The odd one out.

AN/ yeah a new story. I was inspired to write this after reading the story The only one, from MeteoriteCreature. I felt like trying this type of story out.

Chapter 1. Why Me?

An airship filled with youth flew over the city of Vale heading towards Beacon Academy. On said airship sat a young blonde boy with ocean blue eyes dressed in a black short sleeved hoodie, with faded blue jeans and some sneakers with a long sword in a white and gold sheath on his hip. This young blonde was Jaune Arc and at the moment he was drawing more than a few eyes. The reason for the stares was because he was the only male on the airship at the moment.

He sat staring at the floor not looking up at any of the girls who walked by pointing. He could hear them talking, asking about why he was on the airship. He was shaking and sweating as he tried to figure out what was going on. 'God damn it, how did I end up here, this isn't right!' He screamed internally as he looked up feeling ill. As he did he spotted a trash can at the far side of the airship, where he could vomit.

The reason for his current plyte was because he had aura... Yes, as odd as that sounds that is why he was now running across an airship full of girls to a trash can to throw up. Well let's rewind a bit so we can tell this story from the beginning. So this is how the world works. A long time ago humankind came to be, along with them came the creatures of Grimm, the Grimm are monsters of darkness, pure malice and hate wrapped up into a fun little package we call Grimm.

Now in the beginning human kind was pushed to the brink of extinction by the Grimm, but one day we discovered dust, with dust came Aura and with Aura came Huntress'. Amazing female warriors who had powers, who can channel dust and fight back the Grimm. Thank's to the huntress' and dust mankind was able to fight back against their impending doom and win. A story everyone has heard, now onto the interesting stuff.

As time went on people came to realize that while every living creature has aura it seemed only women could unlock and use their aura to confront the Grimm. People have tried for years to unlock aura in men but it has always ended in failure. It seemed men just weren't made to use aura. With that the structure of the world slowly began to became a female dominant one. And with the ever present threat of the Grimm, Huntress academies have become a staple of modern society.

People came to accept this, men had no longer sot to unlock their aura and most women wished to seek a career as a huntress'. To accommodate the ever growing Huntress' academy's and schools were made to train the young women who would become the world's protectors. All these schools and academies were girls only seeing as women were the only one's capable of using aura for combat.

This is how the world has worked for decades, at least that was how it worked till now. You see the one thing everyone thought that was impossible, the thing that no one ever expected to happen, the unspeakable had happened. And that was a man unlocking his aura. This man was none other than Jaune Arc, who at the moment was running across an airship to start vomiting into a trash can.

As he ran across the airship he passed the holoscreen on one of the windows as it played the news where they were talking about some robberies'. The screen changed showing a set of mugshots of an orange haired woman with a white coat flashed on screen before changing to a projection of Beacon's vice headmistress Glynda Goodwitch. The projection said that they would be landing in a few minutes and Jaune couldn't be happier to hear that. Back onto topic though, you see Jaune here was really special, save for having his aura unlocked he was below average.

You see, somehow, this unremarkable young man ended up having his aura unlocked, no one knows why, and they most certainly don't know how but it was unlocked, and now he was on his way to Beacon Academy for Huntress'. One of the most prestigious Huntress Academy's ever. This was one reason why at the moment he was throwing up. He was a nervous wreck. He had never wanted to fight the Grimm, hell he never even seen one till six months ago, but here he was on his way to Beacon Academy, to became the world's first Huntsman.

So to say he was nervous would be an understatement. 'Why did this have to happen to me!?' The knight thought as he continued to vomit even as the airship hit some turbulence and his vomit passed over the rim of the trash can and hit the floor rolled and got on the shoes of a poor blonde girl. Ignoring the fact he got vomit on someone Jaune just thought back to the events that had started this all. Everything happened the day he went to buy the brand new Dark Souls game six months ago.

He didn't even know what aura was, so imagine his surprise when he found out he had somehow unlocked it. It all happened when he was on his way home from buying the game. He was taking the same old road he always took home, only this time he had noticed a small little puppy abandoned on the side of the road. He had thought at the time was how adorable the pup was. Sadly, at the time he also didn't know that the pup was a Beowulf pup... Yeah, he fucked up. After he went and stupidly picked up the pup he ended up getting attacked by its mama, which happened to be an Alpha Beowulf.

