RWBY May Cry

Sparking the Powder Keg

As far as school work goes; Jae Cielo is doing great but Aura control continues to be a speed bump for him...
And to make matters worse: Cardin Winchester has decided to paint a target on Jae's back with his bullying and with those two catalysts; it's not going to take a genius to know that this kind of bottled up feeling will not go off quietly

Chapter Text

Days passed as Jae continued to train himself while trying to balance his school studies alongside trying to learn more on the Demons with Blake's help.

Over time, Jae was able to hone his technique little by little on his own to fight better but his Aura and training it to last longer had a little less progress then he would've liked; Jae wasn't sure what he was doing wrong about it, he had tried just about everything....he used trial by fire by sparring with Yang but all that earned him was a broken nose and a stern lecture in the Nurse's office from Goodwitch, meditation didn't seem to help much either as being alone with thoughts can be either good or bad...and for Jae; it wasn't good.

However Jae was still taking everything that the teachers threw at him seriously; one such lesson was combat training with Goodwitch, this particular sparring session had him pitted against Cardin Winchester; the two had long since butt heads and even in training lessons, the two were always quick to snap at each other.

Cardin rushed forward with a powerful swing of his mace though it missed when Jae side-stepped out of the way, the sword wielder made an attempt to swing at Cardin while he was on the downswing of his mace and landed a kick on his face.


The sight of Cardin swinging wildly following the kick to the face was a cathartic one for Jae as he followed up with another sword swing, however the combination of Cardin's angry swinging and Jae's aggressive style was not a good one as Jae got caught in the stomach with the upswing of Cardin's Mace; knocking the wind out of him and onto his back as Jae tried his hardest to keep his aura focused.

"You better bow out now Cielo or I can turn you into a stain on the floor." Cardin warned with a smarmy grin on his face as he raised his mace up high to add to his threat. Jae grimaced and was ready to swing a kick into the armoured boy's stomach when suddenly the lights clicked on with the sound of a buzzer going off.

"That's enough you two." Goodwitch broke the tension as the room illuminated into a larger arena with the other students spectating and watching a giant screen showing both of Jae and Cardin's icons; "Now, as you can see on the board here; Mr Cielo's Aura levels have been decently in the green however over time and attacks had slowly dwindled into the red. At this point in time; an official can call the match and declare Cardin the winner..."
