Tips for surviving in Beacon Academy;
Hate Faunus all you want; just remember that they are half-animal, and their stats scale accordingly.
Tease Velvet Scarlatina all you want; just remember that her teammates get stat bonuses as they become enraged. Collectively, that puts their power level somewhere you can never hope to reach in however many seconds you have left to live.
Make an effort to Keep your physical endurance up. It will help you not die when you take a ride on the wrong means of transport in the school, for example; the catapults at the edge of the cliff, a Grimm, Nora Valkyrie.
Don't ride Pyrrha Nikos either; you need to be tall, and blonde with blue eyes to get on that attraction.
Eat cookies on Academy grounds at your own risk; if Ruby doesn't find them, her sister will get you.
A transforming weapon is dumb; a transforming weapon that gives you no tactical advantage is dumber.
Play any prank you want, just do not mess with the coffee; coffee is the only thing keeping some people alive.
It's perfectly alright to sleep during Professor Port's lectures, but never be bored; the professor is only permitted to give lectures and he needs no incentive to break that rule. Again.
There is an honest-to-God pancake syndicate being run in Beacon Academy. Basically, the only person you could get pancakes from is Lie Ren. You place an order with him, and in the morning you go down to collect your ration in exchange for a donation. This is necessary as Nora Valkyrie pays a visit to anyone who has pancakes in his, or her possession. Furthermore, no one can prove what exactly happened to the last person Nora visited.
