"Hello Ruby," the headmaster said. "you seem to be distracted, come with me." Ozpin started to lead Reaper down the hallways, "Miss. Rosa, care to explain why you are acting so spaced out throughout the entire day?"
Reaper looks away from the headmaster, "I-I think you made a mistake, I am not leader material, I don't know the first thing about leading a team. I don't even know how to lead by example. I feel like I am just going to fail my team, or worse."
Ozpin did not respond, instead he handed a scroll-pad to Reaper. A video was preselected to play, as it was there with, showing off the faunus leading the people she was teamed up with as well as protecting them. "So what does this prove?" asked the faunus.
Ozpin sighs, "You have the ember to be a great leader, but you need to be confident in yourself, as you are a leader and I believe in you. I was a leader myself, and I have made mistakes. I know what it is like having people depend on you, so you can rely on me if you need me."
Reaper looked away, "I had no idea Ozpin, does it get any easier, leading?"
"Only if you learn and listen, people need a leader that is a part of the team. They don't need a leader that tells them how to be a team." Ozpin then points in a random direction, or that is that it appeared to be to the reaper.
When the Reaper looked at what the headmaster was pointing at she quickly realized that he was leading them to Weiss. The faunus gulped as she was still not sure how this team would fair with her as a leader. However that was no excuse for what Weiss said, as she was right.
Fountain
Weiss was sitting at the fountain thinking over the behavior her girlfriend was portraying today, as that was not appropriate behavior. The way she acted in the forest, so confident it was as if she had lead a team before. However how she acted today was the complete opposite, she was distracted, unsure like a complete dunce. The leader that was in the forest, it was like she was a completely different person. Getting tiered of thinking Weiss decided to sit down and just relax.
After a couple of minutes she felt a presence approaching her, deciding to open up one eye she saw her girlfriend walking towards her. The platinum haired girl decided to stand up a head to I different area when she was stopped.
"Weiss wait." The faunus said, as she caught up with her partner. "Weiss, I am so sorry, you are right, as I am not acting like a leader." As the faunus reaches up towards her mask, as she removes it. The silver eyes met sapphire eyes. Then she saw it, pure disappointment, which cut deep for the wolf. She wanted to say sorry, but knew that Weiss would not accept the apology. The red haired faunus sighed getting ready for what she had to say, "Weiss I'm sorry I am acting, you are right, I am the leader now and I need to start acting like it. I just don't think I am capable of the position."
"You dolt. You were the pinnacle of leadership back in those woods. You had us all working in perfect harmony on the first try. If it weren't for you I may have gotten us hurt or worse. You are a leader." Weiss exclaimed.
Ruby looked away in embarrassment, "You … you –sigh- Weiss, I am scared. I have all of your lives in my hands and I don't think I am ready." Putting on her mask Reaper says, "So I will try to be the leader you see in me. Yet I wouldn't hurt to have someone to help me along the way."
The platinum haired girl smiles and says, "Sure, just as long as you are willing to learn."
10 weeks later
Reaper was getting ready for the fieldtrip the class was about to take, they were going to the forever fall forest. But the night before reaper saw Jaune sitting on the floor beside the door to his dorm. "Hey Jaune."
The blond was startled out of his thought process. Quickly looking up he saw Reaper standing over him. "oh hey Ruby…"
"It's Reaper remember."
Jaune sighed and continued, "The head master made a mistake, I…I, its complicated."
"Nope." The wolf said.
"What, what did you just say." The blond responded out of shock.
"Nope, it's not complicated. From the time I was assigned to my team, and you were assigned to yours, we had both proven that we are leaders. Tell me Jaune how did you fight when you were first with your team?" The wolf asked.
The man sighs before recalling the events in the ruins. "It happened like this…"
Ruins
Jaune yells out, "Nora, on your left."
Causing the ginger to see a claw make a swing at her, using her hammer she launches herself back. "Thanks Jaune, alright death stalker, get ready to feel the pain." Nora spins her hammer around her arm converting her hammer into a grenade launcher. Firing rounds at the grimm but to no avail, as the grimm kept on coming.
As Jaune, Pyrrah and Nora were focused on the grimm, as they saw something jump on to the stinger. Or more like someone. Once everyone noticed that Ren was now firing on the creature's stinger, they saw the appendage start to loosen. Jauns was able to recognize that and said, "Ren get clear. Pyrrah." Both individuals getting the idea.
Ren jumped off the stinger while Pyrrah threw her spear at it cutting off and piercing the grimm in the head. Before noticing that the grimm was starting to swing its claws around wildly. Jaune looks at Ren, "Ren get the right claw, I got the left." Before shouting, "Nora!"
"Got it." the ginger says as she launches herself at Pyrrah. Landing on her shield and fired, causing the ginger to fly up in the air. As she fell she aimed herself at the stinger causing the thing to go deeper into the grimms brain. As the grimm died the team stood together.
