-Roland's POV-

As I got to Professor's Port class, I noticed that many students had already arrived before me. I then took the seat nearest to the window and took out my sketchbook and pencils and started drawing. As Professor Port was about to start the class, team RWBY and JNPR burst into the room and took their seats. Although the class started, I paid no attention to it as I drew the scenery outside the classroom in my sketchbook until the class ended with Weiss fighting a Boarbatusk and having an argument with Ruby after class.

Roland: 'I know those two will make up with each other later, so I don't think I'll need to intervene here.'

I thought as I was approached by Ruby after the class ended.

Ruby: "Hey Roland, I want your advice on something."

Roland: 'I'd like to not involve myself in this matter, but.' "Let me guess it's about the fight you had with Weiss earlier."

Ruby: "Yeah... exactly, do you think I deserve to be leader of team RWBY? Do you think Ozpin made a bad decision?"

Roland: "I think not... Look, I trust that Ozpin made the right decision in making you the team leader, but you must have faith in yourself and your teammates if you want to be a good leader. Got it?"

Ruby: "But what if I'm not good enough?"

Roland: "If you aren't good enough, try polishing yourself. Focus on what you can do and try to give it your very best effort. It's okay to fail, but you must put in the effort in the first place, OK?"

I said as I patted Ruby on the head, making her blush a little.

Ruby: "Uh-um, thank you for the pep talk, Roland."

Roland: "No problem little rose, now take care of yourself, OK?"

I said as I continued to my other classes until the schoolday ended. As night came, I listened in to Ruby and Weiss making up with each other.

Roland: 'Guess they made up. My job here is done.'

-Timeskip-

I am currently in Glynda's class watching Cardin beating the shit out of Jaune as he is hit by The Executioner, sending him careening into the ground as Cardin continues to beat him while he's down.

Glynda: "Cardin, that's enough!"

She said as Cardin relents in beating Jaune as she walked onto the stage.

Glynda: "Students, as you can see, Mr. Arc's Aura has now dropped into the red. In a tournament-styled duel, this would indicate that Jaune is no longer fit for battle, and that the official may call the match."

She said as she turned her head towards Jaune who was still lying on the ground.

Glynda: "Mr. Arc, it's been weeks now. Please try to refer to your Scroll during combat. Gauging your Aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack, or when it is better to move to a more defensive strategy. We wouldn't want you to be gobbled up by a Beowolf, now, would we?"

Cardin: "Speak for yourself."

Glynda: "Remember, everyone, the Vytal Festival is only a few months away! It won't be long before students from the other kingdoms start arriving in Vale, so keep practising! Those who choose to compete in the combat tournament will be representing all of Vale!"
