"Yang, I don't know what to do," Ruby sat in front of her sister, the two in Team YVBL's room. "You're a leader, help your sister leader out."

"So, like Jaune's just been ignoring Weiss?"

"He acts like she doesn't exist!" Ruby rubbed the top of her head and groaned. "He doesn't look at her, and when he does it look he looking through her. If she tries to talk to him he doesn't even react, as if she wasn't there. And if more or Pyrrha tries to talk to him about her he just changes the subject. And we're not trying to upset him either."

"Geez, rough week."

"Yeah, Weiss was a little bit mean at first, but she said she was sorry and has gotten better. The problem now is Jaune, we can't have a team if one member of the team acts like another member doesn't exist."

"Well, why is Jaune acting like this?" Ren, another member of Yang's team asked.

"On the first day of school, Jaune and Weiss were butting heads, it seemed like anything Weiss did would upset Jaune." She started to explain. "But Jaune has been nothing but nice to the rest of us."

"Well then maybe you just gotta put your foot down as a leader." Yang stood up from her bed and slammed her fit into her palm. "Just sit him, get up in his face and tell him "Jaune, you and Weiss are gonna kiss and make-up!"

"That doesn't sound like a good plan." Blake, Yang's partner, spoke up. Lifting her eyes from her book. "You can't just force someone to like someone else, this should be something they handle between themselves."

"I don't think I can leave them in a room by themselves." Ruby leaned back against the wall. "Last time we left them alone, Jaune threatened her."

"Shush, over-reacting that much?"

"No, Jaune had her at sword point, and from what Weiss said he had three swords making a triangle of death around her neck." Her hands were wrapped around her own neck. "That's like really messed up and I really don't know how to confront him without ending up like Weiss."

"He wouldn't dare try and hurt you if he knows what's good for him!" A flash of red hit the eyes of the blonde.

"Yang, do you honestly think you can beat him?" She questioned her sister. "His armory is huge and we learned that it holds much more than just weapons!"

Yang remembered back to his fight with the prick Cardin and how Jaune had him strung up with chains, frankly that's how he won most of his matches when his opponents weren't fast enough to dodge. Then he would say they weren't ready for a fight at this level.

"I mean… We'll never know unless we try."

"Well, I'm pretty sure Jaune wouldn't do that to me, He's really nice to me and Pyrrha, but everyone has their limits and I don't even got a clue what his are." The shorter leader ran her hands down her face.

"What does Pyrrha think?" The lone male asked.

"She's just being friendly to both of them and tries talking to Weiss when Jaune is in the room hoping he will chime in." She leaned far back in her seat. "But, Jaune is like super stubborn, like more than Uncle Qrow! Like yesterday, Weiss stood in Jaune's way by mistake as he was leaving the room and he just ran her over, when Pyrrha confronted him about it he acted if he didn't know what I was talking about and wouldn't back down."

"Sounds like he's taking this fight to heart." Blake looked up from her book.

"I don't what to do."

"I know what to do!" Nora spoke up and all eyes turned to her.

"Oh, this is going to be great." Yang smiled.

"Anything would be better than nothing." Ruby sunk into her seat. "I'm all ears, Nora."

"Make them fight!" The room grew quiet for a moment.

"Nora, I'm trying to avoid Jaune killing my Partner."

"Well, duh, You have to watch them silly." She said with a small eye roll as if it was the easiest thing to do. "See, Jaune likes nice people and he makes friend with them, but Jaune-Jaune also likes powerful people, That's why he likes you and Pyrrha so much, You're both like super innocent and kind but you're also super tough. So if Weissy can hold her own in a match with him he'll have to notice her."

Everyone's mouth was nearly touching the floor as the hyperactive member of the team had all her facts and laid them out super clear and neat.

"Nora, how do you know all this?" Yang asked.

"I hang out with Jaune-Jaune all the time, he's my spotter!"

"But how are we going to get Jaune to fight her?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, he'll do it if you tell him to," Nora said.

"He won't talk to Weiss when I tell him too."

"Well, duh, he doesn't like her and you also told him that you were tired of the all the fighting." She rolled her eyes once more. "Can't argue with someone that doesn't exist."

"How did you know that?!"

"Hey, the guy has to vent to someone." She said with a big smile. "But if you tell him to fight Weiss, I'm sure he'll love the chance to fight her."

The room looked around at each other for a long long moment before Yang spoke up.

"I mean… It sounds like a good plan."

"You want me to what!?" Weiss didn't so much as yell but… no, she yelled.

"Weiss I don't have any other idea what to do." Ruby looked at the White haired girl.

