Chapter 6: I got challenged to a fight, that went well

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

After getting lost about three times I asked someone for directions to the place I could get some food. It took me about twenty minutes before I found a secluded spot away from everyone and have food in the form of some fruit, a sandwich, and some juice. I looked around to make sure no one was around as I pulled out my scroll and started a video call with mom. After a minute and a few grapes eaten she picked up and I saw her and my aunt sitting at a table.

“Hi mom, hi auntie!” I greeted. Mother smiled at me while my aunt gave me an odd look.

“Viri, why are you wearing a schools uniform?” she asked me. I shifted a bit at her question.

“Umm, I kinda got mistaken for a student of Beacon Academy and dragged me here.” I told her. She stared at me before started to laugh. I went red at her laughing. “I-It’s not funny!”

“Oh my dear, it’s really is!” she said as she laughed, so much so that she fell down from her seat. I groaned at this and looked at mom.

“So yeah, during the first hour I’ve been here I been mistaken for a student and now I’m in school… I think?” I said in a way that I was questioning myself. Mother chuckled at my words.

“It’s a combat school for Huntsmen in training and judging by your uniform, you’ve gotten yourself into the prestigious halls of Beacon Academy, one of Remnants top combat schools.” Mother informed me, her smile never faltering.

“Top combat school huh…” I said, taking a sip from my juice. I shook my head and continued. “Anyway, I don’t know what I supposed to do right now. One of the teachers asked me who I was and said that there’s no record of me anywhere in their database. It’s like I just appeared and walked right in.”

“Didn’t you do just that?” my aunt said, getting up from the floor from her laughing fit. “And as for what you should do, I say you should stick around.”

Both me and Mother looked at her, I blinked a few times at her, “Umm, what?”

“Look, as my sister said Beacon Academy is one of the top combat schools in that world, and we may have trained you since you were little there’s no reason for you to keep learning, heck from a different person will make a difference.” she then looked at mother. “But that’s just my thought, what’s yours?”

“Sparring against other Huntsmen and Huntresses, hasn’t this been some sort of dream of yours?” Mother asked me. I thought about it for a few moments at what she said.

“Well… sure we spar for training but it’s always with you or auntie. I guessed training with others would be nice… wait are you saying I can stick around for a time here?” I asked mother.

“I don’t see why not, I can even enroll you if you so wished.” She said, snapping her fingers and showing me some enrollment papers before they disappeared.

“Wow…” I said before an idea came to mind. “I could help the village with training to become huntsman or huntress!” This made them both blink at me.

“You mean that small village you went to the first time you went off world?” my aunt asked me.

“Yeah, Tak said he wanted to become a huntsman but can’t due to some… racial issues.” I told her. I remembered the talk I had with Tak and I wanted to help in some way. Maybe this was it? “What do you think mom?” Mother hummed in thought, leaving me to hope that she’d help.

Perhaps…” She said, still giving it some thought. She closed her eyes for a moment in deep thought but opened them soon after. “If I were to help him, I would need his consent.” Was her final answer.

I gave it some thought as well, if I wanted to help then I had to convince the whole village that it was a good idea.

“Maybe during a weekend I can go and ask him and Zecora about building a Huntsman school there…” I said out loud. Mother nodded, knowing she could help with the construction. “But there’s one thing that worries me; there’s nothing on me here. Again one of the teachers tried to look me up and found nothing.”

“They’ve attempted to search for a Viri Mal Kun, no one with such name was ever born into that world.” Mother said in an informative tone before adding. “Mal Kun was the name I gave you once you joined our little family.” She said. That made me smile a bit.

“Yeah… I guess I should go talk to the headmaster then about all this?” I asked.

That’s your decision, not ours.” Mother replied with yet another smile. I smiled back at her as I thought about it.

“Better do that then having it as a problem later.” I said.

“Well that’s a good plan, also if you’re doing this then you missions will happen during your free time.” my aunt informed me. I nodded at her as I finished my meal.

“Well I better be off, thank you mom.” I told her with a smile. Mom nodded before her side of the call shut off, leaving me with Aunty.

“Remember to study and do good in school!” was all she said before she too cut out. I giggled as I stood up and headed towards the school. Along the way, I noticed that something going on in the mess hall, kinda looks like a food fight was going on.

