Thud! Thwack!

Ruby let out a small war cry as she swung her fists at her elder sister once more. Her smaller body not managing to match the strength and speed of Yang Xiao Long.

Which lead Ruby laying on her back on the floor, panting as she let her muscles burn from her attempted power.

Weiss looked on, eyes wide in shock and fear. Her feet frozen to the ground with the white case on the ground next to her unopened.

The team had arrived back in Atlas, not in the warehouse where they had originally run from but in a small housing area with only one occupant... coincidentally. So after the team regained on sleep, food and moral training had begun.

Much to Weiss's horror.

Ruby fought Yang, and Yang won.

Blake sat in the background reading and Weiss looked over in jealous. Though she was able to pick up on what the siblings were attempting to teach her.

Adam was nowhere to be found, much to Weiss's delight. Qrow, on the other hand, said he had to help that pesky occupant to be able to keep up his end of the bargain.

"Good try sis!" Yang encouraged, offering her hand to her younger sister laying on the ground. "But, not quite good enough..." Yang let out a chuckle as she smirked triumph again.

Ruby groaned but her smile proved she felt otherwise. Taking the hand of her older sister, Ruby stood up brushing the dust of her combat skirt before addressing Weiss, "Now Weiss, let's see what we can get you to do!"

"Me?" Weiss asked in fear. "I... I."

"We can try... This is training you're not going to be perfect all the time" Ruby smiled encouragingly.

Yang nodded, wrapping her arm around her sister's shoulders, "She is right you know. The least you can do is try." The girl who was cautious of her being there was being more kind toward Weiss. Causing a feeling of courage to arise in Weiss but the word perfect stung in her brain.

[I]" Our name needs to uphold everything to a perfect level"

The stinging of her father's words caused Weiss to feel discouraged but, her defiance flared in retaliation.

Taking a gulp of air Weiss nodded, her hand wavering as she knelt down to undo the white case. Unveiling her sharp silver weapon Weiss' hand touch the cold metal handle lifting the weapon out of its velvet cushion.

"I... I'd like to train with this..." Weiss spoke, her eyes never leaving the rapier as she now stood straight.

"Great!" Runy clasped her arms together, "me and Blake work with sharp weapons to fight we might be able to help..."

"Hello!" the door to the room that was designated to training swung open, revealing a small trailed old lady. In one hand she had a walking cane that had intricate designs throughout ending with a skull at the top.  "I believe I can be of help!" her voice was high pitched and was laced with amusement.

"Of course!"

The most prominent and intriguing feature for Weiss was this old lady's eyes, you couldn't see them as they were encased in silver metal, a light blue light shining through where her eyes would be.

"Yes, yes. I helped you a while ago and now I can help the heiress." the lady waved her hand and made her way to stand before Weiss. "Now..." her head moved from Weiss's feet to her head then to her hand and her weapon.
