About two weeks has passed since I broke up with Blake, although, it hurts me to say this, but it's the best for the both of us. I continued with my special training as usual, but this time, I have some help from Pyrrah. I'm not too close with Team JNPR, let alone any other team, but I could use some help with perfecting my fighting style.

I quickly duck under the spear that Pyrrha threw at me, and then I charge towards her, holding both Eden and Azazel in sword mode. When I was about to strike her, I notice that she had her arm extended towards me, and I knew what this meant. I turned around and quickly grabbed her spear that was flying towards me.

"I though we agreed that we wouldn't use our Semblance," I said as I turn around to face her.

I handed the spear back to her, while she an innocent smile on her face.

"I'm sorry. But you can't expect the enemy to always follow the rules," she explained.

"*Sigh* Fair enough. Try to work on your body language while battling. You're telegraphing your attacks with your Semblance," I said, turning Eden and Azazel into their gauntlet mode.

"Stopping for today?" Pyrrha asked with a concerned voice.

"Yes. Things... has been rough for me lately," I told her.

"Yeah, I heard. Sorry that it didn't work with Blake," she said in a sad tone.

"It was for the best, really," I said, walking towards the exit of the arena.

"Hey (F/n)? If you ever need to talk to someone about relationships, I'm here for you," she said with a small smile.

"Jaune still oblivious?" I asked jokingly.

"Sadly, yes," she responded.

"Sorry to hear that. I hope that he figures it out soon," I said with a smile myself as I leave the training room.

'How can you be so dense, Jaune? I do not wish to call Cupid or Aphrodite for assistance,' I though as I walk towards my dorm.

When I was about to open my door, I heard Weiss calling for me.

"What's wrong, Weiss?" I asked.

"You need to talk with Blake. Since the news said that the leader of the White Fang is dead, she's been working herself to death, to figure out who the next White Fang leader will be," she explained.

"*Sigh* Fine. Where is she?" I asked, letting out an annoyed sigh.

"She's at the library. I hope you can try to knock some sense into her," she said, walking away.

Few minutes later, I arrived at the library and started to look around for the kitten. After a while, I found her, looking at one of the holographic monitors. When Weiss said that she was working herself to death, she wasn't kidding. She had bags under her eyes, her hair was a bit of a mess and her eyes looked red.

"Blake, are you alright?" I asked her with concern as I approach her.

"(F/n)! Y-yeah, I-I'm fine. Why do you asked?" she asked nervously.

"Well... judging by your appearance and all this paperwork... No, you're not doing fine. *Sigh* Blake, I don't know why you're doing this to yourself, but you need a break," I said to her in a serious tone.

"No! You don't understand. With Adam gone, The White Fang only got Roman as their leader. Oum knows what will happen now!" she said, getting a bit angry.

"Blake, you're in no state to do anything right now. You need to rest," I said to her.

"No! If I'm we aren't going to stop them, who will!?" she shouted.
