Story:

"It was in the middle of the night..."

"True."

"We were surrounded by Grimm!"

"That's true."

"Dozen of them!"

"That's also true."

"But they were no match! And in the end, The King of the Grimm was defeated and he slowly drifted off into space! Turning to dust! Alongside his dastardly Grimm!"

Ren sighs, "She's been having this dream for the past month now." He said to both teams RWBY and JNPR as he helped confirmed Nora's dream.

It was Lunch Time for both Jaune's and Ruby's team and the Eight Hunters in training were sitting around eating, hearing about Nora's dream and worrying about other things.

Pyrrha looking at a despondent Jaune who was picking at his food, she decided to ask him if he was okay.

"Huh? Oh...Yeah. Why?" He replied, surprised by the question.

"It's just that, you seem a little...Not okay."

Ruby had to say, "G-Guys, I'm fine! I'm as fine as Surveyor is! I mean look at him!"
Turning around gesturing towards the Servitor behind the cafeteria table both teams were at, they looked at the lone robot.

...Who was currently bumping into a window over and over again, if you looked closely you could see him staring directly out to the direction of the Emerald Forest.

While Jaune was expected a perfectly working Servitor, it seemed he was far from working as Surveyor was getting some stares from other students.

"...Ruby you made sure to remember his weekly maintenance check right?" Yang asked as Ruby was scanning the Servitor with her goggles on.

"I...May have decided to postpone his programming check...It's not one of my strong suits." She replied

"But Advance Robo-mechanics is?" Weiss dryly asks. Jaune chuckles nervously, "Ok maybe he isn't fine, but I am see?"

While Jaune tries to smile, he suddenly sees Team CRDL over his shoulder harassing a Rabbit-Eared Faunus Girl...and a Servitor bumping into different windows nearby.

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

"Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah, he just likes to mess around, you know? Practical Jokes." Jaune said, feigning ignorance on Cardin's bullying.

"He's a bully." Ruby said.

"Oh please. Name one time he's "Bullied" me." Jaune said with air quotations.

As the group list the ways that Cardin had bullied Jaune, the blonde in question gave one reply when it was said that Cardin pushed Jaune into a rocket locker and sent him flying.

"...I didn't land far from the school..."

"Jaune you know if you ever need help you can just ask." Pyrrha told Jaune.

"Oh! We'll break his legs!" Nora suddenly said standing up with a diabolical grin.

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