Here's chapter 54, everyone.


"See." Weiss proudly smirked at the blonde. "I told you I would be much faster than you three, and all it took was a simple race."

Yang groaned, hating that Weiss managed to beat all three of them in their race. She actually placed last herself, with Ruby being second, and her own partner, who she felt wasn't taking it as serious beat her by a few seconds. "Yeah, yeah. Rub it in, ice wolf, but I'll find something I can beat you in when you're a wolf."

"Uh huh. Sure you will, Xiao Long." Weiss kept her smirk up, but yelped when Ruby hugged her suddenly. "Ruby Rose! Don't just hug someone like that! You startled me, you dolt!"

Ruby simply giggled as she held on. "I'm just giving my new girlfriend a celebratory hug is all."

The white wolf blushed, since that was the first time Ruby referred to her as her girlfriend. Yang quickly took note of that and was now the one smirking. "Is the ice wolf of Beacon not able to handle being called girlfriend by… Well, her new girlfriend?"

"B-Be quiet!" Weiss exclaimed, looking away from the blonde who snickered in response, while Ruby gently cuddled her cheek against Weiss', not caring how embarrassing it may look. "Y-You're way too cuddly, you dork."

"Mhmm." Ruby cutely responded, while Yang pretended to gag.

"Gross, my sister is being all lovey dovey with her new girlfriend. Blake, please save me from this torture." Yang's mocked tone was noted, and Blake rolled her eyes.

"Leave them alone." Blake grabbed Yang's ear, making the blonde gasp in a bit of pain as she began pulling her away. All that was heard from her was pained yells to let go, but Blake knew Yang wasn't actually in pain and was simply whining.

Ruby pulled away from the embrace and poked Weiss on her snout, earning a groan from the white wolf. "Hehe. Sorry, couldn't resist."

"Dork." Weiss said, earning another chuckle from her girlfriend. "We should start heading back now. I don't think we're in any trouble for that race, but I'd rather not take any risks with Yang suggesting we do another one."

"Aww, come on. You know it was fun." Ruby remarked as she and Weiss went to go catch up with Blake and Yang. "And besides, you'd just win again and Yang will be even more defeated."

"Not the point, dolt. I don't want us getting into trouble." Weiss reminded. "Unlike you and your sister, I am not one for wanting their permanent record being tarnished."

Ruby snorted. "Permanent record? Heh, come on, Wolfy. It's not that serious."

"Ugh, you're too much of a hassle sometimes, even for me." The white wolf noted.

Once they got over to Blake and Yang, the white rose pair noticed the blonde brawler was rubbing her ear. "You so did not need to pull on my ear like that."

"I think making sure you don't tease your sister and Weiss takes precedence over your ear pain." Blake retorted, and Yang stuck her tongue out at her. "I'm not feeling bad for it."

"Now that one hurts," Yang leaned in to whisper. "Shadowcat."

Blake's ears perked up and she pushed her away. "What did I say about calling me that in public?" Her glare was menacing.

"Which is why I whispered it to you, duh. Sheesh, can't a girl call her friend something she's totally related to without getting pushed?" Yang crossed her arms, pretending to be offended.

"No." Blake responded in a monotone voice.

Yang dropped her arms in defeat. "I can't catch a break with you, huh?" When Blake shook her head, the blonde simply sighed. "Lame." She noticed her sister and Weiss were walking over. "You two done with your cuddle session?" Blake sent her a warning glare, and Yang grimaced, covering both ears. "U-Uh, I mean, chat. You done chatting?"

Weiss rolled her eyes and looked to Blake, sending her an approved nod. "Thank you for dealing with your oaf of a partner, Blake."

The cat Faunus gave the white wolf a thumbs up. "Any time."

Before anyone else could say anything, the tapping sound of boots were heard, so the team looked over towards the source of the noise. "O-Oh, hey, Ms. Goodwitch…" Ruby nervously waved her hand.

Glynda had her arms crossed, looking at the white wolf, who seemed nervous. "Who is this?" She asked, earning confused looks from the team. "Your semblance. I know what it is, so tell me, who are you?"

Weiss was taken aback. "W-What? Ms. Goodwitch, it's me. Weiss Schnee." She said her full name, knowing the professor wanted to know exactly who she was speaking to. "I thought you already knew about my semblance."

The blonde professor was shocked by who it was. "M-Miss Schnee? But… Your semblance is hereditary, so you shouldn't have this semblance…"

"Oh, that's why you're a little confused. I'm sorry if my mother hadn't informed you yet, but when I unlocked my semblance, it wasn't actually glyphs. My mother told me that since semblances are based on our personalities, I broke out of our family line of semblances and grew into my own." Weiss smiled proudly.

