The Return of The Captain(on hold)

Chapter 14: A Tired Cat, Dance, infiltration with a quick encounter

The scene opens to Pyrrha gearing up in a locker room. As she walks out of the locker room, we cut to her sparring with Cardin Winchester and back again. Eventually, the fight scene includes the other members of Team CRDL.

While she is still exiting toward the arena, the scene cuts to her spar with Team CRDL.

Glynda approaches from behind Cardin who clutches his ribs.

Glynda: And that's the match.

Cardin: Lucky shot.

Cardin collapses.

Jaune:(heh he didn't stand a chance)- he thought with a smirk

Glynda: Well done, Miss Nikos. You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament.

Pyrrha: Thank you, professor.

Glynda: *Tapping her Scroll* Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match -Glynda looks around at the observing students- Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna? - she calls out as Blake slams her book shut and stares wide-eyed at Glynda- You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you -

Mercury raises his hand.

Mercury: I'll do it.

Glynda: Mercury, is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent.

Mercury: Actually, I wanna fight... him.

Mercury points to Jaune.

Jaune: Me?

Glynda: Do you accept Mr. Arc

Jaune: I'd be happy to oblige- he said standing up

-time skip-

We see how Mercury struts into the arena, visibly sizing up Jaune. Their spar begins when he makes the first attack and is knocked down. Recovering quickly, he deflects an attack and begins trading blows with Jaune until he knocks him back with his shield.

Ruby Rose turns toward Emerald sitting behind her.

Ruby: Hey, your friend's doing pretty good.

Emerald gives a fake smile and then rolls her eyes as Ruby turns her back.

Mercury unleashes a series of powerful strikes. Jaune allows his kick to slam against his forearm before Mercury manages to disarm him of his main shield, a kick ready to land on Jaune. Jaune activates his Wakanda shield and raise them in front of him to block Mercury's next kick. As he charges him with his shields, he shoots off of it and turns his back to him. Jaune tries to rush him again.

Mercury: -non-chalant- I forfeit.

Jaun stops beside him.

Jaune: You... don't even want to try?- he said a little shocked

Mercury: -shrugging- What's the point? You're an expert fighter with those shields of yours. We're obviously leagues apart.

Glynda: In that case... Jaune Arc is the victor of the match.

Emerald smirks. Mercury sneers smugly. Jaune has a annoyed and disappointed look on his face, and hides his Wakanda shields and grabs his main one. The Aura displays for Jaune and Mercury are shown as Mercury's is changed from green to red indicating his loss.

Glynda: Next time, you may want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent.

Mercury: I'll be sure to do that.

An alarm sounds which jolts Blake who has nodded off.

Glynda: That is all for today. And remember, the dance is this weekend. But you all have your first mission on Monday. I will not accept any excuses.
