Chapter 25 : Attention Seeker

"Damn it!"

The soldiers of Atlas flinched back as General Ironwood slammed his fist on the table.

Since the destruction of Haven and the attack on Menagerie by the five-headed Dragon Grimm things had been extremely tense in Atlas. The few refugees which had arrived in Argus had been quickly helped back on their feet but as a whole the entire situation was catastrophic.

James Ironwood frowned as he fell back into his chair.

In the last few days he had been forced to deal with the other Councillors demanding from him to recall the patrol-ships so that Atlas would be protected as best as it could, which would have been the sensible thing to do if not for the fact that none of the other Kingdoms had kept standing Militaries. If the Atlas-fleet were to be recalled then the various cities where they had been stationed would be left weakened and defenceless.

For a man like Ironwood that was out of question.

Then there was that bastard Jacques Schnee who had been complaining to him about how he would lose money because of Mistrals destruction. The asshole didn't even pretend to care about the nearly ten-thousand casualties.

Not to mention with Mistrals upper class and Councillors having all been killed the Kingdom as a whole basically didn't exist any more and would likely fall apart unless something was done. He had already contacted Ozpin about the matter. (The person with the greatest influence still alive in the Kingdom of Mistral was fucking Cordovin and she was an Atlesian Officer.)

And finally there was the personal blow to Ironwood and his allies on Ozpins council, the death of Leonardo Lionheart a man who while not being Ironwoods most well liked acquaintance still had supported their cause for many years loyalty.

He sighed in depression. His original plan after the attack on Amber had been to arrive with a whole fleet to put pressure on the culprits along with strengthening the defences but now he would at best be able to get a single ship which he would need to use to ferry his students to Vale.

Ironwood really hoped that Ozpin had some sort of plan or solution to combat that horrid Grimm before another Kingdom fell. Still, of nothing else he would be able to get Penny a bit more used to people along with meeting that Faunus boy who saved Menagerie.

Shame that the boy didn't join Atlas Academy.

Combat training sounded fun, but this is kinda boring to be honest.

Watching Joan charge Cardin again, only to be easily dodged and batted across the arena by the mace was pretty funny though.

Turns out making Jaune into Joan didn't make him/her any better at fighting, she still sucks massively, like holy shit she's so bad at this... as she attacks again with a downward swing Cardin blocks it easily with the shaft of his mace, overpowering Joan even easier then in canon, Joan is faster, but weaker than Jaune from the slight body differences.

"This is the part where you lose." Cardin taunts while he pushes Joan's blade back.

"Over my dead-" Joan says before Cardin interrupts, kneeing her in the stomach making her fall to the floor as Cardin goes to finish her off with a mace strike.

A buzzer interrupts them as the lights power off.

"Cardin, that's enough." Glynda the Good dominatrix says walking between them as Cardin scoffs walking away. "Students as you can see. Miss Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red, in a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Joan is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match. Miss Arc, it's been weeks now, please try to refer to your scroll during combat, gauging your aura will help you top decide when it is 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 Beowolf, now would we?" she asks rhetorically. Technically I've been here for weeks, realistically I made a clone do all my work while I went and had an orgy with the girls back at the apartment, my clone just keeps to itself mostly, but it has been fucking Yang every night. I've not fought in classes yet, either in person or in clone form, I can't help but think that they're stopping me from fighting for some reason.
