Summary:
[TITLE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS]
Ozpin has lived many, many lives.
So, naturally, one would assume he's experienced literally everything the world has to offer, good and bad.
He thought this too, until a group of alternate versions of himself from different universes suddenly appeared within the Emerald Forest.
Ozpin supposed anything could happen.

So, jaune magic is actually straight-up death. When the brother They're whole strict they made up the 4 horsemen. Adam got war, jaune got death, and I don't know who got pestilencing. And famine.
If jaune would ever go at full power, a Coffin would Appear above the sky releasing death to reap souls. An example of how the power system works for them. The more war that happens, the stronger adam Apostle gets, meaning He can summon more troops and stuff like that. The more you go to war with them, the worse he gets to fight. so counters to him are single strong targets Since that doesn't count as war jaune Doesn't really have a weakness also the four horsemen are The maidens from the original show they're considered myth.
Jaune: Okay... Deep breaths...
Jaune: Mmngh...
Ruby: (Waiting with bated breath)
Jaune: Ngh... Agh! Dang it...
Ruby: Aw, you were so close, too! I could feel it!
Blake: No, he wasn't.
Ruby: Well, maybe from your perspective, but from where I was watching from-
Blake: Penny, did Jaune make any progress?
Penny: Yes, he did!
Ruby: See?!
Penny: Jaune has managed to perspire more than he has in his previous attempts!
Jaune: ...At least I'm working up a sweat?
Yang: Hey, that's my line!
Ruby: Yang! Where have you been?
Yang: Oh, you know, doing dragon things.
Blake: Dragon things that you haven't told us about.
Yang: Because they're supposed to be a secret~!
Blake: If they're so secret, then why would you tell us?
Yang: Because why bother doing them if you can't tell anyone about it?
Blake: (Opens mouth)
Ruby: I wouldn't bother. Yang always wins, one way or the other. Usually by dropping the subject.
Yang: So, what's going on here?
Ruby: See? We're helping Jaune use his mana like he did before!
Jaune: If only I remembered how to do it.
Yang: How'd it happen before?
Ruby: Jaune got into a fight with Cardin.
Yang: Well, ask ol' rock face to throw down.
Blake: We can't. He's too scared of Jaune.
Yang: Yeah, sure. What's the real reason?
Ruby: It's true, though! Jaune's mana was so scary, it puts my hair on end just thinking about it!
Yang: Really? Well, maybe I should throw down with ol' Vomit Boy here?
Jaune: Come on, it was one time!
Yang: Yeah, yeah. So, you up for a spar?
Jaune: Do I get to say no?
Yang: Sure, but you probably won't be able to get your mana out until then. It's how I learned to use mine!
Jaune: ...Alright. Let's do it!
-----------------------------------------------
Goodwitch: Are you sure we shouldn't intervene, Ozpin? After all, Ms. Xiao Long is set to a higher standard than Mr. Arc.
Ozpin: Yes, I'm sure, Glynda. And you'd be surprised what a little friendly competition can do for training.
Goodwitch: I hate surprises, Oz.
Ozpin: I'm well aware.
-----------------------------------------------
"Set us off, Rubes!"
"You got it! Ready!" Ruby lifted her arm high into the air. "GO!"
Yang disappeared in a blink, leaving Jaune bewildered on the ground. He looked around for any sign of her, before noticing the shadow on the ground. He looked up to see her hurtling towards him like a missile. He backed away, only to get knocked into the back wall by her landing in his mid-section. She jumped back with a laugh.
"C'mon! Is that it?"
"Ouch..." Jaune groaned as he stood up. "That really hurt."
"Yeah, that's what a kick to the stomach does, Jaune!" Yang called with a snigger.
"Huh? Oh, no, I meant my back." He called back. "I didn't even feel your kick."
"What?"
-----------------------------------------------
Ozpin: Did you see it, Glynda?
Goodwitch: I did. It was faint, but there was cloud protecting his body from the kick. So, Mr. Arc is a necromancer?
Ozpin: Indeed, and very intuned as well. It normally takes decades to achieve that level of unconscious response.
Goodwitch: It could be a fluke.
Ozpin: We'll just have to see.
Goodwitch: ...
-----------------------------------------------
"Alright, Jaune, if you didn't feel that kick, then how about I instead kick things up to where you will feel it?" As Yang said this, she drew mana from her scaled arms until they became golden balls of flame. Before was just a sample of the least she could do with her draconic mana, but now she was really wanting to show off. "Don't worry, I'm sure you've got another outfit you can wear!"
