"Oh isn't today just beautiful," Weiss said happily.
"How, I'm booked this evening, swamped with meetings and I still have other issues showing up in having to order up the new vehicles for the army, we've just started training for the first armored battalion, not to mention sorting out even more storage and housing for the current airborne and infantry battalions," I said not looking up from my scroll, it's been two days since my last meeting with Dr. Polendina and getting Jaune enlisted into the officers Corp.
We've been expanding quite quickly, surprisingly considering that we are a very experimental force, granted there are more people in vale than I first thought, that and half our army are Faunus, not intentionally mind you, it just seems that unsurprisingly having military training, food, and a place to call home at night is better than being homeless and starving. I've even formed a general staff, all of these first ones being trained up by me of course, I wouldn't trust random civilians to learn battle maneuvers and tactics by themselves, West Point and the ROTC exist for a reason when it comes to training officers.
"I mean the Vytal Festival, it's coming to Vale!" She said happily.
"You're smiling that's weird," Ruby said from the back.
"Oh shush you, look at it all the planning and economic growth!" She said way more chipper than one should be talking about money.
"Leave it to Weiss cream to make something so great to sound so boring," Yang piped from the left.
"Indeed," I said sarcastically.
"Why are we at the docks anyways?" Ruby asked.
"Weiss doesn't want to admit it but she's scouting out the opponents for the tournament," Blake said in a monotone.
"And I'm here because I have a major dust shipment coming in in two days major SDC freighter," I dropped into the conversation, so instead of one shipment it's gonna be two of them, and the reason why I need so much dust is that I'm literally running an army.
We hear some cops talk about a dust shop robbery, "third one this week, you think it's the white fang?" One of the cops said.
"You know what I'm thinking, I'm thinking we aren't getting paid enough," the other cop said.
"Hmpf, it's just like those animals to do such a thing," Weiss said indignantly. I internally sighed before internally yelling at the world.
"What's that supposed to mean," Blake shot back
"My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane." Weiss defended her self
"The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus." Blake argues back.
"Misguided? They want to wipe Humanity off the face of the planet!" Weiss said disgusted.
"So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!" Blake shouted.
"Hey you get down here you no good stowaway," one of the dock guards shouted at a monkey Faunus hanging from a light pole.
"Hey I'm a great stowaway," the monkey Faunus said back getting down from the pole and running off.
"Well Weiss you wanted to see the competition, and there he goes," Yang said cheekily.
"Quick after him," Weiss shouted, I immediately wanted to put my palm through my head.
While running I asked, "we really gotta do this? I'm sure we'll run into him eventually" no response.
"Whatever," I said exasperated.
Turning a corner we find an empty street, "looks like we lost him," I said panting.
"Drat,"
"Salutations Mr. Nash," Penny said walking down to us.
"Oh afternoon penny, the paper work will have gone through by tonight, so why don't you join us ba-" I get interrupted by Weiss.
"Did you see that rapscallion what came through here?" Weiss said quickly.
"Oh my god," I said quietly under my breath.
"Who-"
"That filthy Faunus from the boat!"
"Why do you keep saying that," Blake interjected.
"What," Weiss said annoyed.
"Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person!" Blake said getting angry.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can? Or this lamppost as a lamppost?" Weiss exclaimed sarcastically.
"Stop it!"
"Stop what? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!" Weiss said indignantly.
"You ignorant little brat!" Blake growled out her fists clenched.
"How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!" Weiss said anger laced in her voice.
"You are a judgmental little girl."
"What in the world makes you say that?"
"The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!" Blake shouted defending Sun
"Um, I think we should probably go..." yang whispered to me and ruby.
"Where are we going?" Penny asked.
I sighed and shook my head, "I don't know penny, I mean look at em," I said point at the cat and dog in the room.
"So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!" Weiss shouted
"That's not what I meant, and you know it!" Blake defended herself, I sighed and gestured for all of us to head back to the dorms.
OHNOES They're fighting! Honestly though we all had to be expecting this, in any case the vytal festival is coming up, but not too fast, for now it'll only be the city getting in the festival mood, the tournament won't be occurring for another couple of chapters.
Anyways in case no one has said it yet, have a great day
