Weiss hated mornings, the whole concept of waking up before the sun was lunacy to her, an unbeknownst to her that ideal was shared by one of her new teammates. She slept through the morning alarm of her partner only to be rudely awakened shortly after. Ruby held an air horn to the ears of her new partner, she also plugged one of her ears before she hit the alarm.
BLLLAAAAAAAAA!
"AAAAHHHHH," Weiss shrieked as she launched out of her bed. Confused and in a daze she barely comprehended where she was for a few seconds before she heard from the bed right next to hers the mild groan of a woman too tired for this sound so early in the morning.
"I'm awake, I'm awake," she said through her sleep mask and earmuffs. Weiss just rubbed her eyes when she realized what had happened to her, she had been thrown out of her bed so quickly she hadn't even realized what was happening.
"GOOD MORNING TEAM RECW!" Ruby shouted at the top of her lungs only inches away from Weiss's face, nearly knocking the eyes out of her skull.
"Wha happ-" Weiss slurred out barely conscious until Ruby blasted her again.
BLLLAAAAAAAAA!
"WHHHHHHHYYYY?!" Weiss shrieked out before she was interrupted by her leader once again.
"Now that we are all awake it is time to start decorating." She was bouncing on her heels making it seem like she was bouncing at the speed of sound.
"But we're not all awake. Eve is still asleep." Cinder countered trying to put her head back down on the pillows, she didn't get to far down when the door opened. Eve entered into the room dressed in a set of comfortable workout clothes, some how it looked like it was both too tight and too loose. The sound of entry alerted Weiss as she witnessed Eve walking in, she was surprised to see her still wearing the hat... so early in the morning. Cinder spoke up once again this time dressed for school already wearing her uniform, yet she was missing the jacket only wearing the vest, "Fine. Let's decorate."
"We do need to unpack." Eve said as she was also already dressed in her uniform as well, she was missing both the vest and the jacket. Weiss was just concerned that they had somehow gotten dressed in the blink of an eye. She was still half asleep and on the ground while rubbing her eyes only for Ruby to blast the air horn once.
BLLLAAAAAAAAA!
Weiss fell over her head still vibrating from the noise of having an air horn shatter her ear drums. Ruby just stood tall and raised an arm while the other two of her teammates followed suit only for their leader to shout, "Team RECW and their fearless leader have begun their first mission, BANZAI!"
"BANZAI!" Cinder and Eve followed with their fists in the air. Weiss just shook her head and got ready yet unlike the rest of her team it actually took her time, like the rest of her team she didn't exactly wear it correctly either, choosing to forgo the blazer in place of a nice yellow sweater. When she got out she saw what the rest of her team was doing, Ruby was hanging curtains while standing on a swivel chair, Cinder was turning one of the desks into a sewing station and Eve was turning the shelf closest to her bed into a shrine for her sword. When they finally looked at what they had done it became clear with the pile of beds that were piled up in the middle of the room.
"We should probably do something about that." Eve calmly stated as if it was irrelevant to her current status.
"Well it's not like we can get rid of our stuff," Cinder said while looking at her new sewing station. Ruby pursed her lips as she began to wonder what the answer to this quandary was, it was until a light dinged right above her head.
"Or we do something with the beds..."
"I swear you better not suggest sleeping together," Cinder told her under her breathe.
"And replace them with bunk beds!"
"Oh, that is... marginally better," Cinder finished her thought.
"It could save space..." Eve mused quietly to herself.
"Well if it saves us space... then I suppose we could..." Weiss agreed only to have one of the most aggravating activities of her life, playing a game of jenga with multiple beds. After what felt like forever they were complete, a bed haphazardly nailed into the ceiling with rope and the other held together with glass and nails.
"That could have gone worse," Eve who was inspecting the glass supports, that looked as if it where to collapse any second, said only to finish with, "What is next on the agenda?"
"Yes, what is it oh fearless leader? Breakfast? Orientation? Some third thing?" Cinder mocked her sister hoping to get her to react at all. Her sister just looked at a book she had and read off of it.
"Well we have class starting at 9 so that leaves us plenty of time for a team breakfast." Cinder and Eve were nodding along with that until Weiss put her hands on the sides of her head, with her hands there she grabbed her hair and violently yanked out a large clump on either side. She got looks from all of her team as the sides of her head where bleeding generously she just looked into the eyes of her leader with a mix of violence, rage and a few feelings Ruby didn't have.
