Glynda: good Ms. Nikos keep this up and you'll do great in the Vytal Festival.
Now who wants to be next?
Mercury: I ma'am!
Glynda: good Mr. Black pick your opponent.
Mercury: I want to fight her!
Glynda: Mr. Black, Ms. Nikos has fought 4 people and I likely exhausted. Please pick someone else.
Pyrrha was about to object but Jaune signaled her to concede
Jaune caught Glynda's attention it must be regarding the student spies
Jaune: I'll take over for my partner.
Glynda: as you wish Mr. Arc.
Mercury and Cinder scowled there goes their plan
Jaune and Mercury leaves to get ready
Mercury came out first
Mercury: so did he chicken out?
But when Jaune came out he saw what his father told him to never cross
10 years ago
Marcus: son in the Assassin's League there is someone or people you need to avoid making enemies.
Mercury: what ya mean old man?
Marcus hits Mercury and continues and gave him a piece of paper
Marcus: if you see this or their helmet alone you know your fucked. Don't make an enemy of them no one can win against them. And I mean no one.
And I mean no one

Back to the present
Mercury pales knowing this is one of the people his father warned him about
Glynda: nice of you to join us Mr. Arc.
Now fighters get ready..... Fight!!!
Jaune knowing this is the enemy trying to get info on potential hosts decided not to give them too Mich information on his fighting skills and equipment
With the Vytal Festival on he will no doubt showcase more of what he has a d the enemy will be watching
Jaune opted to use the beskar spear instead good thing he never uses the Pulse Rifle unless it's against Grimm
Jaune launched flurry of strikes all pointed at vital spots
Mercury: 'jeez this guy is not screwing around!'
Mercury replies in kind with a barrage of kicks which was repelled by his vanbraces
The battle is so what one-sided but being from an assassin background mercury was able to reach the standard Mandalorian level
