Pyrrha groaned and slowly got back up. "Pyrrha! You okay?" Jaune asked in concern.

"I think so." Pyrrha said. "What happened?"

"Harry scared you half to death, and then used that beat you." Yang answered nonchalantly.

Pyrrha paled a little, remembering the fear her other was feeling. "I….see." Inwardly, she hopes she doesn't fight Harry when he's in that state, ever.

Jaune still shivered when he remembered that day.

"An appropriate reaction." Hermione nodded in understanding. "Any day where you see an angry Harry is one you don't want to remember."

"Here, here." Ron agreed.

The huntsmen and huntresses in training shivered. "No argument there." Yang stated.

A large wicked looking mace crashed down on his shield, making him stagger back and breaking him from this thoughts. He cursed. Leave it to him to drift off in the middle of a fight!

"Wait, is this the fight against Cardin?" Pyrrha questioned, recognizing the fight.

"And he was drifting off in the middle of it?!" Weiss exclaimed, aghast. No wonder he was humiliated in that fight!

Cardin smirked as he tried to push Jaune to the floor, but Jaune tilted his shield to the side, and Cardin's mace slid off. Jaune then side rolled around to Cardin's side and righted himself. Cardin growled and spun. His mace came racing at Jaune's head, but Jaune bent at the waist and let the weapon sail over him. Cardin frowned and brought his mace up to slam down on Jaune's front, but the blond swordsman quickly put his hands to the ground and back flipped away.

"He's doing well," Harry observed.

"Much better than he did in our world," Weiss commented. "Before all he was doing was rushing Cardin and taking every hit."

Jaune slumped. "Yeah, I get it. I sucked back then," he grumbled.

"Jaune, you didn't-" Pyrrha consoled.

"Sorry, Pyrrha, but I did," Jaune rebuked.

Jaune landed and turned around. Cardin swung again, but Jaune ducked under the swing and side stepped away from Cardin. Cardin turned and swung again, but Jaune jumped back. Cardin growled again and tried an overhead swing, but Jaune rushed him. He slashed diagonally at Cardin's armor, then again diagonally, before ending his combo with a quick horizontal slash and a stab. Cardin's armor took the brunt of the slashes, but the stab made take a few steps back.

"Oooooooh! Nice!" Nora praised loudly, clapping.

"He's also stronger in this world," Blake said. "As much as I hate to admit it, pushing Cardin back is no easy feat."

He looked shocked, but soon began snarling like a wild animal and charged Jaune again, mace raised high. Jaune tensed, and just as the mace came down, Jaune reacted.

He side stepped the attack, and the mace landed right next to him, cracking the stage pretty badly. Jaune gulped, hoping he didn't get hit with that thing.

"Ha! Random funny thoughts!" Ruby snickered.

He shook his head of those thoughts and leapt onto the weapon, shocking his opponent. Taking the opportunity presented to him, Jaune quickly ran up the shaft of the weapon and Cardin's arms. He jumped off Cardin's shoulder and flipped behind him, sending a vertical sword slice at Cardin's back.

"Nice!" Yang whistled.

"Impressive, Mr. Arc," Ozpin congratulated.

"Indeed," Glynda admitted reluctantly. "To pull off such a move...it requires a high level of skill."

Jaune felt inspired. If a version of himself could do this, then what was stopping him from doing the same?

Cardin grunted as he was pushed forward, but he recovered and whirled around, bringing his mace around at Jaune. Jaune turned around and saw Cardin's mace approaching him. He held up his shield to block it, but the blow was too much for him as he was picked up off the ground and sent flying across the stage.

Everyone winced. "Damn," Ron mumbled. "And he was doing so well."

"Well, in his defense, he couldn't do much in that situation," Hermione said. "He was totally defenseless like that, and he didn't have the means to maneuver in the air like the others."

"True. In fact, Mr. Arc did remarkably well considering his situation," Ozpin commented.

Cardin ran to strike that finishing blow, but a curt, sharp tone cut him off: "Alright! That's enough!"

Glynda narrowed her eyes. "I thought Summer took over combat classes in this world. Why am I there?" she wondered.

"Perhaps she asked for your assistance for the class?" Harry mused. Glynda regarded the statement and nodded.

"Yes. That is possible," she agreed.

He stopped his advance as the lights of the auditorium brightened and Summer Rose and Glynda Goodwitch (who was asked to help out with the day's lesson) walked on stage. He moved out of the way, and Glynda began speaking. "Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura is in the red. In a tournament style duel, this would indicate Jaune is no longer fit to battle, and the official can call the match," she lectured. "Mr. Arc may have had more Aura than Mr. Winchester, but Cardin proved high Aura levels are only one part of the fight." Cardin smirked while Jaune hung his head.

"However," the voice of everyone's favorite combat teacher called out from Glynda's side. "Mr. Arc has proven that no matter how strong you may or may not be, that means jack-fucking-shit if you can't hit your target! While Mr. Arc hesitated slightly and was slow to react in certain areas, he demonstrated that being agile is a pivotal aspect when you're fighting an opponent much stronger than yourself." Cardin scowled in anger while Summer's smile widened as she turned to Jaune and said, "I've gotta say, Scrawny, I'm impressed with your growth the past month! Why, I'm so impressed, that I'm bumping you from 'Scrawny pipsqueak' to 'Scrawny novice.' A full three title jump! Now that's progress!" Jaune smiled a bit at that. He learned that that was Summer's version of a compliment.

