Everyone is talking excitedly about the upcoming Vytal Festival of course. Everyone except Weiss and Ruby. They were huddled together with their notebooks and their textbook open for Professor Peach and taking copious amounts of notes. Weiss is the more focused of the two, as Peach's class was her worse subject, being basic field survival tactics, while Ruby is already at the top of the class.

But they both look up at the squeal of pain, and growl in unison as they see Cardin Winchester holding a rabbit faunus named Velvet Scarlatina by one of her ears.

"Last chance Winchester! Let go of my ear!" The smaller faunus girl growls out, causing a loud guffaw from the taller boy.

"Or what? You're gonna nuzzle me to death?"

Her scream of rage is barely drowned out by the sound of her full lunch tray connecting solidly with his face. Ruby and Weiss look on in shock and growing admiration as Velvet demolishes team CDNL in short order, and to their delight, has the bully held by his own ears and is slamming his face into a table with them when Professors Goodwitch and Oobleck suddenly show up and break them apart.

Ruby and Weiss both join the scattered cheers as Velvet is escorted out of the cafeteria via Professor Goodwitch's semblance as their tails wag in delight. They both agree later on that Velvet Scarlatina is their new hero.
