What's next?
All the Smoke!
Dolan: So, who's first?
Everyone: ...
Dolan: Don't be shy now, we have the entire class period so if no one's willing to step up then I guess I'll just start wi-
???: I'll go first!
Everyone in the room turned toward the sound of the voice to see a certain individual standing up as if to answer Dolan's challenge. The individual was tall with burnt orange hair wearing a full set of plated armor and a bird with wings outstretched on his chest piece. Dolan recognized the man in question from when Ozpin announced the teams at the end of initiations. It was the leader of Team CRDL, Cardin Winchester. Among all the first years he would probably fit the stereotype of a "school bully".
Cardin: The names Cardin Winchester and I don't care who you are! If you have the balls to come up in here and disrespect 'me' then be prepared for a world of hurt!
If only he had known exactly who he was addressing. Unlike the first years, everyone from the second through the fourth-year students knew of Dolan and his infamous reputation for establishing the pecking order in Beacon for all the new students. The established list was made to show where it was that newcomers stacked up when at Beacon.
The Beacon Pecking Order
1. Ozpin
2. Glynda
3. Dolan (Your King)
4. Fourth years
5. Third years
6. Second years
7. The dirt
8. The worms inside the dirt
9. First years
10. Those who think they're 'Hot Shit'!
Outside of Ozpin and his aunt, Dolan would make sure any who would step into this school knew exactly who was at the top and he was about to make perfectly sure Cardin understood this. Before they started, Dolan removed his jacket to reveal the black t-shirt with the word 'Supreme' written on it as well as the sword that was hidden underneath it. Next, he placed the sword on the table before turning around to face Cardin.
Cardin: You're not going to use your weapon?
Dolan: Against you, it would be a complete waste of time.
Cardin: (Cocky Piece of Shit!)
Dolan: Anyway, Cardin, was it? Since you were the first to volunteer, I'll allow you the first swing.
Cardin: Is that so? Well then, I hope you don't regret it!
Dolan: Cue the music!

Cardin charges forward with both hands on his mace and goes for a vertical strike against Dolan. While this was happening, Dolan stood there with both hands behind his back waiting for Cardin to get close. When Cardin was in range, he brought his mace down onto Dolan only for him to dodge out of the way causing Cardin to miss his attack and slam the ground with his mace. The next thing Cardin saw when he turned toward Dolan was a grin followed by the back of his hand slapping Cardin in the face causing him to spin around in the air several times before falling and landing on his back. It took several moments for Cardin to adjust himself before getting back up.
Cardin: Hey what's the big idea!? I thought you said I could have the first hit on you!?
Dolan: Really? From what I recall I believe I only said that you could have the first swing...right? I never said anything about letting you have the first hit!
Cardin: Fucking Bastard!
Dolan: Tell you what, I'll do you a solid and let you and your team fight me all at once to improve your chances of beating me! How's that sound?
Upon hearing this Cardin went wide-eyed before smiling. He then turned toward his team and motioned them over with his head. Soon the remaining members of Cardin's team joined him with their weapons drawn and assuming a battle formation a very clunky and poor battle formation.
Cardin: (Heh...what an idiot! Let's see how tough he thinks he is when all four of us attack him at once!)
Cardin: Alright guys, let's get him!
Cardin: Charge!
Dolan: (Big mistake!)
Meanwhile, in the stands, everyone is watching as Dolan picks team CRDL one by one with hardly any effort. The expressions on their faces were a mixture of those who were enjoying Cardin's team getting demolished while others showed disgust questioning how in the world, people like them got into Beacon with such poor fighting skills and lack of teamwork? The two most disgusted by this were Weiss and Pyrrha.
Ruby: Um...don't they see that's not working?
Weiss: No, they don't. They're just mindlessly swinging and hoping to land a hit on him.
