Chapter 5

The morning came late for everyone after all the fight they had yesterday. In JNPR's room the first one that woke up was Jaune, the instincts of waking up early and being aware of his surroundings completely forgotten feeling the warm and security of his old room.

With a big yawn he stretched his limbs and took a look around his room and friends, Ren was completely still on his bed like a log, Pyrrha was hugging her pillow tight mumbling something, when he looked around to Nora's bed he couldn't find her, raising his eyebrow for a moment after remembering what happened in the middle of the night, he looked down at his bed looking for her bubbly teammate only to find a single leg on his bed, the rest of her laying snoring loudly in the ground besides him.

With a chuckle he got up from his bed and went to carry the still snoring Nora to her bed and wrapped her on her sheets.

"You guys really don't have the slightest idea of how much i missed you" he whispered softly and went to wash himself and get ready to start his day, in the bathroom he looked at his reflection on the mirror and for a second he didn't recognize the man he saw, long gone was the goofy kid that once stood in that same spot thinking about being a hero, long gone were those blue eyes full of happiness and naivety, now there was a man that've saw the hell, his eyes now looked full of determination and experience.

For a second he forgot where he was, and the sudden shadow behind him looked exactly like one of the monsters he fought for an entire year, his instincts kicked in and a spike made from his aura went through the beast.

When he focused again he saw his aura spike buried deep on the wall and understood that the supposed beast attacking him was simply a shadow coming from the tree outside of the window. He couldn't help but sigh and look again at his reflection "Come on Jaune you're home now relax a bit"

After a few minutes of relaxing and calming himself he went to the bath, he surely will have to explain about the hole in the wall later.

When Jaune got out of the bathroom he was received with the sight of his partner waiting on his bed hugging what seems one of his hoodies "Hey Pyr what's up" he said casually "is that my hoodie?"

"Yes Jaune, your family let me keep this one… to remember you when we tough you..." she couldn't finish that sentence. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around here in a tight hug.

"Don't worry Pyr i'm here and i can assure you, that i won't go anywhere soon, i like here" he said smirking at her

"I know Jaune, but i missed you a lot and you coming back finally after all this time well i'm happy don't think otherwise please it's just that… i don't know I'm a bit overwhelmed" she said still hugging him.

Jaune was thinking about what to say when a big yawn interrupted him, Pyrrha pushed him making him tumble and fall from the force; a very sleepy Nora looked at them smiling.

"Are the pancakes ready?" she asked still not opening her eyes Jaune couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Of course Nora, wake Ren and get a bath and we'll go to the cafeteria" he said still on the floor "you should get ready too Pyrrha" with that he stood up with a jump and waited for his team to get ready, it was really good to be home.

Reaching the cafeteria with his team Jaune was happy that neither of them seemed to notice the hole on the wall or simply decided to not mention it. They all went to get their lunch, Pyrrha and Ren couldn't help but take a look at the immense amount of food Jaune got for himself, he simply said he missed Beacon's food.

They all were enjoying their food until a big hand grabbed Jaune by the shoulder, when they look up all of them grimace at the person.

Cardin Winchester, Jaune's old bully and reformed racist of Beacon, after Jaune saved him on Forever Falls he stopped with the racist act and now only liked to get on peoples nerves and tried to keep his bully appearance.

"Look who decided to show his face again, Jauney-Boy" he said with a smug smile clearly trying to put more force than needed on Jaune's shoulder, not that Jaune notice it, so he smiled kindly at him got up and for the surprise of everyone he hugged Cardin in very casual Bro hug.

"Cardin, Man Look at you, you haven't change a bit how've you been" he said in his usual friendly manner taking Cardin by surprise, after a few seconds Cardin recovered himself and started again.

"I thought you were dead Jauney-Boy, we even had a happy little funeral for you" the NPR guys clenched their fist from that comment and Cardin was about to back off, looking at the glares of NPR but again for the surprise of everyone Jaune laughed.

"Oh man really? Who would've thought that? I hope they don't charge me the cost of that" he said still laughing a little.

The stunned Cardin looked at him like he was crazy and then decided to leave before the rest of Jaune's team kill him and just left saying "whatever"

"Good old Cardin don't you think guys?" he asked them only to see the stares of his friends directed at him "What?" They were about to answer when a red and black blur slammed against Jaune's back.

"Good morning Jaune!" Ruby chirped on Jaune's back "Why you didn't wake us up meanie!" Jaune just smiled at her.