"I mean, it doesn't seem like a bad idea," Pyrrha added.

"How pray tell is allowing him to kill me a good idea?"

"Jaune's not going to kill you," She hoped. "You just have to show him how tough you are and he'll respect or something."

The white-haired heiress didn't seem to be buying it.

"Come on Weiss, you're tough enough to take a hit, fast enough to dodge his attacks, I'm not saying you have to beat him, just show him that you belong here and get him to respect."

"This sounds like a horrible idea." She let out a small sigh. "But, if you both think it will help, I'm willing to give it a try."

"Yes!" Ruby cheered. "Now we have to do the hard part."

"Sooo… Jaune?"

He looked towards the voice of his Leader. Their team was having lunch with their sister team, it was very delightful. The pool of personalities was very refreshing from what he was used to in his hometown. Nora just finished telling an amazing tale from her dreams, what an enjoyable ball of energy.

"What do you say to a bit of team practice after history?" She asked with a smile.

"I see nothing wrong with that."

"So, Jaune, how have you been dealing with your bully?" Yang asked.

"Bully?" He gave her a questioning look.

"Cardin?"

"Oh, the Oaf." He rolled his eyes. "He's been bullying me?"

Jaune was walking the halls with a can of People Like Grape Soda, he started to drink the amazing beverage, The drink was so good that he leaned his head far back moving out of the way of the incoming hand aiming to slap the soda into his face. He pulled the drink away slightly to fast mistakingly hitting Cardin in the face as he was in the path and smiled.

"What an amazing drink, I guess people really do like grapes… soda." He gave a wink.

"Who are you winking at?" Ruby asked.

Jaune was leaving the boring calling of Port, The large Portly man bored him nearly to death with his tales of Grimm killing but he did his best to find the lessons hidden within… somewhere. He was looking at the time as he heading towards the door but unknowing to him Cardin was hidden on the other side ready to stick his foot out to trip the blonde.

"Oh, excuse me." He heard the blonde.

With that, he waited for the footsteps to draw closer and once they were at the doorframe, Cardin shoved his foot out into the walkway only for it to be plowed over by a much larger foot forcing Cardin to fall.

"Oh, My apologies, I didn't see you there." Cardin looked up to see a giant hulk of a man forcing to him swallow the nothing in his mouth. "Apologizes once again, but I am in a hurry."

The larger teen left as Jaune walked out of the room behind him seeing Cardin on the floor, "You should be more careful." He said before taking his leave.

Jaune was listening to his favorite teacher, Miss Goodwitch, explain how their lockers worked. He didn't really care because it was just a give poor version of his armory, but not everyone had his power so there was no need to brag or talk down on it. Suddenly someone grabbed Jaune's arm, it was much too big to be Ruby who was already known for doing it, so his reflexes kicked in before they could ruin his outfit. With a quick spin and pushed he freed himself and pushed the person away mistakenly shoving them into a locker that just happened to be open, well it was until the door closed from them falling in.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you startled me. I'll try to get you out." Jaune looked at the locker… Maybe he should've been paying attention to what Miss Goodwitch said. He reached out and pressed a few of the hologram buttons. "Oops..." The locker took off with the person within. If anyone found out about this Ruby, Pyrrha and Goodwitch would indeed yell at him… No one else saw.

Jaune went back to following the class.

"I believe I would have noticed." He pointed out.

"Really Jaune?" Yang gave him another questioning look.

"Well if he's been a problem, why hasn't anyone done anything." He pointed out. "We are training to be Huntsmen and Huntresses, Bullies should not be a thing here."

"Ow! That Hurts!" The cry for help gained the group's attention to see the Oaf pulling on the ears of a rabbit faunus. "Please, Stop."

"See I told you they were real!" The oaf spoke.

"What a freak." His goon chimed in before they all had a laugh.

The group looked at them with disgust.

"Atrocious," Pyrrha said sicken by the boy's actions. "I can't stand people like him."

"And he's not the only one…" Blake spoke up.

"What's Jaune doing?" Ruby asked but it was too late, the blond teen was already closing in on them. Reaching the group, the lesser members laughs died down and frown washed over their faces. This forced their leader to turn to him.

"Release her, Now." He ordered.

He gave a chuckle. "Or what." A spear suddenly flew past the left side of Cardin's face, grazing him and forcing his aura to kick in.

"Or I'll keep your arm." A large sword appeared over Jaune's shoulder moving slowly towards Cardin's arm. "That's what."

Cardin slowly let go of the girl's ear but she was slightly to shocked by Jaune to really move.

