It's been two weeks since the incident at the city. now team INPR and team RWBY are doing a team battle together for the upcoming tournament tomorrow. It would be a lie if they said their not nervous or excited. As they finished their sparring match they rested and talked about tomorrow's tournament, after that they decided to head back towards their dorm to rest.
------------
At the Colosseum it was pack with people of vale and other kingdoms. at the arena all 32 teams were standing their listening to the instructions, then all teams got allocated at round 1, first match will be team RWBY and team BRNZ from haven academy, team INPR match with team BRNZ will start after team CRMN (cinder team).
After that all the teams walk out the arena except for team RWBY and team BRNZ. Ian and his team walk towards team rwby "goodluck" he said "do your best" pyrrha nodded to them "yeah break their legs!" nora pump her fist.
after encouraging their friends. ian and his team walk towards the audience area to watch the match. Just like the show team RWBY won the match but they are alot more skilled and stronger than the show. Thanks to the training ian gave them specially weiss, her glyphs improved alot.
Ian team congratulated them "well, i guess all of those training aren't wasted." he said to them "yeah, thanks to you." blake said but ian shook his head "No. I just helped, It's you guys who did the action." he smiled at them and they nodded happily.
"WE DID IIIIIIIIIIT!.. is anyone starving?" ruby cheered happily then ask in tired tone "I may have worked up an appetite." said blake nonchalantly but her stomach growled loudly, we look at her surprised "whoa! it sounds like an ursa." said nora in amazement.
blake got embarrassed and we laugh "come on i know just a place." said yang and they followed her. ian and others arrived at the food stall and they ordered, "I'll have a bowl of the regular, please." yang ordered and a big bowl of noodles was place infront of her. ruby look at yang then ordered the same food "hmm... do you have anything with a low salt-" weiss ask but she got cut off as the food was given to her immediately.
blake just nodded at the food stall owner and he also nodded like he already understood what she wants. he dash inside the kitchen then came out and place the bowl full of fish infront of blake, who have a stars in her eyes and a droll at her mouth. Ian and his team also ordered, after that weiss took out a card and gave it to the owner.
"Aww weiss! what's the occasion?" ask yang "consider it thanks for sending me to the doubles round." said weiss smugly. just then her card was thrown back to her. the food stall owner cleared his throat and pointed at the machine blinking a word DECLINED. Weiss was shocked "what? How can my card be declined? I was barely into my monthly allowance."
Before the owner could take back the food ian gave him his own card, different frorm weiss blue card ian card is black and looked more grand. "Use mine." the stall owner nodded he swiped the card and got accepted he then gave it back to ian. Weiss seeing this got shocked "What? How? you have a black card?"
The others got confused at her outburst except blake who happily eating her fish. "What so special with black card? though it looks cool." ask yang weiss look at her like she's ignorant which is true because yang have no idea about credit cards. Weiss sighted and explained to them "The card ian holding is called 'Black Centurion Card'. those who hold this card are called elites and also wealthiest in the whole kingdoms. If they ask for a front row of any concert, even an extended hour when shopping or a tough to secure reservation of a world class known chef. They are also given a elite statuses in any grand hotels and they are also given a best airline lounges!"
weiss paused for a bit and breathed calmly then continued "and only few people own that card. and for you to own that card is to be invited." after saying that weiss and others look at ian in amazement. Who only eating his food calmly after eating he look at them and sighted "let just say i got connections too." he said shrugging.
"So your saying, your connections is much stronger than my father? that he can't be invited but only applied?" she said crossing her arms "hm.. yeah.. i guess." responded ian lazily. Weiss look at him for a few minutes then dash towards him and yelled "thats great! i never knew i have a friend who is much more stronger than my father both in money and authority! if he know's about this im sure he wont disturb me on following his orders. hohohohoho!" laughed weiss like an evil queen.
they look at her weirdly "oh no.. she's turning into a evil ice queen." said ruby "what's the difference between an invited and apply? ask pyrrha. Weiss composed herself embarrassed at what she did "ahem! their's a big difference, because an invite has much more privilege and authority than a person who applied." weiss explained and they nodded and look at ian in more amazement.
"Then that means you can get alot of cookies? and you didn't tell me!.... i mean us!... yeah.. us." said ruby pointing at ian "yeah! pancakes! alot of pancakes!!" yelled nora. Others just shook their heads at the two girls.
"You should finish your food, we still have our match." ian said to his team and they nodded and ate their food. A few minutes later all of them are done eating and now resting "so, are you guys ready?" ask yang "Of course! We've got a world-renowned fighter, a weapon master and master martial artist and also an elite, what's basically a ninja and i can bench five of me." nora said pointing at pyrrha, ian and ren. "we've trained all year, our weapons are awesome thanks to ian, Glynda barely yells at us anymore."
"and we're not nervous! The worst that could happen is we lose! Then it's just a few more years of walking around school with everyone knowing we're failures our friends will slowly abandoned us to preserve their social status, we won't be able to show our faces in class, no one will sit with us in the cafeteria, ren, ian and i have no parents, we have no home left to go to we'll be officially renamed Team LOSE-pr. Aha ha ha ha! Aha ha ha ha!" nora laugh turned to a sobbing.
"Sooo yeah. We're feeling pretty good." explained ren "don't fret. If anything, we should be looking forward to a fight with actual guidelines and not... well, murderers." said pyrrha patting nora at the back. "yeah, don't sweat it! We've all faced way worse before." said yang "Let's see: grimm invasions, violent extremists, a destructive sociopath." counted blake.
"And that's all while we were still in training! Oh, imagine what it'll be like when we graduate!" said ruby excitedly "Maybe then i'll be able to pay for a meal..." muttered weiss. ian look at them and shook his head "Don't be too confident, that's just a small part of the real terror of this world." ian said to them seriously. Then professor port voice was heard in the intercom calling for team INPR to head to the battle grounds.
"Well, look like this is it." said pyrrha they then headed towards the battle ground. at the Colosseum team INPR and team BRNZ facing each other. Ian now is wearing an orange armor the same design like madara and inside it is a black long sleeve shirt and black pants, a combat boot, a red cloak with black flame design, a big scroll attach to his back, a headgear with a uzumaki mark in it. His weapon consist of a gunbai with chains attach at the end of the handle and also a sickle connected with the chains just like madara weapon.
"Team INPR of beacon vs team BRNZ of shade!" announce professor port then the stadium was set just like the show a forest and mountain.
