Chapter 10 : The Princess Vs The Heiress

Every now and then the first years would be tested for their strength, intelligence, reflexes, durability and hand to hand combat. Today was one of those days, only today they would be tested for their...swimming skills?

Rosa was by the other side of the pool as they have changed into their school swimsuits, a few days ago she had finished her initiation and was now a student of Beacon and part if team KR. The ladies wore a dark blue one pair swimsuit covering their entire body exposing only their arms and legs (and obviously their face too), the boys wore only dark blue swim trunks so there wasn't much to describe for them. Rosa didn't see the point in this so she wasn't in to this activity the moment Goodwitch told them to meet up at the campus pool, this was for the first year's so there were pool that were specifically for each students. One for first years, one for second years, one for third years etc, Ken was standing in line with the boys on the side of the people while the girls had stood from the other side of the pool observing them with luscious eyes, some were interested, some were not, some didn't even care about the boys. All though in the other hand, the men were checking out the women as well but some like Ken who was were a paying more attention at Goodwitch as she stood between the two sides sitting on bench with her legs crossed holding a scroll on her hand.

"Man the girls look absolutely stunning, what more can a man really ask for" said Jaune as he had his eyes glued to the women at the other side of the pool. "Lots of things Jaune, lots of better things" said Ren.

Ken looked at the two with a smile and back at the pool, "Let's not get any wrong ideas boys, ill be embarrassing if we ever become fully pledged huntsmen who can't swim"

"Yeah but I still don't see the point in this, I mean who doesn't know how to swim?" Jaune raised a brow and looked at the water below him.

"Well you'd be surprised, there are people out there who don't know how to swim" Ren planted his hand on Jaune as he replied. "They probably live at Vacuo, it's the only place I know people who can't swim since the beach is literally hours away"

"Jaune don't forget that there's grimm underwater too, I'll be our job to clean the ocean too you know" Said Ken.

"Ohhh ummmm right"

Meanwhile by the girl's corner, a certain young fifteen years old was glaring the waters with daggers as she carefully and gently placed her toe on the feet. As her toe made contact with the liquid, she immediately jumped to her feet and went behind a certain blonde brawler. "I can't Yang, I can't do this. What if the water sucks me in again" Ruby said behind her sister while gripping her by her waist.

"Ruby come on, it's just water it's suppose to sink you in. That's why we're here today to make sure we don't sink down, by swimming" Yang tried to loosen the grip of the young huntress but only made her hold on to her even tighter as class was finally going to begin. "Ruby grow up, water can't do anything to you. Stop being such a baby" Weiss now was assisting Yang to let Ruby release her hands from her sister but surprisingly the girl had a strong grip on her. It was a good thing Yang was used to these kind of thing, it doesn't mean that it stings a bit but any normal huntress or huntsmen would be crushed by Ruby's iron grip, the girl has surprisingly strong arms. Guess it happens when your weapon of choice of fighting creatures of grimm is a freaking scythe twice your own size.

Blake had no choice but to step in as she noticed her three teammates trying desperately to calm their team leader, "Ruby stop playing around and let go of Yang"

"No" Ruby said playfully, her eyes were closed shut as she didn't want to see the possible students watching the scene they were making.

"Ruby let go"

"No"

Come on sis let go"

"No"

"Ruby you're being a child let go"

"No"

Rosa was watching by the sidelines with an amused look but her satisfaction had ended early since Goodwitch had now finally began today's lesson. "Team RWBY, please behave yourself or I will send you four to the headmaster's office" said Goodwitch trying to calm the four first years.

"Yes Miss Goodwitch" they said in unison, Ruby finally let go of Yang but now she was crouching down hugging her legs not wanting to go on the water. "Come on sis, it won't be so bad. I promise I'll be there just in case you start sinking"

Ruby mumbled to herself as she continued to stay in the same position while Yang now turning to Weiss and Blake who had their brows raised to why Ruby was acting so strange about the pool, "I'm sorry guys, you see Ruby never really learned how to swim. Back when she was young we tried to teach her but she only kept crying cause she kept sinking, so we kinda gave up on that" Yang explained to the two.

