Third POV

It was quite a peaceful day in Beacon. The sun was just about to rise as the shimmering light of dawn illuminated the castle-like features of the academy. The students are sound asleep, both old and new feeling well rested as they just dipped into endless peaceful bliss. One of these rooms, room 357, lays one of our protagonists.

Sutekina stirred in her sleep, releasing a delightful moan as she finally woke up from her slumber. Dressed in her sleeping wear as she rises up from the bed sheets. She stretches her arms as he feels a few bones pop, and the tension eases from her body.

"Can't wait to start the day," Sutekina said happily before she immediately wrenches. She quickly covers her nose as she looks at the source of the horrible stench, before seeing their window was opened and she saw Aleister sitting on it. With his cigarette on hand.

"Morning" Sutekina said in a not so cheery mood thanks to the stench of the Cigar in his hands. There are some downsides to being a Faunus and enhanced smell is one of them, their noses are twice as sensitive than humans meaning that anything that is toxic, which in this case smoking, are twice as horrible than human sense of smell. She groaned as she saw Aleister just take a puff and blow a small cancer cloud.

"Hey." He simply said, getting her irk. "You're up early." Aleister said as he turned his gaze to the Faunus.

"I should say the same thing for you." Sutekina said " Didn't Miss Goodwitch take those away?" She pointed at his lit cancer stick as she remembered Glynda had searched Aleister for any more stick of cigarette and even confiscated his flask. Aleister just released a small smirk at her statement.

"She didn't check my boots." Aleister stated as he remembers the hidden area on the heel of his boots where he keeps his stash. "Take a picture, it will last longer" Aleister jokes , making the cat Faunus roll her eyes.

"Sorry, you're not my type" Sutekina said, but was smiling. Though, she did have to admit that Aleister does have a good figure and have a rogue-ish look, but he wasn't for her. She likes the more quirky, confident yet shy type of guys.

"I didn't take you as an early bird, Aleister. I thought that you would be sleeping or at least got a hangover" Sutekina said, with a slight smirk, getting the redhead to scoff.

"It's a common thing for me, despite the fact that I drank." Aleister stated "I got up an hour ago and decided to get a drink and maybe read a bit. But then remember that the blonde woman that is into bondage and BDSM took it. So I settled the next best thing" Aleister throws the cancer stick away and releasing one last puff. While Sutekina blush a bit at the jab at Glynda.

"You?"

Sutekina just shrugs, "I usually am a morning person. Back at home I was always the first one to wake up before the sun was up. It's either I was practicing my semblance, training, or saw the sunrise" Sutekina said, remembering the beautiful Vacuo sunrise and sunsets. The beautiful mix of colors gave a relaxing vibe to her and it never really got old. Aleister just nod before both of them heard a noise.

"Well look like I'm not the only one who is up," Nao said, getting the two's attention as he smiled at them. "Morning you guys" He greeted.

"Good morning Nao" Sutekina greeted back while Aleister gave him a lazy salute. Soon they hear the door of their dorm opened and it is revealed to be Cole. He looks up and saw everyone was up, before closing the door.

"Aren't we all early birds." He stated as he gave a nod to the red head, who gave it back. Sutekina just looked at him before saying "Where have you been?"

"Just went outside to gather some sand," Cole held his gourd. After the entire initiation, He has almost used up all of the sand that he had in his gourd. He was about to take some more but he was extremely exhausted and hungry so he didn't get the chance. He ran into Aleister who was surprisingly up hours earlier before leaving.

Sutekina hummed as she looked at her scroll and saw it was five-fifteen in the morning. They are all awake and they still have hours to get to class. She then turned and looked at the room and saw that their luggages was still unpacked and they had to eat breakfast. That is, if they find the cafeteria, the place is huge and wpould easily get lost in it. So without wasting time she clapped her hands, getting the attention of the others.

"So classes won't be able to start in a few hours and we still haven't unpacked our luggages. We should use the time to get ready and eat." Sutekina said, getting nods from Nao and Cole, while Aleister just shrugs and closes the windows.

