The story start with Oscar Pine and Ruby Rose are training hand to hand combat whilst Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren and Dave Kennedy are looking on.
Jaune: Man, Oz wasn't kidding. Oscar's picking up on this stuff fast.
Oscar hits Ruby straight in her face. Ruby recoils from the blow and looks visibly angry.
Oscar: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!
Ruby hits Oscar back and he lands a few feet away on the ground as Jaune and Nora wince at the sight while Dave just silently laugh.
Ruby: Ha! Yes! I did it! (her brief moment of cheering is replaced with concern as she looks back) Oscar?
Ozpin: 'You forgot to engage your Aura, again.'
Oscar: Why didn't you tell me?
Ozpin: 'Because this method makes you less likely to forget.'
Oscar groans and gets to his feet.
Ozpin: 'Mind if I give it a shot?'
Oscar stiffens briefly while his eyes glow in a yellow light.
Oz-Oscar: Not bad, Miss Rose. But Oscar doesn't have the years of training that you do. Or I do.
Oscar's body shimmers green as Ozpin engages their Aura. Jaune, Nora and Dave realize what Ruby is in for. Oz-Oscar determinedly approaches Ruby.
Ruby: (nervously) Oh, ha, well, maybe we should uh... take a break.
Oz-Oscar attacks Ruby with a few punches aimed at her head, forcing her onto the defensive until he lands a blow to her face which knocks her back several feet. Oz-Oscar closes the gap with a leap and kicks her in the face. Ruby leaps at Oz-Oscar to throw a left cross which Oz-Oscar evades by ducking and retaliates with a headbutt from below.
Nora: Ouch.
Dave: Yikes.
Oz-Oscar: The next time you want to throw a left cross, remember to push off with the appropriate foot. And as always, do be aware of any openings.
Ruby: (strained as she sits up) Gooooot it.
Ozpin relinquishes his control and Oscar falls to the ground, panting.
Ruby: Oh! Hey. Are you okay?
Oscar: How is this so exhausting?
Ren: Your body isn't used to this kind of training, not to mention generating a defensive Aura on your own. It takes intense concentration at first, but in time it will become second nature, allowing you to deflect attacks and gradually heal your wounds. After that, you can begin focusing on your Semblance, whatever that may be.
Oscar: Semblance?
Nora: You know! Like your very own superpower! Everybody's got one. It's just a matter of finding it and mastering it. Ruby moves super fast, Electricity makes me stronger, Ren can mask emotions, Dave have a pocket dimension and Jaune... can, uh, um. Hmm.
Jaune: I can't do anyth—
Ruby: Jaune's like you!
Ruby takes Oscar by the hand and leads him over to Jaune.
Ruby: He hasn't found his Semblance yet, but we all know he will. And you will, too. We all just have to try and help each other get stronger.
Oscar: Cool.
Ren: A common philosophy is that a warrior's Semblance is a part of who they are. Some say your personality and character can define your Semblance while some claim that it is the other way around. Of course, there are still many who don't see a connection at all.