"What are you some type of animal lover!?" Cardin yelled at the blond teen, how just rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I am." He stated simply, and looked towards the rabbit faunus. "But Faunus." He turned back to Cardin with a harsh glare. "Aren't. Animals."

More circles appeared above Jaune and weapons slowly poke out as he spoke.

"I love cats, dogs, birds, all types of animals. But Faunus aren't any of them. They are not Pets, They are not Freaks, and most of all, they are not Animals, You beast." He spat. "They are people, and it doesn't matter if you like it or not, because there is nothing you can do about it."

He held his hand out for the girl to take which she did, he helped her to her feet before turning back to the redheaded oaf. "And if I ever see you picking on another Faunus again, I will keep something." With that all of his weapons withdrew as he turned to leave, leading the Faunus away.

"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, Miss," Jaune spoke to the girl. "I just can't stand when someone picks on a Faunus and must step in."

"Oh, no!" She panicked. It was just another day one Ruby. "I'm sorry if I caused you, most people don't really like us Faunus."

"Than most people are stupid, and hopefully with my display of power, they will think twice before making a foolish mistake." He heard her give a nervous chuckle.

"Violence won't really solve anything." She looked down slightly. "But, really thank you for the help." She gave a small smile. "It's nice to know that there are people willing to help, but I'm just going to head back dorm."

Jaune gave her a small nod as she left, he just noticed he didn't get her name. Oh well, they shared a history class. He soon found his way back to his table to see all of his friend looking at him.

"Is there something on my face?" He asked.

"That was amazing Jaune-Jaune!" Nora shouted. "You was like a knight in hacks-armor."

"Hacks-Armor?"

"You like summoned ten weapons, so that's like totally cheating, but your cheating for the side of good so that's good!" Jaune got a small chuckle as he understood.

"Yes, even if it was a bit… Much, Jaune," Pyrrha started. "It was nice of you to help."

"I don't know, some people might see her as weak because of it," Yang spoke. "Not trying to downplay what you did, I'm just saying."

"No, you have your point, Yang." Jaune looked down at his food. "I just don't like to see a Faunus being put down, so if I ever see anyone picking on a Faunus I will step in, period."

"Just Faunus?" Weiss asked. "What about a human?"

The group waited for an answer, but Jaune went back to eating his food. They then remembered the problem at hand. But someone really wanted an answer.

"What is a human was being bullied Jaune?" Blake asked. "Would you step in?"

"It depends on the person if they can fight and didn't need help then, no." He stated simply.

"What if the Faunus can fight?"

"You are asking a few too many personal questions, Miss Belladonna." His gaze moved to her with a slightly sharp stare. "Curiosity killed the Cat."

He heard a small gulp come from her.

"Jaune be nice," Ruby spoke up, He smiled and leaned in.

"Then how about we ask a few questions about your personal affairs?" He asked, his tone forced a blush onto her face right as the bell rung. "Saved by the bell, are we?"

"Quit teasing me!" The little puppy got up from the table as did the rest of the team as Jaune chuckled at her lightly, Team YVBL followed after only leaving Blake alone at the table. She slowly reached up touching her bow. Did he know?

Jaune was seated in his favorite class before his second favorite teacher beside one of his two favorite people. History, Dr. Oobleck, Pyrrha and Ruby. Today's topic, the faunus war.

"Yes, Prior to the Faunus Right Revolution, more popularly known as the Faunus War." The doctor was speeding around the classroom with a speed that was close to Ruby's, and a mouth to match, but he still came through loud and clear to Jaune. "Humankind was quite, quite adamant about centralizing Faunus population in Menagerie."

The doctor stood before a large map, slamming his pointer stick to Menagerie as he took a large drink from his coffee. It had to be coffee from the way he was moving and no one could tell Jaune otherwise. Hmm, Menagerie… Jaune always wanted to go but he never got the chance too, maybe one day.

"Now!" Oobleck pulled Jaune from his own mind. "While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events!" He sped across the room once more, moving slightly closer to the whole class. "Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!" He panned around the room for a moment.

"Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your faunus heritage, now you don't have to answer if you wish, I just wish to prove a point."

A few students hands went up, some of them lowering their heads. Just the idea upset Jaune.

"Dreadful, simply dreadful!" As he saw the numbers of hands that went up, even one was too many. "Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!" He took another sip. "I mean, just look at what happened to the White Fang! But that's a topic for another day. Now, which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorize to be the turning point in the third year of The Faunus War?"

"Yes?" Jaune didn't see how's hand went up. "Precisely!" He assumed they got the answer right, good for them. "And, who can tell me the advantage the Faunus had over General Lagune's forces?"