Glynda still couldn't believe what she was telling her. Only Lazuria had that 'semblance', at least to her knowledge. "I-I see, well I'll need to fix some details on your records… Also, why are you using your semblance out here, Miss Schnee?"

Ruby covered for her. "I asked her to, since I thought it would help her get a better grip on her semblance." It wasn't a complete lie.

"Semblance use on school grounds is still not advised." Glynda reminded, and Weiss' ears flattened against her head.

Yang cut in at that point. "Yeah, not advised, but it's not against the rules either. Besides, ice wo… I mean Weiss isn't doing anything wrong with her semblance. If it were me, I can get why'd you'd be a little nervous. Fire and all that, but she's just using her wolf form. So nothing to worry about."

"Very well." Glynda chose not to argue, as thoughts of Lazuria were clearly keeping her distracted. "Still, I would advise changing back soon, Miss Schnee."

"A-About that. I don't really have a lot of aura to use for my semblance just yet, so I have to wait a little while. I-I'm really sorry, Ms. Goodwitch. I'll-." Weiss was cut off.

"I know enough about your semblance to understand why you aren't able to use it just yet, but when you can, I still highly advise changing back." Glynda said, getting Weiss' attention even more so.

"Wait, how come you know about my semblance, but you didn't know I could use it?" Weiss inquired.

Glynda had to think of something to say. "I… Knew someone long ago who could use a similar semblance, so if it's about the same as yours, then I can only guess that you use up a lot of aura on a single use of your semblance."

"Y-Yes, but I had no idea other people had a semblance like mine." Weiss admitted, her white wolf form bringing back a lot of memories for Glynda, almost bringing the professor to tears, but she held it back.

"There are many people in this world, Miss Schnee. It's bound to hold some with similar semblances." Glynda stated.

Weiss looked a bit embarrassed by the thought, since she realized that it may not have sounded all that crazy of a possibility. "Right, well… Do you still speak with this person? I still don't know a lot about-."

"No. She was announced K.I.A. on a mission she was on." Glynda's words caused the team to go completely silent.

"O-Oh, I apologize." Weiss looked down.

"I understand why you'd want to know more about your semblance, but she was the only one I knew who had a similar semblance as yours." Glynda didn't want to bring up how it was literally the exact same 'semblance'.

Ruby noticed her partner looked a bit sad about that news, so she spoke up. "Maybe we can find other people that have her semblance then. You did say there's a lot of people on Remnant, so there's bound to be someone out there with it."

"Maybe so, but the only person I had known who had that semblance was her." Glynda noted.

Weiss sighed, but she couldn't allow that to dishearten her. "I understand. Still, it's nice to know that there are other people out there with a similar semblance to mine."

Glynda nodded, but wondered why someone, with exactly the same semblance was at Beacon. Just like her old teammate. "I'll go and fix up your records on what your semblance is, Miss Schnee." With that, she turned around and headed inside the school.

"Wow, so… That was a thing." Yang spoke first.

Weiss was contemplating the new information she was given. "I never knew other people could have a semblance like mine." She was speaking to herself, and Ruby smiled.

"I'm gonna help find whoever has that same semblance for you, Weiss. That way you can learn more about it." Ruby promised, hugging her from the side.

"D-Do you really believe we'll find someone with my semblance? Even Ms. Goodwitch only knew one person in her life that has it." Weiss reminded.

"Just because she only knew one person, doesn't mean we can't know more than her. Heck, let's just ask around. I betcha we'll find something out." Yang suggested.

The white wolf looked up at the sky, seeing that it was starting to get a little darker. "I doubt we'd get much on that right now in all honesty, Yang." The team looked up to see where she was staring.

"Oh, yeah, looks like it's getting way too late for that." Yang remarked. "Eh, we'll try another day. Just let us know when we can help out, ice wolf."

"Yeah, okay." Weiss was deep in thought, wondering what it would be like to learn more about her 'semblance'. "We should get inside. Ms. Goodwitch already told us we can't run around like we did again."

Ruby nodded in agreement, remembering that Weiss was trying to make sure that Yang wouldn't persuade them into another race. "Right. Maybe we could hang out in the training room."

"Didn't I tell you my aura is too low to do that, you dolt?" Weiss reminded.

"I wasn't saying we have to use our semblances or aura. Maybe just dust training. You know, like testing combinations." Ruby explained.

Weiss realized it wasn't as late for that. "Eh, I guess it's fine, but don't expect much from me. I would rather watch this time."

"Right." Ruby led her team back inside, not wanting to make her partner train when she simply wanted to rest.


Back and forth, Ruby and Yang were using dust against each other, their combinations of dust impressing Blake and Weiss. "I didn't think they'd have a good control on the dust they use." Blake remarked.

Weiss was laying down watching them. "I'm not too surprised. Ruby isn't a fool when it comes to fighting. And same with Yang. Those two are ridiculous at times, but we can trust them in a fight."

