Chapter 16 - Glynda's Assistant
So, when we arrived back at school, I headed off away from my teammates and headed towards Ozpin's office to learn where I had to head.
And I never reached his office because I was grabbed by the collar.
"Mr L/N, this way." Mrs Goodwitch said though gritted teeth.
She practically dragged me down the corridor towards the arena, and to her first lesson. Which ironically, would've been my first lesson.
~~~~~~
"As of today, I'll be teaching you, I guess." I said unenthusiasticly as I stood before the entire classroom. "I have no idea what I'm doing here so enjoy."
Glynda Goodwitch hit me round the back of the head with her riding crop, I think it's called before addressing the class once again.
"Mr L/N, has been chosen by Ozpin to help you master your Sebalance. However until we fit your new lesson into the timetable he will be assisting me." She did not seem happy about this arrangement, and to be completely honest, I wasn't suprised.
Trouble student on day one, Teaching assistant on day two. Doesn't look good for day 3.
The class went on like usual, Glynda asked Pyrrha Nikos to come onto the stage and the entirety of team CRDL. I didn't really know the extent of Pyrrha's fighting strength but if she was placed in this match up she must be strong.
~~
I was correct, the 'dream' team of team CRDL was destroyed by Pyrrha, personally I was very suprised.
I could tell her sebalance was magnetism, she deflected blades easily and was very agile. This must be Ozpin's new Maiden...
"Mr L/N!" Glynda called out to me, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Any suggestions."
"Hmm, team CRDL didn't use a sebelance so I'm not going to comment on that, however your formation is wrong. Cardin you have great durability and can take a beating. You should've been up front making chances for the rest of your team to attack. Your mace is great for beating shields and causes heavy fatigue on the arm holding the shield so if you could've wore her down you would've had a chance. Whereas." After my long speech I turned to Pyrrha who stood there staring at me. "Pyrrha Nikos, you took full advantage of the fact that most of their team is fairly slow and picked them off one at a time, showing fighting skill and brains, only using your sebelance very limitedly. Very well done." That was the longest speech I'd ever done.
Everyone looked at me slightly shocked and well team CRDL was angry. "You! How dare you!" Cardin shouted at me, enraged at my decision to call him out.
"Well, you could fight me and try and prove me wrong." Loki took over and my eyes turned black, my Aura became visible, gold.
Cardin took a step back and went off to infirmary with his team, practically running away.
"Tsk, I was looking forward to a good fight." It's been a while since I've had a proper fight, 1v1.
"Mr L/N, that was overboard..." Pyrrha muttered to me as she left the stage, but she held a smile on her face as she passed me by.
I summoned myself as knife and was twiddling it in my fingers whilst Glynda gave a lecture to the class about position or something. I just sat back on a chair and wasn't paying any attention.
"Okay class, we have time for one more fight before the end, let's see... team RWBY vs ... Mr L/N? Would you care to fight?" FINALLY!
"Sure." I stood up and my mask appeared on my face and my black eyes showed.
Once again my Aura shone, as I stepped into the arena. Team RWBY stood on the other side and stared me down.
Their all had their weapons showing, Yang's gauntlets, Ruby's Scythe, Weiss' rapier and Blake's swords.
From what I could tell, Weiss would be the support and Yang would be their main attacker. Ruby's weapon could shoot too, which would be a problem, I could create a bow but I'm bad at shooting so I'll have to work on that.
Blake was someone I wasn't ready for, I knew her two swords had many functions but that was it.
I decided to stick with that I'm good at, and create my two handed sword.
"Ready?" Mrs Goodwitch announced before shouting. "Begin!"
As I expected Yang charged at me, a simple punch with her right. I deflected it with sword and she stumbled to the right, she couldn't regain her stance quick enough however a shot from Ruby covered up her mistakes and I had to retreat for now.
"That would've been Yang out, Good shot Ruby." I said, before rolling sidewards as Blake tried to hit me from behind.
I stood up straight and decided that a two handed sword wouldn't work in this scenario, they're all too fast.
I threw my sword to the ground and it disappeared and in its place I gained a short sword and a shield. Like Pyrrha's.
I noticed a glyph forming under my feet so I quickly jumped and ice formed where I was stood. Ruby took a shot at me as I fell and I put my shield to block it but the shot sent be back a few paces.
"You're better than I thought." Loki said, smiling at his good fortune. "However this is going to be over soon."
I charged at Yang who was the furthest out field and she went to punch to again, her eyes were redder than earlier and this time I knew I couldn't simply deflect her punch. I ducked under and kicked out at her standing leg, and she clattered to the floor, as she went to stand up I hit her with my shield to keep her off balance and then kicked her out of the arena, she was still conscious, however being out of bounds means she was out of the fight.
1 down.
Ruby came charging at me, kean on avenging her sister, Blake followed not far behind her.
Ruby's speed was way to much for to to handle at once, I decided to calm her down a bit. I stomped on the floor and it cracked a lot, and Ruby poor girl tripped up and slowed down.
I took my chance and attacked her with my shield, it felt wrong to stab a girl so I dropped my sword and punched Ruby down, but as quickly as possible I had raised my a guard above my head as Blake came down on me. Her second sword came down trying to swipe at my side and I had to scamper away before that could happen.
However they'd learned their lesson and didn't give me a chance to think.
Weiss was next to charge at me, and she was very quick on her feet, attacking and retreating very quickly.
I had to get close to her, I formed a second shield on my arm and wow it was heavy but I didn't have a choice.
I went at her and she smirked and a shot fired at me. It was too quick to be dodged or blocked and it hit my ankle and sent me to the floor.
"Tsk, that hurt." I stood back up, my Aura quickly healing my wound as the girls regrouped ready to fight once again. "It would seem we're out of time."
As I said that the bell went, and the battle was called to a holt.
My mask and shield disappeared and I fell to one knee.
Wow that really took it out of me, Loki did so many things I wouldn't normally be able to do. That makes me feel twice the amount of fatigue after the battle.
Despite this, I managed to stand up and walked over to the rest of team Rwby as Yang had been taken to the nurse.
"Good fight, you got me good with that shooting Ruby." I smiled at her and she blushed and looked down. "Weiss, your talented but work on casting your glyphs slightly faster if possible, if you can manage that you'd easily have been able to take me out." I patted her head and she glared at me. "Sorry for of habit." I removed my hand and turned to the remaining member. "Blake, you need to work on being less obvious with your attacks, you went for my head every time you could and that made it easy to predict." She seemed to really take advice on board as they left me alone.
I thought back to when I met them, Blake gave me a note didn't she...
I remeber reading it but it was simply a page from a book, maybe if I figured out what book it was from it'd help?
I had a free period next so I decided to do a little research.
~~~~~~
Sorry if this part is crappy, I've never written a complete fight scene before...
This part was longer to make up for me not uploading for a while, so I hope you enjoy.
Oblivion, fading out.
