Remnant's Military Gamer (Male Reader x RWBY)

Chapter 7 - Calm before the storm

Y/N Pov

I was having a spar with Qrow in a arena like classroom in Beacon. They've took me in for protection from this war but in return, i must help them back by either helping out in the inside or going outside to do missions to delay the inevitable

Qrow: Where'd you learn how to fight. You got some nice moves kid

Y/N: Professionals. Professionals taught me how to defend myself

It was hand-to-hand and Qrow was keeping his distance, studying my moves and what i can pull of if he gets close. I know that look very well, playing WBGO for 2 and a half years and being taught CQC by actual soldiers in the game, they taught me all the moves

I slowly move towards Qrow and he was not backing up, inch by inch i feel nervous on what he could pull under his sleeve. By then, Qrow advances towards me, he balls his fist and threw a punch at me, i block it with my forearm and he begins to throw a fury of blows

I retreat and back up, keeping my feet from being sweeped. And as i found an opportunity, i break my defense and threw in a kick just above the stomach. Blood comes out of Qrow's mouth and fell on his stomach, there i took this opportunity to pin him down

I deliver a punch on hks that could potentially kill him by breaking the bone on his neck but stopped a few centimeters away

I stand up being declared winner and Ozpin approaches me while clapping his hands in amazement

Ozpin: Very well done young Y/N. You do have quite the potential in helping us out from Atlas' tyranny...but you didnt have to go that far on Qrow

Y/N: The kick wasnt that strong plus he suffered light injuries, the blood that came out of his mouth is just scratches or biting in his lip, no organ has been damage or anything serious

Qrow: Kid's right

Ruby rushes to her Uncle to provide support as the kick that i delivered to him still stings

Qrow: Accidentaly bit my lip from the speed he had. Saw the kick coming miles away but the speed can almost be compared to Ruby's

Ozpin: I will expect alot coming from you young Y/N. Do not dissapoint me

Y/N:*Salutes*. You have my word Proffessor Ozpin

Everyone gave me a weird look as i put my hand up for a salute. Damnit, muscle memory made me salute...well, this is quite embarassing

Timeskip, Cafeteria

I was having lunch in the Cafeteria, i didnt have any friends besides Yang and Ruby. We sit at a table with everyone looking gloomy, the war has demoralized them, an all out attack could happen any time soon and certain death could be waiting for them

I could feel the same too. I was summoned so suddenly and i dont know when can i get out of this world. But at the very least, i feel a bit safe as the game's mechanic is still with me besides [QUIT] and [CHAT]. Every mechanics work just fine

Ruby: That was some amazing fighting skills, you totally beat Uncle Qrow's butt

The way she spoke was forced, as if she wanted to lift up the atmosphere a little but didnt know how to

It was a depressing matter. Its war and we are the primary target, we dont know if this meal could be our last, we dont know if this could be the last time we engage in a conversation

I...want to protect this people. Its the way how heroic men fought, is to protect the people who cannot fight, thats what my mentor said. "Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, never raise your barrel on the innocent and always shoot at the enemy"
