Hell on remnant (Abused Male Reader x Rwby) Adopted [On Hiatus]

Part 13 Friendly Match

Timeskip 6 weeks: Third-person

After their reunion as siblings, Ruby and (Y/N) started to know more about each other and their experiences. Ruby was more interested in hearing her older brother's stories about his devil-hunting days than anything else. Plus, there wasn't much to say other than her getting into Beacon two years early, which made her insecure about her accomplishments. He does his best to reassure her about it, most would think you gotta be extra special to skip two years to get there. For the past few weeks, they caught up with each other in smaller aspects, making sure Ruby was getting better sleep and keeping up with her grades as she pestered him with questions and acted like the annoying little sister she is to him, but he doesn't mind as it was a welcomed distraction from Yang's glares and Blake's somber glances. As time went on, his previous reputation amongst his peers changed from being feared cause of his demonic heritage to a being who is kind and warm-hearted as they see the young ruby around him, dubbing him "the warm-blooded devil". (Y/N) has begun to notice Delta being off on most days, spacing out, and beginning to wander by himself but mainly staying in his mark where he stays for a good amount of time. Hopefully, the young hunter can find out what's wrong with his Grimm companion, but right now at this time, it is combat class with Miss Glynda Goodwitch as Pyrrha was taking on team CRDL which from quick observation and a novice eye can see it's not a fair fight for the full team against the champion.

Pov: (Y/N)

I have to admit, she's pretty good in combat, not staying in one fighting style as she's basically dancing on these clowns as they fumble to even hit her. She keeps glancing up at me as she fights as if making sure I'm watching, and I don't know why; I heard from Ruby and others that the winner gets to challenge another student to a duel. I'll get to see why everyone gets hyped up about her. She can fight, but skill and technique don't compare to experience. The best down draws to a close as Pyrrha is crowned the winner, "Pyrrha Nikos wins" Miss Goodwitch announced as Cardin groaned from his painful possession "Lucky shot" he groaned out as his team helped him up as they left the ring, Glynda rolls her eyes as she was about to address the class when Pyrrha announced "I would like to challenge (Y/N) Redgrave" which gave Glynda pause, as did I. "Are you sure?" Glynda asked as Pyrrha nodded in confirmation, which Miss Goodwitch returned, "Mr. Redgrave, head to the locker room and prepare for combat," she ordered me. I shrugged and did as I was told and got ready, and a short time later, I walked into the arena with Red Queen resting on my shoulders. I then changed my right arm to its demonic form, I needed to test it out so it was the perfect opportunity "Remember this is a friendly match, do not go past the red of one's aura" Glynda reminded us "Of course" Pyrrha replied as I rolled my eyes "yeah yeah whatever" I simply said as Glynda sighed at my response "Fighters ready? Begin!" she shouted.

The fight begins with both combatants launching at each other with great speed, crashing into each other, Pyrrha with her shield, and (Y/N) with his right demonic arm halting their motion as they stare at each other. Pyrrha maintained a serious expression while (Y/N) was amused by her display "Cheer up tomato head, don't need to be so serious it's just a friendly match." he said with a smirk as Pyrrha scowled, becoming annoyed by him causing her to break their clash, taking swings of her sword. The young Sparda playfully dodges her attacks, not really taking this match seriously as he chuckles; the young Spartan tries to land a hit at her opponent but is beginning to get frustrated by (Y/N) display of his devil-may-care attitude. "Take this seriously (Y/N)!" she shouted at him as he now parried a spear strike with his demonic arm forcing her back, her footing rooting to a defensive stance. "of course I am, but if you want serious then so be it," he said as he places the tip of red queen on the ground and revs it, losing his playful grin now dawning his scowl. The shift in his mood made most of the students rise in their seats in shock and wait to see what happens now. Goodwitch and Pyrrha look at him with genuine surprise; in his short time there, he treated most of the lessons and sparring sessions as a joke. Sure, he was a formidable fighter, but that was then; what he would be like now as he's taking a session seriously is what Pyrrha has to find out. Steeling her resolve, she braces herself for what's to come; he lifts his blade off the ground and starts to circle her. She does the same as they wait for the right moment to strike one another; soon, they rush each other, but (Y/N) is much faster thanks to his new heritage and then goes for an upper slash. Pyrrha quickly blocked the attack but was caught and sent into the air, using the momentum to throw both her spear and shield at him, he swatted the shield away and then caught the spear inches away from his face. Surprising everyone with his speed and reaction Pyrrha uses her semblance to regain her shield after landing back down. (Y/N) then throws it back at her with greater speed; the kinetic energy after using her semblance was so powerful she skidded across the ground, reducing her aura into a lime green color. For the first time in her career, she took a hit from an opponent and one that was treating this fight like a kid's game. Before she could react, he was already on top of her about to deliver an overhead strike; the bell then rang, saving her in the nick of time. "That's all we have for the day; combatants return to the locker rooms and head out for the day, I'll see you all tomorrow." Goodwitch proclaimed as she left the classroom, and soon the other students trickled out of the classroom, recovering from the shock. (Y/N) placed Red Queen on his back, then gave his hand to her. "Come on, let's go," he said to her; for a moment, she looked at him with a small blush on her face, then took it, lifting herself off the ground. They both went to the locker room in their respective corners, Pyrrha's team and Ruby, followed by Wiess and, surprisingly, Blake, while Yang rolled her eyes and went back to their dorm.

