Here's chapter 36 everyone.


"Can we just agree that some of the classes at Beacon are kinda boring? Seriously, I get we gotta learn some things here and there, but do you see any huntresses or huntsman out in the field fighting Grimm with books?" Yang said while eating a bagel.

"You question that when we live in a world where almost anything can be a gun?" Blake said as she sipped some tea. "It would surprise me more if I didn't see someone with that kind of thing."

Weiss was barely paying attention to the conversation, since her mind was on Velvet. "Your tea is gonna get cold, Weiss." Ruby said, snapping the heiress out of it.

"Hmm?" Weiss looked back at her cup of coffee. "What were you saying, Ruby?"

"I was telling you that your tea was getting cold." Ruby said again, and wondered why her partner was drifting off that much.

Weiss lifted the cup of tea and took a sip. "It's not cold, but thank you for reminding me about it."

Ruby was a little taken aback. "Oh, you're welcome, Weiss." Ruby took a bite of a cookie she bought and noticed that Weiss was looking out the window after sipping her tea. She didn't bother to say she looked distracted again though.

"So, what's on your mind, Weissy?" Yang suddenly asked, doing what Ruby was avoiding.

Weiss looked back again. "What? Did you say something, Yang?"

"I asked what's on your mind, but it's looking like your mind is wandering more than anything at this point." Yang noted.

"Sorry…um, I don't really have much to say to be honest." Weiss felt a little embarrassed at admitting that, since she was just thinking about seeing Velvet again.

Blake didn't pay too much attention to that, since she was still a little annoyed with what Weiss said about the White Fang earlier.

"Oh, well how about we talk a little about what kind of missions we'd like to go on once we're allowed to? I'm more of a search and destroy kind of fighter. Strike at a point to move some Grimm out the way and all that." Yang said.

"I don't tend to think of the type of mission I'd like to be on. We're huntresses in training. Whatever mission I am given, I will do my best to carry it out." Weiss answered in a proud like tone, though she didn't like it.

"Uh, okay. Well, I was more asking how you felt about certain missions…but I guess we could talk about something else." Yang replied, clearly unsure of what to say.

Blake spoke up. "Ruby, didn't you say something about students coming over to Vale from the other kingdoms?"

"Huh?" Ruby responded and saw that Blake was trying to lead her to another conversation to move the awkward one along. "Right! Um, so maybe we should…go see them?" She asked and Blake simply nodded.

"Didn't you say you had no plans for today? What is this so all of a sudden?" Weiss questioned.

"Uh…I don't know, but does it matter? We've got more to do now." Ruby said with a smile, not letting the heiress see how unprepared she really was for the day.

Weiss rolled her eyes at her response. "Well I'd rather not jump to a new activity so soon. We've spent maybe fifteen minutes here."

"And you haven't made much conversation this entire time except right now, so come on, Weissy. Let's just get outside and enjoy the day." Yang suggested while finishing her bagel.

The heiress didn't feel like arguing, so she just sighed and got up from her seat. "Fine, but when are we heading back to Beacon?"

Blake spoke up. "Like you said, it hasn't been too long since we got here. You shouldn't worry about heading back to school so quickly."

"I didn't see you rushing for the airship when Ruby said we were doing this team day." Weiss noted in an annoyed tone, seeing as she took what Blake said as offensive more than anything.

"Weiss, is this really the time to argue?" Blake questioned as she got up and left the money for her order.

The heiress groaned and got up from her where she was sitting. "Fine, let's just get this over with." She handed Ruby some lien for what she ordered, and then walked out of the coffee shop.

Yang walked out after her after leaving her money with Ruby. "Weiss, wait up!" She ran over and saw that the heiress was looking at her scroll. "Whatcha doing?" Weiss held up her hand away from herself to tell Yang to wait while using her other hand to text Velvet. "Uh…okay, I guess I'll just wait then."

As Blake and Ruby walked outside, Weiss put her scroll away. "Shall we get a move on then?" She smiled, which confused the others, since just a few moments ago, the heiress seemed more annoyed than anything.

"Uh, yes?" Ruby walked over and waved her hand a few times in front of Weiss.

"What in the world are you doing?" Weiss backed away, not enjoying how close Ruby got when she waved her hand over her face.

"It's just kinda weird. You didn't seem all that excited for the rest of team day…but now you're smiling." Ruby explained.

