Chapter Sixty-Five

Training for the Days

Schnee Manor

Both Ruby and Yang had just arrived in the mansion after they got summoned by Noir via his telepathy communicating thing. Ruby was a little curious about what was really going on thought she had a feeling that it had something to do with the strange people that attacked Yang the other day. It was one of the things that Weiss had been most curious about lately and she herself had been curious about it.

Noir had simply told them to come to the Manor because they had something to share and Ruby had a feeling that he isn't going to be talking about the holidays that had just come up. The girl arrived into the living room finding Weiss there along with Noir…

Ruby blinked.

A familiar Faunus girl was standing behind where Noir was seating with both of her arms crossed. Blake looked up toward their entrance but gave no sign of greeting but Ruby could see recognition flashing within their depths as she stared at them.

"Hey Weiss," Yang greeted, "Noir said it was something urgent."

Weiss glanced at them and Ruby instantly noticed that the white haired girl's expression was grave. There was a shadow over her eyes that seem to make her look older than before. But the white haired girl gave a small smile toward them.

"Yes," she said, "They have been some new development on the situation that we faced against a few days ago."

Yang frowned.

"You're talking about those two people we faced against?" she asked.

"Yes," Weiss said, "They come from an island known as Las Hazard from the intel Blake had managed to give to us and we have managed to identified someone that is possibly responsible for it. We've been ordered to prepare for the assault that will take place in two days."

Ruby was surprised.

"We're going to attack them?"

"Yes," Weiss said, "But we won't be alone…we will have support from the White Clan and you three are going to be my team when we are on the ground."

Yang was confused.

"Us three?"

"You, Blake, and Ruby," Weiss told her, "You'll be on the ground team with me."

"But what about you Noir?" Ruby asked, glancing at the young man, "You won't be with us?"

Noir shook his head, showing them his arm that was still in a sling.

"Sorry," he said, "But my arm is still recovering from that fight. I won't be much help out there if I even go in my state…it's why I trust Blake to be the one to go in my stead."

Yang stared at him, "I don't get it. Your arm hasn't healed yet?"

"Despite Sebastian's help…it just doesn't seem to be helping," Noir said looking down toward the arm he had in the sling, "So I'm going to have to seat this one out."

Weiss gave him a stare.

"It is a strange injury," she said, "But Blake will be more than enough to step in for him."

She turned her gaze toward her and Yang.

"This is probably going to be worse than the White Fang invasion," the white haired girl continued staring at them, "Thanks to Blake, we know that they are Grimm there but they are different than the ones you have been fighting against all this time and then, they are the two that you faced that day Yang and there is a good chance that they'll get involved in this battle as well."

Ruby glanced at her sister and noticed the dark look that crossed the blonde's face at that. Ruby remembered how injured Yang had been when she came back from that little mission that they have been sent to investigate that attack. Then a look of determination appeared in those violet eyes that she knows so well and the fury within their depths was enough to make Ruby shiver…

"I won't face defeat at the end of the same person twice," Yang said, "You can count on that."

Weiss nodded.

"Alright," she said standing up, "That was all I wanted to talk to you about anyway."

Yang stood up as well, "Hey Weiss, why did you drop out of Beacon?"

Weiss blinked as she glanced at the blonde.

"What?"

"Yeah, I just heard it from Eve and Sakura," Yang said, "You dropped out of the school and I haven't heard about it."

"I'm the Captain of the White Clan now," she said, "School isn't going to be helping me much in this situation so I dropped it. The only reason I took school was because of Sebastian and that I didn't have much to do. Now with this new responsibility my Father had placed upon me, I have no choice but to drop it."

"Are we going to have to drop out of school too?" Yang asked.

"I don't think uncle Qrow would approve," Ruby told her sister, "Beside we're not the leaders of anything actually."

Yang grimaced a little.

"Well that's probably true," she said, "But if we're going to be fighting in two days…I'm going to have to put a little training in to keep the blood flowing. Ruby you too, you need to get a little training on as well."

The young girl let out a sigh at this.

"Well, since school is on break for the winter holidays," she said, "I guess I could train as well with you."

Yang smirked.

"Then I will go alert the White Clan that we're set," Weiss smiled lightly as she stared at them, "Just don't go overboard with the training."

"Sure thing princess," Yang smiled at the white haired girl.

Weiss let out a sigh before walking out of the room leaving the girls along with Noir.

