The opening ends to the window overlooking Beacon Academy from the new room of Team RWBY, panning over to Weiss Schnee sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning, while Ruby Rose, dressed in her strangely-colored school uniform, creeps up on her side and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed.
"Good morning, team RWBY!" Ruby yelled
"What in the world is wrong with you?" Weiss said from the floor
"Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business." Ruby said ignoring Weiss's question
"Excuse me?" Weiss said getting up and brushing herself off
"Decorating!" Yang says holding a collection of pillows, pamphlets, and a candle holder.
"What?!" Weiss yelled
"We still have to unpack. And clean." Blake replies after her suitcase spills open.
Weiss does not look enthusiastic, especially when Ruby knocks her back again with the blow of her whistle.
"Aaaalright! Weiss, Blake, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission! Banzai!" Ruby says and raises her fist into the air.
Ruby with Blake and Yang doing the same at her sides say "Banzai!" they turn at an angle as Weiss lays on the floor and upbeat montage music starts playing.
Yang places a poster of six guys in various poses named "THE ACHIEVE MEN" on her part of the room. Weiss positions the painting of the Forever Fall forest to perfection and walks away. Blake is busy putting away her books on the shelves, picking up a copy of Ninjas of Love and widening her eyes as she warily looks around before putting it back. Ruby positions Crescent Rose at an exact angle against the curtains so she can perfectly slash a diagonal portion off. A quick zoom around the room and the repaired curtains ends with the girls admiring their handiwork... with one problem. The beds are crammed together in the center of the floor.
"This isn't going to work." Weiss said
"It is a bit cramped." Blake said agreeing
"Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff..." Yang suggested
"Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!" Ruby said
"Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous." Weiss said
"And super-awesome!" Yang yelled
"It does seem efficient." Blake said
"Well, we should put it to a vote!" Weiss said
"I think we just did." Ruby told her
To the sounds of two dings and a single buzz, Blake thumbs up the idea, Yang makes a double-rocker gesture, and Weiss angrily curls her fists at her side. Decided, they rush at the beds, where sounds of jackhammering and sawing are heard until they gather back at the front of the room.
"Objective: Complete!" Ruby said
While Weiss' bed is simply on the ground next to her art and luggage, Blake's bed is next to her books, which are used to raise Yang's bed over it by placing the novels on the posts, and Ruby's is hanging from ropes on the ceiling with a blanket used as a tent over it.
"Allllright! Our second order of business iiiiiiiis...! Classes... Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be-" Ruby says with her school things landing on her lap when Weiss interrupts her.
"What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?" Weiss asked
"Uuuum..."
"It's 8:55, you dunce!" Weiss yelled
Weiss is the first to rush out of the room and down the hall, the members of RWBY and JNPR peeking out from their doorways to look at her.
"To class!" Ruby yelled flabbergasted
Ruby runs out, followed by Yang, and Blake.
"Class...?" Jaune answers.
Jaune loses his balance and ends up toppling Rayelle Branwen, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren on top of him. He manages to get out from under them and start dashing.
"We're gonna be late!" Jaune yelled
In the courtyard, Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch watch the two teams hurry through the school. Glynda looks at her watch, and Ozpin simply sips his coffee.
The sight of an axe-blunderbuss weapon pans down to the boards displaying various species of Grimm - King Taijitu, Death Stalker, Beowolf, Boarbatusk, Nevermore, and Ursa - behind an elderly teacher named Peter Port.
"Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" Professor Port yells running around his room as we watch him.
The members of RWBY, seated on the front row, are in varying stages of interest; Blake and Yang are sitting up and paying attention, Weiss is taking notes, and Ruby has her head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result.
"Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..." He says and gives Yang a wink, which she groans uncomfortably at while I give him the devil stare from across the room.
"Ayyyy-yep!" A student says as he raises his fists, then stands like this for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed.
"That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy..." Port trails off as I sit in class.
His words fade into the background (and a series of "blah"s when Weiss notices Ruby is very focused on penciling the paper in front of her.
"...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me..." Port continues.
The speech evolves into more "blah"s as Ruby snickers at her creation and shows it to her teammates: A general ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Blake and Yang are heard laughing, but Weiss looks annoyed.
"Ah-heh-hem!" Port says which makes Rayelle glance at her cousins. Port waits until he has their attention again.
The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's antics.
"The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!" Poet asks and exclaims at them.
Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face.
"A true Huntsman must be dependable!" Port tells the class.
Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year.
"A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!" Port keeps explaining.
Ruby is not-so-subtly picking her nose, much to Weiss' building anger.
"So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?" Port continues.
Weiss, still angry, raises her hand, "I do, sir!"
"Well, then, let's find out! Step forward, and face your opponent!" Port says as he turns and gestures a shadow with glowing red eyes.
The unknown monster continues to growl as the scene cuts to black and the credits roll.