“Good thing I eat outside.” I muttered to myself as I continue on. Though I stopped in my tracks once I noticed the teacher from before sitting in the middle of all the chaos. He ate his lunch nonchalantly while various food flew above him. I stared at him before slowly continuing on as if nothing has happened. After talking to some people I soon found myself in the elevator up to the headmaster's office. I looked up at it and wondered if I have to ride the elevator to see him?

“Excuse me?” a voice asked from behind me. I spun around to see a woman there. She had short blonde hair which was braided on the one side. She wore glasses over her green eyes, a white dress shirt, and a black dress/skirt and a black and purple cloak. She adjusted her glasses as she stared at me. “Can I help you with something?”

“I uh, umm well…” I stammered a bit as I fidget a bit. She raised an eyebrow at me.

“You know your outfit is a little small on you…” she gave me a once-over. “What’s your name miss?”

“Uhh, Viri Mal Kun.” I told her. She pulled out a fancy scroll and tapped at it a few times. She soon frowned at it.

“There’s no record of you in our database-”

“Yes yes, I know that. I was talked about it with a teacher.” I told her. She frowned at me a bit more as her scroll started to beep.

“One moment.” she tapped at it. She read the message silently, glancing at me every few seconds before sighing loudly and putting away her scroll. “The Headmaster will see you now.” She said, gesturing towards the elevator. I then stepped into the elevator before yelping in surprise as the doors closed quickly and the elevator began to quickly ascend.

As quickly as it began, it stopped and with that, the doors opened. I was a bit shaken up from the sudden stop but I was able to see the lavish looking office that awaited out of the elevator. A single grey-haired man, probably in his thirties, sat behind a large desk. He looked busy, searching something through a large scroll tablet as if it were a computer. He reached over to a steaming cup of coffee and took a sip of it. His gaze soon landed on me and silence settled between us as he simply took another sip.

“I-” He raised his hand before I could say anything. The elevator doors closed behind me and began to move down, having been called to a floor below. He lowered his mug and gestured towards one of the two seats in front of his desk. I walked over and sat down in one of the two seats. He looked back at the screen displayed in front of him, tapping here and there before the elevator doors opened behind me. I looked back and saw the same teacher from before.

“I see you’ve gotten my message.” Spoke the Headmaster as he looked towards the teacher. The latter rolled his eyes as he walked over to us. “Now onto the matter at hand.” He said as his gaze landed on me. “You’re quite the odd, Miss Mal Kun.” He said. I shifted in my seat as he looked at me.

“I’ve been told that before.” I told him. The teacher looked at me before the Headmaster.

“Like I said in my text, I’ve looked her up, searched for her personal history but nothing. Nothing’s there.” He said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a neatly folded piece of paper before unfolding it and placing it on the desk, revealing it to be my test paper. “Yet she aced the revaluation test.” He added before sitting down on the chair next to me. The Headmaster saw this and looked down onto the answered test, humming to himself as he did.

“Interesting…” He muttered just above a whisper before placing the paper back down. “As for the whole no history ordeal, I don’t see much of a problem.” He said, pushing his seat out as he stood up. “I’m sorry to say, Mister Parker, but if she isn’t truly a student as you say she is, then her background isn’t of my concern. I can arrange a Bullhead to take you back to Vale by the end of the day.” He said, gaining a sigh from Parker.

“Sorry for giving you two a hard time…” I said softly. “But if there’s any chance I would like to attend school here.” Hearing this intrigued the Headmaster. Parker simply looked at me oddly before waiting for an answer from the Headmaster.

“If you wish to attend, you’ll need to enroll for the start of the next semester.” He answered. My shoulders sagged and my ears laid flat, hearing that I had to wait for so long. “But seeing how you’ve managed to perfect a test of one of my top professors, I can make an exception but you will still need to attend an initiation and if you succeed, you’ll be accepted into Beacon Academy without delay but if you fail, there’s always next semester.” He said, picking up his mug and taking yet another sip from it.

“Okay,” I said feeling more better after that. “Uhh, what’s this initiation? Another test or…”

“You’ll be sent into the Emerald Forest in search of some ruins which holds a few relics. Your task is to retrieve one relic, no more, no less.” The Headmaster answered in an informative tone, gaining a silent groan from Parker. “Parker will be in charge of monitoring your progress and will step in if a situation is dire. Your performance will be broadcasted all over Beacon, so be aware of that.” Parker snickered a bit at this.

