(Y/N): Holy shit!!!

Glynda: And that's the match.

(Y/N): Seeing Pyrrah kick CRDL's butt will always make my day.

You lean back into your seat and look over to Blake.

She is studying some book with dark circles under her eyes.

You frown.

Glynda: Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match.

Glynda: Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna?

Blake slams her book and quickly looks up, wide eyed.

Glynda: You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you -

Unknown: I'll do it.

Glynda: Mercury, is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent.

(Y/N): Mercury, huh. So that's his name.

Mercury: Actually, I wanna fight... her.

Mercury points to Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Me?

Glynda: I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished the match. I recommend you choose another partner.

Pyrrha: No, it's fine! I'd be happy to oblige.

Mercury struts down into the arena, and sizes up Pyrrah.

Their spar begins when he makes the first attack and is knocked down. Recovering quickly, he deflects an attack and begins trading blows with Pyrrha until she knocks him back with her shield.

Ruby turns to Mercury's friend, with the Mint hair.

Ruby: Hey, your friend's doing pretty good.

You can tell from the girl's smile that she's faking it.

Mercury unleashes a series of powerful strikes. Pyrrha allows his kick to slam against her forearm before Mercury manages to disarm her, a kick impaling her blade into the ground. Pyrrha uses her Semblance to redirect the direction of Mercury's next kick. As she charges him with her shield, he shoots off of it and turns his back to her. Pyrrha tries to rush him again.

Mercury: I forfeit.

Pyrrha, surprised by this, stumbles.

Pyrrha: You... Don't even want to try?

Mercury shrugs.

Mercury: What's the point? You're a world-renowned fighter. We're obviously leagues apart.

Glynda: In that case... Pyrrha Nikos is the victor of the match... again.

Glynda: Next time, you may want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent.

Mercury: I'll be sure to do that.

(Y/N): What was that all about?

The bell rings, which jolts Blake, who had started to nod off.

Glynda: That is all for today. And remember, the dance is this weekend. But you all have your first mission on Monday. I will not accept any excuses.

Everyone exits the arena.

As you are leaving, you hear Mercury and his Mint-haired friend.

Mercury: Learning is so much fun.

As you try to pay attention, you are quickly interrupted by a familiar blonde.

Jaune: Hey (Y/N), can I borrow your guitar?