Blake and Weiss folded their arms as they were now curious of their leader's fear of water, "How did you learn how to swim?" Blake asked.

"I learned back when I was ten years old, my dad would sometimes bring me to the beach and teach me. But Ruby always stood by the sand and make sand castles, she never liked the water" she explained.

Weiss was the next to ask, "And how exactly does she plan on getting this fear of the sea to rest?"

Yang simply shrugged her shoulders, "No idea"

Goodwitch now stood from her seat and explained the students today's exercise, "today class we will be testing your skill underwater, before we start we will be doing a small exercise to warm up, you will be swimming from the end of the pool and back in your own pace and when it is your turn again you will do the same exercise only you will be swimming in your top speed. When you finish you will wait until all students have finish their turn , Any questions? No? Then we will start with the boys"

Ken stood at the first line with Jaune by his side and Ren at the other, they all stood in position while Jaune being the only one not really knowing what to do. He didn't exactly not know what to do but didn't know how to stand like the rest of the students.

"Ready? Go!"

The Ken dived towards the water as he began swimming towards the surface and began swimming towards end of the pool, Ren had done the same and was slightly catching up to Ken. Jaune however didn't dove down the pool, nope just like his clumsy moments he fell down the starting point down the pool. Yup he fell down, he didn't dove down but fell. Poor Jaune really needs some serious help when it comes to these moments.

Jaune began paddling to catch up with his friends at the other side but he was too slow, he knew how to swim but he wasn't exactly the fast swimmer. Jaune was about half way towards the end of the pool trying desperately to catch up with both Ren and Ken however Ken had already swam past him already swimming back towards starting point of the pool. Later he was followed by Ren and other students which leaves Jaune the last remaining to finish his part. "Mister Arc please hurry so the next in line may begin" said Goodwitch.

It was rather embarrassing since he was literally the last one on the pool and he didn't even made it to the end point yet, so he began picking the pace and swim faster and faster. Seconds later he made it to the end point of the pool, he stop for a minute to observe the other students staring him down. He expected lots of eyes on him for his clumsy act but somehow he didn't received any glares at all, instead almost every student especially the girls side had eyes on Ken. He and Ren had risen from the pool and lightly shook their heads to dry themselves from the wetness of the water from their hair, sure Ren look dashing with his long hair but what really got most people's attention was Ken's hair. Not his body but his hair, as he shook his hair it blended so well with the water dripping down his neck, his hair had actually grown a bit and now reached his shoulder (similar to Ren only shorter since his hair reached down his waist I think). One of the effects of being half grim was that a person could grow their hair a lot faster then any normal human or faunus, say a human or faunus could grow their hair the same length as Ken. A human would take mouths to grow while faunus would take one mouth but Ken, it would take him only two weeks just to grow his hair like that. That meant he had to cut his hair daily, Jaune was left in the end point looking astonished as he looked at his teammate. "Wow, I wish I had that hair"

The boys side would give him glares and weird looks but the girl's side they were admiring the soldier's hair, most girls would look at a man's figure but nope they all looked at his hair instead. "How. Does. He. Do It" said Yang loudly.

Weiss turn to the busty blonde who gave the young soldier glares with a little touch of administration, "How does he do what?"

"That hair?! I try my very best to make it look like that and he makes it look like a walk in the park"

Blake had no knowledge of keeping someone's hair smooth and nice as Ken but she still couldn't help but comment, "I'm not much with my own hair but even I'm curious to how he keeps it that way"

Ruby and Nora were watching with sparkling eyes as they looked at the individual, "Pretttttyyyyyy" they said in unison.

Pyrrha didn't pay too much attention but she still couldn't help but see the great majestic hair of Ken, okay I think that's enough praising of Ken's hair.

Ken now walked back towards the benches to take a seat, but he was still receiving many looks from people who had been staring him down since he left the pool making him very uneasy. Jaune and Ren took a seat next to him and began to conversate with him, "Question, how exactly did you get your hair to be like that?" Ren asked.

