The patreon is on Chapter 21 right now and there is some revelation on why Miles stopped training Jaune and there's the aftermatch of what happened after that revelation... jaune and mordred is so confused..]
{Three Years Time skip}
{3rd Person POV}
The the sun is shining, the clouds are white and fluffy, and School are boring as fuck.
That was what Mordred thinks to herself as she look out of the window and try her best to ignore whatever in hell the teacher is talking about.
'There's better use to my time than being here.. I can beat all of my classmates here and even most of the upper years... why can't I skip grade? Artoria skipped her last year here and she then goes straight to the Atlas academy... she really had to go to the most boring and uptight academy out of all of the academies, doesn't she? Atlas academy.. it doesn't even have a sick name like the rest of the academy... even Shade academy in Vacuo as rundown as it is got a better name than Atlas... who the fuck named their academy with the same name as the place it's at? That's fucking boring... and i'm kinda bored without Artoria here to fight with.'
She then let out a tired sigh and before she notice her teacher start to cough to get her attention.
"Would you mind telling us what's on your mind Miss Arc?" Her teacher mrs.Cass a short black haired woman with an athletic build that doesnt match her age asked her with a certain look on her eyes that remind Mordred of her mother when she starts to get mad at her for starting another fight be it at school or at home.
"Nothing.... I'm just confused but why are we learning about the grimm wall anyway? We already learned about it on our first year! Its basically pointless! We could had learn about more important thing like... Aura control?" If not for Cassy being a 45 years old veteran huntress, Mordred would had spit out more fire but sadly... Mordred have some respect for the old retired huntress..
"And why would it be Pointless, Ms.Arc? As all of you know by now and I expect all of you to know, Remnant are isolated by the Grimm wall for as long as we know... none of us know about what it actually is but we very well know that dark wall that pours out black shadows the same as the grimm's fur are dangerous... did any of you students seen the news the other day?" The retired huntress look at her students and one of them raised their hand.
"Yes, Mr.Wood." She told the brown haired boy and he then answers her.
'Wood... never knew that was his name... a stupid name...' Mordred thought to herself because she never really did care to remember her classmates name, she a bad girl like that you know? A straight up delinquent.
"The latest expedition crew from the joint effort of Atlas and Vale had come back with only 3 people out its 30 hunters and 150 soldiers that board the ship had came back alive, the rest had been killed by something in the wall when they were inside of it." Wood answered Mrs.Cass with a proud look on his face for fucking watching the news.. well unlike him, Mordred had more Important things to do like training with Jaune.
"Not something, Mr.Wood. but somethings... it would take more than a single thing to kill that much people alongside maiming the warship that they board.." she then look at Mordred. "So tell me Ms.Arc, is the subject of the grimm wall pointless."
Mordred looks away before she scoffs. "Well they just suck then! If I were there, I would had killed all of the grimms!" Her words make her classmates looks at her pointedly with annoyance and envy at her prodigious skills compared to them, suck to be them cause unlike Mordred they are just fucking average.
"What!? Y'all wanna fight!? I'll beat all of your asses!" She stands up from her seat and slammed her hands on the table. "I'll beat all of your dumb sitting asses!" She challenged her classmates and props to her, whenever they fought she always won the fight no matter how many of them had ganged up on her... and from what Jaune had told her months ago when she complained about not being able to skip grades was that the reason she can't do it is because of her suspension and frankly many detention from school.
All Mrs.Cass can do is let out a tired and shake her head at the usual sight of Mordred trying to start another fight. "Ms.Arc, calm down or do you want to get another detention?"
Mordred glared at her before she sit down and look away.
Mrs.Cass then decided to change subject into Aura now.
"Do any of you know about why we don't unlock everyone's Aura?" She asked her students again but before any of them can answer her, Mordred answered her questions first.
"Its because If a person unlocked their Aura, grimms will target them more because to them an Aura unlocked person is a fucking beacon Yada yada yada! Can we do something else? How about combat class? It's much more important than this considering that this is our second to last year of combat school?" Mordred grumbled to the retired huntress because God damn, she rather spent her entire day getting her ass beat by Jaune rather than listen to this boring shit.
Mrs.Cass give her a pointed look before she asked her while ignoring her question. "And why would the grimms focus on an Aura unlocked person rather than a normal civilian, Ms.Arc?"
Mordred frowned at her teacher because does the old huntress thinks that she doesn't listen to shit at the lessons? Well she actually doesn't listen to shit and more than 90 percent of her knowledge about anything not related to fighting come from Jaune.
because Unlike her, Jaune actually care about school... the poor guy is a fucking nerd with how much he studied her school books more time than she ever had ever read it, for the past couple of years Jaune practically tutored her in asacemics.. he a smart boy like that but even then she knows basic knowledge like this.
"Its because Aura is the manifestation of our soul and we basically let out our Soul out in the open with how it basically becoming our own personal force field... the grimm basically love eating our souls.. its obvious why they target people with Aura more and focused on them." She let out a smug look on her face because she knows that Mrs.Cass doesn't expect her to answered with this much details.
Mordred then think of how Jaune would explain this shit and thinks that Her little brother would give out a much much more detailed answer with him being a freaky Aura prodigy... hell she won't be suprised if Jaune knows more about Aura than any of the nerdy scientist in atlas, Jaune would probably explained about how the grimm have no souls or some shit and that's why the grimm target a person with Aura more because they want their souls.
