It has been a month since Team MOLA have gotten acquainted with each other in Beacon Academy. Lilina Macedon, the team leader of them, had a great relationship with all of them except the only female faunus on their team. Lethe Gallia. The only person the female cat faunus would associate with was Y/N and sometimes Owain, Owain often hanging around with Y/N.

Y/N was fine with his team arrangement. Most cases, and something he tells himself, is that he's not a leader and nor did he ever desire to be one. He got along fine with Lilina, despite her being from Atlas, he took the time to talk to her. Owain was fine, always using his colorful language but would talk normally when Lethe would threaten him to beat him up, but Owain would always just laugh it off. He hadn't had this much fun since the days at the orphanage. As for Lethe, she would never hang around too much her team. After classes, she would head to the training room and often train by herself, but Y/N would offer sometimes and she would accept. But most days, she'd rather be distant from her team.

With the other teams, Y/N got along fine with Team RWBY and JNPR. When he's not hanging around with Owain, he's often with Ren meditating or he's with Nora devouring mountains of pancakes. He of course got along fine with Jaune and Pyrrha. With Team RWBY, he had a steady relationship with them aside the Schnee, both Y/N and Weiss often arguing over the faunus and whatnot. Y/N would also be constantly annoyed with Yang's nonstop flirting, but he was always drawn to the amber-eyed teammate of theirs. Her eyes are what captivated him and admired the ways she'd keep to herself quietly. When the two met at the library, Y/N reading in his spare time, Blake would often move a strand of her hair behind her ear as she read. And every time she caught Y/N staring at her, Y/N would turn the side and try to come up with an excuse, something that would cause Blake to laugh and show a gentle smile, something that would often make Y/N's heart race on the inside.

Currently, the three teams were in Goodwitch's combat class, watching Jaune fail miserable against Cardin Winchester. Cardin, the orange haired bastard that enjoyed picking on the faunus and the weaklings in the school. But the one thing that was odd was, Cardin would be afraid around Team MOLA when Lethe was around. Then again, they would see Cardin quiver in fear sometimes every time Lethe flashed her sharp claws.

Back to the fight at hand, Jaune was out of breath, his sword and shield at his side as Cardin grinned with his mace on his shoulder. With a battle cry, Jaune lunged forward and swung his sword down, Cardin stepping to the side as he dodges the simple attack. Swinging his mace, Jaune turned around the mace gets in contact with his shield, causing the poor boy to be sent flying to the end of the stage. Putting two hands on his sword, he lets out another battle cry as he goes to attack Cardin, the orange haired dick head blocking it with the handle of his mace as they grind against each other.

Cardin: This is the part where you lose.

Jaune: Over my dead--

The blonde was cutoff, Cardin kicking him in the *cough* dick *cough*. At least Cardin didn't break the gentleman's oath to never fart on a man's balls.

After Jaune collapses onto the ground, clutching his lower area, Cardin raises his mace into the air. As he was about to bring it down, a buzzer sound went off, Cardin letting out an annoyed sound as he stops.

Glynda: Cardin. That's enough.

Glynda marches to the front of the stage, now facing the sea of students.

Glynda: Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle and that the official may call the match. (looks to Jaune) 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 is 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 Beowolf now, would we?

Cardin: Speak for yourself.

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 in Vale so keep practicing. Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale.

The school bell could then be heard and the students stand up. Smiles and excitement filled them for the Vytal Festival, except for a few of them. On the stage, Jaune looked down as Pyrrha looked at him with sadness.

Arriving at the cafeteria, the Teams MOLA, RWBY, and JNRP gather round as they begin listening to Nora's story.

Nora: So...there we were in the middle of the night.

Ren: It was day. 

Yang and Owain were listening intently, both having smiles on their faces. Blake was ignoring it, reading a book, Y/N spinning a shuriken on his finger, and Weiss was filing her nails. Ruby, Pyrrha, and Lilina however were focused on Jaune, who was picking at his food.

Nora: Surrounded by Ursai...

Ren: They were Beowolves.

Nora: (slams hands on table) Dozens of them!

