Author's Note (more at the end) -
I promise to keep this brief at the start. BUT this chapter is gonna be a long one. So I hope you all enjoy. I can make the chapters shorter in the future(if you all would prefer that) but there was a lot I wanted to write. Let me know if you like how long this chapter is and maybe I can see about it in the future. Without further ado. Enjoy!
'BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!'
Whitley's eyes opened up slowly to the sound of the alarm waking from his new bed. Finally getting a decent night's sleep. He tried to lean up only to find something on him. He sighed as he looked down to see Neo lying with her arm over him. His face got flush as he pushed her off immediately.
"NEO!" He shouted as the twins snapped awake. Their shirts riding up their bodies as they rubbed their tired eyes awake. Stomachs showing as Neo staggered standing up.
"Sk-" -YAWN- "Sky boy what are you like doing yelling so early in the morning?" Miltia asked as Melanie was just leaned up with a bed head glaring at him with a look that could kill.
He started thinking back over what happened yesterday that led to this situation of sharing a room with three girls.
'We took the initiation test… grabbing chess pieces that put us on a team together. Team Dorms are intergender… I fought against it. Glynda just scowled at me and I lost the argument being hushed and told this is a learning experience. The girls just laughed at me… Then we all went to sleep in our own beds…'
"Neo… Why were you in my bed!?" He shouted once more, not caring about the neighbors.
"Stop yelling!" Melanie shouted at him with a tired glare.
He sighed before looking at the ice cream girl who was scowling at him, throwing her hands around like crazy as if she was yelling at him for pushing her onto the floor.
"Ok ok… Neo, why did you sleep in my bed with me again." Whitley asked, looking her dead in the eyes as she just pouted and turned her head upward as if she didn't need to answer that question.
"Again…?" Miltia asked as a yawn escaped past her lips as she stood up and walked over to her dresser pulling out her school uniform and stripping off her pajama shirt.
"Ah Miltia warn me next time!" He turned his head away quickly.
"Why? So you can know when to watch?" She teased him as her bottoms came off next as she put her underwear and bra on before putting the school uniform on. It looked very sloppy as if she didn't care.
"N- No! So I know when to look away…" He was flustered as Neo just snickered and stood in front of him using her semblance to make herself look like Miltia in her underwear. She then faked screamed covering up her body. No noise came from her mouth. "NEO STOP THAT!"
Neo just snickered before something impacted the back of his head causing him to fall to the ground. Melanie stood over him as he looked up, seeing her hold her foot in the air.
"I said… STOP YELLING!" Melanie shouted at him. Clearly she was not a morning person.
He just sighed standing up seeing Miltia finished getting dressed. He walked over to her and just grumbled. "Miltia… your uniform." He said, grabbing it, fixing the ribbon around her neck to be under the collar. "No one on my team is gonna look uncouth." He grumbled as he patted out the creases in her blazer.
Melanie scowled as she just walked over to her own dresser and stripped just as well putting on her clothes as Whitley turned flushed. She glared at him "Stop staring…" She growled as he immediately turned around only to come face to face with a naked Neo who was also getting dressed. She just smirked and started to giggle at him as he covered his face as fast as he could.
'This… is gonna take some adjusting…'
"So like… are you gonna get dressed for class Sky Boy?" Miltia asked. He didn't realize he could get even more embarrassed but he could as he turned even redder as he just nodded his head walking over to his dresser before pulling out his articles of clothing and his cravat his mother gave him.
"Finesse and elegance…" He mumbled to himself as he took off his clothes leaving him in his underwear before he looked over his shoulder. Melanie wasn't looking; she was fixing her hair and applying makeup. Miltia was taking glances but mostly yawning as she grabbed her own makeup kit. Neo however… was just outright looking at him with disrespect. Still not even fully dressed just in her skirt and bra with a wide eyed grin. "Er- Ne- Neo can you plea-"
"Oh for the love of…" Melanie slammed down her hairbrush, walked over to him and just pulled off his underwear. Put his new pair in his hands and glared at him. "Stop making this such a big deal and get dressed we're gonna be late for classes." She snarled at him before turning and walked away back to finish her makeup as Miltia and Neo both looked at him with wide eyes before Miltia went immediately to do her own makeup with a flush red face.
"Like, so bold Melanie." Miltia teased her sister.
