Jaune's life wasn't easy. The news of his fake transcripts made everyone turn on him. The people he thought he could trust abandoned him. His family disowned him. They either hurt him or turned a blind eye to his torment. Jaune was soon expelled. Ho...
Jaune Mercer is shown walking through the forests of Mistral. He sports a black cloak with a hood, sleeveless shirt, dark jeans, and black sandals. He sports sunglasses and a mask and has his hood up to conceal his identity, not knowing how many would react to the "Faker of Beacon."
He carries his duffel bag of belongings over his shoulder.
It's been a week since he left the Land of Darkness and since that time, he's been training and gaining new abilities.
He even discovered what his semblance was. It was Aura Amp. He found out when he checked the aura records on his scroll. The best part of a scroll is that once synced with a person's aura, it records their aura fluctuations. What Jaune noticed was his aura spiked when his life was in danger, like the incident in Forever Falls and the Grimm pool.
He wondered what else he could do with this semblance.
Before he left the Land of Darkness, he spent two days traveling the continent, consuming any Grimm he saw.
In order to get off the continent, he consumed a Nevermore, gaining its wings for flight.
He also consumed Death Stalkers, Ursas, and Beowulves, each one making him stronger.
However, he found out there were downsides to his newfound Grimm powers.
First, when he took a bite out of a Grimm, he only would gain a fraction of their power and strength. As a result, he needs to bite multiple pieces of Grimm to get all their strength, meaning he had to consume the whole Grimm. However, that was easier said than done. The Grimm would dissipate before he could consume them completely.
Second, although he got stronger, he only could utilize a fraction of his Grimm strength when in his human form. Only when he reverted to his Grimm form could he access his full strength.
Third, the natural Grimm did not see him as their own and thus would still attack him.
Jaune wondered what other weaknesses came with his newfound powers.
As he walks through the forest, he is greeted by a fireball. He quickly dodges it.

Jaune looks and sees the source of the attack. It was a Manticore.
It roared at Jaune.
Jaune smirks at the encounter. He drops his duffel bag on the ground.
Jaune's human appearance turns Grimm, and his hands and arms transform into claws.
The Manticore charges, ready to pounce Jaune. Just as it gets close, Jaune side steps and slashes off one of the Manticore's wings, both dodging the attack and injuring the Grimm at the same time.
The Manticore roars in pain. Taking its pain as a distraction, Jaune claws at its front legs, causing it to fall.
As it wails in pain, Jaune steps forward and digs his fangs into the Manticore's neck.
