-Your Pov-

You smirked as you stood with your team getting ready for the fight today. You were going to be fighting against all the new students today, and you were so ready to do this. Summer began to talk with you all, trying to come up with a team strategy, and you nodded every so often as if to give the impression you were listening. Her strategy was probably brilliant, but you had a better plan which was a lot less complicated. You were going to send Arlan flying, and get him to shut up once and for all. The thought of that alone made you happy, and then you started to crack your neck as you donned your red jacket.

Walking down into the ring, you smirked when you saw Arlan, and then waved at him, which seemed to set him off. Next to you, Qrow then blew a kiss at Morrigan, which makes her angrily glare at him, and she growls. This makes him smirk, and then Summer starts to complain how her plan didn't call for this to happen, and then ends up just shrugging and getting her scythe ready to fight Jay, who creates ice swords in his hands. She starts to talk about how cool that is, and then you smirk at her energy.

You look over to hear Kian say anything about how this is going to be such an easy fight, and this sets Raven off. When the bell sounds, you instantly dash towards Arlan, brandishing Rebellion to try and crush him. He blocks it with Yamato, and then the two of you begin your battle.

" You'll never beat me," he says simply, as he cuts your cheek again. " Your bonds with your friends slows you down, don't you see? Imagine the power you could have if you accepted your heritage." When he says this, you then pull out your guns and then clip him in the legs.

" I still have enough power to crush you right here," you tell him, and then the two of you continue to fight each other.

-Qrow Pov-

I smirk to myself as I kick Morrigan. She manages to block it with her staff, but then the kick still manages to knock her back a little bit. I follow it up with some attacks from my sword, and then she dodges them and then she regains her footing and then fires some various elemental attacks at me. " That's cute," I tell her, which only seems to set her off even more. She then increases the intensity of her attack, and then I have to dodge them and then barely manage to hang in there after a few hits.

" Do you take anything seriously," she asks angrily as more blasts fly from her, which I either dodge, deflect or just take head on. When she says this, I think of just how serious I am about everything, being a huntsman, protecting the ones close to me. But, I smirk and then kick her again.

" I seem to be doing fine against you without taking this seriously," I tell her, and then she dashes at me. She begins a series of kicks and blows, all of which seem to be getting faster as she gets angrier. It's all I can do to just keep up with her, and then I realize provoking her as much as I did might not have been my best idea. All I can hope is that the rest of my team is doing better.

-Summer Pov-

I have to keep dodging attacks from John and his weapons. His connected scythes make it nearly impossible for me to read his attacks, and I'm quickly put on the defensive. However, I also feel something trying to get into my head. I wonder if this is John's Semblance. It feels like I'm slowly slowing down a little bit. Even with my enhanced speed, I'm only barely fast enough to keep up with him, which is normally less than what I would be able to do.

I dash back in a burst of speed, and then look around to see my team engaged in fighting with the rest of the team, and I look for an opening I can jump in and help one of them, but all of their fights are too intense for me to get a chance to help them with. And so, I dodge another one of John's attacks, and then sigh to myself. I had been counting on using his joking nature to give me an opening, and yet he's being completely serious right now, which makes this a difficult fight for me.

-Raven Pov-

I growl to myself as I use my sword to block the attacks from the two twin katanas Kian uses. I find myself getting weaker throughout the fight, and in fact, he seems to be getting even stronger. So far, neither of us have been able to land a hit on each other, which is starting to make me lose my temper.

He keeps using the wings he has to dodge all of my attacks, and then his swordsmanship makes it so I can't find an opening to attack him. On top of that, he keeps getting stronger, and then I keep getting weaker. I curse the fact my Semblance is such a limited form of teleportation, so I can't use it to get the drop on him. On top of that, the bonds I have with my team aren't helpful right now so if I do end up teleporting myself to one of them, all it'll just place me in another fight.

I force myself to put all of that aside, and then I continue to fight Kian. I find myself being driven into a corner, and then I teleport next to (y/n) before jumping back to fight Kian. The two of us continue to fight, until the bell sounds, signalling the end of the fight.

I look at my team breathing heavily, as is the enemy team. On impulse, I rest my hand on (y/n)'s shoulder to support myself, and then he casts his arm around me to stand up himself. Qrow and Summer chuckle when this happens, and then I roll my eyes.

We say our goodbyes to the other team, and then head back to our dorms to rest, and then I know how interesting this year is going to be with our rivals.
