A /N
It seems many people have been looking forward to next chapter, I hope I will be able to deliver.
In response to someone saying the previous code makes them think of slavery. It actually refers to adoption in one of the greatest games ever (in my opinion) Trails in the sky.
Someone made a review saying the world of remnant videos are all retconned. I could not find any evidence of this so could someone please confirm either way.
Regarding bringing in more people to the viewing. I have plans to bring in some people but not many. Also I will only do so at the end of a volume. Who I introduce is limited to certain criteria: they must have continued relevance in the story, they must not be against team RWBY in any way, they must not have any knowledge that would compromise the viewing, they should not be full adults yet, and we must have enough info on them to understand their personality. This means no Qrow, Ozpin or Glynda and CFVY are unlikely to appear given the shows current direction.
By the time everyone was back in the viewing room to watch the next video it was already mid-afternoon. At least from their perspective, in truth the only method they have is the times on their original scrolls.
Before she sat down Weiss grabbed Yang's arm and leaned in to whisper something without anyone else listening. "Did you deal with whatever was going on with Ruby?"
Yang glances at her sister who sitting down on the sofa readying a few of the snacks they'll be having. "I think so, there is a chance that she might be a bit quiet for a while, but it's Ruby, I'm sure she'll bounce back eventually."
"What was it even about?" Weiss asks. 'If there's something troubling her then I should be there to help.'
"Don't worry about it." Yang reassures her, "It's more of a family matter."
Blake smiled, having overheard the entire conversation, it was good to know that her friends would be able to handle it.
Once they are all sat down Ren reaches to take the remote. But it's snatched by Nora before he can get a firm grip.
"Too slow." Nora mocks, as she starts the next video.
Volume 1: Chapter 6: The Badge and The Burden
"Ohhh dear." Weiss mutters. She has a pretty good idea as to what may be shown next.
Meanwhile Jaune is thinking about if it may relate to his conflict with Cardin. 'It would make some sense.' He thinks, not entirely sure of it.
The opening ends to the window overlooking Beacon Academy from the new room of Team RWBY, panning over to Weiss sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning.
"I think I remember what comes next." Weiss gives a light-hearted glare in Ruby's direction. Ruby just shrugs in response.
Ruby, dressed in her school uniform, still with her signature cape, creeps up on her side and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed.
"I'm sure you could have found a better way to wake us all up." Weiss complains.
"You were the only one still asleep." Yang comments.
"It's surprising you could sleep through Yang being so loud in the morning." Blake mentions, only to receive a nudge from her partner in response.
"It was a busy day before that and I didn't get much sleep beforehand." Weiss desperately tries to defend herself.
"Good morning, team RWBY!" Ruby greets everyone enthusiastically.
"What in the world is wrong with you?" Weiss responds from the floor.
Ruby ignores the question. "Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business."
"Excuse me?" Weiss asks, brushing the dust off of her arms as she gets up.
"Yes!" Nora chuckles manically. "Show us the secret plans you have hidden from us."
"Decorating!" Yang is shown standing next to Blake, both in school uniforms and Yang holding an assortment of random items.
"What?!" Weiss responds.
"Aww…" Nora's shoulders drop at the disappointing reveal.
Blake lifts up her suitcase. "We still have to unpack." The suitcase opens, spilling its contents. "And clean."
Weiss glares at them, clearly frustrated, but is then suddenly taken off her feet as Ruby blows her whistle in her face.
"That was unnecessary." Weiss says.
"Are we going to complain about every little thing?" Pyrrha tries to alleviate the tension.
Team RWBY look at each other for a bit. "I guess you're right." Weiss answers. 'Don't want others to have reason to make fun of me later.'
"Alright!" Ruby stands in front of the door. "Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission. Banzai!" She raises her fist in the air.
"Banzai!" Yang and Blake stand either side of Ruby, doing the same pose.
Once again on the floor, Weiss sighs at her teammates antics.
'I guess this has nothing to do with me.' Jaune is relieved. 'Maybe we won't see it at all.'
Upbeat montage music plays as team RWBY start decorating.
Yang puts up a poster of a boy band. Weiss, now in uniform, positions the painting of the Forever Fall forest to perfection and walks away. Blake is putting her books on the shelves, including a copy of 'Ninjas of Love' which causes her to glance around to make sure no one sees it.