With a toss, a fireball launched at Jaune, making him leap to the side. Barely missing to the point where he could feel the intense heat, he watched in slow-motion as another fireball was closing in on his face. Throwing up his hands, he fell to the floor, grunting as he hit the ground.
A black cloud spread from where he landed, the thick miasma reaching across the floor until the whole floor was covered in the foreboding fog. Ruby and Blake scurried to the top of the bleacher, every fiber of their being telling them touching, or even breathing the vapor blanketing the floor could be the last thing they'd ever do. Penny didn't feel this same fear but followed the others up the bleachers as they fled. Yang jumped into the air, watching as hands rise from underneath her to grab at her. She didn't want to think what would happen if she was caught by them.
"Hey!" She called out. "Nice trick, but you're still wide open!" Yang was about to summon another fireball when she suddenly felt something grab her shoulder. Something colder than ice, so cold that it burned! She turned, finding a horrifying skeletal face gazing back at her. She wanted to scream, but felt her body lock up in fear. Was this it? Was this the end?
"ENOUGH!" Professor Goodwitch stood panting from the top of the staircase, and the black fog and the grabbing hands and the skeleton face all now fully disappeared. "I think... I think that..."
"Allow me, Professor Goodwitch."
-----------------------------------------------
Ozpin: While I encourage pushing each other to our very limits, I also believe that setting boundaries is just as imperative in our mana development. Especially when canceling mana puts a strain on our dear deputy headmistress.
Goodwitch: Hah... Hah...
Ozpin: So, let's all take a break and discuss what we did right, what we did wrong, and how we can improve on ourselves. Hm... In fact, sparring matches such as these shall be postponed until you all write an essay on the subject.
Ruby: Even us?
Ozpin: I considered having only these two writing it, but I believe the bystanders are just as at fault as the participants. So yes, I will expect essays from you three as well.
Ruby: Ah, man... (Looks to Penny)
Blake: Don't even think about it.
Ruby: I wasn't!
Ozpin: Are you alright, Professor Goodwitch?
Goodwitch: ...I am now. It's been a long time since I've had to undo mana that powerful. Ozpin, you knew, didn't you? You knew that he-
Ozpin: Yes, I did. (Looks to Jaune) And that is why he is here. So that he can use it in the best way possible.
Jaune: So, uh, how'd I do, guys?
Blake: (Stepping away)
Ruby: (Hiding behind Penny)
Jaune: Guys?
Penny: They are terrified of you.
Jaune: What?! Why?! What happened?!
Penny: Your magic had nearly harmed them, as well as Yang. If Yang had not taken to the air with her draconic mana, it is very unlikely that she would have survived.
Yang: Sheesh, way to talk about a girl behind her back. (Slaps Jaune's back) And you, man! What the heck was that? Nearly had me, ya know!
Jaune: I... don't really know.
Yang: Well, whatever it was, you only scared me a little bit!
Penny: Actually, you were the most terrified of the group.
Yang: Would you get outta here!
Jaune: Ruby? Blake? Are you guys... Are you guys scared of me?
Blake: ...Fear is beneath me.
Jaune: Huh?
Yang: Always the poet, huh, Blake?
Jaune: What about you, Ruby? Are you scared?
Ruby: ...Not anymore. You did scare me, though! Something about your mana just... It doesn't feel good Jaune. Like, it feels dangerous.
Jaune: Oh...
Yang: ...But?
Ruby: But... so did Yang's mana.
Jaune: Huh?
Ruby: Yeah, like, when I was starting to use my mana, Yang's mana used to scare me so bad! Then I started to get used to it. And now my hair doesn't even stand on end anymore!
Yang: Just give it time, do some practice with it, and everything should be fine. Right, Blake?
Blake: ...We still have to write our essays.
Yang: Always gotta bring down the mood, don't you?
-----------------------------------------------
Ozpin: That went quite well.
Goodwitch: Our students nearly died, Ozpin.
Ozpin: But they didn't. We got lucky, and lucky isn't always a bad thing. We caught the issue in time, so we don't have to worry about the council taking matters into their own hands.
Goodwitch: They will eventually, Ozpin. Sooner or later, they'll find out we don't just have a necromancer in attendance. We have one of the four horsemen.
