Glynda then comes back, interjects and says, "Nora, I must advise against using weapons on each other, even in a training environment. We do not condone such actions." Nora nods and puts the taser back in the crate. "Understood, Professor Goodwitch." she says.

This surprised Ryan to see Glynda again, however she says she also wants to see his weapons. Her eyes goes to a crate labeled 'Vests'.

Ryan nods and walks over to the crate, pulling out several vests made of different materials, including Kevlar, Spectra, and Dragon Skin. "These are some of the vests I have," he says, holding one up for Glynda to inspect. "I also have some trauma plates to go with them, if you're interested."

RWBY, JNPR and Glynda were now wonder what the Kevlar Vests are and Ryan shows them a vest of his last fight with a White Fang assault that happen two years. The vest still had bullets embedded in it and had a few burn marks.

Glynda looks at the vest closely, examining the bullet holes and burn marks. "It seems to have held up well," she says, impressed. "What kind of material is it made of?"

Ryan replies, "It's a combination of Kevlar and Spectra fibers, with ceramic or steel plates for added protection against armor-piercing rounds. It's designed to absorb and disperse the force of a bullet, reducing the likelihood of penetrating the skin."

Blake nods in understanding. "So it's like a shield for your body?"

Ryan nods. "Exactly. It's saved my life on more than one occasion."

Glynda looks at the other vests in the crate. "Do you have enough for everyone?"

Ryan nods again. "Yes, I do. I brought them just in case."

Glynda nods in approval. "Good thinking, Mr. Blackburn. It's always better to be prepared."

Jaune says to him, "So the vest is more like extra protection. Like having Arua on top of Arua?" Ryan laughs a little and says 'yes'. While everyone else even Glynda realized that now Jaune and Ryan are the only ones with a protective vest or armor.

Ruby then asked Ryan if he has any plans to make more vests for the her team. Ryan thought about it and said that it could be possible but it would take some time and resources to make them.

He also mentioned that the vests wouldn't completely protect them from every attack but it would definitely provide some extra protection. Glynda then suggested that they could bring up the idea to the headmaster and see if they can provide the resources to make them.

Everyone agreed that it was a good idea and they decided to talk to the headmaster about it later.

Blake then saw another type of grenade, but in the 'Non-Lethal' crate and asked, "Say Ryan, what these 'Flashbangs'?"

"Ah, those are M84 flashbang grenades," Ryan replied. "They emit a blinding flash of light and a deafening noise to stun and disorient the enemy without causing permanent harm. They're very useful in situations where you need to incapacitate opponents quickly and safely."

"However, I recommend not using them against Faunus. As they can LITERALLY make their ears bleed or worse. Go completely deaf." Ryan warned.

Everyone nodded in understanding, realizing the potential harm that the flashbangs could cause to Faunus with sensitive hearing.

Glynda, Ruby and Yang also sees a ammo box that says 'Rubber Rounds/bullets'.

Glynda, Ruby, and Yang were curious about the ammo box labeled 'Rubber Rounds/bullets'. Ryan explained that rubber bullets were non-lethal projectiles that could be used in situations where deadly force wasn't necessary.

"They're a great alternative to live rounds when we need to subdue someone without causing permanent harm," he said.

Glynda nodded in approval. "I'm glad to see you have a range of options available to you," she said. "It's important to know when to use lethal force and when to use non-lethal force."

Ruby, on the other hand, looked a bit disappointed. "But they're not as cool as the real bullets," she said with a pout.

Ryan chuckled. "Yeah, I know what you mean. But sometimes being cool isn't as important as being responsible," he said.

Weiss then sees a large box with the label 'strawberries'. Ruby noticed this too.

Ryan chuckles and says, "Oh that's just a personal item. Nothing related to weapons or combat." The others looked a bit confused but decided not to press further on the matter.

However, Ruby wanted to know. To point she latched on to Ryan in a tight grip.

Ryan chuckles a bit at Ruby's persistence and says, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. The strawberries are just a personal stash of mine. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and sometimes it's hard to find good quality fruit in Vale. So I bring some from home and keep them here."

"So that means you love cookies too?!?!" Shouted/Asked Ruby to Ryan and he says, "Fuck yeah I do!" Ruby quietly mutters, "I think I found my future husband."

Everyone laughed at Ruby's comment and Ryan just smiled. "I'll make sure to stock up on cookies next time," he said jokingly.

This time, Nora pops a question, "Say Ryan, are single or dating anyone?"

Ryan responds with an honest, "Nope."

This made the girls except Glynda have a wide smile on their faces.

Glynda cleared her throat and said, "Well, as interesting as this tour has been, I believe it's time for all of you to return to your studies."

The students reluctantly said their goodbyes to Ryan and left his dorm room. Ryan took a deep breath and looked at his collection of weapons and equipment, feeling grateful for all of the hard work he and his mother had put into them.

He couldn't wait for the next opportunity to use them to protect his friends and loved ones.

Meanwhile in the Branwen Tribe, we see Raven with a bulletin board with the top saying 'How to win Ryan's heart!' Her second-in-command Vernal looks at her boss with bewildered expression.

