RWBY: The Chronicles of Beacon Academy - chapter 3, team JNPR

Salutations people of the internet! Here we are at chapter 3, not really got a lot to say here apart from the fact that I have had a request to make the chapters a bit longer, so I am going to try this and see how it goes. Depending on how long they are I might be publishing a new chapter every other day instead of every day, leave a review with your own opinions on length and anything else and I will speak to later, byeeeeeee.

"Um, hi guys..." said Blake, helplessly tangled.
"Blake, what the hell happened here?" Yang managed to stutter through her laughing.
"The string developed a conscience and tied me up"
"Uh-huh, did it now? So this has nothing to do with your adorable little cat ears?" Blake just stared, giving Yang intense evil eyes
"Can you just untie me please, then we can forget this ever happened." Yang gave one more short laugh before untying her faunus friend. After about five long minutes of fumbling around Yang finally managed to untie Blake and the team got ready to go out into the city.

In the end the girls decided not to eat out, and instead go down to the docks, sit on the edge by the water, watch the boats roll in and out silhouetted by the crimson sunset and chat about the upcoming tournament. After about half an hour of talking about different ways to use their weapons, the advantages and disadvantages of Variant Ballistic Chain Scythes, High-Calibre Sniper-Scythes, Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets, and Multi Action Dust Rapiers. All arguing about why their weapon of choice gave them the biggest chance of winning, they heard a voice from behind them.
"you know, I think Magnhild beats all of you"

Team RWBY jumped at the unexpected intrusion, Ruby almost falling in the water.
"Nora! Don't sneak up on us like that!" Nora gave a short laugh.
"Anyway what's this about a tournament?" She pressed.
"Well, Ozpin has decided to let us go to Mistral to partake in a combat tournament being held there in two weeks time."
"A tournament?! You're going to combat tournaments without us?! I'm hurt! Sad! Maybe a little hungry. That last one's not your fault..." In answer to this Yang piped up.
"Well, Ozpin also said we could take one team with us, speaking of which, where are Jaune, Pyrrha and Ren?"
"They're behind me, aren't they?" Nora spun round on the spot and gave a small groan when seeing the rest of her team was nowhere to be seen.
"Be right back!" She shouted as she started running back towards the town. About three minutes after Nora ran off, she had returned, this time with her team.
"Hey guys, Nora says you have something you want to tells us?" Jaune said with a hint of excitement in his voice. This time Ruby managed to get up without losing her balance and reply.
"Yeah! Now that you're all here, we had a talk with professor Ozpin earlier. He told us that to reward our help during the breach Torchwick caused he is allowing us, and one other team of our choosing, to go to Mistral and partake in a combat tournament taking place in two weeks time. We'll be travelling over there by airship two days before it's due to start, that gives us time to register ourselves, the weapons we'll be using, and also means we can explore Mistral for a bit!" Yang continued on for her sister.
"We've all decided that we want you guys to be the team joining us over there, you think you're up for it?"

Team JNPR just stood there, their faces an exact replica of the girls faces when they were first told. Par Jaune, who looked absolutely terrified.
"A combat tournament, where I take it combat means fighting..?"
"Shush Jaune, you'll be fine! We can get practise in before the event, although no matter how much any of you train, none of you guys stand a chance" Pyrrha said "I won the Mistral regional tournament four years in a row before coming to vale so um, good luck to you all." she finished off with a smug smile.
"Don't get cocky Pyrrha! Incase you've forgotten you've seen us fight but never actually fought us before. For all you know we could beat you" Weiss stated defensively.
"Maybe you could, I suppose we'll find out in two weeks."
"Yeah, I suppose we will, you better train hard with Miló and Akoúo̱ because I, for one, will not be going easy on you."
"The feelings neutral, get in as much practise as you can with Myrtenaster, you'll need it!" Before the two of them started 'practising' there and then Blake interrupted them alerting everyone of the time, and suggesting it may be time to head back to Beacon. Everyone agreed and the eight of them began heading back towards the academy.

When in the grounds Jaune, Pyhrra, Nora and Ren said goodnight and headed towards their dorms, before the four girls did the same, Yang suggested going to see Ozpin quickly to ask about taking time out of lessons to train. Blake agreed however Weiss was extremely tired and wanted to go straight back to the dorm room.
"How about you two go and see him and I'll walk back with Weiss, you can tell us what he said when you get back." Ruby suggested.
They all agreed and went in opposite directions.
On their way back to the room they started talking about possible changes that could be made in relation to it. Until Ruby was distracted by a single white rose sprouting out of the ground.
"Hey Weiss, look at this, I've never seen one before." Ruby said with curiosity in her voice.
"Not now Ruby, I'm tired, show me tomorrow. Weiss replied without turning. Ruby gave a short sigh and muttered a reluctant agreement before following the ice queen.

As the duo walked way from the rose, it began slowly turning a deep shade of red, as if someone was painting over it.
