Another One to Remnant (Ruby x Reader OC)

Chapter 8: Jaunedice

=================================
Azure's P.O.V.
=================================

Team RWBY, JNPR, and I are back at Professor Goodwitch's class. We are currently watching Jaune attempt to fight Cardin. Jaune rushes at Cardin to slash him with his sword only to be easily dodged by Cardin. He counter attacked and knocked Jaune and his shield off him. Jaune strikes Cardin again only for his sword to be blocked by Cardin's mace.

Cardin: "This is the part where you lose."

Jaune: "Over my dead-"

Before Jaune could finish, he was kneed in the stomach by Cardin. Jaune fell down to the floor and was about to be finished by Cardin. But before he could do so, the bell rings, signaling the end of the match.

Glynda: "That's enough. 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 officials may call the match."

Jaune struggles to stand up.

Glynda: "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's 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 bell rings, signaling the end of the class. I walked to Jaune and helped him get up.

Azure: "Come on, Jaune. Let's go to the cafeteria before Nora eats the whole place up."

Jaune: "Yeah, thanks, Azure."

=================================
Timeskip to Cafeteria.
=================================

I am currently sitting with Team RWBY and JNPR in the cafeteria with Snow sitting on my lap. I have a plate of sandwiches in front of me. I begin eating them, with Snow taking a few nibbles here and there, while I listened to Nora telling her story, with Ren occasionally correcting them.

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

Ren: "It was day."

Nora: "We were surrounded by Ursai..."

Ren: "They were beowolves."

Nora: "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: "*sighs* She's been having this reoccurring dream for nearly a month now."

I looked to the side and see Jaune just sitting there, playing with his food. I start to become worried about him. I looked towards Ruby and Pyrrha and saw that they were concerned as well.

Pyrrha: "Jaune? Are you okay?"

Jaune: "Huh? Oh, yeah, why?"

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

Azure: "You're far from okay, Jaune."

Jaune: "Guys, I'm fine... Seriously, look!" He put his thumbs up and laughed nervously.