Back to the fight, one of Cardin's team members by the name of Sky Lark goes in to attack Dolan with his ax only for Dolan to grab the handle of Sky's weapon with his right hand and land a clean 'left hook' on his chin completely disorientating him. He is then tossed against the wall and is unable to continue leaving only three members remaining. Next up Dove Bronzewing tries multiple swings only for them to completely miss and when he goes for a stab, Dolan performs a backflip catching Dove's jaw with his foot in the process knocking him into the air before crashing down to the ground with his eyes rolling into the back of his head and wouldn't be able to continue leaving just two people left. Dolan turns his attention to the light-green mohawk of Russel Thrush who upon seeing his other teammates on the ground tosses his weapons on the ground and puts his hands in the air to signal his surrender. Unfortunately, for him, Dolan was not about to show him any mercy, for in a blink of an eye, he is in front of Russel and without warning kicks him square in the dick causing him to slowly fall to his knees in pain before slumping over clutching his junk.
Cardin: Wh-Why did you do that? He had already given up?
Dolan: Tell me if I were a criminal or even a Grimm, would I have shown him mercy or stopped attacking him?
Cardin: ...
Dolan: Allow me to spare you from using any more brain cells and just give you the answer...It's No.
Dolan: Never expect any mercy from your foe especially if it's a Grimm!
Dolan: Now give me everything you've got! I'll even do you the courtesy of staying right where I am!
Seeing as he is the only one left and out of options, Cardin slides a gravity dust cartridge into his mace to make his next swing hit even harder. He then charges Dolan for the final time and swings his mace directly toward Dolan's head. However, what happens next leaves not only Cardin but the rest of the class dumbfounded. True to his word Dolan remains where he's at and lets Cardin attack him with all his might only for Dolan to stop his mace in its tracks with just his pinky.
Cardin: Th-There's just no way? How?
Dolan answers by kicking Cardin in the gut causing him to fly into the wall. When he doesn't get up Dolan sees that he is unconscious and unable to continue. With that, all of team CRDL has been defeated with hardly any effort whatsoever.
Dolan: Is there anybody willing to take these poor bastards to the Nurse's office?
Four people stand up to reveal Blake, Jaune, Nora, and Ren making their way to Cardin's team members and picking them up before making their way to the door.
Dolan: There's a chance I may have to start calling people up should I receive no more volunteers so do hurry back once you get them to the nurse!
Once the four people carrying team CRDL were outside the room they all looked to each other for a few moments before Jaune spoke up.
Jaune: So... all in favor of taking our time say 'I'.
Everyone: I!
Back in the classroom after Jaune and the others leave to bring team CRDL to the nurse. Dolan continues his unprecedented winning streak by picking people to challenge him since no one seemed to volunteer. In thirty minutes, he had already scored eight more victories including one over the 'Pipsqueak', Ruby Rose. To her credit, it wasn't that she was a poor fighter she managed to put up a better fight and even lasted longer than team CRDL, however it was only when Dolan was able to snatch away her precious 'Cresent Rose' was when the tide shifted away from her. It was quite obvious to him that she spent more time fighting with a scythe rather than fighting hand to hand given how poorly it went for her without her weapon.
Dolan: Sorry about that "Pipsqueak" you, ok?
Ruby: Yeah, I'm ok but what you did was unfair! You took my weapon from me!
Dolan: Heh...that's why it's called an 'unfair' advantage!
Dolan: You've come a long way and it shows in how you fight. If Qrow were here right now he'd probably be very proud of you for incorporating everything he's taught you so far!
Ruby: Do you mean that?
Dolan: I do, however, while you are skilled with a scythe you may want to learn a bit of hand to hand in the event that you can't quite get to your weapon.
???: Oh, trust me she's tried!
Turning his head, Dolan soon finds a slender blonde with a nice rack (which he tries not to focus on) beside him. Without a doubt, this was the niece that he had heard about for a long time now and according to Qrow her dad Tai calls her his "Sunny little dragon".
Dolan: Yang Xiao Long... I've heard so much about you.
Yang: Anything noteworthy handsome~
Dolan: A good bit to be sure however I always find seeing better than believing!
Yang: Well, play your cards right and you might be 'seeing' a whole lot more of me~
Ruby: Yang!
Dolan: Hahaha...sorry but that's not going to be enough to warrant some "extra credit" for you~
Yang: Party-pooper.
Dolan: Anyway, I take it you're not just here to introduce yourself, are you?
Yang: You'd be right!
Yang: *Ahem* My name is Yang Xiao Long, you hurt my sister, prepare to die!
Dolan: Are you serious?
Yang: What? I've always wanted to use that reference!
Dolan: Well then...I accept your challenge.