"Well i thought you four needed a well-earned rest so i let you sleep" he looked at the incoming team and greeted them "Hey ladies how do you slept?"

"Very well, well thank you for asking Jaune" the always proper Weiss answered him first

"Fine Thanks Jaune" Blake said looking above her book, he looked at the last RWBY member who looked still very sleepy

"Hey" that was all that's he got from the blonde brawler.

"Hey Jaune let's practice with our new weapons after lunch!" the always hyper Ruby exclaimed "i'm really excited to practice!"

"That idea is grand Ruby we should totally start to practice" Pyrrha seconded the idea, "i really want to start practicing with you again partner"

"Well that sounds like a plan-"suddenly another voice cut him

"Mr. Arc i hope we could talk before your training" Ms. Goodwitch appeared behind them "Headmaster Ozpin require you after you finish your lunch" Jaune raised an eyebrow but nodded.

"Sure Ms. Goodwitch just give me a second here" he finished the rest of his meal and got up "Go to prepare on one of the training rooms guys i'll catch up with you in a bit" a series of nods were sent on his direction and he smiled at them "Let's go then"

After some minutes of walking in silence he couldn't help but wonder what Ozpin wanted to talk with him "Maybe is something about the scroll and my notes?" he was pulled out of his thoughts by Glynda.

"How do you sleep in your first night here Jaune?" she asked, Jaune smiled thinking about the agreement of both of them of talking less properly when they were alone.

"It was well for the most part Glynda, i-"he hesitated for a second but decided to tell her, after all he considered Glynda a friend "I still have nightmares, sometimes i can handle it but sometimes they are really… bad, Nora helped me yesterday" he chuckled at that, for all her bubbly and hyper attitude she was really a kind and protective girl.

"If you need help with that or simply someone to talk you knows my door is always open Jaune" He nodded at her smiling warmly.

"Thanks Glynda" and with that the rest of the walk was in a very comfortable silence. After few more minutes they reached Ozpin's office, when they opened the doors they were received with a very particular image.

Ozpin was sitting in his chair sipping from his mug, nothing weird there but, at his side were a very hyper Port and a very caffeinated Oobleck talking between them about something with a lot of papers on the floor and over Ozpin's desk, Glynda Cleared her throat catching the attention from the men.

"Mr. Arc is here as requested headmaster" she said sending a glare to the other two professors and the mess they had on the Office, before Ozpin could talk Port and Oobleck went right in front of Jaune

"My boy this is amazing, all this information here in your notes and the pictures! " Port practically yelled shaking Jaune by his shoulders.

"Indeed Mr. Arc this definitely will change the fate of many future hunters! All the information about the Grimm, the location of weak points and weakness not mentioning the tactics you have written are amazingly explicit and well thought –"before Dr. Oobleck continued with his rambling port interrupted him.

"As i've tell you before Mr. Arc have one of the most cunning minds i've ever have the pleasure to mold to became one of the best hunters in all Remnant!" the always over-excited Port Said making Jaune blush a little.

"It's nothing so spectacular" Jaune said sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

"It actually is Mr. Arc" Ozpin rose from his seat speaking for the first time since Jaune reached his office "Think about it Mr. Ar- Jaune, this notes with all the tactics all the specific weakness and weak points of types of Grimm that are almost completely unknown for everybody, will save the lives of so many hunters that find these nightmares on their journeys, this notes could give them the chance to survive almost a certain death" Jaune found himself completely stunned after the headmaster speech.

"So please tell me Jaune after hearing this, you still think that this is not spectacular?" Ozpin smiled warmly at Jaune "There is nothing wrong with accept praise Jaune"

"Yeah… i guess you're right Headmaster" Jaune couldn't help but feel proud on his chest after hearing that.

"I know I'm right Jaune, but actually i didn't call you here to praise you, i call you here to request something from you" Jaune looked at the headmaster straight in the eye, he let him get back into Beacon after a year without a test nor anything so he was willing to do whatever the headmaster requested.

"After reading through your notes and pictures we decided that it's necessary to teach all the student body about this, so what i am asking you… will you be the one to impart this class to the students." Jaune was again stunned, he giving a class for all the student body?! The headmaster finally lost his mind from drinking all that caffeine.

i-I'm not sure i am qualified to do that Headmaster" Jaune stuttered a little "Won't any of you more qualified for that" Ozpin actually chuckled at that

"You may be right on that Jaune but… we didn't fight those monsters do we? You´re actually have more experience on that topic than us" Jaune thought about refusing completely but remembered what Ozpin said, if his notes and his firsthand experience could save anyone he couldn't refuse.