"What's that about?" Ruby asks Blake, oblivious to the indication.
Blake blushes. "It's…"
"Nothing we need to worry about." Yang quickly interrupts. She then turns to Blake and whispers. "We will talk about this later."
Ruby uses the end of Crescent Rose to hand up the curtains. But once finished, as she turns around she accidentally slashes the bottom section of the curtains.
"I wondered how that happened." Jaune says.
"It was an accident!" Ruby whinges.
"And here I was thinking it was to make the place look cool." Nora sighs.
The perspective pans around the room, showing the different things that have been put up. Including the curtains that are sown back together.
However when the full view is shown several beds can be seen crammed together in the centre of the room to make space. The montage music ends abruptly.
"How did that even happen?" Jaune asks.
"I honestly have no idea." Ruby comments, her teammates nodding in agreement.
"This isn't going to work." Weiss comments on the state of the room.
"It is a bit cramped." Blake admits
"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff..." Yang proposes.
"I'm sure you could still fit the beds if you placed them properly." Pyrrha comments.
"Not if we wanted anywhere to stand." Yang points out.
"Or we could ditch the beds..." Ruby's mood suddenly picks up. "…and replace them with bunk beds!"
"Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous." Weiss warns.
"And super-awesome!" Yang counters.
"It does seem efficient." Blake says.
"Well, we should put it to a vote!" Weiss looks for a way out.
"I think we just did." Ruby points out.
A small laugh can be heard from Weiss. "I'm glad we decided to go through with it."
The girls rush of screen, setting up the bunkbeds as sounds of jackhammering and sawing are heard.
"What were you doing?" Ren is startled by the construction noises.
"I…don't remember… any of those noises." Ruby comments.
"Definitely not." Weiss agrees.
"I think it was added for comedic effect." Jaune sounds uncertain as he says so.
"Does this mean we can't trust the future events?" Ren asks.
"I think as long as it's in a serious setting then we can trust it." Jaune replies.
The girls appear back in the front of the room.
"Objective: Complete!" Ruby announces.
While Weiss' bed is simply on the ground next to her art and luggage, Blake's bed is next to her books, which are used to raise Yang's bed over it by placing the novels on the posts, and Ruby's is hanging from ropes on the ceiling with a blanket used as a tent over it.
"You certainly know how to make a place feel like home." Pyrrha comments.
"We once tried moving some of the shelves, but in the end, we liked everything the way it was." Blake says.
"How do you get to the books between the beds?" Ren asks.
"We don't." Yang replies. "Those books aren't very useful."
"Alright!" Ruby yells "Our second order of business is...!" The room spins until she lands on her bed and a book lands in her lap "Classes..." She pulls out a pencil. "Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be…"
"What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?" Weiss interrupts.
"Umm." Ruby responds.
"It's 8:55, you dunce!" Weiss tells them all as she turns around to run out of the door.
"Hey!" Yang is slightly pissed. "Don't call my sister a dunce!"
"It's okay Yang." Ruby tries to calm her sister. "We worked things out."
Outside the corridor Weiss runs off as Ruby Blake and Yang peer out from the door. On the other side of the corridor the members of JNPR are doing the same.
"To class!" Ruby declares after a short mental stumble. She runs, following Weiss, as Blake and Yang follow her.
"Class?" Jaune questions, just before the rest of his team falls over on him. "We're gonna be late!" He yells as he runs after team RWBY, shortly followed by the rest of JNPR.
"We never did thank you guys for that." Jaune says.
"For what?" Ruby asks.
"We would have been late if you hadn't been so loud." Jaune replies.
"That was never our intention, but thanks." Blake says.
In the courtyard the students are all running to class as Glynda and Ozpin watch from the side. Glynda checks her watch and Ozpin simply sips his coffee.
"They were there!" Yang is surprised.
"Did anyone notice them?" Ren asks.
Everyone shakes their head or shrugs.
"I think we were to worried about getting to class." Weiss points out.
"We did only just make it." Blake comments.
