Jaune was thrown back after being hit by Nora with her hammer, and he fell to the ground hard, even with his aura, he felt immense pain all over, Nora was the heaviest hitter next to Yang and Pyrrha, but despite the pain, he got up, even though he could feel his entire body telling him not to.

But he couldn't stop, not until he silenced the voices.

Nora set her hammer on her shoulder and smirked at her leader, "What ya say fearless leader? Surrender?" she asked.

Jaune shook his head as he let out ragged breaths, he took another fighting stance and gave Nora a small smile, "You kidding?" He asked, "I could do this all day," he told her.

Nora giggled, "That's what I like to hear!" She said as she charged at him, hammer at the ready.

Up in the stands, Ren and Pyrrha were watching, both focused on Jaune with worry. Both could clearly see Jaune was pushing his limits, way beyond what he was used to, after all, Ren knew all too well how strong Nora was in terms of physical strength, as for Pyrrha, she worried about Jaune hurting himself or being injured terribly.

"What's going on guys?"

Hearing the familiar voice of a certain blonde brawler, Pyrrha and Ren turned to see team RWBY walking toward them, no doubt also coming here for training.

"Came here for a bit of training," Ren told them, "Right now, Nora and Jaune are sparring," he said.

"Nora and Jaune?" Yang asked with a surprised yet confused expression.

Yang walked over to watch the fight and saw that Jaune was simply defending or getting hit, he never landed a blow, yet, he was still getting up, despite his clearly tired and beaten frame. "She's really going all out," Yang said, "I'm also surprised Jaune hasn't been knocked out yet, Nora hits like a freaking Bullhead," Yang said.

Ruby looked over to Pyrrha and Ren, "Why's she being serious with Jaune? She knows he can't handle it," She said.

"Jaune asked her to do it," Pyrrha said, "Why Nora agreed, I don't know," She said.

Ren let out a sigh, "It's how we were taught," Ren said, "We were trained under a huntress that would frequent the orphanage we lived at, they would train us while they visited and she would always push us to our limit," Ren said.

"You guys did tell him this was a bad idea, right?" Yang asked.

"Of course we did," Pyrrha said, "But he wouldn't listen, he insisted that Nora take him as seriously as she does everyone else," she finished.

"He's been like this since yesterday," Ren said with a sigh, "I don't mean to sound rude, but it's likely because of what Weiss said, and I can see why he would be angry," He told the all-female team.

Weiss looked down in shame, "I admit, while I did not mean to say those words, they were to harsh," She said, "I will apologize when the spar is over,"

Yang looked at her with a raised brow, "Wow Weisscream, I'm surprised you're willing to apologize to him and not, ya know, be stubborn about the whole thing," She said.
