The opening ends to 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 continued to try and attack, but is blocked by the mace's hilt. Their weapons locked, Cardin forces himself up, towering over a struggling Jaune.
Deku didn't like the way Jaune was losing. He recalls the first time he battled with Bakugou. His technique could use some work.
Cardin: This is the part where you lose.
Jaune: 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.
"Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark." Kirishima winced.
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's voice causes him to stop.
Glynda: Cardin, that's enough! (he relents and walks away as she comes onto the stage, tapping her tablet)
"Thank God Miss Goodwitch was there to stop the fight." Uraraka said, relieved.
Glynda: 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 Pyrrha Nikos looks sad, Glynda turns her head to look at the losing warrior as he pulls out a smaller tablet with his low, blinking stats and that of his entire team)
"So, their aura's get weakened during a battle. Either in a spar or a fight." Aizawa noticed.
Glynda: 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 is better to move to a more... defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?
"Her words are just gonna encourage others to bully him." Midnight sighs.
Cardin: Speak for yourself...
Glynda: (to the seated and standing students, such as: Yang, punching the air in anticipation; Weiss, shaking her fists with an excited smile; and Ruby Rose, 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!
"That sounds cool! This Vytal Festival must be like the UA Sports Festival!" Kamanari said, excited.
"True, but instead of just having UA having a competition, other schools will compete in the tournament." Tenya notes.
"Other schools are going against each other towards victory?? Sounds interesting." Tokoyami said, intrigued.
"Tsk." Bakugou wasn't really that enthusiastic ass the other. The Vytal Festival would probably be a waste of time.
The bell rings, and students start leaving while Pyrrha continues to frown sadly. Jaune, still sitting on the floor, hangs his head in shame as the scene goes dark.
