The King Of Knights (RWBY X Jaune Arc)

Chapter 23: Sisterly Bond

Oscar and Ruby are training hand to hand combat whilst Jaune, Mordred, Nora and Ren are looking on.

Jaune: He is a fast learner.

Oscar hits Ruby straight in her face. Ruby recoils from the blow and looks visibly angry.

Oscar: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!

Ruby hits Oscar back and he lands a few feet away on the ground as Jaune and Nora wince at the sight.

Ruby: Ha! Yes! I did it!..... Oscar?

Ozpin Mentally: You forgot to engage your Aura, again.

Oscar: Why didn't you tell me?

Ozpin Mentally: Because this method makes you less likely to forget.

Oscar groans and gets to his feet.

Ozpin mentally: Mind if I give it a shot?

Oscar stiffens briefly while his eyes glow in a yellow light.

Ozpin: Not bad, Miss Rose. But Oscar doesn't have the years of training that you do. Or I do.

Oscar's body shimmers green as Ozpin engages their Aura. Nora realize what Ruby is in for. Oscar determinedly approaches Ruby.

She began to get nervous.

Ruby: Oh, ha, well, maybe we should uh... take a break.

Ozpin attacks Ruby with a few punches aimed at her head, forcing her onto the defensive until he lands a blow to her face which knocks her back several feet. Ozpin closes the gap with a leap and kicks her in the face. Ruby leaps at Ozpin to throw a left cross which Ozpin evades by ducking and retaliates with a headbutt from below.

Nora: Ouch.

Ozpin: The next time you want to throw a left cross, remember to push off with the appropriate foot. And as always, do be aware of any openings.

Ruby then got up.

Ruby: Gooooot it.

Ozpin relinquishes his control and Oscar falls to the ground, panting.

Ruby: Oh! Hey. Are you okay?

Oscar: How is this so exhausting?

Ren: Your body isn't used to this kind of training, not to mention generating a defensive Aura on your own. It takes intense concentration at first, but in time it will become second nature, allowing you to deflect attacks and gradually heal your wounds. After that, you can begin focusing on your Semblance, whatever that may be.

Oscar: Semblance?

Nora: You know! Like your very own superpower! Everybody's got one. It's just a matter of finding it and mastering it. Ruby moves super fast, Electricity makes me stronger, Ren can mask emotions, and Jaune... can, uh, um. Hmm.

They Realized that Jaune Never gave them a proper answer on what is his semblance, Hell they dont even know Mordred's.

Nora: What is your semblance again Jaune?

Jaune: Mine and Mordred semblance are kept hidden for a secret for good reason, Sorry guys.

Disappointed with that answer, Ren then spoke.

Ren: I see... Anyway a common philosophy is that a warrior's Semblance is a part of who they are. Some say your personality and character can define your Semblance while some claim that it is the other way around. Of course, there are still many who don't see a connection at all.

Nora: It's hard to know when you know sometimes. Ren's Semblance from intense stress.

Ruby: And mine kicked in during training one day.
