The Weak grow to be Strong

-Flashback-

The sounds of blades clashing echos throughout the Emerald Forest as Dolan is locked in fierce combat. Though he may try his opponent leaves him with very little room to breathe let alone form a counterattack. What's worse was the fact that she hardly looked worse for wear. Seeing he can't handle her in a straight-on engagement Dolan leaps into the trees to try and catch her off guard with the element of surprise.

???: Good, very good! You're aware of your opponent's advantage and elected to try things from a different approach!

???: At the very least you get some honest praise!

???: However, against me, this simply won't do!

She closes her eyes and begins to sense Dolan's location using her "Aura Detection" to locate him. Vanishing in a flash she quickly makes her way towards Dolan's direction however just as she's getting the drop on him, she sees that the aura signature she was on homing in on was a log hanging in the tree by a rope.

???: (Ara Ara, he left a strong aura signature on this log to play tricks with my senses. Naughty boy, it's not polite to string a woman along like this~)

It was at this moment she sensed another aura signature closing in on her fast. It was Dolan using his aura to create a rope to swing from one tree to another and using this to quickly close the distance between him and his opponent. Using the built-up momentum, he flings himself straight at her like a bullet and was about to land a clean hit with his sword. But...

Dolan: Now you're mine! Take this you Bit-

As he was about to hit her, she grabbed his sword with her bare hands and slams Dolan into the tree upside-down. Before he has time to react, his opponent kicks him in the gut not only knocking the wind out of him but also through the tree itself. Both Dolan and the upper part of the tree tumble down to the ground below smashing into it with a loud thud.

Dolan: *Cough*, *Cough*, *Cough*...Uhhhhh.

???: You still alive little man!?

Dolan: *Cough*...I don't know? Is perhaps the fact that I'm coughing and currently spitting out my FUCKING LUNGS, not a clear indication, Master!!!?

???: Oh, come on baby boy~

???: Don't be so butt hurt! You almost hit me!

Dolan: Dammit why do I even need to do this Satella?! You're like the strongest in the entire kingdom and I'm grasping at straws just to even scratch you!

Dolan: I'm just...too weak. I can never be as good as you.

Dolan's mentor slowly makes her way to her apprentice and gives him a bear hug, trapping him in between her massive breasts almost suffocating him. Once she lets him go, she pats him on his shoulder before holding out her hand to lift him to his feet.

Satella: Dolan I think you're forgetting a very basic concept.

Dolan: And what is that?

Satella: I wasn't always this strong. Like you I too was weak. But I continued to train and better myself into who I am now.

Satella: "The weak grow to be strong" Dolan. It doesn't matter whether they're Human or Faunus, rich or poor, everyone has the capacity to grow and be strong. The only thing needed is for them to be willing to try and grasp it with their own hands.

Dolan: But that doesn't always mean they can get strong just from that alone.

Satella: Yes, I suppose sometimes that isn't enough. In which case perhaps what that person needs...

Satella: Is someone willing to believe in them, to offer up a helping hand.

Satella: Anyway, let's grab our things. We'll be leaving for Atlas shortly to meet with Willow and Winter. Better make sure you look your best when we meet with them got it, Casanova?!

She turns around and begins to walk away. But not before imparting one last thing to Dolan.

Satella: You know someday you may find someone who had it similar to you, Dolan. And if that day does come, it will be up to you whether or not you're willing to help nurture that person's potential or turn a blind eye to it.

-End of Flashback-

It was at this moment Dolan opens his eyes to be greeted by the morning light and bringing him back to reality. He apparently had dreamt of a time long gone when his master...when his mother was still alive.

Dolan: ...

Dolan: Why was I dreaming about that of all things?

The class was finishing up with its last sparring match of the day. The combatants were Jaune Arc the leader of Team JNPR and the leader of Team CRDL, Cardin "Ain't Hot Shit" Winchester. As Dolan was watching the match if you could even call it that; wasn't going so well for dear Jaune that's for damn sure. The poor guy is completely tired out while Cardin has barely broken a sweat.

