RWBYK 1: The Story Begins

Chapter 9 - Jaundice

Hey guys! Firestorm here with a new chapter for you all. RWBYK has gotten a lot of love and to think I'm not even halfway through the series yet.

Also, this story will be never ending as long as the RWBY series continues, so will this story. Don't have much else to say so onto the story!

A Few Weeks Later...

There was a class of combat currently being shown. A light was staged in a lecture hall meant for PvP combat. While the area surrounding the two fighters was dark, the audience could see the action clearly.

Jaune was up against none other than Cardin Winchester, leader of Team CRDL (Cardinal). He had burnt-orange hair that was combed backwards with a slight peak at the front and indigo eyes. He wore silver-gray armor with gold trim. The chest-plate sported a bird with its wings outstretched. Underneath the armor, he wore a black shirt with red trimmings and black pants with a red belt tied around his waist. It should also be noted that Cardin was very tall. He stood at least a head above the rest of his teammates. Cardin stood with his large mace perched on his shoulder, and Jaune, opposite him with his own weapon out, leaned on his weapon, exhausted, in the spotlight shining on the Beacon Academy auditorium stage where duels were held.

From the moment that the Ky laid eyes on Cardin's group, he could tell that the team members were all your stereotypical muscle heads that thought that they were on top of the world just because they had big muscles, fancy armor, and big weapons. More than that, Ky had seen how Cardin and his teammates treated a few of the other students quite a few times in between classes, and to say that he was not pleased with what he had witnessed would be like saying that the sun was a little warm; a very severe understatement. The guy was a big bully, and his teammates were not much better, following him around and doing everything he told them to do like it was no big deal. Since Ky had never been a fan of bullies in general, no one was surprised to see that him were both glaring at Cardin just as heatedly every time he fell into the bluenette's line of sight. His bad attitude aside, Cardin must have possessed some level of skill as a huntsman-in-training to be allowed into Beacon, and unfortunately, Jaune was currently getting a first-hand display of those very skills.

Jaune looked at Cardin, who laughs at his opponent's tiredness. Gathers his strength, Jaune charged forward and swung his blade at Cardin, only for him to jump out of the way.

Jaune looks back, surprised, as Cardin's mace sends Jaune's shield, and himself, flying back. Now only armed with his sword, Jaune continued to try and attack, but is blocked by the mace's hilt. Their weapons locked, Cardin forces himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.

"This is the part where you lose, squirt." Cardin mocked with a smug grin. The blonde growls at him.

"Over my dead—"Jaune retorted, but he never got the chance to finish as Cardin suddenly kneed him in the crotch, taking all wind out of Jaune's sails, and making him drop to the floor in pain, while every other male watching this all winced in sympathy for the blonde.

"Cheap shot," Ky grumbled, not liking the use of such underhanded, below-the-belt tactics, even if he could admit that they were sometimes beneficial. The only thing he liked even less was how Cardin was now raising his mace above his head like he was getting ready to crush Jaune's skull, and he likely would have rushed in to help had it not been for the fact that for one thing, he would have gotten into trouble for interfering, and for another thing, someone else managed to stop him before he could swing.
