[Tips]
(Character's point of view) - Referring to the character we're currently possessing, I mean reading.
Normal Sentence - Mostly referring to the character internal thoughts, similar to visual novel.
"words" - Any sentences appearing like this is a speech
~words~ - Whenever this shows up, an event has transpire.
[Words] - I used this to include a sound effect.
Italic words - If any words or sentences are in italic, that means it's in a different tone.
? - If this shows up, that means the said character is confused, bewildered by the current event. Some action that represents confusion may occur without being mentioned such as tilting heads.
! - This represents the character's surprise. The said character is shocked by the event unfold.
... - These three dots represents the character train of thoughts whenever he or she is not thinking anything. We can assume that they are pausing blankly. If there are three lines of dots such as this:
that means, the character is speechless due to the absurdity of the situation.
Words or sentences in bold - Whenever these shows up, that means a unique reference to something important to the plot. Let's just say a keyword.
Or in some case, I use 'bold' to discern a unique voice. The said voice rarely speaks unless the situation warrants it.
[Author's note]
This is LDC.
I found this story when I was cleaning up my drives.
It was written a year ago so it won't be up to 'Fate – Return from nothingness' standard.
Rather than letting it rusts inside my hard disk, how about I let people read it?
It's not good enough in my opinion…
I want to know what's your view on this story.
I only completed the Initiation Arc.
I don't know if I should continue it…
Well, here goes nothing.
Opening Act 1: Ruby Rose
"This is it!" I told myself.
I finally made it!
It's hard to believe that I'm going to attend Beacon.
[Indistinct chattering]
Even my sister, Yang, is going to be there!
Beacon Academy is a place where Huntsmen are trained.
Well, Beacon isn't the only academy available but among them all, Beacon is the best.
I think, at least in Vale, though...
[Indistinct chattering]
I'm a little nervous since I actually jumped two grades earlier…
It was thanks to Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon.
He offered me to attend Beacon after I stopped a Dust robbery a few days ago.
I don't know why he did that…
Did he think I'm special or something…?
Anyways, I'm so excited!
I can't wait to see all the weapons over there!
"Hey Rubes, snap out of it…!"
!
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my cheek.
"Ouch! Yang…" I pouted.
She pinched my cheek…
"Sorry… I can't seem to gain your attention." My blond sister said apologetically.
Yang is my sister despite we look nothing alike.
Her hair is blond while mine is black with a little red at the tip.
Her eyes were lilac while mine were silver.
Since she is two years older than I am, she has larger body build.
Well, when I said larger body I also meant larger bust.
She's taller than I am by at least twenty centimeters.
…
Actually, Yang is pretty tall by normal standard.
[Indistinct chattering]
"So, what's on your head…?" She suddenly asked.
?
"Huh…?" I tilted my head in confusion.
"How are you feeling…? You did skip two years ahead to join Beacon."
"I'm so excited! I can't wait to see the armory over there! But I'm a little nervous…" the last part was in mumbles.
"Chill out, little sister…! You're going to Beacon with me! I'm so happy right now…!" She spouted before start hugging me with her bear hug.
"Yang…" I said while trying to pry away from her.
"Sorry… But I'm so proud of you! My kid sister is a prodigy…!" She said after letting me go.
"No, I am not… Ozpin just gave me a chance…" I muttered.
"Not everyone get special treatment from Ozpin…! You're special Ruby!" Yang argued.
"But…" I was about to retort when a blond boy start puking his gut into a trash can nearby.
[Throwing out]
"I don't… I don't think I could stand it anymore…" He muttered weakly.
[Throwing out]
Then, he throws out again.
We're currently boarding an airship to Beacon.
I guess the boy is airsick or just plain motion sickness.
[Indistinct chattering]
"I think we should cut our little chat. I'm not quite comfortable talking around Vomit Boy." Yang whispered.
Vomit Boy…?
That nickname rather suits him.
We spend the rest of our flight watching Vomit Boy do his thing.
The airship finally touches down.
I saw Vomit Boy runs out the airship and start kissing the ground.
Yang and I giggled at his antics.
"So, we're finally here…" Yang remarked.
I gulp in nervousness.
I'm finally at Beacon so that means…
I glance around franticly.
…
!
One of the passing new students was carrying something eye catching!
I dash towards him using my Semblance.
I left behind rose petals along the way.
"Yang, take a look over here! It's a halberd modified with a sniper scope!" I squealed.
Another passing student passes by.
!
I spotted his weapon.
