Hey, everyone! Chapter one of The Hunt is available for reading! Here's a brief preview featuring our two non-RWBY heroes.

"Yes, Commander!" Pyrrha saluted. "Jaune and I will do our very best! Won't we, Jaune?"

"Uh, what?" Jaune blinked. He wiped some sweat from his brow, then looked guiltily at them both. "Sorry… I wasn't really there for that last part."

"I said we'll do our very best to make sure Roman Torchwick gets to General Ironwood's hands without a problem," Pyrrha said, grabbing his shoulder gently. "Right?"

"R-right!" Jaune gulped under Glynda's glare. "We will, t-totally…"

Pyrrha stood beside him for a moment, as if waiting for him to walk away. Eventually, she figured out he was not going to do so anytime soon, so she turned him around and gave him a little push, getting to start towards the jet.

"What did I tell you about confidence, Jaune?" Glynda heard Pyrrha whisper. "Don't let yourself be intimidated. You have nothing to be ashamed about!"

"Yeah… You're right, Pyrrha," Jaune sighed, then puffed his chest out. "Let's do this! It's just another easy-peasy job, no match for our combined might!" he paused. "Well, I'm sure you'll do most of the work, really. But I'll give a mighty appearance too!"

"That's… a step in the right direction. Keep working on that, Jaune."