Yang wrapped an arm around Ruby to interrupt. "Come on, Rubes, let's just take what we can get with a smiley Weissy. It's a rare sight after all." She chuckled and heard the heiress groaning at that.

"It's a rarer sight to see you paying attention in class, so shut it and someone lead the way already." Weiss ordered.

Ruby jumped forward, making Weiss take a step back. "I'll do it!" She exclaimed and looked around for where the docks were. "Oh, and do you think some of them will be from Atlas? You might know someone from there, Weiss."

"I highly doubt that, since I chose not to go to Atlas for my training. If anyone from Atlas recognizes me though, then I suppose that I can attempt to speak to them about…what is it you were implying to talk about?" Weiss inquired.

"I've wanted to know what it's like from other schools. Do you know anything about Atlas' school?" Ruby asked her partner.

"Enough to know that I would rather train at Beacon. If you want more details, don't expect to get much from me, Ruby. I'd rather not talk about a place that is not only run by the general of the Atlas military, but goes by a certain standard that even I don't wish to follow." Weiss explained.

Yang raised an eyebrow. "Damn, that sounds like…not a whole lot a fun. I mean, I don't really know much about it and all, but you'd think a school meant to train students to fight monsters would be fun."

Weiss shrugged. "Again, I'd rather not discuss any more about this."

"Then we won't. Let's make this team day one we won't forget." Ruby smiled and took Weiss' hand, getting a confused look from the heiress. "I just wanted to show you that I'm not trying to do anything stupid. I really do want us to have a great day."

Weiss looked down at her hand in Ruby's and imagined it was Velvet holding her hand, but then she thought about how she probably wouldn't even be out in public like that. It made her hate herself, but Weiss didn't want to think about that. "Yes, well if that's what you honestly want to do, then let's get going." Weiss said and Ruby walked her to the docks.

Blake looked at the two and looked back at the coffee shop for a moment. "Yang, did you see anyone over there?"

"Huh?" Yang looked over at the coffee shop and didn't see anyone that stood out. "Who am I looking for here, Blake?"

"I just…thought I saw a boy over there watching us." Blake glared at the spot and shook her head. "Maybe it was just someone looking over at the wrong time. Come on," Blake turned and followed Ruby and Weiss.

Yang stood there for a moment and kept staring at the spot, wondering if what Blake saw was actually something. "She says it was nothing, but still." Yang turned around to follow as well, but she made sure to check behind her every now and then to see if someone was following them.


"Velvet, come on. Weiss will be back in a few hours, so don't be all down about it." Coco said as she was trying to get her teammate out of bed.

"I really wanted to spend time with her today though." Velvet's ears were drooped, since she was clearly sad about not having Weiss around her at the moment.

"Well how about we do a bit of training? That way we can get your mind off your rich girl." Coco suggested while picking up her handbag. "And don't get all defensive about saying your girl. No one is in the room right now except for us."

"I'm not really in the mood for training right now, Coco." Velvet replied while sighing.

Coco hated seeing Velvet feeling down and out. "Well maybe you can call her then. At least that way you can see her on a video call."

Velvet shook her head. "Blake is with them right now. If I call her on video call, it might be suspicious to her, and she doesn't know about Weiss and I yet."

"Hmm, well how about just a message then? Ooh, or even a picture. That should make you feel better to see your rich girl." Coco smirked.

Velvet let out a smile at that, but she shook her head again. "I messaged her already. She said they're going to meet up with students that are coming from the other kingdoms."

"Sounds like fun." Coco remarked. "So tell me, Vel. What can we do today to make you feel better? If there's anything you wanna do, then let me at least try to help with it."

Velvet sat up on her bed. "T-There is something I do want a little help with." She blushed and Coco was a little surprised by that. "C-Could…could you give me dating advice?"

Coco blinked a few times, taking in what her teammate just requested. After a couple of seconds, the fashionista burst out laughing and fell on the floor, rolling around in joy.

"Coco! This isn't funny!" Velvet's ears drooped and her blush reddened. "Stop laughing!"

Tears were forming in Coco's eyes as she couldn't hold back the continued laughter. After a few moments of it though, she started to calm down. "Vel…Vel you need to never make me laugh like that again." She sat up on the ground and wiped away a few of her tears of laughter. "Wow," She then looked over and saw an angered rabbit Faunus. "Wait…you were serious about that?"

