As the class ended for lunch I began to follow the blond guy around, occasionally bumping into someone without my apology. I could see that he was a loner, no one to be friends with. It's as almost if he was the perfect centrepiece for what's about to happen at Beacon.

Me: What's up?

Aryan Guy: Oh, hey. You're that card-knife guy right?

Me: Ace Thire, pleasure to meet you. Erm...

Jaune: Jaune, Jaune Arc. short sweet and the ladies love it... he he.

My left eye twitched for a moment, feeling an annoying protrusion in my spinal cord, that pick-up line sounded like something you'd hear from a cheesy romance show.

Me: That's cool, so you're like some player? Or something?

Jaune: Well actually, no not really.

We walked for a while before I broke the ice.

Me: So, you seem like the underdog of this school am I right about that?

Jaune looked at me and sighed before nodding.

Jaune: I'm not really one of the best fighters, but hey! I did get in here.

Me: But you don't seem skilled enough to defend yourself though. Especially against those jerks in Team CRDL.

Jaune: I-well...

Stepping in front of him I punched his chest. He staggered back while clutching the area where I had punched him.

Me: Come on man, you wanna let those guys pick on you for the rest of your life? While they soak up all your dignity and your self-respect?

Jaune: N-no but.

Me: But nothing, listen here buddy, I'm going to admit, no offence but you're a pussy... and you don't wanna be the pussy of a prestigious academy.

I wrapped him hand around Jaune's shoulder, waving my hand in front of his face.

Me: You wanna be the hero! And you can't do that while a bunch of clowns continue to hold you back.

I said to him. While slipping a small white pill into his hand.

Me: Don't be a coward, for once do something good for yourself, you know what to do with that thing... Don't eat it.

I said, while patting his shoulder, and walking away.

Jaune stared at the capsule in his hand, he then looked back up at me to say something. But I'd already activated my semblance and slipped away.

Jaune: ...Well, I don't want to be the coward... And I don't wanna be a failure to my parents... or my great grandfather.

Jaune admitted to himself, he looked at the pill contemplating it and what I had said, Then pocketing it for some... 'future use'

A few hours later.

While in my dorm, watching some compilations on DusTube. Lilith opened the door and walked in, followed by Caleb and Diana.

Lilith: Hey Ace.

She called to me, flopping onto the bed beside mine.

Me: Fancy seeing you here Lilith.

I said, she looked from behind my shoulder and saw what I was watching. She giggled at a guy, who tried to jump into a pool only to realize that it was frozen, and he probably broke his assbones doing that stunt.

Lilith: Ace what's wrong with you? Ha ha ha!

Me: What? Can't a guy have his entertainment from time to time?

Caleb: True that man, bro power!

We fist bumped and returned to what we were doing.

Lilith: So Ace, what's the skinny for the day?

Me: Nothing, yet it's only been three weeks, there's not much you guys need to do... Look I gotta go. Hope you don't mind.

Diana: We understand captain.

She jokingly mocked, saluting me with a laugh.

I walked out and shut the door, looking at my watch. Surely that Jaune guy has already laid the Cyanide pill.

Me: But there's a lot I need done, bitch...

I stated with a smile, flipping out my phone and proceeding to call Juni- I mean my henchmen.

Henchman: Yeah Boss, what do you need.

The man asked on the other end of the line.

Me: Bill, I have your targets...