"I'll do it… when you want me to impart this class and what i'm supposed to say?" Jaune asked a little more confidence in his voice

"Two days from now in the arena Jaune and don't worry we don't want you to go in full details about tactics and weak points… this special class is more about they knowing about what they could find and make them understand the real dangers that await them in this path" Jaune nodded in understanding he could see what the headmaster wanted him to do.

"Right i think i can do that-"before Jaune could continue a thunderous laugh interrupted him

"My boy this is great! Come on Bart we need to prepare Jaune's class" the Portly man grabbed Oobleck and dragged him out of the office in a feature of speed that no man of his complexion could have.

"There they go" Glynda sighed and looked at the chuckling knight "Thank you Mr. Arc know that i'll be at your side in this class"

"Thank you Miss Goodwitch i appreciate it, Do you need something else Headmaster?" Ozpin seemed to think about it and nodded.

"Yes actually Mr. Arc i understand that you want to help your teammates and friends with their new weapons" Jaune nodded "Well i want to watch your training" Jaune raised an eyebrow but nodded

"Ok, they must be waiting for me in the training rooms, shall we?" With that all of them walked out of the Headmaster office.

After reaching the training rooms the three of them were received with a very particular sight, Nora was swinging her axe wildly; Ruby was dashing from side to side of the arena like a tornado with her daggers in hand, Yang was… stabbing the air like she was in some kind of horror movie, the rest of his friends were in the far part of the arena actually getting used first to their new weapons, Jaune couldn't help but laugh at the sight, Ozpin chuckled a little and Glynda simply massaged her temples.

"Hi guys!" Jaune yelled getting the attention of everyone; some of them widened their eyes or simply raised an eyebrow looking at the Headmaster and Miss Goodwitch "The professors wanted to watch our training so let's begin" Jaune went to the center of the arena.

"This first training is very simple i'll tell you some pointers and spar with you a little let's say 3 minutes after all i've fought with those weapons in the past" everybody perked at that, an opportunity to fight Jaune! "Well who want to go first?" before anyone was able to raise a hand Yang jumped at the center of the arena.

"Let's do this Vomit-boy!" Yang raised her new knife; Jaune nodded and went to her.

"Well Yang let start with some pointers, first the psycho stabbing you were doing would be very hard to use against Grimm" Jaune said smirking at the red cheeks of the brawler but continued "That kind of attack leave you with a lot of openings, try short slashes and fast front or bellow stabbing always aim for the head, throat and chest, remember killing fast your enemy could be the difference between life and dead" after saying that Jaune taught Yang some moves he used to use with the knife.

After a few minutes Yang nodded at him and Jaune went to take his stance before the match started Yang decided to ask something.

"Wait a minute! Why aren't you drawing your sword?" Jaune smiled at her.

"Because it would be a little unfair don't you think?" Jaune asked sincerely without a sign of malice, but to Yang that was a challenge.

"Oh! So you think that i will lose against you eh?" Jaune actually smirked at her, her eyebrow tickled in anger who think he was! "It's on Vomit-Boy" and with that last statement she lunged at Jaune knife first, Jaune just ducked every attack she made, he had to admit it she was a fast learner, she was using the attacks and stances Jaune showed her.

After three minutes Yang was panting getting used to a new weapon was hard, she looked at Jaune but he didn't looked even slightly tired, he smiled at her.

"You did well Yang, just need to get more used to your new weapon, and try not to let your anger and pride get the best of you" he looked like he wanted to say more but decided against it.

"Well take a break Yang, Who's next?" When he looked at the rest of his friends all of them had a very thinking look. He was about to ask what happened but Nora raised her hand and went running to the arena.

Meanwhile in the grades the rest of his friends had the same thought in their minds

"I wasn't the only one to notice it right, you saw it too?" a very confused heiress asked to her Faunus friend.

"Yes i did" was the short answer of the Faunus, Ruby looked at them confused.

"What are you guys talking about?" to her the fight was amazing Yang using a new weapon was something amazing to her and Jaune dodging every attack like it was nothing was more amazing even! To her side Pyrrha decided to answer her question.

"Jaune didn't move a single step from his position Ruby, he simply circled and dodged every attack Yang threw at him, it's… a very amazing feat to accomplish" Ruby thought about it a little.

