The Creed of Remnant (RWBY X Assassin's Creed)

Chapter 18: Knowing One's Limits

Training arena, Beacon Academy, 1:00 pm

It was Ms. Goodwhich's class, Pyrrha was facing against team CRDL by herself and winning with relative ease. The rest of her team, as well as teams RWBY and EJEa were watching from their seats above. 

Jacob: Gotta admit. I was a bit sceptical about her, but seeing Pyrrha's technique in action proves she's the daughter of the Champion.

Aveline: True, although I see some of your technique too Evie.

Evie: We are sparring partners. The two of us just took notes.

Ezio: When did that happen?

Evie: What? We all have lives outside the group.

Finally, Pyrrha was able to defeat team CRDL. Cardin was the last one left, and was now on the ground, trying to stand up. He was interrupted by Glynda, who stepped into the ring.

Glynda: And that's the match.

Cardin: Lucky shot.

He collapsed

Glynda: Well done, Miss Nikos. You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament.

Pyrrha: Thank you, professor.

Glynda: Alright, now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match. Any volunteers? Ms. Belladonna?

Blake looked up from her book, a surprised expression was on her face. 

Glynda: You've been rather docile for the past few classes. Why don't you -

Grey hair: I'll do it.

Glynda: Mercury, is it? Very well, let's find you an opponent.

Mercury: Actually, I wanna fight... her.

He pointed at Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Me?

Glynda:  I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished the match. I recommend you choose another partner.

Pyrrha: No, it's fine! I'd be happy to oblige.

(Battle music, 2:11)

Seconds later, Mercury was in the ring with Pyrrha, both of them in their battle stances. Mercury was first to make a move. He charged foward and went for a kick, but Pyrrha blocked it and tripped her opponent. Mercury jumped back up and fliped back, retaking his battle stance. This Pyrrha was the one to charge, the two exchanged blows until Pyrrha was able to find an opening and knocked Mercury back with her shield, who stood his ground. He then jumped up and went for anothe kick, this time from above, but Pyrrha simply stepped back and blocked the next attack, which knocked her back. Mercury then continued his offence, with a series of kicks, all blockedm one of them was able to hit Pyrrha's spear out of her hand, she tried to grab it, but Mercury forced to block and knocket the spear over to the side. There was a short pause, seconds later Mercury went for his final kick, aimed straight at Pyrrha's head. Seeing she won't be able to block it, Pyrrha used her semblence and redirected Mercuries foot way over the course, making him spin around and fall to his knees. Mercury got what he came for though, he smiled and got back up as Pyrrha led another charge. In split second, Mercury jumped up and boosted himself with Pyrrha's shield, flying (almost) to the end of the ring. As Pyrrha was sprinting to give the final blow, Mercury stood up and turned around to Goodwitch.

Mercury: I forfeit.

Pyrrha stopped, running a bit past Mercury.

Pyrrha: You... don't even want to try?
