"It's morning! It's morning! It's morning!" The loud singsong voice woke up everyone in a 20 foot radius. Including Jaune.
He looked up to where the noise was coming from, and saw a ginger haired girl, who seemed to be teleporting around a oriental looking boy who looked dead on his feet.
"SorenhowdoyouthinkteamsareassignedRen?Doyouthinkwe'llbetogether?Notliketogethertogether!Notthatyouaren'thandsomeoranythingbut..!" The ginger girl seemed to think as fast as she could think, and it was giving Jaune a headache. Luckily the boy was able to quite her by holding up his hand.
"Nora. I think you are being a bit too loud." The boy, Jaune thought he heard the girl call him Ren in that torrent of talk, said in a very slow and calm voice.
The girl, Nora looked around and saw Jaune looking at them, obviously woken by the commotion.
"Oops." Nora said rubbing the back of her head and grinning "Sorry about that!" she called even louder to Jaune, subsequently waking even more people up.
Jaune sighed, got up and went to get ready for initiation.
After going to the cafeteria to have some bacon, eggs, coffee and baileys, and seeing a swordfish being spit roasted as well as the Nora girl from earlier eat what looked to be every pancake in existence without exploding. He went to the changing room to get his equipment.
His locker number was 636, but for some reason it wasn't between numbers 635 and 637 so he had to spend nearly thirty minutes looking for it. Luckily he never let his gourd out of his sight so he didn't get too annoyed. Still ticked him off a bit though. And it didn't help that when he finally found it, that the Ice bitch was right next to it, talking to another girl who, like every other girl Jaune had seen, was drop dead gorgeous. She wore bronze armour covering her forearms, shins, waist and upper body with silk as red as her hair interwoven in them, on her head was a tiara bronze same as the rest, and her eyes were an incredible shade of emerald.
Jaune walked up to the pair. "Excuse me." He said.
The pair turned to look at him, the redhead curious and Weiss looking annoyed. "What do you want?" she asked.
Jaune gestured at the locker behind the redhead. "My locker, it's behind you uh… sorry don't know your name."
The redhead was about to answer when Weiss cut in. "Wait you don't know who she is?!" She asked incredulously.
Jaune looked at Weiss glaring at him "Huh she has nice eyes, didn't notice that before." He thought before speaking. "Two things. One no I don't that's why I asked, it's how learning who people are works. And two I didn't know your voice could get shriller but apparently it can." He turned away from Weiss to look back at the redhead. "Now could you move please uh..?"
"Nikos, Pyrrah Nikos. And sure." She said stepping out of the way.
"Cheers." Jaune said stepping forward and opening his locker, reaching for his weapons. Weiss stepped up next to him glaring. "She's been the Mystral tournament champion four years in a row."
"Cool." Jaune said wrapping his hands.
"She graduated top of her class at sanctum." Weiss said getting more annoyed.
"Uh-huh."
"She's on the cover of Pumpkin Pete's!" Weiss was practically screaming at this point.
"Look I'm gonna be honest." Jaune said turning to Weiss who was glaring at him. "I wasn't listening to a word you said."
"ASSFSHERISHFDFKAJERLIUEHSLFHKHW!" Weiss made an incomprehensible noise as she slumped forward, steam appearing out of her ears.
"Anyway I think initiation is starting soon so…"
The intercoms crackled "All first year students report to the cliffs. Initiation will begin in thirty minutes."
"…I guess I'll see you there." Jaune finished giving a two finger salute to both the girls.

At the cliffs Jaune was zoning out, waiting for initiation to start. He decided to take his gourd off of his hip and start drinking. He loved his gourd, his master had given it to him and it was probably the best gift imaginable. Not a lot of people knew that dust could ferment, at least not every kind of dust could. The inside of the gourd was laced with expired water and earth dust. He just needed to pump a tiny amount of aura into it and the water makes the alcohol and the earth gives it the flavour. Made for a great and near constant supply of alcohol. The only issue was that the strength of his brew was off the charts. Basically twice as strong as absinth, so not a lot of people could handle more than a sip, luckily Jaune had a VERY high tolerance.
When the last of the first years finally line up, Ozpin, along with deputy headmistress Glynda explained how initiation would work. They needed to go into the Emerald Forrest, go north and collect a relic, along the way the first person they made eye contact with would be there partner for the next four years that they'd be there. At that Jaune heard glass shattering and looked over to see Ruby clearly distraught at that fact. He grinned at went back to his drink.
"… now are there any questions?" Ozpin finally finished. Jaune raised his hand looking at Ozpin out of the corner of his eye, still drinking. Ozpin looked at him and Jaune his face flushed as he stoppered his gourd and asked "How we getting down."
Ozpin grinned. "Like this." And Jaune was flung into the air as the launchpad at his feet was activated.
Everyone could here a faint "FUCK YOU" as Jaune was sent flying out of sight.
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
Jaune was seriously pissed. But at the same time, he was amused, Ozpin had some serious stones to pull a stunt like that with a student. "Guess this really was a school for hunters." Jaune thought as he righted himself in the air. He was beginning to arc downward and was approaching the tops of the trees fast.
Jaune pumped his aura into his hands and prepped himself. That was until a red and orange spear pierced his shirt and pinned him to a tree.
"I'm sorry!" a voice shouted from the distance.
Jaune looked up and saw the spear in his shirt. He reached up and yanked it out, and landed in a crouch on the forest floor.
"Guess I might as well wait for the person who threw this spear to come." Jaune mumbled to himself, sitting down and was about to take his gourd from his hip until he heard a growling coming from the bushes. He turned slowly to look at the three Beowolves coming out of the undergrowth.
Jaune grinned. "Time for some fun."
The first Beowolf lunged at him, and Jaune leaned forward and as the Grimm was half way over his head, he bit down on a small fire dust crystal in his mouth, igniting the alchohol in his mouth as he spat engulfing the Beowolf in flames. As the Grimm died, Jaune stood up, swaying as he faced the other two.
"Next?" Jaune slurred raising his hands and punching the air.
Both the wolves growled and lunged at him. One from the air one from below, Jaune jumped between the gap and landed in a somersault and immediately turned to the Beowolf closets to him grabbing its tail. Jaune grunted and threw the Grimm over his shoulder, exposing its stomach and immediately punching its chest repeatedly, crushing its ribcage. As it began fading Jaune turned to the last Grimm that was already lunging at him. Jaune swayed to the right, and pushed his back into the left side of the Beowolfs face, forcing it off balance. As it staggered, jaune continued falling and twisted performing a hammerfist strike on the Grimms shoulder and with a sickening pop dislocating it. Now that the Grimm couldn't walk, Jaune walked up to the Grimm and kicked its neck killing it.
As the last Grimm faded he began walking back to his gourd.
"That was very impressive." Jaune turned and saw Pyrrah walking towards him.
"Cheers." Jaune said taking a swig from his gourd. He grabbed the spear from the ground and looked at Pyrrah. "This yours?"
Pyrrah blushed a bit and looked down. "Sorry."
"It's fine. Next time you wan't to pin me to somewhere take me on a date first though." Jaune said taking another swig and tossing the spear to her.
Pyrrah blushed furiously as she caught it, but Jaune didn't see as he turned away and began walking north.
"C'mon then. Partner."
Pyrrah jogged after Jaune, and began walking beside him, as both of them headed out to complete initiation, and their first step to becoming hunters.
