Chapter 3: Be A Man
A/n: Let's see how this chapter goes. Thanks for all of the views btw!
(Y/n) POV:
My eyes blinked open. I stared at the ceiling a few moments before yawning.
'Man. No nightmares tonight. New record.'
I stretched and sat up. It was still dark outside, and everyone was still asleep. I looked down to see Jaune buried in a sea of pillows and blankets. Only muffled snoring could he heard, or it could he suffocation. I didn't care. I hopped out of bed quietly and exited the room. The only clothes I had were the ones on my back. I smacked my lips, as I walked through the empty Beacon hallways. After a few minutes, the cool crisp air of mornings welcomed me.
"Let's get started."
I focused and channeled my semblance. A bright (f/c) aura formed around me. My tongue stuck out, and my energy continued to grow. The nature around me began to react to my growing power levels. The wind picked up, trees shook violently, even the ground began to crack. Chunks of rock began to float in the air.
'Man this is totally like going Super Sai-No! Focus!'
I closed my eyes focused as much as I could. Suddenly, everything went silent. My eyes reopened to see everything in a (f/c) hue. However, that wasn't the most interesting part. Everything was frozen in place. My eyes widened. I had done it.
"I've frozen time!"
Leaves, rocks, raindrops, and everything were frozen mid-air. I began walking around and occasionally pushing random stuff away. Just as I was about to take another step, everything returned back to normal. I gasped and fell to the ground. It was like someone had knocked the wind out of me.
'I guess I'm not used to this yet.'
After a few short coughs, I stood back up and nodded. A good practice today. I began to make my way back to Beacon, but something caught my eye. There was a tree that looked perfect to lean on and sleep.
'School or sleep?'
I nodded after thinking.
"Definitely sleep. I should totally right a book on priorities."
I happily strolled over to the tree and sat down. After making myself comfortable, I lulled off to sleep.

(Third Person POV):
In Professor Port's class, Weiss was currently fighting against a Boarbatusk. Her sword was knocked out of her hand, and she was knocked back by the Grim.
Everyone:"Weiss!"
The Boarbatusk circled arounnand charged again. Weiss tried to reach for her sword, but couldn't. Suddenly, the front of Professor Port's classroom exploded. (Y/n) burst through the wall with his sword.
(Y/n):"OH YEAH!!!"
A pistol appeared in his hand, and he shot the Grim right through its butthole. The Boarbatusk squealing pain before falling over. Weiss quickly went to grab her blade and then stabbed the beast to death. (Y/n)'s gun disappeared, and he looked at everyone. They all had bewildered faces. Suddenly, Professor Port snapped.
Port:"Mr. (L/n)! You show up right before class ends, destroy my classroom, and interrupt the lesson?!"
(Y/n) shrugged.
(Y/n):"That sounds about right."
Port:"Amazing! You are already achieving hunter status!"
Everyone:"What?!?!"
(Y/n) raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.
(Y/n):"Who dropped you as a kid?"
Port:"My mother did. Anyways, well done Ms. Schnee. You have what it takes to be a huntress. Class dismissed."
Weiss glared at Ruby before leaving. (Y/n) watched in curiosity as Ruby chased after her. Then he turned to the rest of RWBY and JNPR.
(Y/n):"What'd I miss?"
(Y/n) POV:
Yang:"Ruby was trying to help ice queen, but ended up distracting her."
Yang answered, and I nodded.
"Man...I wish I got to mess with her..."
Jaune:"What was that?"
I scoffed.
"You heard me, Jaune. I was going to mess with your crush."
He began to blush and nervously chuckle.
Jaune:"My crush? Nah. Weiss is just cute."
We all gave him skeptical looks. He continued to try to play it off, but we knew the truth. Nora then skipped over to me and poked my nose.
Nora:"Boop."
I swatted her hand away.
"What is it with you and people's noses? Is it your fetish or something?"
Nora:"Nope! I like to mess with people. Especially people who get annoyed like you."
I smirked. Then looked at her challengingly.
"Really? Then two can play that game."
