Training Part1

3 Months later

It has been 3 months since Jaune had left to train on his own and get stronger and so far despite a few hiccups it was going well. He had learnt how to use his semblance to heal on command and had been what had allowed him to survive against the numerous grimm that came to devour him whole. He had setup a small tent in the forest in a cave he had found beside a lake where he planned to stay for a while before heading further away from civilization.

Jaune's mood had also started improving the more he saw himself breaking through the barriers and becoming stronger. After separating for the first month Jaune had done nothing but condition his body to fight to till the end. He would do this by stating with a hundred push-ups, sit-ups, squats, punches, kicks and a 10 km run after which he would take out his sword and move through the motions taught by Qrow and Pyrrha. He would keep this up for 3 hours straight before resting for 30 minutes and then starting meditation to stimulate the fighting styles he had been observing since the day he had gone to Beacon for over an hour after which he would resume training but this time he would do the workout in water to learn to fight underwater and learn to fight under heavy resistance.

The next month was spent alternating between fighting grimm one or two at a time and training. The 3rd month was spent almost completely on fighting the grimm. His schedule for the 3rd month went like this – Wake up – Eat do morning rituals – Fight grimm until exhausted – Escape – Eat – Rest – Fight grimm till exhaustion – rest - fight and then sleep. He had almost died a few times but was able to get a second wind with the help of his semblance which allowed him to take on and defeat 20-30 grimm in a single seating.

Jaune's aura had also started growing bigger at a low pace but was still fast enough to be noticed. He had also put to use his knowledge on hunting, foraging and cooking wild animals which was taught to him by his parents.

"HA HA!! What happened you werewolf discount copy come at me with all you got!!" A wild Jaune Arc appeared with his blade swinging to cut another Beowulf in half. "40 done wonder how many are left." He looked around and saw that there were only 10 more Beowulf around him and sighed 'It looks like this place is almost safe for me I should travel deeper to fight stronger opponents' Jaune then disappeared in a burst of speed and 2 of the grimm were cut in half then 4 then 6 until he was the only one left standing. "Ahh! Man that was a good warm-up. Yosh! Lets go and get started on training!"

He ran away to his hideout and after eating some food he strapped on 5 kg weight on each limb and 7 kg on his chest and started doing his workout. 200 reps of each exercise followed by a 15 km run and then he started climbing a mountain with no safety to train his dexterity. After 5 hours he took a rest for an hour then started doge training using the makeshift traps and ropes he had designed to give him a challenge.

Then after an hour of dodging wild traps and arrows he practiced with his sword and shield for 1 hour and meditated to calm himself and review todays work for an hour. Then he ate and went to sleep.

The next day he packed his stuff and left the cave to go deeper into the wildlands.

"Hmm so that's how it is!" Jaune was very excited as he had made a major breakthrough in his aura and semblance training. He was currently glowing white and waving his hands around to see the trails of aura wisps left in its wake.

Since no one had taught him about aura before Beacon and while Pyrrha was a great teacher they had mainly focused on combat. Even after the fall of Beacon he had mainly focused on improving his sword skills and unlocking his semblance so the common sense which had been developed by the hunters regarding aura, semblances and dust was not instilled in him. So he experimented with his aura to try to use flames like Cinder or use lightning like Nora or even wind or water or earth. At first he had failed/blown-up so many times he had almost lost hope but during the 9th month he had been able to create a small fire! From there his confidence was regained and he started training to do the same with the other elements. His theory was that since aura is his soul given form and since soul is infinite shouldn't aura also be capable of bending reality? After all it was your literal infinite soul given manifest!! And he succeeded! Near the end of the year he was able to use the elements without dust and at a level where they could be used in combat. Unfortunately they were quite aura intensive so anyone other than him would not be able to spam them continuously.

His aura had quadrupled in size and felt much more dense. If before he had as much as 4th year huntsmen in training now he had twice the amount of even the veteran hunters like Glynda! His semblance had also evolved or rather he had become more proficient in its use and instead of just amplifying auras and semblances, now he could amplify cause and effect as well. Like if he concentrated on his sword he could amplify its sharpness to where previously it would have take 6-7 hits to chop a tree now he could do it in 2. He could also amplify himself by a small amount such as amplifying his speed, strength, mental agility etc. But the effect was not great yet.

But still this had been what had enabled him to finally fight over 300 grimm on his own and rip them apart himself! "Next stop grimm lands!!" He was going to get even stronger! Stronger than everyone so that what happened in Beacon never happens again he swore to himself as he packed his gear and left for the grimm lands to fight even stronger foes!
