(sigh)
Weiss with her three bags of highly processed dust to Beacon, as a transfer student to Beacon, she isn't looking too excited.
"Urghhh, I can't believe they still use dirt roads… How uncivilized..." One step at a time, Weiss makes her way to the entrance, the path to Beacon isn't a pleasant one, and seeing there isn't anyone here at the gate, Weiss can't help but to cross her arms inspecting this rusty looking school.
"Great, now where's everyone?" Weiss checking her scrolls, she's on time and her destination matches the pictures and description, now she is a bit worried. "Hello? Anyone here?"
"Hmm?" Ruby looking down from above, she's on one of the high walls and has just slept her first night near Beacon, it's a peaceful and isolated place where Ruby felt closer to home with the woods near her, she isn't expecting visitors to come after yesterday ceremony.
"Oh hi, I have been waiting here for like two minutes, care to explain?" Ruby jumps down to check what's up, but instead what she faced is Weiss's uneasy look, as much Ruby thought as she did something wrong again, she has no clue who this white-dressed girl is.
"I know I wasn't supposed to sleep here but… beds are evil!"
"Huh?" Weiss tilted her head a bit. "Alright…. Just let me in, will you? Look, here's my documents."
Ruby never saw papers with dust painted on it before, expensive-looking yet paper-like, it's unlike anything she saw on the street, comparing this with the posters and newspapers, Ruby overreacted but soon behaved, she noticed Weiss is watching, Weiss smiled but not feeling too optimistic, she only hope if Ruby knows what she's doing.
"Hey, what's your name dirty red?"
"Ruby, Ruby Rose." Ruby noticed her three bags full of dust. "Do you get them from the store as well?"
"Of course not! These are my property, the Schnee product! And I do not take kindly if you compared them with those low graded dust all over in Vale." Weiss takes one of the fine potions and shows it to Ruby. "...see, 100% purified from rich mineral sites."
"Ahhhh…" Ruby notices the smell of dust, maybe it's different Ruby couldn't tell, it looks and feels the same as the dust in normal dust stores. "Oh yes, I certainly think so that your dust is really high graded…"
Weiss isn't feeling too convinced with Ruby's answer. "Just get me in, will you?"
"Sure, I'm uhm… so I go get the door for you." Ruby isn't sure if Weiss was mad or just this is how she talks, but not to disappoint Weiss any further, Ruby jumps back in and entered the password.
The entrance was once again open and Glynda notices it on her morning tea break.
"Urghhh, why they happen to be in this period of time." Glynda walks to her situation room, she suspects it's intruders but what finds out it's Ruby.
"Ozpin!"
"...so what makes you... here?" Weiss asks curiously as Ruby didn't seem to be acting normal, in terms of a student or just visitors she suspects. Ruby's dirty outfit suggesting she isn't a maid even though she wears a skirt, and a cape which is oddly enough, the more Weiss tries to make any sense of this suspicious looking girl, the more she can't draw any conclusion. "...you do cleaning in Beacon?"
"...uhmmmmm," Ruby's hesitant response makes Weiss' head tilted even more, soon staring at her in front. "I think… I was… uhm… caught?"
"I don't recall they turn Beacon a prison." Weiss sarcasm didn't go unnoticed, Ruby quickly gets her message and only grins, awkwardly.
"It's complicated… Well, I just never thought of living inside this place for three years, don't people get bored?" Ruby now isn't sure what she's trying to say. "I mean it feels Uhm… locked inside here."
"Stop before I misunderstand you."
"Alright…" Awkward silence occurs as the two arrive at the main hall, the Beacon hasn't awaken yet as only two are waiting for them, Glynda comes and take Ruby away, leaving Weiss to Ozpin.
"...how do you know the password?"
"...guess?" Glynda slaps Ruby with her crop, Ruby dodges it but soon realizes the ground is half burned. "I try to click on the pad until it succeeds! ...yesterday."
Glynda slap on Ruby's head again, this time she didn't dodge, feeling the pain. "I'm sorry!"
"Welcome Weiss Schnee, we're very sorry to keep you waiting." Ozpin greets Weiss with his cane, "...come let me give you a tour if you may."
"Oh about that, who is she…"
A sudden light reflected on his glasses, Ozpin looked more than willing to talk about Ruby. "Oh yes, I see she has a very unique magnet getting anyone around her, just like a big sucky tippy, excuse my language."
"Excuse me?"
"Ruby Rose, she's the daughter of Summer Rose! I thought she's already dead but you see, her daughter is here, ah hahaha, Glynda won't let me discuss Ruby with her, so sorry if I sound a bit excited." Ozpin with his moving cane, the group moves through the spacious hall.
"You do." Weiss nods her head, she can't remember where she heard the name, she looks a bit frustrated. "Summer... Rose?"
"Yes, Summer Rose, do you know her?"
"No… but I know I heard this name before…" Weiss looks back and sees Ruby being scolded by Glynda, her memories of linking someone famous to Ruby seems ridiculous . "Really?"
"Glynda, come." Ozpin takes the two on a small tour, with Glynda constantly staring at Ruby's back. "Allow me to introduce myself, the name Ozpin, headmaster of the Beacon for 25 years, and Glynda, she's one of the lecturers in Beacon, she will be teaching you the boring stuff."
"Hey."
"Apologize, but old Ozpin has a mouth that won't dry." Two knock on the ground, the wall opens itself and leads them outside the hall, a few stairs and they arrive on a new height, where Ozpin can point at one of the taller buildings to the north.
"That's where you stay, Weiss Schnee, you too Ruby, if one day you make up your mind." Weiss now looks at Ruby and then Ozpin, the headmaster is shaking his head, hinting it's complicated stuff, Weiss with many questions in mind, she decides to hold them all for later.
