It's been a couple more days of Sailing with a couple of stops at some docks that Jau first thought that the ship had arrived at Vacuo... but he found out that it's just a stop for the sailor to rest for half a day or so..
Jaune had rationed his food and currently have about 60 to 70 pert left of it in his bag, he figured that he would need some food for ter when he go travel to Shade.
Does he have the Liens to but some food? Yes. Would he still rationed his food to save some Lien? Yes.
He think that its the smart thing to do in his situation sidering that he would not have any source of ine and Shade Academy would only provide Shelter and foods.. so he o save his Liens if he o buy some important stuff iure..
Jaune probably o find a job or do some errands to get some money, it's not like Shade Academy will give their students monthly allowance sidering that they themselves is in need of moo support itself.
If it was Ats Academy, They would probably give their students monthly allowance... but then again, Ats Academy is really wealthy sidering that its you know... in Ats.. and is also a part of its Military...
Jaune guessed that Artoria would probably be join Ats Military... she would thrive in there with her personality and discipline...
It's been a while since Jaune had talked with Artoria, and the st time they had talked with each other was a couple of weeks ago and it turns our that Artoria had found herself a friend there.
Which is good for her because Artoria isn't good at making friends... from what Mordred had told him, the students in their bat school always tried to stay away from Artoria.
Not because they hated her or Artoria did something to them.. its just that they just not fond of Artoria's militaristic like personality...
Not that Jaune himself mind Artoria personality... but he himself would agree that people o get used to Artoria's personality to be friends with her.
And it's not like Artoria is always cold or things like that.. Jaune knows that she is kind and would banter with Mordred sometimes... Mordred may not say it but Jaune knows that she misses Artoria...
Speaking of his family.... he hoped that his family isn't that.... panicked... well who is he kidding, his dad probably is in the lead with his search party and Jaune wouldn't be suprised if he used his e with the Headmaster of Bea or some high ranked Huo help his father search for him.
Mom.... mom would probably cry..... Jaune really hated that he had most likely made his mother cried... the others would probably sees his mother cried in front of them for the first time... if Jaune was there, he would see it for the first time too..
Saphron would probably have a lot of gray hairs because of the chaos the house is most likely in because of him.. she Jaune know that she would most likely take over mom's duties and take care of the younger children like Noir, Bncheur and especially Olivia...
Artoria.... Jaune don't think that Artoria know that he is gohe other would had hidden the fact that he is missing from Artoria for the time being... as for how long before they tell Artoria? Maybe in a week... or 2 weeks at the lo... not that Jaune would bme the others for not telling Artoria, Because Jaune himself doesn't want Artoria to know as to not stress herself out... she doesn't o worry about him, she have her Huraining to prioritize... but Jaune knows that when they eventually tell her.. she would demaher dad or mom to get her bae so she help search for him...
Jeanne? Well... she would probably cried.. a lot.... and also prayed for his safety too.... Jaune doesn't know how or why, but she is suprisingly the mious out of the whole family... none of the family members is as religious as Jeanne, not close at all... they all believed in the brods, but do they worship them? No... and that's why it's suprising that Jeanne is the oo prayed to the brods the most..
Noir and Bncheur? Well Noir would probably quiet down for quite a while... Bncheur would bee even quieter... Jau out a sigh because he feels really Guilty about the fact that he had most likely made the loudest member of the family bee as quiet as her twin... and Bncheur would be even quieter than a mouse.m and all of that is his fault...
Olivia would be old enough to uand that something is wrong... but hopefully she doesn't realized that Jaune isn't with them anymore...
As.... as for Mordred?... Jaune.... he... he felt the most guilt for her... he doesn't know how much grief Mordred is in... fuck.... she probably cried the most.... and If Jaune know anything about Mordred... he would know that she would be a recluse inside her own bedroom.. Jaune doesn't know what to think about the fact that he had turned his sister... his love and spirited sister into a fhost of herself.... he really... really hope that she taken care of herself... Jaune doesn't wao get sick because of him... what if she starved herself because she doesn't have the mood to eat dinner without him? Jaune doesn't remember any breakfast or dihat Mordred had eaten without him... if Juane could bring her with him, he would... God fuck he would... but he 't...
He really... really hoped that the other took care of Mordred in his stead... its the only thing he do now... hope... hope that everything is alright with Mordred... because he know that she is the one who took him leaving the hardest... and he once again hoped that this doesn't sour Mordred and dad's currently retionship... he really doesn't wao bme their father for the fact that Jaune had to leave to be a hunter.m. but he know that it's a fool's wish...

A few hours had passed from the time Jaune had been stu his head thinking about his family.
Right now Jaune is preparing himself to sneak out of the ship, he had go of his hiding spot and currently perched ship's anchor preparing himself to jump to the docks as soon As it's close enough.
He o be fast and stealth because a lot of the crew is on the deow as they prepare to dock, thankfully it's dawn right now so it's still a little dark and the darkness hidden Jaune slightly.
"Prepare the anchor!" As soon as Jaune hear one of the crew members shouted out to prepare the anchor, he used reinfort on his legs and jumped onto the docks and start running as quietly as he into the buildings and alleyway.
Jau out a breath as he poke his head out of the alleyway to see the ship and used some reinfort on his ears to eavesdrop if the crew member hear him or sees him jumping off onto the docks.