Jaune's hand went up.

"Yes?"

"Faunus are just the superior race." He spoke as if it was fact, and this gained the attention of a lot of people in the class.

"Elaborate."

"It's simple, Doctor, Faunus are born better than humans. They are born with everything a human, but also gain a bonus from their animal-like characteristics. Some Faunus are born with stronger limbs, the power of flight, to breathe underwater, amazing hearing, or in the case of that foolish battle, Night Vision." He explained. "Faunus is the superior race by birth, even before aura comes into account."

"It's also a lot easier to train an animal than a soldier." He heard the Oaf behind him.

"I bet you would know you rabid beast."

He heard the Oaf get up from his seat was about to speak but the spear was more than enough to shut him up. Jaune didn't even need to turn to him.

"Mr. Arc!" Oobleck yelled. "No weaponry in class, this room is for learning, not for combat."

"My apologize." He sent the spear back.

"As, your answer is correct but I believe calling Faunus superior, might be a bit… much."

"I do not think I can agree, Doctor. No human is born with amazing gifts like how Faunus are. I'm not speaking as if it's my opinion, it is just a matter of fact."

"Yes, but those gifts can also count as weaknesses, Mr. Arc. I am not saying a Faunus shouldn't be proud of who they or where they come from. I'm only trying to keep your mind open to the facts. Faunus are just as Human as Humans. Their blood is as red as everyone else, just because you are born different then someone else doesn't make your superior or inferior to another."

"… I… See." Jaune backed down. "My apologize."

"You have nothing to be sorry for Mr. Arc," The doctor smiled at the blond teen. "The only time someone should be sorry is when they haven't learned from a lesson. Speaking of that, Mr. Winchester, you'll be staying after class for additional readings."

Soon the group found the class to be over and the two teams were not walking the halls heading towards the training floor. Jaune wasn't sure why YVBL was coming but it wasn't unwelcome.

"Jeez, Jaune, got a thing for Faunus or something?" Yang asked her fellow blond.

"Another personal question?" He gave her a look.

"Hey, I'm just asking, you were the one calling them superior." She put her hands up in defense. "So I'm just wondering."

"… No, I don't have a thing for Faunus, not in the way you are saying." He gave her a slightly annoyed look. "Faunus are… mistreated for how they are born, it's as if you were born with an X on your back or in their case somewhere on their body. And they aren't allowed to do anything without backlash."

They could hear him let out a low growl.

"If they are attacked and defend themselves, they are looked at as monsters. If they do nothing, they are looked at as weak. They are seen as lower lifeforms by the weaker race and they can't do anything about it because they will be branded as evil. So, yes, I defend Faunus, because they are not allowed to defend themselves."

"… But why do you care so much?" Blake spoke up. "Not saying it isn't a good thing, I'm just wondering what give you this mindset."

His eyes glared at her for a moment.

"Very personal reasons."

"Jaune, you don't have to tell us if you don't want too." Ruby tried to calm the walking armory.

"No, better to have it open in the air. It doesn't matter if you know or not." He didn't take his eyes off of Blake. "I am the lone boy of eight children."

"That is… a lot of kids." Yang said.

"Indeed, because my father assumed he had the right to just go asleep around. So each of us has our own mother. It also happened that my Father had a thing for Faunus." He shot a glare at Yang. "All of my siblings are Faunus. My father wasn't really the type of man he wanted to raise a Faunus, just to fuck a Faunus. I did not know what my Father had done until I was fourteen where I found the many letters the mothers of my siblings sent, which then I left with my mother who wouldn't put up with a cheating man to go find those siblings. And I did mostly, five of which are safe and sound now in a house I got for them because their mothers have either died or left them, My mother stays with them and that's care of them because that is the type of woman my mother is. I took care of all the money problems and did the best to give them everything that deserves. One is safe with her mother on Menagerie, I also send her money and chat with her about once or twice a month. and the last one is still missing."

"If you're wondering how I take care of all of them because some of you are." He didn't look at anyone. "I have more weapons then I can count. I am able to disown any of them and sell them, making it easy to always have money on hand without My fathers help."

The group just stared at him.

"There, you have it, a small backstory on my life." He looked around and no one said anything after hearing the venom spit from him, he kept walking. "Good, now to the training room."

"… I'm not fighting him." Weiss spoke.

Hey, it's me… Sorry if it takes so long for me to update, I work pretty much every day. But I'm still here typing, slowly, but typing.

I'm also still shocked by how many follow this and how many of you find this after so long, it's… weird. But enjoyable. Thanks for reading and enjoy.