“He’s been sued once over the fact that he once forgot to announce the whole broadcasting performance.” Parker said with a smirk. The Headmaster groaned at the memory.

“The whole thing sounds like it came from a book.” I said out loud. The two of them stared at me and I blushed. “Sorry, talking out loud again.”

“Anyway, if you’d like you can take your initiation tomorrow morning.” The Headmaster said, to which I nodded almost eagerly. “As for where you’ll stay, I’ll need some time before I can make a decision so I’ll notify you once I have. Scroll please.” He said, raising his empty hand. I took my scroll out and gave it to him and once I did, he gave it a look. Once he was done looking, he opened it and typed a few things faster than I could keep up with before receiving a short jingle. “There, you are now connected to CCT, have access to the Academy’s digital library and connected to the Academy’s wifi.” He said, handing me my scroll.

“Huh, thanks… hey, I got a few questions I like to ask.” I said to the two of them.

“Ask away.” Said the Headmaster while the other shrugged as he leaned back onto his seat.

“For this initiation, am I doing this by myself or will there be others?” I asked my first questions.

“Like he said, usually you’d wait until the beginning of next semester and participate along with others in the initiation. You’re an exception so you’ll have to do it solo.” This time it was the Teacher that spoke.

“Okay, my next question is for you,” I said to Parker. “Why in class everyone in groups of four?”

“At the end of the initiation, Ozpin holds a sort of a ceremony where he announces the passing students and form them into groups of four while making one of them the team leader.” Parker answered without delay. I nodded and fidget a bit.

“Adding onto that, am I going to be placed into a team or am I simply going solo.” I asked the headmaster.

“Depends on how well you handle yourself during your initiation.” The Headmaster answered, sitting back down with his mug in hand.

“That’s… right okay…” I fidget a bit in my seat. “Last question, can I get some bigger clothes? These one feel like they’ll rip at any moment.” I blushed at the thought about that. Parker heard this and shook his head, somewhat angry at whomever gave me this uniform.

“I might be able to help with that.” Parker said, getting up from his seat. “Is that all?” He asked. I nodded, not really thinking of anything else to ask.

“I don’t have any more questions unless you two have them.” I said to them. None of them said anything.

“Alright, follow me and I can get you a different size uniform.” Parker said, walking over to the elevator doors. I stood up and looked over at the headmaster.

“Thank you for your time sir.” I said with a small bow. The Headmaster nodded with a smile as the doors opened, revealing the blonde woman from before. She frowned at the sight of Parker but said nothing as she walked out and passed us. As the two of us got into the elevator and the door closed I spoke. “You and the blonde woman don’t like each other?”

“She thinks I’m a bad example to the students.” Parker said, pressing a button. After he did this, I felt the elevator go down. “I don’t necessarily disagree with her.” He said.

“Well, I can’t really put my two cents in since I only know you for a day.” I said with a shrug. “I’ll keep you informed later down the line.” This earned me a laugh from him. We rode the elevator down countless floors before suddenly coming to a stop. The doors opened to reveal a busy hallway.

“Come on, we’re close.” Parker said, taking the lead. I close followed behind, not wanting to lose sight of him. Luckily our destination wasn’t far and we stopped in front of a… dorm room? This made me tilt my head.

“Uhhh, this is a dorm room.” I said as I looked at him. “What gives?” He sighed before speaking.

“Give me one second.” He said, opening the door and walking inside leaving the door slightly ajar. I waited by the door for a minute or two before he finally walked out with a different size uniform. It looked my size. “I… your size is about the same as one of my former teammates.” He said somewhat saddened by something.

“Thanks.” I said as I took the uniform. “But that didn’t answer why we’re in front of a dorm room unless this is a storage room or something.” He frowned at this.

“This is the dorm room for Team INDG, I live here.” He said, shutting the door behind him. I blinked at this.

“Oh… damn it.” I cursed for thinking that’s it’s a storage room.

“Anyway, if you want you can change in there.” He offered, once again opening the door. I nodded as I stepped into the room and closed the door.

“Thanks for helping me Mr. Parker.” I said as I started to take the smaller outfit off.

“Indigo, my name’s Indigo or Indi for short.” He said, introducing himself before adding. “I never liked being called Mister, makes me sound old.” He said. I giggled at this as I folded the smaller outfit and went to the other one.