"Yang…! It's a mechanized sword with Dust canisters! How awesome is that…?!" I squealed again.
!
Abruptly, I felt a yank on my hood.
"Easy there little sister… You're going to scare everyone like that."
I pout since she kept me hanging.
I glance at her face and saw some mischievous grin forming.
?
After considering her thought for a while, she finally puts me down.
"Alright, Rubes… I'm going to take off for now."
!
"Wait a minute…! You're not going to leave me alone, are you?" I said nervously.
"Yeah… I have to find my friends. They should be here by now."
I shudder at the thought.
"Wait…! Don't leave me alone…! I'm scared…!" I pleaded.
Despite my earlier enthusiasm, I'm actually quite a social inept.
I can't get along with strangers.
Yang is outgoing and cheerful so she can get along with anyone.
I rarely had friends since my eyes were different from anyone back in Patch.
Silver eyes are rare in Remnant.
Even for a Faunus…
Many jerks pick on me since I was different.
Luckily, Yang was there to save me.
Most of my friends back in Patch were Yang's friends.
"What are you talking about…? There's nothing to be afraid of…"
"No… I don't have any friends to walk with…"
"Friends… You have friends all around you! You just don't know them yet."
"But I don't recognize any of them…"
"But you're special Ruby…! Not everyone here is a grade skipper…! And anyone with the right head wants to be friends with you…"
"But I don't want to be special… I just want to be a normal girl."
[Indistinct chattering]
Surprisingly, Yang wasn't paying attention to me anymore.
?
"Yang…?" I nudged her.
"Oh, sorry Rubes… I got to go…! I got someone to prank…" She snickered.
?
I tilted my head in confusion.
Then, a girl with neck long black hair passes by.
Her eyes were crimson red just like Yang when she was about to berserk.
…
She's scary.
Then, I realize that Yang is not there any longer.
"Yang…?" I called out.
[Indistinct chattering]
But she was nowhere to be found…
"Yang…!" I hollered while walking backward.
!
To my surprise, someone was behind me.
The two of us fell on a large pile of suitcase.
The one I knocked groans a little.
…
It was a girl with white hair and deep blue eyes.
Her skin was so pale.
…
I had to wonder if she is sick.
"Watch it, dunce…!" She chastised me.
…
?
What's a dunce…?
Currently, the two of us were sitting on the floor with her luggage littering around.
Why is she carrying so many luggages in the first place?
"What were you thinking…?! Do you have any idea what could have happened…?!" She ranted.
?
"The Dust inside could explode! Don't you have the slightest clue…?!"
Some of the substances flew to my nose and I accidently sneezed.
[Explosion]
"Kyaaa…!" Both of us yelled.
…
…
It barely scorched my clothes.
"Now look what you've done! Don't you know how expensive those Dusts were…?!" The white haired girl ranted again.
"I'm sorry…" I apologized as I tried to recompose myself.
…
Did she have a knack for ranting?
She starts ranting just after we exploded.
"Just 'sorry' won't cover the Dust expense…! Do you even know who I am?!" She demanded.
…
?
Who is she?
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company which is also the largest Dust mining company in Remnant." Someone decided to say.
?
I turn my head towards the speaker.
It was another girl with black hair.
But she has yellowish-golden eyes, which almost cat-like.
…
She also has a bow on her head.
"Finally I got some recognition." The white haired girl by the name Weiss stated.
…
I could sense smug from her.
"However, SDC is also known for its notorious underground work. You better steer clear of their people." The blacked haired girl advised me.
?
"Hey…!" Weiss took offense from her statement.
Paying no attention to the girl called Schnee, the black haired girl leaves.
"What…? Wait…! Listen, dork… Don't ever cross path with me again…!"
She left without much being said, following that bow-wearing girl.
Her attendant picks up whatever left from the explosion.
After dusting myself, I decide to walk away from the bombardment scene.
…
There's a huge crater…
"Great…" I muttered.
First day in Beacon and I already caught in trouble.
…
[Sighs]
I start walking aimlessly.
…
…
…
?
"Huh…? Where am I?" I said aloud.
I'm in some kind of garden.
…
I was in the courtyard just now.
I glance around to see if there's anyone around.
…
!
I spotted Vomit Boy!
"Hey, Vomit Boy…!" I yelled.
The boy groans in frustration.
"That's not my name…" He muttered.
"Sorry… I had no idea what's your name was…"
"Glad you asked… The name is Jaune, Jaune Arc. It's short, sweet and the ladies love it!"
…
[Chuckles]
I chuckled at his cheesy introduction.
