77 Rejection (1/1)
”Hey, there you are... sorry about being a jerk. I was just angry about something,” Shadow walks over to Jaune who was still slashing away at the air.
”You think I am not angry! I am tired of being so damn weak! I don't even have the guts to ask out the girl of my dreams!” Jaune cries out as he angrily rams his sword into a nearby oak tree.
”Calm down Jaune. It's not your fault. You can always become stronger. I can help you get stronger.” Shadow offered as he kindly placed his hands on Jaune shoulders.
”You don't get it! You are born with all these amazing powers! And I am born with shit! I have no semblance or skills! Pyrrha has her polarity, Ruby has her lightning-fast speed, Nora has her godly strength and electric powers! And I have nothing!” Jaune punches the oak tree over and over again, blood almost leaked out from his knuckles. His whole knuckles were full of fresh scars.
Shadow could see why he was mad. He was once the same back in his homeworld of Earth. He was once weak. The feeling of being so defenseless and weak could break the strongest of minds. Constantly being put down, until you rise. And rise Shadow did. Once he acquired the Dark System he never once thought about his past-self. He wanted to become a god in this world at all cost. He never wanted to become weak ever again.
”Jaune just know you can always rise up. I will make you become stronger than ever. And I will help you ask out Weiss. Come on. You can trust me.” Shadow smirks and pats Jaune on the back to conceal his anger.
”You know what, your right! Together you and me will be the most powerful huntsman in Remnant!” Jaune enthusiastically high-fives Shadow.
”That's more like it.” Shadow lightly punched Jaune in the shoulders. For some reason, Shadow had no idea why he was being so friendly with Jaune. Maybe because he needed a friend. Or maybe something else... Dark minds work in such mysterious ways.
Shadow and Jaune go to look for Weiss. Jaune knew where she may be. ”Weiss must be at the auditorium building planning for the prom,” Jaune said as he nervously held a bouquet of roses and white jasmine flowers( He did this because Weiss had white hair. Weird).
”Don't worry man. Everything is going to be fine. Just be yourself. Look there she is!” Shadow loudly whispers and points ahead to the Ice Queen.
Weiss was arranging white balloons and tablecloths all around the prom room dance floors. She was so meticulously invested in making the most perfect prom dance ever for everyone at Beacon to enjoy!
”Alright. Its time to be a man.” Jaune puffs up his chest and breathes heavily. He was going to slay the Ice Queen's heart.
Then out of nowhere a spiky blue-haired hunk named Neptune walks towards Weiss.
”Wow everything looks so sparkly and nice. As expected from one of the finest and most graceful ice angels of this academy.” Neptune cooly says in a sly tone with a big bright handsome smile. In ranks of looks, Neptune was a solid 10. Every girl wanted to be with him solely because of his flawlessly handsome face. Even his sense of style was super cool. He was the true definition of a cool kid.
”Oh hey Neptune!” Weiss blushes and twirls around.
”I was wondering if you wanted to go to the prom with me,” Neptune said with a smile as held Weiss's delicate hands and kissed the top of it like a gentleman.
”Of course! I would love to!” Weiss exclaims as she battered her aqua blue eyes with a bright smile. She was swooned by Neptunes charm.
Jaune drops the banquet of flowers. Burning rage begins to overflow his body. Every fiber in his body wanted to curse out Weiss and punch Neptune in his smug face. He was rejected so quickly without even having a chance! His whole life turned upside down. His nice side was slowly dying. Jaune was tired of being the 'nice guy'. Tired of being stepped on his whole life. A new Jaune had awakened. Dark Jaune.
