JB's RWBY Volume 3: When It Falls (Male OC Insert)

Chapter 9: Training

After leaving Yang in the room, Kai left for the training arena they normally used for Glynda's sparring classes where he was supposed to meet with Qrow. Qrow walked into the arena about five minutes after Kai did.

Qrow: "Alright kid, let's get started. But before we go into your semblance though, I gotta make sure your skills haven't dulled"

Kai raised an eyebrow, "Do you mean...". Qrow smiled, "Yup. You and I are going to have ourselves a sparring match". Kai smiled, and retreived Raze from his back, "I'm not the same as I was before old man, this time I'm taking you down".

Qrow chuckled, "You've never beaten me before kid, what makes you think you can..." Kai suddenly appeared behind Qrow, blade raised high in the air, ready for a strike. He brought it down with a mighty swing and there was a sound of metal against metal. Qrow had brought out his blade and positioned it behind him in a way that would block the strike.

Qrow smiled, still facing forward, "Not bad kid, honestly I wasn't expecting that. But you'll have to do a lot harder to win this one". Kai responded with a smile of his won, "I'm just getting started old man".

Kai jumped backards creating some distance between him and Qrow. Qrow finally turned to face him, blade in one hand, and a smile on his face. Kai charged forward and he and Qrow began to engage in a speedy blade combat. The sound of metal clashing agaionst metal was the only thing that could be heard in the room, as the two dark haired males executed strike after strike.

Qrow: "Hey you've actually gotten better kid!" He moved backwards to avoid a strike then suddenly reached out and grabbed Kai's arm. Twisting on his feet, he flung the boy to the other side of the stage, and Kai landed hard on his back.

Qrow: "Your base skills may have improved, but don't assume you can win this without your semblance. Come on, it's time, let's see what we're working with". Kai got up, and he seemed pissed about the fall he had taken, "Alright then, now I'm all warmed up" His eyes glowed golden, and his blade became encased in flames.

Kai and Qrow dashed at each other again, resuming their combat. This time Kai was able to keep up with Qrow, though it didn't seem the dark haired man was really going all out. Kai arched backwards to dodge a strike aimed at his head, and retaliate with a strike of his own. Qrow spun to the side to avoid it, and using his momentum, brought swung his leg upwards delivering a swift kick to Kai's jaw. Kai stumbled but he was able to balance himself, and he turned to glare at Qrow with his golden orbs.

Qrow: "Good, you're pissed. Now, fire one of your slashes at me. Let's see just how much of that power you can draw out"

Kai gripped his blade tightly with both hands, and slashed with all his might, sending an arc of bright burning flames straight at Qrow. Qrow used his huge blade as a sheild, blocking the strike completely, though the force of it moved him back a few feet.

Qrow: "Nice effort, but you need to add more power to the attack". Kai frowned, and send out another slash which Qrow blocked again, "Come on kid, you can do better than that"

Kai: "AAAArrrrgh!" he gave a final swing of his blade, and a massive stream of flames came blazing towards Qrow. Qrow widened his eyes and blocked with his sheild, but the force of the slash sent him flying off the stage, but he ultimately landed on his feet.

Kai: "How was that?" Qrow put away his blade, "That last attack was on point. Now I want you to focus. What did you feel when you drew that power". Kai scratched his head, "I was...angry?"

Qrow: "No not just the anger, I mean inside of you. When you got pissed, you drew out more power than you had before. I want you to focus on what you felt in that moment. The enemy isn't just going to wait till you get angry. You have to figure out how to draw out that power at free will."
