Jaune and Ren's new reality

Jaune walked down Beacon’s halls with Ren, embarrassed and in disbelief. He couldn’t believe he was walking to the guidance counselor’s room because of what Nora had done. It wasn’t his fault that Nora stripped off all her clothes in the middle of class, and he couldn’t help but stare at the sexy, naked body sitting right next to him.

Ren spoke as if he read his thoughts, “It’s because you kept screaming her name repeatedly and disrupted her class.”

Jaune frowned. “It’s still unreasonable that I should be punished because Nora stripped out of her clothes. Everyone was staring at us, and it was getting uncomfortable. Just because they didn’t make too much of a deal about it compared to me seems unfair, no matter what she says.”

Ren sighed, “It did seem harsh to say that as a team leader, it's your responsibility to rein her in, but she isn’t necessarily wrong either. What’s strange is that instead of giving you detention, she sent you to the guidance counselor.”

Jaune replied, “You didn’t have to accompany me. I would’ve been fine, but thanks for coming.”

Ren nodded, “It wasn’t only for you, though. Nora has been acting strange lately. Her stripping isn’t the only concern.”

Jaune questioned, “What do you mean? She seems fine otherwise.”

“It's hard to explain, but Nora has been acting colder and more distant lately. It doesn’t show in her speech or actions, but it feels like something is missing. She feels like a stranger to me all of a sudden, and I’m worried about the reason why. I was hoping that Mike would be able to help and shed some light on the situation, which was why I came along with you.”

Jaune sighed, “Sorry, I didn’t notice.”

Ren shook his head, “Don’t worry about it. I only hope we can fix it before it's too late. I can’t imagine what would make her close herself off like that.”

“All the girls have been acting weird lately, especially Weiss. Her burping and farting are annoying and disgusting.”

Ren raised an eyebrow. “You’re no longer pining after her, then.”

Jaune looked away in shame and responded, “After her new behavior, no way.”

“There are always other fish in the sea. Maybe someone close by is interested in you.”

“I doubt it,” Jaune mumbled as they reached Mike’s office.

The two of them entered Mike’s office and saw him sitting on the couch, watching a movie and eating popcorn.

He looked up towards the two of them with a smile as he said, “Come on in and make yourselves at home.”

Jaune instantly relaxed in his presence. Mike seemed like such a friendly and dependable guy.

“Nobody usually comes around this time of day unless they’re forced, so why were the two of you sent here?”

Jaune laughed nervously, “Well, only I was sent here. Ren only tagged along. I couldn’t help but interrupt Glynda’s class since Nora went completely nude in the middle of class.”

Mike smirked, “I see, you couldn’t handle Nora’s sexy body, huh.”

Jaune blushed, “Ummmm....well...I...”

Mike walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder, “It’s okay. We can’t all have luck with the ladies.”

Ren raised an eyebrow. “Do you even have any luck with the ladies?”

Mike had a smug smile on his face as he replied, “Of course.”

“Any luck with ladies not at Beacon?” questioned Ren.

Mike’s smile faltered slightly, but it quickly recovered. “I haven’t had the chance to sample what Vale has to offer yet, but maybe I should make some plans sooner rather than later.”

Jaune coughed, “Moving back on topic, do you have any advice on how to stop Nora from stripping or any information on why she’s doing it in the first place?”

“I can’t say I do, but it won’t matter much longer since your team is being split up soon.”

Jaune looked shocked as he asked, “What do you mean? Are they kicking me out of Beacon? Is it because of my grades?”

Mike smiled wryly, “No, you’re not being kicked out of Beacon, though I suggest working harder, so that’s not even a possibility. What’s happening is that you and Ren are going to be swapping members with another team. I don’t know if you’re aware of them, but it's team CFVY.”

Ren frowned, “Isn’t that Coco’s team?”

“It was her team; as of tomorrow, Coco will be leading a team consisting of herself, Velvet, Pyrrha, and Nora. Meanwhile, you will be the leader of the team, which will consist of you, Ren, Yats, and Fox.”

Jaune questioned, “Aren’t they second-year students?”

“Yes, all its members have agreed to join you as first-year students again. However, since there aren’t going to be any rooms available because the Vytal Festival is coming up, you and Ren will have to move into Team Caffeine's room while Coco and Velvet will stay in your current room.”

Jaune sighed, “I don’t know what to say. Is there any way that the decision could be reversed?”

“No, it's already in motion. Look at the bright side, Jaune, you won’t have to deal with Nora’s problems anymore. Plus, I talked to Yats and Fox, and they agreed to give you some extra training, so your combat skills are up to par.”

Ren frowned, “I can’t accept this. There must be some other way to fix this.”

Mike smiled, “Oh, Ren, there isn’t, and soon you won’t want to change it either.”

Ren didn’t have the time to be confused as he immediately put them into a hypnotic trance.

He sent Ren into the other room and started with Jaune first. Mike increased Jaune’s devotion to becoming a great huntsman so that he'd work harder to become a better fighter. He also made him trust his words above all others. Mike also removed Jaune’s ability to gain romantic or sexual feelings for any huntress or huntress in training. He could settle down with a civilian when the time comes, but there’s no reason to give him hope only to take it away from him.

Ren was next. He turned all the love Ren felt for Nora into lust instead. He no longer wanted to grow old with Nora; instead, he simply wanted to fuck her. Mike only made this worse by making Nora’s body seem perfect for him. Now, Ren can’t help but get extremely horny whenever he sees her body. It's too bad that Nora is completely uninterested in him and will never want to touch him, so the closest he’ll ever come is in his fantasies.

The final thing he did was make them both happy about their team's transfers before releasing them from their trance. Mike smirked as he watched the two of them walk out feeling happier and lighter than they did before.