Yang smirked while punched upwards with her gauntlets, sending a fire impact shot at Ruby, who was at the moment in the air with the wind dust she used to propel herself up even higher with Crescent Rose.

Ruby responded by blocking the shot with Crescent Rose, safely landing on her feet as Weiss sighed. "Ugh, she said we wouldn't have to use our aura, yet there she goes getting hit by an attack."

"To be fair, you're the one who shouldn't use your aura right now, and she did block it with her scythe." Blake pointed out.

Weiss huffed. "Still doesn't mean they should be firing at each other."

"Weren't you just praising them a moment ago?" Blake asked, rubbing Weiss' fur a bit.

Before she could answer, Ruby held her hand up to her sister. "Hold on, sis. I wanna see what we can do with wind, water and electricity. I was thinking it could be like an actual mini thunderstorm."

"Well, to answer your question, Blake. That's what I praise. The ideas she can come up with." Weiss' tail swayed a bit, feeling proud of her partner. "I… Admire her… Even to a point where I'm a little jealous that she got into this school two years early."

Blake nodded. "It is impressive, though I never really got the story on how she did."

Weiss chuckled, sighing as she recalled what her girlfriend told her. "She snuck onto a mission with a huntress, and… Well her fighting abilities proved to be rather remarkable to the point where she was offered early admission."

"I wouldn't have guess that a girl her age would ever be given a chance like this." Blake remarked.

"Hmm." Weiss watched her partner gathering up some dust, the three kinds she wanted to use and smiled. "She's something else." Ruby cried out when the dust she used zapped her a bit, getting an unimpressed look from Weiss. "And then sometimes she does stuff like that…"

Yang was laughing, unable to contain herself. "Ha! Sis, you should've used the dust separately, not all at once like that."

"S-Shut up!" Ruby blushed, rubbing her arms as they felt numb from being zapped. "Ugh, I thought it would work that way…"

Weiss playfully rolled her eyes and got on her paws. "I'm gonna go make sure she doesn't hurt herself." She said to Blake, who followed close behind. "Ruby, what did I tell you about electric dust?"

"N-Not to get too close to it when it's not in a weapon?" Ruby guessed.

"Yes, and you decided to try and use three types of dust in a pile… Ruby Rose, do not make me have to carry you back if you end up going unconscious." Weiss pleaded.

Yang snickered at the thought. "You know, we never did try that yet."

"Try what?" Blake was the one to ask.

"Letting ice wolf carry one of us. I mean, you are big enough to." Yang said to the white wolf. "And besides, I think you owe Ruby here a carry since she carried you back to the dorm when you were a little puppy."

Weiss growled at the blonde, getting her to take a step back in fear. "Don't bring that up, Xiao Long. And even though Ruby isn't heavy, I still don't feel it's necessary to carry her to the dorm."

Ruby flailed her arms around to get their attention. "Hey! I didn't get a say in this, y'know! Yang was the one who suggested it."

"Yeah, and I wasn't saying you have to… Just implying that you totally should." Yang reiterated.

Ruby cut in again before Weiss could respond. "Yang, I'm not gonna ask Weiss to carry me back. I can walk perfectly fine on my own."

"Sheesh, okay. Was just seeing if you'd wanna try it out for fun." Yang backed off. "Seriously, not trying to piss you off here."

Weiss sighed and examined herself for a moment. "Well… I am bigger now ever since that day we sparred, so I suppose I could carry you." She blushed a bit at what she said. "On missions if need be!" She quickly said, not trying to imply she wanted to carry Ruby then and there.

Ruby let out a small smile. "It's okay, Weiss. I wouldn't ask you to do that."

"I-I… You wouldn't have to. If there's a time where I can help like that, I'll do it." Weiss assured.

"Weiss…" Ruby gently spoke her name, nodding to her partner. "Right, well don't count me out on what I can do too."

"I wouldn't dream of it." Weiss smiled, her tail swaying as she walked over and nuzzled her girlfriend, who hugged her in return.

Yang walked over to Blake and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, smiling at the white rose pair. "Didn't think my joke of an idea would get these results. So worth it."

Blake nodded in agreement. "I can say good job to you on this one, but don't get used to it."

The blonde brawler chuckled. "Trust me, I can surprise you."

"Honestly… I don't doubt that." Blake's words were true, and with Yang, she always felt like she could smile easily.


Not much to say here since it's more of Glynda getting more involved in this story, and of course more team interaction. So I hope that was something you all enjoyed.

To JJ- Yeah with Glynda knowing more, and giving out a bit of info on her, things move a bit closer to where I want it to get to. Obviously neither Glynda or Weiss knows who Lazuria is truly related to. And with Summer and Willow, as usual I enjoy writing their back and forths. It's fun.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 54. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 55.