“What’s the name of your old teammate that I have the same size of?” I asked before stopping. I peeked around so Indi only saw my head. “Unless that’s something I shouldn’t ask, then I stop talking.”

“Her name was Dew but we mostly called her Dewm.” Indigo said, chuckling to himself. “It was a fitting nickname for her and a reminder to never piss her off.”

I giggled and smiled at him before pulling back into the room. I wondered what happened to Dew but I decided against it as I slipped into the clothes. I let out a sigh as I wore clothes that fit me. I picked the smaller ones up and walked out to where Indi is standing.

“Thank you for this Indi, this feels much better.” I said with a smile. He smiled a bit and nodded.

“No problem.” He said, finally locking his door. “You know, I look forward to seeing your performance tomorrow. It’s how I decide who joins my class.” He said. I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Well, I hope I can impress you and the headmaster.” I told him with a smile. “So… what now?”

“That’s your choice.” He said before walking off, hands in his pocket as he did. Seeing that I had time on my hands I turned and started to wander the halls, figure out where everything is. On the walk, I sent a message on what’s going to happen with tomorrow to Mother. I was humming to myself as I walked down the halls as I thought back to the class with Indi. Team RWBY I believe is interesting from seeing Ruby for a small amount of time and wondered on the rest of them are like. Team JNPR I hadn’t seen much other than the orange haired girl seems to like violence. And Team CRDL… ugh, I don’t want to know. The brown haired guy is just… no.

I continue on down the halls humming to myself as I went around the few corners, making a mental map of everywhere I’m going. As I was walking around I started to hear voices and as I turned the corner I saw the whole group of team RWBY. At the same time, Ruby saw me and smiled.

“Hey!” she greeted as she waved at me. I smiled and went over to the group.

“So you’re the new girl that came into class.” the blonde girl asked. I believe her name was Yang.

“Yup, that’s me.” I told them with a shrug. “Brought a lot of hell with me doing that.”

“What do you mean?” the white hair girl, Weiss, asked.

“Oh you know, getting dragged here by people thinking I was a student trying to skip class.” I told her.

“What!” Weiss yelled before looking upset. “This is outrageous, doesn’t the staff know who’s a student or not?!”

“Well if I don’t pass the initiation tomorrow then I won’t be.” I told them. The black-haired one, I believe her name was Blake or something, tilted her head at this.

“Professor Ozpin is having another initiation?” she asked.

“No, I’m going to do the initiation by myself and if I pass I’ll be a student, if not I’ll try again next year.” I told her. “For as to why, I guess I’m special.”

“I say, I heard you passed the test perfectly even though you weren’t here last semester.” Yang said before crossing her arms. “Can’t believe Professor Indi found out I was copying.”

“Because you’ve copied it from my test Yang!” Weiss proclaimed. “If you just studied then you would’ve done just find.”

“Have you seen his tests? There hard and tricky.” Yang replied. I watched the two go back and forth as Ruby looked at me.

“So, how did you pass the test?” she asked me. I blinked at her.

“Uhh, well I was homeschooled by my mother and aunt and the questions were the same ones.” I told them.

“Homeschooled?” Blake asked, looking at me with interest and I could have sworn her bow twitched a bit. “You were homeschooled and you passed Indi’s test with a perfect score. That’s impressive.”

“My mother was very strict when it came to training and studying.” I told her as some memories came back from those times. I shook my head and smiled. “Came in handy I guessed.”

“Yeah, I guess so.” Blake said. I looked around at the hallway before looking back at the four.

“So, what’re you four doing?” I asked them.

“We have a bit of time before the final class of the day so we’re just hanging out before we have to go.” Yang said, finishing up her argument with Weiss.

“Ah well…” I then realized something that I forgot, something that I should’ve realized beforehand. “Say, if for some reason one comes and changes into a school’s outfit and has both her or his bag and weapon taken from you, where would you-” I stopped when I heard some footsteps. I turned and saw the blonde woman from before walking over with… a riding crop in her hand, why? She also had my bag and Molten Coil, I see it floating beside her.

“Miss Mal Kun, I believe these belong to you.” She said, handing them to me.

“Oh, uh, thanks miss…” I didn’t get her name.

“Glinda Goodwitch.” Blake whispered. I tilted my head at this, ears twitching. That’s an odd name.

