Star vs. the Force of Evil Male Reader x RWBY

Jaunedice

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 continues to try to attack but is blocked by the mace's hilt. Their weapons locked, and Cardin forced himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.

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

"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.

"Cardin, that's enough!" Glynda said. Cardin 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 both Pyrrha and (Y/N) look sad, Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and those 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's better to move to a more defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?"

"Speak for yourself," Cardin said.

Glynda looks at the seated and standing students, such as Yang, punching the air in anticipation; Weiss, shaking her fists with an excited smile; and Ruby, 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.

Nora tells an unbelievable story to her audience.

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

"It was daytime."

Nora talks to Blake, paying no attention as she is lost in her book, with Yang and (Y/N), who are hanging on her every word with their hands cupping their faces, "We were surrounded by Ursai..."

Ren, holding a cup of coffee, said, "They were Beowolves."

"Dozens of them!" Nora screams this as she stands at the table of Team RWBY, JNPR, and (Y/N), where Weiss is ignoring Nora and filing her nails. Ruby and Pyrrha are listening politely, and Jaune is messing with his food.

"Two of 'em," Ren said.

Nora, while Ruby, Pyrrha, and (Y/N) now look at a distant Jaune with concern, said, "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, said, "Jaune? Are you okay?"

Jaune, snapping out of it and turning back toward them, said, "Huh? Oh, yeah! Why?"

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