  Yang swallows Cole's cum, which of course leads to questions. As, Pyrrha interrupts before she can get answers.

  -x-X-x-

  "Glughk… Glughk… Glughk…"

  Fortunately, their team is far enough from anyone else that they don't hear the sounds of gagging coming from under the table as Yang happily goes down on him over and over again. The blonde even pops open her jacket and blouse, pulling her bra up and freeing her tits so she can wrap them around the base of his cock.

  Only Bke and Weiss can hear the noisy slurping and gurgling sounds that Yang is making, and both of them look like they want nothing more than to take her pce. Heh, and that's without them even knowing exactly what reward the blonde is chasing.

  Meanwhile, Yang herself is staring up at Cole with those bright purple eyes of hers, her cheeks slightly flushed as she swirls her tongue around his gns before diving back down his length over and over again. She's nothing if not… motivated. And even she doesn't know the reward at the end of this experience!

  Down below, the sparring matches between their peers continue apace. No one from Team CWBY or Team JNPR is called up again. There's a limited amount of time each day after all, so it's usually only about two per team.

  Finally, as things are getting close to the end, Cole gathers up a fistful of Yang's locks, reveling in her submission as he draws her down his cock one st time. Her eyes flutter and she swallows continuously to try to suppress her gag reflex, no doubt sensing what's about to happen.

  With a grunt, Cole unloads down his partner's throat, letting Yang gulp and swallow and drink his seed. Of course, he also sees the moment where she feels what comes along with his load, her eyes snapping widen open and staring up at him in wonder as a sense of power and energy flows through her.

  Cole just smiles down at her knowingly, even as her sudden surprise and mild stupor causes her to choke on the st few spurts of his cum, some of which winds up trickling out of the corner of her mouth from her failure to completely swallow every st drop.

  He doesn't bme her though, he knows exactly why she's so surprised. Chuckling softly, Cole's amusement draws Bke and Weiss' attention again. Bke frowns when she sees Yang has gotten to swallow his load, while Weiss sniffs haughtily at seeing the mess Yang has made. Like the Schnee Heiress hadn't wound up covered in his cum just the other day. But no matter.

  Pulling out of Yang's mouth, Cole tucks his cock away as the blonde quickly wipes her lips clean of his seed and fixes up her top. She comes out from under the desk and retakes her seat just as their Professor is calling the end of the st match and dismissing them for the day, so she's not able to immediately ask what the hell just happened.

  Indeed, it's not until they're gathering up their things and everyone is getting ready to leave that Yang leans over to whisper to him.

  "What the hell was that, Cole?"

  Raising an eyebrow in response, Cole grins.

  "Did you dislike it, Yang?"

  Blushing, Yang shakes her head.

  "Of course not, but that's not the point. You…"

  But Cole shuts her down with a raised hand.

  "Not here. Not until we're back in the dorm."

  Yang's lips thin out at that, even as Bke and Weiss both look between them in confusion. In the end though, Yang realizes that discretion is the better part of valor, especially in this case. Which is good, because he wasn't above disciplining her if she tried to press the issue.

  In the end, she simply nods and the four of them begin making their way out of the room and down the hall. That was the st period of the day, so technically they were free to do whatever. They COULD go to dinner, but Yang was quick to grab him by the wrist and begin dragging him back to their dorm room, with Weiss and Bke too curious not to follow along.

  However, before they could get anywhere…

  "Cole Cobalt."

  Pyrrha Nikos steps in the way of them, looking a strange mixture of determined and self-conscious.

  As Team CWBY comes to a halt in front of the Invincible Girl, the red head clears her throat, looking him dead in the eye.

  "… May I speak to you please? Privately?"

  Cole tilts his head to the side, but before he can answer, Yang answers for him with a growl.

  "Not right now. Sorry Nikos, but its team business. Nothing personal."

  Pyrrha furrows her brow at that, even as Yang tries to drag him around the statuesque red head. But this is where Cole feels the need to assert himself. It was one thing for Yang to drag him back to their dorm and demand answers. He'd been expecting as much after all. It was another thing entirely for her to speak for him.

  Setting himself in pce, he stops in his tracks and shakes his head when Yang looks back to him.

  "You don't get to make that call, Yang. Not by yourself."

  To her credit, Yang at least has the good grace to blush in response to his words, her face becoming chagrined as she squirms under his steely gaze.

  "… P-Please Cole… I…"

  Smiling, Cole just shakes his head again.

  "You dies go on without me. I'll be right behind you once Nikos and I have talked. It's not the end of the world if you have to wait ten more minutes for answers, Yang."

  From the dismayed scowl she adopts at that, you would think it was. But in the end, there's enough of an edge to his tone that Yang doesn't try to push things. He's the leader of Team CWBY after all, indisputably. On top of that, he's rather thoroughly shown just who's in charge even outside of the team they'd been assigned by Beacon. At the end of the day, Yang knows she can't push any harder than she already has.

  "… Fine."

  She lets go of him and stomps away, Bke and Weiss both following after her once they've paused to each give him confused looks. Cole watches them all go for a moment before turning to Pyrrha, who is also staring after the three young women in confusion. It's obvious the red head has absolutely no context for what all of that was about.

  In the end, she turns back to him, her green eyes filled with something almost indecipherable as she swallows thickly.

  "… I wanted to thank you."

  Cole raises an eyebrow.