"Hmm?"

Jaune was next "Dude everyone's got their eyes on you, wellllll more like your hair instead of you actually"

"Ummmm what do you mean? My hair is not that special, it's just like that"

"That's exactly what I mean, if you let it grow a bit more you might actually catch up with Ren"

Minutes pass as the boys side had finally finished their routine, now finally it was the girls turn to go and sadly Ruby was at the first row of the line. "No no no no no no no no no" she was hugging Yang entirely like a koala, as much as Yang tried to push her away had only made Ruby's grip on her tighter. "Oh for goodness sake, Ruby get off me please"

"No, I am not going down the water"

"Ruby"

"No"

"Ruby"

"No"

"Miss Rose!"

Ruby now looked at Goodwitch as she had been glaring her for the pass minute, "Please stand in line, release Miss Xiao Long at once!"

"Yes ma'am" Ruby immediately released Yang and stood in line as Miss Goodwitch gave the signal "Ready?! Go!"

Everyone in the first including Yang, Blake and Weiss now dove down the pool and began swimming towards the other side. Ruby on the other hand was still looking at the water, she was hesitant to dive in until Goodwitch raises her voice once more. "Miss Rose, please dive into the pool now!"

"Ummm professor, I don't think I can do this"

Later Yang arrived back at the starting point followed by Blake and Weiss, "Come on sis, water isn't that bad. At Least try"

Ruby still stood by the starting point with legs shaking violently, she really really really didn't want to go in the water. No she wasn't going in the water no matter what, even if Professor Goodwitch kept yapping all day trying to get her in the pool. She wasn't gonna let anyone tell her or force, even of the-

"Miss Rose! Get in the water!"

Ruby looked at the Yang one last time before she jumped in the pool, "Here goes nothing"

As she was now sinking in the water she began swimming towards the surface as best as she could for oxygen, Ruby inhaled a huge puff of air to her lungs as she had finally swam to the surface and began paddling towards the end point. "This isn't so bad"

"Alright Ruby!" Yang cheered, she was glad her sister was doing great so far. They had been struggling in the past just for her to walk towards water but now she was finally swimming, "Guess she just needed a little push" she thought

Ruby was halfway towards the other side and so far she was doing pretty good, not perfect but good. Since she didn't exactly practice swimming in the past, this was completely new to her. Everything was going A-okay, "Wait somethings wrong" Ken thought.

Suddenly Ruby's moves started to become...troubled, slowly her voice began to echo in panic. Her body began to sink as she lost her control of her paddling, seconds later she began to sink deeper until she was no longer at the surface, "Ruby!" Yang yelled.

Ruby was trying hard to paddle back to surface but somehow her body wasn't able to keep up, this only made her go deeper down the pool and now she was desperately trying her best as she was losing oxygen fast. Yang was about to dive in but Ken moved faster and dove first into the water and later she follows, Ruby had already reached the bottom of the pool and she was picking up the pace to get to her sister. She was getting very worried as she could see clearly enough that Ruby had closed her eyes, thankfully Ken was fast with his swimming skills and got to Ruby just in time. Yang thanked Ken silently as she started swimming towards the surface followed by Ken who held the Scythe wielder by his arms, as they made it towards the top, they swam towards the side of the pool and handed Ruby to the assisting students. Yang and Ken got out of the pool and immediately went to Ruby's side who was gently placed down, "Ruby?! Ruby?! Can you hear me?"

There was no reply to the young huntress making Yang in distress, "Ruby please answer me!" She placed her hands on the shoulders of her sister as she hoped that she'd open her eyes, "Wait Yang" Ken went towards the other side of Ruby and began observing the problem, "She probably still has water inside her"

"Yang, Ruby needs CPR. Do you know how to do it?"

Yang shook her head slowly as she could feel the tears falling from her eyes, "Look at me Yang, I'll perform CPR on her if only you let me. She needs to be treated immediately" Ken informed Yang.