Nora began to grin deviously. Ren stepped in.
Ren:"Let's avoid this potential disaster. Please?"
Nora and I gazed at each other before nodding.
"This isn't over, crackhead."
Nora:"Likewise, bum."
"I'm no bum!"
Nora:"Says the one without another set of clothes."
Yang:"You don't have another set of clothes?"
I looked at Yang.
"Do I look like I'm a rich person?"
Jaune:"You could try the thrift store."
Yang:"Ooo! Shopping! We should go now!"
Blake:"Shouldn't you be comforting Ruby if something were to happen between her and Weiss?"
She asked Yang. Yang then slumped sadly. However, she quickly looked at me. So did everyone else.
"What are you all looking at me for?"
Jaune:"You're technically the leader of your own team. Give her advice."
"You have your own team! You help her."
Yang:"Please. Pretty please, (Y/n)? With a cherry on top."
She begged me, while shaking her chest, but I scoffed and looked away.
"You're feminine charms won't work on me."
Yang then pressed herself onto me.
Yang:"Are you sure~? You wouldn't have known if you weren't looking.~"
"Bah! Where's my rape whistle?"
Yang then let me go and winked.
Yang:"I'll get your attention someday."
"That will be the day I put a bullet through my head."
Yang stuck out her tongue before skipping away. Blake followed after, but turned around to look at me.
Blake:"Just think about it."
Then the two left. I looked back at JNPR. Jaune slung his arm over my shoulder.
Jaune:"So...want to go pick up some chicks?"
I flicked his forehead, and he rubbed it in pain.
"Waste of time. Besides, shouldn't you be training some more? I saw you struggle during the initiation."
Jaune:"Screw you man! I still got in."
Pyrrha:"So what are we going to do today?"
I checked my watch and nodded in approval.
"Lunch. That's what I'm doing."
Nora:"Ooo! Can I join?!"
"Unless you're paying for your own. Then no."
Nora:"Aww..."
Ren:"Don't worry. I'll pay."
Nora then hugged Ren.
Nora:"Thanks, Renny!"
Jaune and I snickered.
"Renny?"
Ren sighed tiredly.
Ren:"Nora. I told you not to call me that."
Nora:"Oops. Must have slipped my mind."
"Whatever. I'm off, and I'm not waiting."
I exited the classroom and began heading into Vale. My associates followed after me, and walked beside me.
Pyrrha:"So (Y/n), I would like to learn more about you."
I closed my eyes and kept walking.
"What do you want to know?"
Pyrrha:"What is your semblance?"
I opened my eyes and turned to see Pyrrha looking at me with curiosity. Then I replied.
"It's very weak, I'll tell you that."
Pyrrha laughed.
Pyrrha:"Stop joking, (Y/n). You killed four Goliaths."
I shrugged and kept walking. After a few minutes of Nora singing random songs on repeat, we arrived at a cafe. I hopped the railing and sat down at a table. Several of the other customers looked at me oddly. However, I also noticed something was wrong.
"What? Never seen a hoodlum break into restaurants?"
Some of them began to get scared. My companions arrived and noticed the looks I was getting.
Jaune:"What did you do?"
I yawned and leaned against the railing.
"Clearing out the air."
My companions looked at me with confusion. I sighed and pointed at the bar. There was a dozen men, all in trench coats. They clearly were packing heat. My companions and I began to whisper to each other.
Jaune:"What should we do?"
Pyrrha:"We should help them."
Ren:"Clear the cafe."
Nora:"Break their legs!"
"I completely agree with Nora. Let's do this."
I stood up before anyone can protest. I then cracked my knuckles.
"Hey! You twelve goofy-looking shit heads. Didn't your mama say stealing was bad?"
The robbers flinched before standing up. Behind me, Jaune and the others had already begun clearing out the customers and workers. A robber began to speak.
Robber:"You made a big mistake by playing hero."
"Nah. Your mother made a mistake by giving birth to you."
Robber:"Why you little-"
He and the other robbers whipped around with guns. I smirked and let them attack first.
