The opening ends to Cardin Winchester with The Executioner perched on his shoulder and Jaune Arc opposite him with Crocea Mors drawn, leaning on his weapon as if exhausted, in the spotlight shining on the Beacon Academy auditorium stage.

He looks at Cardin, who laughs at his opponent's tiredness, and Jaune gathers his strength to charge forward and swing his blade at Cardin, only for him to jump out of the way. Jaune looks back, surprised, as The Executioner 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.

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

Jaune: "Over my dead-!"

Jaune is cut short as Cardin knees him in the gut, making Jaune drop his sword and fall to the ground in pain. Cardin raises his mace and is about to slam it down on a worried Jaune just when the buzzer rings, the lights come back on, and Glynda Goodwitch's voice causes him to stop.

Glynda: "Cardin, that's enough!" (he relents and walks away as she comes onto the stage, tapping her tablet) "Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match." (while Jaune still lays on the floor in defeat and Pyrrha Nikos looks sad and Y/N looks disappointed, Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team) "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's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowulf looking at Y/N , now, would we?"

Cardin: "Speak for yourself..."

Glynda: (to the seated and standing students, such as: Yang , punching the air in anticipation; Weiss, shaking her fists with an excited smile; and Ruby Rose, shaking her entire body with enthusiastic energy while squealing softly) "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, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly. Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame as the scene goes dark. Y/N walks over to Y/N arms crossed and looks down at him with Jaune looking at him with Y/N shaking his head before walking away leaving Jaune to hang his head

The episode comes back to a zoom-up of Nora Valkyrie's turquoise eyes as she tells an unbelievable story to her audience...

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

Ren (off screen): "It was day."

Nora: (to Blake, paying no attention as she is lost in her book, and Yang, who is hanging on her every word with her hands cupping her face) "We were surrounded by Ursai ..."

Ren: (holding a coffee cup) "They were Beowolves."

Nora: "Dozens of them!" (she screams this as she stands at the table of both Team RWBY and JNPR, where Weiss is ignoring Nora and filing her nails, Ruby and Pyrrha are listening politely, and Jaune is messing with his food Y/N meanwhile is eating his food in peace trying not to fall asleep out of boredom)

Ren: "Two of 'em."

Nora: (while Ruby and Pyrrha now look at a distant Jaune with concern) "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 recurring dream for nearly a month now."

Pyrrha: (looking at her leader) "Jaune? Are you okay?"

Jaune: (snapping out of it, turning back toward them) "Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?"

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

Jaune: (as the others stop their distractions and stare at him) "Guys, I'm fine. Seriously! Look!" (he holds up a thumb while laughing nervously until his attention is focused on the members of Team CRDL, standing around a girl with brown rabbit ears jutting from her hair as Cardin laughs at her and Sky holds up his hands to his head in a mock interpretation of her unusual features) Y/N looks at this growling with Ruby noticing putting a hand on shoulder calming him down

Pyrrha: "Jaune, Cardin's been picking on you since the first week of school!"

Jaune: "Who? Cardin Winchester? Nah... He just likes to mess around! You know, practical jokes!"

Ruby: "He's a bully."

Jaune: (scoffs) "Oh, please! Name one time he's 'bullied' me."

Y/N lifts a finger he made you drops your books the other day lifts another finger yesterday he clicked on your sheath and extended your shield form blocking the exit trapping you and i had to help you get it unstuck Lifts another finger Oh and how could i forget yesterday when Mrs Goodwitch gave us our rocket propelled locker to store our weapons and armour he pushed you in and launched the rocket far from the school and once again i had to save your ass

The others are totally focused on him now.

Jaune: (attempts to laugh it off) "I didn't land far from the school!"

Y/N: Oh really i think differently

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

Nora: "Ooooh!" (gets up from the table and presents her diabolical plan with a not-entirely-sane grin) "We'll break his legs!"

Y/N: I'm gonna do more than that high-fives Nora

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

They all looks over as the laughing grows louder, mixed in with cries of pain from the rabbit girl when one of her ears are tugged on by Cardin.

Velvet: "Ow! That hurts!" (stops struggling and grimaces as she says:) "Please, stop..."

Cardin: (continues laughing as he turns to his cronies) "I told you it was real!"

Russell: (still guffawing with his teammates) "What a freak!"

Y/N having enough goes over to them and grabs Cardin's wrist and twists it hard

Y/N: If i were you Cardin I'd leave the pretty bunny alone She blushes from him calling her pretty So do yourself a favour and fuck off as he lets go of his wrist

Cardin: Fine I'll leave As he turns to leave he tries to punch Y/N before Y/N grabs his fist and throws him into the wall leaving a huge crater before glaring at his teammates

Y/N: So anyone gonna move or are you just gonna fuck each other

His teammates grab Cardin and take him to the infirmary Y/N sits back down at the table with everyone with either widened eyes or mouths agape

Y/N: What?

Blake: You defended a faunas why

Y/N: Why not just because they have animal features doesn't mean i should treat them differently besides I've gone through enough to know not to care trust me

Having gotten up from the table, Jaune looks back at his friends and sighs to himself before moving on with his tray table. He doesn't realize that Cardin is watching his walk of shame with a sinister grin when the scene cuts to black and the credits roll.