"Hi, Jaune… I'm Ruby Rose." I extended my hand to shake which he gladly took.
"Hey, aren't you a little young to be in Beacon?"
…
I poke my fingers not wanting to make eye contact with him.
"Well, I kind of skipped grades…"
"Wow, that's cool."
The two of us walk while we talk.
…
This is awkward…
Maybe I should start a conversation.
What should we talk about…?
What do fellow Huntsmen in training can talk?
…
"So Jaune, what kind of weapon are you using?"
"What…?" He tilted his head.
"I mean we're Hunters and Huntresses in training. You must have weapons, right…?" I said expectantly.
"I think so…." He still doesn't get it.
…
Maybe I should do something.
"Well I got this…!" I declared as I reach for Crescent Rose.
Then, I flourish and spin her until her blade impales the ground.
Jaune flinches a little at the sight.
"Is that a scythe…?" He slowly approaches and pokes her dull side.
I nod at his remark.
"It's also a customizable, high impact velocity sniper rifle." I added.
"A what now…?" He glances at me with question mark on his head.
"I mean it's also a gun." I deadpanned.
"Oh…" He slowly acknowledged that.
Though, I still think he's confused.
I lean against him with a grin.
"So, what do you have…?"
The blond boy fumbles a little before drawing out a sword.
"I've uh… got this sword! And its sheath is a shield too…!" He expanded the sheath into a shield but fumbled along the way.
"So, what do they do…?"
My eyes gleam in anticipation.
"The shield can collapse back into a sheath when I get tired of carrying it." He looked at me and smiled.
…
"Doesn't that mean it would still weigh the same…?"
He sighs in frustration.
"Yes, it does…" He groaned.
I gave him a slightly embarrassed laugh.
I stroke Crescent Rose with care before collapsing her.
"Well, I'm kind of a dork when it comes to weapons. I guess I went a little over board when designing her." I remarked.
"Wait, you made that…?!" Jaune said in disbelieved tone.
"Of course, all students at Signal forge their own weapons. Didn't you?"
"It's a hand-me-down. My great-great-grandfather used it to fight in war." Jaune glances at the ground embarrassedly as he sheathes his sword.
"It sounds like a family heirloom. I like it though. Not many people appreciate the classics these days."
He scratches his head sheepishly.
…
I think I just made an embarrassing remark.
"Excuse me…" Suddenly, someone taps my shoulder.
?
Both of us glance to see the voice owner.
It was a boy around Jaune's age.
He is a little shorter than Jaune, though.
His eyes were golden-yellowish similar to the bow-wearing girl earlier but not cat-like.
His hair was red, well, auburn to be precise.
"Do you know where to find the auditorium? I'm new here." He inquired.
…
Apparently, he's lost just like me.
"Sorry, I was kind of lost too…" Jaune told him as he scratches his head again.
Oh, Jaune's lost too…
…
"Shirou…!" We suddenly heard someone shouted.
"The hall is this way…!" A girl with fox ears claimed.
The red haired guy nods.
"Oh, thanks Tama-san…!" He hollered.
"Sorry for intruding…" He told us before running off.
For some reason, Jaune was flustered.
I nudge Jaune on his shoulder.
"Huh…?!" He said nervously.
?
"Let's go Jaune. The hall is that way…!" I declared at the direction that 'Shirou' guy ran.
"Umm… Yeah, let's go…" He replied.
The two of us walk briskly without conversing much.
Yang drops on the floor next to me.
I'm writing a letter.
"It's like a big slumber party…!" She declared.
[Pen scribbling]
I continue to write the letter.
"I don't think dad would approve all the boys though…" I pointed out.
"I know I do…" She grinned.
?
For some reason, her grin faltered.
"What's that…?" She asked me.
She was referring to my letter.
"It's a letter to the gang back in Signal." I replied.
"Aw… Isn't that cute…" She teased.
I toss a pillow at her face.
"Shut up! I don't get to bring my friends with me to Beacon. It's weird not knowing anyone saved for Jaune."
"Well, Vomit Boy is pretty nice. Look, it's only been one day and you already have a friend. That's a good start." Yang ruffled my hair.
I sit up slowly.
Then, I saw the black haired bow-wearing girl.
She set up a few candles across the room.
"That girl… I think I met her earlier."
Yang glances at her.
"Well then, let's go talk with her!" Yang declared.
She lifted my arm and start marching towards the girl.
"I believe you may know each other."
The girl looks up and slowly nods.
"You were the girl from earlier, weren't you…?" She asked.
