After the night jaune found a new chance in life, he's now felt proud but on the other half he felt a pure negative of emotions since everyone and I mean every single student in beacon hated him

It was the beginning of class days jaune still remember the words Balder said to meet up with him at the same spot last night. While he was walking at the halls, alone, people who came passed him started to whispered each other, talking about his mistake, just a single mistake cause a great betrayal and hatred

Jaune tried to ignore those mellenia words of hatred but he can't resist, so he bost his legs and began to ran, then he arrived at class just in time

" ah Mr arc just in time, class is about to start go ahead take a seat " prof- I mean doctor oobleck said as jaune do what he said but he was seated away the rest of the class

 <~•~•~ time break! Time skip! ~•~•~>

Class has ended jaune began to ran through the halls towards the cliffs everyone who jaune passed wonder what's up with him well everyone never cares cause you know why

After few minutes he arrived he can see the sun is about to fall down, he can still see the blue sky from above but it slowly faded and he can now see few stars above

He look left and right trying to find where Balder at he did his promises and yet he's not there but then

" I see you arrive just in time young arc "

The blond look back and saw Balder stood behind him and he had a good smile on his face

" sir Balder! " jaune said

Balder huckled as he slowly walk around him then look up at the sky as stars began to show twinkling from the above then he look back and ask

" are you ready jaune? "

" um yes...uh... Ready for what exactly? " his eyebrows raised in confusion

" what I'm about to awaken in you " Balder said as he stepped close to jaune and held his hand to jaune's forehead

" close your eyes " he said

Jaune did what he said then Balder's arm began to glow and so as jaune's entire body, same as pyrrha did to him when she unlock his aura

While his body continues to glow he heard a unfamiliar voice speaking to him, whispering through his head

" jaune "

" the chosen one "

" the warrior of light "

" rise "

" fight "

" this is your destiny "

" don't give up "

" believe "

" it's time "

Then he heard one last voice that spoke to him, a male and wise voice that he heard

" be the remnants of light, be their hope, Rise and they'll remember you, cause legends never die "

The glow began to fade and Balder stepped back and saw jaune's glow fades away, he noticed the last glow that was at his heart and and fade once again

" open your eyes jaune "

And so he did but when he open his eyes, it shines like silver then it turned back to blue

He look around his body as he feel a the strange energy that's different to aura he held both of his hands and saw light aura around it and fade

" what did you do to me? what was that? " he ask

" I have awaken the power that was given to you when you were born, the power of light " Balder said

Jaune was surprised and felt happy at the same time, he never knew things will come this far now his journey has  begun

" thank you "

*chuckle* " don't thank me yet young lad you still have training to deal with" he said

" oh right " jaune notice that it's getting dark, the stars was now seen and the shattered moon has risen

" it's getting dark " he said

" it is " Balder said then he look back at jaune and he called to him " jaune "

The blond look at him as he about to say something important

" tommorow after classes, I want you to pack your things and meet me at the forest " he said

Jaune was shock, is he about to leave bacon, what is he trying to do so he ask " w-why? Where are we going? "

" I'm bringing you to a world outside of remnant, a world where you will start your training as a warrior " Balder answered

Jaune was wide eyed about this well it's getting Weider in any way. Then he thought about the people here, what will happen when he left without a trace, will they be happy?  Will they be ever to forget about him?
He don't know

So he ask " will I be able to go back? "

Balder nod and said to him " of course, once your training is done you'll officialy be mastered in combat, strategies, planning, and to learn how to control your powers as you grow. You will be a professional as a huntsmen "

Jaune thought about it and made his final decision

" I'm in "

" good now go and good night young arc I'll see you tomorrow "

And so jaune went back to beacon leaving Balder alone at the cliffs but then Balder remember what he said when he talk to ozpin yesterday

Flashback

Balder and ozpin stood one another, they give eye to eye contact as ozpin began to ask

" what are you doing here Balder "

Balder smiled as he twirled his staff and walk around the corner, he smirked

" well I've come for the boy ozma, it's not like you care anyway "

" I still care about Mr arc and I took responsibility to help him "

*chuckle* " really, well let me ask you something. Where were you when he was beaten, humiliated by everyone? hell even your 'assistant' ignores the situation itself. you should be ashamed of yourself by letting a boy suffer for the rest of his life "

" I know, but thats not mean it'll be that way "

" oh don't worry old friend, I'll take care of this. After all he's the person who'll soon surpass those huntsmen and huntresses, and Soon the world will be at peace, where both humans, faunus, and Grimm will live as one "

Flashback end

The nest morning, it was time for combat class Glynda goodwitch stood side at the arena as she called the first challenger pyrrha Vs yang as the two fought each other and pyrrah won

" good work ms Nikos, now team crdl come over to the arena at once " Glynda called

