Chapter 4: A Step into the Unknown

As the morning wore on, the team's conversation turned to their upcoming training session with Professor Port. Weiss, still a bit self-conscious about her revelation, excused herself to grab a drink from the kitchen. As she walked away, Ruby caught her eye and smiled knowingly. "I'm glad you're taking a step out of your comfort zone, Weiss," Ruby said, her voice low. "You deserve it." Weiss's cheeks flushed slightly, but she smiled back at Ruby. "Thanks, Ruby. I think I needed that." The rest of the team began to disperse, with Blake and Yang heading to the training room to start setting up for their session with Professor Port. Weiss, feeling a bit more energized, decided to join them. As they worked, Weiss couldn't help but think about the person she had met the day before. She had tried to brush it off as a fleeting encounter, but her mind kept wandering back to the charming smile and piercing blue eyes. Who was this person, and why did she feel so drawn to them? Just as Weiss was starting to get lost in thought, Professor Port walked into the training room, a stern expression on his face. "Alright, team. Let's get started. Today, we're going to be working on our combat tactics." The team snapped into attention, their eyes fixed on Professor Port as he began to explain the day's training objectives. Weiss, however, couldn't shake the feeling that her life was about to change in ways she couldn't yet imagine. As the training session progressed, Weiss found herself pushing herself harder than usual. She was determined to prove to herself that she was capable of more, and that she was willing to take risks to get there. During a particularly intense drill, Weiss found herself paired up against Blake. The two of them clashed, their swords flashing in the light as they exchanged blows. Weiss was in her element, her focus solely on the battle at hand. But as she landed a particularly impressive strike, she caught sight of a figure watching from the sidelines. It was a woman with piercing blue eyes and a charming smile, the same woman Weiss had met the day before. Weiss's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and for a moment, she forgot about the training session altogether. Who was this woman, and what did she want?
