The Knight's first battle

Weiss POV

Weiss was getting ready for her first real battle. Not her first battle ever mind you. Just her first battle with her feelings on the line. It was vary simple. If Weiss loses she reads the first love letter she ever wrote to all of team RWBY. Including the one it was intended for. And yes I said first because she wrote many many more. Never being delivered of course. Now if she won Weiss and Ruby would both get permission to take a whole week off to visit her mother's grave. More then enough time to get there and back she could have Ruby to her self for three days. The only problem was the man setting up the chess bord. Weiss had been sitting as Ozpin had been getting everything ready. She had sat down on one of the vary comfortable chairs. That she had brought from against the wall. To the middle of the room as instructed by Ozpin. He had got his own chair as well. Next he retrieved a small table from the corner of the room set the chess bord on it. Now both sitting in the middle of the room. Chess bord on the table and ready to go. Ozpin asked.

"Witch color miss schnee" a light smile was on Weiss's face.

"And why should I chose professor Ozpin I challenged you"

"Did you not know the challenger picks color and whatever rule set they want.

"Then I'll take white." Still a light smile on her face. But it took all she had to not break into a big smile. So instead to stop herself she thought. I have won.

Ozpin handed her the white pieces and set up his own. Once they where both done. The two took some time to collect there thoughts and make strategy's. Ozpin being the one to suggest this. When they where both finished Ozpin spoke first.

"Are you ready." Was all he needed to say.

"Yes I am." Was Weiss's quite and confidant response. And so it begins.

They started out pretty evenly matched. But as Weiss expected Ozpin started to slowly outwit her. What started out an pretty even was now in Ozpin's favor

"You're doing better then I thought you would. I wasn't this good at your age." Ozpin said while taking one of Weiss's pawn. "You have a real talent for this game. But" he paused watching her next move then making his own. "I'm vary glad I didn't make you team leader. I can see now for sure that I was right in that decision. Just from this match alone I can see you aren't a fit for a leader.

Weiss's hand froze over her piece trying to think of what to say. "Yes" she then made her move picking off one of Ozpin's pawns. "I'm glad to. I am not fit to be leader nor will I ever be. Thank you for choosing Ruby." Weiss was being honest with herself. Right now in this moment. She was not lying to herself or anybody else. It would be a understatement to say Ozpin was surprised. He may not have been well acquainted with her but he still taught some class with her in them. And saw how prideful she could be. Getting back on track.

"If you agree then why challenge me." He said without any smirk or teasing he was being serious.

"It doesn't matter if I'm going to lose. I still had to try. It's not like I have zero chance. And besides if I do lose I'll have to do something I've been to weak to do. Something that should have been done by now." She said with absolute resolve. No fear anywhere to be found. She was ready for any outcome. And she was not without a plan. That being said she thought it time to unleash her plan. She took yet another one of Ozpin's pawn losing a rook. In the process.

Ozpin stared to think this to be wired. Why keep going after my pawns they aren't close to getting to the back to be changed. And if they where she would get them in her next turn. Why the pawns what's her goal. As Ozpin thought this Weiss made a big mistake. She left her king wide open for check. Ozpin was confused. No way she would make a mistake like this right. She left her king wide open. She must be baiting me but why. If I check her she'll just retreat her king behind her pawns. But then again I won't lose any pieces from this move either. The worst she can do is take my bishop. And get check herself. But that might be good. If i take her bluff I can set my own trap up. Fine miss schnee I'll take your bluff and set my own trap. Ozpin took his bishop not putting his king in check. As that would be against the rules. And put Weiss in check saying.

"That's check miss schnee" Ozpin looked at Weiss not knowing what face she would be making. Only to know he messed up seeing a huge smile and hearing.

"I have won." She took Ozpin's bishop as he thought she would putting his king In check and taking hers out saying. Something he wasn't expecting "checkmate I win professor Ozpin. You have lost."

"What are you talking about you only have check. My king can still be moved" he said waiting for a reply."

"What are you talking about. Have you never played Atlas chess before professor." Now there roles have been reversed Weiss was the one with the big smirk on her face. "It clearly stats in the Atlas chess rulebook. If a check is countered by another check the one countering wins. I can get a Atlas rulebook if you want."

"Atlas chess rules wait but who said we are using Atlas rules."

"Why you did you said the Challenger picks the color they want and the rule set to. You said that right before the match. So of course I'm going to use the rules I'm most familiar with."

"But you didn't say anything about Atlas rules" Ozpin Say's annoyed.

"So you just assume I'll use vale rules. You know I'm from Atlas and it's not my fault you did not ask." Knowing he lost Ozpin heaved a big sigh taking a minute to think.

"Fine as much as I hate to admit your right. I should have made sure of the rules. And besides it's not like you cheated. At least I know now why you kept taking my pawns out when you didn't have to. If by chance I did get a pawn to the back. You would have to tell me we're using Atlas rules."

Vary happily Weiss replied. "Yes in Atlas chess you can't change a pawn to any piece if you reach the back row. I would have been sunk if you knew the rules I picked. You would have made sure to get me in checkmate. Without a check."

"I have to admit miss schnee that was a vary clever plan. You have to tell me did you have this thought up before you challenged me or after."

"It was after when you were setting up the chess bord. I was thinking like crazy on how to beat you. And that's when I remembered something Ruby said sometime ago. She said."

"If we want to win we fight. We work together we plan. And most importantly we don't care what our opponents think of us. When we fight it's not just for our self's it's for the people we love and care for."

"Is what she said"

"I'm shocked not to be rude. But that doesn't sound like something miss rose would say."

"Don't be she didn't come up with it. She said that was something her mother taught her. She also said if it was her choice she would fight for cookies instead of herself.

"Ah that sounds better." Looking still a little bitter from his lose he said "well a win is a win miss schnee. So you and miss rose get your pass. And like I said you get a week. I'll make the pass for tomorrow and tomorrow is a Saturday so make sure to be back by next Saturday. Now go on tell miss rose. I'm sure she'll be happy.

"Yes thank you sir wait. Be back by next Saturday. When you said a week you didn't mean from Saturday to Thursday. but seven days as in Saturday to Saturday.

"Yes is that a problem cause I can Chang that if you wan" before he could finish. Weiss spoke so fast you would think she had Ruby's semblance.

"No not at all completely fine with it. Will once again thank you for everything. So like you said I'll go tell Ruby now". Once again looking like she stole Ruby's semblance. Weiss was out as fast as she could. Not wanting Ozpin to Change his mind. When she thought she was far enough away. She started to slow down and skip happily to her room. Half way there she saw the reason she played Ozpin in chess. She tried to hide her super good mood and said hi.

"Hi Ruby where are you going." The girl in red looked at Weiss and said.

"Oh hi Weiss I was just going to see Ozpin about a pass to visit someone."

"Oh really now that's good to hear. But I really need to talk to you. Like right now could we maybe go to the library."

"Ya sure but can it wait until after I talk to Ozpin."

"Ruby it won't be long and it is really important please"

"Well I gusse if it's that important sure" Ruby said a little cautious of her partner. Who has been acting wired since this morning. "Let's go."

"Great" the white haired girl said cheerfully. Now beside Ruby they start walking to the library.

The knight had won her first battle

Another chapter done first of all to all the chess players out there sorry if I got any rules wrong. Besides the ones about Atlas and vale having different sets of rules obviously that was just so Weiss could win the match.

And secondly thank to all who has read this far it means so much you got all the way to the end so thank you once again Opinions And criticism Are welcome that is all till next time