Jaune: *pant*, *pant*...

Catching his breath Jaune charges at Cardin while screaming like a fucking banshee only to whiff his attack and leaves himself open for Cardin to smack him with his mace sending him into the air losing his shield in the process. Standing back up Jaune charges him again this time with an overhead strike only for Cardin to block the attack. Both are at a standstill trying to push the other back with Cardin showing he has the advantage.

Cardin: This is the part where you lose.

Jaune: Over my dead b-

Before Jaune could finish that incredibly overused one-liner, Cardin nails him in the gut with his knee causing Jaune to fall to the floor. Just as Cardin was about to land the finishing blow Dolan's aunt calls the match.

Glynda: That's enough!

Looking at the aura levels Jaune was in the red while Cardin...didn't take a single hit to his aura.

Dolan: (Monty Christ, he was beating the dog shit out of him.)

Glynda: Students, as you can see Mr. Arc's aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-style duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle and that the official may call the match.

Glynda: Mr. Arc it's been weeks now, please refer to your scroll in combat. Gauging your aura will help you decide when it is appropriate to attack or when it is better to move a more defensive strategy.

Jaune: ...*sigh*...

Glynda: We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf now, would we?

Cardin: (Tch, speak for yourself.)

Glynda: Remember everyone, the "Vytal Festival" is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale! So, keep practicing! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!

With that, the bell rings and everyone begins heading out the door. Though as Dolan looks at Jaune who seems to be down in the dumps. Dolan then notices Pyrrha seems to be just as sad seeing Jaune struggle as he did.

Dolan: (This isn't my problem. Pyrrha is on his team, so she'll probably convince him to train with her no doubt about it.)

Glynda: Dolan?!

Dolan: Yes, what is it, Aunty Glynda?

Glynda: Would you be willing to help me after your lunch break? I would appreciate your assistance in bringing the leftover student files to Administrations with me.

Dolan knew full well from that his aunt could simply use her telekinesis to bring all the files easily to their destination without his help. However, judging by the soft smile on her face this was just her way of wanting to spend some time with him despite her busy schedule.

Dolan: Sure thing!

Entering the dining room Dolan spots Heli off to the side and decides to go and talk with her.

Dolan: Heli you alright?

Heli: Yeah, it's just that these shirts for our uniform just feel too small.

Dolan: Or perhaps it's because your breasts don't like to be constrained is all~

Heli: Pervert...

Dolan: Heh, heh, I've been called worse~

Dolan: So anyway, where are the others?

Heli: Eli is assisting Profe-...I mean Doctor Oobleck. Cyan is with Professor Port, no doubt slowly putting a gun to his head and itching to pull the trigger. And Oliver is...well he's still trying to petition the use of his robot dogs to help around the school so...

Dolan: He's doing absolutely nothing.

Heli: Yay, that about sums it up.

Dolan: Well at least...huh?

Just as he was about to continue his thoughts on the matter, he sees something from the corner of his eye. It was Cardin and the rest of his team harassing one of the second-year students. But not just any second-year student no it was the cute and loveable Rabbit Faunus, Velvet Scarlatina. Among all the girls in Beacon Velvet was easily among his top ten favorites for sweet nature as well as those adorable bunny ears of hers. So, seeing Cardin and his team not only harass her but go so far as to call her a freak was the last straw.

Dolan: Heli...

Heli: Yay Dolan?

Dolan: Let me borrow one of your Dust knives. I've got four bitches I need to shank to death.

Before Heli could try to convince Dolan not to resort to violence, someone was already walking past them and straight in Cardin's direction. Looking at the outfit Dolan and Heli knew exactly who it was considering there was only one person in all of Beacon who wore a beret, had incredible fashion sense, and would square up with anyone who hurt her precious "Bun Bun". Yep, Beacon Academy's self-proclaimed Queen...

"Coco Adel"