“Right, thanks.” I said, taking the two. She seemed surprised as I held Molten Coil.

“Interesting…” she then looked at the others. “Team RWBY, I suggest you hurry on to your next class.”

The four of them looked at each other before started to run off down the hallway.

“Oh!” Ruby said, turning around. “What’s your name!?”

“Viri!” I yelled back. Ruby smiled and waved as she chased after her team.

“Hey! No running in the halls!” Glinda yelled at them, moving in the same direction. I chuckled as I put Molten on my lower back and bag as well. I wonder where I’m going to sleep tonight? I went off to explore as I looked back at Molten Coil.

“I hope you didn’t hurt anyone.” I whispered as I continue on my way. Maybe I should ask Indi about where I’m going to sleep tonight?

I soon came to the library which made me happy to see. I went in and found a seat where I pulled out the book I got earlier today and put it down in front of me. I pulled my scroll out to check to see if I got any message from Mother.

Once the screen booted up, I was happy to see a reply from mother. Tapping on her icon, the message displayed itself in full before Mother’s voice could be heard.

“You’ve certainly had an eventful first day and it seems you’ll have another tomorrow as well with your big initiation. I look forward in seeing your performance tomorrow.” Said the recorded voice of Mother, the screen of my scroll displaying the words in the text. I chuckled nervously at the last part, feeling that she was watching me right now without me knowing. It’s both heartwarming and nerve-wracking. I sighed as I put in some wireless earphones into my ears and turned on some music as I started to read The Crimson Huntress.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Indigo sitting down onto one of the tables with an open book in hand and a few others already on the table itself. He took one glance into the open book and frowned before closing it and opening another one. I raised an eyebrow at him before looking back to my book. It was about a female huntress going around fighting off monsters and sometimes getting into trouble. It was a bit odd with how it’s written since it was like this was a journal instead of a story. Still I enjoyed it, even when she does mess up she seemed to always have something on the bright side to look forward to.

Like finding a nest of monsters that are trying to kill her, she noted on the bright side she found the nest. I read a bit more until I noticed someone across from me. I looked up to see the brown hair guy from Indi’s class. He smiled at me and started to speak. I wanted to turn my music up but I believe he would be still standing there. I turned it off and pulled out a headphone.

“What was that?” I asked, a little annoyed.

“I said hi there, haven’t seen you around before.” he said as he sat across from me.

“I’m new.” I said bluntly, hoping he gets an idea to go away. Sadly he didn’t.

“Well it’s nice to meet you, new girl, what’s your name?” he asked. I frowned at him as I looked up at him.

“Viri, can you go?” I asked. This made him laugh.

“Why would I just leave you sitting all by yourself?” he leaned forward and smiled. “I’m just here to give you company. For today and on.”

Oh lord, is he flirting with me? Ew, ew ew ew ew ew. I close the book and stood up. “I’m going now.”

“Hey now.” he said, grabbing my arm. I turned and was about to break his arm but didn’t, didn’t want to get kicked out before getting in. “I think you’re missing the big picture here, I’m a good looking guy and you’re missing out on a good opportunity here.”

“And I believe you’re misreading the mood here, back off and leave me alone.” I said, breaking his grip and pushing him back. He frowned at me and looked like he was going to do something. I moved a few steps back but he straightens up.

“Alright Faunus,” Oh lord not this again. “I tried to be nice but since that’s not working let’s try a different way; A challenge, I win you become my girlfriend, you win then I’ll leave you be, deal?”

I tilted my head, really he thinks he can just beat me and I’m his? This guy is dumber than he looks. “You know I can just say no right?”

“And I’ll make your time hard.” he said threateningly. I gritted my teeth at him, this is annoying.

“Fine, if beating you will make you bugger off then I’ll take this challenge.” I said. It’s just a fight between me and this guy, how hard can it be?

“Good, meet me in the training hall in ten minutes.” he said before leaving me. I shook my head at this.

“Just a fight between me and him, nothing to hard to deal with.” I muttered to myself as I looked down. “Better get changed, don’t want to mess this uniform…”

“You’ll also need someone to supervise the match.” Came Indigo’s voice. Looking towards him, I saw him holding up the pile of books from before. “That and you’ll need someone to keep Cardin in check. The guy likes to play to dirty.” He said, placing the books down on another table. I frowned at this.

