The Creed of Remnant (RWBY X Assassin's Creed)

Chapter 9: Helping Jaune

Everybody seemed exited, even the assassins showed a few smiles. The bell finally ringed, and the students started leaving. The only person who stayed behind was Pyrra, who looked upon Jaune with a frown, he was still sitting on one of the benches, face down.

Beacon Cafeteria, some time later

It was lunch time and the three teams (RWBY, JNPR and EJEA) were at the same table, listening to Nora's "Epic Story".

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

Ren: It was day.

Nora: We were surrounded by Ursai!

Ren: They were Beawolfs.

Nora: Dozens of them!

Ren: Two of them.

Meanwhile, Pyrra, Evie and Ruby looked at Jaune with concern. His face was still down and he seemed to be clouded by his thoughts.

Pyrra: Jaune? Are you okay?

Jaune: Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?

Ruby: It's just that you seem a little...

Evie: ... Not okay.

Everyone was now looking at Jaune. 

Jaune: Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!

He made a thumbs up and gave everybody a fake smile. Suddenly, the table got distracted by team CRDL picking on a rabbid faunus girl. Aveline was about to stand up, but Ezio stopped her, nodding is disaproval. Aveline took a few seconds, and sat back down.

Pyrra: Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!

Jaune: Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!

Evie: If so then he's out touch.

Ruby: He's a bully!

Jaune: Oh, please! Name one time he's "bullied" me.

Jacob: That time he dropped your books.

Yang: That time he turned on your shield, and you were stuck in the door for hours.

Ezio: That time he shoved you into a locker, and sent you flying outside of city limits.

Jaune: I didn't land far from the school!

Pyrra: Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.

Nora: Ooooh! We'll break his legs!

Aveline: I like that one.

Jaune: Guys, really, it's fine! Besides, it's not like he's only a jerk to me, he's a jerk to everyone.

Everybody heard an "ow" from where team CRDL was. Cardin was pulling on the faunus girl's ears.

Faunus Girl: Ow! That hurts! Please stop!

Cardin: I told you it was real!

CRDL member: What a freak!

Pyrra: Atrocious. I can't stand people like him.

Blake: He's not the only one...

Yang: It must be hard to be a Faunus.

Suddenly, Aveline stood up and started walking towards Cardin.

Ezio: Aveline!

Aveline: I'll be fine.

She walked up to Cardin and grabbed him by the wrists, squishing it, making him let go of Velvet's ear.