Pyrrha:"(Y/n). Look ou-"
The robbers opened fire. I watched as their bullets head straight for me before freezing in place. Around me, everything was frozen. I then rubbed my hands together deviously.
"Now where to start? Oh? Let's start with this."
I walked over to coffee pot and grabbed it. Then I went over to the lined up robbers and poured hot coffee down their pants. After finishing, I shook my head.
"Noo. Needs to be worse."
I then began kicking multiple times in each robber's crotch. About ten to thirty kicks were good enough. I then got bored and drew miscellaneous drawings on their faces with permanent ink. Mostly genitals and embarrassing messages.
''I'm a mama's boy.' That's a good one. Oh! 'I piss my bed at night.' That will get him hurt in prison. No. 'I take it up the rear.' Hehe.'
I wrote those messages and drew more pictures. My marker then ran out of ink. I grabbed the floating bullets and stuck them up the robber's noses. Then I saw a a broom stick. I picked it up and broke the handle into two. After sliding off the broom part, I twirled the sticks between my finger.
"Time for my awesome solo."
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(This song plays during this event. I don't own it.)
I began drumming on the robbers' heads. My hair whipped around, as I shook my head. Then I spun and skipped around, while randomly hitting the robbers in various places. I grated the stick on one of the robber's teeth. Next I performed a quick splits and hopped back up before whacking on of the robbers with all my might. It broke the stick, but I just grabbed a random pan and continued. I hopped on the counter and slid across it. My hands swung my makeshift drum sticks onto the twelve surfaces. After that, I backflipped off the counter and landed on my toes. I rapidly tapped the leader's head and broke the stick on one head, while denting the pan on another. Finally, I threw the pan away and snapped my fingers.
Pyrrha:"Out."
All of the robbers screamed in pain before falling to the ground. They writhed, screamed, and cried due to the pain hitting all at once. I began to bow.
"Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all night."
Jaune:"What the hell happened to them?!"
All of the robbers finally passed out from the pain. Some of the customers and workers reentered the cafe and laughed at my work. Nora began squealing with joy.
Nora:"Oh. My. Gosh! Tell me your secrets to doing this!"
Everyone turned to me for an answer. I just pulled out a slice of pizza I grabbed earlier and bit into it.
"Magic."
Everyone groaned in disappointment. I then walked back over to my table. Some cops finally arrived and took away the possibly crippled robbers. The owner of the cafe decided to have our meals on the house. To which Ren thanked me greatly, since Nora ordered seemingly endless pancakes. After a few hours of my companions talking and laughing, we began making our way back. I walked ahead alone at first, but JNPR decided not to.
Nora:"Hey, (Y/n)!"
I sighed tiredly before responding.
"Yes, Nora?"
Nora:"Why are you such a jerk to everyone?"
"The same reason you're so hyper."
Nora:"What's that reason?"
"Something for you to ask yourself. Now please give me silence."
Jaune:"Why?"
I started to get annoyed.
"For the love of Oum..."
Jaune slung his arm around my neck.
Jaune:"Come on bro. Where's that happy-go-lucky (Y/n) I remembered?"
"Dead. Gone. Not present. Need me to elaborate more?"
Jaune sighed. Then Pyrrha and Ren joined the three of us. Nora kept guessing the reason to why she was hyper. Jaune talked about his progress with Weiss. Ren didn't talk. He's starting to grow on me. Pyrrha quietly observed us. Occasionally inputting when necessary. I did notice that her eyes lingered on Jaune sometimes. Man. Jaune is missing out on what is right in front of him. Finally, we arrived back at Beacon. Before I entered JNPR's dorm, I stopped.
Jaune:"Hey. What's wrong?"
I scratched the back of my head.
"You know what? I'm going to bunk somewhere else."
Pyrrha:"Where?"
I gestured randomly.
"I don't know. Maybe a tree or a-"
Pyrrha:"No!"
I looked at her slightly surprised. She chuckled nervously and blushed.
Pyrrha:"Sorry. I just don't want you to get cold."
I smirked.
"Aww. Does Pyrrha worry about me?"
I asked mockingly. However, Pyrrha is somehow immune.