She closed her eyes shut and gripped her knees as she pleaded, "I don't care what you do, just please help her!"

"Alright"

Ken began pumping Ruby's chest as he tried his best to pump the water out of her, "Come on just a few more times"

After a few pumps he gently placed his lips on her own to try and help her to breath, over by the sidelines Blake, Jaune, Pyrrha and Weiss couldn't help but blush at the scene. It's not everyday they see anyone putting their lips on a fifteen year old, but this was different. This was serious, and Ken was trying his best to save her, "Come on Ruby breath!"

Ken began pumping her chest and again and later placed his lips once more on her, this routine kept repeating and repeating. Team RWBY and JNPR were getting very worried that the little red wouldn't wake up, at this point Yang's tears were very visible as she was praying for dear Monty she would be okay. "Please wake up, please wake, please wake up"

Ken continued to give her CPR but he was getting just as worried as the rest of his teammates, Ruby wasn't responding and this wasn't good news. "COME ON RUBY WORK WITH ME HERE"

He placed his lips on her once more as he let out air for her to breath, but suddenly Ruby's eyes were slightly opening as she began to return back to conscious. "What's going o-" the last thing she saw was Ken's lips on her and immediately she had risen from the ground and began puking out the water that had been stuck inside her for a while. Ken back away a few inches and sighed in relief that it worked, Ruby was now coughing as the last of the water from her lungs had exited from her body. Yang immediately hugged her sister as she was happy her sister was back to her consciousness, "Ruby! Don't ever scare me like that ever again! You little red!"

"Yang...please...can't...breath"

"Yang I think your the one who's gonna end up killing her from suffocation" Ken said as he tried to get Yang to let go, "oh right sorry"

Goodwitch now stood at the center of the crowd as she kneeled down to check on Ruby, "Miss Rose are you okay? Anything broken or hurt?"

"No Professor, just a bit woozy"

"Very well, Mister Markes please accompany Miss Rose to the infirmary for check up"

"Yes ma'am"

"Wait I wanna go too, I'm her sister I want to go" Yang said as she tried to convince Goodwitch to go with Ruby, "Hmmmm Very well, the rest of the class will continue today's routine"

"Let's go Yang"

"Alright"

Ken picked up Ruby bridal style and began to walk towards the infirmary with the blondie.

Later Ruby was placed in a bed while being examined by a nurse as Ken and Yang waited by her side just to see if she was okay, "Alright Miss Rose, everything seems to be alright. Just make sure the next time you go swimming you don't do anything reckless" the nurse informed the young huntress.

"Yes ma'am"

Nurse bid farewell to Ruby and to both Yang and Ken as she left the room, Yang once again launched herself to Ruby hugging tightly in her arms not wanting to let her dear sister go. "Ruby don't ever worry me like that ever again"

Ken once again reminded the busty blonde to not squeeze her to death, honestly she is going to be the death of her sister instead of the water. "Yang please don't suffocate her, the nurse just checked on her and we might have to call her again if you keep squeezing her like that"

Yang without realizing the suffocation she's causing to her own dear sister let go "Oops sorry, didn't mean to go overboard"

Ruby inhaled a huge chunk of air to her lungs as she now turned to Ken while a visible blush had formed on her cheek, "I ahhhhh heard from the nurse that you performed CPR on me"

When Ruby was first informed that Ken was the one doing CPR on her, he wasn't present at the room. The nurse was informed by Goodwitcn through the nurse's scroll, he went out the room to inform Team RWBY or WY and JNPR that Ruby was doing okay, Ken shot her a smile as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "We're just happy your okay now Ruby, don't do these kind of things again"

Ruby was still blushing furiously as she avoid making eye contacting with Ken instead had her eyes on her legs, Despite being the perverted one of the group, Yang smiled at the scene between the two and pat her adorable sister on the head. "Thanks for saving my sister Ken, I don't know how I can repay you"

