(Six weeks later, POV Night)

I did not know where I was, that night, in that dream. It was dark, but for once I felt good. It was like I was on a cloud. No horror sight, no knife to his throat, no death, and no pain. I don't want to wake up. I just want to stay here, locked in my shell.

"Wake up, Night!" Dragon said, pulling the curtain of my bed. The sunlight really hurt my eyes.

"Damn it, Dragon... wake me up like that again, and I'll put my fist in your mouth..." I growled, straightening up.

"Sorry, man." He apologizes.

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen you get up last!" Resare told me, coming out of the bathroom.

"That's right. Did you have a good night's sleep for once?" Krystal asks me, putting on her uniform.

"Yeah." I whispered, rubbing my right eye.

"Hope it lasts !" Dragon told me enthusiastically. "Usually, you sleep three or four hours a night." He adds, getting up from Krystal's bed.

"Come on, get ready, you might be late!" Krystal told me.



(A few hours later, amphitheater)

Almost all of the first year classes were there, watching a fight, hosted by Professor Goodwitch. She pitted Jaune Arc against Cardin Winchester, who gave him a monumental beating.

"Cardin, that's enough" Professor Goodwitch told him, ending the fight. "Students, as you can see, Mr Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit to battle and that the official may call the match." She explains to us.

"Mister Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try ro refer to your Scroll during combat" She told him. Yellow takes out his Scroll and looks at his Aura level. "Gauging your aura will help you to decide when it is appropriate to attack, or when it's better to move to a more...defensive strategy. She explains to him. "We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now would we?" She told him. Cardin leaves the stage, while Jaune remains seated on the floor.

"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 wo choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale." Professor Goodwitch told us before the bells rang. All the students got up to go to the refectory.

I was walking out of the amphitheater with my team before Krystal spoke:

"Are you interested in participating in the festival tournament?" She asks us.

"Fuck yeah!" Dragon replied, cracking his knuckles

"Oh yeah !" Resare replied, rubbing her hands together with a sly look.

"Resare, don't shoot that face, please. You remind me of someone I want to kill." I said.

"Who ?" She asks me.
