Timeskip to the start of next semester.

(Okay, we're time skipping here Mind Collector, but I would be more than happy to include a separate branch from last chapter on regarding sexy side stories that happened during said timeskip, and you are more than welcome to contribute.)

Things had been going fairly well over the course of the next couple of months as the Festival approached. Though Jaune had of course been as discreet as he could stand to be, there had been a few fun times all around, and it seemed Ozpin was watching him less, but he was being careful not to let his guard down.

The semester came to a close, and the new one began, Glynda informing them they were getting a team of exchange students by the names of Mercury Black, Cinder Fall, Trivia Vanille (Neo's real name, though she now uses it as an alias here.) and Emerald Sustrai from Haven soon.

Jaune hoped Emerald, Cinder and Trivia were hot. Well, he'd have to wait to find out.

Of course, there were also some other things that occured. At one point, Jaune had admitted to Yang and Pyrrha that he had faked his transcripts to get into Beacon, but by that point, they shrugged it off easily. After all, they knew Jaune had gained the base of his fighting ability from the Sex Note by this point, and Pyrrha decided the best punishment was to put him through training from hell... She eventually motivated him by creating a rule that she would strip off a piece of armor each time he landed a hit.

Naturally, he also paid Penny and Ciel some visits, and was looking into other teams the other Kingdoms had sent over. Little luck there, though he found out one of them was an all female team... That was one he had to get a good look at, and hopefully use the Note on. Shame the city outside of Beacon was so large with so many hotels, made scouting difficult.

At any rate, his team and Ruby's were now sitting together, and Ruby had dragged him into announcing plans to make this semester truly epic. So as they stood together, Ruby said, "Friends! And Weiss..."

"Hey!" Weiss protested as Jaune chuckled. Close as Ruby and Weiss had gotten, to the point he was considering putting them in an official lesbian relationship within the harem, they still poked fun at each other on a regular basis. They were like an old married couple really...

"It is officially the start of a new semester!" Ruby continued in her grandiose fashion. "And I for one, plan to kick things off with a bang!"

"I think both Jaune and I would prefer to kick things off with a "Yang,"" Yang said, giving Jaune a flirty wink.

"...points for flirting Yang, demerits for the pun," Jaune deadpanned.

"You're no fun," Yang pouted. She playfully flicked the olive from the stick stuck on her sandwich at Jaune, who sidestepped, and it hit another student, who retaliated by flicking another piece of food back at Yang... which hit her hair... Uh oh...

"...oh, it's on now," Yang said, standing.

"...I guess we're doing this now," Jaune sighed to Ruby, who just chuckled at Yang's antics as she proceeded to throw some more food around, attracting attention.

"What can I say? With Yang, things tend to escalate quickly," she said.
