– Beacon Academy: Dance hall –
Jaune was grinning at the dance hall as he had Baruka and some of his lighter units of the archery division helping with decorations. It will be a night to remember as the school readied itself for the dance before preliminaries began in two days.
He was grinning at knowing Cinder was counting on Neo being free and wanting to free Roman. An angle the thief with her new S ranked strength was more than willing to use to her advantage against Cinder.
Neo had approached Cinder and her two lackeys at the beginning of dance week and brought them up to their made up speed, using a cover story she made using her original disguise to get close to us.
She told them that JNPR and RWBY were equal in strength to most B ranked huntsman and that Jaune and Pyrrha were solid A ranks. Hence why they were able to fight and take down Adam.
Cinder nods and concedes that point and asks what they can do.
Neo goads them to continue their virus plan as Neo has been monitoring the school security for weeks now and nothing has alerted the champions of the light to their presence in school. Cinder nods and has the plan begin to unfold as she gets the disc from Watts ready to upload into the cities servers.
Neo even volunteers to help Cinder on the mission to keep her hidden from guards and to avoid alerting the entire Atlas fleet stationed in the school.
Cinder was ready to destroy any guards in her way, but agreed that tipping the security and the headmasters to someone messing with their computers would be a bad move. Especially when considering how powerful each headmaster was. And there were two of them at the academy at the moment!
She played it carefully.
And the night of the virus went off without a hitch.
However a small change was made.
As Cinder, with Neos illusion and the thief herself aiding the false maiden, were leaving the computer tower, Neo dropped a flash drive into a computer desks shadow. Where a light eye opened up and Iron grabbed it.
He put it into the right computer and an isolation and virus destruction program was put in place.
And the final nail in the virus plans coffin, was where a false virus program would feed fake data to Cinder during her time in Beacon until her plan was revealed.
Meanwhile the new program would do it's work to derail Cinders plans for the school and its visiting robot army from Atlas.
At the dance Cinder and Neo come in their dresses.
Cinder in her fancy black one, Neo in her sheep faunus disguise and a nice pink background ice cream girl themed dress. It had thick furls on the sleeves, but not in an annoying or overdone way, they stopped at her elbows where she had on white elbow length gloves, her leggings were half brown and half pink, with the dress reaching knee length. Her heels were her iconic boots that matched it pretty well in the grand scheme of her motif and design.
Neo was secretly hoping to get a dance with Jaune in making it be a way to "know the target" in case Cinder and her team ask questions about why she would want to dance with the main threat.
Speaking of said target.
What Neo was after the most was currently on the dance floor being admired by a very happy Pyrrha, who was enjoying a wonderful energetic couples dance as they swayed and sashayed across the floor to the music playing at that moment.
– Back at the start of the dance –
Pyrrha and Jaune went as an official couple to the dance to make sure people knew they were dating. But also to keep up appearances to other spies Neo may have missed, so that Cinder and her agents were none the wiser to their knowledge of her plans.
As the ball got underway Jaune was enjoying his flexible tuxedo which was hiding none of his lean and ripped body muscle!
Much to the blushing faces of many girls there. And a few guys.
Pyrrha was enjoying hugging Jaunes arm closely and admiring his slicked back hair to give him a more regal prince vibe. She sighed in happiness as she followed Jaune to the dance floor past their fellow relationship members.
Jaune admired each girl as they went past them.
Weiss was doing final checks on the decorations as she turned to him, with a shy smile and large blush she dips her knees slightly to show her deep blue ice themed heels, her deep winter blue dress that had a wonderful snow storm design going down the sides. And the snowflakes and flurries designing the front and back were genius. She has her ring on and her wrists had weapon storage magic bracelets on them. In case Cinder smelled something funky and tried something. But thankfully they fit all the weapons and most of their crews armor. It was interesting fro Jaune to note that Weiss had her ring on her ring finger these days, but to be honest… he will probably propose to her after this whole war is over alongside his other girlfriends to make things official. After all it wouldn't do to keep 5 beautiful ladies waiting.
Yang was checking on the DJ station and got done with giving the DJ's a thumbs up as the pair of robot helmet wearing DJ's got to work on the mix for opening the dance floor. Yang waves with a large smile at Jaune and Pyrrha and Jaune had to whistle in appreciation of Yangs dress. She had chosen a bright yellow Qi Pao dress with a nice slit of the side showing off her leg to mid thigh, black heels to go with it, and her name in mistralian characters on the back with a dragon symbol dancing over her dress from front to back. She had her hair back in a pony tail to really bring the ensemble together. Her bangle was being worn proudly on her arm showing how well it went with her dress and how much she loves the gift Jaune had given her. The fact that it popped against her and went with her eyes and hair was a nice bonus.
