Họ đang được rồi tôi đoán. "Nhưng tôi không biết bao nhiêu tôi có thể ngồi thông qua trong một hàng, đặc biệt là nếu họ đang tất cả như là một," cô ấy trả lời."Vâng bạn đang ở may mắn sau đó!" Ruby vỗ tay hoan hô. "Huấn luyện chiến đấu là tới!"Neo cười, "âm thanh như niềm vui. Hey Yang, có lẽ chúng tôi sẽ nhận được một rematch. ""Không mong đợi để giành chiến thắng lần này nếu chúng ta làm," các blonde nói với một grin. Cả hai đã đi trở lại và ra cho đến khi họ đến đấu trường và lấy chỗ ngồi của mình, gia nhập trở lại với đội JNPR. Giáo sư Goodwitch đi bộ đến Trung tâm của vòng một thời gian ngắn sau khi, nhìn di chuyển của mình."Được rồi sinh viên, hôm nay chúng tôi sẽ làm một cái gì đó một chút khác nhau," cô ấy bắt đầu. "Hôm nay chúng tôi sẽ sparring ngẫu nhiên cặp để kiểm tra khả năng của bạn để thích ứng với các đối tác mới và phong cách chiến đấu của họ."Neo khảo sát các sinh viên khác trong phòng, quyết định vào đầu những người cô nào và sẽ không muốn được kết hợp với. Trái tim của cô gần như ngừng lại khi cô nhốt mắt với một quen thuộc bạc tóc cậu bé và cô gái tóc màu xanh lá cây trên đường. 'Oh Chúa ơi, họ làm gì ở đây?' cô nghĩ trong một hoảng loạn. ' Than đã gửi chúng đến kết thúc tôi đi? Làm cho nó trông giống như một tai nạn đào tạo?'"Chúng tôi trận đầu tiên: Russel Thrush và Jaune Arc, chống lại Ruby Rose và Mercury đen," Glynda tiếp tục, gián đoạn của Neo suy nghĩ. Bốn học sinh bước vào đấu trường và đứng với đối tác của họ. Hoa hậu Goodwitch bước ra ngoài vòng và chờ một thời điểm để các máy bay tiêm kích thảo luận về phong cách chiến đấu của họ. "Sẵn sàng... Bắt đầu!" Trận đấu bắt đầu, nhưng Neo không thể giữ sự chú ý của mình trên các máy bay chiến đấu. Chiêm ngưỡng của cô liên tục lang thang để Emerald, người stared trở lại vào cô ấy cho chiều dài của trận đấu với một loại trừ trống. Một té nghe cái bịch lớn cuối cùng mang lại sự chú ý của Neo lại đến trường, nơi Jaune và Russel đã nằm choáng váng trên mặt đất. "Và đó là trận đấu! Công việc tuyệt vời,"Goodwitch gọi là ra, bước trở lại vào vòng. Các máy bay tiêm kích quay trở về chỗ ngồi của mình và Glynda quay trở lại để di chuyển của mình. "Chúng tôi trận đấu tiếp theo: Cardin Winchester và Pyrrha Nikos, chống lại Weiss Schnee và Neapolitan."Neo quay sang Weiss, người đã cho cô một cái nhìn exasperated. ' Tốt... Hình như tôi nhận được mong muốn của tôi,' Neo nghĩ thật đáng buồn, và đứng dậy để tham gia đối tác của mình trên đấu trường."Vì vậy... Là có bất cứ điều gì tôi nên biết về phong cách chiến đấu của bạn?" Neo yêu cầu, và Weiss lắc đầu của cô."Chỉ cần tránh xa tôi ra," cô ấy trả lời coldly. Neo thở dài, và nhìn vào đối thủ của mình.'Alright... Looks like I get my chance to kick Cardin's ass. He looks like a typical bruiser, nothing too much to worry about. Pyrrha on the other hand should be interesting, but I have a feeling Weiss will keep her occupied.' Neo had been feeling down up to this point, but now her entire demeanour changed. She felt the change come over her and let it take hold, switching her from one personality to another. This was the Neo that Yang had fought on the train. She drew her umbrella and leaned on it, giving a cocky look to her opponents. Her change in personality showed more than she thought, with the rest of her team as well as team JNPR taking notice. Pyrrha took a step back, shocked at the psychopathic smile staring back at her."Ready?" Professor Goodwitch asked, looking at both pairs. "Begin!"Weiss and Cardin charged toward each other while Neo and Pyrrha stayed still, each analysing the other. Cardin swung overhead at Weiss, who gracefully parried, landing a blow to his midsection. He spun around, carrying the momentum from his first swing and took aim at Weiss' legs. She leapt back, Cardin's mace burying itself into the ground, and charged forward again. Cardin was prepared this time, pulling his mace up and landing a strong blow square to Weiss' chest. She was sent flying back toward her partner, landing a few feet to Neo's left.Neo locked eyes with Cardin and slowly strutted toward him. Pyrrha moved forward to intervene, but hesitated, wanted to watch the girl fight before she engaged her. Cardin charged at Neo, swinging wildly, but she dodged each blow as if it took no effort at all, moving only slightly to one direction and letting the weapon pass fractions on an inch from her body. Cardin's attacks became more wild and aggressive as his anger grew at his inability to connect. Pyrrha ran to help her partner, but Weiss moved in on her before she had the chance, leaving Neo to take care of Cardin. She continued to avoid his assault, waiting for the opportune time to strike back.Finally, she extended her umbrella, deflecting a blow aimed at her head, and struck out at Cardin's ribs with her other hand. He recoiled at the unexpected attack, and raised his weapon to retaliate. Before he could swing, Neo kicked at the side of his knee, knocking him off balance. She planted a series of blows across his head and chest, finally grabbing his arm and flinging him into the air.At that moment, Weiss was also