((Alright, I think after writing the previous Episode 10, that's when I shifted the thing into a serious thing. So hopefully this rewrite should help.))
Now Loading...In the meantime, see Blake waving a little flag.
Weiss quickly leapt at the pig creature, killing it with a swift thrust. She took a moment to catch her breath.
"Well, that was quick. Good job, Miss Sch-nee." Port applauded her.
Weiss had no words for her team as she got up and left the classroom.
"Weiss?" Ruby chased her into the hallway. "Weiss! What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Weiss turned around. "Your plans are wrong."
"B-but I told you where to hit the boar." Ruby said.
Weiss huffed. "Oh, was that before or after the plan with the dinosaur?"
The plan could best be described through a snapshot of Ruby and Weiss riding a raptor with hats.
"...It would have caught him off guard." Ruby weakly replied.
"Damn it Ruby! You're treating this like...like some sort of game!" Weiss ranted. "You think just because you're the youngest student to attend Beacon and you fought a master thief means you can just command respect over everyone who worked hard to get into this school?"
Ruby was taken back. "I don't lord it over you. As your leader-"
"You just used the leader card!" Weiss turned to leave. "Gah! The Headmaster must have been high to make you a leader."
Ruby was alone in the hallway, reviewing Weiss's words. She couldn't help but feel that Weiss was right. "Did Mr. Ozpin make a mistake in choosing me?"
"You tell me." Ozpin replied.
Weiss made her way to the balcony. The sun was setting. "Wow, Professor Port's lecture took up the whole day."
"Yes?" Port asked.
"N-not that it's a bad thing." Weiss quickly complimented him. "Say, do you think I'm a good huntress?"
"Miss Sch-nee, everyone in Beacon has to meet a certain standard." Port pointed out. "But I bet you've got a lot of exclusive training since you are the Sch-nee heiress."
"Then do you think I would have made a good leader for my team?" Weiss asked, hope in her eyes.
Port frowned. "No."
"Why?"
"Because it's easier to choose the leaders base on the first letter of the team name." Port confessed.
Weiss was not pleased with his answer. "Really? How about if I give you a Sch-nee-Delite Bar?"
Port decided to set things straight. "Miss Sch-nee, have you ever watched cartoons?"
"Wha-" Weiss was surprised by the question. "A few..."
"And you've seen cartoons in a school setting." Port continued on.
"Yeah..."
"So you've seen the roles that rich and popular girls play in those cartoons." Port concluded.
Weiss realized it too. "Omigosh! I'm, like, an evil cheerleader! I can't be a Huntress with that kind of reputation."
"Exactly." Professor Port smirked. "So, are you still going to give me that bar?"
Back in the dorm, everyone was asleep except for Ruby. She was busy writing in her book. Just when her eyes are about to droop, Weiss came in. "Hot cocoa?"
"Thanks!" Ruby accepted the beverage. "So, you're not mad about..."
"No, there are just some things that are more important than a stupid title." Weiss admitted. "Being the sidekick or the straightman has some perks too."
Ruby accepted that. "That's great! But Ozpin just told me that being a leader bore a lot of responsibility..."
"Blah blah blah, insert speech of responsibility." Ozpin lectured Ruby. "Oh, and people will blame you if things go wrong."
Ruby stared at him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they won't blame a cute face like you." Ozpin assured her.
"Forget what he said, we're behind you." Weiss told her. "You just lead your team, and your team will lead you into victory."
After she left the room, Ruby looked down back at her book and smiled. "Wow, she sounded so badass."
Weiss peeked back through the door. "By the way, I elected myself as den mother. Now go to sleep, it's past your curfew!"
Ruby whined. "But mooom! What happened to your lesson?"