"Don't have time to baby around this. We're gonna be seeing each other naked a lot." She glanced at him as he pulled his fresh underwear and pants on. "It's not a big deal…" Her face going red.
He finally finished getting his school shirt and jacket on before grabbing his cravat and wrapping it around his neck and putting the brooch in. "El- Elegance and finesse… A Schnee must have these qualities…" He spoke to himself, his face as red as the gem in the brooch.
He looked at Neo who had finished getting dressed as well before giggling at him pointing downward at him. He looked to where she was pointing and saw his fly was down. He pulled that up with a loud zipping noise.
The girls had put down their makeup brushes and hair brushes. Miltia put her red feather clip in her hair pulling some of it from her eyes. While Melanie did the same with a white flower clip. "You ready to go Sky Boy?" Miltia asked as they stood up waiting at the door for him.
"Erm.. right right. Yes. Let's go Team WMMN." He began walking towards the door as Neo stepped in front of him and scowled before she lifted her hands up and began styling his hair like yesterday morning. "... Thanks." He said as she looked at him with a proud smile.
He pulled open the door to see his sister standing right in front of him. This was not good.
[/]
Neo finished styling and parting his hair to her liking. Then she saw the door open to find the boy's sister and the rest of their team standing there. Like they had been waiting for a while. She scowled at them.
"Whitley, do you have any idea how much trouble we're gonna get into!?" She yelled at him before his face grimaced and he looked at her with a sad expression before sighing.
"Dear sister, now is not a good time. We have class to get to." Whitley said, trying to walk past her only for her to step in front of the door.
"Not until you tell me what you're doing here. You're supposed to be back home!" She wasn't taking no for an answer. This annoyed Neo. Then Melanie stepped forward next.
"He doesn't need to answer if he doesn't want to, princess." Melanie spoke up glaring at the Heiress. The next one to speak was the blondie that snapped.
"Shut up! You don't get a say in sibling matters hussy!" The blonde chick glaring at Melanie. This made Neo just giggle.
"I'll have you know I have better standards then you blonde brute bimbo. At least I don't go around grabbing men's junk that are out of my league. Hmph." She then pushed Weiss aside grabbing Whitley trying to pull him through.
"Not so fast" "WHAT DID YOU SAY" The heiress and blonde girl yelled as the short one in red jumped between them.
"Aaah Guys please calm down. We're not here to cause a fight!" The girl with black red hair spoke before looking at them all.
"I'm so sorry.. Weiss wanted to speak to her brother because she didn't know he was gonna be here." She bowed her head to them in apology.
"RUBY!" Weiss shouted at her partner "Don't apologize I just think my twin owes me an answer on why he wouldn't tell me!" Weiss glaring at her brother. Finally Neo had enough and stood in the middle of the group. A pout and scowl on her face as if to say back off.
"Neo… Melanie, it's fine." Whitley sighed
"Like want me to cut them up Sky Boy?" Miltia asked and he just shook his head.
"No… Look. Dear Sister." He regained his composure as he placed his hand on his chest. "Mother approved of me attending Beacon about a month ago and signed off on me going. I didn't say because of worry of father finding out. By now he's probably tearing apart every school trying to find me." He explained. Looking at her glare. "I'm gonna be a huntsman, a hero, the proper heir to the company. I'm still taking my private tutoring. Mom has set up the classes to be online now for me."
"Still that doesn't make it right and besides didn't you always call being a huntsman or soldier barbaric?" Weiss asked in a tone that was mixed with concern.
Neo just looked back at Whitley with a wonder on her face as to why he did come to beacon if that was the case. It didn't exactly line up if those were his goals not to mention taking more classes on top of his school work? He was gonna be working himself to the bone. Neo wasn't sure if she was concerned or impressed by that as she began to tap her chin.
"Please" Melanie scoffed. "Our fighting is far from barbaric like you lot that just force things." Melanie smiled. "Our leader here was able to use… what's the terminology he used all morning?" A smirk on her face as she looked at her sister. "Elegance and Finesse." Miltia finished.
"Right. I'm sure your brother thinks he can do it in his own way of being a huntsman." Melanie spoke with a bit of venom in her tone.
Neo clapped and then gave a thumbs up nodding her head.
"What does a criminal know about being 'elegant'? You just know how to do drugs, kill, and sell your five lien body." Yang snapped back. Melanie just chuckled.