So team crdl came. Cardin, Russel, dove, sky all line up as Glynda walk passed them and begin to speak

" now pick which opponent you'll face" she said

Cardin smirked " I choose that liar over there " he said as he pointed at jaune

Everyone whispered with each other as for jaune, he has some determination in him. Ignoring the words he heard around him so he walk towards the arena while ruby tried to stop him but was grabbed by yang and her team

" Jaune no... " she whispered

Jaune arrive at the arena as Glynda look at him worried

" are you sure about this jaune " she said

" it's fine by me " jaune replied

Then Cardin makes a smug face " well see about that freak "

They all raided their weapons except Jaune but Glynda gave him a sword and so it's fair. Ren and Nora look silent as they both knew he lose. Team wby also knew as they smirked like its a joke but ruby was worried about him she can't let her best friend get hurt but for pyrrah she noticed a golden mist came out of his body she can sense it...its...powerfull

The alarm struck and the battle has begun. Cardin attack first then jaune just dodge from every swing. Dove and Russel attack jaune from both sides but jaune dodge their blades again. The blond boy do a back flip to avoid the two as he notice sky from behind so he kicked him at the guts and charged at Cardin

" whoa I can dodge them " juane thought

The entire beacon students was shock seeing Jaune managed to dodge their attacks. This is the first time they see him so skilled. Pyrrha on the other hand was now impressed but for the others...well, nah, they think jaune will lose

But beyond the crowd Balder was there watching how Jaune fought well more like doing defense he smiled as jaune was still avoiding every blades they give

" argh! Come on fight already you can't just avoiding us all day " Cardin screamed

" well I like to see you try " jaune said making Cardin even mad as he use his semblance to blow jaune off

Explosions were everywhere as jaune was struggling to get back the fight then sky launch an attack and hit jaune behind as his aura was in 50%

" damn it " jaune thought

Then dove kicked him from the guts as Russel slashed jaune's back then the sides. Now jaune is in 20% as he cough in blood while Glynda was trying to stop but ozpin grab her to wait cause ozpin knew something might happen then the headmaster look at the direction where Balder at when he sees him looking like he knew this will happen

Back to the battle, jaune slowly got up injured, bloodied then Cardin swung his mace upward and hit jaune's jaws then he used his semblance and blow up jaune as his aura is in 9%

Cardin laugh at the weak arc " what now jauney boy not so though now? Cause you stay that way! Weakling! "

From anger jaune slowly stood up as everyone saw what is going but then his aura bar was back in 100%, they can feel the strange energy flow through him even from team crdl from that, Jaune's right arm began to glow yellow. Cardin was shock to see jaune's aura was in 100% so he began to attack him but jaune managed to grab cardin's mace then he stab him using his arm forming a light yellow blade

Now its Cardin's turn to cough off blood as he look at his aura was now in 5% " what...how... "

with that Jaune kicked him off the arena smashed him through the wall as for the rest and the audience they now saw jaune but his eyes were glowing yellow light. His injuries were healed, his scars healed and everyone in beacon was now shake in fear

Team rwby was shock, Nora was mind blown, ren was speechless, and pyrrha is mixed reaction like regret, sadness, and fear

" what!!? How did that liar became that strong " yang thought

" no way that can't be that dunce, there's no way!! " Weiss said in her thoughts

" He's eyes, their...glowing " Blake think

" Jaune... " ruby thought

" what happened to you? " pyrrha ask herself

Ozpin was also shocked seeing jaune becoming something like this. he noticed Balder walk close to him as he stood beside him as the headmaster ask

" Balder, what did you do to him? "

" oh nothing, just have to awaken his true power that's all " Balder said

" true power? " ozpin ask

" let me tell you something ozma, there was a prophecy that said three people born in different species with the gift of three powers.  That power was said to be the light, the darkness and the center. Each one of them is powerful enough to rival the gods itself " Balder explained as ozpin was shock

" so that make him- "

" the warrior of light, god of light's sucsesor. Jaune inherited the power of light by the gods themselves " Balder said

Back at the battle dove, Russel, and sky was shock, seeing their leader bleeded from the wall, weekend so easily yet they saw jaune disappear then appear again, right in front of Russel as he grab his neck and threw him hitting dove and sky then jaune teleported again and upper cut sky's back as the three of them went up to the ceiling. Jaune took a huge jump and kicked the three of them and crashed out of the ring and declared him the winner

The entire beacon was pissed then jaune's eyes stopped glowing as he look around saw everyone in wide eyes and jaws drop the blond look at both his hands and saw it glowed

" woah " he thought

And so jaune have awaken his power of light. He left the arena leaving team crdl injured except for Cardin who is  bleeding to death, good thing he didn't die but I think he's gonna miss his one week of class

Yet they didn't know that Jaune's family even the rest of the parents witnessed everything as jaune's father rushed out to find him

