Ironwood: Do you still wish to accept my offer, Jaune?
Right now, we are in Ironwood's Flagship on the Bridge as we see Jaune, who is standing in the middle, facing Ironwood, he is joined by Winter and Clover.
Jaune: I mean....considering my situation. I really have no other choice.
He recalls his Transcripts being revealed by Pyrrha, someone he thought he could trust. But apparently she went behind his back without consulting him and presented his Transcripts to Ozpin. Thankfully this didn't get into the ears of many Beacon Students, only that of rumors. So he didn't face the ire of the Beacon Students just hushed whispers whenever they see him in the Halls of Beacon. But, it led to him having a huge shouting match with Pyrrha leading to her saying she did this to protect him. Jaune stormed out in anger after that and never came back.
Ironwood: It's a shame you came here with Fake Transcripts knowing you had no choice on the matter. Your Father-I'm sorry, Nicolas, refused to train you, did not see the potential in you and dubbed you weak before you ever started.
Jaune: Tell me about it. He and Mothe-I mean, Angela, refused to train me and only wanted me to become a Househusband. Someone that doesn't need to defend himself and has to rely on others to do it for me cause they see me as nothing short of Fragile. It's stupid if you ask me, considering the kind of dangers we have in Remnant, and, to top it all off, Nicolas disowned me without a matters notice. Said I was lucky he did it on Scroll Call or else I would have faced a worse punishment like being locked up in a Cell in the Arc Family Estate's Basement.
Clover: That's rough, Buddy.
Jaune: Don't pull a Zuko here, Clover.
Ironwood: Getting back on topic, I remember due to your......fight with your Partner. Ozpin was able to convince me to bring you into Atlas for a Semester, and like I told you before. I will never regret my decision because it was the best decision I ever made.
Clover: The General's right, many of us weren't sure of your arrival. But during those weeks when you served under the Atlas Military, you exceeded our expectations, earning your place in Atlas. Not only were your Tests regarding all forms of Strategies and Tactics a 100%, you were able to keep up with the training I, the Ace-Ops, and Winter over here gave you.
Winter: And, did something no one in Atlas has ever done; gained the trust and loyalty of the entire 1st Year Student Body of Atlas Academy. I don't know how you did it, but the comradery I saw, proved it.
Jaune: I appreciate the complements, Specialist. I really do. It showed me that my place is there and not in Beacon.
Ironwood: Indeed, like I said earlier. I'm offering you a spot in Atlas Academy. I gave the Transfer Papers to Ozpin and he accepted it. If you accept this, you will be instated to the Academy effectively immediately. And not only that, you even managed to convince me to do something I would never do or what a few didn't expect me to do.
He walks over to Jaune and gives him a Folder, Jaune grabs it, opening the Folder as his eyes widened. They are Adoption Papers.
Ironwood: That's right, Jaune. I plan to adopt you into my Family, meaning you will no longer be an Arc, but an Ironwood. So, Son. What do you say?
He steps forward and offers Jaune his hand, Jaune looks at it for a few seconds before a smile appears on his face. Knowing this is a new step in his Life, a Life he will no doubt, enjoy. A Life better than what he original had.
Jaune: I accept, General-No, Father.
He says as Jaune shakes Ironwood's hand as the two hugged each other, Clover and Winter smiling at this gesture.