"Well it's not completely rare, i mean is the first time Yang used that weapon" This time for the surprise of everyone Ren decided to answer her.

"It may be Ruby, but Yang threw some good attacks at him, i can easily tell that i couldn't dodge some of those attacks without moving" Ren said.

"Me neither" Blake without moving her eyes of the blonde in the center of the arena.

Ruby couldn't help the wide of her eyes at that, Blake and Ren were the most agile and fast members of both teams, even with her speed and Crescent Rose she always had a hard time hitting them.

"Just how much you improved Jaune" she whispered softly.

The spars were fast as expected three minutes wasn't a lot but to the surprise of everyone even the teachers the results were exactly the same none of them, not even Pyrrha with all her skills nor Ruby with her speed could make Jaune take a step to dodge.

That was other thing that bothered everyone Jaune just dodged every attack every move Jaune dodge it like it was nothing! How could be possible no one was supposed to improve that much in such short amount of time!

"Just keep practicing guys none of you are accustomed to the length, the weight nor the weapon you're using, practice more and you'll be masters on them in short time" Jaune smiled at them and was about to join them in the grades when a question stopped him.

"Mr. Arc can you please spar against them again?" Jaune cocked his head at the headmaster, why would he do that is not going to change the result he thought. "But this time with their normal weapons"

"Sure, i mean i can but why?" He asked a bit confused at the headmaster request.

"I simply want to see firsthand how much you improved Mr. Arc nothing more" Jaune nodded seeing the reasoning behind the request of the headmaster before "And please Mr. Arc i want to see the full capacity of your semblance" That did make Jaune stop.

"I'm not sure i should use my semblance on them Headmaster" Before Ozpin could say anything a very stubborn and prideful brawler stepped in.

"Come on vomit-boy this time with my babies i will kick your butt!" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"I must say Arc that no matter how much you improved we didn't use our weapons that means we were at disadvantage I'm fairly sure we could beat you with them" Jaune sighed they´re prideful he almost forgot about that.

"Well then... get your weapons i'm going to fight you with all my power, i recommend you do the same" the seriousness on his voice make them all flinch but they complied and went to retrieve their weapons.

"They are way to prideful headmaster that is something i hoped you changed in the year i was gone" he said looking at Ozpin with a sad smile, Ozpin sighed.

"We try Jaune trust me on that, every opportunity we have we try to teach them that they're not invincible, that they're at the end of the day just human beings" Ozpin answered sadly.

"They being the top of the second year don't help a lot with the pride thing Jaune" Glynda sighed.

When all of them returned they saw the determination in Jaune eyes, unknown to them Jaune was about to teach them a lesson before that pride they have got them killed.

"Let's start this Yang, Weiss come down" that surprised everyone again he was thinking of fighting not one but two of the best second years!

"Do you think it's a smart move Jaune? I don't think you can handle both of us in combat" Jaune stood silence.

"As i said before it doesn't matter how much you've improved Arc challenge the both of us is simply idiotic" the heiress said with a huff. Jaune couldn't help but sigh at them.

"You know i love you all guys right?" he asked confusing them changing the subject so drastically "But you two have a major problem, you're way to prideful and that's fine in good amounts but your pride, your sense of being invincible, let me tell you something that would make you get killed."

The way he said that make them take a step back, it was very rare hearing Jaune talk with that coldness in his voice.

"Someday you would bite something you couldn't munch and it will be your end, remember something you're not invincible… and I'm going to demonstrate you that right now" After those words Jaune let his aura go wild.

The pressure that emanated from Jaune was something that no one felt before not even the teachers who were struggling to handle that much pressure, Ruby actually went to her knees and the rest of them were struggling to breathe from the inhuman amount of aura Jaune was showing.

In a flash Jaune was in front of his opponents before any of them could react Jaune kicked Yang in the gut and she went flying to the wall with a quick turn he did the same to Weiss and the heiress went sailing to the other side of the arena.

The bell rung and the lights of all the arena went on indicating that the match was over all of the spectators were silent not even the teachers said anything in their minds just one thought "what just happened"

They heard a grunt and looked at the wall where Yang was imbued trying to get out; Jaune was the first to break the silence.

"I'm going to be honest, without the surprise factor things could have been completely different, but that wasn't the point of this" he looked at the heiress on the floor and the very sore brawler still imbued in the wall "The point of this was, you need to take every enemy and every treat with all the caution and seriousness you can, i stopped after getting you down but an enemy, human or Grimm won't" they all flinched at that.