"It's 8:55. How is that enough time to get breakfast?" Her eyes were twitching as they all realized that they had to run, Weiss was running out of the room first shortly followed by the others. Jaune was sitting in the doorway across the hall, he called out to the other team.
"What happened?"
"Class starts at 9!" Cinder yelled as she passed the door, he gave a shocked reaction only for Emerald and Mercury to follow suit with the others as well. He did a double take before he grabbed his blazer and chased after them. For all of them it was both a short run to class and also a long one, shorter for some as Ruby turned into petals and made it there in no time, long for some as Cinder may not have been the fastest runner even having Jaune pass her. She shouted to herself while wheezing, "Why is everyone faster than me!"
Roman watched from the middle of the courtyard as the two groups raced through to class. Neo watched with him, they both took a sip of coffee as they silently judged the two teams that were nearly late to class. Neo shook her head at the irresponsibility of the teams while pouring a mysterious dark liquid from a flask into Roman's coffee while he wasn't looking, he took one swig of coffee; He didn't notice at all.
They all burst into class just as the clock ticked zero, there were several looks from the other students who had already made it there on time. The teacher a tall man in a vest looked at them and just motioned them to their seats. He was flustered a little bit but that didn't stop him from starting his speech, Ruby took to ignoring it immediately which the rest of her team followed as well when they realized that it was introductions. He just wanted to confirm to his students that he was a teacher, "My name is Professor Hei Xiong, most people call me Junior I am fine with either... just as long as you don't call me ma'am."
The joke didn't land as no one found it funny, several people coughed as he rubbed the back of his neck trying to alleviate tension, "I will be your Grimm studies professor during your time at Beacon..." he got a bunch of disinterested looks from the class while he floundered in his speech, "Now what can you tell me about Grimm?"
The whole class seemed bored while he delivered his speech, it was not interesting and only the most dedicated students were actually following along. So Weiss was taking notes as he fumbled and mumbled through the lesson. Ruby wasn't following along choosing to instead draw on a piece of paper mocking the teacher, when she showed Weiss she was less than pleased. Slightly scowling at the sight of her leader looking more than a little concerned with how little interest Ruby showed in the teachers lesson. The longer the lesson continued the more unconcerned Ruby was with it, Weiss found this more and more grating as the lesson went on. Her interest was returned to the teacher when finally he slammed his hand onto a large cage resting right next to him.
"Now is there no one that has courage and drive to face this challenge," He said while his hand was still on the cage next to him.
"I do," Weiss proclaimed as if to show her leader that she was paying more attention to her teacher than to her teammate. Yet she stood up completely unaware of what the challenge was.
"Excellent, now come here and prove it," He said while waving her down.
"Wha-" She gave a few looks for several seconds before she realized what she had to do, then she left the room to get changed into her combat gear. It couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes but when she returned to the room she found the cage was set across the room from her. It was a large cage holding something that was probably a Beowolf, she just positioned herself directly across from the cage.
"Ready?" He asked her as he moved a mace over the cage, she just nodded right before he brought it down breaking the lock. When it broke the door to it fell with a loud bang, she half expected a Boarbatusk or something smaller what she wasn't expecting was the cracking sound of bones. It came to a peak when a large hand emerged from the cage, it was vaguely human only being betrayed by it's jet black appearance with several bone chunks jutting out from it. The cracking only slowed when the rest of it emerged from the cage a large ape like beast with several layers of bones protruding it. It was a Beringel, a massive ape that was commonly found in the wilds of Sanus, so that begged the question...
"Where did you get this thing?!"
"Well it took a team a month to track down the beast and then a week to capture it, and after several weeks it found it's way here to me." He said as calmly as possible as it began charging at her. It didn't seem odd to him that the girl would have trouble dealing with a beast that took a full team several weeks to deal with.
Weiss leveled Myrtenaster at it's chest uncertain if she could beat it, when it was in range it raised it's right hand in a motion about to crush her. She raised Myrtenaster to intercept the paw and when they collided she caused a blast of flame to repel it's making it stumble back. She had to deliver a quick counter placing her rapier into a jabbing motion performing several quick jabs to test it's defenses. They were less than effective only getting a harsh look from the beast, a head front attack wouldn't work against a beast like this so she needed to come up with a way to beat the beast.
