RWBY May Cry

Thrown into the Deep End

With a tense night of Yang's attempt at being a big sister for Ruby and Weiss's abrasiveness; Jae could have slept a bit more easier....however what comes for the next day will decide on how he gets through the remaining four years as Team Exercises and the first active test gets underway, could Jae end up stuck on a team that does nothing but argue? or could he find someone who'd help him out when he needs it the most.....

The answer is.....right now

Jae felt at peace for the morning; no one was yelling or complaining about snoring or arguing about who gets the bathroom first, he could almost mistake it all for a dre- "WAAAAAAKE UP LAZY BUTT!" an upbeat and shockingly enthusiastic voice broke the quiet as Nora was acting as Ren's alarm clock....from across the hall. Suffice to say this woke up a ton of other people too including Jae who was shaking the lingering fatigue out of his body and groaned; "How the hell does someone have that much energy in the morning?" was a question that Jae, Yang and pretty much anyone else who was within hearing range of Nora asked themselves as preparations began to dress, eat some breakfast and grab their weapons as the announcement from Glynda reminded everyone that they would be attending their first test soon.

Jae however was on the somewhat luckier side of things as anxiety was settling on him pretty hard; he barely ate much and the impending test kept him pacing around the locker room, the only solace he had was that most everyone else seemed to be worrying about it too: however his thoughts were shaken loose as he heard a familiar voice talking about teams and getting someone on their's...which so happened to be Weiss talking to a taller redheaded girl in armour. "Finally, once we get on a team together we will be unstoppable....the Strongest girl in class paired up with the smartest, there will be no stopping us from getting to the top of the hierarchy! we'll be classroom celebrities and the most popula-" she would be monologuing before getting taken out of her ambitious mood as she saw the one person who she did NOT want near her, let alone on a team. "You know, I'm gonna assume that it's the teachers that decide the teams, not us, so I wouldn't celebrate just yet...." Jae would say bluntly as Weiss paled when she realised he had heard her; "You....how long were you listening to our conversation?!" Weiss would snap at him as he threw her off of her tangent and in front of a similarly popular girl too.

"Weiss, I think everyone could hear you." Jae would point out to her as he noticed the redhead glance at him too; "In fairness, you were talking kind of loudly." she would say politely as she closed her locker door, "Be that as it may." Weiss would say to him through grit teeth as she didn't want to give off the wrong impression, "It's hardly polite to eavesdrop...Besides, the teams will be suited accordingly with complimentary skills to match each other...." Weiss would say as she played off his comment. Jae rolled his eyes a little as he listened to her talk; "And they will be teams that have the right person assigned to be a leader, which is why I am certain that you'll be made into something fitting with your attitude." Weiss would haughtily gloat as Jae sighed; "If I do then that's how it'll be, Teams are normally more then just the leaders." he would mention before the redhead spoke up; "That is a good point, I've planned to let fate decide on whichever team I'm a part of." the redhead would say with a small smile which made Jae feel warm and a little embarrassed inside as he smiled a little back at her.

"Hehe, thanks....I'm sure you'd do great." he would say as he wasn't used to people responding to his comments positively let alone acknowledging him at all, "No, she really doesn't need your support...do you know who she is at all?" Weiss would say to him, not wanting to miss a chance to put Jae back in his supposed place; "This, is Pyrrha Nikos...she's one of the highest graded students to come out of Sanctum Academy." Weiss would announce as Pyrrha smiled politely and prepared herself for the inevitable 180 that came with the instant recognition of her status, "Sorry, but I don't think I've really heard about that." Jae would apologise to Weiss's shock and Pyrrha's surprise, "She's been renowned for tournament bouts and has set new records." she tried again to see if this would spark something.