"That is... correct Ms.Arc... that's good... I hope you're always like this.. it would do good for your grades.. not that you're failing, from what I remembered you placed 2nd on the last semester right?" Mrs.Cass Asked Mordred.
"Hey, the only reason I didn't ranked first was because i forgot to ranked my name and date!" She had endured much to get that grade.
she shivered as she remembered on the long sleepless nights that Jaune had tutored her about the subjects for her exams.. even when they are sparring Jaune would asked her questions after questions and if she got it wrong he would hit her with each wrong answers.
Jaune could be scary if it's about her future academics.. she knows why he is strict with her when it come to her academics knowledge but it's not like she needs fucking algebra to kill a grimm.. she wants to be a huntress for fucks sake not a fucking doctor.
Mordred guessed that if not for Saphron being too busy with applying for medical school she would had drilled her more about her school subjects so Mordred Doesn't fail her exams.. sometimes she is a little worried about Saphron with how she always have eyes bags under her eyes but hey, it's the price for becoming a doctor... and if she somehow doesn't get into med school... god knows that Mordred would do... nothing illegal... illegal in Mordred's eyes.... its fair to say that She would Commit Arson on an unspecified place of learning if that were to happen.
As Mrs.Cass starts to talks about more and more boring shit, Mordred sighs and can't wait for school to be over because There's no combat class today.... Mordred is itching for a fight.
'Wonder if Jaune is down for a fight? Hell what the fuck am I saying, he is always down to fight... he probably already finished his civilians school right now and is waiting for me at the cave.' She the look at the clock onto of the white board and read it. "Its 14:45... Jaune get out of school at 14:00 while I get out of school at 15:00... just 15 more minutes Mordred... you can handle this.. There's nothing that the great Mordred Arc Can't handle.'
20 second had passed before she slammed her head on the table.
'I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!'
---------------------------------------
After a grueling 15 minutes she had finally finish her last class of the day and is now running in the woods.
"FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM!!!!! I'M FINALLY FREE!"
She yelled while she run through the forest.
"The great Mordred Arc is free! No more school today! No more stupid classes! Isn't that right pipsqueck?!" She grab a squirrel and it squeak.
It continue to squeak before she let it go. "Fucking squirrel... you lucky I'm not hungry right now or I would had cook you right now." She then scoffed before she continues to jog through the forest for a while until she reached the waterfall.
"Well hope he's here cause if not it would meant that I had wasted my time coming here rather than going back home and meeting him there." She talked to herself before she jumped through the heavy waterfall and straight into the cave behind the water.
She lands inside the cave perfectly with how much practice she had jumping into it and when she look around she let out a smirk at the sight of her little brother sitting on the ground while his aura is flowing on his skin in a weird pattern.
From what she remembered of what he had said to her years ago, this is some kind of training for Aura control and how he would control his Aura to flow on him in a weird pattern akin to the waves from the sea, with each wave of the Aura he is controlling them one by one throughout his body, she doesn't know how it would help his control but what the fuck does she know about Aura control?
After 3 years of trying to train her Aura, the best she can do is focus her Aura on one spot now and even then it took almost all of her concentration to do that.
Meanwhile Jaune wouldn't even need to concentrate to do more complicated Aura control like what he is doing now.
Speaking of the sea, she would like to go beach again, the last time they had been on a beach was last year on Jaune's birthday, she had a feeling that the reason that he had asked to go on the beach was because he heard her talking about how nice it would be to go there a couple of weeks before his birthday.
Her little brother is cute like that okay? He wouldn't be her little brother if he isn't that caring... god knows how many heart he would break when he got older because right now with how charming and caring he is.. all of his female classmates is head over heels with him, add his athletic physique onto of that from hunter's training it's basically close to impossible for him to not charm his classmates... he's a fucking golden boy...
"Jauney boy! You been waiting for your awesome sister!?" She smirked and walked closer to Jaune.
Jaune then opened his eyes and give he'd a smile... that God damn Jaune smile™ she sometimes want to punch him because of his damn smile™.
"I hadn't waited for a long time, Mordred.. I only arrived here for only about 30 minutes now... I had helped Mr.Rock with unloading his ship.. he told me that he would sail to Vacuo to drop of some stuff in about 2 months." He then stands up and walk to the weapon's rack.
"Mr.Rock? Who the fuck is that?" Mordred's eyebrows furrowed because she never knew anyone named Rock before.. Orleans is a close knitted group of people, everyone here practically know each other.
"Mr.Rock.. you know.. the bald Jacked Sailor as big as dad?"
"Oh... you're talking about Dwayne... why are you even calling him Mr.Rock anyway?" She let out a chuckled because of how fucking Polite Jaune is.. its another difference between him and her.. compared to her, he is a fucking Saint.
"... well his last name is Rock.. that's why I called him Mr.Rock..." he give her an exasperated look before he throw her a training sword and she catches it with one hand.
"You don't know his last name?" He asked her.
"Fuck no! That name is as stupid as one of my classmates last name, wood... who the fuck named their children Wood and Rock." She then walk over to a more open space of the cave.
"Well... you do know that my name, Jaune, basically translate to yellow right?" He then put his sword ton his side with one hand relaxedly not even putting on a stance, not that she is offended that he didn't even put on a stance because since he had unlocked his Aura, She had never won a single match...
"Shut the fuck up... lets just start the fight, I'm fucking itching to beat you." And then with a smirk she launched herself at Jaune with a big grin on her face.