Soon they started to get right to unpacking their stuff and equipment. Sutekina was the first one to unpacked her luggage which consisted of three, one held her clothes, a bit of makeup, drawing materials and even ink for calligraphy. The other held her tools, parts and blueprints for both Icarus and Artemis Touch and even held some dust compartments.

"Is that a guitar?" Nao asked as he placed his clothing in the closet. Sutekina nodded as she picked up her guitar casing, which was containing her acoustic guitar. "One of my hobbies are music and sometimes songwriting, but the latter isn't going well so I just stuck with some songs that I really like." She said as she placed down a photo of her and her family, and got a nod from Nao. Nao then take out his large briefcase, placing it on the table and opening it. Soon the briefcase started to form into a makeshift workbench, filled with testing kits, tools and even blueprints. He grabs several books, that are mainly cook books and weapon schematics (Which he got from Ruby), before placing them next to the workbench.

"You cook?" Aleister questioned him making the mismatched eye boy chuckled sheepishly. "Yeah, when I was staying with Yang and Ruby's place, I became the cook of the house after making some meals for them" He said as he carefully leaving out the part where he almost burned the residents down.

Aleister just hummed as he continued the rest of his things before moving on. Next was Cole, who gingerly placed his luggage which just contained the necessities that he needed. His clothes, dust, his equipment, weapons gear and his gourd. He didn't have much stuff to pack when he was exiled which is a combination of his haste and the blindworm had destroyed most of it. Though he did have some memoirs, such as his mother's bracelet from him and his brother, his fathers wisdom and his brother's love.

Coal sighs as he still feels a bit numb when he last met Andy. He knew it hurt him more than Coal did. Exiling out your own brother, because he is only trying to see the betterment of the village through the modern age. Coal never once hated or disliked his brother for being protective for his loved ones. But dammit he knew that the village is going to be forgotten and worse destroyed while the world pushes through. He can only hope that he will be able to help them soon.

And Aleister was the last, as he had the most simplistic luggage in his entire team. He only has a large duffle bag that fits all his belongings in. So he empty it out, and place the clothing in the closet. His back-up lighter and cigarettes, back-up flask in his drawer, a pair of headsets, his five series book collection on the table, and even a very rare version of the "Ninjas of Love" series: Ninjas of Love: The Passion of the Darkness.

His a healthy male teenager/young adult, sue him.

He then pulled out a small briefcase out of the duffle bag and two simple wet stones. He opened the case up revealing his pistol gear. Complete with extra parts, ammunition build kit, tools, some grease, and premade bullet tips. It even has vials of dust powder and several empty shells. He hummed as he placed his blades on the table before proceeding to do his thing.

Soon the team has spent an hour unpacking, cleaning and reorganizing since the room is so cramped inside. The team then gaze in their work, nodding in accomplishment.

"Much better" Sutekina said, getting others to nod "yeah, it seems a bit cramp at first but a little moving and it feels really spacious." Nao said as he look at the beds, all of which are next to the walls, with their respective desks next to them.

"Mine if I go first?" Sutekina asked for a nod from her team and went into the shower.


A hour later

It was seven-twelve in the morning as Team HAZE are now strolling around the halls with their uniforms on as well. Sutekina was wearing her uniform with her hair as a pointy tail and without the coat. Nao was next as he replaced the traditional coat with his white coat and without the vest. Aleister had ditch the coat, vest and tie, and have his sleeves rolled up to his forearms and the left one button out showing his necklace is visible. Coal was the most complete uniform than the rest as he just had his gloves and gourd with him.

"C'mon guys, the cafeteria should be this way." Sutekina said as she started to pick up speed as she held the school map that she got from the registrant yesterday.

She felt sorry for the poor saps who are going to get lost at the school because they didn't have it. That and that they find out the clock were several hours late than the current time, so they would think that Though her thought went immediately to her team. She still couldn't believe that she was a leader of her own team. Admittedly, she never really thought that she is leader material. She preferably be in the more supportive roles in life, but for her to have a team and she was the leader...she needs to step up her game.

She remembers her family's reaction when they heard the news that she was captain of her own team.

Flashback

"Hey mom, hey dad." Sutekina said as she was holding her scroll. She was sitting on her bed as her other teammates

"Hey dear, so how did the initiation go?" Johnny greeted his daughter through the scroll.