Ken returned the gesture and replied, "Just make sure she doesn't do anything like this again" Even Yang had her own blush forming on her face, not because of the slight affection she felt for Ken but because he was so nice and elegant. They may have met him recently but he had already made in impact towards them, she walked towards the soldier and gave him a kiss on the cheek of her gratitude. "That's for saving Ruby, aaaaaaaand for being such a cutie"

Ken was now the one blushing and looked away from the brawler's gaze, "Yaaaaang, I need a piggyback ride to the next class"

"Alright little sis, but we need to go back and get change"

"Fine" said Ruby playfully, "We better hurry tough, Professor Goodwitch's next class is starting soon"

As Ruby was being assisted on her feet, she looks at her sister with a grin making Yang look at her with a questioned look. She first kept grinning but then she pointed at Ken making her blonde sister finally remembering what she meant "Oh damn right! The freaking bet! I lost it"

As Professor's class was nearing it's end, the two teams RWBY, JNPR and KR were sitting together in a row as they had just finished watching a match between two combatants clashing for the win. Goodwitch stood by the center of the arena as she announced the next battle, "A wonderful display the two students gave, now for the next match Miss Schnee will be the next opponent to battle...hmmm" she looked around the crowd as to find a perfect opponent for Weiss, "Ahhhh Miss DeLaise, you'll be the perfect combatant for Miss Schnee. Please step forward"

The two student looked at each as Weiss simply humph at Rosa, while Rosa formed a grin on her face as they both stepped into the arena and prepare themselves. "If you're ready then the match will begin in thirty minutes, keep your eyes on your monitor and remember to watch when the other reaches the red bar"

"Yes Professor" they said in unison.

"Ready to eat dust Weiss" Rosa tried to give at least a few mocking words to get her opponent worked up, it was one of her strategies she used during her days as a mercenary but it seemed it wasn't working on Weiss. "As If, you'll be tasting the tip of my blade"

Rosa now equip her weapon Violet Stinger while Weiss took her stance with Myrtenaster on her hand, the two glared each other like predators as the count down came to it's final. "Ready? Begin!"

(Insert, Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma IIlya Ost : Emiya IIlya Theme, Here)

The two dashed at break neck speed as both weapons collided with one another, both trying to push back the other for dominates. Weiss immediately used Semblance to increase the force of her foot hold and launch herself further towards Rosa, she tries to repel this but the force of Myrtenaster was too strong and was force backwards of the arena. Rosa flips back in place in midair and went rushing again towards Weiss, she copies Ken's signature technique by positioning Violet Stinger in a reversed grip and began spinning towards the heiress. Apparently it was working so she increased the speed of her spin and continued circling at Weiss, the heiress had no choice but to use her semblance to deflect her attack and summoned a blue glyph to block her barrage.

"Copy cat" Ken thought grinning.

Rosa was pushed back a bit from her glyph and rushed again but changed Violet Stinger in her gun form, she began shooting Weiss with her pump action shotgun to catch her of guard but all her bullets were being deflected with the help of Weiss 's blue glyph. She tried to move in towards the side changing Violet Stinger in its melee mode to at least land a few hits on her, but still Weiss had the upper hand and jumped up high in the air using her glyph, then she used her glyph once again in mid air to launch herself back towards the ground at Rosa. "Take this!"

She position Myrtenaster straight at her with the tip of the blade at the ground, Rosa narrowly dodges her attack but she got away with a few hits since Weiss landed on the ground and used Myrtenaster's ice dust to create small pillars of ice. Rosa spared no time as her aura gauge had dropped just a bit and rushed once towards Weiss with one plan in mind, "Don't you get it, rushing me won't help" Weiss spoke.

"You'll never know if you don't try!"