Ren: Two of them.

Nora: But they were no match. And in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boatload of lien selling Ursa skin rugs.

Ren: (sigh) She's been having this reoccurring dream for nearly a month now.

Y/N: Nice story and all, but how does Ursa skin rugs make sense? Don't the bodies of Grimm disappear after killing them?

Owain: Don't mock that wonderful story, Y/N! It was a story for the birth of true Chosen Heroes such as myself.

Y/N: Shut up.

Pyrrha: Jaune? Are you okay?

Jaune: ...Huh? Oh, yeah. Why?

Ruby: It's just that...you seem a little...not okay.

Y/N: What are you talking about Red? Of course he's not fine. He's getting his ass kicked by Cardin, too much.

Yang: Language!

Y/N: Shut up! You're not a star-spangled shield user who hurls that thing at someone who curses.

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

The blonde puts on a forced smile, giving a thumbs up as well. The others only sigh and shake their heads in disappointment. Their attention was then drawn to Cardin, who him and his lackeys were currently laughing and making fun of faunus with bunny ears.

Pyrrha: Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school.

Jaune: Wh-Who? Cardin Winchester? He just likes to mess around! Practical jokes.

Ruby: He's a bully.

Y/N: Ahem. Asshole, is the correct term.

Lethe: That I can agree on. 

Jaune: (scoff) Oh, please. Name one time he's bullied me.

Y/N: Owain! Get the video.

Owain: Of course!

The others looked confused before Owain fished out his scroll, tapping something and he displays it for the others. On his scroll were various videos of Jaune getting into different situations with Cardin.

Scene 1

Jaune was carrying some of his books in his arms. Walking by, Cardin grins to himself as he knocks them out of Jaune's hands.

Jaune: Oh, come on!

Scene 2

The next scene, Jaune was walking into his next class, Cardin exiting it at the same time. Again, he grins as he clicks the button to activate the shield function of the sheathe. It expands and the shield gets Jaune stuck in the hallway, the poor boy groaning in annoyance.

Jaune: Come on!

Scene 3

The next scene shows Owain holding up his scroll in the back, Y/N up in the front as they listened to Glynda.

Glynda: Each of you will be assigned one rocket propelled locker to store your weapons and extra armor. Additionally, your locker can be sent to a custom location based on a six-digit code.

Jaune: What!?

The scroll's camera turns around to see Cardin shoving Jaune into a locker. Closing it on him, Cardin ignore's Jaune's pleas as he types in a six-digit code. The locker then launches into the air, a blue trail of smoke being left behind as Jaune's echoed scream could be heard.

Y/N: (scroll) Miss Goodwitch! Cardin launched Jaune out of a rocket locker!

Glynda: (scroll) Mister Winchester!

Cardin: (scroll) Oh shit...

After the video ends, the group then turn to Jaune.

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

Y/N: You landed in Downtown Vale! Owain and I had to drag you back here!

Pyrrha: Jaune, if you ever need help, just ask.

Nora: (stands up giddily) Oooo! We'll break his legs!

Y/N: (stands up) Count me in!

Owain: (also stands up) I'll help!

Lethe: (flashes nails) He still needs to pay for trying to pull my tail. He escaped "business" last time.

Y/N: Ah, no wonder I heard a lot of screaming. Now that I think about it, there were a lot of excess skin on your fingernails. Where'd you learn to do what you did to him?

Lethe: Oh, I know this one guy through connections. His name is Prince Gorgeous or something like that. But most people call him P.G.

(A/N): Hmm...I wonder who?

Y/N: Huh. Sounds like an interesting guy.

Jaune: (stands up with tray) Guys, really, it's fine. Besides, it's not like he's a jerk to me. He's a jerk to everyone. 

???: Ow! That hurts!

The group look over to see Cardin and his asshole lackeys laughing as the orange haired prick continues to pull the rabbit faunus's ears.

???: Please stop!

Cardin: I told you it was real!

Sky: What a freak!

Back over at the table, Lethe flashes her claws as she stood up.

Lethe: Seems asshole over here doesn't learn his lesson.

Y/N: Need some help?