"did you pass? Or you ok?" Eline said in a worried tone, making the cat Faunus giggled. Her mother is usually protective of them, but trust them enough to take care of themselves.

"Yeah, mom I'm alright. Also I passed the initiation." Sutekina smiled.

"That terrific! I'm so happy for you Sute!" Eline congratulate her daughter

"good job" Sutekina heard Jacob's voice through the voice, making her smile even more.

"Thank Jac-ey" Sutekina said "Thanks again guys. But I got something to tell you"

"What is it?" Jacob ask as he sat down next to the couch

"Well, I did more than pass, I actually become the leader of the team" with that Sutekina had to make some distance from her scroll as she heard the sounds of her family's pride

"that fantastic!"

"You better not be kidding on this Sute, this is amazing!'

"I'm proud of you that you named team leader of yourr group, Sute. I know That you will make into great leader" Johnny said, gaining a smile at the neko Faunus.

"i know dad. But I really don't know if I can do this." Sutekina admitted as she doubt her own capabilities to her role.

"Listen to me here Sute..." Johnny said

Flashback end

After some encouragement from her dad and her family, Sutekina would do her best to be the best leader that she could be


Cafeteria

Team HAZE finally found the cafeteria. It took about 20 minutes to find it and luckily it was opened and they grabbed their food. There were a few students are up (both old and new) as Sutekina saw most were in their sleeping wear. She then walked over to her team as she saw them already eating.

"Do you guys know what classes are you guys In?" sutekina sat down next to Coal. "My first class is history and literature" Coal said "same" Aleister said

"hmm...Dust Assessment" Nao said, getting Sutekina to nod as she ate her bacon " hmm seems like we have a few classes during a few weeks and that Friday is always PE." Sutekina said as they continued eating.

"Hey Aleister." Coal said getting the attention of the red head "what is it?" Aleister asks, not taking away his gaze from his breakfast.

"What happened to the chain and shurikens you got?" Coal asks as the others remember the weapons he obtained from the forest.

"Back in the dorm on my desk. Along with my other weapons, though to be honest those weren't mine"

"what do you mean?"

"I found them in the pit where me and Pinky found the Grimm that we fought. We both knew that we can't fight it and it was about to eat her, but I saved her by throwing it." Aleister told them briefly

"So the chain and shurikens are not yours?" Sutekina said

"Nah, The swords and pistols are the only one that I owned. I'm a close to mid range fighter." He admitted. Though Aleister silently admits that he did steal the pistols a few years back.

It was one of his first run-ins with the White Fang when they were smuggling weapons back in their base, where he got his, which were in one of the crates in the storage areas. He didn't have firearms and only had his blades to do the job, sticking in the shadows for most of the time and the fact that he didn't have any money to buy some, since his aura-piercing blades are already expensive in the black market.

Yep, that's right folks. Aura-piercing blades, which are illegal to get in Remnant and are very hard to come by, but he managed to get two which were a huge chunk out of his wallet.

Back at the other just nodded and Coal looked at him.

"and the shurikens and chain?" Coal asked.

"Keep it. Train with the shuriken and keep the chain in my bike bag. I ride a motorcycle" Aleister shrugs as he sees the looks that he gets when he means by 'bike'.

"You're not going to combine them? Since so far you only use individual weapons each time." Sutekina questioned.

"I never really see the point of having a hybrid weapon, honestly. I don't really like it as I find the weapons to be too bulky and flashy" Aleister admitted. He saw the other students weapons and unlike them, he prefers to keep his simple and low-profile. Having two weapons at the price of one is great and all, but honestly it just seems a bit too much and a bit too bulky for his taste. And on the plus side, having a simple weapon like a knife or gun can also be concealed if needed and no one else can see it.

Soon they started talking about their skills, weapons and semblances. Sutekina taking some notes as she finds the conclusion.

"Hmmm. seems like I have a full team." Sutekina thought " Nao was basically the tank in the team. Being a lot more durable than he lets on and the fact that his semblance is amazing. Allowing to take and enhance his strength and speed, while taking the properties of the dust that he is using, almost rendering them useless as he uses it. Jeez I really don't want to be at the end of his punches. Especially when he is using Rhitta. Who knew that that axe weighs about Four-hundred and fifty pound, not to mention that it held a large quantity of dust too." She shivered at the thought of facing him, before looking at Coal.