Needless to say he thought he was going to die. The beast had beaten him into a clearing and bit into his left arm, it also destroyed his brand new video game, but that wasn't all that important even if it was a video game he had been saving up for. He was still upset about that but it didn't really matter in all honesty. At the time he was pretty badly beaten and bleeding more blood than he knew he had. When the Beowulf was about to kill him he did the only thing he could think of doing at the time.

Take the Beowulf with him. So while bleeding to death and more than a little disoriented he got the Beowulf to chase him to a cliff and he let it tackle him off it. He remembered grabbing hold of the beast so that way it would fall with him. He remembers everything about the whole ordeal. Surprisingly though he didn't die, hurray. Somehow during the fall, he had ended up unlocking his aura, how and why he didn't know, but he was thankful for it, well after everything he was thankful for it seeing as at the time he didn't know it was aura that had saved him, he just thought he was super lucky. When he woke up at the bottom of the cliff to find himself alive he was overjoyed and even more so when his sisters and mother found him.

Turned out after his fall while he did survive it he was unconscious for the rest of the day and the sun had already begun to set. When his sisters and mother found him they were overjoyed at least till he told them what happened. He showed them were the wounds he got were only for scars to remain, his mother had said they would discuss things in the morning and figure out how he survived. Just like she said the next morning she had asked to see him and did some strange chant on him which happened to make his aura flare up. His mother had almost passed out at the time from it while she was saying it was impossible for him to have aura.

While at the time he didn't know it was aura he had he didn't even know what aura was six months ago. After that his mom had taken it upon herself to teach him how to fight. That was not fun for him. For the first month after surviving the Beowulf attack and having his aura unlocked his mom made him do the most difficult exercise routine he had even been through. He would wake up at 4 in the morning and fall asleep at 9 at night. For the first two weeks he was so sore he didn't even think he could get out of bed after lying down.

Although while he hated the exercise and training his mom put him through he won't lie about how cool he looked now with some muscle on his boney ass. He was never the most athletic so he never saw any point in exercise. But his mother had beaten into him that he had to exercise now that he had aura. Why? He had no idea why, but he did now. See after his aura was unlocked his mother had taken it upon herself to let the world know that a man had unlocked his aura.

That had brought on some weird situations for him. Seeing as he ended up being tested by doctor after doctor trying to figure out what made him so different from every other man in existence. Needless to say he didn't like that, so after the doctors got tired of finding nothing he was finally left alone, at least that is what he thought. You see two months ago his home was visited by one Olivia Pin. The headmistress for Beacon Academy. The reason for her visit was so she could offer an enrollment form for Jaune.

She had silver hair that reached down between her shoulder blades, her hair was parted over her right eye as some of her bangs fell over her left eye, covering it some. Her eyes were a bright green hidden behind green shaded glasses. She wore a green dress shirt with a black vest and blazer over the top of it. She also had on a pair of black women's slacks and dress shoes.

She was giving him a chance to become a Hunter. At the time he was awestruck. He had no idea what to say. After Olivia explained everything saying how that other Huntress academies would come to either make him an offer or just force him to join their school by kidnapping him. In all honesty he didn't believe her at first till she explained how important he was now. She explained that with him being the only man in the world with the ability to use his aura made him a prime candidate for either experimentation or breeding.

The last one had left him very flustered and confused. Olivia explained that many of the other kingdoms would see him as the best bet to try and breed stronger huntress' and possibly sire a son who would also be able to use aura. After explaining what some kingdoms would be willing to do Jaune didn't see why he should go to Beacon either. He figured that they had the same intent till Olivia explained.

She said she would let him attend her school to both learn to become a Hunter and to protect him from the other kingdoms and Huntress Academies. After careful consideration and some persuasion from his mother, Jaune had agreed to go to Beacon. Which is how he ended on this airship surrounded by women who all have trained to be Huntress' their entire lives. After giving one last vomit into the trash can Jaune felt the airship land and as soon as it did he sprinted off. As soon as he felt his feet hit ground he let out a sigh of relief before looking up to see what was before him.

As he looked up at what he could only call academy before he wasn't sure it was an academy with how it looked more like a castle.

"Wow."

