Jaunedice

Jaunedice is the eleventh episode of the RWBY animated series that premiered on September 26th, 2013.

Summary
Jaune Arc and Cardin Winchester are seen dueling each other to demonstrate how to effectively use Aura, with Jaune clearly being outmatched. Cardin simply laughs at Jaune's attempts to hurt him, with Cardin simply taunting him. He tells Jaune that this is when he loses, but refuses, which prompts Cardin to knee him in the stomach and is about to deliver the finishing blow when Glynda Goodwitch calls the match. She then tells Jaune that it has been weeks and he should pay more attention to his Aura levels so he can form a new strategy. She then announces the Vytal festival where rival schools can compete in a combat tournament, something Team RWBY is very excited about.

Later, both Team RWBY and Team JNPR sit down for a meal. Nora Valkyrie explains a dream she has been having for a month, but highly exaggerates it, forcing Lie Ren to tell the real dream. Everyone then asks if Jaune is feeling okay after Cardin's bullying, but he asks when he has ever bullied him. The scene then shows Cardin pulling pranks on Jaune, such as opening his shield in a doorway, launching him in a locker, and knocking his books out of his hands. Jaune somewhat defends him, as Cardin is mean to everyone. Pyrrha Nikos tries to get him to ask for help before Nora suggests breaking his legs. Cardin and the rest of Team CRDL then begin to pick on a Faunus named Velvet Scarlatina, pulling on her rabbit ears and everyone comments on his rude attitude. Jaune then leaves the table, but Cardin is seen watching him as he leaves.
