RWBY: LIFE AND DEATH - CHAPTER 17

During my first day, I had the unfortunate luck of having Cardin there to annoy me in every class, making my first day a sour one, if he knew how close I was to snap his neck, he would shut the fuck up, but alas, the guy was an idiot, an idiot that thought himself superior in everyway, so after classes I went to Professor Oobleck, and asked him a favor, mostly because he seemed like a guy easy to convince.

I reasoned with him that the best way to prove Cardin he was wrong was beating him at his own game, at first Professor Oobleck seemed unsure, but after a quick explanation to my plan he agreed.

My plan was to defeat Cardin’s team, why? Well, this would shut them up, and also would let them know first hand I can, and will kick their asses if they keep bothering every fucking second.

“Alright students, this is a match between team UNPR, and team CRDL, the battle will continue until all adversaries are knocked down, with their auras depleted!” Oobleck explained, a wicked smile on his face.

What Cardin didn’t know was, my teammates were going to forfeit, allowing me to 1v4 them, breaking their fragile egos, and their bullying strike, and if this didn’t work, well… I suppose I could use Nora’s plan of breaking their legs.

“Where is your team?” Cardin asked, a cocky smile on his face.

“I asked them to watch what their leader is capable of,” I replied with a smile on my face.

“BREAK THEM LEGS!” Nora shouted.

“I am planning a good victory meal, do you prefer fish or chicken?” Ren inquired in his usual calm tone.

“Fish,” I replied.

“It shall be done,” Ren nodded.

“Good luck!” Pyrrha cheered.

“You alone?” Cardin scoffed, “I alone can beat you,”

“You alone, wouldn’t last a second,” I taunted.

“Kill him!” Cardin shouted, and so the fight began.

With a smile on my face, I ran towards Cardin, striking him on the chest with my bare fist. Growling, he took a step forward, and tried to counter my advance with his mace only to hit my Halberd before getting a second punch to the face.

In pain, Cardin grunted, falling to the ground on one knee, pushing my advance. I dashed forward to attack him, forcing the kneeling Cardin to roll out of the way to dodge as I brought my Halberd down on him with great force, shattering the ground where he once stood. Doing a flip, I jumped into the air dodging the incoming bullets coming from his teammates, while launching my halberd at Sky Lark, knocking him down. Pulling a cord attached to my Halberd, I recovered my weapon with a swift motion, switching it to its assault rifle form.

Looking at Dove Bronzewing, I smiled, firing a few shots at him as he approached me in a fit of rage, then when he was close to me, I took a step forward switching my weapon to its high impact rifle form, twirling it around as I did so in the process blocking his attacks with it, all while gracefully positioning my rifle’s muffle on his face, “Boom.” Pulling the trigger, I blasted him with a point blank shot, breaking his aura, knocking him unconscious.

“I will kill you!” Cardin growled, running towards me like a mad man, without any form or strategy.

Sighing, I aimed my high impact rifle him, pulling the trigger once again , blasting the brainless idiot with a fire dust bullet, forcing his body to crash against the walls with enormous strength, “You lack skill, intelligence, and talent, please give up,” I commented as I walked towards him switching my weapon to its halberd form, stopping right in front of him.

Growling and seething with anger, Cardin smashed his mace to the ground unleashing a short column of fire coming from the fire dust crystal within his weapon. Taking a step back, I dodged the blast and then blocked Cardin's swing with my weapon, before he and Sky attempted to double-team me. Only for me to block their attacks with ease, before dashing towards Cardin with a smile on my face.

Throwing my halberd like a spear, I hit Cardin on the chest, my weapon bouncing on his aura back to me like a tennis ball, as I turned around grabbing it and swinging it at Sky all in one single motion, breaking Sky’s aura and knocking him down.

Seeing this Cardin rushed at me, swinging his mace like a dog with a stick, losing what little form he had in a blind attempt to hit me, with sigh I took a step forward ducking under his attacks, positioning myself behind him before kicking Cardin to the wall as I transformed my weapon into its assault rifle form before opening fire at him, as I did this Russel rushed at him, defending Cardin with all his might, deflecting almost every shot with his weapon.

Recovering from the kick, Cardin roared, smashing his fist to the ground as he and Russel charged at me, both gaining ground fast as I stood where I was looking at them with a challenging look. Once in front of me, they proceeded to try and strike at me together, demonstrating precision through their ability to avoid hitting one another during their combined assaults.

Unfortunately for them, I was very much accustomed to fighting many opponents at the time, resulting in me parrying their every blow with ease. In anger, and seeing his efforts being in vain, Cardin swung his mace around in a circular motion, only to be met with a blow to the chin by my rifle’s stock.

“Take this!” Seeing his leader take a few steps back in pain, Russel shouted, trying his best to assist him and buy him some time.

Dodging his uncoordinated attacks, I switched my weapon to its halberd form, before I swung it to his feet, forcing Russel to the ground. For an easy rifle shot, “Good night,” I winked, blasting Russel away, breaking his aura, and knocking him down.

“Stop dodging!” Behind me, Cardin growled, running at me, his pattern so painfully easy to predict, I didn’t even have to see when I took the shot, with the rifle on my shoulders, breaking his aura, and knocking him down.

“Was that sufficient, Professor Oobleck?” I asked.

“Yes, yes, it was very good,” Oobleck nodded.

“I didn’t hear any CRACKS!” Nora shouted. "I WANT TO HEAR THEM CRACKS!!!"