"Yes…" I admitted.
Then, she turns her glance toward Yang.
"Aren't you the girl who ditched her before…?" She asked Yang.
Yang gives her a guilty grin.
"Maybe, I'm Yang and this is my sister, Ruby."
"Blake…"
…
"So, what do you think of Beacon so far…?" Yang began to pry.
"I don't know. I'm trying to read about it, from this book. Right now…" Blake said in even tone as if telling us to leave politely.
…
"What's it about…?" I decided to ask.
"What…?" She glanced at me confusedly.
"The book, what is it about…?" I asked again.
She contemplates for a while.
"It's about the founding of Beacon. It says that four families founded Beacon. However, personally I found their names to be odd." She remarked.
"What's so odd about the founders' name…?" Yang interjected.
"Well, first of all, the name is not commonly used around here. Beacon is a well known academy so the founders' name should be general yet I'd never heard of any of them." Blake told us.
"I'm sure it's not important." Yang brushes it off.
Blake shook her head.
A small smile formed on her face.
…
"Yang used to read me every night before bed… stories about heroes and monsters. It kind of what made me wants to be a Huntress…" I made an absent-minded remark.
Blake glances at me.
"Why is that…? Hoping that you'll live happily ever after…?" She inquired.
I give her a small smile before glancing at the shattered moon.
"I'm hoping we all will. As a girl, I wanted to be heroes just like in books, someone who fight for what is right, and defended the people who can't defend themselves."
"You sound like one of the founders. He did quote something similar." Blake said.
"Really…? My sister is a philosopher!"
!
Yang traps me in her bear hug again!
I try to pry away from her.
…
Darn it…
"Um, Yang… I think your sister needs air." Blake remarked.
Noting my suffering, she let go of me.
"Sorry…" She said apologetically.
I gasp desperately.
"Come at me, Miss Gorilla…!"
!
Out of sudden, someone shouted.
The three of us glance at the source of commotion.
I saw the same girl who passes by me this morning, right before Yang disappear.
?
Is it me, or that girl's hair is longer right now?
I swear her hair was neck length this morning.
…
She's arguing with some blond girl with breast bigger than Yang.
"Edelfelt, I'll make sure you'll pay dearly for this…" The black haired girl said while cracking her fist.
They're going to fight…!
On her face, a scary smile was present.
?
Wasn't her eyes were red…?
She has blue eyes like that Schnee girl.
Suddenly an identical girl enters the scene.
Oh, they were twins.
"Give it up, Rin. You're not going to win against her." The newcomer remarked.
"Shut up, Misaya! This is between Luvia and me. Stay out of it…"
"Alright, little sister… Don't say I didn't warn you…" The other black haired girl shrugged.
The blond girl called Edelfelt or Luvia rips off her own nightgown.
Well, she only ripped the arm part…
The rest of us stare at her crazy act.
"What…? This is the Edelfelt style of fighting." She remarked.
"I don't care. Prepare yourself, Edelfelt…!" The girl called Rin, ready her stance to brawl.
?
The moment Rin lunges to land her punch, Luvia disappear from our sight.
Out of sudden, she reappears from behind Rin!
She grabs Rin by her waist and lifts her.
[Loud thud]
In a few second, the match was over.
Rin was knocked out in one move.
That Luvia executed a suplex move on her.
"It looks like it's my victory, Miss Tohsaka… And it appears you were not conscious to bask in my glory." The blond girl stated.
Misaya pokes her sister's head using her finger.
"Sleeping already…?" She remarked with a mischievous grin on her face.
The three of us glance at each other.
"That was something…" Yang muttered.
Blake and I nod.
?
That Misaya girl had her eyes on us.
Wait, it's specifically Yang.
The red-eyed girl walks her way toward us.
"Weren't you the one who toss a water balloon at me earlier…?" She glared.
Yang grins sheepishly.
"Who knows…?"
[Whistling]
She whistled.
[Sighs]
The red-eyed girl sighs.
"There's no way I could miss a blond like you. I had to ask, why did you do that…?" She inquired with scrutinizing eyes.
Yang scratches her head.
"Uh, I mistook you for my friend but it turns out you were someone else." She reasoned.
"Never mind… It was a childish prank. We'd better get some rest. Tomorrow is the initiation." Misaya remarked.
Blake, Yang, and I nod.
She walks away after that.
"Wait…! Aren't you going tell us your name…? I'm Ruby by the way…" I stopped her.
She stops to reply.
"Misaya Tohsaka…" She said.