The sight of an axe-blunderbuss weapon pans down to the boards displaying various species of Grimm (King Taijitu, Death Stalker, Beowolf, Boarbatusk, Nevermore, and Ursa) behind the teacher, Peter Port.
"Monsters! Daemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" Professor Port begins the lecture. Ruby is shown half asleep until woken by the bad joke.
Weiss is about to comment on Ruby sleeping in class, but then closes her mouth, choosing not to.
"Why do some teachers have to insist on being cool?" Yang asks rhetorically. "It never works."
"I believe that's just his personality." Pyrrha mentions.
"And you shall too." Port continues while pacing in front of the class. "Upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..." he winks at the girls which causes Yang to groan.
"Urgh!" Present Yang groans as well, "That is so creepy! Why does he have to do that?"
"Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves!" Port says. "From what, you ask? Why, the very world!" He raises his fist in a triumphant gesture. One student copies this action while cheering, but then backs down when everyone looks at him strangely.
'So glad I had the common sense not to do that.' Jaune thinks.
"That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man..." Port begins his tale. "Me! When I was a boy..."
Ports voice fades into the background and all that can be heard is him repetitively spouting incomprehensible nonsense.
"Ha!" Nora laughs. "That's exactly what I hear when he spouts one of his insane stories."
"You're one to talk." Yang counters.
"My stories are at least entertaining!" Nora points at Yang accusingly.
Weiss looks over her shoulder to notice Ruby's putting pencil to paper in erratic ways.
"...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man." Port can be heard for a moment "Peter, he told me..."
"He can be a good teacher on occasion but still…" Weiss complains. "We barely learn anything!"
"Most Hunters would rather not spend their time teaching." Ren explains. "This caused the academies to be relatively understaffed in the past. So they added many incentives to be a teacher that lead to some… less skilled teachers being hired."
Ports speech fades again as Ruby chuckles at her creation and shows it to her teammates: a ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Ruby blows a quick raspberry. Blake and Yang laugh, but Weiss looks annoyed.
"Don't let me find you doing that in class again." Weiss turns her eyes to Ruby.
"I won't!" Ruby quickly responds.
"You mean you won't do it, or that you wont get caught?" Nora asks.
"I won't do it." Ruby clarifies.
"Ah-heh-hem!" Port gets everyone's attention "In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheer tenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!"
'A single Beowolf?' Yang thinks. 'That doesn't sound too impressive. Unless it was an alpha… wait no. If he captured it I suppose it was impressive.'
The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's antics.
The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honourable!" Port concludes. Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face.
Ruby shrinks back into the sofa.
"A true Huntsman must be dependable!" Port continues. Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year.
A small laugh can be heard from some of the others.
"A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!" Port finishes. Ruby is not-so-subtly picking her nose, making Weiss start shaking in anger.
Ruby pulls her hood over her head, trying to hide her flustered expression from the others.
"So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port asks the students.
Weiss still looks angry as she raises her hand "I do, sir!"
'A bit arrogant.' Blake thinks.
"Well, then, let's find out!" Port turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it. "Step forward, and face your opponent!"
The unknown monster continues to growl.
Surprisingly, Weiss takes this opportunity to speak to everyone. "I apologise in advance for anything I may say."
This shocks some of the others, who try to remember what happened during that time.
Weiss stands in combat attire, readying her Myrtenaster at the growling creature in the cage. Her teammates cheer for her.
"Go Weiss!" Yang yells.
"Fight well." Blake waves a flag with RWBY written on it.
"Yeah, represent Team RWBY!" Ruby cheers.
Weiss lowering her sword and looking over to Ruby. "Ruby! I'm trying to focus!"
"Oh, um... Sorry..." Ruby sheepishly replies.
'Ruby wasn't the only one who was cheering!' Yang thinks, but decides not to say anything. 'I guess that's why Weiss said what she did.'
"Alright!" Professor Port announces, "Let the match begin." He pulls out his axe and uses it to release the lock on the cage.
The cage opens revealing a Boarbatusk that charges straight at Weiss. She uses Myrtenaster to deflect its attack and roll to the side, readying herself for its next move. The Grimm stands a distance away from its enemy, studying her.
"Ha ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?" Port comments.
"Hang in there Weiss." Ruby yells to her teammate.