The Beringel leveled it's left arm far from it's main mass before it swiped at her, she stabbed her blade into the arm but rode it a few feet before flipping onto it's arm. Weiss then began to spin the cylinder a few times activating the dust in a few different ways while slashing up it's arm. There were a multitude of effects that happened not only freezing the arm and burning it but it was doing little damage to the arm. It didn't do much as she was hoping when the Beringel reacted faster than she was anticipating punching her with it's other arm. This threw her from the creature before it flexed it's arm and shattered the ice while extinguishing the flame at the same time.
She was at a disadvantage being physically weaker than the beast but she had something it didn't, incredible precision that not even a machine could manage. She did a flip before stabbing Myrtenaster into the ground preparing to do something that she had just recently learned, but before that she had to buy some time. She created a large ice bubble around herself separating the beast from herself. It wouldn't last long simply enough, she stood there perfectly still before spinning and doing a little twirl of her blade before stabbing it into the ground. A Glyph began to form right outside of the bubble as the Beringel punched it with the full force of a tank, the fist got through getting just next to Weiss. It didn't connect not having enough time to when Weiss finished what she was doing, "I've seen everything you've got but you haven't seen anything of mine!"
It leveled another fist at her to punch through the other side of the bubble, but it didn't connect when a giant white hand caught it. The Beringel turned towards the white hand to see a massive white knight blocking the Beringel. When Weiss saw it, memories came flowing back, of her time in her family home preparing for Beacon, of her father and his incessant need to baby her, and those Geist that possessed a suit of her grandfathers armor. It was a tough fight but with a little luck and a lot of grit she managed to beat it without any damage to her, well that wasn't true it did break her aura. If she was slightly less skilled she could have gotten hurt or worse yet, gotten a scar.
The Arma Gigas was larger than the Beringel and it managed to throw the Grimm across the room. All of the other students where speechless at the sight of a large white statuesque giant that had managed to throw another fully grown beast several feet, well all but a few. Her teammates were in awe as well but they recovered faster then the rest when they began to cheer her on, "woo go teammate!"
"Yeah go Weiss!" Cinder was waving a little flag that had the team name embroidered on it, there were several questions how she had that so quickly after the team was formed. Ruby however was silent at the sight of a massive suit of armor, simply ignoring her teammates cheers while focusing intensely on the Grimm right in front of her teammate. Weiss stabbed the ground again but this time it was to dissolve the bubble that was around her, she leveled Myrtenaster at it as she spouted out an insult.
"Now it's time to say goodbye!" It howled at her before it charged as well not letting her breathe. It jumped up at her while raising both of its fists above its head, it aimed to deliver a devastating ground pound. But it never got to her when the Arma Gigas gave a devastating right uppercut directly to its face, this kept it in the air long enough to for the armor to jab it right in the chest. The Beringel went flying once more hitting the wall cracking it slightly, she gave a smirk expecting it to dissolve any moment... any moment... any moment... It got back up.
It howled once more before glaring right at her, it shouldn't be this difficult to beat. She just couldn't get through its skin, it was just too tough and she didn't have any way to pierce through. But somehow she needed to, her mind was racing a mile a minute she couldn't think of a plan, "Aim for the eyes! They're the only weak point!"
Ruby yelled the answer at her, how did she know they were the weak point? Was she guessing? Where did this plan come from? All of these questions came to mind but one thing rang out, 'Aim for the eyes'. She had to shake her head before she looked at the Arma Gigas and nodded. She raised Myrtenaster and summoned several ice Glyphs forming jagged projectiles, they were then flung at it embedding themselves into the Beringel. It charged at her ignoring all of the damage done to it with the ice, she expected this when she flicked her wrist summoning Glyphs where the ice was on it's skin causing the spikes to grow larger. They didn't go through the Beringel they hit the ground forming a brake stopping it's movements, it was trapped in place but it could shatter them with it's arms. Too bad the Arma Gigas ran behind it and grabbed both of it's arms, the Arma Gigas did this by sliding it's arms underneath the beast's before grabbing it's fists in the air and pulling them back.
It was stuck in place before she formed several Glyphs underneath herself leading up towards the Beringel. She leveled Myrtenaster and took a step right before she propelled herself forward at an incredible speed, she had seen Ruby come up with this plan during initiation to turn Eve into a bullet now she was turning herself into a bullet. It didn't take more than a second to get from where she was to the Beringel and in that second she drove Myrtenaster right through it's eye. This time the beast began to dissolve, she couldn't believe that they eyes were the weak point for a beast this large.