Velvet was in a wonderful glitter black cocktail slim fit dress. It fit her wonderfully and she was very proud of how her mom did in helping her make sure it hugged her curves. Her feet were on full display in roman strap sandals that left her long toes out and showing off her black nail polish for anyone to see. And Jaune saw them and remembered all the feet fun they have had with them and blushed. Velvet saw the look and sheepishly smiled at him with a small wave and a grin of enjoyment from his attention on her. She wore the anklet proudly on her right ankle to keep its buffs and to show Jaune she still treasures it.
And finally looking down at Pyrrha, who was still happy on his arm. He was happy to see Pyrrha enjoy the choker he got her for a boosting accessory with her bright red party dress as she had her hair down and flowing freely. Her red dress was backless and was held by some very good thin straps that made sure it wouldn't fall off her shoulders. She was hugging Jaunes arm between her breasts and was very happy with the deal she made with the girls.
Jaune was being openly stared at by everyone from their guild and even Ironwood was grinning at the up and coming pride of Beacon.
Ironwood had done extensive research on the hopeful students and was shocked to see a student who had placed last in combat class for nearly 2-3 months in a row was suddenly top of his grade and even out doing 3rd and 4th year students. He was tempted to poach him from Ozpin and put him in his specialist program. But he knew he had no claims for that here legally thanks to this being Vale instead of Atlas.
The dance began and Jaune opened with a nice tango dance with Pyrrha. They got so into it that soon Pyrrhas leg was around Jaunes hip in a very sensual and sexually charged dip of the dance for their final dip and flourish to the end of it.
Yang had been able to enjoy a nice energy filled K pop dance with Jaune and they both had some awesome flips, kicks, and some paired high energy partner moves that ended with Jaune doing the spilts behind Yang while she was balanced on her feet while bending backwards nearly in half facing Jaune at eye level.
The whole school was dumbfounded at that one.
Sun and Neptune who they had met the week before with the haven students arriving, were flabbergasted as Blake had taken up Sun on his offer for a dance and was enjoying seeing them have their mouths hanging open like fish.
Neptune gave up trying to dance at all after that, while Velvet took the next dance with Jaune in a wonderful slow dance to a romantic song where they did twirls, dips, spins, and such to their own little world on the dance floor.
After that dance Weiss came up and Jaune did an amazing high level waltz with her that had her breathing hard alongside him and made sure they were the center of attention to the whole school who had only the basic three step waltz in many of their skill sets.
After the four main opening dances were completed for Jaune many more people began to dance to the random mix for the ball to get underway.
They had a blast bonding with their guild, and with Neo getting two dances in with Jaune to enjoy having him to herself for a bit thanks to the other girls.
Of course Jaune had to do another dance minimum with each of his girlfriends for Neo to have those two back to back dances for herself.
The night ended with an amazing promise for the tournament as the prelims would begin the next day.
That night Ozpin came up to Ironwood with a proposal, one that had the general sputtering but he agreed to it as Ozpin played into the generals pride for his nation and his troops. Soon an interesting challenge was added to the Vytal festival that would make for a fun battle for all involved.
– Beacon Academy: Vytal coliseum –
Jaune looks around as his team enters the arena set for them. It was a hard fought preliminary round. But they made it through both the preliminary round and the follow up round for guild qualifications for a tournament that the council found in the old rules to exploit and try to ruin the guilds reputation. But with their place secured despite the councils efforts, they entered the arena proper with their first opponent chosen from Atlas.
As they were a guild they were requested by Ozpin to show their strength against an atlas guild.
When revealed who they were fighting, Jaune was ready for his teams fight against them. While his team and guild mates were nervous given what guild they were set up to fight.
While Ironwood was fuming at this once he realized he had been played.
- Flashback: Ozpins office during prelims -
Ironwood slams his hand onto Ozpins desk, "You want to do what with my guild?!"
Ozpin calmly sips his coffee and answers his fellow headmaster, "Have your guild battle my guild. Your Specialtists against my Hunters. It should be a good show."
Ironwood was growling as he points at Ozpin with anger, "You said we would do a match against your Hunter guild and my Specialist guild. But you promised it would be a champion ship match!"