He said as he looked over the scene. Large buildings, students milling about and the new students like him flooding in from other airships. As he took in the sight for what felt like forever he was pulled from his gawking at the sound of an explosion drawing his attention as he jumped and let out a small yelp as he looked around for what was happening. Off to his left he saw a girl in a red getting yelled at by a girl in white as a small crater was present on the ground between the two.

As the girl in white continued to yell at the girl another girl in black walked up beside them interrupting the argument. Jaune just watched for a few seconds as he then saw the girl in white storm off while the girl in red looked ready to thank her savior only for the girl in black to walk away as if the who ordeal didn't happen. Jaune waited a few more seconds as he watched the girl in red fall to the ground. He stared some more as he watched other students just ignore her.

That bothered him as he mustered up some courage and walked over to the girl in red. As Jaune walked up to the girl in red he got a better look at her. He was surprised to see how young she was. She couldn't be older than 15. While that surprised him he figured it didn't matter as he stood over her.

"Hey."

He said drawing her attention as she opened her eyes to look up at him. She had shoulder black and red hair with the bangs on the right side of her face extending just past her chin. She had soft silver eyes and was dressed in a black blouse, a black waist cincher with red lacing and a skirt with red trimming, with a red hooded cloak. She looked up to Jaune somewhat surprised as she looked at his hand then at him. He just gave a small smile.

"You ok?"

He asked as he reached down some more as she slowly raised her hand taking his. Once he had a hold of her hand he easily pulled her back to her feet with no trouble at all surprised at how light she was. 'She is pretty small isn't she.' He thought as he looked over her again while she dusted herself off.

"Thanks for that, my name is Ruby."

The girl introduced herself as Jaune smiled.

"Your welcome, my name is Jaune."

He said as the girl smiled for a second before looking at him curiously before snickering.

"Aren't you the guy who threw up on the airship."

Ruby said as Jaune's smile fell along with his head as he groaned slightly. 'Of course she would have seen that.' He thought dejected as Ruby just reached up and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's ok."

She said in an attempted to reassure him only for him to sigh tiredly.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Look all I am saying is if you mix nervousness and motion sickness together you tend to end up with a volatile cocktail."

Jaune said as he waved his hands around animatedly while Ruby just snickered at him.

"I am sorry but vomit boy, is the first thing that came to mind."

Ruby said apologetically only to get a frustrated sigh from Jaune as he threw his hands in the air before crossing them over his chest.

"Fine then, what if I called you crater face!"

He snapped back getting a hurt look from Ruby as she stopped her foot as she threw her arms down at her side angrily.

"Hey, that explosion was an accident!"

Ruby argued as Jaune just smiled smugly at her before she huffed and turned away only for an awkward silence to feel the air around them before Jaune sighed and spoke up.

"Sorry about that."

He said as he looked forward while he and Ruby walked through one of the many courtyards of Beacon Academy.

"It's ok, I guess it was rude to just start calling you vomit boy."

Ruby said rubbing her arm before returning to an awkward silence. They walked like that for a few seconds before Ruby reached behind her grabbing hold of a red metal box thing.

"So, I have this thing."

She said randomly drawing Jaune's attention as he turned to be met with the sight of her whipping the metal box out as it expanded into a giant scythe as he jumped back in shock.

"Wow, is that a scythe!?"

He said shocked by how such a small girl could carry such a thing as he looked over the weapon.

"Yep it's also a customizable, high impact sniper rifle."

Ruby said getting a dumbfounded look from Jaune as she reached out grabbing a black grip pulling it back to reveal a slide with a chamber for a bullet.

"It's also a gun."

She said confidently only for Jaune to take a step back staring shocked at her.

"Cool... terrifying but cool."

Jaune said as she collapsed the weapon putting it back in its holster on the back of her waist.

"So what do you have?"

Ruby asked as the Jaune just rubbed the back of his head as he put his left hand on the hilt of his sword.

"Just a plain old sword. Nothing special or flashy, but now I might be thinking about getting a gun if people have weapons like yours."

He said as he looked at the sword on his hip. He remembered his mother giving it to him saying it was supposed to have gone to one of his sisters if they ever choice to be a Huntress but seeing as he was going to be a Huntsman, he should have it. Which brought a nagging question to him as he looked at Ruby wondering why she hasn't asked about him being at Beacon, seeing as it was supposed to be an all-girls school. Ruby just snickered as she looked forward over the courtyard they walked through.

"Well that sounds cool, not many people appreciate the classics."

