Teams JNPR and RWBY were now staring at Mesa silently , Mesa could see fear, respect and more than anything awe reflecting within their eyes [ My mission was successful ]. He didn't show his happiness but apologetic expression and said " I'm sorry if i scared you, I think I overdid it. I just wanted to eliminate the threat as fast as possible"
Hearing his words, all of them lost their fear and only respect and awe left. Ruby spoke first " You don't need to apologize, you was helping us, Beside that was amazing. I didn't know you was so strong, Why you didn't tell us ?"
" Well, I did say I don't need weapons, and you didn't ask " Mesa replied
" Ruby might forgive you, but that's her. Look at me, you ruined my hair, look at all of the dust in it because of your attack. You have to take responsibility" Yang said with sly grin
" I will pay the barber's cost when you cut your hair for life" Mesa replied with smile
" WHAT? You evil monster!! You want to cut my hair? On dead body" Yang took her battle stance, her eyes showed unwavering determination. She will protect her hair with her life if needed.
Seeing Yang reaction all the other started laughing. Then it was Weiss turn to talk " Thank you for helping us. Your strength truly amazing, I have never seen or heard a semblance as powerful as yours before. I'm glad a respectful and gentleman like you has such a semblance. If it was a raffian who has it, then it would have been a disaster. " She was smiling at him and blushing slightly.
" EEh! Hitting on Mesa already, white princess? " Yang asked teasingly
" W-What? N-NO!. I'm just …. stating facts!. Yes facts!" Weiss was blushing hard
" SO! WHAT IS YOUR SEMBLANCE? AND WHAT WAS THE WORDS YOU SPOKE ?" A jumping Nora was screaming her questions.
" Nora calm down " Ren tried to calm Nora
" What i did is gravitational manipulation. I can generate a force around a center to work as a repulsive force or attracting force. What you saw was me, creating an attraction force pulling the grimm toward me, and repulsive force pushing them away." Mesa explained a little of his power.
Pyrrha was interested in his power, as she had similar semblance, so she decided to ask " What can you pull and push exactly? And is that the only thing your gravitational force can do"
Mesa replied " I can affect pretty much anything. There is no limitations. The bigger my target the more force i need to use. As for what it can do, there is one more thing it can do but it's not suited for fighting grimms " he inwardly thought [ It is not suitable for fighting in general. it is suitable for wiping armies and mass destruction ]
Pyrrha said " I see, so they are not strong enough to fight opponents. The pulling and pushing alone is plenty powerful " Pyrrha misunderstood Mesa's answer, Mesa didn't plan to explain further, he will show them in the future.
Pyrrha compared her semblance Mesa's [ His semblance is not limited by material and much stronger than mine. However, he lacks flexibility and easy to predict.] If Mesa heard her thoughts, he would laughed himself to death.
" ummm.. What about the words you spoke? Bansho something and don't know what was the other one "
Ren spoke " He said 'Bansho Tenin' and 'Shinra Tensei'. Quite arrogant and domineering words "
Everyone looked at Ren, Ren continued " They are words from an old language, not many know the language. I know the language because my father taught me when i was still kill "
"So what do they mean?" Yang asked
Ren looked at Mesa, Mesa in return shrugged his shoulders. Ren translated the words to them " When you translate the words to our language literally, ' Bansho Tenin ' means heavenly attraction of all creation, while ' Shinra Tensei' means heavenly subjugation of the omnipresent god "
Everyone looked at Mesa weirdly, while Yang said " Really? I didn't know you thought of yourself as a god !"
Mesa wasn't bothered by their stares he simply said " I wasn't the one who made the names. But i liked them, as they were suitable for my powers and cool names"
" I don't mind answering your questions, but i think it is not the right time. The test is not over" Mesa reminded them.
All of them nodded in agreement.

At the end of the test, Mesa and the others now stood in the auditorium, the sound of clapping could be heard all around them. Ozping was standing on the stage, declaring the new 4-man teams.
" Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. The four of you retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL, led by... Cardin Winchester! " Ozpin said
The audience gives one more wave of ovation, while four students walk up to the stage to take their places in front of the headmaster as their faces fill the screen.
"Jaune Arc. Lie Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team JNPR. Led by... Jaune Arc!
" Ozpin said
Amid the clapping, Nora laughs and gives Ren a hug. While Jaune was confused and surprised "Huh? L-Led by...?"
"Congratulations, young man." Ozpin said
A grinning Pyrrha offers a friendly shoulder bump to Jaune, but her "fine leader" is knocked over and falls to his butt in front of the laughing audience.
" And finally, Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. The four of you retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by... Ruby Rose! "
Weiss looks to her right surprised, where Ruby is obviously in shock as Yang goes over to hug her sister. " I'm so proud of you little sis !"
" Before we end up the ceremony, I would like to ask mr Uchiha to come to the stage." Ozpin said
Mesa started walking toward the stage. The audience were wondering what was going on. When Mesa stood before Ozpin, Ozpin started talking " Mr Uchiha, you didn't get a partner nor retrieve a relic. You obviously could have done it. So why did you fail the test on purpose? "
All the audience were surprised by what they heard, even team JNPR and team RWBY were surprised, confused and worried for Mesa.
Ruby immediately protested " You can't fail him! He helped us! Also he is one of the best here"
Mesa looked at Ruby and said " Calm down Ruby, I didn't fail the test "
Ruby looked at him with eyes fill of confusion. Even Ozpin was confused, " What do you think you passed? You didn't get a partner nor a relic."
Mesa smiled at Ozpin and said " At the beginning of the test you said ' the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years '. I didn't have partner and that's it. You never said to pass the test you need to find a partner. As for the relic you said ' You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff.' Your words were clear, the pairs must choose a relic. And I was alone so that didn't apply to me. Beside the fact that you didn't say bring the relic. Only choose, why the others bothered to bring it back is beyond me. They only needed to choose their relic at the temple. "
Ozpin stared at Mesa, he was again speechless. Ozpin didn't have any logical retort. What was said is absolutely correct. He didn't pay much attention to his words when he said them. This situation was completely out of his expectation.
Glynda at the side of Ozpin, she was staring at Mesa with frustration. This guy was truly insufferable bastard. He didn't show respect nor cared about the rules, he did whatever he liked and didn't care about killing or endangering others, he didn't have any morals restraints. And now, he stood in front of her, acting smart in the front of the whole school. Playing with words to twist the rules to his desires.
In that moment, she forgot what the guy in front of her could do, she forgot about his powers and said with anger " You obviously know what the headmaster meant. You are playing with words to twist rules. You failed the test ".
Mesa didn't have any change in his expression, he simply looked at her and said " playing with words? I followed the rules stated by Ozpin. It's not my fault if your rules don't express your test correctly. Your behaviour is truly unbenefit of a professional huntress, I'm disappointed thoroughly." Mesa shook his head in a disappointed manner then continued " Beside playing with words is changing the meaning of sentence by taking different synonyms of the words in it. Why don't i give you a clear example. Your name is 'Glynda Goodwitch', one of the synonyms of 'witch' is 'bitch'. So your name means Glynda Goodbitch " Mesa grinned when he finished speaking.
The whole auditorium was silent, none spoke, they were shocked by what they heard. The guy on the stage just called Glynda a Goodbitch. They were all looking at the red faced Glynda. Some of them were laughing at the show, others were praying for the poor guy angering Glynda.
Glynda herself, was truly enraged. She couldn't tolerate him anymore. Her patience reached its limit.
In her anger, she brought out her wand and attacked Mesa. Ozpin on her side paled [ This is not going to end well ]
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