Pyrrha:"Of course I worry about you."
This surprised me.
"Huh? I usually would get slapped or yelled at. At least a denial."
Pyrrha:"Nope."
I stared at her for a bit. Those emerald green eyes weren't lying. I then nodded.
"You're an interesting one, Pyrrha."
Pyrrha:"Thanks. I think?"
I tapped my chin a few times before turning around.
"Take care."
I began walking away. Then Nora called out to me.
Nora:"Where are you going?"
"Exploring."
I replied. Then I added something before walking out of yelling distance.
"By the way, use earmuffs. Way more effective."
Nora:"Thank you!"
Jaune:"Hey!"
I smiled a little before heading to the courtyard. There was a tree that looked comfortable. However, someone was currently occupying it. It was Ruby. She seemed to be half-asleep. I walked over and sat down beside her. Ruby's eyes were rolling back, and she began to fall towards me. Then Ruby jerked awake.
Ruby:"Huh?"
"That crack wore off?"
Ruby:"Ahh!"
She screamed loudly. I winced and rubbed my ears.
"Apparently not..."
I groaned in pain.
Ruby:"Sorry."
I sighed and waved it off.
"So what brings you to this neighborhood?"
Ruby:"There's no neighborhood here."
"It was a figure of speech, speedy."
Ruby:"Speedy? What's with all of the new nicknames?"
I shrugged and leaned back on the tree. She then looked at me and asked.
Ruby:"So what beings you out here so late."
"Came to bury a body."
Ruby's eyes widened.
"I'm joking..."
She sighed in relief.
"Mostly."
Ruby:"I'm not going to even ask."
"What about you?"
Ruby:"Oh? I was just getting some fresh air after studying."
I nodded. Then I remembered about earlier.
"So how did it go with snow white? Did she freeze someone's balls off?"
Ruby:"We actually made up, and no. She did not freeze anyone's balls. There's no basketball court or playing field here."
I shook my head at her innocence.
"Poppy. Never grow up."
Ruby:"It's Ruby."
"Whatever. I have some 'leadership' advice."
Ruby:"Really?"
She looked at me curiously.
"Oh yeah. I have lots. The first step to becoming a great leader is to always treat your teammates as subordinates."
Ruby:"But they're my friends."
"Subordinates. If you befriend them, and they die, you lose team morale."
Ruby:"That's horrible!"
"I know. That's why it's so effective. Besides, you can order them around like slaves."
Ruby:"That's not very nice."
"I know. Why do people keep telling me this when they know I don't care?"
Ruby:"Maybe we want to see you change. Be nice."
"Never. In my lifetime at least."
We then went silent for a bit. Then I felt something weigh down on my shoulder. I looked to see that Ruby had fallen asleep. My eye twitched uncomfortably.
'Am I going to have to do something nice?'
I gagged for a bit, before uncomfortably picking up Ruby. I carried her back into Beacon and arrived at her dorm. I knocked and the door opened to reveal Blake. She looked surprised to see me.
Blake:"(Y/n)?"
She then looked down to see me carrying Ruby. Then Blake looked back up. I knew my eye was twitching.
Blake:"What are you doing with Ruby? And why is your eye twitching so much?"
"Bringing speed addict here back. To answer the other question, it pains me to do 'nice' things. It's like poison."
Blake giggled a bit before opened the door wider. I entered to see a sleeping Weiss and Yang. After setting Ruby onto her bed and tucking her in, I turned to Blake.
Blake:"That was very nice of you."
I shivered uncomfortably.
"Yeah. Don't remind me."
Blake and I walked out of the room. Blake closed the door behind her. She put her hands together and looked at me.
Blake:"I've been curious. Why are you so mean to others?"
I looked at her curiously.
"Same reason to why you wear a bow."
Her eyes widened, and she began to get visibly nervous.
Blake:"W-What do you mean?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Please. Stop lying. I know you're a Faunus."
She flinched. Then Blake removed her bow to reveal car ears. She then looked at me worriedly.
Blake:"Are you going to tell anyone?"
