Jaune continued his journey through the forest, well aware of the dangers it held. The wildlife and Grimm in the area were known to be perilous even to seasoned Huntsmen. However, Jaune was no ordinary student, and he had already demonstrated his combat prowess.

As he moved through the forest, a group of Beowolf Grimm, typically formidable adversaries, approached him with predatory intent. Jaune, unimpressed by their presence, raised his weapon, Yoru, and pointed it downward before with a swift and masterful motion, he unleashed a devastating slash that cleaved through the Grimm with ease.

The Beowolves were no match for Jaune's skill and power. Some were left on the ground, incapacitated, while the rest disintegrated into dark ashes, blown away by the force of his strike. Jaune had once again proven himself as a formidable warrior, turning the predators into prey in this perilous forest.

As Ozpin continued to watch the footage on his scroll, he couldn't help but be intrigued by Jaune Arc's abilities. Ironwood had brought the young man to Ozpin's attention, explaining that Jaune had managed to keep up with Winter Schnee, a highly skilled Huntress who had a strong chance of defeating even veteran Huntsmen.

Ozpin was well aware of the potential that Jaune possessed, and it raised questions about how to handle someone of his caliber. Keeping a Huntsman as powerful as Jaune around could be beneficial, but it also came with risks, especially considering Jaune's personality and potential alliances.

There had been discussions and negotiations between Ozpin and Ironwood, resulting in a deal that allowed Ironwood to head the security for the upcoming Festival. However, Ironwood's hesitation stemmed from concerns about keeping a close eye on Jaune Arc, who could become a significant threat if he aligned with certain individuals.

Ozpin knew that the situation was delicate, and he needed to consider all the factors involved before making any final decisions regarding Jaune's place within Beacon Academy and the upcoming Festival.

Glynda Goodwitch, the mature and experienced Huntress, was visibly shocked as she watched the footage of Jaune Arc's incredible skills. She had heard rumors about the boy's talents, but witnessing them in action left her in awe.

"How can such a young person do all of this...?" Glynda wondered aloud, her voice filled with amazement and disbelief. She couldn't help but look at Ozpin, who remained calm and composed, sipping from his mug with a small smile.

Ozpin, ever the strategist, contemplated Jaune Arc's potential. He recognized the immense talent the young boy possessed, especially in regards to his swordsmanship. Ozpin understood that trying to teach Jaune in the traditional manner, with everyday classes and routines, would likely be futile, given the boy's unique mindset and talents.