There were several cheers from the audience as what she had done was impressive to most of them but after it was gone that she just stood back up. She didn't have the look of victory more up confused success, her pondering was delayed when Junior declared, "And that is how it's done. Even if there were plenty of surprises that doesn't betray the truth of what was accomplished here. Even when facing a monster twice her size and strength she didn't give up and in that determination she succeeded against an impossible task!"
He stood proudly as they all took that note down. But the bell rang right then and all the students flowed out of the class but Weiss still stood there in the area right where she had just slain the Beringel. She looked at the knight for a few seconds before she shook her head and turned away, the Arma Gigas just did a little bow while touching its right arm to left shoulder right before dissolving as well. Before she could leave class her teammates flocked to her Ruby was the one to ask the question thought, "And what was that massive ghost thing?"
"That was my semblance," Weiss said very nose up and hoighty toighty of herself. Ruby's eyes just turned duller as they half shut right before she asked another question.
"I figured, I mean what is your semblance?"
"Come to think of it do any of us know each other's semblances?" Cinder asked right after Ruby's questions, Eve was the one to follow her up.
"Not likely, none of us have really talked since initiation." Eve said while raising her hands to either side to accentuate her question. This question was pressing but when Ruby turned back to Weiss she found that she had already left. It didn't take long for Ruby to follow after her partner, but Weiss was less than pleased to be followed.
"Weiss!" She caught up to her shortly but that didn't matter when Weiss saw her, "What is wrong?"
"How did you know the weakness of the Beringel? How come you weren't surprised when I summoned that knight? What are you?" Weiss didn't want to know the answer to several of these questions but for some reason she needed to ask as she felt uneasy around her leader, almost like whenever she talked to her she was talking to a stone wall.
"I am the leader of the team, Weiss, nothing suspicious here." She said calmly with little emotion on her face ready for Weiss to ask any other question. Weiss was more thrown off by this comment than Ruby thought she would be, but Weiss simply just made another comment.
"I think making you leader was a mistake." She said this as she walked away from her teammate. Ruby was probably trying to calm her teammate but what she said may have had some truth. Ruby didn't have the heart to follow her at this point, she just stood there waiting for what could only be described as several minutes, until Roman came around a corner. He hadn't heard but there was a twinge of understanding in his eye when he looked into hers, yet at the same time instead of strength and determination in the eyes of the people around them he averted his gaze and tried to flee. It didn't work as she called out to him.
"Headmaster I have a question for you." He let out a large sigh as he looked back at her.
Weiss walked through the courtyard after a very stressful fight that her leader delivered some insight that there is no way she could have known. Her head was swelling with questions that she had no way of answering it wasn't until she found herself in a remote part of her house did she find she had slipped back into her memories, she ended up in the ones that happened just before she left. She was near her father's old study, she had no doubt if he was a workaholic he would practically have lived out of this room, but he wasn't so he didn't. He was a loving man that had been there every step of her life telling her that he loved her and was proud every second of the day. Her mother however was colder she may have once been a up and coming huntress but those times long since passed when her father had failed to lead the company to the greatness he promised her father. She had to take over and with that came more militaristic beliefs making the Schnee dust company more of a private army that owned all of the most plentiful dust mines on Remnant.
"Weiss what are you doing in this dusty old room?" She turned to see her father a man in his late fifties. He was well dressed man wearing a vest as white as his hair along with an unbuttoned shirt underneath. He used to wear fancy suits but he chose to forgo those for taking too long to put on, he was dressed in a practical yet fashionable if seen in public look. She didn't react quickly to what he said which prompted him to say, "Brr, It's dreadfully cold in here. Why don't we go see if we can get Klein to make us that cocoa you always like?"
"I'm fine just looking for a good book to take to bed," She said absentmindedly.
"Well you won't find anything good in here, most of these are fake or boring." He said as he tapped several of the hollow books on the shelves in the room. Only when he failed to illicit a reaction from his daughter did he do something, he moved to behind the desk where he fished out a book from the desk. It was a large book that in big faded letters on the front said, 'Tales of Remnant'. He showed this to her and said, "Well except for this one," He smiled as he looked at it, "I used to read it to you almost religiously, you'd always wander in here and I couldn't help but sit you on my lap and read this to you."
"Yes, I remember you tell this story... almost religiously." He chuckled at that last part it was probably one of the last things that he would hear from his daughter for a while, this was until his face turned from happy to sad.