"Deploying the anchor now! Prepare yourself"
"Aye Aye, captain!" One of the crew members shouted out.
"Stop being pying around!" That voice is ohat Jaune reized.. that's Mr.Rock's Voice...
"Aye Aye, Captain." Another crew member different that the first one answered bar.Rock.
"Dumbass... the lot of you..." Mr.Rock let out a sigh and Jaune couldn't help but let out a sigh of his own because it looks like they doesn't notice Jaune...
Hopefully his father or the others suspect that Jaune had stowaway on his ship because Jaunw didly hide the fact that he had helped Mr.Rock with his ship....
His father and the other most likely suspected that he had been kidnapped.. and his father wouldly think that Jaune had run away to be a hunter.... its been years since Jaune had give them any sign that he still desired to be a hunter.. only Mordred knows about it...
Jauhen shakes his head before he walks even further into the town and starts to look around.
The town isn't.... really in a good dition.. that Jaune see with his own two eyes... Jaune never expected that Vacuo would be anything like Vale... but.. but he doesn't expect this...
He see some of the building's roof had been torn arobably from the sandstorm that Mr. Andrew had told Jauhat had hit Vacuo a couple of months ago...- a few walls with... holes the same of some ptes and as he walk even further dowown, he see that its not aer...
On the trary, it's even worse than the house he docks.. why? Well some of the building is gone.. as in.. fly away gone.. wait.. that's not an apt description... how could he say it.. some of the building looks like it's been ripped off the ground by the sandstorm and what's left is some of the floors and foundation miraculously Still standing...
Jaune had only meet a couple of people that is up and about, probably preparing to start their day... which is obvious now that he thinks about it..
A few minutes had passed when Jaune heard a pained cry in the distant, which made his legs moves to where the sound is located on its own.
When Jaune finally realized where he is going, it's too te (not that he wouldn't go to the sound without his legs moving on its own) because he is in the mouth of an alley and see a couple of men trying to... Rob a couple of kids around Jaune's age..
One of the 2 kids, the boy, have a bck eye as he shield a girl with his his body, while the girl have some bruises on her arm..
"You know what to do squirt.. move away...." one of the thugs moves closer to the boy which made him cover the girl even more with his body.
"Go away! Fuck you!" He shouted at the thug which earned him a kick to his ribs.
"Ugh!" The boy let out a pained cry.
The other thug put a hand ohug number 1's shoulder a out a chuckle.
"Hey, don't hurt him too badly... you know I like it when they are still awake..." thug number 2 told thug number 1.
"I know... the brat deserved it anyway... you got the boy, I got the girl this time..." thug number 1 answered back to thug wo before he start to open his belt.
"Yeah... let's see how this one fare pared to the st brats we dealt with." Thug number 2 also start to open his belt.
Jaune is still in shock at what he is seeing but he quickly shakes his head and run up to the thugs and used a low level reinfort to kick thugs number one head in the wall, imbedding thugs number 2's head into the wall with a bone g sound before Jaune quickly hook his feet on the back of thug number 1's head and uses it to sm him head first into the ground and Jaune see some blood pooling slowly at the small crater..
Jau out a pant because of the adrenalihat is c through the vein at the fact that this is the first time he is fighting another person other than Mordred but she shakes his head to clear his brains and quickly go to the kids.
"Hey, hey! Are you two okay?" He reach out a hand to the boy which the boy flinched away before he sees that Jaune is also a kid like him.
"You.... what... what happeo the 2 fuckers?" He slowly stop c the girl's body with his own and sit up straighter to look at Jaune who is standing over him with his hand offered to the boy.
"Well... they're..." Jaune look back to the two man that he had... subdued.... "they're taken care of..."
"Yeah.. I see that now.... thanks.." the boy thanked Jau Jaune 't helped but look at the two man..
He had thought that these despicable man only wao rob the kids... but.. it turns our that their pns was something much.. much more disgusting... Jaune see the both of them still breathing... as faintly as they could..
But Jaune couldn't feel a little bit sorry for them, Jaune could guess why but it's obvious enough... he also think that he wouldn't feel guilty if they died.. as shog as it sound even to himself.. but he couldn't care for their lives...
Something deep inside Jaune is telling him to pull out his sword and finish the job.. but he shakes his head out of that thought because even if he didn't kill them, they both already got what they at least deserved... both of them doesn't looks like they have their Aura unlocked and Jaunes did kicked them really... hard on their heads.. with reinfort no less... Jaune feel the g sensation that his feet felt from their skull...
Jaune wouldn't help them nor would he ask someooo help them.. if they survive at all.. they probably have brain damages from the traumatic brain injury and also the cracked skull...
"You...." Jaune quickly turn his head back to the boy as he heard his voice. "What's your name?"
Jauays silent before he give the boy alongside the girl who sneak a look at Jaune from behind the boy's back a smile. "My name is.. Jaun-... John...."
"John Luna.."

[AN: BTW.. before you say that Jaune is ag OOC.. there are good reasons for that... as for what that reason is? I know you guys are smart enough about what is Jaune's.. "situation".. I am ly subtle with the lore that I gave... its easy to put two and two together, but I won't spoil it if you guys still didn't mao figure out why Jaune is ag like that.]