"Coal is probably a mixture of both frontline assault to mid-range fighter. His spear allows him to have some distance from the target, allowing him to have enough time to place some well known attacks and defense to them. He could be a marksman too, considering that his spear is also a crossbow, making it perfect for us to make some tactics. His shotgun didn't have much of a range shot but it's useful none of the less when he decided to switch it up a bit." Sutekina thought as she remembers seeing how Coal uses his spear against the grimm from the forest yesterday "His semblance is unique of it's own right too. able to manipulate sand through any form, but the downside that he can only use a pound of it and have to refill when it get wet. That and its also a known factor that most evironments don't have sand in them. better look out for that"

Then she shifted her glance to her partner making her a bit mift of his lack of explanation but she got the gist of it

"And lastly Aleister. He was by far the most direct person to approach a fight, than any one of us. Preferring to be more of a frontliner most of the time and mid-range shooter thanks to his pistols, which are high caliber." She thought as she tries to remembers as much of her partners style back in the forest "His fighting style is nothing but direct offense with his blades and his fists. While I can see SOME form of martial arts, but its most likely mix and modified to suit him. Not to mention that his daggers/short swords combination are pretty good with his semblance - which he named 'Abyss walk' allows him to teleport almost any direction in twenty meters. Perfect for stealth if he is good with it" Sutekina finishes

Overall Sutekina can say that her team, if trained and work well, then they would be the most efficient team in the school. She will make sure of it.


"Monsters! Demon! Creatures of the night" a theatrical voice rang through the classroom as a man wearing a crimson button shirt with gold trimming, dark brown pants with boots, and a very puffy gray mustache that matched his hair that are combed on each side. This man is Peter Port. The professor of the class is studying Grimm.

"These are the creatures of Grimm. The very creatures that are filled with nothing but hatred and are vile and vicious creatures. But to me, I prefer them as prey!" Port dramatically laughs drawing even more dumbfounded looks. While Sutekina giggled.

To Sutekina, the man was amusing if you asked her honest opinion. The man may be a bit over dramatic but at least he showed good spirit in the class. Though she wished that didn't want to be with the Schnee, who was sitting three rows below her seat.

The cat Faunus can softly chuckle as Port kept trying to get the class lifted, only to be drawn only one person, which just added to further her amusement. She then saw Port try to hit on Yang making her gag.

"Ew. I wonder how his wife is going to react when she find this" Sutekina thought and continue to listen. But she then notices Weiss and Ruby and saw that Weiss is getting irritated by the young rose by the passing minute. She hummed as tries to draw a small blind worm and quietly used her semblance. She smiled as she remembered the first time she had found out what it does.

Flashback

"Mom, dad come here quick!" Jacob called out as a loud racket and sound of crashing, broken furniture, some vase, and a laughter came in the room.

"What is going in there" Eline said as she and Johnny went into the room. Once they opened the door they were immediately greeted by a sigh that make their jaws drop.

There was sutekina screaming in uter excitement as she riding a...something that they even describe. It has a shape of a horse, but everything is wobbely and un balance, it look like it has snake tail, and finaly it had two goat like horns. Sutekina was riding it as she scream in enjoyment and happiness.

"mom, dad look!"

"Johnny" Jacob...Please explain what happened

Flashback ends

Sutekina giggled at the memory as she remembered taking art lessons after the mishap. Making sure that she could use it in situations that she could. Though it is a bit time consuming though, she is working her way up.

So as the class went on, Port started to drift away from the lesson to his time as a huntsman when he was young. And to say, he was quickly losing the attention of the students. Sutekina finds herself nearly falling asleep thanks to it, but manages to hold on. But during the class, she notices Weiss is getting more and more irritated by the second by Ruby's shenanigans as Ports classes went on. She can only shake her head and wonder when the Schnee would explode.

