{3RD PERSON POV}
With great speed Modred launched herself at Jaune with her sword high up above her head intending to swing it down straight to him.
'This again... she always want to end the fight fast.' Jaune thought to himself as he take a stepback and backhand her sword to the side with simple flick of his sword.
Mordred grinned and use the momentum from Jaune's sword to swing her whole body around midair and swing at him again but this time is from her side. 'This is what I've been waiting for Jaune! You're too passive!'
Jaune eyes narrowed and dodges backwards again. "This again, Mordred? Aren't you bored of doing that same thing?"
She frowned and launched herself at Jaune again but because of the closer proximity, she had come too close to him and now Jaune is inside her guard.
'SHIT!' "BOOM!"
With an astounding sound, Jaune launched an uppercut right into her guts, the combination from her own speed and Jaune's fist connected to her guts made felt like throwing up her inside as her spit spittle out of her mouth and her body come to an abrupt stop ontop of his fist.
She felt that the blow take a chunk out of her Aura but She's not finished yet, she let out a grin and let go of one hand on her sword to grab Jaune my his shoulder, this may not be her first plan but she won't complain about this opportunity!
"Gotcha, fucker!"
Jaune eyes widened as Mordred's body glows red and electricity arcs across her body electrocuting Jaune with 1000 volts of electricity.
'This is bad! I can feel my Aura depleting!' Jaune grit his teeth and tried to remove Modred but her grip on his shoulder is too tight! He can't even move his body because of the her semblance anyway.
"I ain't letting you go, Jaune! I ain't losing this time! Jauney boy!" She shouted and upped her Semblance making 1500 volts of electricity coursed from her into Jaune's while she grabbed his shoulder even tighter even though she is still perched stomach first on his fist.
Jaune can feel his body start to spasm even more uncontrollably but he need to concetrate on his aura to at least cover his left arm for his next move.
Jaune then focused his aura control and with it covering his left arm making it glow brightly, he have slight control over it but that's okay because that is all he need.
With a shout he used his fist that is on her guts to launch her away from him. "AAAAGGGHHH!!"
Modred's eyes widened as she got launched hard by Jaune. 'This kid!' She then skid on the floor and come to an abrupt stop as her back hit the cave's wall.
"I got you to take this seriously didn't I, Jaune?" She grinned at him with her while electricity continue to cloak her body like a suit of armor, if it were any other person to use this move it would be stupid to do it for long period of times because of the severe Aura drainage, but because of her Blood as an Arc and the absurd aura amount she got from it, she can use this comfortably for a few minutes before her Aura get to red. "Why don't you use that reinforcement of yours!? You can't beat me without it now Jaune! I practiced this move in secret just for you Jaune! So use it now!" She shouted at him with a hint of anger and excitement coating her voice.
The reason why she wanted Jaune to use his reinforcement is because of her feelings of inadequacy as a fighter, Jaune had completely stopped using reinforcement for more than a year ago! Not even the lowest level of reinforcement! And he still beat her every time without it! Her pride as a fighter and big sister is at stake! She had to make Jaune use it or it only cement her feelings that she isn't enough for Jaune! She need to be better for Jaune! What kind of big sister want to fail her little brother!
Her eyes widen in hope when she sees Jaune stand still and take a deep breath, maybe... just maybe he will use it again.. but her hope shattered when she sees Jaune shakes his head.
"I.... no Mordred... if I used Aura Reinforcment then it would be too easy.. none of us will learn anything..." Jaune let out a sigh before he put on the fool's guard with both hands on his sword pointing downward, he knows how much she wanted him to take him seriously but he can't, not only would the fight be meaningless, he would actually hurt modred more because of the boost in strength.
She knows that it will be too easy but she can't accept it, how could she accept it? She refused to accept it! She know She's strong but compared to Jaune she's not good enough! She refused to not be good enough!
Jaune then launched himself forward into Mordred, Modred seeing this took this chance to take a revenge at Jaune by upping her coat into 2000 volts to boost her speed even more, with both her body and sword coated with her Semblance she launched her self to meet Jaune halfway with her sword pointed straight to him
"LIGHTNING SPEAR!" Her body is now akin to a lightning strick with how fast it is compared to before, with her sword pointed straight towards him this had practically turn her into a spear made out of lightning. 'I'll make you use it Jaune! That's an Arc Promise!'
Jaune then concetrate his aura and channel his lowest level of Aura Reinfocement and slide his sword against hers redirecting it to hit the air beside him as he moves closer to her, he had to use Aura Reinforcement because her speed now far outclass his without reinforcement.
Her eyes widen at the use of the Reinforcement but she can't be happy for long because with her now outstretched arms missed Jaune, he grab her arm and pull her closer and use it to spin his body around her and smack the pommel of his sword to the back of her head making her smack face first into the ground.
The ground explode with the impact of her head on the floor and her Semblance dissappear as she can feel that her Aura is on the verge of breaking, she then used all of he remaining strength to pull her head out of the ground.
