RIDER TIME!!! RWBY's Legend Rider

Truth! Help and Training

[3rd POV]

Cardin: This is the part where you lose.

Jaune: Over my dead-!

Jaune is cut short when Cardin Winchester knees him in the gut, making him drop his sword and fall to the ground in pain. Cardin raises his mace and is about to slam it down on a worried Jaune just when the buzzer rings and the lights come back on.

Glynda: Cardin, that's enough!" (he relents and walks away as she comes onto the stage, tapping her tablet) "Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match.

Jaune still lays on the floor in defeat and Pyrrha Nikos looks sad, Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team.

Glynda: Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Grimm, now, would we?

Cardin: Speak for yourself...

Glynda: Alright class, we have some time for one more match. Mr. Winchester, who would you like to fight next?

Cardin: I'd like to fight that guy. (points at Jet) He's been making a big deal here at school. I'd like to see what he's made of.

Glynda: Very well. Mr. Spectrum, would you please come down here?

Jet: (shrugged) Fine by me.

Jet gets up and heads down to the battle area. Cardin cracks his knuckles as the screen showed his Aura. However, Jet's side seemed to glitch. Everyone wondered why that was happening.

Glynda: Alright class. The fight between Jet Spectrum and Cardin Winchester will begin shortly.

Cardin: (smirk) I'm going to enjoy breaking your bones.

Jet merely stood there as the counter began counting down.

Glynda: 3...2...1... Begin!

The fight was over before it began. Jet rushing in, placing heavy hits and kicking Cardin of the battle area. Wide-eyed, everyone looked at Cardin's Aura below 50%. Glynda kept her stoic face as everything happened.

Glynda: With that, the match is over. Jet, clever of you to rush in and do a frontal attack with Cardin's guard down.

Jet nodded and headed back to his seat while everyone else looked at him.

Everyone: *Did she just compliment him?!*

Glynda: Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving, so keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!

The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly. Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame.

Nora: So! There we were, in the middle of the night...

Ren: It was day.

Nora: We were surrounded by ...

Ren: They were Beowolves.

Nora: Dozens of them!
