Jaune wake up with his eyes is still a little bit puffy and he is frankly exhausted from all the crying he did last night.
He looks out of the window and see the sun rise brightly but he cannot help but feel tired, Especially knowing what would happen when they eat breakfast.
As Jaune got up from the bed he looks at himself on the mirror and saw a disheveled looking version of himself with his hair all over the place and eyes puffy from crying.
He sigh as he look at himself and rub his eyes hoping that it would make the puffiness goes away.
he then saw that the puffiness on his eyes become even worse from him rubbing it, he stop looking himself in the mirror and goes to the toilet to clean himself up.
While he brush his teeth he cannot help but wonder on how would his father would tell him what would bassically amout to the ending of his own son's dream, On how he would stop training him.
His eyes glisten with tears as he blink it away not wanting to worry his family even more.
Jaune then wash his face getting rid of all the tears stain and freshen up his face, he look at himself in the mirror he saw a less disheveled looking reflection of himself than before.
As he look at his bedhair he chuckled and try to fix it as best as he can.
'Come on Jaune, You cannot be more of a disappointment than you already are! Don't let them be even more disappointed in you!'
10 minutes had passed and Jaune walks down the stairs when he arrive at the kitchen, he saw his mother preparing to cook breakfast and he couldn't help but feel disappointed at himself as he look at his mother's red eye from what he could guess she crying.
He try to ignore his mother sad eyes that looks at him while he walk up to her.
"Let me help cook the breakfast mom!" Jaune offered to his mother while he position himself beside her.
Luna looks at her son with sadness before she nood and offered him to help her mix the pancake batter.
In the inside, she is wondering on how devastated her son is going to be when his father tell him the news of the ending of his training.
"You can help me mix the batter Jaune while i fry the bacon and eggs"
Jaune mix the pancake batter he cannot help but feel depressed by the thought of the ending of his training.
As Luna cook the back she sees her son mindlessly mix the batter, Luna sigh as she wonder why Jaune couldn't be as good at fighting compare to how excellent he was at doing housework.
Almost 20 minutes had passed and Jaune is currently plating the food on the dinner table when he sees the rest of the family coming downstairs with Saphron carrying the twins.
Artoria as pirm and proper as she always has been, she is always a mess when she woke up, her hair is all over the place and she even got a little bit of drool stain on her cheeks. Jaune chuckles at the sight of her appearance.
Modred suprisingly is the most clean out of them, Her hair is tied to a messy pony tail but the rest of her appearance is clean with her shorts and shirt combo she is wearing.
Jeanne the ever cute angel she is now wearing her pajamas with a cute tilt on her head while she looks at the food on the table.
Meanwhile his father is wearing a shirt and pants and he looks at Jaune with a sad looks on his eyes.
As they all sit down and eat Jaune couldn't help but feel scared on when his father is going to tell him the news.
"Jaune you made the pancakes right!" An excited Modred ask him ash she ate the pancake with gusto.
Jaune smiled lovingly as the family ate the food that he made in pleasure.
"Yes Modred i made the pancake.. is it good?"
"Its the best pancake i had ever made Jaune! You should make this everyday!" Modred told Jaune as she have her mouth full with food.
"Modred swallow the food first before you talk. And Jaune the Pancake is delicious." Atoria told Jaune calmly while modred look at her in annoyance.
"Artoria stop eating all the food! Leave some for us!" Modred reach over the table to take a slice of pancake but Artoria is faster than she is. Artoria is o her 3th serving of breakfast.
Jaune smiled lovingly as he looks at his family banter and talk while eating breakfast but he can see that his father is staying silent as he ate.
Jaune prepare himself as he sees his father opening his mouth and talk.
"Jaune... i have to tell you something.." As his father talk the whole family can see the tension in the room as his father looks at him straight in the eyes.
The whole table is silent as his father looks at him waiting for his reply.
"What is the news dad?" Jaune hope that he hide the sadness in his voice well.
The whole family is waiting for Miles to answer Jaune for a few tense second before his father open his mouth.
"I...I am stopping your training Jaune" as his father speak that words the whole table is silent before it descend into chaos.
"You can't do that!"
"What... dad what are you saying?"
"Dad.... please tell us you're joking now"
As the table descend into chaos his father looks at him sadly and is waiting for his answer. As jaune open his mouth the whole family is waiting for his answer to the news.
"O...okay dad... i.... i understand.." jaune look down at the plate as even though he prepare himself for this. Its so much worse than he expected.
Saphron looks at Jaune who is holding back his tears as he look down at his plate. She cannot help but look at her father in anger from what he did to her little brother. She then looks at her little brother before she talks to him gently. "Jaune.. are you sure you want to do this?" She herself is holding back her own tears from looking at her own brother.
Jaune calm himself down the best he can before replying to her. "Its okay.. i... i understand why he stop training me... i..." Jaune couldn't finish his sentence before he got up from the sit and and run out of the house.
As his older sisters and jeanne get up and tried to catch up to Jaune their father stop them.
"Don't... he need space right now.. he need to calm down first" Miles stop them and he couldn't help but sigh as his daughters turn the heads and glare at him.
