A last burst of useless defiance sees her stripped

Ruby's pride had certainly taken a beating over the course of this competition. Not only had someone actually outshot her in her best event but she was being humiliated in front of a decent part of her fellow huntsmen by exposing her body. As she was right now she stood little chance of making a comeback against May with five straight wins needed for overall victory. She was too rattled and shaken by events.

But she still had her pride as a huntress. As a warrior. Bowing down and begging for mercy in front of everyone would have shattered that, even if it would have left her running back to her room in just a pair of panties. A hero doesn't give up, even if the odds are against them. They fight on to the last blow.

And so Ruby gathered her courage and picked up the practice rifle.

"I'm going to keep going." Ruby said as she fixed May with a resolute stare.

May looked at her in surprise. And perhaps even a little respect.

"Well you've got guts I'll give you that." May said with a smile. "But we'll see how long that lasts."

The crowd cheered as Ruby and May took their positions again. A few even felt their respect for Ruby grow at her determination to keep going. More than a few of them would have bowed out, but here this girl was continuing in a hopeless situation. It was a bit inspiring.

Of course that didn't stop them from taking pictures of Ruby's bent over panty clad ass.

The buzzer rang, the last round began, and eventually ended. It wasn't even close. Just like Velvet, Ruby was too shaken and embarrassed to give a good attempt and it ended in her fifth loss. And thus the honor of Beacon Academy and Velvet went unavenged.

"Yeah! Shade number one!" May cried out. And the crowd cheered in appreciation of her talents.

"TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!" They yelled. They were looking forward to Ruby's last humiliation.

Ruby's heart thundered in her chest as she realized that this was it. She was going to get completely naked in front of everyone. This was really not what she thought would happen to her when she left her dorm room only an hour before.

"Well Ruby? Are you a woman of your word? Or am I going to have the be the one to strip you again?" May asked with a smirk.

Ruby swallowed heavily. She couldn't possibly feel more shame than she was right now. But she refused to make a meek showing like she had with her bra. And also, she secretly was a bit curious about her feeling from last time. Could this really feel good?

And so Ruby turned and faced the crowd before gripping the waistband of her black panties. The crowd watched with bated breath.

Ruby bent down and slowly began to inch her panties down. First exposing her ass before one last bit of courage pushed her through and finally exposed her hairless pussy to the open air.

The crowd went wild as Ruby continued to drop her panties down her soft thighs and legs all the way to her ankles before she stepped out of them, exposing her completely naked body to the crowd. Many photos and videos were taken as Ruby turned to May and handed her her last bit of clothing. May accepted the black cloth with grace and held it up over her head, yet another trophy for her collection.

As Ruby stood there like a statue trying not to look too much at the crowd, May gathered up Ruby's bra and panties and one hand and Velvet's set of underwear in her other. Then displayed both of them.

"Yes! Two whole pairs! I'm unstoppable!" She yelled. The crowd loved it.

Ruby looked all around her seeing nothing but a sea of faces and scrolls. People even began to move around behind her so they could get shots of her ass. Everyone was getting in on a piece of the action. She saw new faces in the crowd that she recognized. People from her History, Grimm Studies, and Combat classes. People she'd only seen in the lunch room or in passing in the library. Rival teams she recognized from other schools. And of course team CRDL, the bullies of her year, the four boys unashamed as they blatantly pointed their scrolls at her, taking video and picture after picture. Cardin even had the audacity to give her a thumbs up when he saw her looking at him, his smirk almost as satisfied at her humiliation as May's was.

She looked over at Velvet and saw the older girl looking at her with a blend of resignation, disappointment, and pity, still clutching her red cloak tightly around her naked body to have at least a little bit of modesty. Briefly, Ruby thought about going over and taking her cloak back before discarding the idea. This was her own fault. If she had performed better Velvet would gotten her clothes back. She couldn't punish Velvet for her own mistakes. This humiliation was hers alone to bear.

At last 30 seconds passed and Ruby instantly clamped her arms over her breasts and crotch. Not that that stopped the crowd from looking at her. She was tempted to just use her semblance and run all the way back to her dorm room and hide under the covers of her bed for the next week or two.

"Well that was fun." May said. "But this was a double or nothing remember? You still owe me a dare."

Ruby had honestly forgotten about the dare until now.

"C-Can it wait?" A red faced Ruby protested.

"No. No I think I'll collect it now." May said with a cruel smile. "Now what should I have a naked girl like you do?"