'This fight did not go as well as it should have.' Weiss recalls.
Weiss is now speeding towards the oncoming Boarbatusk, sticking her blade straight at its skull until they meet, and the boar knocks its tusks to the side causing Myrtenaster to be trapped in them. Weiss is still hanging on to the hilt, and is tossed around as she struggles to get the rapier back.
"Bold, new approach. I like it!" Port continues his commentary in the background.
"Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!" Ruby cheers again.
Weiss turns to glare at Ruby, only for the Boarbatusk to turn its head and rip the sword from her grip. Myrtenaster lands far away from its master, who is knocked back by the creature's tusks.
'That was my fault for being distracted.' Weiss thinks.
"Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port asks.
Weiss looks up just in time to see the Boarbatusk charge again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid getting trampled and make it crash into a desk. Weiss rushes at her sword and slides to get it back in her hand.
"Weiss! Go for its belly!" Ruby advises from the side-lines "There's no armour underneath…"
"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss interrupts, causing Ruby to frown dejectedly.
Yang tightly grips her armrest, struggling to stay quiet.
Meanwhile, the Boarbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air and landing on the ground, consistently gaining speed until it launches itself at Weiss.
It comes closer and closer, but Weiss activates one of her glyphs and blocks the roll, leaping up into the now-black snowflake symbol and turning it blue again so she can drive the blade into the Boarbatusk's stomach. It squeals and falls silent while Weiss gasps in relief.
'I think I was trying to fight it without using my glyphs.' Weiss recalls. 'In the end I decided that would never work for me.'
"Bravo! Bravo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!" Port says once the beast is felled. Weiss stands up at attention from her exhausted position and Ruby continues to glance down to her lap, looking hurt.
"I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today." Port continues "Be sure to cover the assigned readings, and... stay vigilant! Class dismissed!"
Weiss glares and turns away, walking hurriedly to the exit past her teammates.
"Sheesh, what's with her?" Jaune comments as Weiss leaves.
Weiss stiffens at this comment. 'Even past Jaune was thinking I was out of line. I wonder how they react to what happens next.'
The remaining members of Team RWBY look at each other with the same question.
Later in one of the corridors Weiss is still storming off, but Ruby turns a corner and manages to catch up with her. "Weiss." She calls after her partner.
"I've never seen this." Yang comments. "Is this how you made up?"
Weiss dips her head slightly. "Not exactly. That happened later."
"What?" The heiress replies as she turns to face Ruby.
"What's wrong with you?" Ruby asks. "Why are you being…?"
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" Weiss retorts. "You're supposed to be a leader, and all you've been so far is a nuisance!"
Ruby scoffs. "What did I do?"
"That's just it… you've done nothing to earn your position! Back in the forest, you acted like a child, and you've only continued to do so!" Weiss complains.
"I admit I was being immature during the class." Ruby says from under her hood.
"And since then you have been much better at paying attention in class." Weiss says. She then catches a glimpse of Ruby smiling under her hood.
"Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about 'working together'? I thought you believed in acting as a team." Ruby reminds Weiss.
"Not a team led by you." Weiss says. "I've studied and trained. And quite frankly, I deserve better."
Weiss turns her back to Ruby, who tries to reach out but drops her hand with the following words.
"Ozpin made a mistake." Weiss walks away, leaving Ruby alone.
"He does seem to have some unusual reason to have Ruby as team leader." Ren points out.
"That's certainly true." Weiss responds. "Though I will admit Ruby has a good intuition and battle sense."
Ruby, now with her hood down, smiles at this. "I try really hard!"
Ruby turns around to come face to face with the headmaster, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and his cane in the other. "Hmm... Now that didn't seem to go very well." Ozpin comments.
"He was there!" Weiss almost jumps in shock. "He heard everything!"
"Yeah…" Ruby replies, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Why didn't you tell me!?" Weiss is frantically thinking of how to apologise.
"He didn't seem to care too much about how you acted." Ruby replies.
"He always seems to know what's going on." Blake points out. "And he never seems too bothered by it. He figured out I was a Faunus almost immediately, and arranged a meeting to talk about why I hide it from others."
"Is she right? Did you make a mistake?" Ruby asks, on the verge of tears.