"Please if I did that I would be at least double whatever those tits of yours cost. Besides before Beacon we..." She gestured to her sister and Neo "...went to a prep school." A smirk on her face. "Now if you don't mind we have class to attend. Something you all don't seem to be worried about. But that's what barbarians do. Not think." A smile widened on Melanie's face as her sister and Neo herself even grew one. They then pulled Whitley along as he tried to stammer something out before they all were pulled along the halls. The Heiress yelled down at her brother to come back. Although he didn't even resist as the three girls made him follow. A moment that made her giggle silently.
Let the boy live his own life. It did wonders for Neo when she started to. So she should help the boy live his own as well!
" Ugh… That bitch." Melanie shook her head looking at her sister and Neo. "Me and Whitley have this weapons class to get to. What about you two?" Melanie asked the two of them as Neo typed on her phone.
"Semblance study class? Alright Neo enjoy that I guess. Miltia?"
"History… ugh I'm like totally gonna be so bored." Miltia complained.
"We'll meet up in combat class next period though." Whitley finally spoke. A dejected look on his face. "Then I have a free period… for my private studies. Then lunch, then we have Grimm Studies together." A sigh. "Let's just have a good first day. Team WMMN out. Remember Elegance and Finesse ladies."
Neo stood in front of him and then took a bow before doing a cartwheel backwards and walking towards class with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait to see what was in store in the coming weeks. Then her scroll pinged.
Roman: 'Job this saturday. Bring the twins. Someone needs to be taken care of for Junior.'
Neo: 'On it. What about our new teammate?'
Roman: 'Leave him at Beacon? What do I care. Just do whatever.'
Neo: XP
That put a smile on her face excited for the trouble to come.
[/]
Whitley was walking with Melanie towards their first class. He was trying to put the argument with his sister to the back of his mind, when all of a sudden the girl slammed him against the wall.
"Eh" he was caught off guard not expecting that. "Melanie we got to get to class." She was glaring at him.
"What was that? You totally froze up and became a little bitch." Her eyes pierced into him. "You weren't like this in the forest when you were giving orders on what to do. So you best explain now or I'll be ignoring everything you say from like now on."
He was watching her as he brought his hand up grabbing hers and pulling it off. "She's my twin… and I came to Beacon to get away from our father…" a sigh escaped from him as he locked eyes with her. Taking note of their neon green color. "... we usually tell each other everything. So she's probably ma-"
"That's not what I was asking about!" She shouted with frustration, her glare getting colder. "Tell me why you were a total pussy and not the confident collected person in that forest. Hell you weren't him last night or this morning when you were freaking about seeing your teammates naked."
"I- I just…" he stammered, his face getting flush. "... i didn't grow up around people… only my sisters, parents, and whoever they brought around."
"Well pull yourself together! This is the real world. And what are these things you keep mumbling? Elegance and Finesse? Well right now you're just being a phony, imitating it!" She shouted firmly. Then poking his brooch with her finger. "You're a Schnee and Team WMMN's fucking leader. So act like it. You have the mind to come up with plans on the fly! You made your own gear that much is obvious so you're not an idiot."
He wasn't sure how she figured that out.
"So get that fucking tampon out your ass and be that cool elegant guy that uses finesse that you tell yourself to have. Don't back down, damn it. Be arrogant, you have the abilities to be! Don't just think to yourself you're the best. Act like it." She let her finger down. "And you'll be who you need to be. You came here for a reason and I don't care really what it is. But you won't get there fumbling with your words."
The stare went on for a few more moments. "Who the fuck are you? Are you the sky boy who fell from the sky? Or are you Whitley Fucking Schnee? Born from the richest family in the world. The best strategist I've seen. Most resourceful rich brat I've seen? You have reason to be arrogant unlike your dumb fuck of a sister." She pointed into his chest. He scowled as she insulted his sister. "Now what are you gonna d-!?"
'Slap'
He had heard enough. "I'm Whitley Schnee, you insufferable girl." His eyes staring at her as she smirked back at him. "Now if you want to get anywhere in life you will live life on this damn team with elegance and finesse like a member of a Schnee's team." He was tired of her words and honestly it was time he got a grip on himself. Maybe Melanie noticed this before anyone else could for a reason. "Is that clear?"
She grinned at him. "Crystal, Whitley." She finally stepped back from having him pinned to the wall. Clearly happy with the confidence she instilled in him.