This time Weiss allowed the ex-mercenary to get close and watched as she swung towards her at her sides, she easily blocks this and swings her rapier towards Rosa. Rosa jumps at the air which Weiss easily anticipates, but what she didn't anticipate was the fact that she felt the slash from behind as her aura gauge dropped into it's yellow bar. The attack was powerful and painful, if her aura didn't protect her then she would have most likely gotten another scar on the back. She looked behind her to find Rosa had already been behind her and began slashing her in many sorts of directions, Weiss didn't process what was happening fast enough and so back away with a few scratches. Her gauge still in the yellow zone she looked at Rosa with a puzzled look trying to figure out how she got her from behind, "How did she get behind me? She was at the air a minute ago and the next she's behind m-" her thoughts were interrupted as she heard her team cheering her on.

Ruby : Go Weiss!

Yang : Come on kick her butt!

Jaune : Go Weiss you can do this!

Nora : Break her legs!

"They are not helping, they're just making my distraction worst" she continued to look at Rosa and she began slowly walking towards her, "What's wrong Weiss, can't keep up?"

"Don't mock me you imbeeeecile?" Weiss couldn't understand what was happening as she saw Rosa began walking towards the air like it was a staircase, she then descended down towards the ground and hurled herself towards Weiss. "What?!"

Ruby and the rest of her teammates looked at the interesting scene as they had just saw Rosa floating in the air, "How does she do that?" She asked loudly.

Ken was sitting next to her so he began explaining in his loud voice so the rest could hear, "Her Semblance is flight, she can fly and float in mid air as she pleases. This gives her lots of advantages since she can literally attack in any direction"

All very useful but Blake had something to say to back up Weiss's own ability, "Weiss can kinda do that, with her glyphs she can use them as platform to catch her opponent of guard. Plus she can use them in variants of ways"

"Hmmm let's just see the resulting battle then"

Weiss and Rosa slashed and clashed as both blades repelled each other with each hit they send, none was able to land any hit but both combatants were now on the yellow bar as their gauge had slowly started decreasing from exhaustion. "All though Weiss may very well win this match, Rosa may be able to win this only by luck. She better think of something fast or she'll loss this one"

Rosa now took flight in the air and began hurling herself at Weiss with slashes, she came flying towards her from the sides and above just to get her to lower her guard. Weiss was in the same position since facing her like this wasn't exactly easy, she used her glyph to jump in the air and used Myrtenaster's ice dust to form a gigantic sword and hurled it at Rosa. She saw this coming but didn't have enough time to dodge the attack, she quickly changes Violet Stinger into it's shotgun form and shot directly at Weiss before being send towards the ground with her aura gauge now on red, Weiss was also hit directly with Rosa's gun and fell down from the air and laid on the ground with her aura gauge being at red as well.

(End Epic Music)

Both combatants got up from the floor and glared a each other, wanting to take the victory they took their stance once more. Goodwitch began walking towards the arena as she announces the end of the match, "both students now have reached the red bar of their aura gauge, this match is a dra-"

She was cur off as both Rosa and Weiss once again rushed at each other with the last remaining aura they had, "Stop this, the match is over!"

Both students were to fixated at each that all words from the crowd and Goodwitch couldn't reach them anymore, "Guys stop the match is over!" Ruby yelled.

"We've got to stop them" Yang summoned Ember Celica as she started running towards the arena followed by Ruby with Crescent Rose, Blake with Gambol Shroud and team JNPR by their side. Goodwitch as well was moving her way towards the two but Ken's speed had pass all of them and appeared right in the center of the arena between Rosa and Weiss, "Oh no" Rosa thought.

"Damn I can't stop" Weiss thought the same as both weapons were now about to approach the young soldier, Ken quickly uses his hand to catch Violet Stinger while the other blocks Myrtenaster, he was able to catch Rosa's weapon with only minor flaws as his arm felt the force of her swing but on the other side. Ken's left arm was pierced by Myrtenaster as Weiss couldn't control her attack and its pattern, He silently growled in pain as his arm began dripping blood. The blade had penetrated right through his left arm leaving a very devastated and worried Weiss Schnee now sitting on the ground clutching her combat skirt, team RWBY, JNPR and Goodwitch arrive just in time to witness the scene and now came to Ken's aid. "Oh my goodness Ken are you okay?" Pyrrha asked worried.