"Indeed, it is." Ozpin agreed with a nod. "And quite a compliment it was, coming from Summer."

"While I wouldn't word it like Summer, I agree, Mr. Arc," Glynda spoke up, to Jaune's shock. "In the past month, you've jumped from the near lowest of your class to the top twenty. Such a feat is no laughing matter."

That shocked the Beacon students. "Did Ms. Goodwitch actually complimented Jaune?" Weiss questioned.

"Damn. Guess Barf Boy really is progressing." Yang whistled.

Glynda herself was slightly surprise by this, though she had admit, in her alternate self's place, she would've said the same thing. Especially since the current Jaune is making some progress, albiet slower than his counterpart.

Glynda didn't particularly like being proven wrong, but in this case, she was glad she was. Jaune had started out one of the worst in his class. She honestly thought there was a mistake regarding his transcripts until she saw him start to steadily improve.

Shocked and impressed, she began to observe his training habits. In all honesty, they were damn near suicide runs that would have Summer impressed.

"Really?!" Nora exclaimed in excitement. "That sounds like fun!"

"More like bloody torture!" Ron corrected. While he barely knows the woman, what they saw tells the teens and Mcgonagall enough about her.

Pyrrha cast a worried look towards Jaune, who went a bit pale, but still look as if he's considering it.

At first she thought he was being idiotic, but after a few days of watching his 'training,' she saw that each crazy exercise he did, she saw that each had some purpose; and that shined through with every new spar he participated in.

She even knew of his little training area near the edge of cliff leading to the Emerald Forest.

Now THAT shocked everyone from Remnant. Even Ozpin (Or maybe especially Ozpin), was taken aback by this info. "Ms. Goodwitch knows about his training area at the Emerald Forest?" Ruby asked in shock.

"And he isn't kicked out of Beacon yet?" Weiss continued, sounding just as shocked.

She had been shocked when she saw him use a make-shift pulley system to travel down to the forest, and had quickly pulled out her Scroll to locate him. What she saw was him parrying swipes from Beowolves, with surprising finesse at that. She had been shocked that he'd be so moronic that he would enter the Emerald Forest without permission or without supervision of a Professor that she had almost decided to exercise her right to expel him for disobeying the Academy's rules right then and there. But she held back. She wasn't sure why, but something told her to leave him be. Against her better judgement, she found herself keeping a watchful eye on him as he made his regular trips down to the Emerald forest, to make sure he didn't get himself killed.

Seeing him in his spar today, seeing how he was improving by leaps and bounds, Glynda was sure she wasn't making a mistake in not confronting him.

Ozpin, after getting over his shock, couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. Glynda always scolded him about playing loose with the rules, and yet she is, letting Jaune go due to the potential she now sees in him.

Glynda, hearing him chuckle and knowing what he's thinking, just elbowed him, grumbling a little.

"Remember everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away," Glynda announced. "It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms will begin arriving in Vale, so keep practicing!" This news had everyone pumped up. Team RWBY began to silently cheer as Yang shadowboxed, Ruby became jittery, Blake smirked widely, and Weiss's hands began to shake in excitement. Team HAIL smirked at each other as they all fist bumped each other.

The mention of the Vytal Festival, along with huntsmen and huntresses-in-training showing excitement in the book, had the magic users confused. "What is the Vytal Festival?" Hermione asked them.

The Beacon students looked at them in surprise before remembering that they aren't from Remnant. Blake took it upon herself to explain. "The Vytal Festival is an international festival that is held every few years. It's where our various cultures are celebrated with dances, parades, and a combat tournament."

"Especially the combat tournament!" Yang remarked with a grin. Excitement was shown from the others as well.

And it had the magic users interest. "It sounds something similar to the our quidditch tournaments." Mcgonagall. "Along with our Triwizard tournament."

"Only I doubt it has possible death in it." Harry remarked dryly. He still felt a bit bitter about the fact he got entered in when he didn't even want to be in that bloody tournament.

"Those who wish to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!" The bell rang after she spoke. The students began gathering their things as they stood and started walking out of the auditorium.

"Oh! And don't forget, my cute little students!" Summer called out. "Tomorrow we will be having a training day, and I want everyone to bring their rain coats because we're heading to the Forever Fall forest, and tomorrow a very powerful storm is supposed to roll in! Be prepared for anything!" Many of the students groaned loudly at that.

"Again. Insane." Weiss stated, emphasising the insane part. No one argued with her.

"I'm glad Harry didn't get this bad." Ron muttered to Hermione. "Yet." The bushy haired bookworm shuddered in agreement. And the two hope that he doesn't get that bad.

Pyrrha stood and looked up to the stage to see Jaune, but noticed he was already heading back to the locker room. She sighed and walked towards the door leading to the locker rooms, hoping to catch Jaune as he walked out.

That caused the present Pyrrha to let out a sigh. Even with his improving skills, he still seems a bit distant. Well, hopefully, he'll more acceptable to getting help from her and anyone else.

And that's the end. I hope you guys like this chapter. Hopefully, part 2 should come faster, since it will be shorter. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you guys later.