Ozpin let Ironwood vent before finishing his coffee and saying, "Well yes. But to earn the championship match spot, one must win that privilege. No? After all what would one say to the great Ironwood, headmaster of Atlas academy, and general of the atlas forces? If he pouted and whined like a child all because his guild had to go through the tournament against children?"
Ironwood raised his hand in anger again ready to punch the desk, but he lowered it with a harsh exhale as he realized he had walked right into Ozpins hands thanks to his lack of sleep over getting to the tournament on time with his army, and for not thinking through how Ozpin worded the proposal.
He had no one to blame but himself. With a small glare he says, "Fine. But how will we play this out?"
Ozpin grins as he goes, "I had an order placed on the specialists to see how well they are trained. And to see how well they are as a team as well. Let's see this play out. Especially since I have made it to where your guild, will battle our guild, with the various teams in each round."
General Ironwood goes stiff at that arrangement as he glares at Ozpin and narrows his eyes, "So you mean to tell me that the guild matches are literally just our guilds going at each other with various teams of said guilds… for the whole tournament section of the guilds?"
Ozpin smiles as he sips his coffee before answering with, "Why yes! After all Vale has only one guild in place at the moment, while Atlas has only had one guild survive the test of time! So of course it is technically a guild versus guild tournament between two guilds. Why?"
Ironwood found his hands so interesting at this one moment that he was staring at them hard enough to hear his bones in his real hand creak, while his metal hand actually had dents forming in his palms. He raises his face with red cheeks and anger filling his eyes and was about to shoot Ozpin, but knew it would serve very little given how Ozpin has grown more powerful and could probably block the bullets.
So instead he shot at Ozpin with the only ammo he knew the Wizard could not block.
He opened his mouth and let loose the longest and strongest yell filled curse list that would make sailors blush, and porn stars go pale from the explicitives used by the normally stoic General.
- After Prelims -
Ironwood was on his knees with many bruises and whip marks from one very angry and seething Glynda goodwitch who was giving him, a now hour long, lecture about calmness, reputation for the schools, and how headmasters do not use such language for a solid 15 minutes. Especially language loud enough to break through the walls of Ozpins tower to be heard all the way at the coliseum by families and visitors alike.
Ironwood had now rebuff while Ozpin was cleaning up his spilled coffee that went flying from the force of the Generals yelling and the sheer volume he used.
With a good natured chuckle he turned to his window to see the matches play out on the holoscreen he set up there to enjoy the battles to come.
- In the Coliseum -
Jaune was checking his opening teams armor and weapons one more time before they went out there to fight off the first round.
Team SLVR stood there nervous but ready to take on the legendary Guild of Atlas that has endured the closing of so many guilds and the support of their military and council.
Jaune gives them a pep talk before they head out, "Hey let's be honest. You guys are young, fresh first years, and promising hunters. You are also still students, going up against seasoned Hunters who have seen at least 5-8 years more combat and training than we have. So to be honest the odds are stacked against you."
Lycan, "Gee thanks!"
Jaune nods and simply says, "You're welcome. But let's be honest for our end. We have fought more Grimm, more dangers, and even more powerful foes than many of the Specialists have in all their active careers! We have fought S ranked Grimm! We have fought off S ranked danger criminals in my dungeons! You guys are all within the S ranked strength of many Hunter evaluation forms from any kingdom!"
SLVR are all smiling at this praise and acknowledgment of their growth as Jaune gives them the final push, "And I am a SSS ranked threat! You guys were able to tire me out and even fought against me and my two main generals at once! If that isn't something to be impressed and proud of? I don't know what is then! So what are you going to do when you get out there?"
SLVR all yell out, "Win!"
Jaune nods and yells right back, "YOU'RE OUM DAMNED RIGHT!!!"
SLVR charges out with a battle cry into the battlefield as the hunters guild is announced with the cheers of the audience urging them on.
Atlas is announced shortly after with clapping and cheering on their side as well.
Jaune quickly rejoins his guild and sits between Weiss and Pyrrha. Pyrrha due to him wanting her take on skills and abilities used, while Weiss for supporting her emotionally since they were fighting her sisters guild.
Weiss holds his hand in thanks for his emotional support as the announcers of Oobleck and Port talk about the field changes and the environment simulator for each section.
As she does so and Pyrrha focuses on the field with the rest of their guild mates all around them, Weiss gets a call from her father. She answers it with a groan as she goes to her business mode face.
Her father appears on screen and goes, "Aw Weiss! Good to see you are still with that failure guild from Vale!"
