Paradox - "Greetings"

Ink - "Hello!"

Celestial - "Good evening."

This was it, this is perhaps the moment that made everyone in the theater anxious.

It had been a full week now since Jaune Arc left Beacon Academy. 

His destination?

Nowhere.

Ozpin could relate to Jaune a bit. He recalled when he left Salem after she was far gone and was no longer the woman he loved. He felt like there was no goal, no light at the end of the tunnel. But he still pushes on, he will try even if he can't destroy Salem.

Ruby did have a goal, but now she was questioning if she even was doing the right thing. 

He was currently just outside of Kingdom of Mistral's borders in the region of Anima. How did he get there and why? Well Bullhead tickets were cheap and he figured that the forests there would make for great training.

Qrow was impressed with the teen's dedication to grow and all, but even he thought that going in the middle of a Grimm infested area was a bad idea.

What was he doing now?

He was resting against a tree his body covered in cuts and bruises. He let his Aura and Semblance do the healing.

The entire theater perked up at the sound of Jaune's Semblance, wanting to know what it was.

But the ones that wanted to know the most were Yang and Weiss. For the sol purpose to beat the knight.

Turns out his Semblance, which he called Aura Manipulation, was definitely a powerful Semblance, but not without some serious flaws. It's biggest flaw is that it requires intense concentration and that the things he can do are currently limited.

He could recover his Aura faster than anyone in the world, increase his defenses if needed, heal other people and probably his strongest skill, throwing powerful spheres of Aura that dealt serious damage.

Que widened eyes for everyone.

"Dude! That's busted!" Sun exclaimed.

"Such a powerful Semblance has never been heard before." Glynda exclaimed.

"Well Oz looks like you were close on the kid's Semblance." Qrow said.

Ozpin was shocked, he thought that just the ability to amplifying Aura would be incredibly powerful, but Jaune had more possibilities opened to him, with his Semblance. And if he was correct on how his Semblance worked even with his limitations, then Jaune could potentially surpass even a Maiden in power.

Ruby and (J)NPR, were impressed and a bit jealous at Jaune Semblance.

But one thing did hinder him. Whenever he would be low on Aura, his Aura would for some reason no longer protect him. At first he thought his scroll was bugged, but soon learned with a quick search that it was because he lacked training with his Aura and due to him having so much Aura he never needed to concentrate on keeping it active. So whenever his Scroll showed that his Aura was at 5%, which was still a lot even for him, he would be defenseless. Another weakness was that was lower than 10%, he could no longer use his Semblance.

Weiss's excitement grew thinking she had found a weakness, but... 'It's been months since then! Meaning he probably got over his weakness. Damn it!'