"I know I can't talk you out of leaving," he was conflicted about what he wanted to say in this matter she could tell, "But I want you to remember that-"
"You're proud of me. I know that as well," She interrupted him callously after having heard this so often.
"Wha- no I was gonna say..." He trailed off before he could finish, "I was going to say that. But just because you've heard it before doesn't make it any less true. I don't have much to give you in the way of advice for your path because it will be so much different from mine, but I want you to know that there isn't a doubt in my mind that says you won't succeed." This made her smile, but that was always what he was good at. Making her feel better about herself by telling her that she couldn't fail, that she could do whatever she set her mind to, but that wasn't what she needed at the moment, "One thing I do have to give you is good memories, so... here."
He handed her the book with a smile and a hug while saying, "If you ever feel lost I'm sure this will help you find your way, and if it doesn't you'll at least remember the love."
She shook her head and she was suddenly back at Beacon in the middle of the courtyard sitting on a bench that she hadn't even realized she had sat on. This was going to be hard, dealing with people so unlike her family. She had to do it though to achieve her dream, because she had all that faith behind her pushing her forward. This was until she heard the distinct crunch of food. She turned to see Junior eating his lunch right next to her on the bench, for such a large man he didn't make that much noise. There was an awkward silence that she needed to break, "So whatcha eating?"
"Lunch, why? Am I disturbing you?" He asked quickly but before she could answer he finished, "I was already sitting here when you sat down, and you looked really deep in your own head so I figured that I would just leave you to it."
"I guess I was..." She trailed off as well but he took this as a sign.
"That was a spectacular showing in class by the way, I'm sure that will inspire your peers to try harder to reach your level."
"I wasn't really trying to show off I just figured that I lacked the strength to properly beat the beast. I thought I could bring it down with that alone..." She trailed once again unclear as to what she wanted from this conversation.
"You can never bring down a beast with strength alone, I mean that tip you received from Ms. Rose was vital to your success." He said this while shoving the rest of his sandwich in his mouth.
"That's the problem, she knew that would work. I mean who knows that could work? It's unsettling to talk to her so when she knows something like this I can't help but wonder why."
"Maybe she learned it from experience, or she could have just guessed. Grimm weak points are more luck than science sometimes. But her knowing isn't the problem is it?" He asked her almost like he knew it was. What she saw wasn't a man helping a student but more a barkeep you confide your deep dark secrets with who tells you right from wrong.
"Before initiation she had this light in her eyes and then after it was completely gone. And since then she has been... well... Calm. It seems like nothing fazes her, I mean she didn't even flinch when I summoned the Arma Gigas," she was getting more panicked about this part, "I don't know if I can trust my life to someone that won't react when I get hurt, or worse-"
"Do you expect everyone to react to things the same? Just because she's different doesn't mean she is wrong, let's be honest you just haven't gotten used to each other yet and that is why this whole conflict is happening." Weiss was speechless he was right she hadn't given Ruby the chance, was that all she needed to do? Give Ruby the benefit of the doubt.
"What is it? It can't be that pressing it is only the second day after all." He said with a smile hoping that would be enough to stop her.
"Do... you think making me leader was a mistake?" She said uncharacteristically quietly, he just held an unconcerned look on his face.
"It's the second day, can't you just wait to have an existential crisis until halfway through the year?" She didn't waver even a second forcing him to followed up with, "No I don't think making you leader was the wrong choice. I mean your team isn't exactly filled with people of great leadership characteristics, look at your sister she is the closest runner up and we both know she did something unsavory enough to take a year off," She nodded her head in agreement, the pause he took was to light a cigar so he could deliver the next bit with the most confidence imaginable, "The truth is I chose you because you manage to stay calm in every situation regardless of pressure, that is an admirable trait that not everyone can develop. But we both know the root of where that stems from, the best thing I can say to you is," he took a pause which she was uncertain where he would take this too, "Have a heart, allow yourself to trust the people around you and you know if you find it at all possible care for them. You'll be even stronger for it trust me."
He patted her on the head as he walked passed her. She wasn't sure he was right but the way he said it made her want to try at least a bit. Should she look for Weiss or wait for her to come back to the room it would seem more personal for her to search but she knew where she would end up. She decided to trust her gut and go to the place where she knew she would be eventually.
