I was scared. I didn't let it show that I was but I was terrified. I had just run away from the White Fang because they had gone from protesters to extremists. Now I was going to use what I had learned from the White Fang for good. I walked in and Ozpin was giving his grand speech about what we can do in the world as huntsmen and huntresses. I was determined to do my best and to make sure that no one ever forced me into a decision again. I walked around the campus to learn what it was like as a battleground. I guess old habits die hard. When I was scouting around I saw three people clearly dressed to try to intimidate. They were bullies and I hate bullies, so I decided to go over and teach them a lesson. This was the start of me using my knowledge for good. I walked over and played the damsel.
"Maybe you boys can protect me." I falsely whimpered.
"Yea we can," said one very eagerly. "But who from?"
I draw my weapon behind their backs and whisper "me." They soon catch on and all three-start rushing at me weapons drawn trying to strike. I predicted this and had attached my ribbon to a rock as soon as I had decided to teach them a lesson. Just as they were about to hit me I shot at the Rock and caused it to fall and me to rise just as the bullies collided. I used their own strength against them I used their power against them. I walked off before they started attacking me. After I left I found a good spot to read. I glanced over and heard a girl wearing a red cape and hood arguing with a girl in white. I just ignored them like I usually do until a bottle of red dust landed at my feet. I was annoyed now as I approached. Before I could speak the girl in red said to the girl in white "hey I said I was sorry princess!"
I informed the girl in red "its heiress actually. Weiss Schnee heiress to the Schnee dust company one of the largest propellant in the world. I wanted this chick in red to know who she was dealing with.
Weiss said "finally some recognition." She was clearly impressed with me, which is not what I was aiming for, so I changed my stance: "the same company infamous for its controversial labour forces and questionable business partners." Weiss stuttered and said "what... How dare you." She was clearly not used to being contradicted. I left having shown these two girls that I shouldn't be messed with. I finished scouting the area and went into the courtyard and heard Ozpin giving his speech one last time before we all headed off to bed. I got changed then spent most of my time reading when I realised that the girl in red was clearly upset. I tentatively approached her. I hadn't made the best first impression leaving her alone there.
"Hello, I'm Blake, what's your name?" I could use some friends around here.
She responded sobbing "Ruby"
"Why are you upset?" I asked her cautiously.
Between sobs she said "because I was going to write a letter to my Dad but he basically disowned me when I came here."
I asked the obvious question, "why?"
She told me "Ozpin gave me some conditions for coming to this school two years early. My dad disagreed and told me I couldn't go but I still fulfilled the conditions."
I was horrified at this. If the White Fang had taught me anything it's that you shouldn't be forced into decisions. "That's horrible" I told her
"You really think so" she asked looking slightly more hopeful
"Of course! No one should try to control someone's life." I told her
"I also fell out with my sister because she thought I should have done what Dad said."
I told Ruby "I can't be a sister but I can try being a good friend to you"
I sat on her end next to her as Weiss Schnee and a girl wearing yellow pj's approached. Weiss said "how dare you disobey your father like that! You should be ashamed of yourself. The girl in yellow said "listen to her sis. She's right." I had heard enough and I knew it was time to stand up for Ruby before she went home due to the pressure. "Can I ask you, who were the conditions presented to?" I directed the question at the girl in yellow pj's who I had identified as Ruby's sister.
"Ruby" she told me.
"So that means that it's Ruby's decision does it not?" I asked the two of them
"No her father should decide this!" Weiss replied
"Why? I asked "because he's older, he has more power?"
"Come on Yang" Weiss said "she's clearly on team Ruby.
"Do you know what that stuff about teams is Ruby?" I asked her.
"No" she replied now much more cheerful "thanks for standing up for me back there."
"No problem," I told her "it's the first step of being a good friend.