I shook my head.
"That's not my business. I won't snitch."
Blake sighed in relief. I began walking away.
Blake:"Wait!"
I stopped and looked back.
Blake:"Where are you going?"
"To sleep in a cardboard box."
Blake:"Really?"
"Well yeah. Ozzie never really gave me a dorm. That cheap old man."
Blake the nervously shuffled around.
Blake:"You're welcome to sleep in our room."
I raised an eyebrow.
"Really? A dude sleeping with four girls? Totally does not scream pervertedness."
Blake:"Well are you going to do anything?"
"Nah. I like keeping my genitals."
Blake:"Then you can stay as long as you don't do anything bad."
I thought about it for a second.
'Cardboard box by a tree? Possible hypothermia? Or sleeping with RWBY? Possible rape by Yang? Hmm.'
"I'll go with the Ms. Busty-and-grabs-a-lot."
Blake:"What?"
"Nevermind. Let's just go to sleep."
Blake and I entered RWBY's dorm. I plopped down on the floor. Away from those death traps of bunk beds. Before I went to sleep, Blake whispered.
Blake:"(Y/n)?"
"Yes, catwoman?"
Blake:"How do you feel about Faunus?"
I sighed. This was a common question between Faunus and me.
"I'm surprised you didn't know already."
Blake:"Know what?"
"What's my last name?"
Blake tapped her chin in thought before her eyes widened.
Blake:"You're part of the (L/n) family! One of the biggest supporters of Faunus equality!"
"Bingo. You win a prize."
Blake then looked at me sadly.
Blake:"I'm really sorry about-"
"Please. I don't need nightmares tonight. I'm trying to break my record."
Blake:"What's your record?"
"One day in a row."
I replied bluntly before turning over.
Blake:"So you don't hate Faunus?"
"No. I don't hate them."
She went silent for a bit then spoke again.
Blake:"Goodnight."
"Night, kitty."
I heard her take a sharp breath before laying down. I closed my eyes and prayed for no nightmares. Suddenly, Yang snored loudly. My eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
'What is it with blondes and snoring? I wonder if Goodbitch is the same?'
I shoved two of Weiss' dust crystals I "borrowed" into my ears and nodded off to sleep.
(Blake POV):
'He called me kitty. Only people close to me say that. However, I'm not complaining that it's coming from him. I guess it's because he's a (L/n).'
(Y/n)'s family was known throughout all of Faunus kind. They organized and funded peaceful protests for the equality of Faunus. They even managed to convince multiple villages to pass local laws banning the discrimination of Faunus. This improve lives of hundreds of thousands of Faunus. However, one day they were found dead. Murdered. All of Faunus mourned for their deaths. Their son went missing. Until there were rumors of the last (L/n) going around and killing those who discriminated against Faunus. He did do various other jobs, but never any job that hurt the innocent. A true born vigilante. However, he built the reputation of having the biggest mouth for a mercenary. That's why he's also infamous. I looked over to his sleeping body. I could only imagine the horrors of what he's been through. A sad sigh escaped my mouth and I lied down to sleep.
'I know you're rude and cold on the outside, but inside...'
I closed my eyes and began to drift off.
'There's someone kind and beautiful.'

(Y/n) POV:
I yawned sleepily in Goodwitch's combat class. Jaune was currently getting his butt handed to him by Cardin. He tried to charge at Cardin, but was out-skilled and overpowered. Cardin simply swung his mace and knocked away Jaune. Goodwitch called the match.
Goodwitch:"Mr. Winchester is the winner. As you can see, Mr. Arc's aura level is in the red. Therefore the official will call the match."
Jaune weakly got up, but Cardin knocked him down again.
Cardin:"Loser."
He and his team snickered.
Goodwitch:"Please refer back to your training books, Mr. Arc. We wouldn't want you to be eaten by a Beowulf."
Jaune:"Yeah..."
He then glumly strolled back over to me and his team. Jaune plopped down beside me, and I patted his shoulder.
"Look on the bright side, you weren't utterly defeated."
