{Third Person POV}
"WHAT?! Mordred shouted and grab Jaune's shoulder and start to shake him
"Are you out of your God damned mind!?" She continues to shake him making Jaune's head become a fucking wobblehead.
"Wait wait Mordred, let me expla-" Jaune tried to explained to her but Mordred just shake him harder.
"Explain what!? That you want to run away like a dumbass!" She shake him harder 'this stupid kid!'
Jaune sighs and let her shake him, She's already exhausted because of breaking her Aura.
'Well hopefully it doesn't take to long.. at this point I'll get whiplash or something...' Jaune thinks to himself while his head is shaking back and forth like he is listening to rock music. 'Mordred would probably be used to shake her head like this... she loves rock music.. what was that band name again that she had a poster for in her bedroom? Ironica? Yeah.. ironica...'
After a minute if shaking Jaune, Mordred is panting out of breath and is frankly exhausted from everything... from the sparring.. and also from turning Jaune into a wobblehead.
'Shit, my arm is sore...' Mordred thought to herself while rubbing her shoulder 'what is this kid made out of? Oh yeah.. stupidity.'
"So... can I explain now?" Jaune asked her while rubbing his head to try and sooth the dizziness.
"You better explain good or I'm turning you into a grimm bait!" Mordred glared at him. "Promise to me that its not because of something stupid like you want to be away to open your horizon or some shit!"
Jaune let out a soft laugh which he quickly stop when Mordred glared at him. "Okay, I promise... An Arc Promise."
Mordred's Eyes widen before she look at him approvingly. "Go on.... explain."
"You know... you know how people generally need to graduate combat school before they can attend the academy right?" Jaune asked her in which she nodded at him.
"Yeah, we need to go to combat school... but sometimes There's a few exception in the academy.. for example in beacon you don't exactly need to attend combat school but you need to get tested by the professors there before you even join the initiation, and you need to have your Aura unlocked before even the test begin, the professor there won't unlock your Aura for you.... and in Atlas if you never get formal training or a combat school then you're shit out of luck.. the best you can do is become a soldiers because people who don't go to combat school generally never get their Aura unlocked.. and to get your Aura unlocked by another person is really personal.. considering we're using our soul to reach to another person's soul..." Mordred explained even further for him.
"Yeah... well.. I want to run away to join a combat school." Jaune explained to her about why he wants to run away.
"So... you want to run away to join a combat school... why? With how you are now, you can wait a few years and try to join beacon." Mordred tell him but he shake his head.
"But I can't join Beacon... dad and the headmaster there is really close, the headmaster will tell dad and he will come to take me home before I could even take the invitation..." Jaune let out a tired sigh. "So I can't go to beacon, that's why I need to go to a combat school to attend the other academy."
"Shit... I forgot about that." Mordred tell to herself before she look at Jaune again. "The only combat school that is near here other than the one that I attend too is at patch.. which is... signal? Yeah signal... that could work too."
Jaune shake his head again. "No, its too close.. and dad used to go to signal, so it's a big risk if I go there considering I look like dad when he was my age... and i also need to bring my birth certificate and other things to register there... can't exactly hide where i am if my identity is registered on the combat school, with dad's connection he would easily find me there... and he could also have some friends in patch considering he grows up there before he moved into orleans after marrying mom."
"Shit... then where then? I don't know any other places.. you really don't have much choice." Mordred then rest her chin under her fist and start to think.
"Wait.. I know you're a smart boy Jaune, you wouldn't tell me this if you hadn't found the right place." Mordred looks back to Jaune.
"Yeah, I have found the place... its shade." Jaune revealed to Mordred and her eyes widen.
"Shade? Are you dumb? Shade as in Vacuo Hunter academy!? That's not a combat school you stupid dimbwit!" She they slap the back of Jaune's head which she quickly regret when his Aura automatically activate and it feels like She's hitting a concrete wall with her palm. "Shit, that hurt you dumb fuck."
"Well, I didn't tell you to hit me, did I?" Jaune laughed softly and shakes his head. "Yeah, Shade the Hunter academy... what do you know about Vacuo, Mordred?" Jaune then gra Mordred's palm and start to massage it to sooth the pain away.
