Volume 1 - Chapter 16: First day at Beacon Academy (END)
Arena Pov.
Sora inspected of his classmate while he ran toward him. Nord Snow is the team leader of NUTS. He is a handsome young man with his white hair. Sora could see a pair of green shade on his head.
He has a purplish coat on him with his belt filled with bullets and two more revolver on his hips. 'Interesting,' thought Sora as he came near him.
"Hey, Hey Sora Light right? Nice to meet ya." Said Nord with a small grin on his face. He clearly didn't take this sparring seriously yet. He must be confident in his skill if he is this relaxed at this moment.
Sora ignored Nord's sword as he took the first attack of this fight. Nord simply took a step back as Sora's sword slashed horizontally toward Nord's neck as Sora missed him.
Nord whistled in surprise at Sora's ruthless attack as he gave Sora a look.
"Really now, I had to get the silent and ruthless guy from everyone available." Said Nord as he took his pistol and started shooting at Sora.
"Well, no more game, I guess, mate." Continued Nord as he continued his firing spree toward Sora as he ran toward Sora.
'He must be confident in his close combat mastery if he dare to come toward me.' Thought Sora as he saw Nord coming at him.
Sora used his sword as he parried some bullets aiming toward him as he dodged while retreating.
Nord saw Sora's action as he sighed sadly, as he knew he had to change tactics to reach him.
"Good guy, you have a sword and don't dare to engage me well. I can only come to you proactively." Said Nord as he rapidly fires at the feet of enemies, causing dust.
Sora raised his arm to cover his eyes in reflex. Sora is currently in a dangerous situation as his sight got reduced by his enemy unexpected action.
Team JSTA Pov
Tifa, Jean, and Atalanta were worried about Sora's current situation. They could see how bad Sora was from the audience seat.
"Hey!, Hey! This is bad for Sora shouldn't he try to get out of this dust surrounding him?" exclaimed Tifa in panic as she saw Nord coming to Sora's current position.
Jean shook her head in response as she denied Tifa's suggestion.
"Currently, Sora is trapped inside of the dust and he doesn't know how big the dust covers him."
"It would be reckless of him to get out of here, as he doesn't know what would greet him at the exit of the dust."
"He needs to do something about this dust, or Sora has to counterattack Nord's next moves."
(Please don't kill me if I'm wrong. I'm not a battle expert or anything)
"Moreover, we don't know the extent of Nord's power or semblance and Sora cannot take the gamble recklessly," Said Jean as she explained Sora's situation. It simply made Tifa and Atalanta even more worried.
Jean noticed their reaction as she coughed into her hand, bringing their attention back to her.
"Don't worry about it. This is Sora we are talking about. I believe he will surpass this trial." Said Jean as she assured her teammates.
This small comment appeased Tifa's and Atalanta's worried expression as they looked back in the arena.
Jean nodded in satisfaction as she was about to open her scroll to write an intellect about Nord Snow. She heard Atalanta and Tifa gasp as she closed her scroll in a hurry and tried to understand the gasp.
Jean was greeted by Nord Snow's action as he threw a grenade inside the thick dust. She bit her lips in worry as she hoped Sora would come out unscathed.
Moreover, that grenade didn't seem to be simple.
Back to the Arena Pov.
Sora closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He focused on his hearing, as his sight was currently useless in this situation. Sora needed a breakthrough from this ordeal. He took hold of his sword with both hands, ready to take action at anytime.
*Think* *Think* *Thunk*
"Shit," said Sora as he sprinted behind to escape from the grenade at his feet.
He doesn't know their radius, but he would definitely not protect himself from those grenades point blank.
Unfortunately, Sora was greeted by a kick from Nord, who appeared in his vision.
"Sup brother! Don't blame me, alright? So you should stay inside."
Sora:!
'He is here, but why? Is that grenade fake? Why would he dare to be so close?' thought Sora, dumbfounded, as he blocked the kick from Nord.