Weiss grunts but keeps her disdain from showing on her face as she asnwers back, "Yes Father and they have made leaps and bounds! We are already recognized as a B ranked Guild to the Vale kingdom and are about to be evaluated through this tournament to see if we can be recognized for A rank quests!"
Jacques sniffs haughtily as he then says, "Ah yes, impressive for a guild founded by a no name no skill hunter who according to school records was barely a D ranked fighter at the beginning of this year! And now it says he is B? I doubt he is actually that strong, I would place him at C rank at best… But if he is the one you say is worthy to lead I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as his grades are all A's and A+'s. However I won't acknowledge him as a possible fiance for you Weiss! You have a marriage candidate already placed! So if you care to hold onto your position as heiress you will do as I-!"
Weiss raises a hand and stops Jacques from continuing, "First is our deal still on? Where if my team, now guild, wins the Vytal tournament then we can continue on with our training and I hold onto my title for the SDC? And if I lose I have to choose between the two titles and can't have both?"
Jacgues nods with a smug grin as he goes into an amendment to his previous ultimatum, "Yes, your guild will need to win, but I am willing to compromise, how about this, there are three rounds to this tournament, if your guild wins one round, you keep on your dream as a huntress and I will say nothing about it. But if they ONLY win the one round and lose the other two you must give up your SDC rights to Whitely your younger brother. If your guild wins two rounds, then you can keep your huntress dream and your title as heiress, but must give up 49% of company control to Whitely as your co partner. And if your guild wins all three rounds you continue your huntress job and your heiress title with no other compromises or separation of duties. How does that sound?"
Weiss nods before getting an internal evil grin, "Tell you what father, for the first round of teams only we keep it like that, however for the doubles round, you can keep your Whitely inclusion but you must also back out of the company being relegated to a part time board committee member. Sound fair?"
Jacques smirks to himself as he sees his daughter is digging for more leverage and bluffing power to make him think twice, but in poker he was always the winner. (Mostly cause he had the money to go until he won a jackpot.) So he nodded.
Weiss continued on to the third round win, "And when it is the final round of Guild master versus guild master, if we win that round you not only keep me as I am a huntress and Heiress to the SDC, but you resign! Completely out of the company and its practices for the foreseeable future and allow me to begin implementing changes while I am studying here at my academy. In return? I lose the final, round then I will become your precious little puppet, and give up 49% to Whitely and 35% of my remaining share of the company to you, so you can continue to be involved with its development. Sound fair?"
Jacques was over the moon at this deal and readily nods. Weiss hangs up the call with a, "It's a deal then. Contract coming in."
And while he signs it and marks it he is looking forward to the future as he sees the match is about to get under way, and he was already looking at the money he stood to win from Weiss giving him continued shares and control of the SDC once her team loses these next three rounds.
- Arena battlefield-
SLVR waits as the field pops up and sees with glee, a ruined city space similar to Mountain Glenn.
The Specialist team consisting of, Elm, Marrow, Vine, and Harriet, all look at this field and scoff at the unoriginality and are talking about how they will mop the floor with academy first year students. The match begins with a large bellowing "BEGIN!" coome from Port in the commentary box.
The Specialists go into formation and prepare themselves for the usual academy student strategy of splitting up either into singles or doubles. Only to blink and lose sight of team SLVR as Ragora cast an illusion spell using her dark magic abilities.
The Specialists all spread out and ready their abilities and weapons to prepare for the incoming attack from the Academy students.
However as they ready themselves to use their training to find them they suddenly see a floating purple dragon head appear in front of them and shoot out a large dark fireball.
The operatives scatter and Marrow turns to freeze the head in place to give them a chance to fight it, only to see it is no longer there. With shock Marrow is hit from all sides from what feels like, arrows, hot and cold blades, claws, and shotgun blasts.
His aura drops quickly as his team mates all turn to see Marrow being hit by what appears to be colored gusts of air coming at him from random spots in the air.
Vine goes to help him only to receive a fireball right to the face from Ragora's familiar.
Harriet goes to run towards Marrow only to find her feet frozen from Simin's ice blades he threw at her landing spot when she dodged the opening fireball.
And Elm had tried to bring up her weapon Timber only to find a pair of claw daggers jamming the holster and keeping her from drawing the hammer.
Marrows Aura continues to drop as his team tries to solve their situations and he is suddenly knocked out by a harsh explosion of lava from a large claymore that landed between his legs after the harsh beating he took from all of his invisible assailants.