'Shit, this kid is too good to be true.' Mordred thinks to herself before she answer Jaune. "Vacuo is some desert wasteland where it's all lawless and shit... the government got almost no fucking power then, and it's the best place for rogue hunters and shit... and also the grimm there is generally much more dangerous considering the terrain, they can hide under the sand and set up an ambush..... and everyone there is Dirt poor."
"Yeah... you're right about all of that.. but that is why I want to go there." Jaune tell Mordred and the answers he get from her is one that basically screamed that he's stupid.
"That still doesn't explain shit, dumbass... you're not a rogue hunter, and that still doesn't explain about how you can get into Shade, you're twelve years old! You could only get into a hunter academy at 16 or 17!" She want to smack the back of Jaune's head again but she doesn't because it frankly hurt and it also feels good having her hand being massage by Jaune... she knew that its a good reason that she alongside Saphron and Artoria teach Jaune on how to massage... she then chuckled and thinks about the time where Jaune basically become the 3 oldest sisters masseuse.
"Well it's because of the fact that the government don't have much power in Vacuo and the lack of funds." Jaune tell her before he continue to explain more before she could speak up. "Shade academy as of last year had become a combat school too because of the lack of funding and the need for more manpower to combat the grimm there.."
Mordred eyes widen and nodded. "Oh... I always know you're a smart boy Jaune... but don't you also need to register your identity there?"
Jaune shake his head again. "No, because There's a lot of street orphans at Vacuo, shade academy just need a name and age.. no government identity.. so that meant I could just give a fake name and I would be in as long as I got Aura... which I do..."
Mordred then sigh. "..... you're really serious about this, aren't you?" She then use her free hand to cover Jaune's hand on her other hand.
Jaune stops for a few second before he look at her. "Yeah.... I... I need to become a hunter, Mordred... I got the power... I got the responsibility... if I don't do it then if somebody need help and I'm not there then it's my fault if they got hurt Mordred." He then sighs again. "And... and I have dreams Mordred... like a dream where I am in a war.. I always wear the same armor and wielded the same sword... the sword is so beautiful, Mordred... the most beautiful sword I had ever seen..."
Mordred look at him weirdly but she doesn't stop him from talking.
"And there was always those 2 people.. a blond woman who can wield magic and also a brown haired knight... they we're always with me in the battlefields... they don't get along well, they always bicker about different opinion." Jaune the look at Mordred waiting if she want him to stop talking or continue.
"Go on.. continue.... why did they fight?"
"Well.. the woman is too... cold I guess.. she doesn't care about what happen as long as her goal is done, even if it meant hurting people.. but the brown haired knight doesn't like that, he always thinks that if the journey hurts a lot of innocent people then whatever comes in the end even if it's good, it's still won't be right...." I then let out a sigh.
"... and since when did you got this dreams Jaune?" She asked him while holding his hand.
"Since I unlocked my Aura.. its not exactly a full on dreams.. just a few seconds of it before I wake up... never more than 20 or 30 second I guess..." Jaune then lean back and look at the cave walls. "Am I going crazy?"
Mordred chuckled and shake her head. "Crazy? No. Stupid? Always... but what about you Jaune? What did you do in those.. dreams.."
Jaune then let out a hum. "Hmmm... I... I think I was a commander? Or a general at least... they both always follows my order to the letter and the woman is... overzealous to me I guess.. like she will go above and beyond to follow my order, sometimes at the expense of innocent people." Jaune answered her.
"So.... you're dreaming of being a general with a cold bitch and a soft knight... that's a while dream I guess Jaune.. and you been dreaming about this since that night?" He nodded at her. "Well.. I guess the great Mordred Arc have no choice other than helping you I guess." She looks at him smugly even though in her heart she felt a stabbing pain at the thought of him leaving her. 'Maybe I also need to go to shade, someone had to make sure the this idiot doesn't do some idiots shit.'
"Wait... how are you going to Vacuo anyway? You either had to sail to there which would take weeks, walk to vacuo which would take months! Or fly there which would take days!.... are you dumb?" Mordred look at him like he's stupid for not thinking ahead.
"Well about that.. I have a plan.."