"We'll talk later at the dorms about your criminal history. You will share everything and then we will go from there." He then sighed. "For now let's get to class." He smiled at her. She just nodded and they began walking into their first class as the bell finally chimed. With them being punctual and on time.
[/]
She wasn't fully sure what was gonna happen when she had pinned him to the wall like that. She half expected him to freeze up again. Luckily she finally pushed the right buttons when she finally got smacked.
'There's that fire I saw in the forest that I decided to follow.'
Melanie thought as she heard him demand to hear of her and her twin's past. Which she would have to do. This guy was interesting enough now that he straightened his cowardice out. It was cute sometimes when he got flustered but she didn't need him to be like that all the time. Otherwise what was the point of letting him lead in the Emerald Forest. Just would make a mockery of them at this point if he couldn't get himself back up.
She wasn't here to be a huntress like others. She was here because of her mother and because she had no other options in the matter. She was gonna make the best of it as she could. If it meant making this Schnee more confident in himself as he'd be responsible for leading them the next four years here then so be it. She'd make sure he became the best leader for their team and the SDC. She might even get some favors from helping him out in the future if she played her cards right.
As they stepped into the classroom she saw Whitley typing onto his scroll before it got pocketed away by him. She was curious about who he was texting, but didn't ask. Wasn't her business for now. She looked down at the front of the classroom as they took their seats with no teacher up there yet. A sigh escaping her lips.
'Stupid teacher is late to their own class'
[/]
Whitley crossed his arms in his seat as he waited. And waited. And waited. The teacher, still not showing up after ten minutes had already passed. "Tsk where they are…" He was a bit annoyed before finally a woman came bursting through the door.
"AH FUCK! So sorry class!" Miss Nico came in loud as she fixed her glasses and looked over the seats. "Don't got a class usually in the mornings but I asked Ozzy to give me one. Specifically so I can make sure some of you fix your weapon problems immediately" She was looking at him and Melanie's direction with intent as she said that last sentence. "My name is Nico Goldy. Don'tcha bother with calling me Miss Goldy or something dumb like that. Make me feel old." She then cleared her throat. "What are the three fundamentals for a weapon?"
She looked over the classroom trying to get a gauge on the reaction. None of them responded. "Sheesh just as fucking bad as I thought. Ok someone at least try and give a garsh darn answer."
Whitley sighed, raising his hand. "Effectiveness. It needs to be able to do its job as a weapon properly in combat."
"EXACTLY! Well for one part of it." She looked around to everyone else. Whitley tried raising his hand again but she just waved it away. "Alright, it seems we got our damn work cut out for us here. Sheesh you all are dumber than a bag of 'taters." She walked up to the chalk board and began writing words on it as she spoke. "The three main fundamentals are. One: Effectiveness. A weapon needs to be effective. Two: Versatility, It needs to be able to handle multiple jobs at once whether it be used for dust, mobility, or just helping cut meat or something for camp." She then turned around and looked at the group of students that was about five people at most including him and Melanie.
"And lastly. Does it fit you and your style?" He looked at her confused. What did that have to do with a weapon's ability in combat? "Ah I already see your brains going 'that's so dumb and makes no sense'." She then pulled out her scroll and projected her screen from it showing Ruby Rose. "This is Ruby Rose. She uses a scythe. Her semblance is something with speed and she uses full movement of her body when she uses her weapon. The scythe is also a high powered sniper rifle letting her take shots from a distance." She then clicked to the next screen. "This is Jaune Arc. Simple guy doesn't even have his semblance yet. But he uses a sword and shield. No range for sure but thanks to his shield he is able to last longer in a fight… although his technique could use some work to say the least." She explained with a sigh.
"Now let's look at some of you. Ah Whitle' let's go with your weapon." He looked at the screen showing the fight with the spider grimm. "Grenades with dust. Cool I suppose but really ineffective for casting your glyph semblance. Then you have a hard light projection box that gives you a knife. Cool but you lack range once you run out of grenades and can't really take down a big grimm with that knife. Not to mention it doesn't play into your strengths." She smiled looking at everyone in the class.
"I've written criticisms of each one of your weapons and your fighting and sent them directly to your scrolls. Your assignment for tonight is to try to come up with solutions to every one of your problems with your current weapon. If you can't then it's time to come up with a new one. Though some of you I'm vetoing that on and forcing you to come up with a new weapon." She then smirked at him and winked. Only causing him to realize what was about to happen.
