After team RWBY's trip to the opera, things had only gotten worse between Weiss and her teammates. Since the heiress had gone and insulted Yang and Blake for not liking opera, the two girls had put a lot of distance between themselves and their new team leader, causing there to be a complete lack of communication between them. Right now, the only member of the team that stayed close with Weiss was Ruby, as she still wanted to observe how the person who replaced her as team leader was doing.

The two partners were currently in the library, having a study session by themselves, except it wasn't going well. Weiss was unable to focus on her work at all, as her blunders as a team leader were weighing heavily on her shoulders. She was actually starting to have some regrets over her decision of taking up the position of a leader, although she was not willing to admit it to anyone, even herself.

The white-haired girl's troubles were easily noticed by Ruby, as she saw that her partner had done practically no work at all. Despite knowing that Weiss had essentially caused all of her problems on her own, the redhead couldn't help but feel that she needed to offer some form of assistance, even if just a couple words of advice.

"Weiss, do you perhaps need someone to talk to?" Ruby asked with a sigh. "I can easily tell that you're bothered by something, so why don't you just stop holding it in? I'm sure it will help out greatly."

"What are you talking about!? Nothing's wrong!" the heiress tried to lie, but it was easy for even a blind person to see through it. "I'm just... Thinking! That's right! I'm just thinking about all the things I've been studying!"

"For the love of God... Weiss, this would be a lot easier, if you just were honest about needing help. Believe it or not, I am not looking towards you failing as a team leader. I did mean it when I said that I'll let you take over as the leader, if you prove to be better for the job," the redhead explained. "However, we can't make any progress, if you're not willing to ask for help when you need it."

"That's easy for you to say," Weiss said with a slight growl in her voice. Her frustrations were starting to take over. "For as long as I can remember, I've been trained to be perfect at everything I do. There was never "good enough" for me. Either I was perfect or I failed."

"And you think that asking for help would mean that you've failed then? Is that it?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow. "Weiss, you need to get it through your head that no one is perfect. We all make mistakes and fail from time to time. What you need to do is learn from your mistakes, so you won't do them again."

"...You know, for a person who is about to lose her leader position, you're awfully calm about the whole thing. You're even offering to help me," the white-haired girl said while staring at her partner with eyes full of suspicion. "It's almost like you want me to become the new leader of our team."

"Hmmm... Who knows? Maybe I do," the younger girl said indifferently. "Although, I do have to say that for the time being, I've been simply enjoying watching you handle the job so far. It's been fun having someone else go through what I had to."

Weiss suddenly stood up from her seat and started to walk towards the library's exit.

"I'm going on a walk. I'll be back soon," the fencer said with a slight growl.

"...Guess she didn't like my answer," Ruby said to herself with a shrug.

Right outside the library, Weiss was walking back and forth while fuming. It wasn't bad enough that her first few days as a team leader had been complete failures, but there was also the issue with her partner. Despite having her position taken from her, Ruby seemed to be completely indifferent towards the whole thing, if not even enjoying the change in leadership. This bothered the heiress to no end, as it made her feel foolish for taking over as the leader, like she had been tricked by the redhead. It almost felt like all of this had been nothing but a big prank by Ruby, which infuriated Weiss greatly. And to top it all off, she couldn't even tell what the scythe-wielder's true intentions could possibly be.

Deciding to take a break from her walking, the white-haired girl leaned her back on a wall and let out a deep sigh. All of this was giving her the biggest headache she had ever had in her whole life. Right now, Weiss just hoped that she could get something that would take her mind off the things that were bothering her so much.

"Ms. Schnee, may I have a word with you?" a familiar voice suddenly called out to the heiress. She looked where the sound came and saw Glynda Goodwitch walk up to her. "There is something that I need to talk about with you. Mind if I have a moment of your time?"

"Of course, Professor Goodwitch," Weiss answered, giving her full attention to the teacher. "What is it that you need to talk with me about?"

"I just needed to tell you about something I fear Professor Ozpin might have forgotten to mention," the blonde woman answered. "You see, the team leaders of Beacon, such as yourself, have special classes they need to attend. They are held twice a month on a Saturday, and the next one is on this week. In other words, tomorrow. The class will be held in Professor Port's classroom. Do you understand?"

"Y-Yes, I do understand everything you've told me so far, professor," the fencer answered, somewhat taken aback by this new information. "However, this is the first time I've heard about such classes. What exactly are they?"