Ruby said hopping to continue on the topic about weapons to only get a shrug from Jaune as he looked around.

"Hey Ruby do you know where we are going?"

He asked as he stopped walking as Ruby did the same looking around with him.

"No, I was following you."

Ruby said as Jaune just sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Well looks like we might end up being late to the entrance ceremony."

Jaune said as Ruby just shrugged as she looked around.

"You know what they say, better late than never."

She said with a small nervous smile as Jaune looked around till he saw some students flocking towards a large building.

"Yeah, well let's follow the crowd and see where that takes us."

He said getting a nod from Ruby as the two of them moved off to follow the crowd of students.

Xxxxxxxxxxx

After a few minutes of walking the two found themselves entering a large auditorium filled with students. As they entered a girl with long blonde hair started calling out to ruby drawing her attention.

"Ruby over here, I saved a spot for you!"

The blonde called as Ruby smiled brightly.

"Oh, hey I got to go, I will see you after the ceremony."

Ruby said quickly as she zipped away before Jaune could say goodbye as he raised his hand awkwardly.

"Right, bye."

He said to himself as he sighed feeling uncomfortable again as he noticed the stares he was getting from the girls around as he saw he was definitely the only man in the room. He just slowly made his way to the very back of the auditorium as he took to hiding away from everyone else as he leaned back against the wall, not wanting to draw attention to himself. As he did he looked around at the people as they all moved about taking places in groups as the girls all chatted and some even passed him some glances questioning why he was there again making him feel uncomfortable.

After a few more groups of students entered the auditorium the lights began to dim as one Glynda Goodwitch walked onto the stage drawing everyone's attention as Jaune let out a sigh at this as the people who had been looking at him turned away as they all looked to the stage. The knight didn't really feel like listening to what she was saying as he leaned back and looked up to the ceiling in thought. 'I really am going through with this. I am going to become a Huntsman.' He thought as he tried to understand what that meant for him.

As he continued to think more on everything he saw out of his peripherals that Olivia had taken the stage and was giving a speech. He just ignored it like he did when Glynda had taken the stage as he thought about what he was going to do. He was lacking compared to everyone else in the school as he had literally only six months of training and the small amount of fighting experience he got from just being a kid. He just sighed as ran a hand through his hair looking forward to listen in on the last of the speech only for some of the stage lights to flash as they ended up on him.

He froze like a deer in headlights as everyone in the auditorium turned to look at him as he was now the center of attention.

"I have one final announcement to make. For the first time sense the creation of Huntress Academies, Beacon Academy will be taking on the world's first Huntsman."

Olivia said as the crowd of students began to whisper confused by what was happening to someone shouted out about hearing that a man had unlocked his aura, eliciting gasps from the students. They all stared shocked at Jaune as he looked over the crowd wide eyed and shocked just like the rest not sure how he ended up being the center of attention as he looked around till he saw Ruby who looked to be just as confused as him while the blonde next to her just stared shocked.

"Now calm down everyone, I am not finished."

The headmistress said as everyone quieted down as some turned to look at her while many more continued to stare at Jaune as he gulped as the stage lights finally left him but he still was being stared at.

"So with this addition to our school I hope to see a new stage in life to allow for us to move forward into the future. I hope that with the addition to the world's first Huntsman at Beacon for our school to take on a new leaf, so to say, as we prepare for what's to come. I would also like for you to treat him like you would any of your other pears." Olivia said as Jaune was certain he saw an evil little smile on her lips at that as he could feel the students slowly inching towards him as he looked around hoping he could find a quick escape. "Now I will leave the rest to Glynda."

The headmistress said as her second in command came up announcing to everyone they would be staying in the ballroom for the night as she dismissed them all. Only for as soon as she said they could leave the crowd of girls swarmed Jaune as he turned to sprint out of the room. Only he was cut off by the crowd as they all came up to him asking questions. The questions ranged from how he got his aura to what made him different from other men while some asked if he really was a man.

As this happened he could see as the headmistress walked off the stage and away only turning back to him giving a small nod and a knowing smile. 'She did this on purpose!' He thought shocked as he tried to answer as many of the questions as possible while also holding onto his clothes as he was pulled from girl to girl as he tried to escape the crowd as they yanked him every way possible.

AN/ Yes, I know a new story, why would I do this, how could I do this and what is driving me!
