POV Maria Alph

"I gotta say Beacon seems a lot easier than Grimm." I say turning to Roz as we exit - what might be considered - a good sparring class at Beacon. In reality it was a one sided fight. Roz decided to represent Grimm Academy as an unstoppable force causing the entirety of Beacon to attack her. The teacher was of the mind that a hybrid would be as mindless as a Grimm, but Roz changed that fast when she took to the sky using her superior maneuverability to pick off students swiftly with her spear.

"Well you have to consider we were taking third year classes in order to prepare for this and that aside our teachers are old." Roz exaggerates her otherwise valid point that our instructors predate Professor Arc.

"So ladies of Grimm how's it going? I'm beginning to feel like we may be above average at this place." Trey says as he slings an arm over each of our shoulders.

"Not the only one friend, but then again that was the Angel of death dancing in there." I feel Trey back off as Malachai approaches with his usual cocky stride. "So since we all are here, anybody hear when the other schools would show? Apparently we came early." It has been two weeks since our arrival and I can't agree more. Nobody else was even reported to come yet.

As if our minds had caused something in the universe to respond the hallway speaker goes off. "Atlas is beginning to approach, would all of Grimm and those scheduled to represent Beacon please head to the front gate."

"Welp, that answers that I guess." I sigh wondering how this run in with my mother will go.

As we enter the front hall I immediately notice a still frozen team OCLT. "Why are they still there, shouldn't somebody free them?" I ask but quickly get my answer seeing Roz flick her spear back into its compact form of a pen. "Oh that explains it." Now that I'm paying attention, they are frozen in new positions.

Roz has the nerve to look annoyed. "Well I'm sorry if during our last Grimm studies class they tried to make me appear like a test subject so I waited to remind them what is a given with Grimm genetics." The evil look of vengeance she gives me at this just overloads my senses.

"You know only you truly have Grimm genetics right. We all are some other weirdness." I say still trying not to fall completely for her twisted ways, but the look she gives me of joy and sadistic pleasure is too much. I break under her adorable assault and sigh. "We really are creatures of darkness huh?"

"Well duh, it's not like that's what this sad world preaches or anything. I figure let's give them a reason to believe it."

"Why do I feel your red mom preached you that?" I ask looking at my partner as she begins to compose herself.

"Actually it was my white mom. She believes that we have to uphold an appearance but if they are too stupid to accept we still have light in us we may as well unleash the darkness upon them."

"Spoken like a true mindless beast I see." A sparkling white girl approaches, her entire ensemble being a white skirt and shirt covered by a white duster bedazzled in diamonds. Her voice is filled with arrogance and superiority.

"How is that mindless if it's rational?" Roz says agitation edging into her voice, however she keeps her Grimm restrained and not active.

"Easy because no beast can restrain their natures just like those…" She gets quickly interrupted by a sword inches from her, another pointed at Roz. Looking up at Alizarin I can tell it's just a formality.

"Hey Al, nice timing." I sigh relieved that this didn't become a battle that Roz would have to explain.

"Ladies. I assume you know that racism is not tolerated, and secondly these are guests from Grimm academy, Ms. Schnee so please, leave before I have to detain you."

Roz looks offended at Alizarin's words "I didn't do anything though." The confused and severely pissed off face of the other girl is so raw I can't help but laugh

"Sorry Roz, meant this other girl here she is a part of an envoy from Atlas and they are all Schnees." The sad look of disappointment on Al's face is only bested by the Schnee's still intensifying look of fury.

"Umm lady you might want to get that checked out you look like you are about to be stuck with that look permanently." I chuckle slightly as she turns her look from Roz to me.

"There is no way in all of Remnant that there is Schnee blood in a beast especially one as violent as her." With that the girl turns on her heel and stomps off, followed by a snort from Al, and him sheathing his weapon.

"My god this whole security job is stressing me out." He says just loud enough that only Roz and I hear. His face quickly changes back to a smile, "So, before I get any more stressed, the dance is being planned by Sapphire and Primrose. You two have any plans for it?"

"Ummm what?" The confused look on Roz is very weird after the evil it was just moments ago exposing.

"This is the first we heard of it so no how long until it happens?"

"Usually by the end of the week. Oh, and Roz, care to explain why OCLT is refrozen over there."

"Well… Ya see… They started it." Her innocent act fails miserably at being convincing.

"You know the look of an innocent child does not suit you one bit, you are just too wicked for it to be convincing. Let alone the stories I've been hearing of you versus an entire class." Al sighs and puts a hand to his head. "Before I get a headache or nightmares I'm gonna head out later girls. Looks like I am going to have to look at the security tapes…"

As he walks away, I look over to Roz. Her cheeks are a little pink and I can't help but smile. I definitely have plans for the dance.
