(Weiss POV)(Point of View)

Weiss Schnee was conflicted about . . . well everything about her position at Beacon. She was the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Dust being the main resource used by hunters and huntresses, everything from the ammo to the lights uses Dust as a powersource. As the heiress she got almost everything she wanted, the best trainers in Atlas, the most up to date texts of the uses of Dust in combat, even recommendations from hunters and huntresses trying to buy her favor. But for all these things she wasn't the leader of the team she was on. No, that position was occupied by one, Ruby Rose.

Weiss's first impression of Ruby was that she was a child that got luckly to get into Beacon two years early. Weiss was ashamed to admit that she reacted to the news that Ruby was leader, by acting like a spoiled brat. Lashing out at Ruby for every little thing the fifteen year old did, whether it was helpful or just trying to be friendly.

After a talk with Professor Port, their history professor, where he pretty much told her that she was being a brat. She promised Ruby to be the best teammate ever. Unfortunately, Weiss could not think of a way to keep that promise. At first she just observed Ruby to see if she could find out what she liked to do.

The first thing Weiss saw in her observation that Ruby was studying hard, spending a large amount of time in the library.

"I could offer my help with catching up", Weiss thought.

Weiss thought it was obvious why Ruby was studying so much, she was moved two years ahead that amount of things she missed must be staggering for the younger girl.

"Hey, Ruby would you like my help with your homework", Weiss started the conversation as she sat down across from her.

Ruby's response surprised her. "No thanks Weiss, I already got it done"

That was when Weiss actually looked at the books Ruby was reading, they were high level theories on aura, semblance, and souls. In fact some of these books Weiss have read and found it hard to understand at times.

"Ruby do you even understand what your reading!?" her shouted surprised

"Yep" Ruby respond with a pop on the "p". .

"Prove it" Weiss wasn't gonna let this go with just without proof.

"Ok, the book in front of you basically details how a person's general attitude towards the world around them can influence how their semblance strengthen in some places and weaken in others. The book uses an example of a person who has a semblance that lets them manipulate water. If the person has a more frosty personality than it is possible in theory for the person gain the ability the manipulate ice. While the book near your elbow counteracts that theory saying that the manipulation of ice could of came from practice as ice is just frozen water, and haze nothing to do with the person's attitude."

Ruby paused there looking at Weiss waiting to hear what the heiress had to say.

Weiss for her part was stunned, she had only just reading theories like this. But Ruby looked bored while explaining them.

Weiss left, she had too, she could not help it, but she had the best teaching but Ruby out classed her. She had to come to grips with this situation, yet months later she still could not get over it.

At first Weiss was filled anger, now, though she was scared. She's spent the last few months training herself harder than ever, getting next no sleep studying, but she still felt Ruby outshined her.

As teammates Weiss could look at her teammate's grades and to her fear and shock Ruby Rose came in number 3 in their entire class. This shocked her because she knows Ruby has been coming to less and less of their classes lately. Always saying she was finishing something or needed to grab a book from the library. What she feared was just how far ahead of her Ruby really was.

"Did you hear about that Rose girl"

"Yeah my friend said she was blowing a guy in the Emerald Forest!"

"No way, isnt she like fifteen!"

"Dude, how much she asking?"

Weiss stoped, just stopped, all the fear and doubt wash away, anger filled her now. As she listened to some of her classmate's gossip.

"How dare they." she thought.

The mere thought of Ruby doing a thing like that. While Weiss didn't know Ruby well one thing she did know is that Ruby Rose was innocent, well more like clueless. It wasn't like Ruby didn't know about sex and the like, it was from what Weiss could tell she did not care about stuff like that. The mere thought was ridiculous to her.

Later that night Weiss heard the door close, she looked around Yang and Blake, were on their side of the room. She got out of her bed with a traitorous thought of whether or not those rumors were true.

Looking up at the bed above her and to her great surprise and horror there was no Ruby.

"N..no way she must of just went to the bathroom right? Yeah that has to be it" Weiss thought. She'll just wait for Ruby to come back and put this behind her with a good night's sleep. But three hours later no Ruby, just dread. Dread at the thought of what Ruby was doing.

"No she may just be training." Weiss thought but even before the thought could sink in a more reasonable thought came.

"At this time of night, who trains now when their teammates are asleep and sneaks out to do it"

Reasonable or traitorous Weiss could not decide, but as sleep demands her to it's realm one thought came to her.

"I have to watch Ruby to find out were she going and stop her, before she hurts herself".