"Well obviously he's not, he's got a sword stuck on his arm" Yang informed loudly. Goodwitch now approach Ken as he clutch his left arm in pain, "This must be treated immediately"

"No"

"No? Mister Markes you're hurt, you myst treat the wound now"

"No really I'll be fine...look"

He then pulled out the blade from his arm and minutes later it began to heal itself like it never happened, yes his left sleeve was ripped but still his arm was as new as ever. "How did you?" Rosa asked looking at Ken's arm. He gave her no answer and simply winked at her which she immediately gets, later Goodwitch as well was informed as Rosa, both remembering him being a half grimm. "I shouldn't let my wounds heal like this in public, ill be hard to explain"

Both Teams still had worried looks so Ken decided to approach Weiss who was sitting on the ground still clutching her skirt with tears dripping down her eyes, as much as they were all worried about him, he was more worried about Weiss then he is about himself. He kneeled down to face the heiress and spoke softly, "Weiss, it's okay I'm fine. Look my arm is all better, I know you didn't mean it"

He show the white heiress his left arm she apparently had pierced and placed it closed to her cheeks, "I'm...I'm...I'm sorry...I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" she kept repeating.

Ken placed his hand on her head while she still kept his arm close to her cheeks still crying, he then pulled his forehead towards his own and softly spoke to her to calm her down. "No more crying, an heiress like you should never be seen with tears. It ruins the beauty of a strong individual"

Somehow it actually worked, her cries slowly became sniffs and later what was left is just red eyes and red cheeks, Ken couldn't help but smile at her adorableness and finally discarded himself from her. He looked behind to his team to find everyone grinning except Ruby, Yang and Rosa, he then looked back at Weiss and offered her a hand. Weiss looked up at the young soldier and saw the majestic smile he had been giving everyone for the past days, her cheeks began to feel hot and she quickly accepts the offer and went grab her weapon. "I'll...I'll be going now" she announces.

She then began pacing towards the exit leaving the teams puzzled and weirded out, Goodwitch was about to call out for her but Ken had stopped her before she could speak. "Leave her, a person needs time to recover from situations like this"

The class was dismiss early that late afternoon and Team RWBY immediately went towards their dorm to find and comfort the white heiress, Ken was left with Goodwitch as all students were no longer present. "These students aren't so different from my own squad"

"And why is that?" Glynda asks.

"Well their just as stubborn and naive but skilled and talent like most people"

"You're very bold to say such statements"

"But they're true"

That night Ken was sitting on a nearby balcony letting his thought roam free while letting the breezing air sour through his hair, today surely was a very interesting day if I do say so myself. "Tommorow is the day they arrive, what ever happened is probably big since they're coming here towards Beacon to-"

"Ken"

Ken turned to look at the voice who called for him, he found none other then Weiss Schnee standing by the entrance of the balcony with her arms close by her chest and expression being slightly upset. "Weiss? What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

She lightly nodded her head as she approached him, she took a seat close to him as he sat on the edge of the balcony. "You're going to fall" she changed her tone a bit to inform him the danger of falling from heights. Ken chuckles as he look at her, "Don't worry about me, now tell me what's bothering you?"

Weiss hesitated for a bit before answering, "Did you really mean it? Me being a beauty?"

"Of-of course I do, why wouldn't I?" Weiss now lightly blushing and turned away from him, "Don't get any wrong ideas!"

Ken held his hand in defense as he answered, "Yes yes of course, is this what's bothering you though?"

Weiss didn't know how to say this properly, she said it before at the arena but now it felt different. Saying it to someone like Ken was too difficult to otter out, especially as kind and gentle as Ken. "I'm...I'm...I'm..Come on Weiss say it...I'm sorry"

"Really, Weiss I forgive you. You don't have to-"

"Let me finish you dunce!"