Ozpin laughs slightly "That remains to be seen."
Scene change to Weiss, walking around the halls until she comes across a balcony where Professor Port is watching the sunset over Beacon Academy's rooftops.
"Yes!" Ruby cheers. "I finally get to see why you changed." She is much more upbeat than she was at the start of the video. Yang sighs in relief at this.
"I didn't change." Weiss protests. "I just decided to show a different side of me."
"More like you decided to remove a mask." Blake deduces, feeling for her bow. 'Should I take it off? It's not as if anyone here doesn't know.'
In the end she decides not to. Better to avoid being stared at, even if they don't have any malice towards her.
"Professor Port!" Weiss walks up to the teacher.
"Ah, Miss Schnee!" Port turns to look at her "And to what do I owe this fine pleasure?"
"I... I enjoyed your lecture!" Weiss compliments.
"Did you really?" Yang jokes.
"It was good to know that we had a teacher with some level of practical experience." Weiss answers seriously.
"You didn't think he was just boasting?" Blake asks.
"He was able to get a captured Boarbatusk into a classroom without any problems." Weiss replies. "That alone proves that he has a high level of skill."
"Of course you did, child; you have the blood of a true Huntress in you." Port makes a big deal about himself.
"You really think so?" Weiss smiles at the compliment.
"Most surely!" Port notices Weiss' small frown and lack of eye contact. "Hmm... Something's troubling you."
"Yes, sir..." Weiss replies.
"Dear girl, confess to me your strife." Port enunciates dramatically.
"Well..." Weiss pauses for a moment. "I think I should have been the leader of Team RWBY."
Port is silent for a moment until he speaks "That's preposterous!"
"Ha!" Nora laughs. "He certainly knows how to cut you down a peg."
"What do you mean?" the video cuts back to Ruby's conversation with Ozpin, where she is responding to his previous comment.
"This in another thing that happens in shows." Jaune explains before anyone can ask. "They cut between two similar conversation, so we don't have to watch the same thing twice."
"Your knowledge is certainly helpful." Pyrrha compliments her partner.
"I mean, it's only been one day." Ozpin explains "Ruby... I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet. But at this moment, I would not consider your appointment to leader to be one of them." He leans in, so he can look more directly at Ruby. "Do you?"
"What mistakes has he made?" Ren asks.
"We may find out later." Blake points out. "Perhaps it relates to the CCT woman somehow."
"Or the woman he was speaking to at the beginning." Pyrrha mentions.
"Enough wild speculation!" Weiss declares. "We can find out by watching."
The scene cuts back to Weiss, now getting angry. "Excuse me?!"
Port explains. "I've believed in Professor Ozpin for many years, and the man's never once led me astray!"
"The teachers certainly believe in Ozpin for some reason." Pyrrha mentions.
"It's to be expected." Weiss says. "Even among the other headmasters he is considered a prodigy. He has a wealth of experience and an amazing reputation of teaching the best Hunters in the world."
"So you would just blindly accept his decision even after seeing how exceptional I am?" Weiss has a clear tone of arrogance in her voice.
"With all due respect, your exceptional skill on the battlefield is matched only by your poor attitude." Port retorts.
"Burn!" Nora yells. "You just go burned!"
Weiss glares at Nora with an intensity rarely seen. However Nora just smiles happily and sets her eyes back to the screen.
"How dare you!" Weiss is seething now.
"My point exactly. I see a girl before me who has spent her entire life getting exactly what she wanted." Port says.
Weiss crosses her arms defiantly. "That's not even remotely true!" Port raises an eyebrow at this. "Well... not entirely true."
'Not the things that matter most.' Weiss thinks.
Scene changes back to Ozpin: "Being a team leader isn't just a title you carry into battle, but a badge you wear constantly. If you're not always performing at your absolute best, then what reason do you give others to follow you?"
Jaune feels bad at these words. 'Do I really deserve to be leader of JNPR, I always seem to let people down.'
Pyrrha notices Jaune's expression and puts her hand on his shoulder. "You've always made the right choice when it matters."
Jaune smiles at this, his confidence back.
Ruby looks thoughtful with Ozpin's words, then smiles at him.