Marrow's Aura ends up at 5% as the buzzer sounds out signaling his elimination.
The specialists were all shocked right as Ragora's illusion spell wore off and their team was revealed. And they were not letting their shocked opponents rest or process how they were a member down.
Lycan was coming at Elm, Ragora and her familiar were coming at Harriet, and Simin and Vivian were flying at Vine with launching all kinds of long range attacks at him.
Lycan drop kicks into Elm right as she freed her hammer from her holster. She managed to avoid being pushed to her back by using her semblance to grip the ground. Lycan looked shocked but then grinned in a feral way.
He uses the now unmoving specialist to leap off her like a spring board and summoned 10 aura clones around him. Elm readied her hammer in rocket mode and let lose a salvo. Lycan had 4 clones intercept the 4 missiles she used. Each explosion made Elm flinch a bit as she knew she was needing to change her plan with a new smokescreen covering her opponent due to her lack of foresight.
She ran a bit to get out from under the landing area. Only to get a pair of clawed gauntlets to her back and cutting hard into her aura. She stumbles and turns only to see two dissipating clones as Lycan is flying at her with his claws out in a wide X slash. She raises her hammer and takes the blows.
Or she would if Lycan hadn't summoned a pair of new clones to grab his lifted arms and flip him up and over behind Elm. Elm turns with a grunt to face Lycan, only to feel 4 pairs of arms suddenly around her body holding her from turning. Looking down she sees 4 rock clones now holding her close.
Lycan grins again and with a manic gleam he pulls out all his claws and rushes at Elm who was just now breaking through the statues. He summons 10 clones again in a steady stream each one doing a full claw of damage to the powerful fighter. Elm grunts as 10 slashes hit her right as she had freed her upper body. She readies her hammer for a blind swing as she feels her aura reaching critical levels at barely 25% remaining. Only for her hammer to be kicked from her hands by Lycan. Her grip was not steady based on her wild swing when she panicked on that one.
She gasps as she feels 25 hits follow up that kick and chip away at her aura until she was down to 3% and a buzzer rang out as the pain quickly piled up and wiped her out.
Lycan chuckled and said, "Thanks for the fight! That was fun going all out against an atlas specialist! Looking forward to beating the rest of you guys!"
Elm goes unconscious at that while she thought, He was going all out from the get go?! Damn it… I need to up my training… I've gotten… lax…
With a final flutter her eyes close as her body tries to recover from the aura loss and the beat down.
- Coliseum Audience -
Everyone in the stands of Atlas were silent as they saw what should have been a one sided beat down quickly becoming a massacre for their guild.
The guild that has endured for decades, that has had military funding, training, supplies, and even the councils backing. Was losing to a guild of first and second year teams.
None were more shocked than Jacques Schnee and General Ironwood. The first who was seething at his first betting round with his daughter was looking like his loss. And the second who is busy grilling Ozpin on what kind of training he has been putting his students through. Ozpin cheekily grinned and said the one thing Ironwood could never let go for the next few years, "Magic!"
Ozpin even let out a pair of jazz hands with his normally stoic voice and face. This made Glynda cough/laugh into her clipboard, while Ironwood had a disbelieving face with jaw drop in udder confusion that would have been perfect for many movie scenes.
All Ironwood said next was, "You old coffee addicted FOSSIL!!"
The Vale audience was cheering on their local guild and were even making plans to enroll their kids in it or see if they could start their own guild to give the city more protection in the future against Grimm threats.
For now though everyone, especially the Hunter Guild members, were simply happy to see such a one sided match erupting.
- Arena -
Harriet had been able to break free from the ice her feet had been stuck in, only to see Ragora flying at her while shooting some shots with her familiar adding to the salvo. Harriet smirked and ran at her super speed around each blast and bullet.
Ragora nodded to her dragon and began chanting. While her familiar kept Harriet at bay.
Harriet saw Ragora weaving some sort of glyph in the air and shrugged as she knew the weakness of glyph users was a decent charge up time, and she could run circles around that dragon head. She turns to rush the girl right as Ragora shocks her by finishing her spell.
Ragora shouts out, "Darkness travel!"
Suddenly she and her familiar are gone as they dive into what seems to be their own shadows. Harriet stumbles in her running trying to track them while making sure her exo suit was ready. Only to suddenly get blasted from a random rock formation not 5 ft behind her. She turns in time to see the familiars snout disappearing back into the rocks shadow. She goes to punch it only to destroy the rock and the shadow it went into.