Nora:"Actually, he was utterly defeated. Jaune didn't even land a hit on Cardin."
Jaune:"Thanks for the comfort, you two."
Nora/me:"You're welcome."
Goodwitch:"Mr. (L/n)!"
She yelled out my name. I turned to face her.
"Yes, Goodbitch."
She scowled at my nickname for her.
Goodwitch:"Since you're so talkative today, let's have you participate in a match."
"Are you sure about that? Whoever fights me will become that laughing stock for all four years."
Then I heard Cardin scoff.
Cardin:"Such a cocky bastard."
I smirked and closed my eyes.
"If I'm a cocky bastard, then that makes you the bitch."
Cardin:"How so?"
He asked angrily. My smirk grew wider.
"There's only enough room for one asshole in this school, and it's going to be me. Not some bitch like you that thinks he's all that."
Cardin:"Do you want to go?"
"Sure. You and your band of pussies can fight me."
I then opened my eyes and stared at him.
"If you're not too scared to do it."
CDRL:"We challenge that bastard to a fight!"
Goodwitch:"Well then, do you accept Mr. (L/n)?"
I stood up and cracked my knuckles.
"Gladly."
Suddenly, the bell rang. I shrugged.
"Guess you four were saved by the bell."
Cardin:"It's the other way around."
I scoffed.
"Nah. I could beat all of you with both hands tied behind my back, my legs tied together, and blindfolded."
Jaune:"(Y/n). I think that's a little too much cockiness."
I shook my head.
"Nope. I want to make these four shitheads realize that they're on a lower class than Grimm."
I then walked out of the classroom and headed for lunch. Whispers of people shocked by my claims filled the air. Might as well just talk normally. I then arrived at the counter and grabbed a tray.
"Pizza?"
The lunch lady shook her head no.
"Strawberry sundaes? Please tell me you have that at least?"
I asked desperately, but the lady still said no.
Lunch lady:"Sorry kid. We don't serve that here. At least for today."
I dropped to my knees and held my empty tray into the air.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
I wailed in agony. Then my associates walked over to me.
Ruby:"What's the fuss all about?"
I tossed the tray away randomly and stood up sadly.
"They don't serve what I want."
I then pocketed my hands and walked over to an empty table and lied on top of it. I then overheard that Jaune was getting bullied by Cardin. This wasn't new to me. I knew Jaune was getting picked on, but that guy had more pride than Pride Rock. He wouldn't accept any sort of help. Kind of like me. Then I felt someone poke my nose. Nora.
"Nora. What did I say?"
I heard Nora giggled and several people sit down at the table. I turned my head and opened my eyes to see that all of RWBY and JNPR were with me. I groaned in annoyance.
"What's a man gotta do to starve in silence?"
Yang:"You'd actually want that?"
"Yes, atomic blonde. I love to sleep with abdominal pain."
I said sarcastically.
Yang:"Geez. A simple no would have been good."
"Too bad. I'm overdramatic."
Ruby:"Why do you sit by yourself? You can sit with us, we're you're friends."
"First of all, I'm lying down. Second, 'friends' is too strong of a term. I consider all of us meat bags."
Weiss:"Meat bags?"
"Yes, frosty. Well...you would be more of an ice bag per se."
Weiss scoffed and pouted. Then the two teams went back to their conversation about Jaune getting picked on.
Jaune:"Guys. I'm telling you that I'm alright."
Pyrrha:"Jaune. If you need help, you can just ask."
"I have a solution to your problem, Jaune."
Everyone turned to me curiously.
Jaune:"What's that?"
I yawned and patted my mouth.
"Simple. Be a man."
Jaune:"Be a man?"
Ruby:"How's that supposed to help?"
"Well considering that Jaune so far has achieve a status lower than any coward, he needs to grow a pair."
Jaune:"I hate you man."
"I aim to please."
Suddenly, I heard pained yelp from across the cafeteria.
???:"Please stop!"
A feminine voice begged. I turned to see Cardin and the three other Stooges snickering, while yanking on a rabbit Faunus' ears.
Cardin:"Hehe. Told you they were real."