“Are you busy in ten minutes?” I asked Indigo. He shrugged, looking down at the books before shaking his head. “Alright then, I need to change to something that I don’t mind getting dirty.”

With that, I went off to find a bathroom. If this Cardin is going to try something I better be ready… now, where’s a bathroom?


I stood in place in a training hall that Cardin said to come. I changed into my gray camo pants and camo tank top. I did some stretching as I waited. I saw Indigo there in the benches as he was supervising the duel, and I saw some others there. I saw team RWBY and JNRP there with Ruby cheering me on. I smiled as I saw Cardin came out.

“There you are, ready to get your ass handed to you?” I called out as I hopped in place. He simply chuckled.

“Yeah, but it’s you that going to lose.” with that I saw the rest of his team was there, weapons at the ready. I frowned at this as I looked at all of them.

“Hey! This is a one on one fight, you’re cheating!” I yelled at him.

“Oh? Did I say it’s was a one on one? Listen Faunus girl I said I challenged you, I didn’t say it’s a one on one fight. You just accepted it without me explaining it in full.” He explained with a smug look.

I cursed at this, he wasn’t wrong at this. I just wanted him to beat it. I sighed and pulled Molten Coil out and got her ready, “Well, guess I’ll have to beat you all then.” This caused them to laugh as they got ready to fight.

“Don’t even think about it.” Said Indigo, catching everyone’s attention. He had taken his jacket off before speaking. “The match cannot proceed without both sides having equally matched fighters. Mal Kun, sorry to say but you aren’t qualified to fight them all at once.” He said, tossing his jacket to the side with a frown. He put both hands on his hips and that was when I noticed the two metallic tonfas hooked onto his belt along with the same silver flask. I frowned and looked at Cardin.

“You little, you knew this was going to happen!” I yelled, feeling angry to charge at him. He just simply smiled smugly at me.

“Not really, but looks like you lose by disqualification. That means I win.” he said simply. Hearing this, Indigo could help but chuckle as he walked into the arena. I looked at him in confusion.

“Now what makes you say that, Mister Winchester?” He said, still chuckling as he crossed his arms. “If you don’t recall, when an opponent is not qualified to fight multiple opponents at once, the instructor or supervisor chooses who may fight alongside the unqualified student.” He said before quickly grasping his tonfas and unhooking them, twirling them expertly within his hands. He looked at me with a smirk. My eyes widen and smirked back.

“Wait, hold on that’s not fair!” Cardin said, looking at Indigo.

“Like fighting four on one is fair?” I replied as Indigo stood beside me. “I know this is dumb but, why are you doing this?” He shrugged.

“I’ve been meaning to teach him and his pals a lesson in a way I know they’ll understand.” He said, looking at Cardin as he looked more nervous by the second. “I’ll take his groupies, you’ll be okay against him.” He said knowingly. I smirk at him.

“Cakewalk.” I said. With that being said I looked at the four other as Molten Coil hummed in excitement. “Let’s go Molten.”

With that, I heard Indigo say go and I charged at Cardin, he panicked and brought his mace up to block my hit. It sent him sliding back as I moved forward. I heard the other three moving towards me but the sound of shots going off meaning that Indigo was handling them. I moved and saw Cardin was getting up from my attack.

“Well look at that, just me and you aren’t that lovely.” I said as I held my weapon in my hands as she hummed. “Ready for a beatdown?” Cardin growled at me.

“Shut up you damn Faunus!” he yelled, getting some muttering from the onlookers. “I’m going to make your life miserable you damn animal!” I frowned as I got angry at him until I thought of something that Mother did to me.

“First off, that was really really rude, and second I decided to do something that was taught to me by my mentor.” I got into a battle stance and motion for him to come at me. “Come come, bring it birdy.”

This made him angry as he charged at me. I waited until the last moment before sidestepping out of the way and taking a few pot shots at him. I heard my hits bang across his armor and made note of that. His attack also made a large hole in the ground.

“From looks on you right now you can take a few hits and your strength is great, meaning you’re built like a tank. But-” I saw him try and hit me but I kept sidestepping him and dodging him. “You’re slow and predictable.”

“Shut up!” he roared and brought up his mace to slammed down on me. I rolled out of the way as a shockwave of destruction went out.

