As the dark spirit awakens within Jaune, the once amiable and earnest Huntsman-in-training finds himself at the center of a malevolent power struggle. The clash between Jaune's noble heart and Sukuna's insatiable hunger for chaos threatens to shatte...
Ruby stepped back in fear as she was sweating at this feeling she was felt before she blinked and notice there was no red eyes as Jaune looked at her with worried with his normal blue eyes as he slowly walked to her, "Ruby? What are you going up this early?" He reached out in worried since they all need as much rest as possible before before his hands began to get to close to her, she flinched back as his own hands came to a stop.
"...Okay..." He pulled back his hands and sighed heavily, "Just... Go back to sleep red, you need your rest." He acted calm as she stayed silent as he made his way back to the log, sitting down but this time would be staring off in the forest, going back to his guarding position as Ruby would stare once more at him as she turns away and headed back to everyone.
"It... was just a illusion, I just need more rest is all..." She reasoned with herself for feeling such fear from her friend as a single gazed with what she saw was enough to inflict fear in her. She did however refuse to fear one of her closest and first ever friend in Beacon so she heads back to sleep as Jaune continue to guard until the sun had risen.

All four members of the team had continue to walk down a sunny road. Ruby is in front, looking at a map as Jaune stayed beside with Nora and Ren.
"So the next town is... uh-huh... uh-huh... We're lost." Ruby bluntly spoke.
"You got the map upside down." He walked to her side, this time her not flinched when he got close as he flipped the map around in her hands.
"Have you not learnt to read a map?"
"I-I do know! Just only on the scroll..." Ruby admitted as Jaune looked at her with a sigh and tried to smile, "Well the town up next is Shion, a town that my family use to visit during family trips."
___Just gonna switch writing styles for the time being___
Ruby: Oh yeah. Don't you have, like, four sisters?
Jaune: About seven sisters.
Ruby giggles as Nora nodded.
Nora: You know, that actually explains a lot.
Jaune: Huh?

Ren: Is that smoke?
Ren words caught everyone attention as they turned back to what was ahead of them, still a trail but there was smoke nearby, deeper in the forest as everyone prepared as they all ran ahead, Jaune being the faster one when Ruby isn't using her semblance would be the first to the town as the once peaceful down that he had once known was destroyed.
It seemed to be slightly old based on how the destruction looked but there was still smoke, indicating that it was not new. Sadly meaning that they did not get in this town in time to keep it safe.