Back to Port. "So the outcome did not fall in your favour. Do you really believe that acting in such a manner would cause those in power to reconsider their decision?" Weiss finally calms down and looks the teacher in the eyes "So instead of fretting about what you don't have, savour what you do. Hone your skills, perfect every technique, and be not the best leader, but the best person you can be."
"Do my ears deceive me!?" Nora acts shocked. "That was good advice. And from Port!."
"I told you." Weiss says. "You would be wise to not look down on his insight."
Weiss smiles a little at the words of wisdom.
Ozpin turns his back on Ruby, still talking to her "You've been burdened with a daunting responsibility, Ruby. I advise you take some time, to think about how you will uphold it."
Ruby, with a last look of consideration, turns and walks away. She comes to the balcony where Port is walking away from Weiss and smiles a little at her partner.
'I decided to do whatever I can to live up to and exceed my partners expectations.' Ruby recalls. 'This was a very big moment for me in strengthening my resolve to learn even outside the battlefield.'
The full moon shines over the green lights of Beacon, and in the room of Team RWBY, the door opens, and Weiss' shadow is seen against the hall's light. Blake is sleeping under the covers, Yang is spread out on her bed and snoring, and when Weiss lifts the blanket of Ruby's tent, she finds the occupant with her head resting on notes, a pencil in her hand, and open books all around her.
"It's always good to see how hard you try in your studies." Weiss says, causing Ruby to beam in joy.
"And surprising too." Yang mentions. "With the exception of weapon studies, I had never seen you study so much for a non-practical subject before Beacon."
"I decided as leader, I need to put in every effort." Ruby explains.
Weiss, looking amazed at Ruby's determination, clears her throat and gently shakes the other girl awake, who takes a second to regain consciousness and start flailing in surprise.
"Weiss!" Ruby tries to explain herself. "I-I was studying, and then I fell asleep. I'm sorry..."
Weiss places a hand over Ruby's mouth and puts a finger to her own so Ruby understands the need for lowering her voice. Weiss looks near Ruby's pillow and spots an empty Beacon coffee mug.
"I still don't understand why you use coffee mugs for milk." Blake comments.
"It tastes better." Ruby replies. This isn't the first time they've asked, and they never seem to believe her.
"How do you take your coffee?" Weiss lowers her hand from Ruby's face.
Ruby stutters. "I... I don't..."
"Answer the question!" Weiss interrupts, getting irritated.
"Uhh, cream and five sugars." Ruby gives a hasty reply.
"It's practically cream and sugar, with a small amount of coffee added." Weiss says.
Weiss sighs. "Don't move." She ducks under to her own bed and comes up a moment later with a fresh cup, offering it to Ruby "Here."
"Um... Thanks, Weiss." Ruby is slightly surprised by Weiss's change in temperament.
Weiss smiles, then looks apologetic. "Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader." Ruby smiles appreciatively at this.
'I always know Weiss was a nice person deep down.' Ruby thinks. 'I think this was the first time I really met her.'
Weiss continues "Just know that I am going to be the best teammate you'll ever have!" They share a smile. "Good luck studying!" She ducks under the bed.
Weiss then suddenly pops back up only to point at one of Ruby's papers. "That's wrong, by the way." She ducks under again, and her voice comes from the doorway this time. "Hey, Ruby?"
"Uh-huh?" Ruby responds.
Weiss is standing at the door with her hand on the knob. "I always wanted bunk beds as a kid." She closes the door.
"Why didn't you have them?" Blake asks. "It's not as if cost was a problem."
"There was no point." Weiss explains. "I didn't have anyone my age to share it with and my father wouldn't let me have friends around without introducing their 'rich and influential parents'." 'Not that I had any real friends' "And most importantly it's considered improper for a young lady to use buck beds."
Ruby, grinning at the progress with her friend, goes back to her notes as scene fades to black and the video ends.
"That was nice." Yang comments. "But I think we can go straight to the next video."
"On it!" Nora salutes before using the remote.
A/N
This took some time. I apologise.
Remember, if I am on an unannounced hiatus for over a month then It means that I want someone else to take over.
I would very much appreciate it if people could tell me what they expect in the future and what kind of things they don't want to see. While I have final say in what gets written I will listen to a well-argued point.