“You also can’t keep your anger in check.” I said as I moved against him. I weaved around his attacks, taking more and more pot shots at him with each swing. One of them I saw his fist coming at my face. I bat it away with my hand and saw I left an opening for a kick from him. But he simply tried to hit me with his weapon. I jumped back and frowned. “You see, I left an opening right there for a kick but you went for a weapon attack.”

“Shut up shut up shut up!” he roared and pointed his weapon at me. “You damn animals think your so better than us, you and that damn White Fang and go to hell!” I tilted my head in confusion, White Fang?

I was brought back to reality when he kicked my side and knocked me to the ground. I shook my head and pushed myself up just to feel him kick me again and again.

“Filthy animals need to know their place!” he yelled with each kick. My area blocked his hits but he was using all of his strength with each hit. Soon I thought that this was enough as I caught his foot with my hand and pushed him away, making him stumble.

“I’m sick of all this hate…” I said as I felt Moten started to heat up. “This racism and yelling, I want to get along with everyone but people like you make it so hard.” My weapon started to hum as heat started to come off it. “I’m done with this fight, you’re done after this.”

“Oh please, you hit me a few times and didn’t dent my aura.” he said with smugness in his voice. I looked up at him and let out a deep breath.

“Because I was holding back.” I said as I took Molten in both hands. ‘Hope you can see this Mom.’

Flames burst out of my weapon as I brought it up. Cardin sneered as he charged at me. The flames moved down to my arms as he got close. He brought his mace up with an upward strike. I reached out and caught his weapon. His eye widens as the flames formed gauntlets of fire around my hands and arms.

“H-How…” he said before I smirked.

“Lot’s of training.” I said as I pushed him away. I moved in close as punched him. It seemed I went a bit too far as I sent him into the wall, making a Cardin shaped imprint in said wall. I blinked and looked at the gauntlets. “Note to self; work on easing back the power.”

With that said I moved towards Cardin and pointed my blade at him. He looked up at me with anger and fear.

“What… are you?” he asked me. I simply smiled at him.

“I’m Viri Mal Kun, nice to meet you,” I moved a little closer to him. “And I won.”

With that, I heard cheering from everyone around me. I looked and saw that Indigo was standing there with his arms crossed as the other three were on the ground beaten. How I did not know. I looked back at Cardin and offer him a hand up. He simply snarled at me.

“Come on, show some sportsmanship.” I said to him. He simply slapped my hand away and stood up, shakenly.

“Don’t talk to me like that you filthy animal or else-” he stopped as I point Molten at him.

“Or what, you hurt me?” I asked before stepping away. “Don’t dig a bigger grave that you can’t climb out of.” he simply stared at me with anger as I walked over to Indigo as he stared at me. “Did I go too far?” He shook his head before looking at CRDL as they tried to walk towards one of the many exits.

“Detention, the lot of you.” He said, stopping them in their tracks. Cardin was flabbergasted at this and was about to ask why but Indigo simply raised his hand. “Betting on a match that you’ve clearly attempted to rig in your favor will result in punishment.” He said before looking at me with a smirk and nodding. Cardin, not wanting to get into any more trouble, accepted the punishment without question and began to slowly limp his way towards the direction of Indigo’s classroom. I looked over at him and was about to ask him something but then everything started to get… fuzzy. I felt tired as I started to sway a bit. Guess that attack took a lot out of me.

“Are you alright?” Indigo asked. I looked up at him and opened my mouth before stumbling down to my knees.

“Just… tired…” I said between pants. Indigo walked up and helped me up, keeping an arm wrapped around his shoulder to keep me up. “Thanks.” He then helped me towards a bench. He then carefully sat me down, unwrapping my arm from his shoulder as he did.

“Seems you’ve used a little too much energy.” Indigo said with a chuckle. I chuckled as well.

“Something… new I came up with.” I said before sighing. “Just… going to take a nap for a little…” I soon passed out there, too tired to think anymore.

Author's Notes:

Yeah, I don’t like Cardin, he’s meant to be just a simple a classic stereotype of the "school bully". After reading him up it seems he’s also racist to Faunus. Sure I may have crank that up a wee bit much in the fight but in my defense when someone gets’ angry they act very differently.

Also, I want to let you all know that Viri will be going back to the land of Ponies and Faunus soon, this is sorta an arc that came out of left field and I’m enjoying.
