The opening ends with Weiss Schnee, now back in her regular attire, readying her Myrtenaster at the growling creature in the cage barely seen at the end of the last episode. Her teammates cheer her on from their seats in the front row.

Yang raises her fist and yells, "Goooo, Weiss!"

Blake waves a small flag saying "RWBY", "Fight well!"

"Yeah, represent Teeeeam RWBY!" Ruby said

Weiss lowers her sword and looks over at her "leader", "Ruby! I'm trying to focus!"

"Oh, um... Sorry..." Ruby sheepishly

"Allllright! Let the match... begin!" Port says standing next to the cage pulling out his ax. I sit there ready and hoping to see the Grimm beat Icy.

The professor swings down and breaks the lock, dropping the cage door and revealing the Boarbatusk inside, which immediately charges at Weiss. She uses Myrtenaster to deflect its attack and roll to the side, readying herself for its next move. The Grimm stands a distance away from its enemy, studying her.

"Ha-ha! Wasn't expecting that, were you?" Port asked

"Hang in there, Weiss!" Ruby yelled

Weiss is now speeding towards the oncoming Boarbatusk, sticking her blade straight at its skull until they meet and Myrtenaster is trapped in the beast's tusks. Weiss is still hanging on to the hilt, and is tossed around as she struggles to get the rapier back.

"Bold, new approach. I like it!" Port said

"Come on, Weiss, show it who's boss!" Ruby yelled

Weiss turns to glare at Ruby, only for the Boarbatusk to turn its head and rip the sword from her grip. Myrtenaster lands far away from its master, who is knocked back by the creature's tusks.

"Oh-ho! Now what will you do without your weapon?" Port asked

Weiss looks up just in time to see the Boarbatusk charge again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid getting trampled and make it crash into a desk. Weiss rushes at her sword and slides to get it back in her hand.

"Weiss! Go for its belly! There's no armor underneath-" Ruby starts to tell her

"Stop telling me what to do!" Weiss yelled finally having enough

Ruby looks hurt at Weiss' rebuttal. Meanwhile, the Boarbatusk leaps into the air and rolls into a ball, spinning rapidly in the air and landing on the ground, consistently gaining speed until it launches itself at Weiss. It comes closer and closer, but Weiss activates one of her blue-white circles and blocks the roll, leaping up into the now-black snowflake symbol and turning it blue again so she can drive the blade into the Boarbatusk's stomach. It squeals and falls silent while Weiss gasps in relief.

"Bravo! Bra-vo! It appears we are indeed in the presence of a true Huntress-in-training!" Port says as Weiss stands up at attention from her exhausted position and Ruby continues to frown

Weiss glares and turns away, walking hurriedly to the exit past her teammates.

"Sheesh, what's with her?" Jaune asked seeing Weiss leave

"I have no idea." Rayelle said

The remaining members of Team RWBY look at each other with the same question.

Weiss is still storming off, but Ruby turns a corner and manages to catch up with her.

"Weiss!" Ruby yelled

"What?" Weiss said turning around

"What's wrong with you? Why are you being-?" Ruby is interrupted again
