Ironwood: I am sorry, but you left us with  no choice.

Yang: But he attacked me !

Ironwood: Video fotage and millions of viewers are saying otherwise

Ironwood is in Team RWBY dorm talking to the team, mainly Yang, because of what happened in the arena earlier. Y/N and Chad invited themselves.

Weiss: But Yang would never do that !

Ruby: Yeah !

Yang put her head in her hands let a sad sigh, not really knowing what to do.

Ironwood: You all seems to be good students and the staff here must be fully aware that you would never lash out the way you did, under normal circumstances. But I believe, and hope, that is nothing but the result of stress and adrenaline. When you're in the battle field your judgment can become clouded, in an instant sometimes you see things that simply aren't there, even after the fight has passed.

Y/N: Speak from experience ?

Ironwood: Yes.

Yang: But I wasn't-

Ironwood: That's enough !

This outburst make shut team RWBY, however Y/N and Chad activated theirs fullbrings ready to fight Ironwood, which he notice immediately. 

Ironwood: What are you two doing ?

Y/N: Careful of what you are doing, General.

Chad: We are not your usual dogs that you can order. Please, mind your emotions.

Ironwood sigh, seeing the duo ready to attack him simply because he raised his voice toward RWBY. Blake is surprised at Chad aggressiveness since he's not the type to be like this, the other member are also surprised since they though Y/N and Chad wouldn't start a fight with someone as high ranked as General Ironwood.

Unfortunately for the girls, they don't care about such things.

Ironwood: The sad truth is wether it was an accident or an assault, It doesn't matter. The world saw you attack an innocent student.

Y/N:"Innocent my ass, It's written shady all over his face"

Ironwood: They already drawn theirs own conclusions and it's my job to inform you that you're disqualified.

Hearing this leave Yang speechless.

Chad: What If, it is neither an accident or an assault ?

Ironwood: What do you mean to say ?

Chad: We an sense peoples aura, and we felt a strange flutuation in Emerald aura, meaning that she used her semblance.

Ironwood: You expect me to believe you, just like that ?

Y/N: Pretty much. We don't really have evidence.

Ironwood look at Y/N, sigh and walk of the dorm. The teens are left alone in silence, while Y/N and Chad deactivate theirs fullbrings.

Yang: You guys believe me, right ?

Ruby Duh !

Weiss: You're hotheaded but not ruthless.

Chad: Yes, without saying.

Y/N: Yeah, you're dumb but not a bad person.

Yang: Hey !

Blake:....

Yang: Blake ?

Blake: I want to believe you.