"Now then. I'm gonna let you get to work on that. Whitle' a word boy." She waved him down. He just stood up and walked down with his head held high.
"Ah trying to look unstoppable eh?" She smiled as she threw her scroll on her desk showing the fight from Initiation. "You're impressive kiddo. Not many can make homemade explosives with little more than junk they find around their mansion."
"Thank you." He took the compliment.
"But your knife thing is shit. I'm sure you worked on it for months thinking it'd play in the strengths of your dust storage but in all honesty you're limiting yourself and that big brain of yours." She tapped the side of her temple. "So… Since I know you were limited with what you could make at your home. Whatchu got in your mind now since you have a proper weapon making facility."
He stood there unsure. He could go with a saber like Winter. Or maybe a rapier like Weiss. Those didn't feel like him though. His grandfather had a giant claymore and shield. Definitely not that. A gun could work for ranged, though same problem as his grenades.
"Ah, having trouble, ya?" She kicked back in her chair putting her feet on her desk. "Want some advice or ideas?" She asked
"I suppose it couldn't hurt." He spoke looking at her.
"Well stop thinking traditional. Guns, swords, axes, hammers, etc. Those won't work for you." She said with a smile. "There was a man I used to know back in the day who had a whole menagerie of weapons he kept on him. Last I heard it was close to two hundred."
He looked at her baffled. "That's impossible…"
"Ah well that's the thing you'd be right sure but he had a cool little semblance. Grimm Arms." She smiled.
"See he could eat a grimm before it evaporated and gain a cool new weapon made from their traits into something letting him use how the grimm fought in his own battles. Man was a monster." She chuckled. "Seen him after he took out a fucking dragon grimm on his own while he was taking selfies the whole time. Man just enjoyed life. After he killed that dragon he had a cool set of Grimm Wings. Man was so carefree."
"So where does a new weapon for me come to mind from all that?" He asked, confused.
"Well I'm giving you some goals when you design your new weapon. One, it needs to use dust so you can use your semblance and stop using grenades for it. Two, it needs to be lowkey so you can keep it on you at all times. You're gonna be head of the SDC one day right? Can't be carrying a sword or gun everywhere. Three, I want you to base it off of a grimm. You can ask Port for books on them if you want. But I've sent you a few for you to get ideas off of."
"Basing a weapon off a grimm? Feeling nostalgic?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Maybe? I just have a feeling it will help you come up with something. You're a strategist right? Think four steps ahead kind of guy? Make sure your weapon works with that. A gun can't make plans quietly. A sword isn't resourceful enough for that. Plus your team consists of three melee focused girls already. Neo will be great for intel gathering cause of her semblance but the twins can't always act as bodyguards for you." She tapped her scroll.
"So you need something that can help you set up for covering you while you're by yourself and your team moves in. Let's ya do all the commanding while you sit back and enjoy the show of your plan coming together." She tapped her scroll a few more times. "Make sense? I just sent you a handful of grimm that can help inspire you. One you're even personal with. I'm giving you one week to send me a design for your weapon. Then we'll go from there."
"Alright, I'll take that challenge up I suppose. I'll show you that I can come up with anything no matter the parameters." A smirk on his face.
"Oooh is that a challenge?" Nico smiled at him.
"What did you have in mind?" Whitley eyed her.
"You got one week to make the weapon's first prototype now bucko. Full weapon workshop available to you. Any materials. Think you're up for it?" She smiled offering a handshake. One he gladly took.
"Deal. What do I get if I make it?"
"Well you don't need money. Ah I know." She opened her drawer in her desk and pulled out a box that she opened up revealing an old dusty item. "This baby here is called Lucy" She smiled as he could finally see that it's a metallic rose that glowed. "Not sure how it works exactly. My buddy made it after defeating some phoenix grimm. What it became is a rose that as you can see has a metal stim with red glowing energy petals. Apparently it can summon explosive blades of energy that can be manipulated. I never could figure the damn thing out." She smirked. "Seems like a fair offer if you can meet the goal, eh?"
He eyed it for a moment. He didn't really need some weird guy's semblance weapon but it wouldn't hurt to take on the challenge and get a prize. "Sure, I'll have that on me in a week then."