  "You'll have to be more specific. Are you thanking me because I made Yang apologize, or thanking me because I kicked Joan's ass?"

  Jolting in surprised, Pyrrha blinks.

  "You're the one who sent her over? No, ah… I wanted to thank you for going easy on my partner. You didn't have to be as… gentle as you were with Joan."

  Tilting his head to the side, Cole grunts and shrugs.

  "I'm not in the habit of beating up novices. And that's exactly what your team leader is, but I'm sure you already know that. Joan Arc… some might say she doesn't belong here at Beacon."

  Pyrrha bristles for a moment before correctly deducing via his tone that while SOME might say that, he's not actually saying it. Puffing up her cheeks, the red head nevertheless scowls and crosses her arms over her chest.

  "Those people would be wrong. Joan might not be the best yet, but she has potential, I know she does. Headmistress Goodwitch wouldn't have made her the leader of Team JNPR if she didn't believe the same."

  Cole grunts noncommittally, inclining his head in acknowledgment of Pyrrha's words, if not outright agreement. Still, it's enough to make the red head's countenance soften a bit. Finally, she gets to the heart of the matter.

  "… You're getting better faster as well, you know. Your progress so far has been… incredible."

  That gets another raised eyebrow, causing Pyrrha to flush and expin herself.

  "I could tell from the start that you weren't conventionally trained. You didn't have any official tutege like most of us before Beacon, did you?"

  True. And it spoke well of Pyrrha's instincts and inherent skill as a warrior that she could take one look at him and see it. Shrugging, Cole sees no reason to lie to the red head. After all, just like he'd told Yang, it behooved them to have good retions with Team JNPR.

  "Yeah. You could certainly say that. I didn't even have my Aura unlocked until like two weeks before Initiation. Most of my training has been at the hands of Goodwitch herself in an effort to get me up to speed since then."

  Pyrrha's eyes light up at his confirmation and she takes an excited step forward, causing Cole to tense slightly.

  "It's more than that though. I'm sure having one-on-one sessions with the Headmistress has been a huge help, but I've watched you in the spars and… it's almost like your Aura is growing overtime or something. You take the same hits you took days before, but they do less damage to your total Aura Reserves."

  Cole freezes in pce at that observation. Pyrrha barely seems to notice as she continues on, suddenly becoming quite the talker now that they're discussing something she seems to be very invested in.

  "Aura doesn't normally grow once its been unlocked. Everyone has a set amount of Aura that they start out with and it rarely changes outside of very unique Sembnces. Do you think that might be why your Aura seems to be growing? Do you think it might be reted to your Sembnce?"

  Wow. You know what, he'd most definitely underestimated Pyrrha Nikos. And also completely missed how much she'd apparently been observing him. Feeling a little bit of sweat building on his brow, Cole swallows slowly as he considers how to address her question. In the end, even if he wanted Team CWBY and Team JNPR to be on good terms… there should probably be limits, right?

  "That's… a bit too personal, Nikos, don't you think?"

  To her credit, Pyrrha's eyes widen and she shrinks back, seeming to realize just how… excited she got. In the end, she nods her head and takes another step back.

  "Ah… y-yes, of course. It's just… well, Joan has an impressively rge natural reserve of Aura herself. Easily five times the amount of any other person I've ever seen."

  Wait, she did? At Cole's look of confusion, Pyrrha smiles slyly.

  "… I've been running her a bit ragged, I'll admit. I give her extra training both in the morning and at night. By the time she makes it into the ring and her Aura is registered, we've gotten it down to that of a normal person. Really though… you all have only ever seen her at about thirty percent of her true reserves, max."

  What? That was… Cole's mouth opens and closes a few times as he thinks of several things to say but ultimately ends up not saying them. Reckless? Yeah, it was. If Pyrrha was to be believed, they were basically fielding Joan with her Aura technically in the red most of the time. Not exactly advisable, but it wasn't his pce to say. Frankly, it wasn't his pce to even know this stuff.

  "Why are you telling me this?"

  Pyrrha flushes at Cole's deadpan tone, biting her lower lip and looking away for a moment before steeling herself and looking back to him.

  "… Because I want you to help me train her. That spar the two of you had today… it was wonderful. You're a natural instructor, Cole. You have this innate ability to tutor someone that I… well, I'm cking. I try my best, but I'm a little too high level for someone like Joan. Sometimes I worry that I'm not helping her at all, in fact."

  Hey now. Wasn't that a bit of a backhanded compliment? Wasn't she implying that Cole himself was low enough level to be able to help Joan out in the first pce? Even if it was true, that was still kind of rude…

  Pyrrha, seeing his eyes narrow, bnches as she seems to realize what she's just said and how it might be interpreted. Quickly, she raises her hands and begins to wave them in front of her.

  "A-Ah! W-Wait, I didn't mean it like that! I'm not saying you're bad or anything… it's the exact opposite! I just hoped you might be willing t-to-!"

  "How much?"

  The red head blinks owlishly at him after Cole cuts her off.

  "H-Huh?"

  Cole just smirks at her.

  "I'm willing to tutor your team leader for you Nikos… for a price. I don't like to do anything for free if I can help it. So… what are you offering me if I agree to help out with Arc?"

  Pyrrha's mouth opens and closes wordlessly for a few moments before she finally stops and thinks. Cole just watches her, counting down the seconds in his head. If she takes too long, he might just have to bail on her… he did promise Yang it would only be about ten minutes, after all.