"Looking at your face, you must think about my grenades, right? Don't worry, they are special like!" said Nord as the grenade exploded in a + shape.
Sora:????
What is that bullshit? I'm playing bomberman right now???
Sora quickly smashed the ground as a geo wall blocked the explosion from hitting Sora.
"Tsk, no fun but reflex I guess…" said a sulking Nord.
"You are an actual piece of work, you know that?" said Sora to the infuriating Nord.
"Not the first one, buddy." Said Nord, as he tipped his hat at Sora.
"It's round 2 now." Declared Nord as he rushed toward Sora with two guns in his hands.
"close combat..? Then I'll satisfy you." Said Sora, as he thought about Nord's weird fighting style.
Nord sent a kick toward Sora as he dodged it lightly with a step back.
Sora counter attacked with a swing of his sword toward Nord, who rolled outside to dodge the attack.
Nord fired a swarm of bullets toward Sora as he calmly parried them with his sword.
Nord clicked his tongue in frustration, seeing his attacks getting dealt with so easily.
But he was happy to find a powerful opponent to hone his skill.
"Then how about this?" Said Nord as he threw both his guns toward Sora as they fired automatically their surroundings.
"How is that even possible…!" said Sora as dodged the attack by sliding underneath the guns toward the unarmed Nord.
That was the plan until something even more weird happened.
The guns thrown by Nord came back to his hand like a boomerang.
"Surprise? Don't be! I have many more gun techniques for ya." Taunted Nord, as he finally gained the upper hand in this fight.
He Stomps his foot, launching Sora in the air, and then fires his gun at him with style.
Sora was at the mercy of Nord's attack as his aura ate many bullets shots.
Fortunately, he reinforced his aura with geo, or he would directly lose this fight.
Sora directly rose from a wall in front of him as the wall gave him a breather.
Until he got attacked by Nord yet again, as he found him directly in the air.
"It's not the end, Sora!" shouted Nord as he fired even more bullets with crazy angles toward Sora.
Sora was caught inside the barrage as he helplessly ate even more bullets, as his aura slowly lowered on the screen.
50%.....44%....35%....20%....
'Wait for a gap…. wait… Here!' thought Sora as he saw his chance to come back.
He saw Nord falling down into the air. After all, he can't stay in the air forever.
So Sora activated his semblance and created a geo spear toward Nord's landing position.
"Troublesome…" muttered Nord under his breath as he dodged the spear in the air eloquently as he met face to face with Sora, who brought his fist to collide his face.
Nord reacted quickly as he tried to turn his face, but unfortunately, he got punched in the cheek.
His body went flying as he crashed on the door.
Team _UTS: He deserved that punch so bad…
Current standing
Nord's aura: 43%
Sora's aura: 20%
"What a nasty hit there, Sora" said Nord as he spitted the blood from his mouth.
"You too… I didn't expect someone develop his gun skills to this extent." Said Sora, as he really appreciated Nord's talent.
He reminded Sora of the male gunner from Dungeon Figther Online, a popular mmo back in the days.
"Hehe, appreciate that buddy and let's end this fight now! We took a long time, didn't we?"
"Sure, I'm fine with that." Said Sora as he readied his sword covered with geo.
Sora ran toward Nord as he dodged and rolled from his bullets as he reduced the distance between them.
He was unscathed, as some shot could hit him, but nothing vital.
18%....16%.....
Nord's face was serious as he threw a grenade toward Sora, who kicked it back.
"Bad idea…" murmured Nord as he escape from his original position because of the incoming grenade.
The gap between them shortened even more than Nord used the limit of his gun skill.
He fires a barrage of bullets even faster than before as 100 of them arrived quickly toward Sora.
Sora, with no hesitation, jumped into the air as a flower platform he created catches him in the sky.
Sora twisted his body in the air as a geo based sigil appeared behind him as a barrage of geo spear were fired toward Nord.
