Ruby's white knight

Ruby's white knight chapter 4

The Knight's first battle
Weiss POV

Weiss was getting ready for her first real battle. Not her first battle ever mind you. Just her first battle with her feelings on the line. It was very simple. If Weiss loses she reads the first love letter she ever wrote to all of team RWBY. Including the one, it was intended for. And yes I said first because she wrote many many more. Never being delivered of course. Now if she won Weiss and Ruby would both get permission to take a whole week off to visit her mother's grave. More then enough time to get there and back she could have Ruby to her self for three days. The only problem was the man setting up the chess board. Weiss had been sitting as Ozpin had been getting everything ready. She had sat down on one of the vary comfortable chairs. That she had brought from against the wall. To the middle of the room as instructed by Ozpin. He had got his own chair as well. Next, he retrieved a small table from the corner of the room set the chessboard on it. Now both sitting in the middle of the room. Chess board on the table and ready to go. Ozpin asked.

"Witch color miss Schnee" a light smile was on Weiss's face.

"And why should I chose professor Ozpin I challenged you"

"Did you not know the challenger picks a color and whatever ruleset they want.

"Then I'll take white." Still a light smile on her face. But it took all she had to not break into a big smile. So instead to stop herself she thought. I have won.

Ozpin handed her the white pieces and set up his own. Once they were both done. The two took some time to collect their thoughts and make strategies. Ozpin being the one to suggest this. When they where both finished Ozpin spoke first.

"Are you ready." Was all he needed to say.

"Yes, I am." Was Weiss's quite and confident response. And so it begins.

They started out pretty evenly matched. But as Weiss expected Ozpin started to slowly outwit her. What started out a pretty even was now in Ozpin's favor

"You're doing better then I thought you would. I wasn't this good at your age." Ozpin said while taking one of Weiss's pawn. "You have a real talent for this game. But" he paused watching her next move than making his own. "I'm vary glad I didn't make your team leader. I can see now for sure that I was right in that decision. Just from this match alone, I can see you aren't a fit for a leader.

Weiss's hand froze over her piece trying to think of what to say. "Yes," she then made her move picking off one of Ozpin's pawns. "I'm glad to. I am not fit to be a leader nor will I ever be. Thank you for choosing Ruby." Weiss was being honest with herself. Right now at this moment. She was not lying to herself or anybody else. It would be an understatement to say Ozpin was surprised. He may not have been well acquainted with her but he still taught some class with her in them. And saw how prideful she could be. Getting back on track.

"If you agree then why challenge me." He said without any smirk or teasing he was being serious.

"It doesn't matter if I'm going to lose. I still had to try. It's not like I have zero chance. And besides, if I do lose I'll have to do something I've been too weak to do. Something that should have been done by now." She said with absolute resolve. No fear anywhere to be found. She was ready for any outcome. And she was not without a plan. That being said she thought it time to unleash her plan. She took yet another one of Ozpin's pawn losing a rook. In the process.

Ozpin stared to think this to be wired. Why keep going after my pawns they aren't close to getting to the back to be changed. And if they where she would get them in her next turn. Why the pawns what's her goal. As Ozpin thought this Weiss made a big mistake. She left her king wide open for check. Ozpin was confused. No way she would make a mistake like this right. She left her king wide open. She must be baiting me but why. If I check her she'll just retreat her king behind her pawns. But then again I won't lose any pieces from this move either. The worst she can do is take my bishop. And get check herself. But that might be good. If I take her bluff I can set my own trap up. Fine miss Schnee I'll take your bluff and set my own trap. Ozpin took his bishop not putting his king in check. As that would be against the rules. And put Weiss in check saying.