Jaune stopped using Reinforcement and grab her by her shoulder. "Are you okay, Mordred? Did you Aura break?" He feared that he had used too much strength because it's been a really long time since he used his Reinforcement in a fight.
Mordred give him a wide grin. "Made you use it Jaune... that's a win in my book." She may had lost the battle but she win the war... and that make her want to cry because after more than a year, she finally managed to make him use it again.. she had trained in secret from him for months now to use that special move, finally all of her hard works staying up until dawn bore fruits. 'Stop it mordred, you can't cry infront of him, not like last time.. you can't look weak ever again.'
Even though she is trying her hardest to hide her feelings, Jaune can see it clearly enough. 'She... I.... damn it Jaune.... you made her sad...'
He then help her up. "You supised me Mordred, especially with grabbing my shoulder.. I should expect it but you took me by suprised."
Modred nodded at him. "of course you fell for it fool! I call that move THUNDER CROSS SHEAR HEART ATTACK!" She yelled out while making an X symbol with her arm.
"Yeah... yeah... thunder cross shear heart attack huh.... that's a mouthful." He shakes his head and walk to pick up her sword.
"So Modred, other than that did you get any more progress on your Aura training?" He asked her while he walked to the weapon's rack and store their swords.
She nodded at him. "Yeah, here look!" She show him her forearm and closes her eyes, after a few second her forearms started glowing. "Look! I can do this now after only a few sec-guh!" Her Aura shattered and she stumbled back.
"Modred! You're okay?!" Jaune run up to her and before he can reach her she raised a palm to stop him.
"Yeah.. I'm okay... its just because of our sparring.. that's all... I forgot to let my Aura regenerate for a few more minutes before I show you my progress." She then chuckled and sit down on the ground. "Let me take a breather for a second.. breaking your Aura feels like shit..."
Jaune chuckled before he decided to sit down next to her. "I know... I felt that too when I unlocked my Aura... literally couldn't do anything.."
"How about you Jaune? What's your progress?" She turn her head to look at him and sees him just looking at the entrance of the cave.
"Me? I.... I'm fine I guess." He lied to Mordred.. he had hit a bottleneck.. he thought he could get a break through with his Aura training but he had hit a bottleneck because the lack of opponent.
The only person he had fought with was Mordred and fighting the same person for years and years isn't good for anyone.. it'll stagnate their progress.. it would be a different story if the opponent is way stronger but Jaune is much stronger then Modred, she can't help him that much anymore compared to when he was a lot younger.
And for his Aura Reinforcement progression? He is doing pretty good. He had managed to make 3 different level for it. Reinforcement is dangerous to use on its own so he had to create a new Aura technique to helped him use it much safer than before... he called this technique Structural analysis.
The way he used structural analysis is like how a bat use echolocation, but the difference being is that a bat use the sound wave while he used his Aura wave by sending a really faint Aura wave to something he touched, he can see the inside.. its kinda like XRAY but not that much better..
With using structural analysis, it helped him put the perfect amount of Aura into something, it's the reason why some of the thing he used reinforcement into exploded.
It's because he used too much Aura for the object to handle and it resulted in an explosion, structural analysis helped him put Aura into it much better than without.
This also apply to his own body, the most complicated thing he had used both Aura and Reinforcement was his left eye, the risk of blinding himself was high but he can't become stronger by not being risky.
At that time because of Aura Reinforcement, his left eye can basically see up to 10 kilometers away with ease but it hunted him too much to the point that he can only maintain it for a few second lest he explode his eyes.. he should expected that his eyes is much more delicate than his body but hey, at least it didn't explode.. it only blurred his vision on his left eye for a few hours.. nothing that bad...
As for the 3 levels of Aura reinforcement? It goes like this.
First level: enhance the overall function of the thing that has been Reinforced ex: bones become tougher and muscle become stronger. Time limit: 2 hours Aura overall percentage on the body ratio: 5%
Second level: this is more dangerous because he is filling the object that he is Reinforcing with about 25% Aura to object ratio. ex: could see up to 10 kilometers away clearly and punching through a log with ease. Time limit: 15 minutes.
And the currently most dangerous level he haf managed to reach is the third level:
He first used this when he awakened his Aura. The backlash of using this is severe, he broke his bones and torn my muscle apart as the backlash of using this for less than 15 second when he first unlocked his aura. Ex: sees the world as if its a slow motion and moving so fast that the world is a blur to you but without proper Reinforcement managament he could risk tearing his muscles apart like last time. Time limit: 30 second. Aura overall percentage on the body ratio: 35%
With enough training and use he thinks that he could up the time limit but that is problem for future Jaune...
"Modred.. do you want to help me with something?"
Modred then looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "With what?"
"I want to run away."
She spin her entire body at him in shock and grab his shoulders. "WHAT?!"