"They are special classes designed to help the students in team leader positions to become better at taking care of their duties. The things that are discussed during each class change from time to time," Glynda explained, before taking a look at her Scroll and noticing the time. "Unfortunately, I fear that I do not have enough time to tell you more, but I think that Ms. Rose could offer you more insight. After all, she did take part in those classes and performed quite well. I'm certain that she would be of great help to you."

"I'll... consider that," Weiss replied with a forced smile as her right eye twitched a bit. After everything she had been through, she really hated the idea of asking Ruby for help.

With her message delivered, the blonde witch decided to leave. Now that the heiress was on her own, she faced the dilemma of either asking Ruby for more information on this "leadership class" that she had been told about or to take the class without any information and hoping for the best. Despite hating the idea with a passion, Weiss felt that it was for the best to simply swallow her pride for once and go ask her partner about it.

It didn't take long for the white-haired girl to get to Ruby again, who had been sitting silently at their table, studying. Hearing her partner walking towards her, the younger girl looked up from her book and saw an odd expression on Weiss. It looked like the heiress was trying to force a smile on her face while doing her best to not scream from pain.

"Weiss, is everything okay?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow. "You look like you could use a trip to a doctor's office."

"Oh, I'm fine! I'm fine!" Weiss quickly replied with her forced smile still on her face. "I just... need to ask you about something."

"Really now? What do you need to know?" the redhead asked.

"You see, Professor Goodwitch just informed me about something," the white-haired girl began to explain. "There are apparently some sort of special classes for the team leaders of Beacon that I was unaware of. Could you tell me more about them?"

"Sure, but I don't think there's much to really tell about them. I think it's best for you to go there and see for yourself," Ruby answered. "Those classes are different each time. Sometimes you're taught about what you should do as a team leader, sometimes you get taught proper leadership skills, it really depends on what has been planned for the day. There are even times when some professional Huntsmen and Huntresses come over there to tell you about their experiences and what they learned from them. However, there is one thing that always happens on those classes."

"What would that be?" Weiss asked, curious to hear what she was in for.

"Every time you have one of those team leader classes, you are required to make a report on the performance of your team," the former team leader answered. "In that, you are asked to tell how well your teammates are performing as a team and if there are any problems. And if there are problems, you are to provide suggestions as to how they can be fixed. It's essentially a test to see how well you can judge the people under your command and how well you can manage a team."

"Is that so?" the heiress said thoughtfully, her mind already racing with ideas.

"I should probably warn you that the teachers take those reports VERY seriously," Ruby added. "Depending on what you write, they might investigate the situation surrounding your team further in order to find out what's truly going on. I once saw Cardin get in trouble over lying in one of his reports about some of the things in his report. I have never seen Professor Goodwitch that angry before, nor did I ever believe I would see Cardin wet himself from fear."

"Oh, I'll keep that in mind," Weiss said with a small smirk on her face.

Saturday soon came upon the fencer, who quickly made her way to her special team leader class, hoping that she could use it as a chance to show her qualification to being a team leader for once. Upon entering the classroom, Weiss looked around in order to see any familiar faces among the other students. Unfortunately, the only two people that she recognized were Jaune and Cardin. It seemed like this class was specifically for the team leaders among the first year students, as Coco from team CFVY was nowhere to be seen.

Since she didn't really have any better options, the heiress took a seat next to Jaune. As confident as she was in her skills, Weiss was still stepping into new territory, so being able to ask someone she knew for advice seemed like a good idea. Even though the white-haired girl hated the idea of being near Jaune, the blonde knight was still her only option available. With Cardin being the only other person in the class that she knew, Weiss didn't really have other options, as she would rather shave her head bald before getting involved with the infamous bully at all.

"Oh! W-Weiss! I wasn't-!" Jaune began to stammer nervously, surprised by the heiress suddenly sitting next to him. However, the girl quickly cut him off.

"Save it, Jaune," Weiss said with a frustrated sigh. "I'm not in the mood for any of your lame flirting, so don't even start with it. The only reason I sat next to you is because you're the only one I know in here and I could use some help, since it's my first time in one of these classes."

"Well... I wasn't really going to start flirting or anything. I was just surprised to see you here," the blonde boy explained while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. "I mean, I've gotten so used to Ruby sitting next to me in these classes that I was kind of expecting her to do that again today. I kind of forgot about how you two switched up your positions in terms of leadership."

