"Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate."
J.R.R. Tolkien
My opponent, like all the ones before him, thought that rushing in and seeing if he could beat me to a pulp would work, sadly for him, he was mistaken, using my shield to pick up his charging figure and throwing him on arena floor behind me making a 180 degree turn as I did so, putting me in front of him again, then while he was stunned, stabbed down into his stomach, luckily for him that was my first move, so his aura absorbed most of it, though he would still feel like hell in a few minutes, cause it would of done some serious damage if he didn't have an aura
“AND JAMES WINS YET AGAIN! IN ONE SINGLE STRIKE! AND MOVES FORWARD TO THE FINAL’S!” the judge yelled into the loudspeaker while the school applauded
“Yeah, go James!” yelled Phoebe who had just finished her match
“So how did you do?” I said
“I lost, but hey, at least I made it to the semi-finals”
“Yes, you should get a good grade and pass the end of year exams”
“By the way” said Phoebe “my opponent was tough, he took me out before I could even blink, so be careful”
“I always am”
“THE FINALS ARE ABOUT TO START, COULD THE LAST 2 STUDENTS TAKE THEIR PLACES AT THE ARENA”
“Well, that’s my queue” I said
“Good luck”
“Thanks”
I walked up the stairs and took my place at my corner, my opponent got there as I did, he was about as tall as me, built like a bear, had reddy brown hair, brown eyes and a set of the standard school armour with shoulder pads, breastplate and greaves made of metal and with the school logo on the front, but the thing that stood out the most was the massive 2 metre or so long broad sword that he carried, and I wondered how he could be so fast while lugging it around when it occurred to me that he must have a speed semblance, I would have to be extra careful with him
“3.2.1.BEGIN!”
As soon as the word came out, I found myself already under attack, it was all I could do to raise my shield to block his attack, surprised he darted away and came at me again, this time my right arm (the arm that holds my sword), using it’s momentum, I jumped out of the way and in doing so pushed his sword down and away from me and in to the stone floor, then knowing I had little time, proceeded to stab him and try to push him away from his weapon but he just took the blade, lost some aura and punched me away from him and his sword, pulling it out with little effort.
His surprised face was replaced with a grin and I guessed that he hadn't had a fight like this in a long time, what then began was a series of feints designed to either find a weakness or catch me off guard, my response to this was an attempt at his strategy, and it initially worked and he was forced to defend for a short time but then he darted around me a swung his sword at me and nearly took me out there and then, knowing I had one chance left I charged, feinted an overhead jab which he blocked with ease, but then I swung my shield upward, his lower jaw taking most of it, then I kicked him between his legs and when he sank to his knees, stabbed my sword into his neck after which, the referee ended the match.
“AND AFTER A LONG AND GRUELING MATCH, JAMES EMERGES VICTORIOUS!, HE AND THE OTHER FINALISTS WILL EACH RECEIVE AUTOMATIC ADMITTANCE INTO BEACON ACADEMY, THAT CONCLUDES OUR EXAMS, THE PLEASE LEAVE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR LAST WEEK OF SANCTUM ACADEMY “
“That was a great battle” I said to my now defeated opponent while I offering my hand to help him up
“Thanks” he said, accepting my helping hand
“How did you learn to fight like that, you were amazing and I could only barely keep up?” I asked
“Practice” he shrugged
“What’s your name?”
“Percy, yours?” he asked
“James” I answered
“We had a great battle, but I must go, unfortunately stories don’t write themselves” Percy said
“What’s it about?” I asked out of curiosity
He paused for a minute before answering “you”
“But I’m not well known or anything” I replied a little confused
“Don’t worry” he said cryptically “you will be” before walking off into the crowd
“You have no idea who you just met, do you?” Phoebe said
“no, I don’t” I said before heading towards one of the exits

Team KNGT Chapter 1: Kobalt
“What hit me?” were the first words he said when he woke up. The good news was that he could feel everything, unfortunately that was also the bad news. His whole body felt like he had been in a wrestling match with a mountain, and the mountain had won. So what actually had hit him? Though the pain was slowly subsiding, he was still shell shocked, his ears were ringing and his head felt like it was going to explode.
I could really go for an ice pack right now. He thought. But first things first.
He opened his eyes to find himself on his back in the dirt, partially buried in the in fact. That didn’t make any sens

A RWBY OC Fan-fiction - Prologue 3 - "Crystalline"
"You may go," the instructor ordered after a brief moment of waiting outside of the battle arena of the primary combat academy. The white doors slid open, revealing an empty, digitally-enhanced room. "Good luck, DiCaeli."
"Thank you, sir," Malva replied and picked up her rifle. Her heels clicking on the tiled floor when she walked inside, she shot one last glance at the instructor behind her. From the moment he had picked her up from the student's waiting lounge until he wished her luck, he had been looking at her with a cold expression, which simply did not disappear from his face, no matt

Team KNGT Chapter 42: Welcome to Atlas
Stepping off the ship and back on to solid ground Kobalt was glad his trip was finally over. He swore when it came time to leave, he’d be flying out on an airship. The extra cost would be well worth the time saved and would hopefully avoid being in one place with so many people for so long. Usually that wasn’t an issue, but with the Vytal Festival having just ended Kobalt was being recognized more than he cared for. One couple on the ship was heading back home to Atlas from Mistral themselves, and would not stop pestering him about the tournament. Hell, Kobalt would even spring for a first class ticket if it reduced the odds o