Velvet just sat there and growled at her. "Yes! I wasn't expecting you to laugh at me for it!"

Coco felt a little bad about that, so she got up from the floor and walked over to sit next to the rabbit Faunus. "Look, I didn't think you were serious about it was because you don't need my advice. I mean, you already got someone you care about."

Velvet sighed. "I know…but I was asking for dating advice, Coco. You know, like how to plan for a date, and where I could take her if we go on one…I just don't know much on that."

Coco wrapped her arm around Velvet and chuckled. "Just don't stress out on where to take her, or how it might go. You just have to remember that you'll be with her, and she'll be with you. That's the best part about a date. Spending time with the person you care about."

Velvet's ears perked up at the thought of her and Weiss spending a day together, but another question did need to be asked. "What if I want to do something that will really make her happy?"

"You mean icing on the cake?" Coco thought about it for a moment. "Hmm, Weiss will probably appreciate that. And hey, moments can be made on the fly or be planned for. So, yeah, if you got an idea, go for it."

"Well, I'll need to think about something she'll really like to do." Velvet took a breath and got up from her bed. "Okay, I'll think about it more today."

Coco was glad to see her friend finally getting out of bed, so she followed her by getting up too. "Sounds good, Vel. So, anything you wanna do today while you think of your date idea?"

"I don't mind training now…I just needed a wakeup call is all." Velvet said as she was also thinking about what she and Weiss could do for a date.

"Awesome!" Coco grabbed Velvet's hand. "Let's see how good you've gotten with my minigun. It'll be a hell of a show for anyone who might be around."

Velvet chuckled at that and allowed her friend to drag her over to the training room, though she was a tad bit worried about the possible damage that may come from having two huntresses in training sparring with miniguns.


"Oh, uh, those uniforms are…kinda boring…though kinda stylish too I guess." Yang said as she watched some of the students from the other kingdoms arriving via boat. "You know, I thought they'd arrive on an airship."

"Some of them will." Blake spoke up. "Getting to Vale isn't too hard either way."

Weiss looked around and noticed that the boats that were bringing the students in seemed a bit more expensive looking than some of the others. "And that boat is most likely bringing in students from Atlas. At least the ones who didn't choose or couldn't show up by an airship."

"Wow, they get to ride in all fancy like." Yang noted.

Ruby was being taking in all the sights of weapons that the students had. "Oh wow! This has got to be the best part about people showing up!"

Yang playfully rolled her eyes at that. "Remember, sis. You shouldn't just look at the weapon a person carries around with them. You gotta look at what kind of person they are too. Or else the badass weapon that may be cool is really just in the hands of some jerk."

Blake raised an eyebrow. "That was surprisingly the right thing to be said from you."

Yang shrugged. "I know when to say things, and I know when to have some fun. Anyways, I'm being serious here. Don't go crazy for a weapon someone has until you know they're actually decent people, sis."

Ruby frowned at that, since her joy from seeing weapons was mostly from how she didn't have to worry about meeting someone. "O-Okay, but I still think it's really cool to see all the variety of weapons."

A variety of weapons reminded Weiss of Velvet and her weapon. "Well, Velvet has a lot of options herself after all."

Ruby and Yang knew why the heiress would bring up Velvet specifically and chuckled a bit at that. "Yeah, she does have a lot of variety." Yang noted. "So, are we gonna meet any of these people, or are we just staring at them for the rest of the day?"

"That depends on whether you all feel like-." Before she could finish her sentence, Weiss yelped when she felt a banana peel being thrown on her head. "Gah! What in the world?!" She growled and grabbed the banana peel out of her hair and looked around for who threw it, while Ruby and Yang were giggling at how that just happened. "Who threw this?!"

Blake was the only one who didn't laugh a bit at that, since she was looking around for who might've thrown the banana peel. "Woops! Sorry about that!" The girls looked up and saw a boy with a yellow tail balancing himself on a light post. "I really wasn't aiming for you down there."

Weiss growled as she glared at the blonde Faunus. "You shouldn't be throwing banana peels from the top of a light post in the first place! Now get down from there!"

"Whoa, chill out there. I was just taking in the sights Vale has to offer." The Faunus boy replied while taking a quick glance at Blake.