"I can't believe you're doing this, Raven," Vernal says shaking her head.

Raven shrugs. "What can I say? The boy's intriguing. I want to see what makes him tick."

Vernal rolls her eyes. "I don't think stalking him is the way to win his heart."

"I'm not stalking him," Raven protests. "I'm just gathering information."

"By eavesdropping on his conversations with his friends and acquaintances?" Vernal retorts.

Raven crosses her arms. "I'm just trying to get to know him better. And if it so happens that I win his heart in the process, then all the better."

Vernal sighs. "You're hopeless, Raven."

Raven smirks. "We'll see about that."

"And what if he says 'No.' or "Sorry, but I'm taken.'" Vernal says.

Raven gives a smug smirk, "Then we move on to plan B."

Vernal raises an eyebrow, "And what's plan B?"

Raven leans in and whispers, "We kidnap him."

Vernal looks shocked, "Kidnap him?! What in the fuck?!"

Raven shrugs, "Love makes you do crazy things."

"Plus we're bandits." Raven says.

Vernal nods in agreement, "Yeah, that too."

"Wait a minute? If that's Plan B. What's plan C?" Vernal now says with a worried look.

Raven smirks and says, "Plan C is to simply take what we want."

Vernal raises an eyebrow and asks, "And what exactly is it that you want?"

Raven turns to her and replies with a sly grin, "Everything."

"Oh my God, my leader is a fucking Cougar..." Vernal with a disappointed look on her face.

As Vernal finishes her sentence, Raven turns to her with a glare. "What did you say?" she asks, her voice laced with a hint of danger.

Vernal quickly backpedals, realizing her mistake. "N-nothing, Boss. Nothing at all," she stammers, trying to diffuse the situation. Raven seems to accept this and turns back to the bulletin board, ignoring Vernal for the moment.

Vernal, on the other hand, sighs to herself, thinking about her leader's obsession with Ryan. She knew that Raven had always been interested in him, but she had no idea it had reached this level. She couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Ryan if he ever found out about Raven's plans.

"And what about the Sea Mine he now has?" Vernal says as Raven turns to look at her.

"Sea Mine? Who told you he has a Sea Mine?" Raven says with a questioning look.

Vernal says without thinking much, "Oh Ryan told me after that Uras on cocaine attacked."

Raven's expression turns to one of annoyance as she mutters to herself, "That little shit, always hiding something." She then turns back to Vernal and says, "Well, we'll just have to add that to the list of things we need to acquire from him."

"As for the Uras on cocaine. I still remember how that thing nearly ate me." Raven shudders the thought.

Vernal nods in agreement, "Yeah, that was a close call. Good thing Ryan was there to save us."

Raven smirks, "Speaking of which, I wonder if he still remembers the favor I did for him back in Vale."

Vernal raises an eyebrow, "What favor?"

Raven leans in and whispers, "Let's just say I made sure he got out of Vale alive when the White Fang attacked."

Vernal looks surprised, "You saved his life?"

Raven shrugs, "I wouldn't say saved his life, but I did him a favor. And who knows, maybe he'll repay it one day."

Vernal nods, "I see. Well, we should probably focus on the task at hand. We need to plan our next raid."

Raven nods in agreement, "Right. But don't forget to keep an eye out for any opportunities to get closer to Ryan."

Vernal rolls her eyes, "You're never going to give up on that, are you?"

Raven smirks, "Nope."

"Now I'm worry on how many kids you want from him." Vernal says.

Raven looks at Vernal with a deadpan expression, "I don't want any kids from him, Vernal. I just want him on our side." She then turns back to the bulletin board, "And to do that, we need to figure out what he likes and what he hates."

"Well.....he does like cute girls." Vernal said blushing at remember Ryan calling her cute two years ago.

Raven looks at Vernal with a smirk, "Oh really? Looks like we have a contender for plan D."

Vernal's blush deepens as she realizes what her boss is implying. "No, no, no! I was just stating a fact! I don't want to be part of your plans!" she protests, but Raven just laughs it off.

"Relax, Vernal. I'm just joking. We're bandits, not matchmakers," she says, patting Vernal's shoulder.

"Which is why I'll be the contender." Raven says with a smug smile as Vernal smile drops.

As Vernal's smile drops, Raven notices and raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong?" she asks.

Vernal hesitates for a moment before responding, "Well, I kind of have a crush on him too."

Raven's smug expression fades and she looks at Vernal with a mix of surprise and annoyance. "What? How long has this been going on?" she asks.

Vernal shifts uncomfortably. "Since he first came to the tribe," she admits.

Raven lets out a sigh. "Well, that's just great," she says sarcastically. "Looks like we're both after the same guy."

Vernal nods. "Yeah, I guess so."

There is a moment of silence before Raven speaks up again. "Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll both make our moves and see who he chooses. May the best woman win."

Vernal looks hesitant. "But won't that create tension between us?"

Raven shrugs. "It's a risk we'll have to take. Besides, it's not like we're the best of friends anyway."

Vernal nods slowly, still unsure about the plan, but not wanting to upset her leader. "Okay," she says quietly.

Raven nods in agreement. "Okay then, let's get to work."