"I get it, Jaune. I get it. I doubt all the teachers have gotten used to the idea yet either," the heiress said. "But now that I'm here, could you give me some advice as to what I should do in these classes? Do you have any useful tips from your experience?"

"Not really... The things we discuss during these classes are different pretty much every time. The only thing you really can do is listen," Jaune answered. "Although, if there is one thing you should always fo, it's when we have to make our reports on our teams. To that I can say one thing. Be completely honest."

"Oh, I intend to," Weiss said with a small smirk.

Just as the two students finished their conversation, Glynda walked into the class. The blonde teacher had a small stack of papers with her that she put on her desk. She then turned towards her students and began to speak.

"Good day, team leaders," Glynda greeted. "Today we will be discussing how to properly treat your teammates. Now, most people might think that being a team leader would mean that you get to order those under you around as you like, but the truth is quite far from that. In order to be a good leader, you need to build up a connection with your team, which is done through trust and respect. Those who ignore these are bound to fail."

The blonde witch went on to continue her lecture on the proper treatment of one's team, every now and then stopping to ask questions from her students. These questions ranged from how the students would act in hypothetical situations to what they thought proper treatment meant.

Even though Weiss had come to the class hoping to prove herself, she wasn't fully paying attention to what Glynda was saying. As far as the heiress was concerned, she had been treating her teammates just the way one should, so she didn't see any point in listening all that intently to the lecture.

However, Weiss did perk up when Glynda took the papers she had brought with her and started to hand them to the students. Before the white-haired girl managed to ask what the papers were about, the teacher gave her an answer.

"Alright, it's time to fill out your reports on your teams," Glynda said. "Remember, be absolutely honest with what you write down on these papers, as I will personally look through all of them and address anything that seems important. I believe we all learned what happens when you lie on these things through Mr. Winchester."

Upon being mentioned, Cardin had an embarrassed blush on his face and he grumbled something under his breath, not fond of being reminded of his mistakes. The other students snickered a bit at the bully's expense.

It didn't take long for Weiss to get one of the papers. As soon as she did, the fencer looked through it to get a general idea of the things that she was asked. The paper had a few questions on it, all about the general performance of her team and any possible problems that may have come up. It also had a part where you could request possible help in order to take care of problems in the team, if it was deemed necessary.

The heiress already knew what she was going to write and she had a smile on her face from just thinking about what she could get through this.

'It's time I show those three who is the leader in our team,' Weiss thought to herself while writing her report.

It didn't take long for the white-haired girl and the other students to finish writing their reports, which they then gave back to Glynda. With the final part of their class over, all the students got up and left the classroom.

As she left the room, Weiss couldn't help but keep smiling to herself. She was certain that the report she made was going to bring her great enjoyment.

Little did she know what was truly going to happen.

A couple of days passed since Weiss' first team leader class and everything seemed to be well for the most part. The four members of team RWBY were going about their days like they normally would and there didn't seem to be any problems. Their new team leader herself was more relaxed than she used to be not too long ago, as she believed her troubles were finally over. However, she was soon going to find out just how wrong she was.

Weiss had been walking down the hallways towards her team's dorm, whistling happily to herself, when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Ruby standing behind her with a blank expression on her face. The heiress couldn't help but wonder what her partner wanted from her.

"Hello, Ruby," Weiss greeted the younger girl. "Is something wrong?"

"...I told you that those reports are taken very seriously, didn't I?" Ruby said. "Why didn't you believe me?"

"I... don't exactly understand what you're-"

"Ms. Schnee!" a very familiar and angry voice called out to the white-haired girl, scaring her. She looked where the sound came from and saw Glynda Goodwitch standing there and looking VERY unhappy. "Would you mind and come with me? There are some things that I need to discuss with you."

The look the teacher was giving the heiress completely terrified her. Weiss could only wonder what she could have possibly done in order to anger Glynda to such an extent.

"See? I told you," Ruby whispered to her partner. "They take the reports VERY seriously."

After giving the younger girl a glare, Weiss walked up to Glynda, who then led her to the teacher's office. Once there, the heiress was told to stand in front of Glynda's desk while she herself sat down.

"Now, Ms. Schnee. Do you have any idea as to why I brought you here?" the blonde witch asked in a serious tone.

"Ummm... I'm not sure," Weiss answered nervously. "M-Might it have something to do with my report from the team leader class?"