The dorm room looked as slap dash as ever with the beds having not collapsed in and all there stuff still in place so that was good. Her bed was freshly made which was odd, she was a princess and what kind of princess makes her own bed. Not even Cinder makes her own bed preferring to command her underlings to do it. Well they weren't here and Ruby didn't do it either so then it just didn't get made. With such proximity she would probably have the blonde boy do it, what was his name again? Vomit Boy? Whatever it was irrelevant at this moment when she looked at the shelf next to her partner's bed. A single book that looked all to familiar to the red head, 'Tales of Remnant', how many of those stories had Cinder read to her as a child?
She started to thumb through the pages of the book, all filled with fables and stories of heroes and monsters but this book looked different. Well worn like it had be read a thousand times with faded letters, illustrations that you could barely make out as they had been drawn over by what looks like a toddler, splotches of sticky colors that made the pages stick together and several pages missing. But the last thing she found was a note on the back cover, 'For Willow and Jacques, Even if you're busy please take time to read this to the kids. It will fill them with such wonder like their mother before them.'
Ruby realized she was snooping at this point and if Weiss were to walk in she would misunderstand her partner's curiosity- "What are you doing?"
"Uhh," she needed to come up with a convincing lie that wouldn't sound like a lie, she was always great under pressure, "Snooping."
They both stared at each other after they both heard that, Ruby's blank look took a little turn of embarrassment, Weiss on the other hand couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected the truth like that so she might as well give her the benefit of the doubt. The smaller girl sat down next to where the red one was on the bed before taking the book out of her hands. She didn't take but a second to read the note on the back cover before she spoke up again, "Well at least he read it to me."
"Could be worse, Cinder read it to me as a kid so now I have nightmares of getting eaten by grandma." Weiss gave a more concerned look with a twinge of regret and sudden understanding. They both sat while staring at the book for a few seconds before they both spoke up at the same time. They tried to get the other to go first to which Weiss took the first spot.
"I was a bit unfair to you, I may have said some harsh things because I didn't really understand you at the time." She looked steadfast and strong while saying this, "I would like to say I'm sorry and I think I was a bit too harsh on you without getting to know you first. So from now on you get the benefit of the doubt." She said this really positively half expecting her leader to say something about how they would make a great team and that they'll become best friends.
"I am a Sociopath," Ruby said without a second of hesitation. When Weiss heard this she was taken aback both physically and mentally, what had her younger teammate just said? It was probably a joke something to alleviate tension, she probably just had a sick sense of humor. She did grow up with Cinder Fall for that matter, there was no way. Weiss let out a chuckle half expecting Ruby to follow along and chuckle as well, yet when the look on her face never changed she had to confirm for herself.
"You're a what?" She said softly hoping that whatever kind of joke this was would show through soon.
"I am a Sociopath, so that is why I seem so cold and uncaring all the time." She stopped and looked at the girl who just had eyes wide with realization.
"Oh... that explains a lot."
"But I just want you to know, that I will try to care about you and your feelings." She said with a smile that Weiss fully saw through now that she knew.
"Thank you... I guess." Before she could ask any other questions the door to the room opened and two people walked in. The rest of their team walked in, both looking a little more than not singed and soaked while arguing a little bit as well.
"I told you that it wouldn't work." Eve said while ringing out her hair as her shirt was already transparent. Cinder was singed more than her partner and while she wasn't soaking she was a little wet.
"It did work, he tried to carry me to nurse's office. He couldn't though because someones fat butt was too heavy for him to carry her as well." Cinder commented as she began taking her shirt off and threw it on her sewing station. Weiss was just confused by all of the people around her talking but that was stopped by Cinder asking her sister, "So how was your day?"
"Fine, I told Weiss I am a Sociopath." When Cinder heard this she moved from her station to look at the white girl.
"Oh," their eyes met and for a second there was a silent conversation that they were having between blinks, "Oh no."
Please like, comment, and subscribe. Or you know don't you have free will and I don't control you so whatever.
So Ruby coming out to Weiss was the big focal point of this chapter, and I wanted to make that as dramatic as possible. The differences between their relationship will become more clear later. As for Weiss' parents, they swapped roles with Willow taking the role of workaholic CEO while Jacques took the role of loving father and that is why she is more kind. With all of the support from her father she managed to be able to summon earlier, and instead of the Arma Gigas scarring her it didn't so she doesn't have a scar on her face. This was never specified in earlier chapters so I'm specifying it now.
And Cinder's plan was to make Jaune look good and to get out of class, it failed and ended when instead of taking them to the nurses office he threw a bucket of water at them. This will not be seen next chapter.