"So, who here can prove to me that they are capable of being a huntsman?" Port ask

"I am professor!" Weiss answered

Sutekina can only 'hmp' as she witnessed a few minutes later that the Schnee is facing aagainst a Boarbatusk. Ruby is giving instructions and cheering her on as she was facing the Grimm. But she could clearly see that the Schnee is getting irritated by her by the second as she continues to struggle with the Grimm.

She saw Weiss dodges another roll strike, as she saw Weiss summons several pillars of ice shards from the ground, trying to trap it. But the boar jumps out of the way and charges head on. Weiss rolls out of the way and charges in with Myrtenaster, as her sword was charge up with lightning dust. The blade made contact producing electricity to the boar Grimm, as it squeels in pain as it felt it's nerves being paralyzed. Weiss then thrust the tip between the gap of the bone plates.

"Rookie mistake" Sutekina thought as she saw the Schnee just riled up the Grimm. She wouldn't say this out loud though, but the Schnee have some skill, she'll give her that. But She can tell that without any back up weapon on her she is a sitting duck. The Boarbatusk squealed and rolled into a ball and begin to spin, launching Myrtenaster away. Weiss narrowly dodges the impact and ran to her weapon, but the Boarbatusk wasn't having it as it charges in an incredible speed to the Schnee, impacting on her back and launching her passed her weapon.

"WEISS!" Ruby yelled in worried as she and the other student wonder if Weiss is ok. Sutekina look at her professor, but saw him not doing anything, but the worry is on his face for his students safety.

"So he still believe that the Schnee can still win this." Sutekina thought as she and the other and saw that Weiss groan as she went back up on her feet. She face the boar, who was about to attack once more and then spotted her rapier between her and the Grimm. So without thinking she immediately dashed forward as did the Grimm. The student leaned into their seats, as did Sutekina, wondering how would Weiss get out of this. When the two enemies were a few feet apart, the Grimm then aimed to her torso and in the last minute, Weiss immediately slides in and grabs her sword, before facing to the grimm.

"Weiss, the belly is the soft spot aim there!" Ruby informed her and that was the last straw for the Schnee.

"JUST SHUT UP AND STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!" Weiss yelled shocking the whole class in silent, as well as Sutekina. She had expected her to blow up, but not this loud and violent. Ruby stared at shock on her partner's outburst, not finding the words to come out of her mouth as she looks at her. Weiss then heard a Squeal and quickly dodges the Grimm and quickly using her dust, she quickly created a pillar of ice and knocking the Bourbastusk from its attack. Weiss then follows up with her gravity Glype catching the boar Grimm and finally finishing it off with a stab on the heart through the underbelly.

"Well done miss Schnee! You truly possess the spirit and capabilities a great huntress someday" Port cheered as the students started to clap. But that didn't matter to Weiss as she stormed off from the classroom and Ruby following shortly after her partner. Sutekina hmm as she went after them, hoping that the Schnee wouldn't do something that she would regret.


"Weiss, wait up!" Ruby yelled at her partner, making her stop and face the girl with a look of annoyance.

"what do you want" Weiss snarkingly said as she look at the cloak clad girl.

"What was that back there. In class, why did you shouted?" Ruby said, gaining Weiss to look at her in a slight incredulous way. "what's wrong with yo-"

"It's you!" Weiss snapped getting Ruby to step back at shock and surprise and her facial expression said; why. "You are suppose to be a leader, Ruby! But all you have been so far is nothing but a nuisance."

"What did I do?" Ruby ask as she felt hurt and offended by the Schnee

"That's just it! You have earn NOTHING to get the position that your on! You acted like this is just some silly game and that you have not shown any signs of leadership to even enforce yourself as a leader!" Weiss said to Ruby "If fact your still acting the same way that you are back in the forest! Hyperactive, immature, and just a complete goof!" Weiss shouted, not knowing that both she and Ruby have an audiance watching them.

'Weiss I-" Ruby was about to say, but the Schnee cuts her off

"Don't even start. Unlike you, Ruby, I learn and trained to be at Beacon. And frankly I deserve better!" Weiss turned around with her hand folded "Ozpin made a mistake on choosing you to be the leader of the team" with that she walk off, leaving a questioning and disheartened Ruby.