"That would be correct," Glynda replied and took out said report from her desk. "Now, were you aware of the fact that I do actually read these and I take them seriously?"

"I have been told that, yes."

"Then you should have also been aware that when I get a report that speaks of some rather serious problems within a team, I personally go and take a look into the situation. In fact, upon reading YOUR report, I not only went to talk to your teammates about the issues you stated in your report, but I also asked for additional information from other teachers and even your other classmates. That is how bad things seemed to be, based on your report, which is why I took such measures."

Weiss was starting to sweat nervously. She didn't have any idea where this was going, but she was certain that it wouldn't be good.

"Do you know what I found out through my investigations?" Glynda asked. "I found out that either the things you said about your teammates were either exaggerated or completely false!"

"B-B-But Professor Goodwitch, I don't understand!" Weiss cried out. "What do you mean by all of that!?"

"Well, how about we take what you said about both Ms. Xiao Long and Ms. Belladonna for an example!?" the teacher asked angrily, picking up her student's report in order to go through it again. "You said in your report that these two members of your team have shown insubordination and complete ungratefulness towards your actions, which have had nothing more than the best of your teammates in your mind! However, upon asking them about this, I found out just what your actions were! From what I heard, all the things that you were supposedly doing for them were actually just there to help your own ego! Despite your students already performing well enough in school, you tried to force them into a study session they didn't want to take part, and completely ignored their feelings and opinions on this and other matters! I should note that Ms. Xiao Long was far more "colorful" upon telling me just how displeased she was with your actions."

"B-B-But this isn't fair!" the heiress yelled. "How am I in the wrong for trying to look after the academical performance of my teammates!? Or for trying to show them some actual culture for once by taking them to an opera!?"

"While those actions themselves aren't bad, the reason you're in the wrong is because of the accusations you made against your teammates!" Glynda yelled back at her student. "Let me remind you that you accused your teammates of insubordination, which is a rather heavy accusation! But the way I see it, YOU are the one who has caused your teammates to act the way they have by ignoring their feelings! This is hardly fitting for a team leader! However, what you said about Ms. Xiao Long and Ms. Belladonna actually pales in comparison to what you said about Ms. Rose, whom you've accused of deliberately causing strain on your team!"

"I- I mean- She-" Weiss tried to speak up in her defense, but realized just how badly she had messed up. Trying to make excuses would most likely only make things worse, so she decided to stay quiet.

"Don't have anymore excuses? That's surprising, considering what you've said about your partner in your report," the blonde said with disgust in her voice. "The fact that you have tried to put the blame of YOUR own shortcomings as a leader on Ms. Rose is honestly repulsive! I actually talked to several teachers, members of the staff and other students in order to find out the truth! You have some nerve trying to put the things you did on your report! What do you have to say for yourself!?"

"...I'm sorry. It won't happen again," the white-haired girl said so quietly it was almost inaudible.

"You got that right. However, I think it's best I personally make sure that you learn your lesson."

Later that day, the rest of team RWBY got to see what Glynda had meant by making sure that their new team leader would learn her lesson. To say the least, they found it rather amusing.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yang roared with laughter while staring at Weiss. "Y-YOU LOOK SO FAT IN THAT! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Yeah, just laugh it up, Yang..." Weiss muttered angrily, not liking her current predicament.

"As much as I do find this... amusing, I have to admit that pink looks good on you," Blake said while snickering.

In the end, Weiss had received a rather hefty punishment for her actions. Not only did she get a good amount of detention, but she had also been given a special extra task, which was to clean the school's restrooms for an entire week. Right now, the heiress was dressed up in a white outfit that covered most of her body, but was also very loose, causing her body to look a bit bigger than normal. The outfit also came with a pair of pink rubber boots, pink rubber gloves, a pink bandana to cover her hair and a pink rubber apron. To say the least, Weiss was not happy.

"I told you that your report would be taken seriously," Ruby said with a smirk, causing her partner to fume. "You should be glad that your punishment wasn't any worse than this."

"Ugh... I just hope that this nightmare ends as fast as possible," Weiss grumbled. "Honestly, could this get any worse for me?"

"Oh, I'm pretty sure it can!" Yang said with a big grin. "I heard that the cafeteria will be having their menu inspired by food from Vacuo for the week! I hear the food there is rather spicy, so I'm pretty sure you'll be having your hands full of work!"

The white-haired girl simply groaned while dreading the week ahead of her. Her time as a team leader was NOT going as well as she thought.