"If you're going to be training, then you're going to need that pocket dimension again," he said, "Well that much I can do."

"Great," Yang grinned, "Say Ruby want to do a little sparing."

"I won't be against it," Ruby said, "If you're so eager for it."

The two sisters followed after Noir and Blake simply quietly followed after the duo. They made their way out of the Manor and straight toward the little shed that stood not too far away from where they are and then Noir opened the door stepping into it.

Ruby and Yang followed after them and the large open area that was filled with the rock towers was across them and Ruby couldn't help but smirk lightly at the sight that had so many memories of them trying to master their Aura and be in control of it.

With a flash of light, Yang was dressed in her Huntress outfit with her gauntlets around her wrists as she was stretching. The blonde young woman turned toward Ruby who had also transformed with her red hood dancing behind her in the wind.

"C'mon little sis," Yang smirked, "Let's get to it."

Ruby raised a hand and then her weapon materialized in her hand. The large scythe glowed with her power as the small girl took her position so that she could get ready for the fight and then as if an unspoken agreement, the two launched at each other and Ruby's scythe launches straight at her but Yang managed to dodge the attack.

"Eh…You're wide open," Yang said launching a fist forward.

Only for rose petals to dance in front of her as Ruby disappeared in a burst of speed causing surprise to appear upon Yang's features. She had seen Ruby move before but actually seeing it like that, it took a by surprise a little bit.

The blonde girl turned toward where her sister was, was hit straight into the stomach by the next attack Ruby had launched at her. The blonde was pushed backward as she crouched down against the floor, gazing up at Ruby who was spinning her scythe in her hand.

"Crimson Wave," she yelled.

The wave of concentrated Aura aimed straight toward Yang who stood there letting the attack hit her head on causing the girl to yell out in pain as the blast exploded the area around the blonde. Ruby's eyes went wide with horror at what she had just done staring at the destruction in front of her. As the smoke dissipated, Yang was still standing there though she had flames growing around her body from where she stood.

"Yang…," Ruby asked shocked.

The blonde girl smirked before releasing her full Aura causing the air around her to shake as a tall pillar of flames danced around her body. Her Aura was causing the very air around her to catch fire and Ruby was surprised at the amount of power that Yang had. She knew that Yang had been training since they came back but she hadn't expected her to be this strong already.

"Want to continue?" Yang asked her.

Ruby couldn't help the excitement that was running through her body as she stared at her sister and she took her stance with her scythe, her own Aura shining around her body as it grew higher. The two sisters stared at each other for a moment longer before the two of them clashed against each other causing a large wind to blow around the area they were in, knocking down some of the stone pillars that were around them.


On the sideline, Blake was staring at the two fights with a curious look in her eyes. She was looking at the two girls that were battling against each other and just as she was observing the two had grown stronger since the last time she had seen them. The golden eyes were fixed upon the two and couldn't really hide her surprise with how powerful they are.

"These two…they're stronger than when I saw them last time," she said.

Noir who was standing beside her was staring at the two as well.

"Weiss was right about one thing," he said, "They did have a lot of untapped potential. They managed to clear the Aura Sphere training in just a couple of weeks. Not only that, they learned the name of their Soul Weapon in just three days time of training."

Blake gave him a stare almost as if she thought he was joking but Noir was completely serious.

"I don't think I ever heard of a Grimm Slayer being able to do something like this," she said.

"No one has," Noir said, "These two girls…they're quite something."

Blake stared at the two in front of her for a few moments.

"How did they get involved into all of this?" she asked.

Noir let out a soft hum.

"Weiss realized that they had Aura large enough to be Huntresses," he said, "She wasn't going to get them involved at all but then…they were attacked by Grimm at their own house. Of course Weiss saw to that they were taken care off but then even more Grimm attacked considering someone was weakening the veil around here so that they could open a Doorway."

Blake looked down.

"So it's my fault then," she murmured.

"I never said that it was," Noir told her, "Weiss didn't seem to blame you for it either, so how about we leave thing just where they need to be…in the past."

Blake glanced at him for a few moments before turning her gaze back toward the two dueling sisters. Her golden eyes were glazed as she thought about the white haired girl. She couldn't understand that girl at all. Back then when she was part of the White Fang, it was easier to hate someone when you thought that they were all the same one-dimensional person. But, the more she learn about Weiss, the more layers that Blake has started to see…and each time a layer is unveiled, the girl seems to be unable to understand just who Weiss Schnee was.