In a few pillars away from them, Sutekina saw the whole event. And to say she was not please with the Schnee's evaluation on Ruby. She hummed as she was about to comfort Ruby and maybe show Weiss a bit of her own medicine. But she then stops as she saw Ozpin approaches Ruby and the pinkette decided to go after Weiss, since she knew that Ozpin would be able to help Ruby get out of her funk.

It didn't take long for Sutekina to find the Schnee thanks to her nose. She found her talking to Professor port about her interaction with the Grimm and statement that she would be a better leader than Ruby. Sutekina had held down a scoff at that.

"ass kisser.." She thought

Though it seems that the veteran Huntsman disagreed with the heiress claim and told her what she needs to hear.

She watches Port went off, leaving Weiss alone with her thoughts, before Sutekina make herself known to the Schnee. Weiss turned around as she scrunch her face on seeing the Faunus.

"What do you want?" Weiss demanded.

"Well, after seeing your whole blow up in class and on Ruby on the hallway, I figured you need a reality check." Sutekina chimed " But it seems that Professor Port had done some of the work, it makes things a bit easier"

"Can you get to the point your going at?" Weiss didn't have enough time, Sutekina just huff before looking directly at her.

"Professor Port is right." Sutekina said " Your not cut out to be leader." This got an outrage look from the Schnee and was to blow up but Sutekina stop her by raising her hand and pulled out a pencil

"Let me show you." Sutekina started drawing on he ground, getting Weiss to raised an eyebrow. Once she was done she uses her semblance to make it alice. Weiss saw two pictures, the first were several people pulling a large slab of stone and a man sitting on top of it pointing a finger at a direction. The second was the same design but the man was now helping the others pulling the stone.

"What do you see?" Sutekina ask

"what? I don't-" Weiss was cut off by a look from the cat Faunus, making her sigh and look at the pictures. " What I see is that the first picture is just someone pointing and shouting like some tyrent, unlike the second is helping them out" She answered.

"That's right. The first pic is a boss: just instructing his team and not bothering helping, while the second is a leader: willing to help his teammates to victory." Sutekina said

"And what does this have to do with anything?" Weiss said in a annoyed tone making the cat Faunus roll her eyes

"That the fact that even if you are appointed leader, you will be acting as more of a boss than a leader. A really bad one with an attitude." Weiss glared at her making her "What I'm saying is that do you really think that you keep on complaining and demanding would get you anywhere? That it would change their mind about you being a good leader? Ozpin didn't make a mistake about Ruby being your team leader because she is the only one, giving the fact that your a brat, her sister from what I learned is hotheaded, and Blake didn't want anything to do with the position." Sutekina said

'And how would you know that?" Weiss snark

"Because I have a brother that have to work his butt off to get his position. He is a leader of his own group but he didn't get until he knows what it mean to be one. Being a leader is more than just qualifications and status, Schnee. It's about trust, humility, and over all understanding. You want to have the position because you think that your are qualified to do so, but in reality is that your not. Ozpin is not only the headmaster, but also a huntsman in his youth, and he saw something in Ruby that made him gave her leadership." Sutekina said not breaking contact to the Schnee "So acting like a spoiled brat just further cemented the fact that you can't be one because that attitude of yours. To what Port said, he just saw a spoiled girl that have everything handed to her on a silver platter"

"That's not always the case..." Weiss scowled

"Right now it is, and it's not only a fact that you just blow up earlier from support, but Ruby is in no better position than you are right now." Sutekina said "She has to make up for two years worth of schooling just to catch up and with the weight of being you're teams leader makes it even more difficult for her." Sutekina said as she had get to know the young girl for quite a bit thanks to their classes and that she heard that Nao earlier in the day. "And yet you still have the nerve to say that she isn't taking this seriously? It's just been one day, you didn't know her well enough to make the decision." Sutekina said as she gave a hard look to the heiress.

They stared off to each other before Sutekina opened her mouth.

"We're all struggling in some point in our lives Schnee. Some more than others." With that she turn her back from her and head to the door.

