It all started during an aura exercise class. The goal of the current assignment was to tap into your aura and draw it out in one large amount. This task was to help the user of the aura to increase its capacity, thus making the user able to endure and use more aura in the future.

All of the students in the class were already finished, all except Jaune, who was straining his body in an attempt to concentrate. His face was red, his veins were pulsing, and his breathing was heavy, but he just couldn't do it. He was thankful that this class was the only class that he didn't have his friends and teammates in. He had already embarrassed himself enough, he hated seeing the looks on their faces as they tried to show him sympathy for his ever continuous amount of failures.

"Alright Mr. Arc, I'll give you one more chance to complete this task. If you can't do it, then we're moving on," Glynda said. The rest of the class had bored expressions on their faces. They were being forced to wait due to Jaune's current struggle.

"Y-yes ma'am," Jaune said, embarrassed that he was being watched. He could hear quite whisperings around the room saying certain things that Jaune wish he could fight back on, but he knew they were all right.

Jaune sat cross legged with his hands on his lap as he tried to relax and concentrate on his aura.

'Come on, stupid aura, work with me! You're embarrassing me! Just come on out and stop being so stubborn, damn you!' Jaune mentally yelled as his aura. After a few silent seconds, Jaune began to glow slightly. This happened every other time, but he didn't get any further beyond this. A couple students snickered at the slowly increasing strain on Jaune's face, but were quickly shut up by a glare from Glynda.

'Okay, just focus. It's just me, myself and I in here, nobody else. All I need to do is draw out my aura and be on my way.' Jaune stated mentally. As Jaune relaxed once again, his glow increased. This raised a few eyebrows, but not too many. This display still wasn't impressive enough to cause alarm.

After a few moments, the glowing increased in small amounts, until the room was illuminated in a bright flash of pure, brilliant white, blinding the spectators. Once the spectators unshielded their eyes, they saw Jaune Arc, the failure of beacon, surrounded by several white runes.

They didn't know how to react, and Jaune wasn't fairing any better. He could only stare, wide-eyed at the varying symbols gravitating around him. Glynda reacted immediately by calling Ozpin to quickly come down and make sense of the current situation.

In a sudden blur of speed, the symbols attached themselves to Jaune's body, fading into his skin. Jaune couldn't feel a thing. He was too distracted by all of the commotion around him to even bother at this point.

Ozpin rushed through the door just in time to see the last symbol place itself upon Jaune's right hand, and vanish. The classroom was silent, other than the murmurs between Glynda and Ozpin as they attempted to figure out what was the cause of this phenomenon.

"Um… can we move on now?" Jaune asked nervously, unsure of how to break the current tension. Suddenly, everyone's attention was on him. They had assumed he'd at least be winded after the amount of aura he expelled from his body, but he looked upfazed. Every other student was at least breathing heavily after releasing their auras.

A few seconds passed before a voice was finally heard.

"Yes Ms. Goodwitch. Please continue on with your class. I shall attempt to make sense of this event. Until then, good day students." Ozpin said calmly, as if what happened in the classroom was an everyday thing. He walked out of the classroom, leaving every student flabbergasted.

Glynda cleared her throat, "Yes students, while what happened was rather… odd. We must continue before the class period ends." Glynda said, returning to her strict demeanor. The students, now including Jaune, collectively blinked and quickly found their way to their respective seats, still trying to comprehend the sheer amount of power Jaune emitted.

Then combat class took place. A class that Jaune always felt dread towards, especially now that a large portion of the student body was staring at him. The rumor had spread pretty fast about Jaune. Somehow his team and team RWBY hadn't heard anything yet, so they were all confused as to how Jaune was gaining so much unwanted attention.

"The next fight will be between Jaune Arc and Cardin Winchester!" Glynda announced. Soon both of the hunters-in-training were on the training arena floor, getting in their desired stances.

Cardin may be thankful for Jaune saving his life, and he did have a new-found respect for him, his arrogant nature only decreased by a fraction. Cardin may have let off bullying Juane after the Forever Fall incident, but as time passed, Cardin slowly became his old, horrible self. He was actually planning on bullying Jaune and Velvet again.

Cardin eyed Jaune, like a predator, sizing up its prey. Jaune gulped under the fierce gaze of the brute, but steeled himself as he dropped into a solid stance with his shield out front.

In the spectator's area, Pyrrha noticed something about Jaune's stance. When she had trained with him the night before, he was stiff and unsure of himself. While Jaune looked as if he was currently nervous, his eyes were determined and he seemed more at ease. He was also low to the ground and had a firm grip on his sword.

'Is that… really Jaune?' Pyrrha thought.

Back in the arena, Cardin had his mace rested on his shoulder, taking lightly of Jaune.

"You know Jauney-Boy," Cardin started with a sneer, "I've heard from a few others that you displayed a shocking amount of aura earlier, and shook it off like it was nothing. While that is impressive, that won't save you from me!" Cardin yelled as he charged Jaune with a wicked grin. Jaune showed no signs of backing down, even if he was shaking from slight fear.

Cardin yelled as he brought his heavy mace down onto Jaune. Jaune closed his eyes and raised his shield. As soon as he felt the mace touch his shield, his eyes snapped open. Jaune angled his shield so the mace slid down and smashed into the ground. Jaune quickly slashed at Cardin's chest, leaving a large scratch on his chest plate. Cardin leapt back and stared wide eyed at Jaune, as did nearly everyone else who was observing the fight. In all of his previous fights, Jaune was never able to land a single blow on any of his opponents, but now he had not only parried an attack, but retaliated flawlessly.

Jaune didn't even understand what had just happened. His body had moved on its own, out of apparent instinct. Several different methods of attacking and defending flowed into his mind. Multiple techniques flooded into the surprised knight as he readied himself once again.

