The locker room was a weapon enthusiasts wet dream, I know this because I could hear ruby squealing at orgasmic levels from my stall as I put my armour on. She's three concrete walls away meaning it was a strong one! Though to get that kind of reaction I wonder what she spotted.
After getting my armour on I looked in the mirror and saw that I still refuse to wear a helmet, it squeezes my brain and I don't want storm trooper syndrome. That's when you miss all your shots and only get a wilhelm scream to mark your death. Plus a helmet ruins my hair and puffs it out.
I strapped my gun to my thigh and tightened it so it won't fall out midair yet can still be quick drawn with ease. I then reached for my case of collapsible dust arrows and slide them into the tiny slots near my shoulder blades which are hidden by the armour. I refuse to carry a quiver because as soon as that's taken from you your screwed for ammo. Better to have collapsible arrows attached at different points in your body.
After that I pulled out Nightwing, the two batons that I remade with a one handed axe mode with varying dust for different effects. One had lightning and the other has ice effects, a push of a button cause the hard light dust to manifest the elemental dust blades. The lightsaber sounds effect was just a coincidence.... a coincidence. They slipped onto the holder on my back and clicked into place.
Lastly I put on a polished Atreus over Nightwing and waited until he clicked into his spot. Now no one will notice the two batons because of the iconic shield. The gun is also obscured by its holster so no one knows what kind of heat I'm packing.
Shaking my body a little to check for any issues was the next step for suiting up. I then went to leave the locker room but spotted a beautiful red head being harassed. I walked towards them and overheard
"We should totally team up, you the reigning Champion and me the princess of the schnees. We'd be unstoppable." Spoke out a rather prissy petite girl with Snow White hair that could drape down to her calves if she undid the intricate pony tail she had it styled in.
The red head amazon just replied "yeah.... that's sounds, swell?" As if she was unsure of how to handle someone this rich. We've both had to deal with rich snobs over the years since attaining victory (her more than me) but a schnee is a cut above that.
So to save this damsel I cut in with a cheery tone "hello ladies! Are you discussing teams? Would you like to join mine?" But all I was met with was a grunt from the weiss Queen.
Without even looking me in the eye she began monologuing/ berating "do you even know who this is? That's Pyrrha Nikos! Three time champion of the Mistral youth Tournament! The lady centurion! Argus' Argonaut! The invincible girl! What makes you think she'd team up with you?"
I answered her question with another question "invincible? Last I heard she lost to some guy so why is she called invincible?"
Again Weiss guffawed with looking at me closely. "That was clearly a staged act! The super soldier Arc was obviously buying his way through. That high grade hand cannon of his that even the Atlas military couldn't produce AND that physics defying shield. It was fake news~. Plus I heard that the guy practically spat on everyone who wanted to establish a connection with him so he was probably paid by the tournament sponsor to win so Pyrrha couldn't establish a record yet he never came back the next year. Honestly how could you not know something so simple?!"
She ranted while Pyrrha had an amused glint in her eye that continued to grow as she spoke. "Oh really? And what proof do you have off this?" I questioned.
"Proof? Proof! The boy hasn't even shown up for four years. No one even remembers his name anymore so that's why Pyrrha is still the invincible girl".
"I see~ well then care to introduce yourself miss?" I said politely.
She turned and failed to hide her eye roll but her years of etiquette training made her introduction automatic. "My name is Weiss Schnee, Heiress to the Honourable Schnee family and SDC. And you are?" She replies with hidden mockery so I decided to snap her out of it.
" hello my names Jaune Arc, a champion of the Mistral youth tournament! The super Soldier! The Spartan! The rich kid who is presumed to have paid to win~."
As she heard my introduction I could have sworn I heard a cold win blow through the lockers. Followed by a mechanical noise as Weiss finally began to look up at me while sweating. She did basically insult my achievements to my face. Her lips were quivering as if she was about to apologise but her noble bravado hasn't been beaten out of her yet so she stood there processing what her next move should be.
So I continued "what makes me think she should be on my team? Well for a starters we've fought each other multiple times, we already have a good rapport with each other and the fact that she's my girlfriend."
The freezing intensified around her while Pyrrha was grinning like the grinch to contain her mirth. She may have met more douchebags but she can never handle them like I can.
"Well I assume those reasons should prove valid enough for you Miss Schnee. If you'll excuse me I'll be going to the meeting area." Before I left I walked upto Pyrrha and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips before walking away.
Pyrrha was considering leaving Weiss but now she wants to see her next reaction to this information. "Eh?" was all that Weiss managed to squeak out before she began to reprocess.
