Start from the beginning
                                    

Ruby retaliated with a harder punch knocking him down.

Ruby: Ha! Yes! I did it!

Oscar: [Groan]

Ruby: Oscar?

Oscar: Why didn't you tell me?!

He then stands up and switches to Ozpin.

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

He then activates his aura.

Y/N: This is gonna be bad.

JNR: Yep.

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

Ozpin rushes her going for a flurry of punches that knocks her back and goes for an overhead kick.

Ruby gets back up and tries a left cross but Ozpin dodges and retaliates with a Headbutt.

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: Got it.

Ozpin then switches back as Oscar falls to the ground exhausted.

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, Y/N can create and control Ice and Lightning and Jaune... can, uh, um. Hmm.

Jaune: I can't do any-

Ruby: He hasn't found his Semblance yet, but we all know he will. And you will, too. We all just have to try and help each other get stronger.

Ren: 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 was unlocked from intense stress.

Ruby: And mine kicked in during training one day.

Oscar: What about you two?

Nora: Oh. Struck by lightning. Didn't die. Craaaazy Thursday.

Y/N: I believe it's a mixture of stress and the environment I was in.

Jaune: I just don't understand what's wrong with me. I train. I meditate.

Oscar then switches back to Ozpin.

Ozpin: Don't worry, Mr. Arc. Your journey is far from over. And the same might be said for all of you. Unlocking your Semblance isn't the end. It can still grow and evolve. Providing you're willing to put in the work, who knows what could happen.

Ozpin: Take Ms.L/N for example.

Y/N: Huh?

Ozpin: You haven't noticed your evolution.
