7 An Encounter Fixed
The airship finally arrived at the academy. The hatch opened up and the students are now making their way out and towards the entrance of Beacon.
Jin, Yang and Ruby were looking around the area and then they looked at the Academy itself.
"Wow..."
"The view from Vale's got nothing on this!"
"I have to say. It's very impressive." Jin said while nodding his head, he then saw Ruby turn into a chibi as she floated and started clinging on to Yang.
'How? Just how?'
"Oh my gosh, sis! That kid's got a collapsible staff! AAAHH! And she's got a fire sword!"
Ruby was pointing and rambling around while Jin just sighed. Yang then pulls Ruby's hood so she wouldn't move, "Ow! Ooww!"
"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!"
"'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh! They're so cool!"
'Her Weapon Fetish-o-meter is going into the danger zone!'
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?"
Ruby takes off her hood and pulls out her weapon in scythe form, and hugged it while saying, "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better."
Jin just shook his head while Yang playfully pulled her sister's hood down over her face again.
"Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"
"But....why would I need friends if I have you and Jin?"
Yang was hesitant at answering her, "Well....."
Suddenly, a group of other students surround Yang, with this, she managed to find a way out of Ruby's question.
'The hell?! They have no faces?! And their body is all black! Holy shit! That's creepy!'
"Actually, my friends are now here. Gotta go catch up. Kay, see ya, bye!"
Yang just dashed off with her 'friends', completely ditching her younger siblings.
Ruby was spinning and was dizzy from Yang's sudden escape while Jin just watched in disbelief that Yang would actually ditch them just like that.
"Wait, where are you going?! Aren't we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" Ruby asked dizzily before stopping for a moment while still reeling.
"I don't know what I'm doing..."
Ruby then falls backwards into a luggage cart, sending cases flying to the air. Jin quickly went for his sister's aid.
"You okay Rubes?" Jin asked as he reached out his hand.
"I'm okay." Ruby replied as she accepts Jin's hand and stands up.
Someone was standing in front of them. It was a pale skinned young girl with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center bun tail and pinned with an icicle shaped tiara. A crooked scar runs vertically down her left eye.
She wore a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt.
Over this she wears a bell sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar.
Jin immediately recognized her. She was Weiss Schnee, the heiress of Schnee Company.
'Hmmm.....In the start, she's kind of a bitch. But I'll let it slide for now cause she'll change later on.'
"What are you doing?!" Weiss yelled angrily
"Ah, sorry!"
"Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?"
"Uuhhh..." Ruby was getting scared at Weiss' glare. She picked up a random luggage in an attempt to clean up her mess.
"Give me that!" Weiss said as she snatches the luggage from Ruby and opens it to reveal a vial of powdered dust. "This is Dust! Mined and purified from the Schnee quarry!"
"Uuuhhhh..."
"What are you, brain-dead?" Weiss yelled again as she was holding out a vial of red Dust and starting shaking it in front of Ruby.
"Dust! Fire, water, lightning, energy!"
"I....I know..." Ruby said as she starts coughing from the Dust pouring into her face
"Hey! Stop shaking that!" Jin exclaimed as he saw that Weiss was carelessly shaking the half-open vial in front of Ruby, but Weiss ignored him.
"Are you even listening to me?! Is any of this sinking in?! What do you have to say for yourself?!"
Ruby, who had been receiving more and more Dust to her face, finally sneezes, which erupts into a full-blown explosion of flame, snowflakes, and electricity right onto Weiss.
The bottle she had been holding, flies over the courtyard and over at the feet of a black haired woman, who was reading a book.
She picks it up and notices the Schnee Dust Company logo on the side of the bottle and looks over at the scene.
"Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!" Weiss yelled again.
"I'm really, really sorry!"
"Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here?! Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?!"
Ruby was getting nervous on her question while stuttering.
"W-well, I-I....-"
"This isn't your ordinary combat school, its-..."
"Okay that's enough!" Jin interrupted as he was finally fed up at Weiss for treating Ruby like that. Weiss and Ruby looks at him and saw that he was giving Weiss a glare.
"First off Miss Ice Bitch. You are the reason why the explosion happened! For fuck sake, you consider yourself an 'expert' of dust, but you just kept shaking the half-open vial in front of her."
Ruby was surprised at Jin's cursing, but was happy that he defended her. While Weiss was shocked at what Jin just said to her, but in the same time, completely embarrassed.
Weiss' face turned red in anger as she glares at male in front of her.
"HOW DARE-..."
"And second!" Jin rudely interrupted Weiss, which causes her rage to grow even more.
"Nobody talks to my twin sister like that! Especially a spoiled flat chested girl." Jin said as he made an insult. This just made Weiss' anger to grow even more.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?!" She yelled at him but Jin just shrugged at her.
"A spoiled princess that makes me want to smack you so hard in the head."
Weiss about to shout at him again but a voice cuts her off.
"It's heiress, actually."
Ruby, Jin and Weiss look over and saw a girl that was approaching them.
It was is a fair skinned young girl with amber eyes and long black hair. A ribbon is tied with a large bow on the top of her head. She wears purple eyeshadow in catseye style.
She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg, emblazoned with the YKK logo of the real life Japanese zipper manufacturer.
She also wears black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. On her left arm is a detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose scarf is wrapped around her neck and a gray magnetic backpack is strapped to her back, hidden by her hair.
'Ah, there she is.'
"Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world." The girl continued.
Weiss smiled smugly as she forgot about Jin and focused more on the girl, "Finally! Some recognition!"
"The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners." The girl remarked and it causes Weiss' anger to return once more as Ruby and Jin chuckled at her statement.
"Wha....How dare....The nerve of....Ugh!"
Weiss just gets closer to the girl's face and takes the bottle from her, before walking off in a huff as some helpers gathered her luggage and follows her.
Ruby still felted sorry for Weiss so she called out, "I promise I'll make this up to you!"
Weiss just ignored her and Ruby sighs as she looks down, "I guess I'm not the only one having a rough first day.....So, what's-...."
Just as Ruby was about talk to the girl, she sees her walking off as well. Jin watched her figure walking off into the distance as he thought about something.
'Blake noticed me but she didn't greet me. Even though we saw each other in the past.....Oh wait I was wearing a mask back then. Oopsie.'
'But, she might gets some vibes about me if I show off my Semblance that I used back then.'
Ruby just collapses to the ground and lies on her back before saying, "Welcome to Beacon....."
Jin kneels down and lets out a small smile, "Come on Rubes. It's only been the first day."
He then gives her his hand, "Come on. Get up little sis."
"I'm not your little sis!" Ruby said as she gets up without Jin's help.
"Yes, you are!"
"But I'm older than you!"
"Only by a few minutes right? Besides, I'm taller than you!"
"Because you're a guy! So it's natural that you're taller than me!"
"Well if you didn't focus on eating sweets all the time then you might grow taller. Maybe you should cut off with the cookies and strawberries."
"NEVER!"
"Hey there!" A voice called out. The two stops bickering and turns around and saw the guy in the airship who vomited on Yang boots.
"I'm Jaune, nice to meet you." the blonde male nervously introduced himself.
The man
The myth
The legend
"The Vomit Boy!"
