Weiss, the top-ranking Student in Beacon Academy, apart of the legendary Team RWBY, Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, was having some extremely bad Father-Daughter problems. No, she wasn't acting child-like, acting foolishly, staining their name further, she was being beaten in marks. "This is UNACCEPTABLE!" Weiss yelled to herself, alone in her Dormitory. For a week, she was being beaten by a boy named "Vengarl Midway". He had beaten her by one percent the day he transferred. Not being given any resources, he was handed the test like any other student and, like any other student, began working. Weiss thought it was just some beginners luck, but every test afterwards, he had beaten her!

"I'm going to study more than usual until the next test, he CAN'T be able to beat me then!" She grinned to herself. This plan was going to work, whether he liked it or not. Weiss pulled some textbooks from her desk drawers and began to study, eager to beat Vengarl. Studying for hours on end, she was definitely ready to beat Vengarl.

Later..

Professor Dolin, teacher of repairs on Weapons in the Beacon Forge, read aloud the test results. "Under 50%, Daniel Scottson, with a 40%, Cardin Winchester, 45%, Pharro Lykon, 49%. higher than 50%, lower than 75%, Jaune Arc, 69%, Steven Smith, 73%, Milentia Bastone, 75%. Higher than 75%, under 100%, Ruby Rose, 80%, Yang Xiao Long, 84%, Blake Belladonna, 89%, Weiss Schnee, 92%, Vengarl Midway, 98%." Weiss' jaw dropped.

"Again?!" She yelled. Everyone looked towards her, with a look of confusing on their faces.

"Sorry, Princess." Weiss looked to the boy who taunted her. A tall, Caucasian boy with short, black hair, pale skin, wearing a Cloak, ripped Jeans, and a T-Shirt decorated with Camo stood in front of her. "Guess I'm just a little bit better. Better luck next time." He grinned and walked away. Weiss stood there in total shock, she stayed up for an 24 hours, and was STILL beaten? When class was over, Weiss trekked back to her Dormitory, opening her door, she laid her scroll on the desk, put on her pajamas, then slept the entire day away.

The next morning, Weiss sat up and yawned, stretched, then went into the bathroom to clean herself for the coming day. After finishing her morning routine, she sat down at her desk, her eyes wandering to her scroll. Seeing the green flashing at the top of the scroll, she quickly turned the scroll on. '1 new message from Franklin Schnee' She sighed to herself, then opened the messages. 'Weiss, you failed your test, AGAIN. I'm getting extremely fed up with your poor performance. Pick up your act. Now.' Turning off her scroll and pushing it away, she put her head in her hands, extremely stressed, and not even 2 hours into her day. Ruby stood next to Weiss.

"Weiss..? Are you-" Weiss snapped, standing up and pushing herself towards Ruby.

"NO, I'M NOT! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Ruby stepped backwards, startled and shocked.

"W-Weiss.." Ruby hung her head and left, Weiss sitting back down and watching her leave. Weiss felt extremely bad.

'Did I really just do that..? I need to get it together..' She stood back up, grabbed her scroll and left her Dormitory, planning on finding Ruby. Weiss searched and searched, going to Rubys' best hiding spots. Checking the time on her scroll, her eyes widened. '8:53' She shook her head, then shoved it back into her pocket, running to her first class. 'I'm sure she's fine, I'll find her later.'

Pushing her way into the classroom, she took her usual seat, front row, one seat from the aisle. Weiss pulled her notebook out and began writing down everything Professor Port said, apart from his stories about himself as a Hunter. Looking around for her rival during one of the stories, she found him sitting in the same row as her, a few seats down, with his legs propped up on the desk, and a book in his hand. Looking up from his book, Vengarl looked towards her, smiled slightly, then returned to his book.

The first period bell rang, Weiss and Vengarl stood at the same time, each going to their next classes. Weiss, History, and Vengarl, Weapon Manufacturing. Weiss sat through her second period, jotting down notes now and then. Nothing too eventful happened during History, other than Professor Oobleck getting annoyed at Jaune and Cardin again. The third and final period came along, Weapon Repairs. Weiss was going to have a stern talk with this boy. As soon as everyone started working on their own projects, Weiss approached Vengarl, who was welding some weapon pieces together. She waited until he noticed her. Waited, and waited, and waited. Vengarl flipped up his welding mask and began to examine his pieces. Then, Weiss did strike. "We need to talk, now." Vengarl jumped slightly.

"Jesus! You scared the crap out of me! Don't do that!" Weiss rolled her eyes and stood next to him.

"What are you planning to accomplish with higher marks than mine?" Vengarl had a look of confusion on his face.

"Whaa..? Nothing, I don't think? I'm just going with the flow." He answered. Looking back to his pieces, he made sure there weren't any imperfections, then looked back to Weiss. "Why? Is that a problem for you?" Weiss nodded.

"Yes, it is." Vengarl chuckled lightly.

"Who are you, exactly? And why do you care so much for marks? They're what the Professors say we're good at. I could be terrible at Art, but I could have the creativity of.. someone who has a lot of creativity. Which is not me." Weiss sighed.

"This is getting nowhere. Continue what you were doing." Weiss walked away, her ponytail swinging around the workshop. This was going to change, no more would she suffer her Fathers' abuse, she was going to make him proud. After all, she doesn't want to be pulled out of Beacon.