Owain: Can I come, too!?

Lethe: Just got a plan perfect for it. Y/N get a wormhole prepped to launch him outside. Owain, rough him up a little.

Owain: We stand together!

Y/N: Got it.

The three got up to formulate their little plan. As Cardin continued to pull the girl's bunny ears, Cardin's teammates froze in fear as the tapped the prick's shoulder.

Dove: U-Uh, Cardin...?

Cardin: What?

Lethe: So what's going on this little neck of the woods, hmm?

The orange haired bastard stopped and let go of the girl's ear, now looking to Lethe, who had her sharp claws up at Cardin's neck. She had little toothy grin as she had her other hand going up Cardin's face.

Lethe: So, what do you think you're doing here, Winchester?

Cardin: N-Nothing, M-Miss Gallia.

Lethe: Oh, really? Because it seems like you're messing with my friend Velvet here. And you know what happens to people who mess with my friends, right?~

Cardin: Y-Yes, of course.

Lethe: Seems you need a spanking. Oh, Y/N!~

A clone of Y/N came from behind, picking up the orange haired prick as he runs at full speed. Cardin looks in front of him to see the real Y/N, coming out of a wormhole jumping, both his feet coming into contact with his face. Cardin screams in pain as Y/N grins, dissipating his clone as another wormhole forms above Cardin, Owain coming out of it.

Owain: Eldrich Smackdown!

Coming down with his fist, he punches Cardin in the gut, a small crater appearing under him as Cardin coughs up some spit. This causes Cardin to spin around, letting out some gas as his rear face Owain's lower region.

Everyone gasped and stopped what they did. Once Owain landed on his feet, Cardin crashed to the floor with a grunt. He recovered himself and looked at everyone confused, even his teammates had a look of horror.

Cardin: Wh-What...?

Sky: C-Cardin...you-you...

Cardin: I did what!?

Dove: You committed the taboo!

Cardin: What taboo!?

Y/N: Cardin Winchester broke the Gentlemen's Oath! He farted on another man's balls!

Cardin: What kind the hell kind of oath is that!?

Owain: Shame on you!

Everyone begins to boo him, Cardin turning around as he's met with a bitch slap to the face from Lethe. As he's sent flying, Y/N spawns a wormhole and Cardin is launched inside, another portal opening up in the Emerald Forest. A small scream from the orange haired prick was heard as he plummets into the forest.

Every male stood up, even some females, went up to Owain and felt pity for him. For the oath to be broken on him, by Cardin of all people, it was truly a sad sight to see.

Ruby: What's the Gentlemen's Oath?

Nora: Oh, that's easy! It doesn't matter if you're human or a faunus! Farting on another man's balls is strictly forbidden. It's true dishonor.

Blake: While it may sound dumb, it was something all the humans and faunus and agreed on.

The brown haired bunny from earlier, Velvet, walked up to the three who saved her.

Velvet: Th-Thank you three. But was all that necessary?

Lethe: Of course it was, Bunny. He was hurting you. Not only that...

Y/N: He broke the Gentlemen's Oath.

Owain: Something truly unacceptable! It does not matter if you're a faunus or a human, you never fart on another man's balls.

Velvet: As Lethe once said, I'm Velvet. Velvet Scarlatina.

Y/N: Well, Velvet. I'm Y/N Astra L/N. Pleasure to meet you.

Owain: And I am Owain Ostia!

Y/N: Enough of that shit.

Owain: Aw, man...

Lethe: It was good seeing you Velvet. Give us a call and we'll help. Oh, and tell Coco I said hi.

Velvet: O-Of course. I should be going now. Bye!

The brown haired faunus bows in thanks before she leaves. Y/N and Owain look to Lethe.

Y/N: Who's that?

Lethe: Velvet Scarlatina. She's a second-year here at Beacon. My family is close friends with hers. I don't know why she didn't fight back. She could've whooped their asses.

As everyone begins to praise the three for their efforts, no one was watching the blonde swordsman leave the cafeteria with his head down. The only one who did notice, was the red haired spartan, looking at him worriedly.
