Stele (A RWBY story)

Going Forward (Part 3)

I sat with team JNPR for the class. I would see team RWBY steal glances back towards me, but I would ignore them. I started leaning to get ready and watch my favorite part if the class. Watching two students beat each other up.

Glynda: "Now, we have some time left before the class ends. Does anyone want to challenge another?"

Yang seemed to not be able to get up any faster.

Yang: "I challenge Stele to a match!"

Stele: "I would love to! It would stop any more ideas she has. But you would have to ask my sitters for permission."

Weiss was the first to answer.

Weiss: "Kick his ass Yang!"

Stele: "Of course the Schnee is in agreement! What about you my sitter from destiny?"

Glynda: "Knock it off Stele. I'm still not sure if I should even allow this to happen."

Pyrrah: "Well... Weiss seems fine with it as the main supervisor. And if you do go too far, we have a class of students. So It's up to Ms. Goodwitch if it is to happen."

Yang: "Come on professor Goodwitch! I need to show Ruby and Blake that he isn't much."

She looked to be putting some more thought into this.

Glynda: "Very well then."

Stele: "Wait a minute. If this is to try and make your team feel better, maybe you should rethink it."

Weiss looked at me with a smug look.

Weiss: "What? Even after you get permission to the fight, you are going to chicken out?"

Stele: "Alright fuck it. I was trying to be considerate towards little red. Didn't want her to see her big sister get beat. It would be like if you watched your sister get beat. I have nothing against them, only you Schnee. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when we first met."

I got up and went down to the stage.

Yang: "Are you not going to get your stuff?"

Stele: "What do you mean? I just need to take off my belt for a misbehaving girl."

I smiled under my mask as I undid my belt and smoothed it out into my staff.

Nora: "Booo. Not funny."

I looked towards Nora as she raised a lowered thumb at me.

Stele: "Alright ShortStack. You can always come on down one of these days."

It took a few minutes of waiting, but Yang had gotten ready.

Stele: "Oh, quite some fan service you're showing. Don't think it will change anything. Your lost to me will not change."

Glynda: "Alright. After the countdown the match will begin. The winner is decided when one loses their aura or surrenders. We will intervene if deemed necessary."

Yang: "Are you not going to use your metal arm?"

I formed my cuff arm for a moment, then put it away.

Stele: "Not from the start. If you really want it. Show me during the match that I'll need it."

Yang: "if you even get a chance to use it that is."

Ruby: "You can do this Sis!"

I looked to see Ruby with a big smile on her face waving at Yang.