"Interesting" said Nord as he counterattacked with his own bullets barrage.
The bullet and spear collided between themselves as they exploded in the air, creating explosion everywhere in the arena.
Sora landed on the ground as he put both of his hand on the ground as yellow crystal surrounded Nord.
"That's terrible for me…" said Nord as he witnessed his dangerous situation and became even more solemn as he saw Sora's next action.
Sora was currently lifting his hand as a geo based sphere rose into the air as the energy surrounding the sphere created a beautiful flower that was constantly pulsating.
"Oi, oi, oi, you are really serious buddy… and I respect that," said Nord, with a fierce grin on his face.
"Let me show you my own ultimate attack!" roared Nord as he took out parts of a sniper from his coat. (Think of Jhin sniper from League of Legends)
Nord dropped on one knee as he prepared for a full burst shot as the tip of his sniper glowed menacingly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This level of combat of their own classmate shocked them, and Glynda was even more shocked by the level of destruction of first years.
"Hum.. Professor Glynda, don't you think they are getting a little dangerous right now?" asked a student as he licked his dry lips.
Glynda stared blankly at the arena, as she didn't refute her student.
They were getting to another level from the usual first years and even higher years.
She woke up from her daze as she yelled at Sora and Nord angrily.
"ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?!? PUT YOUR ATTACK DOWN FOR ME!!!" roared Glynda as her shouting interrupted Sora and Nord.
They clicked their tongue with dissatisfaction and canceled their attack.
Sora's sphere dimmed and broke into a multiple fragment as they flew with the wind.
While Nord broke down his sniper in many parts as he stuffed it back in his coat.
A blue vein popped on Glynda's forehead as she noticed their dissatisfaction.
"DO YOU GUYS DESERVE TO BE ANGRY? LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE ARENA!!! THERE'S WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MORE DUEL AFTER YOU GUYS."
Sora looked around him as he silently snapped his finger as his alchemist fixed the ground on the arena.
Nord whistled in amazement at Sora's recovery and cheekily looked at Glynda with a smug.
It only made her angry as she gripped her crop even harder.
Sora obviously noticed the situation distanced himself from Nord.
'Low EQ…. and why are you even smug when I was the one who did it…"
Glynda stared fiercely at Nord as he finally noticed his situation as he gulped in stress.
"… You are staying with me after class, student Nord Snow." Said Glynda.
"Wait, a minute!" exclaimed Nord as he try to save his life.
Glynda ignored Nord, who fell on his knees as he cried bitterly at his incoming punishment.
Glynda cleared her throat as she announced the end of the fight. "It's a draw, anyway you guys go back to your seat."
"Wuwuwuwu" cried Nord as Sora silently patted his back.
"C'mon, you don't want another punishment for not leaving the arena, right?" said Sora, as he persuaded the depressed Nord.
"That's so not fair…."
[Congratulations to the host for breaking your limit as character [Albedo] and a draw Vs Nord Snow, leader of NUTS.]
[Acting Progress: 63% → 75%]
[All skills +7]
[Author's Note]
So long time no see huh, So this chapter was supposed to be out for a long time ago but was only half finished.
So I finished writing the last half today, and I honestly forgot what I wrote before.
So I might tweak some part of this chapter and the old one.
The new semester started last week, so I might be busy with my already chaos non-existent schedule.
I definitively want to continue this book.
Honestly, the fighting part is the real blocker for me, TT.
I will try to make them simpler....
Anyway, I won't drop this book! I will write more!

[Spoilers, don't read if you don't want to get spoiler of the new arc for this book!]
Now let's talk about the future of this book, after Sora's get 100% with the Albedo card.
I want him to explore the black area/underground of RWBY with the new acting character.
I appreciate your recommendation. I was thinking about one piece characters, phantom troupe, Vongola or league of legends assassin champion.
They don't have to be bad guys!!! Just someone who knows how to operate that kind of business.