Cardin shook his head quickly to remove the shock on his face. The loser, the wimp, the overall failure Jaune Arc, had landed a solid blow on HIM. Cardin growled in anger as he charged once again.

Feeling his confidence slowly growing, Jaune also ran towards his opponent, much to everyone's increasing surprise. Cardin didn't have time to react as Jaune quickly slammed his shield into Cardin's chest, stunning him briefly, but that pause was all Jaune needed to rapidly slash and stab at Cardin. Cardin's aura gauge was dropping drastically, forcing him to finally fall back.

Cardin couldn't even believe what was currently happening. Jaune was beating him! EASILY! How was this even possible? Cardin yelled once again and slammed his mace into the ground, sending a shockwave towards Jaune. Jaune didn't even make an attempt to dodge. He swung his sword straight down into the shockwave, splitting it in half, allowing it to pass him. Jaune looked back up to Cardin, who was now completely shocked. In a blur to the spectators, Jaune stabbed forward with his sword. A large gust of wind picked up behind the force of the sword itself, making a near invisible projectile flying towards Cardin. The projectile slammed into Cardin's chest, sending him into the wall behind him and leaving a large dent into his chest plate. Cardin was instantly knocked unconscious, granting Jaune his first real victory.

After a few long, silent seconds, Glynda announced Jaune victorious. Jaune could hear his team and team RWBY cheering for Jaune and his victory. Soon enough, several other students joined then and applauded Jaune, who stared wide eyed at the projection board, showing Jaune's face with 'WINNER' in bold letters.

The next major incident of Jaune's present situation was a new form of team training, which was using a random teamates weapon against drones. The goal of the exercise was to show each teammate how effective another's weapon is and to find its weaknesses, so they can help their teammates work past them. Since Pyrrha and Jaune's weapons were almost similar, they had to swap with Nora and Ren. Pyrrha and Ren traded each other's weapons with clear discomfort while Nora traded Jaune her beloved hammer. Jaune laughed as Nora did her impression of Jaune, while clumsily swinging his sword.

Soon enough, team JNPR was on the training grounds getting in awkward stances, readying themselves for the group of drones. Soon four drones appeared, one for each student. As soon as they were given the signal to attack, the drones ran towards the unprepared group, but to everyone's surprise, they were all laid to waste by Jaune, who had Nora's weapon in its grenade launcher mode. Ren and Pyrrha both stared at Jaune in shock. There was barely even a pause after the go signal before Jaune had successfully taken out each drone with accurate ease. Nora was smiling at Jaune, happy that Juane seemed to understand her form of weapon so well.

In the operator booth of the drone terminal, Ozpin and Glynda stared at Jaune, who was scratching his head while laughing nervously.

"Increase the difficulty and tell them that only Jaune can stay. I have a theory." Ozpin said without taking his eyes off of Jaune. Glynda hesitantly complied and did what she was told. The rest of his team was reluctant to leave, but they knew they didn't have a choice. So now only Jaune was left, still wielding the large hammer in its grenade launcher form.

Suddenly, a large group of drones were making their way to Jaune at a much faster speed than before. Jaune took a step back, but steeled himself and fired multiple grenades at the drones. While this was effective, there were simply too much for him to destroy quickly. As one drone finally got close enough to Jaune to throw a punch, Jaune leaned back under the metallic fist and spun around, sweeping its robotic legs. While it was still falling, Jaune shifted the weapon in his hands back into its hammer form and slammed it into the robot, creating a crater. Soon three more approached Jaune, this time all wielding sharp short swords. They all stabbed forward at the same time, but Jaune countered by spinning the large hammer like a windmill directly in front of him, sending the swords in different directions.

Jaune smashed one drones head clean off and fired one grenade as soon as it impacted, sending his momentum counter-clockwise, smashing other drone to pieces with the other end of the hammer. Jaune shifted the hammer into its grenade launcher mode went to fire another grenade at the final drone, but heard a soft but forceful 'click' as he pulled the trigger. Jaune didn't have any more ammo, so he slowed his instincts to take over. He quickly rolled towards one of the discarded short swords and grabbed it and threw in straight at the remaining drone. The blade the deeply imbedded into the robots torso, but it wasn't down yet. As the drone went to grab the handle of the blade, Jaune shifted Nora's weapon back into its hammer form and threw it. The head of the hammer landed perfectly into the handle of the blade, sending it straight through, thus destroying the robot. Jaune exhaled and stared wide-eyed at the damage he had caused. He had no idea where this amount of skill had come from. His teammates shared his expression of utter shock and awe.

Ozpin took the speaker into his hand and simply said, "Jaune Arc, please meet me in my office." Ozpin then shut off the mic and gave Glynda a knowing smile before walking off to his office.

Ten minutes later, Jaune found himself in a clock tower, which was apparently Ozpin's office. He nervously shifted in place as Ozpins gaze unnerved him.

"Jaune," Ozpin said, gaining his full attention, "I believe you've finally found your semblance."

The news quickly spread of the training grounds. It started with Jaune's team telling team RWBY about how Jaune destroyed so many drones alone with another person's weapon. Jaune had told them about what Ozpin had told him, and needless to say, they were shocked. A few random students managed to overhear this and spread the rumor, while giving Jaune an interesting title.

So now Jaune found himself surrounded by several students, who were firing off questions left and right. He was too stunned to understand any of them, but there was one thing that he kept on hearing in the crowd. One small series of words that followed his name.

Jaune Arc, Master-Of-Arms.

I stole the idea of Jaune's semblance from 'Louise the Zero,' I'm too lazy to look up the Japanese name of the anime, but you get the idea. Reviews are appreciated.