Meanwhile as I made my way down the corridor I felt a gaze containing immense lust aimed near me. I turned around and spotted Ruby drilling a hole in my back. She blitzed infront of me and grabbed my hands. "I will give you my first born if you give me those weapons. For an inspection of course".
I pulled my hands away "I'm not Rumpelstiltskin Ruby! You can just watch them in action like everyone else. Who knows? If we're on the same team I'll even let you examine them in our dorm."
Her long bangs covered her eyes and I grew worried that I had gained a yandere. "Really?" She asked in a whisper to which I responded with an of course. Her gaze locked with mine and I watched her silver eyes leak a little fire. She shouldn't be doing that this early!!!!!
"Come on we have to get there now! I have to be on your team!" She squealed as she gripped me and we vanished into a storm of rose petals. Yang who walking towards us with a smoothie in her mouth let the straw pop out with a *plock*. " I didn't know she could take other people with her?!?"
She then began running towards the testing grounds. Ozpin and Glynda were already waiting there but both raised their eyebrows when me and ruby appeared. My senses are going haywire because I wasn't prepared to be discombobulated into rose petals. As I tried to regain my senses and not fall on my face Ozpin had began to finish his speech.
Everyone had already drawn their weapons, they were being shot into the air via a springboard accompanied by the noise of a t-shirt cannon being shot. I think I saw Blake and Pyrrha looking at me with worry while Yang was discreetly checking for side effects of rose travel through her shades.
When I was just about to fully regain myself I felt the ground destabilise beneath me followed by G-force and loss of solid mass beneath me. I voiced out a "Frack!!!!" Like I was the main man.
I already felt like I was gonna be sick, on instinct I began to pump aura through my body to get myself back in shape. A habit id built up over the years to keep me alive. When I fully zoned in I realised my momentum was still carrying me forward.
I thought fast and threw Atreus at a large tree, it bounced off and returned under my feet. I grabbed on with my arms and hooked my legs around it before rolling to break my momentum. After I felt myself begin to plummet I popped the shield back on before pulling out Nightwing.
*schwing* I ignited the two axes and stabbed them into a tree. The blades carved through the tree slowing me down until I eventually reached the ground with any issue. I pulled the axes free and switched them off before re holstering them.
Looking around I was greeted with a wide forest, relic is in the north? I don't have a clue right now so I just took of jogging in a random direction. Two minutes of sprinting took me into an open plane where several beowolves began to exit from the nearby tree lines and surround me.
I let them get close as I planned out my next move, I smirked and thought of a move I saw in Red vs Blue.... sort off.
When they were all in range I pushed my calculations to the limit to make sure that this wouldn't kill me but would kill all of them. After all the Grimm had formed a circle around me I tossed Atreus as had as I could causing it to bounce off one.
Within the blink of an eye I pulled out Cayde-6 and fired a shot at what I pray is the correct angle. *bwip bwip bwip bwip bwip bwip bwip bwip....ffffssshhhhh*.
The bullet I fired off hit Atreus causing both the shield and the bullet to ricochet. Atreus would bounce of another Grimm causing damaged before bouncing to the next angle where the bullet should be. This would repeat until the bullet ran out of momentum. That noise was the bullet bouncing into the next target followed by all the Grimm turning to ash in the wind. I had the idea from watching North Dakota ricochet shots in rvb with the bubble shield.
I held Cayde-6 up to my nose and stared at the smoking barrel. I didn't feel the need to inhale the fumes because I have a girlfriend to touch me tonight~.
I walked towards were Atreus landed to pick him up As I reached for him I heard the wind being cut so I twisted one of my shoulders and swung my other hand only to catch a spear. Infinity war style~
I looked at a rustling bush and was greeted with my slightly flushed girlfriend. "That shot was one of the sexiest things I've ever seen you do. So glad I got that on scroll~".
"Hello partner, fancy way to greet your boyfriend don't ya think?" I replied shaking her spear before tossing it back to her. She pouted before twirling it back into its holster and marching upto me.
" just checking if your still sharp, you didn't look so fresh before we launched".
"You try being discombobulated into flower petals and be immediately fine afterwards" I complained as we made our way towards were I think the cave is. Oh well, one deathstalker isn't anything new.
Meanwhile up on the cliff Glynda dropped her riding crop as she replayed my god shot while Ozpin just stared at it. She broke out and said "even james and his semblance wouldn't be able to make a shot like that!"
Ozpin sipped from his mug before saying "it's shaping up to be quite the year".