______________________________________

After few minutes class ended everyone didn't see jaune everywhere as the blond was now packing his things before pyrrha, ren, and Nora came. And so he's done he quickly rushed out of the dorm and as he went out his 'team' saw him leave

" jaune!! " pyrrha called but jaune ignored

They all came in to their dorms and saw that everything is cleaned. The beds are set, the clothes are fold the, books were stacked, and the kitchen floor is cleaned as brand new but they notice that jaune's things are gone so that's when they realize

" jaune is leaving... " Nora said as she starts to cry, ren glunch his fist trying to resist and pyrrha went to follow him before its to late

At the headmasters office ozpin and Glynda are talking to James ironwood at the scroll. Ozpin told him everything that Balder said about jaune being the warrior of light, there planning on recruiting him at the inner circle

" are you sure it's true oz? " ironwood ask

" yes I'm sure, an old friend of mine told me everything. He could be the one to defeat Salem so he has to know " ozpin said

" but are you sure he'll join us? " Glynda ask

" I'm sure he will "

But then Balder appear out of tin air as lightning sparks around him and fade

" I'm afraid that won't happen my friend " he said

" Balder!? "

" what do you mean it won't happen!?" Glynda ask

Then Balder smiled " I'm taking the boy with me and I can't let him join your so called 'inner circle' your only using him as a puppet "

Ozpin went mad " I won't let you do this Balder! The world is at risk and Salem is planning to destroy us all, why don't you understand!? "

With that Balder burst his aura turning the wave of energy that ozpin struggles to hold back

" I already knew that ozma, and I'm doing this to stop you and Salem and don't forget about summer. It's because of you many lives lost " Balder said making ozpin thought through

Then Glynda used her semblance but it didn't effect on Balder so he use his magic to levitate her and slam her at the wall, the General couldn't do anything because he's at atlas military
Now ozpin is pissed but Balder decided to leave. he turned back on the headmaster and walk towards the center of the office

" I won't let you take jaune away from us Balder, he's our only hope... " ozpin said while he's pissed

Balder look back at him, smiled and said " oh. I already did "

Just like that a blue magic circle appear below Balder, glowing brighter and brighter then poof he disappeared with a flash. The General look worried as he look at ozpin

" oz, you OK? " he ask

...

" I'm fine " he said as he hurry picking Glynda up then the general wondered what will happen next

" I'll be off now oz " and so the scroll went off as ozpin helped Glynda sat at his chair. Her body began to heal quickly so she stand up on her feet and look at ozpin

" ozpin what now? " Glynda ask

" Glynda call everyone, and find jaune before its to late " he said as Glynda hurry left to find the hated student and their so called 'remnants hope' after everything they did to him

Back at jaune still running through the halls as the teachers notice him holding a bag full of his stuff inside they knew what he's doing

" Mr arc wait!! " Dr oobleck screamed his name but the blond ignore. So he and port ran to follow him

Then jaune run passed prof peach as she notice him leave and wanted to ask him some questions about his power of his but she realized that he's leaving beacon with that bag of his then she meet up with port and oobleck and the three followed him

From jaune he arrived at the cliffs but he still heard the call from the teachers even from a familiar voices, Team rwby's voices as he wondered why. He wanted to hide as he waiting for Balder to come

" where is he!? "

" I think he went over there "

" jaune!? Jaune!? "

" fearless leader!!? "

" shoot, where are you sir Balder " he said

Then finally he came looking confused as to why his face was so nervous " is something the matter young arc? " he ask

" oh sir Balder thank oum your here...im ready to go. Right now. Right now!! Hurry before they'll get me!! "

*sigh* " all right " Balder hit the ground using his staff as the magic circle appeared " hop on "

So jaune did as the teachers, Team rwby, pyrrha, ren, Nora, Team cfvy came just in time. They all saw jaune with Balder standing on a light circle as it began to glow brighter

" there he is, jaune!! " coco shouted

Ruby notice the circle *gasp* " jaune what are you doing!? "

" fearless leader wait! " Nora screamed

" Balder!! No!!! " Glynda shouted at Balder

Balder felt annoyed " let's go " he said

" right " jaune replied

Ruby used her semblance as she almost caught jaune but the glow disappeared and ruby was blown away. She look back and saw that Balder and jaune disappeared

" jaune..."

The little rose starts to cry, she couldn't get to say goodbye. As Glynda felt guilt, and disappointed to herself and faild to bring back jaune

Pyrrha, Nora and ren were silent seeing jaune no more, velvet falls down to her knees and crying at coco's shoulder. Oobleck, port, and peach also went silent and as for ozpin he stood at the window with guilt and felt like he lose the hope and so he did

That day was the last time they'll ever see jaune, the kind and great guy, who hated and humiliated by everyone. So what will happen next. Will find out soon.