"You....you....." Modred face is red in anger on why would her own father even dare to destroy her little brother dream.
Saphron mouth open before she close it and calm herself down before she says something she would regret, She then turn her head to look at her mother who stays silent all this time.
"Mom... did you know?"
Luna stays silent for a moment before she open her mouth to speak. "Yes... your father told me last night..." she then let out tired sigh that seems to age her up a few years.
Saphron look at her mother in disappointment on why she would even let her dad to even do this to her brother before she looks back to her father.
"You cannot do this, dad.. being a huntsman is his dream..." she told her father calmly while trying her best to calm down the anger that is churning inside of her.
Artoria looks ar her Father in fustration on how bluntly he told Jaune about the news because she expected for him to at least be gentle about it. While jeanne looks guilty and the 2 twins sit down on the chair looking lost on what had happened.
Jeanne couldn't help but feel that she brought this upon her brother.
"I know... i know that being a huntsman in his dream... but he is simply not suited to be one.. in the 3 years i trained him daily he never once have show any result of the training." This is the first time Saphron in her 13 years of life had ever seen her father looks so solemn before.
"If he showed atleast an ounce of skill, i would gladly train him more, Saphron. Whenever i see him hold the sword or any weapons.... he looks like he is trapped...confined... like its not what he supposed to do...." As Miles told them those words, his daughters with the exception of blancheur and noir Looks loss for words. Even if they want to refute his statement they cant, because they know that he spoke the truth.
"But dad... can you at least give him one more chance? Please?" Saphron tried to make her father to once more to give Jaune another.
"Saphron... i know you love your brother maybe even more than us... but i already tried all i could... i teach him countless stance and countless way to fight with a sword or any other weapons.... the result is still the same.. he looks confined... like his body is fighting with chains strapping him down to the ground." She saw the depressed guilt on her father's face and she can't help but feel depressed knowing that she herself knew that Jaune always look chained down whenever father trained him. But before she can say another word her father beat her to it.
"I....i don't want to send my son to his death...." this manage to even calm down modred who by the looks of it is trying her best to stop herself from pouncing on her father.
"Your father... talk to me last night about this..... as much as i hate to ruin Jaune dream of becoming a huntsman.... i dont want him to also die." Her mother talk to them gently.
"But mom! You can't just do that! Its his dream! Right Artoria?!" Modred still not accepting the end of her brother's dream and she look for support in the form of Artoria. But as she wait for her response all she get is silence from her older sister.
Modred then look at Artoria face, all she found is guilt and resignment on her face.
"Artoria... right?...." a dawning realization fly across her brain while her anger burned in her veins.
"Artoria....did you know?" Modred is trying her best to stop herself from punching Artoria as she is still hopeful that Artoria is not supporting their parents decision.
"Yes.....i did.... they told me yesterday." Artoria told her rebellious sister calmly while preparing herself for the expected outburst that is going to come from her sister.
As expected modred jump across the table and she almost punch Artoria if not for her father catching her and hold her onto his chest stopping her.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD! LET ME FUCKING BEAT THAT BITCH!" Modred fight against her father's grip in a futile effort while Luna and Miles is trying to calm her down.
Artoria look at her sister with a guilty look as she understand why Modred would want to beat her.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT ARTORIA!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO JAUNE!"
Miles feel guilty for possibly wedging a unrepairable rift between his daughters and destroying Jaune's dream But he did this all for Jaune safety.
As Jaune runs into the forest outside of the town, He cried and cried, his tears falls down his eyes and his vision become muddied by the tears.
He cursed himself for his lack of skill, He cursed himself for his lack of power, He cursed himself for his lack of resolve.
He can't help but think that its probably for the best that his dad stop his training.
'Who would want to train a useless son anyway'
he stop to catch his breath he couldn't help but notice he is too deep inside the wood to know where he is located inside the forest.
he then walk to a seemingly random direction hoping to find his way back home, He then heard the sound of river's running.
Jaune decided to the sound and when he arrived he saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen.
The winds carrying away the fallen leaves as the river glisten with the light of the morning sun.
The Leaves falls on the river as a gently as if its a lover's touch.
The bird chirping in a jingle only known to them.
Jaune couldn't help himself but started to sway with the sound of music that the nature produce.
As he dances and as he glide his feet across the floor gracefully he pick up a fallen branch.
he dance to the sound of the river's running.
He dance to the sound of wind whispering in his ears.
He dance to the sound of leaves gently falls down to the water.
He dance to the sound of the bird's jingle.
He dance to the sound of nature.
He dance to the sound of music.
When he finally wake up from his trance it was in the noon, he remembered dancing as if he was fighting with a sword.
He sees the stick he is holding with his right hand and have a come to an epiphany.
He had been dancing for more than 5 hour straight.
"I.... i cannot fight.... but.... i can dance... thats the only thing im good at... ill dance instead of fighting.. ill dance to the sound of swords clashing... ill dance to the sound of guns firing... ill dance to of the distant battlefield... ill dance to the sound of my heartbeat.... ill dance to the sound of my love." He whispers to himself as his conviction grow stronger and stronger as he steels his heart.
"The dance of love."