Sky:"Man. What a freak!"
???:"Please stop! It hurts!"
My blood began to boil. I flexed my fingers trying to calm myself down. My fingers were itching to transform my rings into guns. Then Cardin yanked the Faunus' ears again.
???:"Oww!"
She began to cry. Cardin and his teammates laughed. I stood up on my table and gripped the handle of my sword.
Jaune:"(Y/n). What are you doing?"
I was approaching my breaking point. There's one thing being a jerk to people, but another is just too far. You don't discriminate when it comes to being an asshole. Especially to cute, innocent Faunus like bunnies. Blake then gently grabbed me.
Blake:"(Y/n). I understand what your feeling, and I feel the same way, but you'll get in trouble."
I shook her off and gazed at the four dead punks.
"I don't care, and Jaune, pay attention. This is how you be a man."
I unsheathed my sword and it glowed brightly. My anger feeding its already great power. I pointed my blade at the bullies.
"UNHAND THAT CUTE BUNNY, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!!"
I leaped into the air from my table. My launch created a shockwave that sent everyone's lunch everywhere. A loud roar erupted from my throat, as I drove my blade down onto my enemies. They all let out a high pitched scream, and I hit the ground. My sword created a crater and launched all of the bullies back. Cardin and his goons flew away and crashed into the cafeteria walls. I removed my sword from the ground and sheathed it. Then I heard whimpering and crying coming from behind me. I turned around to see the bunny Faunus crying.
"Hey."
I called out to her. She looked up through her tears. My hand gently rubbed her ears, and I activated my semblance. She then gasped in shock.
???:"I-It doesn't hurt anymore."
I nodded and removed my hand. She was about to speak, but I swung my hand behind me.
SMACK!
I backhanded Cardin across his face. He stumbled back and fell to the ground. I turned and looked at him angrily.
"Back off bitch. Before I set you in your place, again."
Cardin spat out blood and angrily glared at me.
Cardin:"Get him!"
Dove and Russel charged at me from the left, while Sky rushed from the right. I pulled the Faunus behind me.
"Don't worry. I have the perfect plan."
???:"What's that?"
I smirked.
"Make them all of my bitches!"
Sky reached me first. He tried to punch me, but I dodged and slapped him across the face. He tripped and fell face first into a table. Then Dove and Russel came swinging. I grabbed Dove's wrist and swung it back at his teammate. He ended up slapping his friend and confusing him. Then I slapped the two of them in the face. Russel tried to kick, but I directed his leg into his teammates' crotch. Dove let out a squeak before I backhanded in across the face. He fell to the ground clutching his juju beans. Then Russel charged again, but I tripped him, and he fell into Cardin. Cardin stumbled back, but quickly shoved Russel away. Then he drew his mace and growled.
Cardin:"Come on!"
Sky:"He's been beating us all up with only slaps!"
Cardin:"I don't care! He's dead!"
He and his goons regrouped. They all had their weapons ready. I smirked and taunted them.
"Alright. Amuse me."
Cardin roared and charged. I froze time and walked over to the kitchen. After grabbed various food items, I returned to the frozen losers. I shoved a banana in Cardin's ass, a stalk of lettuce in Dove's, a popsicle in Russel's, and a corn cob in Sky's. Then I placed all the chili peppers, lemons, mentos, soda, salt, cinnamon, and vinegar in team CDRL's mouths. Afterwards, I walked back in front of the rabbit Faunus and snapped my fingers. Time unfroze, and the horrible pain began for the bullies. They all fell on their asses and choked in agony. I erupted into full-on laughter. Everyone just stared in awe to what had happened. After a few minutes of gluttonous torture, I approached Cardin and his team.
"Enjoy the food?"
The four boys began to crawl up in terror. However, they backed up against the wall. I approached them and leaned in closely.
"Listen up you punks. I run this joint. If you got a problem with the Faunus, you've got a problem with me. Capisce?"
CDRL:"Y-Yes sir!"
I chuckled darkly.
"Good. Cause if I catch you bastards messing with anyone else..."