"If you can't be a good team player and that you can't accept the hard truth and that attitude of yours...Then you'll not be any better than your own father." Sutekina said getting Weiss to snapped out of her anger and look at her in disbelief as realization started to dawn upon her. Sutekina didn't think twice before leaving the rooftop and leaving a speechless Schnee there with her thoughts.


With Weiss

It took Weiss a good amount of time getting to her teams dorm. After the discussion with Sutekina, she was in her thoughts for a while now. She went to Beacon to get AWAY from her father. No body knew this, but with having a father like hers and her siblings; A business man and nothing more. They never knew how difficult it is for her and how much of a control freak her father is.

Treating her and her sebling like they were just animals and nothing more. It made her sick. It's such a far cry from what it was back then. The Schnee name is now tarnish by that man she called a father. And the last thing that she wanted was to be like him. Weiss then opened the dorm and saw YAng and Blake are asleep, she hummed but stopped when she saw Riby sleeping and she had her lamp on. The heiress went in closer to the bed and her eyes widened by the amount of textbooks littered throughout the bed. Then Sutekina's words ring through her mind.

"Ruby is in no better position than you are right now. She has to make up for two years worth of schooling just to catch up and with the weight of being you're teams leader makes it even more difficult for her"

Weiss then look towards her partner then back at the textbooks. Guilt and shame started to creep in to her chest as her mind went back to the conversation.

" do you really think that you keep on complaining and demanding would get you anywhere?..."

"That it would change their mind...To what Port said, he just saw a spoiled girl that have everything handed to her on a silver platter..."

"It's just been one day, you didn't know her well enough to make the decision."

Have she been so wrong? So judgmental?

"If you can't be a good team player and that you can't accept the hard truth and that attitude of yours...Then you'll not be any better than your own father."

Weiss can only look down in shame as the final memory flash on her mind. She was...wrong. She was so wrong on her on evaluation on her partner. She wanted to get away from her father, she wanted to get away from him and that she wanted to reclaim the Schnee name and that redeem it. But she never thought of her attitude would be similar to him. It made her sick.

Weiss then look at Ruby and felt that- No, she knows that she owe her an apology. Carefully she reaches up to the shoulder and gently wake her up.

"Hmm.." Ruby groggily wake up as she rubs her eyes. Then they widened as they saw Weiss.

"Weiss! I-I-I ahhh..." Ruby sputtered as she was stopped by Weiss's hand.

"How do you like your coffee" weiss ask getting a confused look at the scythe-wielding girl

"Uhhh cream and five sugars." Ruby said as Weiss just sigh and roll her eyes, but held no real malice in them before heading off the bed and make some coffee. Weiss came back with a fresh cup of coffee and handed it to Ruby, who just looks confused as she looks at Weiss.

"I...I just wanted to say I'm...sorry" Ruby look at her shock on what she was hearing

"What?" Ruby breaths out. Not believing on Weiss is apologizing to her

"I shouldn't have Yelled back in the classroom, you were just helping me and giving me some support and I acted out of line. I took some time to think and I shouldn't have done what I did and the things about you being childish and incompetent, and realizing that I have been acting like one as well. I'm sorry that I said those things earlier about you being a problem and it's mostly me for letting my own emotions getting the best of me" Weiss admitted gaining and even more shock expression from her partner

"Weiss..." Ruby muttered before Weiss began to continue

"I'll just have you know that you will make a great leader, Ruby. And that I know that you would lead this team with good intentions" Weiss finish and went down from the bed. Before popping up again and looking at one of the textbooks. "Also in page 45 would using the same formula on getting in page 56 to make things easier" She added getting Ruby to nod as a soft smile gaze upon her lips.

"Hey Weiss." Weiss turned around "Thank you. And I forgive you...Unless you give a plate of cookies." weiss release a soft, yet small smile as she entered bathroom.


AND CUT! That's a wrap everyone and I hope you guys like it and did not get bored on reading it. Also by the way, I want you guys to leave a review or criticism in the comments below and tell me what you guys think of each chapter so far. I am open to all criticism whether they're good or bad it doesn't matter, as long as they are respectful, honest, and not down right offensive. It's ok to have some critique to know how the story is doing and how it can help me improve in future chapters.

Well that all for the chapter guys, and I would see you guys later.