"Blake…" The bow-wearing girl responded.
"I'm Yang." My sister added.
"Please to meet you. Good night…" She waved with a smile.
"Wait, Misaya. Aren't you going to wake your sister…?" Yang asked.
The red-eyed girl glances in confusion.
"Just let her sleep over there. Don't wake her up. She's going to rant non-stop once she awoke. Growing up with her is a terrible experience." She shrugged.
…
When Misaya left, I decided to poke Rin on her head.
"Rubes, I'm pretty sure that's not a good idea." Yang said.
"Not my problem… I'm going back to reading." Blake told us before leaving.
I ignore the two of them and resume poking Rin on her head.
As if a switch had been flicked, Rin wakes up and stands.
"Where are you, Edelfelt…?!" She hollered.
She thinks she's still fighting against that blond girl.
"Hello, there…" Yang nudged her by her shoulder.
[Hook swooshing]
Rin responded by executing a hook, which Yang dodges with ease.
"Wait, you aren't Luvia… Where is she…?" She said while glancing around.
"Sorry, girl… You just got your ass kicked pretty hard back then. She already left several minutes ago." Yang stated.
Rin looks extremely irritated.
"Why that little…" She muttered.
"She's going to rant…" Yang whispered to me.
Both Yang and I thought she was going to rant.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case.
The black haired girl recomposes herself.
She takes a deep breath and exhales very loudly.
[Exhaling]
Then, she turns her attention towards us.
"I'm sorry for the commotion. Luvia and I weren't on good terms." She explained.
"That's obvious though. I thought you were going to rant." Yang said nonchalantly.
Noting that, Rin throws a glare at her.
Yang didn't seem to mind though.
Maybe she thinks she could take her on…
Well, considering she just got knocked out in single move just now, I don't think Rin stand a chance against Yang of all people.
[Sighs]
To my surprise, Rin sighs.
"My sister puts you up to this, didn't she?" She stated.
Yang and I glance at each other.
"So you're saying that she was lying about you like to rant a lot…?" I inquired.
Rin didn't answer though.
"I don't think I want to answer that question. But first of all, who the heck are you…?" She suddenly asked.
While her tone was a little harsh, her face seems friendly enough.
It's like a child waiting for her parents to answer her query.
"Aren't you going to thank us first…? We did wake you up. If not, you might be spending the rest of the night sleeping over there." Yang pointed out.
Rin sheepishly step back.
"I supposed… Thanks for waking me up." She said meekly.
Yang just shrugs.
"No big deal. I'm Yang. This is my sister Ruby." Yang introduced us.
I wave friendly at her.
"Please to meet you." She greeted with a little curtsy.
"I'm Tohsaka Rin..." For some reason she paused.
"Oh, my mistake… By the place standard, my name is Rin Tohsaka. Rin is my given name." She corrected herself.
"Well, we kind of knew your name already. Since that scary sister of yours slipped your name just now." I accidently slipped.
"Scary…?" She said confusingly.
Rin and Yang turn their attention to me.
"She…she has red eyes…! Kind of reminds of the Grimm or Yang when she's angry…" I stuttered.
Yang held herself from laughing.
"You know, that's going to make her sad…" Rin muttered.
"Eh…?" Both of us let out.
"Ever since little, people always called her a Grimm. There's nothing we can do since it was her natural eyes." Rin narrated.
"Sorry…" I apologized.
So, there are other people like me around Remnant.
And it's just because we're a little different.
"Hey, it's no big deal. Besides, she is scary. You don't know how she loves to torture those Grimm out in the wilderness. She's a sadist…!" Rin flailed her arms to make her point.
"Since she was torturing a Grimm of all things, I think the two of us could get along just fine." Yang remarked.
"Yeah, I kind of overheard Ruby slipping something about you being angry. Your eyes turn red when you got angry…?" She inquired.
Yang shrugs.
"Not really… It's my Semblance. It's a sign that my Semblance is on." She told her.
"Oh…" Rin took note.
"Speaking of which, are you really sisters…? You guys look nothing alike." She remarked.
"Ruby and I are step sisters. We got different mothers." Yang explained.
Rin nods at her explanation.
"I see. Then, shall we turn for the night…? It's rather late and we have a big day for tomorrow." She stated.
…
"Sure… Hey, why are you talking like that in the first place…?" I pointed out.
"Huh…?" She let out with a question mark.
"You're talking formally. I mean, you did slipped a little and talk casually from time to time but in the end, you talk formally again. It's like you're forcing it…" I reasoned.
