The scene opens with 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.
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.
Team SUPER watch as the blonde struggles to fight back.
Hailey: Poor Jaune. He's really trying...
Echo: Cardin isn't giving him a break either.
Obi: Yep. What school isn't complete without the occasional bully?
(Y/N): ...
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 Goodwitch's voice causes him to stop.
Glynda: Cardin, that's enough!
Cardin backs off and walks away as Glynda steps on stage tapping on her tablet.
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. 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?
Cardin: Speak for yourself...
Glynda then turns to the rest of the students.
Glynda: 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!
Once (Y/N) heard the words "combat tournament", he immediately perked up.
(Y/N): A combat tournament?! Did she just say a combat tournament?! Like fighting?!
Obi: Yes, that's what combat means...
Hailey and Echo look over at (Y/N) with confused looks.
Hailey: What's with (Y/N)?
