Pyyhra sat up in her bed, lost in her own thoughts. It was late at night, and the rest of beacon was asleep, but not pyyhra. She should be asleep, but the dread of what would happen tomorrow morning kept her awake. Tomorrow was the day she would fight Weiss in combat class, and she was not excited. after all, Weiss and her team had defeated legendary criminal Roman torchwick! Sure Pyyhra was a world-renowned fighter, but not even she had been able to defeat the criminal. She shook those thoughts out of her head and laid her head on her pillow. She would leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow's her.

---------------------------

Weiss sat in the cafeteria, enjoying breakfast with her team, and the paparazzi. Yang seemed to be loving it, talking to the crowd and bosting about herself. She even posed for them, as some quickly snapped pictures for god knows that purpose. Blake seemed annoyed, she was a girl who liked her privacy, and all these people they didn't know were invading it. She attempted to take out her book, only to be instantly questioned by someone in the crowd

???; what book is that?

Blake turned red in ambaresment and hid the book under her leg, she ignored the crowd and kept eating, staring blankly forward. Ruby seemed very overwhelmed by all the attention, with people constantly ogling at her.

???: Aww she's so cute!

???2: Why does she eat so many cookies?

???3: well it works for her! maybe we should start eating cookies?

Ruby kept her head down and her hood on, trying to block out the noise and people. She looked towards her sister for help, only to see her paying more attention to the crowd than her own sister.  Weiss didn't know why Blake and ruby weren't enjoying the spotlight, they had all the friends they could ever want and were no longer shunned by half the school. But Weiss knew this would all be temporary, eventually, them defeating roman would become old news, and their popularity would fade away. That couldn't happen, Weiss wouldn't allow it to happen, she had worked too hard to gain all this, she was not going to lose it. Today was the day she was going to fight pyyhra Nikos, and if she won, her popularity would be assured. But Weiss knew she was not strong enough to defeat Pyyhra, so she had a trick up her sleeve. A gift from her father that would surely turn the tide of the battle in her favor.

----------------

Pyyhra arrived early to combat class and sat in her team's usual spot. She pondered over what she had heard Jaune say to her the other day, or at least who she thinks was Jaune.

'Don't trust ozpin'

Why not? Ozpin was a trusted headmaster who had never lead her astray, but he did lie about the tree. Could Jaune know something she didn't?

???: Hey!

Pyyhra was awoken from her thoughts by one Weiss Schnee standing in front of her, her click not far away.

Weiss: You ready to lose our duel today?

Pyyhra stood to face the ice queen

Pyyhra: I'm ready to beat you.

Weiss snorted

Weiss: Beat me? How are you going to beat me? I defeated roman torchwick!

Pyyhra cut her off

Pyyhra: With the help of your team, your nothing without them.

Weiss gritted her teeth as Goodwitch walked in, silencing the class. Weiss shot a glare at pyyhra as her team sat next to her

Nora: She's such a prick!

Ren elbowed Nora

Ren: Nora!

Nora: what?

Goodwitch silenced the class once again and began to speak

Goodwitch: Today is the third day of combat trials, please remember these contribute to your grade. Now, who would like to go first?

Weiss stood and raised her hand

Weiss: I would ms goodwitch!

Goodwitch nodded

Goodwitch; and your opponent? Who would like to fight ms Schnne?

Pyyhra raised her hand

Pyyhra: I would ms goodwitch!

The students began to whisper to one and another, Weiss vs Pyyhra! Who would win? Sure pyhhra was a veteran when it came to fighting, but Weiss defeated Roman torchwick!

Goodwitch: Alright, please go to your respective lockers and prepare for the match.

The two girls went to their lockers, neither saying a word to the other. As pyyhra put her armor on, Weiss finally spoke to her

Weiss: You know, you can still give up.

Pyyhra chuckled

Pyyhra: Give up? Why would I give up?

Weiss turned to face Pyyhra

Weiss: I did defeat roman torchwick.

Pyyhra rolled her eyes

Pyyhra: really? I had no idea! You did it with your team, your nothing without them.

Weiss's hands balled into fists

Weiss: Your one to talk about teams, you let your leader and partner eat the apple! You let him do that! You can't say I dont reconize my team when you did that!

Pyyhra sat frozen on the bench, her mind going back to that time

--------------------

Jaune garbbed the apple from the branch, taking a bite out of it. As he did it turned black and rotten, and he started to scream in pain. Black Goo porred over his body, as 4 long black tentacles tore themselves free from his back.

---------------------

Pyyrha stood up and shoved Weiss into a locker, speaking in a low harsh tone

Pyyhra: I tried to save Jaune, he was my best friends, partner and leader. Don't you ever say I didn't try.

Pyyhra let Weiss go, and walked out to the main area of the combat room. Weiss scowled and followed her out

———————————

Pyyhra and Weiss stood on opposite sides of the combat room, both armed and ready for their fight.

Goodwitch: are both party's ready?

Pyhrra nodded and Weiss responded

Weiss: yes ms goodwitch.

Goodwitch nodded and raised her hand

Goodwitch: begin!

(Editors note: Yes Pyyhra's "sword" is technically an Xhophos, but it's legit just a sword but called something different. It's pretty much just a short sword, so I'm gonna call it a sword.) 

Pyhrra switches her sword to rifle mode, taking it out and firing at Weiss. Weiss changed her rapier's dust canister and aimed it at the floor, creating an ice wall that blocked all the bullets. Pyhrra switched back to her sword moving towards Weiss at fast speeds, as Weiss met Pyyhra head-on. She blocked Pyyhra first few strikes, going for a fencing like pose, in contrast to Pyyhra knight like pose. 

Weiss went on the defensive,  blocking pyyhras fast and powerful strikes, and going on the defensive. She moved with perfect form, blocking each of Pyyhra's strikes with precision and grace. Pyyhra pushed Weiss closer and closer to the edge of the arena, and Weiss knew this, as she tossed some ice dust at her opponent's feet, freezing her in place. Pyyhra broke out quickly, but Weiss had already moved away from her back to the middle of the arena. 

Weiss raised her blade up and felt it fall slightly to the side as Pyyhra ran at her again, and Weiss smiled a dark smile. As Pyyhra approached Weiss, Weiss threw a metal capsule at Pyyhra, who moved it away from her with her semblance. Weiss smiled as the capsule flew past Pyyhra, opening and releasing a chunk of fire dust, which promptly exploded, and engulfed Pyyhra. Pyyhra began to sweat and fell to her knees, as Weiss seemingly towered over her and began to taunt her. 

Weiss; You thought I didn't notice all your opponents weapons falling to the side, or even just moving by themselves?  Polarity is a great semblance, isn't it Pyyhra? Your practically a giant magnet, if your semblance is activated that is. 

Pyyhra's eyes widened as the fire crackled around her 

Weiss: And Magnets lose their charge when heated. 

Goodwitch raised her riding crop 

Goodwitch: The winner is Weiss Schnee!