"Okay okay"

She inhaled as she now began her speech she had put together, "I'm sorry for hurting you earlier, I'm sorry for all the other things I've done like calling you names, and I'm sorry for judging you thinking you weren't worthy to just pick people from places like the street. Obviously you picked Rosa because she posses skills that would be beneficial to your team and her career, and also-"

She once again inhaled one last time to finish her apology, "I'm sorry for miss judging you thinking you were another lucky person to come to Beacon, guess I was wrong about you this whole time"

Tears formed down her eyes once more as she couldn't help but feel emotional for the accident she caused, but Ken was a very forgiving person so he chose to hug the young heiress while stroking her hair like a child. "It's okay, just don't be so reckless next time. Okay?"

Usually Weiss would not let anyone do this to her but right now she didn't care and returned the hug the young soldier had offered, she lightly nodded her head to answer him and stayed like this for about a minute. Later she let go the of him to finally gather her tears and thanked him, "Thank you Ken, not many people are forgiving like you"

"Well you're just not looking at the right places, you should go to sleep. It's getting late"

"You should too"

"I think I'll stay here a bit longer"

Weiss began walking towards the direction of her dorm but not bother telling Ken one last comment, "We need more people like you Ken, the world needs more forgiving people" just like that she had already began walking towards her dorm.

Ken made sure she was away from ear shot before mumbling to himself quietly, "If you knew who I truly was, then you would have said the opposite"

Ken gazed at the night stars as his thoughts went back to his squad, "Tommorow is the day they come, the Vytal festival is just a couple of more days away from now, and I'm still looking for the last member to form my team. Wade is most likely going to arrive with the rest my squad and father would be there as well, geez I really hope my father doesn't make those dramatic entrances again"

"I guess until then, I'll have to expect the unexpected"

Common : Hope you guys enjoy this cause this was something I've been planning for a while, I am really looking forward to the next chapter cause interesting things will be happening there.

Ken : How exciting (sarcastic)

Common : You know the story had been getting lots of love, that I've even thinking about writing an alternative timeline. Instead of you being the protagonist you become the antagonist instead.

Ken : What?!

Blake : Sounds interesting

Ken : No it's not

Yang : Sounds pretty good to me

Ken : Guys?!

Common : Ahaha well it is interesting.

Ken : You sometimes are a very bad person you know.

Common : Thank you, anyway guys I've decided to leave the harem since many of you choice to keep it, i won't be including Goodwitch and Ruby for reasons you already know. I've been having a really hard time writing this chapters for you so please bare with me if its a day late or something. Also yes i like the opinion 'monkiepawn' told me on the reviews. As Well mister 'TheMao17' for his view on the story i totally agree with you too but anyway we will be doing the outro now

Ken : Common would appreciate it if you left a review for this chapter, It shows the support you have for the story and don't worry cause he'll accept anyone's comment even bad ones.

Weiss : If you like the story then feel free to click either the follow or favorite button, or both i don't know.

Blake: if you have any message you want to send him then go and PM him and he'll happily read through them.

Jaune : if you have any ideas for an Oc the go ahead and fill the registration below this chapter, remember we are not only looking for Male Ocs but female Ocs too so go ahead and fill them if you want. I'll be more interesting if the Oc or their past had anything to do with Ken. You'll never know your Oc might actually end up on this story.

Ken : Also who do you think should end up with me? Leave at the reviews or PM me. Check.

Common : One more thing before i leave, i was reading an author's message from Viper's Glare and it really pained me to hear that haters actually pushed him far to tell him to even kill him self! Seriously people, if any of you are like that out there please don't make someone else's life miserable just because they write amazing stories. People like them had gotten so low to tell other through the freaking internet to kill themselves. How about you just shut the fuck up and sit down, for those who support this guy or girl please support this his/her story cause it's really good. I encourage you my fellow readers to give him your support and if you haven't read his story...then go and read it it's freaking good! I can honestly say his story and writing is very much better then my own. Anyway until then.

Unison : See ya laters!

Ken : Geez creator calm down, you look like you're about to explode.

Common : Sorry just had to let that out, honestly these kind of people ar-

Yang : COMMON! What did you say about Ruby being in a harem!

Common : Ohhhhh crap.