"I don't know why she even decided to let me go during the invasion at all," she said frowning, "I mean…I only asked her so that I could help Penny and I thought she was going to refuse but she accepted."

"That's Weiss's way of giving you a chance," Noir told her, drawing the girl's attention toward him, "While words are good way to assure someone that you are on their side, Weiss wants to see if your actions reflect that same passion."

"Did she did something like that with you?" Blake asked her.

Noir nodded.

"Yeah…she did," he said.

A sudden explosion drew their attention forward again. A large number of pillars had crumbled from an attack as Ruby landed down upon the ground in a crouch. Her clothes were ripped a few ways and the girl was holding her Scythe using the weapon to slow her movements. Blake was surprised to see the smirk that was upon the younger girl's face as her silver eyes seems to glow with excitement.

"Hey you two take it easy," Noir yelled out, "Don't forget we have an operation in two days."

Ruby gave only a nod to show that she had heard him before disappearing from sight with a burst of speed leaving behind a few rose petals. Blake stared at the girl as she went against her sister again and she couldn't help but be impressed at them.

Look like I am going to have some allies in getting you back Penny, she thought.

"They're quite something aren't they?" a familiar voice spoke out from beside her.

Blake turned her attention toward it and found Weiss standing there. The girl had both of her arms crossed upon her chest as she was staring forward at Ruby and Yang who were training for battle. Blake was surprised that the girl had managed to sneak up on her without her even knowing about it. She turned her attention toward the dueling sisters.

"You've trained them well," she said.

Weiss actually laughed at that.

"I barely did anything," she said, "These two have a lot of natural talents. If they had been trained since a young age like I was, they would probably even more formidable than I am."

Blake frowned lightly as she stared at the two girls. She could see that the white haired girl was right in a way. Ruby and Yang were both stupidly powerful from what she had been observing from them.

"What are you doing here?" Noir asked giving the white haired girl a glance, "Did you finish what you were going to do earlier?"

Weiss nodded.

"Yes, everything is set for two days," she said, "Even so…Blake, can you follow me?"

The Faunus girl glanced at her, surprised, "What?"

"I want to get some training done too," Weiss said, "Out of everyone here, you're the one that is close to my level."

Blake stared at her completely taken aback by the revelation but she stood up and followed after Weiss. As she was walking, Weiss clothes had transformed into the black robes she wore the last time they faced off. The two left the area Ruby and Yang was fighting in before coming to stop by a few stone pillars.

Weiss turned toward her and pulled out her sword from the sheath that was upon her waist. The katana gleamed lightly as she was releasing her Aura and Blake pulled out her own sword, the dark haired girl frowning lightly at her.

"Why do you want to fight against really?" Blake asked a light frown upon her face.

Weiss smiled.

"I had seen how powerful you were when we fought against each other when you tried to kill me," she said, "I want to see if anything had changed since then…but don't worry we won't be going as overboard like last time, just some light training to get to blood flowing and get ourselves ready for what will happen when we attack Las Hazard."

Blake let out a soft sigh before nodding to her.

"Alright," she said.

Weiss nodded at her before charging straight at Blake. The dark haired girl stayed on her as Weiss reached her and at that time, she used Gambol Shroud ability creating a clone in her place as Weiss attacked her. Having an opening, Blake struck the white haired girl but her sword came in contact with the sheath causing her to blink in surprise.

The girl then jumped backward at that and noticed that Weiss was holding both her sheath and her Soul Weapon. The white haired girl gave a light smirk probably at the surprise that was upon her face and Blake couldn't hide it. It wasn't every day that someone managed to counter that attack. The dark haired girl didn't know why but somehow…an strange excitement was coursing through her.

She chuckled to herself before her Aura started to glow around her body similar to how Weiss was doing, as ice was slowly appearing on the ground around them. Then with a yell, the two young women launched at each other and their attack collided against each other causing a explosion in the middle of the place they were fighting in.


Noir turned his gaze away from Ruby and Yang's battle sensing both Blake and Weiss's Aura. They were fighting as well and it seem that Weiss had the right idea in getting some training done in preparation for the big assault that they were going to do on Las Hazard. Noir let out a small chuckle as where he was seating.

Well…everyone is training, he thought, Let's hope that everything go well for them…

Everyone is prepping up for the upcoming assault...

Next Time: Day of the Dead