I grabbed Cardin's armor and yanked him close. Our eyes were mere centimeters away. I growled at him.
"You'll be begging the Grim Reaper to claim your souls when if I catch you."
I shoved him away and stood up straight.
"Now scram. Your essence here is making me sick."
They all scrambled away. I watched their asses covered in random food run. Then someone poked my arm. I turned to see the rabbit Faunus.
???:"Umm. T-Thank you for helping me."
I shrugged.
"Meh."
She then nervously tapped her index fingers together.
Velvet:"I'm Velvet by the way."
"(Y/n). (L/n). Asshole extraordinaire."
Her eyes then widened.
Velvet:"You're the (Y/n) (L/n)!?!"
She jumped near my face.
"Yeah?"
I replied nervously. She then began bowing to me. I sweat dropped.
"What are you doing?"
Velvet:"I'm deeply honored to meet you."
She replied while still bowing. I then crouched down and helped her up. Velvet looked at me with a confused expression.
"Hey. Let's not do that whole worshipping thing. It's my parents you should be honoring. Not me."
Velvet:"But I've heard of what you've done for Faunus kind! You're a hero to us!"
I shook my head.
"I'm no hero. If anything, I'm the bad guy."
Velvet:"You protected me from those bullies. You're not bad."
"But I'm not good. So that's that. Have a swell day, Thumper."
I patted her bunny ears before leaving.
(Third Person POV):
Everyone in the lunch room just stared in awe at what happened. Finally, Yang spoke up from her group of friends.
Yang:"How did he shove those things up their-"
Ruby:"Language!"
Jaune:"He was so fast!"
Nora:"Even faster than me on syrup!"
Ren:"And she's really fast under that condition."
Pyrrha:"Although I disagree that he had to resort to violence, I'm glad that he stood up for the girl. A truly noble person."
Nora:"I enjoyed it! All that salt and cinnamon! Muwa ha ha ha!"
Weiss:"Hmmphf! I don't see why the Faunus view him as a hero."
Blake:"It's because you don't know what his family and him have done or gone through."
Everyone turned to Blake with curiosity.
Ruby:"What did he and his family do?"
Blake closed her eyes and sighed before starting. She told them about his family's accomplishments, acts, and the tragic fate. Then a broad explanation on what (Y/n) did while on his own. This brought sad looks across all of their faces.
Ruby:"Poor, (Y/n). I think this is his coping mechanism."
Yang:"Or he could just actually be a total douche."
Ruby elbowed her, and Yang cried out in pain.
Nora:"Well I think he's a fluffy, cuddly bear beneath his badass shell."
Jaune:"I would phrase that differently, but I agree. (Y/n) was a really nice guy back then. Even his actions now show that, but his mouth...the words that come out of it."
Jaune shook his head in disapproval. Everyone then decided to go back to their lunches. Velvet left and rejoined her team to tell of the recent event. Then there were three girls in deep thought. These three tuned out the conversations and thought about what went down in the cafeteria.
Pyrrha:'You're really a complicated piece of work, (Y/n). Rude and unkind to the world, but the opposite when no one else is looking.'
Blake:'He really is a (L/n). Not just by the name, but who they were as people. I believe (Y/n) is truly amazing if it weren't for his loud mouth.'
Nora:"I wonder what kind of pancakes that (Y/n) likes? Maybe raspberry since he's always so sour.'
The three ladies snapped out of their thoughts and returned to their friends' conversation. Meanwhile (Y/n) was outside clutching a necklace and staring up at the clouds. A sad look was plastered in his face.
(Y/n):"I guess I am a (L/n) after all..."
He lightly chuckled to himself.
(Y/n):"Man. Dad would rub it in my face if he was here...if he was..."
(Y/n) then shook his head before sniffing. He pocketed his hands and began walking into the forest. A gust blew some leaves, and they rushed past (Y/n). When they cleared, he was gone. Only faint sounds of angry battle cries came from the forest, and the ripping of Grimm flesh. Just letting off some steam of past pains.
A/n: Hope you all enjoyed. Comment on what you liked and hated. 😁👍