She grits her teeth in frustration as she looks around knowing this kind of opponent was a bad match for her.
She plays a game of tag with the familiar for another minute before she gasps as she realizes she hasn't seen the girl for a solid minute. She endures two more blasts while trying to find the summoner and she notices a glyph glow coming from a tall formation of ruined buildings.
She runs through a large salvo of the dragon head shooting at her from all over the ruins dodging about 80% of the blasts, the rest that hit were glancing blows or concussive damage.
She reaches Ragora with a large grin as she rears up with a large punch ready and her lightning arcing behind her ready to punch out Ragoras lights. Only for her to pale to the skin tone of a schnee as she sees not one, not two, not even three, but four glyph symbols with strange rotating circles of energy around each one.
Ragora tips her witch hat towards Harriet as she swings a purple metallic staff with a strong glowing purple gem on top at Harriet.
The specialist only had time to say, "Welp… this is going to su-"
Before being blasted away by the first magic circle using a huge beam of energy to cook her aura down to 72% from the 87% she had left, then the second one unleashed around 50 spears of darkness taking her down to 42%, the third launched 100 shadow arrows that all seemed to auto track her when she stumbled into a speed induced run but couldn't out run them, taking her down to 18%, and the final one was a shadow beam that hit her dragon head.
Harriet was wondering about that before the dragon head doubled in size, teleported in front of her and unleashed a 1 minute long shadow flame breath attack point blank into her face. When it stopped Harriet was now char broiled, covered in painful looking burns and soot, and her aura was barely holding on at 2% buzzing her out. She let out a large cloud of smoke from her mouth and fell back unconscious from the burning she endured.
Ragora humphed and put her staff into its travel mode book form and under her hat again.
She looks over to see the final member Vine was giving Simin and Vivian a run for their money. But only thanks to him going all out and his aura being down to 56% already from constant use of his vine semblance and their powerful glancing blows against him.
Vine was panting hard, sweating buckets, and pushing his vine control to its limits doing stunts that even spider man would call BS. He landed and got ready to shoot out more vines again to hopefully recover his weapon. It had been knocked out of his hands and he had no time to recover it with a long range archer girl and a mid range elemental using boy attacking him constantly!
Seriously! They were first years! How were they pushing him?! He is a seasoned veteran of the field! They should not be pushing him so hard!
As he thought that he flinched as he noticed that he had swung hastily without noticing a sudden ice wall in front of his path. He managed to shoot out more vines to go over it, only to see a bunch of floating boulders surrounded by black glyphs. He paled as he saw a grinning Vivian and Simin on a tower nearby. Vivian launched her arrow and it had a blue glyph around it that landed on the Ice wall behind him.
Vine was curious what was happening until the boulders all followed the arrow. He had one thought, I demand a vacation after this bullsh-!
Before all 50 boulders buried him under a mountain of stone.
To add to the damage and trauma Simin decided to use his earth magic and further triple the weight of large mountain. Vine shot out of the mound of stone right as they tripled in weight so he was only slightly more battered.
He landed on a nearby pillar where he gathered his wits and took in his surroundings. He also noticed his aura was barely holding on at 31%.
He sees his weapon lying nearby and goes to grab it, only for Lycan to come in and cut through his aura vines while roaring. He turns to another direction only to see Ragora with three new magic circles charged up and her familiar mere feet away from him charging a blast, and he sees Simin and Vivian cover his other two flanks. He looks to the screen and sees his comrades were all in single digits. Knowing they had been beaten he sighs and throws his hands up with a shrug, admitting that there was no way to win now.
Soon enough the buzzer rings out signifying that the match had ended and that the hunters took the lead.
Atlas booed or groaned in their side while Vale was cheering like mad at this achievement.
Jacques was fuming and mumbling under his breath but knew he still had a chance with the next two rounds to at least keep some control of his empire.
Weiss humphed in pride as she looked at the next rounds line up tomorrow and was looking forward to it.
She was ready to enjoy fighting side by side with her chosen partner who would fight in the next round, as it was important to her and towards proving she has what it takes to be strong in the field and to support her friends. She was led off with her friends to celebrate their preliminary round victory of the guild tournament as they only half paid attention to the rest of the fights. While saved on her scroll was the doubles match coming up.
Hunters Guild versus Specialist Guild, Doubles match.
Hunters representatives: Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos.
Specialists representatives: Ebi Clover and Winter Schnee.