(Y/N)'s Pov:

Maybe I went a little too far back there, I'm not that aggressive with anyone. But lately, I've been getting more aggravated, especially with the humans, I might have to talk to Dad and Uncle Virgil later today. "Big bro!" I hear after finishing putting on the school uniform leaving the collar open, the tie loose,  the blazers and shirt sleeves rolled up. I turn to see Ruby with her friend Wiess and, oh Blake... Great, "Hey, sis, whatcha doing back here?" I asked her as I turned to greet Wiess. "Miss Cotton ball," which caused her face to turn red out of anger, annoyance, and embarrassment as Ruby and I began to laugh a little, much to her chagrin; my laughter died down as it ended with a sigh. "So how did you like the fight?" I asked Ruby as her eyes lit up like stars as she started to ramble; I kind of tuned her out a little as she was giving me a play-by-play; all I could do was nod to what she was saying. Weiss did join in the conversation, but she was more nitpicking my style, so I toned her out as well, out of the corner of my eye, and saw Blake just staring at me. Kinda want to know what's on her mind, but before anything continues, Pyrrha knocks on the doorway. She is already in her school uniform as she sports her ever-cheery smile, "I hope I'm not interrupting your conversation." She said as she stepped into the room with us, Ruby was quick to approach her with her questions, and Wiess joined in with what I could describe as an interrogation about our fight. I sighed and soon stood up to get in between them, "All right, you two knock it off; let her breathe." With that, the girls sheepishly stepped back while apologizing to her, "Thank you," she said to Ruby and Weiss as she now addressed me.

Pyrrha's Pov:

Facing off against (Y/N) reinforced what I already knew, I needed to get stronger for my team and the world. I'm hoping that he'll take me up on this offer; I take a deep breath and brace myself, "Would you like to train with me?" I asked him; I could almost hear a record scratching to a halt; Ruby and Weiss had their jaws hanging in shock. He raised his eyebrow at me as he stepped closer to me. My heart started racing as he stood close to me, but I shouldn't feel nervous talking to him; I tried to maintain eye contact while waiting for an answer. His shit wasn't fully buttoned up nor tucked in as he held his blazer, the collar of his shit was open, showing a bit of his chest, and his tank top was underneath. I shook my head why am I thinking these things?! He's my friend so stop it! He lets out a small chuckle, gods he must think I'm pathetic or something. "Sure, I'd be glad too," I looked up at him, a bit surprised, "Really?" I asked him as he nodded. "Yeah, fighting you made me realize that even if I have my new strength, some of my opponents don't, so I need to learn how to control it." He said as he looked at his left arm and clenched his fist, I nodded and looked at him with my resolve. "I agree, fighting you also made me realize that there are things stronger than the Grimm we are going to face on the field." I thought back to the alert we had a few weeks ago of the demon invasion, knowing that (Y/N) has the strength and experience to deal with them, I want to help him or know how to at least. "And with your strength and experience, training to fight harder will help me become strong enough to protect the things and people I care about," I said, maintaining eye contact with him; he smiled and gave me his hand. "Then let's make it official, partner." I blushed a little, took his hand, and shook it. "Let's get stronger together."

Hi friends, it's been a while ain't it, I'm sorry for the long wait. Still struggling with things on my end but this is helping me center myself, I didn't realize how much I've been neglecting this and my other works for so long, but for now I'll be working on this story and once I'm satisfied with a pausing point I'll work on the others as well. I should work in a schedule honestly but I'll deal with that later, anyway I hope you all are enjoying this read and I'll see y'all in the Void, peace!