[/]
Miltia yawned as she left her first class of the day. She saw Neo approaching with her scroll being held up in the air. "Eh?" Miltia looked at hers and saw the text from Neo. "So we like got work this weekend huh? Well better than staying around here." She shrugged as she walked to where the combat classroom was eventually meeting up with Whitley and her sister. Team WMMN together. Miltia looked at her leader as they walked in. He was flipping through his scroll with a bunch of pictures of grimm on it. "Oooh whatchu lookin at Sky Boy?" Miltia asked, leaning on his shoulder as his face went flush from their contact.
He shot her a look. "Call me Whitley, Miltia." His voice came out stern. That was different than this morning but he wasn't telling her to get off of him. Neo looked over his scroll too as they sat down into their seats for their next class. She glanced over to her sister who just leaned back in the seat, a grin on her face. A sigh came from Whitley. "I have to look over these few grimm Nico gave me and make my new weapon based off of them." He flipped through a bunch of them. Most she didn't recognize till she saw that spider Grimm from initiation.
"Like what about that one." She pointed at his scroll flipping back to it.
"Hmm how could I make that into a weapon?" He asked, looking at her curious.
"Well like you're smart. Are you saying you couldn't do it?" A smirk on her face.
"It's simply a matter of making it work within the parameters given to me… and also the fact I have to have a prototype in a week." He groaned as he flipped through Killnid's traits.
"Hmmm well assassins used to use piano wire to kill people." Melanie hummed out. "Think of that like spider webbing."
"And you know this, how?" Whitley asked, looking at her. Melanie just smirked.
"Like that could totally work. You just got to find a way to use that to make your own set of webbing with wires." Miltia smiled.
She watched him as Whitley brought a hand to his chin as he began to think. It was kind of cute seeing him mumble to himself as he thought out loud. He eventually pulled a stylus from his scroll and started to sketch on the screen rapidly a few ideas. It all just looked like a bunch of lines and then the bell for class rang.
"Alright children settle down." A clap from the woman with blonde hair echoed through the room. "Today is your first day of combat class and testing your abilities. My name is Glynda Goodwitch and I'll be helping you become better over the course of the next several years." A pregnant pause as she gathered looks from over the students. Miltia looked over the class as well. She saw Team RWBY that had bothered them earlier. Then Team JNPR and Team CRDN. "We've gathered footage from every single combat encounter of yours the school could find. Even the fights you don't think we know about." Glynda's eyes fell on Team WMMN and the twins scowled at her. "That being said, first year combat class focuses primarily on single fighting by yourself in the first half of the school year. It'll be up to you all in your free time to learn how to fight together. Then in the second half of the school year we'll be working on team fighting."
Miltia figured that made some sense. Can't very well fight grimm or criminals on a team all the time. Sometimes you'd be alone.
'No. Melanie will always be right there with me.'
"That being said we're gonna start off with a single spar between. Mr. Schnee and Miss Rose." Glynda spoke clearly, wanting them to hustle to the front. Whitley then cleared his throat.
"Miss Goodwitch I currently do not have a weapon. One is in the process of being developed right now." Whitley spoke with a firm tone.
"Well this will be a learning experience then Mr. Schnee for what happens when you lose a weapon in the field. Now please get downhere so we can proceed with class. Miss Rose, you have five minutes to get ready in the locker room." Glynda wasn't taking no for an answer on this.
"Yes Miss goodwitch." Ruby voiced as she hurried to the locker room.
Miltia looked at Whitley who set his scroll down, the screen still open and a more detailed sketched up blueprint being visible on it now. Something that looked like a pair of gloves.
She watched as her team leader went down to the stage and then she just looked at her twin. "So we like have a job this weekend. What are we gonna do, ditch the boy?" Miltia asked before she saw Neo shake her head no. "Eh, is that a good idea Neo?" Miltia asked as Melanie side eyed the mute girl. A ping came from their scroll.
"You want to involve him?" Melanie asked a cold stare looking at Neo who was shaking her head rapidly. "How are we gonna do that?"
Neo tapped her chin and then just shrugged at the both of them.
"Eh whatever. We'll make it work I guess. Maybe we could like trick him into thinking it's a huntsmen job." Miltia thought aloud.
"He wants to know our criminal history later tonight Miltia." Melanie said as she looked down at the Schnee Boy.
"Are we like telling him the truth? Seems to be counter-intuitive to what we're doing here." Miltia wondered.
