It's Ruby's complete lose

Ruby tried to rally as she fired her shoots. She really did. But her fire of indignation had gone out and she kept getting distracted even more than she had been before. She was now more exposed to the wandering eyes of the crowd than ever. She could almost feel the dozens of people eyeing up her ample panty-clad behind and the small bit of cloth covering her pussy from view. Ruby did have a rather impressive ass, one that she usually kept hidden under a large skirt. And she had certainly never shown it to anyone at school. But now everyone knew that Ruby was packing a surprisingly amount of junk in her trunk. It was mortifying.

Still, instincts helped guide her rifle from target to target through her mortification. But her mind continued to wander. It clearly wasn't her best work.

And it showed when the buzzer sounded. Her score sat at a much lower 254. While May's sat at a comfortable 304.

"Looks like the pressure got to you after all." May said with a smirk. "I knew you'd look cute trembling with embarrassment."

This was it, she was finally in the position Velvet had been. Embarrassed and mortified. Shaking like a leaf while a lusty crowd cheers for her punishment to show them her naked body. When she had started this competition she had briefly imagined this scenario playing out before she dismissed it as unlikely to happen. But now here she was, in that exact situation.

Her heart thundered in her chest and her breath came in gasps. She felt like she couldn't get any more embarrassed than she already was but she knew that in mere moments she would be. Her mind all but shut down.

With trembling hands she reached behind her and started unhooking her bra. The crowd really loved that, so much that Ruby's hands fumbled about, taking a fair bit longer than she really needed to as she listened to their increased cheers. But at last the hooks where undone and Ruby's back was completely bare. She slide the black bra straps off her shoulders and, with a burst of bravery, pulled it off her body, her bare breasts now exposed to the open air before she covered them up with an arm.

Ruby didn't know if the crowd actually cheered any louder (they had been loud for a while) but it certainly felt like it. Her bra held in one hand and covering her breasts with the other, she moved and held it up for May. May grabbed it still sporting that same smirk and held the bra over her head like a trophy. The crowd really liked that one. Ruby simply stood there looking at the ground in shame, covering her breasts with both of her arms as May showed everyone a piece of her underwear like it was something to be proud of.

"Come on Beacon." May said into her ear. "Your audience wants to see you."

May grabbed Ruby's shoulders and lightly spun her toward the crowd. Then she reached up and lightly grabbed Ruby's wrists and began to move them. It was only a light touch rather than anything forceful. Ruby could have easily resisted if she wanted to. But in the end, she didn't.

And so with some help from May, Ruby Rose's bare breasts were exposed to strangers for the first time.

Ruby stood there topless, May lightly holding her arms at her side, clad in only a plain pair of black panties in front of the audience of classmates and visitors. As much as she wanted to clench her eyes shut and pretend this wasn't happening, she kept them open and looked at the crowd.

It was as she feared. Word of the competition and her being in her underwear had no doubt spread as the size of the crowd seemed to have grown again. She really hoped none of the teachers decided to investigate. She saw even more of her classmates, and she knew she'd probably never be able to talk to them the same way again after they saw her humiliated like this.

Like her ass, Ruby's breasts were nothing to be ashamed of. While she wasn't as gifted as Yang's prestigious bust, she had decently sized breasts that she, again, kept hidden away under concealing clothing. Aware of what Ruby's body shape was truly like, a lot of her classmates in the audience mentally raised her up multiple spots in the class attractiveness hierarchy.

And of course there were the cameras from scrolls going off. Everyone was getting a picture of Ruby's breasts. Ruby shuddered. Everyone here was seeing her topless. She could feel her reputation at Beacon plummeting by the second. People here might share with her friends, or even post this on the CCT. She'd like to say she was horrified or even deadened to it all, but instead she felt, well, good?

That can't be right can it? No, it can't.

As 30 seconds passed, May let go of Ruby's wrists and Ruby shyly moved her arms up to cover herself up. She didn't have the heart to look over at Velvet to see her reaction.

"How cute, you're like a little kitten with how meek you are now." Mai said. "Do you have what it takes to face me in the final round? Or do you want to forfeit?"

Forfeit? As in give up?

"If you bow down on your hands and knees and acknowledge me as the better sniper I'll let you run home wearing those panties. Otherwise I'll strip you right here in front of everyone."

It was tempting, so tempting, for Ruby to give up. But to bow down in a humiliating way in front of a lot of her classmates and strangers? Saying someone was better than her and she had no chance of measuring up?

Humiliation by exposing her naked body was bad, but could she sacrifice her pride as a huntress?