She ponders for a while.
"You're right. Talking formally just isn't my forte. But I need to keep it for my status." She told us.
"Why is that…? Are you secretly a princess…?" Yang snickered.
!
To our surprise, she actually nods.
…
"You're kidding right…?" Yang dropped her childishness.
"Our kingdom is not that famous or large in particular. But a kingdom is a kingdom. My mother would always nag about being prim and proper all the time." She narrated.
The two of us gap.
Then, a mischievous face formed on her face.
"So, should I send a large package of lien for my gratitude…?" She asked.
The two of us were still gapping.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…! I didn't know you were a princess! I poke your head so many times…!" I franticly apologized.
For some reason, Rin glances franticly around.
"Are you an idiot…?! Do you want everyone else to hear that…?!" She said in low tone.
Luckily, no one else overheard us.
…
Maybe Blake accidently overheard us because she is coming to our way.
"Excuse me… I know it's rude for suddenly dropping by after I left, but this is a conversation I simply can't ignore." Blake stated.
Yang was still gapping.
"Ruby, if what she's saying is true, she wanted to keep her identity a secret." Blake advised me.
I glance at Blake and then to Rin.
But for some reason, Rin is massaging her temples.
"I didn't think it would go that far. Even a third party manages to catch on…" She muttered.
"Huh…?" Both Blake and I said.
"I'm sorry. I was just joking. I'm not a princess." She admitted.
Yang broke out of her gapping.
"I know you were kidding all along…!" She declared.
"As if… You totally fell for it. Your reaction was golden…!" Rin stippled a laugh.
I tilt my head in confusion.
"So, you were lying about being a princess…?" I asked.
"Yes, I lied. But the truth is, I'm an heiress. To be exact, I'm an heiress to a large company." She told us.
[Sighs]
Blake, Yang, and I sigh.
She played us good…
"Sorry… I guess I went too far with my joke. I wanted to get Yang back for what she did this morning." She explained.
?
"What happened this morning…?" I asked.
Yang looks away sheepishly.
"I kinda hit everyone with those water balloons." She whistled.
"That'll explain the commotion earlier." Blake stated.
"What commotion…?" I inquired.
"A group of people was hit with water balloons this morning." Blake clarified.
"Yeah. But why are you smirking?" Rin asked.
Blake smirks.
"Weiss Schnee…" She said in glee.
No wonder she was smirking.
But why would Yang toss a water balloon at Weiss…?
"Weiss Schnee… As in, the Weiss Schnee…?" Rin emphasized.
"Who's that…?" Of all people, Yang was the one who asked.
"Wait, don't you remember tossing a balloon at her…?" Blake asked her back.
"Don't know… Just keep tossing the balloon. I didn't know who got hit." She remarked.
"You mean that was the Schnee heiress…? Who would have thought…" Rin muttered.
"Why are you so surprised…? You didn't think that snobbish girl to be a Schnee…?" Blake asked her.
"No, I'd never thought she was that close to me." Rin answered.
"Um, you didn't swing that way by any chances…?" Yang asked in serious tone.
"Huh…? Are you joking…? She is my self-proclaimed rival. I'd never thought I would meet her so soon. Well, just passed by each other." Rin said.
"She's your rival…? In what…?" Blake inquired.
"I told you before that I was heiress, right…?" She replied.
"Oh wait… You're not going to tell us that you and that snobbish girl are actually sisters, are you…?" Yang interjected.
The three of us look at her bewildered.
"What…? I always watched dramas about rich people and how they always had secret offspring or something since they had an affair." Yang told us.
"Commoners' thought… I always hated those dramas since it made my father look bad. Let me get this straight, the Schnees and us are not related in any ways at all. There are no secret affairs or anything." Rin firmly stated.
"Who knows, you dad might hide something…" Yang uttered carelessly.
Rin was about to slap her when Yang closes her mouth.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way… Me and my careless mouth…" She apologized.
[Sighs]
Rin sighs.
"Why do people keep saying that…?" Rin mumbled.
I notice the sadness behind her voice.
"Rin, are you okay…?" I asked.
She shook her head.
"It's nice talking to you guys but I got to go now. Good night, people…" She bid us a good night.
…
"Yang…" I glared at her.
"What…? I didn't mean to hurt her or anything…" Yang franticly reasoned.

[Author's note]
This written a year ago.
I already finished writing the Initiation Arc and that's it.
I just want to hear your opinion.
I stopped writing this story a year ago.
It only has eight chapters so, in eight days, it will be completed.