"You could have either deflected or dodge my attack, but you didn't took me serious, you were sure that you were stronger than me that with your experience and own weapons i didn't had a change against you" Jaune sighed all the cold in his voice gone "You need to start thinking that you're not invincible, and the soon you learn that, you're going to have more chance to survive"

With that Jaune took his leave, leaving seven hunters in training very conflicted and two teachers completely stunned.

"Glynda…" was all Ozpin could say in all his years, in this life or the others have never felt something like this, this pure raw quantity of aura was more that he calculated yesterday this was completely insane.

"Ozpin… maybe he could help her" she whispered "Aura transfusion is something not used a lot because the strain it put on the donor it's something not anyone could handle… but with this quantity and his already known healing factor…" she trailed but stopped this couldn't be discussed here.

"I'll make the preparations request the help of Mr. Arc the day after his Class" with that Ozpin left to his office.

Glynda looked at the still very conflicted students and prayed that after this they'll take everything more serious after sending them another look she left the room.

In the arena no one talked they were completely overwhelmed, in Yang and Weiss case they were still very conflicted about everything, their pride was completely shattered, but that wasn't the worst part, the worst part was that they knew Jaune was right, they let her pride don't take Jaune seriously, demeaning that he survived one of worst places in the world, that only with his skills and mind he survived that hell.

"Are you okay Yang, Weiss?" Ruby asked a bit cautiously

"Yes Ruby I'm alright just a bit sore" the heiress said still with her hand on his stomach

"I have to tell you Vomi- Jaune, have a very powerful kick" Yang said trying to lighten the mood "But i understand his point i didn't took him seriously how could i" she chuckled sadly "I mean he was improving but to became this good and you felt the pressure of his aura! That was completely crazy!"

"Yes it was, and don't be so hard on yourselves" was all that her Faunus friend could tell them

"To be honest i expected Jaune be more powerful after all he got out of the place where no one ever survive, but this was way more than what i had in mind" Pyrrha added joining to the conversation.

"Exactly Pyrrha we should've known that, but looking at Jaune the same goofy smile the same kind attitude… we completely forgot about everything he went through" the now crestfallen brawler said.

"What he said, he was right you know we really have a problem with being very prideful…" Weiss looked ashamed "I have a lot to think about, i'll head to the room"

"I'll do the same i still feel dizzy from that kick i want to sleep a little" Blake helped Yang get up and accompanied her teammates to her room.

"We should find Jaune guys; he must feel really bad for what happened" Ruby said to NPR, they nodded and separated to find the blond knight.

Xxx

A few hours later Jaune was in the rooftop, admiring the beauty and tranquility of the day.

"I missed so much this peace" he mused to himself and then put a hand on his face "oh man i really overstepped there, who do i think i am to try and give them lessons, i mean they had to learn that sooner or later but…" he trailed and sighed "God dammit i need to say sorry don't i Ruby?"

A startled shriek came out from the very surprised Reaper "How do you know it was me?" Jaune just chuckled

"You're not precisely sneaky Rubes; you need to put a lot less pressure on your steps, that's how y knew someone was behind me and how i knew it was you? Well you smell like strawberries so it wasn't a difficult guess" Ruby actually blushed a lot with that comment sniffing her armpits a little and shaking her head she went to sit beside Jaune.

"I went too far didn't i Ruby?" he asked again hanging his head in shame

"I don't think so Jaune" she said softly "I mean i know Yang had a problem about feeling invincible and trust me our father tried very hard to teach her that, you know beating her in spars very regularly and all that, but i guess she knew he was stronger than her and didn't take seriously the defeats and didn't change a lot"

"But with you, I'm sorry but she never though very high of you" Ruby widened her eyes "She considers you a friend but!" Jaune waved a hand at her

"I know Ruby i know, i wasn't the best of a challenge for anyone on our teams so i don't hold a grudge against her for that"

"Heh, yeah that's how you are" she whispered "Well with how the fight went today i really wish she took everything more cautiously… what you said about an enemy don't stopping after beating you, that… really put every one of us to think"

"I know it was harsh Ruby but as i said i love you all and that lesson could save your life…" Jaune said looking at the horizon

"We all know that now thank you Jaune" she put her head on his shoulder and stood there for a while just looking at the landscape with Jaune.

"I don't know what's going to happen in the future Jaune but with you here again… i feel… complete" that was the last thought in Ruby mind before she fell asleep.