"Well, I think we should. Seems like he's already expecting it to be very bad but he's not ready to report us. Plus…" Melanie was staring at their teacher. "... I have a feeling the teachers already know most of our history." Melanie then flipped her scroll over to show footage of one of their assassination jobs a few weeks back in Vale. Miltia clearly cutting through some mob dude's head.
"Hmmm should we tell Torchie?" Miltia asked.
"I don't think the school is planning to stop us or arrest us… So I think we just wait and see what they're gonna do to react to us. Not like they don't know what school we went to anyways." Melanie sighed. "Though I do think our team leader has potential. Might be someone worth following if we can get him to not be a nervous wreck."
At those last words footsteps could be heard approaching as Miltia looked up to see the Schnee Heiress approaching. "I want to talk with you three." A cold stern calm voice as she sat down right next to them, her eyes looking out towards her brother.

Huntsman Files: Nico Goldy
Vacuo born and raised, this woman had a love for riding motorcycles in the desert growing up and using even cooler weapons she made in her garage to kill grimm. She didn't even go to an academy. She just made whatever cool weapon ideas came to her mind and went to the desert on whatever new vehicle she developed and started kicking ass. Eventually Shade tested her and she passed the huntsman test. Though she just shrugged that off saying "She was jus' tryin' to live her best life." Eventually Shade offered to let her be the weapons smith teacher and then Beacon heard of her talents and offered more tools and resources than Shade ever could.
Author's Note:
I honestly thought while writing this it was gonna be longer but the more and more I wrote the more I realized it's gonna drag on. I was even thinking of showing every perspective of TEAM WMMN in their class periods but decided against that. I felt like it would hurt the pacing. Don't worry I'm not gonna do the rest of the periods in the next chapter. Probably will consist of just Weiss and MMN talking while also showing Whitley fighting Ruby in class. Oh don't forget there is still that conversation on the Twins and Neo's criminal life that Whitley wants to have. He isn't dumb and knows that these girls are criminals just from how Yang is talking to them like it's personal. So he wants the truth. Are the girls gonna trust him with the truth? Well they may not have a choice if someone on the team gets their way.
After that it'll probably go to hitting highlights of the class week. Showing signs of Whitley working on his weapon. The man isn't gonna be getting a lot of sleep. It'll also be showing what his private classes will be.
Melanie is kind of trying to 'groom' (Not in a weird way) Whitley into being their boss. Sure Roman is cool but he doesn't have real leverage and pull like a Schnee could. She has respect for Whitley when he isn't acting like a dumb child. So it makes sense for her to slap the shit out of him when she gets the chance. She may have enjoyed him slapping her more than she'd admit too lol!
I'm sure you all are getting ideas on what Whitley's weapon is gonna be. If you've seen Hellsing or Akame Ga Kill you might be getting an idea on it. The whole point of Whitley is gonna be that he doesn't get his hands dirty. That's someone else job and he's also not gonna fight like a brute. He will try to do it while looking classy, smart and intelligent. He is after all the smartest there is in a room. He'll make sure people know it wherever he goes.
I want to thank DeadmanwalkingXP for their wonderful reviews. Love seeing the excitement for e
ach chapter I post. I'm writing these like every day before work and after work (before 3pm est and after 11pm est) and even some times on my break. I'm just constantly thinking on what's next for my chapter.
The huntsman that Nico was speaking about is based on Dante from Devil May Cry. Yee I know weird of me to take inspiration from other things but I think it will work since it's not a major thing. As you can guess if familiar with the series is that the rose Lucy is based on the Devil Arm Lucifer. Will Whitley use it if he gets it? Probably not? Im not sure. It's a bit out there and doesn't fit the style I have going for him. Perhaps he'll give it to one of the teammates of WMMN. We'll just have to wait and see if he gets it. (Do you all even want him to succeed in making his prototype weapon in time?)
That's gonna be it for now everyone. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. They just keep getting longer as I become more comfortable with my writing ability and style I'm finding. I'm trying to show all of the team's perspectives every chapter with Whitley's being shown multiple times. Tbh I can see a chapter in the future being 10k words by the time we reach chapter 10 if I feel like the pacing fits.
Thank you to everyone who has read this story so far. Already hitting 750 reviews before Chp 5 is posted! Hopefully you all are enjoying it and I'll see you all in the next chapter. Probably won't be one tomorrow since I have to livestream. But expect something saturday night and sunday if I can help it! (Should we start doing weekly chapters rather then whenever I finish them?) AH I'm rambling! BYE!