Blake spoke up. "Enough with you following us. Yes, I noticed at one point, though I thought it was nothing at first, seeing you now proves I wasn't just seeing things."

The blonde monkey Faunus scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "So you saw me, huh?" He jumped down from the light post. "Well, I guess my stealth is still kinda garbage."

"Why were you following us, you hooligan?!" Weiss exclaimed while trying her best to clean out the bits of banana that may be on her hair.

"I'll say it again. Chill out there. I'm from a different kingdom and I noticed you guys walking around, so I thought I'd check out what people from Vale are like." The boy replied. "Oh, I'm Sun by the way."

Blake took a step forward. "Stop lying. I want to know the real reason why you were following us."

Sun was surprised by that and he looked up at her bow. "What do you mean? I'm not-." He stopped when he saw how serious Blake was, so he sighed. "Alright…I was just running from the cops earlier cause I snuck on one of those boats. My team wasn't gonna be here for another few weeks, so I hopped on to get here quicker. And I noticed something about your little group that caught my attention."

Blake wanted to know exactly what he saw at that point. "And what would that be?"

Sun looked over her shoulder at the others and knew he couldn't exactly say why right in front of them, so he took a moment to quickly eye up and down Blake's bow to show her what he meant. It didn't take long for Blake to catch on, and her eyes widened at that. "Uh, well I just noticed you guys looked kinda like a bunch of students from Beacon." He was keeping things under wraps for Blake.

"And what pointed that out?" Yang asked in a sarcastic tone as she had her gauntlets on.

Blake spoke up. "I think it would be best for you to stay away from us…" Ruby, Weiss and Yang were surprised with her response, and Sun was taken aback by that. "There's no reason for you to sneak around like you have, so please, leave us alone."

Sun scratched the back of his head again and sighed. "I mean, if that's what you want, then-."

"Hey!" The sound of a police officer shouting was heard and everyone turned to see him. "Stay right where you are!"

Sun groaned and looked to Blake. "Well, you get your wish. See ya later!" Sun started running off, but let out a smile at Blake as he went past her.

Blake was surprised by that and the police officers ran past her and the rest of her team to chase after the monkey Faunus.

As the others turned to watch Sun running off, Weiss rolled her eyes at that. "Ugh, well there goes that hooligan." She sighed when she went up to see if her hair was cleaned out. "And now I need a shower…When can we go back to Beacon?"

Yang patted Weiss' shoulder. "Just a bit longer. We still got the rest of the day to go. And since that didn't exactly work out as well…even though it was kinda funny," Weiss groaned at that. "We should probably find something else to do."

Blake wasn't paying much attention to her team, since her thoughts were on the monkey Faunus still. "Blake?" Ruby poked her arm.

"Huh?" Blake's attention was brought back to her team.

"You were spacing out." Ruby replied. "You okay?"

"Yeah…what are we doing now?" Blake asked, not wanting to show that she was thinking about the monkey Faunus.

Yang shrugged. "Go with the flow, and maybe get Weissy some shampoo and conditioner." The blonde chuckled and looked over to see the heiress was holding her hand out to use a glyph on her. "Uh…whatcha doing there, Weissy?"

"You have five seconds…" Weiss warned her and watched as the blonde took off, but Weiss didn't care, as she soon followed behind with her glyph still ready to be used.

Ruby chuckled as she watched her sister running off from Weiss, and she looked to Blake. "You wanna follow them?"

"Uh, yeah, sure." Blake walked with Ruby to follow the two, but she still thought about how Sun was able to figure out her bow was hiding her ears.


Yeah…I know. Another long wait. Not much I can say in terms of why this took so long to get back to it. Still, for those who didn't know, we (Legion 205) had a 25 hour livestream for Extra Life and damn it was fun and very tiring. We managed to raise 590 dollars for the charity event. So that is pretty damn awesome. We might be doing another one next year as well, so thank you to those who came by to watch, and I hope you guys will be able to show up for the possible next one we do next year.

If you wish to support me on Pátreon, you can find me on there as ShadowNightblade.

To JJ- Thanks for understanding that it will take time for updates to happen sometimes. And yes, the cuddles are great to write, as well as the times Coco gets to tease them. Thanks again, and I will keep doing what I can for my stories.

I hoped you all enjoyed 36. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 37.