"Go on."
"The oval building, that's the cafeteria, serves foods for all of Beacon, there are some shops nearby too for supply."
"The blocky ones are where you two are going to study, studying is not compulsory, again just so you know."
"Yeah!" Ruby rejoice.
Glynda quickly adds on. "If only you can beat me."
Ruby quickly approaches Ozpin, her smirk smile clearly exposed her naughty intentions. "...how?"
A few slashes throw towards Ruby on the back, Glynda is on her mission to educate Ruby, it has been years she met a troublesome student.
"Sir, what's that wide-open area for?" Weiss asks as Ruby and Glynda chase in the background, Ozpin too ignores them.
"Oh that's for our battle simulation, I know Atlas has one for indoors, but we too have a smaller one in the hall." Ozpin proudly swings his cane. "We also have a very big and authorized area, the Emerald forest."
Ozpin points towards the horizon and Weiss isn't too sure.
"All of the that belongs to the Beacon?"
"That's right, not everything is under our control," Ozpin lowered his voice. "We have casualties before but it's perfectly safe for obvious reasons, we have check-ups and cameras whatnot."
"Ozpin, she escaped." Glynda is mad, Ozpin can literally see something burning around Glynda, he didn't expect Glynda would loose her temper against Ruby.
"Uh. Calm down?"
"Hi, I'm back." Ruby jumping from one tree to the other, Glynda quickly uses nature magic and holds her to the ground. "Please, I hate to study ."
"You have no other choice Ruby, beat me or study, that's all."
"Oh please don't go too hard on her…" Ozpin trying diplomacy. "Glynda, she just 14."
"I don't care if she's only 12, I will show her some discipline." Ruby manages to escape once again when Glynda takes a moment talking to Ozpin, little red makes Glynda out of control, Ozpin and Weiss look at them go. "Stop! Stop you fool!"
"Well, that's just how rebellious teenagers act, don't you think." Ozpin winks at Weiss, but Weiss refused to respond positively.
"She's just a dumb hyperactive monkey."
"Opinions, I won't judge." Ozpin and Weiss walk down to the library, and onwards to the Beacon Tower, where most paperwork is done by the staff and teachers.
"There, you're now officially one of the new students in Beacon, welcome again." Ozpin hands over Weiss's uniform.
"Did Jacques call you?" Weiss not looking directly at Ozpin.
"No, is there anything else you want me to do?"
"No, thank you, sir." Weiss left the office, walking down the stairs, her steps felt heavy. Ozpin looked from above with his mug of tea, grins as he enjoyed his refreshment .
"This could be interesting."
…
"Where's Ruby? Where the hell is Ruby?" Yang asks as her favorite bike went missing, now lifting the bed Blake sat on, Blake slowly pulls on her blanket, trying to act asleep(death).
"Blake! Where's Ruby!" Yang caught her before she closed her eyes.
"How do I know Yang!" Blake jumps off the bed as Yang lifts it up even higher and unsteadily. "Also, why do you think she would be underneath my bed!"
"I don't know! She's a great hider, she can be anywhere! Even behind this open window!"
"Hi, sis."
"Ruby!" Yang quickly takes her little sister in but realizes she's heavy with that scythe on her back. "Ughh, why you slept outside again!"
"Yang please, I don't feel comfortable surrounding myself with four walls! Yang what are you doing, please Yang, this is not a time for bath," The door slam quicker than expected, Blake could hear some yelling and mocking, the ground shakes as if a small quake happened, Blake couldn't imagine what monstrosity happened inside, perhaps only blood and clean water, with two sisters.
"I guess I leave." Ignoring the voice coming from the bathroom, Blake saw Glynda stomping across the walkway, the students acting afraid as they never see the horrible Glynda mad, most of them play death as they watch the storm passed by.
[What happened in Beacon?]
Blake afraid her question would never get an answer, she wouldn't want to know, her journey towards the land of books, the library, it supposed to move her away from tired reality, but instead, she finds an unexpected figure, Weiss Schnee the direct heir of the kingdom Mantle, her expression turn from shocked to cautious, Weiss noticed her as well, both looking uneasy.
"Hi." Blake looked around, checking if it's trap or sort. "I suggest we keep a distance will you?"
"...sure, Belladonna." Weiss turns around. "I have no interest in melding Mistral's affairs, especially after I heard many tales of yours…"
"Good to know." Blake stops for a moment before heading back to the library, leaving Weiss staring behind at Blake, her unfriendly looks slowly shown, with her fist getting tied.
"Another problem I can't ignore, oh well…"
Back on Ruby, Glynda finally caught her, this time Yang is by her side too, she looks a lot better than before, her clean hair and new fresh student outfit, and that giggling face.
"Ruby Rose, do you have any idea, any idea at all? To disrespect me in Beacon…" Ruby shakes her head. "Good, now I would let you know."
"Professor, please forgive my little sister, she isn't used to school."
"She's not even educated?" Glynda nearly fainted, but Yang quickly held her up. "Ozpin never told me this!"
(Ozpin: hey… it's you that doesn't want me to talk about her.)
"But please, if you give me time, I will train her well enough to survive here." Yang signals Ruby to apologize.
"I'm very sorry! Professor!"
"What was it?" Ozpin walks in the room as soon as he heard Glynda yell his name. "Oh my, what have you done?"
"She didn't go to school, she needs more education!" Glynda's eyes could feel the burning passion, some students could hear her from upstairs. "Why you never tell me this, she's the child that's left behind!"
Ruby quickly hid behind the window, but Yang caught her back in.
"Oh don't worry professor, Ruby is very smart, she learns things very fast too."
"That's great, Ruby! I'm going to teach you everything you need!"