off the ground, having just dodged an attack from Pyrrha. Seeing Cardin behind her, she created a glyph at her feet and jumped from it to the falling bruiser, grappling him and slamming him into the ground with incredible force. Pyrrha now turned her attention to Neo, running toward her with her shield raised. Neo dodged the girls initial attacks, and began parrying the continued onslaught with her umbrella.Neo suddenly found herself on the ground as Weiss collided with after being thrown by Cardin. The two rolled several yards before coming to a stop, getting back to their feet to see their opponents charging at them full force. Weiss raised Myrtenaster and prepared to meet them, but Neo put her arm out to stop her. "Wait," Neo commanded. Weiss was hesitant, but held her stance as Pyrrha and Cardin drew closer. She smirked and activated her semblance, moving her and Weiss to the opposite side of the arena and leaving an illusion of them behind. Cardin slashed at the illusion, shattering it and leaving him and his partner off balance and confused. "Now," Neo said, and Weiss charged, creating a series of glyphs around her opponents.Neo leapt forward as well, slamming into Pyrrha and sending her high into the air. Weiss unleashed a devastating assault on Cardin, dashing from glyph to glyph, also sending him flying. She gave a nod to Neo and the two launched up to continue the fight, each grabbing their opponent by the shoulders, spinning as they plummeted to the ground, simultaneously slamming them onto the floor, the thud echoing through the arena."And that's the match!" Glynda called out, moving toward the fighters. Neo was surprised that match was called so soon, but sure enough Cardin's aura had already dropped into the red. The adrenaline began to wear off and she began to revert to her normal self. She stood in an almost meditative state for a moment before she noticed Pyrrha approaching her."That was a good fight," the redhead said, holding her hand out to Neo. "I'd love to face you one on one."Neo smiled and shook her hand, now fully from her second personality."Yeah, me too. Maybe next time," she replied, and turned to go to her seat."Hey!" Weiss called to her, and she spun to face the heiress. "That was... impressive. You're a good fighter."Neo smiled, "Thanks, Weiss. That means a lot from you." Weiss smiled back and the four returned to their seats."Hey, what happened at the start of the match?" Yang asked with a look of concern once they'd sat back down. The rest of her team and team JNPR had been wondering the same thing, and leant in to hear an explanation."Well, you can see a lot of me is split," Neo said, gesturing to her face. "My hair colour, my eyes, and also my personality. Right now, you're talking to normal Neo. When things heat up, like in combat, I take on my other personality. When I make the transition, I become a psychopath. It's not easy to control, but I manage."The group went silent, and Neo feared she shouldn't have said as much as she had. Yang was the first to respond, "I guess that explains the Neo I fought on the train versus the one I found on the streets. Is it only a fight that triggers it?""No, any strong emotion can bring it on too." Neo continued. "I can usually keep it under control when it's from a positive emotion, but otherwise it can be difficult, especially when it's something like stress or anger.""How do you switch back?" Pyrrha asked. "You looked like you do now when we spoke after the match."Neo thought a moment, "Well, that really depends. If it's from a fight, once it's over I can switch back right away. When it's from an emotion, it just takes time. How long depends on how strong the feeling was.""Wow, that sounds... frightening," Blake said with a sympathetic look."What's her name?" Nora asked, suddenly turning all heads to her."What?" Neo asked with a confused look."Does the other you have a name?"Ren sighed and put his head in his hand, "Nora..."Neo giggled, "No, no, it's fine. I guess not, I've never thought of it as another person but... I guess she is."Nora's eyes lit up, "Then we should name her!""I take it you have something in mind?" Jaune laughed. Nora shrugged and looked to the rest of the group for suggestions."How about Psycho?" Yang said, and Neo shook her head."Hmm... Gina? No wait, Debbie!" Nora cheered, earning another facepalm from her partner."I've got it: Beo," Blake suggested. "As in Beowolf.""I like it," Neo smiled. "I'm sure she does too."Weiss laughed, "I feel like Beo and Nora would get along really well."Nora went to retort, but then only shrugged, "Yeah, probably."Everyone laughed and eventually returned their attention to the ring. Professor Goodwitch announced the next match, but Neo wasn't listening. Her attention had shifted to the white haired girl to her left.'Well, she wouldn't have made a joke about me yesterday,' she thought happily. 'That's definitely progress. Maybe she's starting to warm up to me. I should see if we can hang out over the weekend, just the two of us. We can get to know each other more, that would help,
