Midas' P.O.V.

I crack my knuckles as I begin sliding into my yellow yoga pants and sports bra, stretching one arm and then the other and then onto my legs and tail before I walked out of the room and began making my way down the hall to the elevator. It had been a week since we'd arrived and things could honestly be worse; Jaune, Ren, Nora, and Pyrrha were all super friendly, though Pretz routinely wound up in altercations with Weiss and Blake, Sovea got into little spouts with Yang too, but they seemed not to be as bad as the first one the two had. 

So, at the very least we could be grateful for that, but back to the not so sunny side of things, we have a case of Sovea in detention, Esmeralda hounding our asses, and Pretz NEVER failing to get into something with Weiss and Blake, usually at the same time. It sucks being the normal one sometimes, but I guess somebody has to be, even when your teammates have the nerve to call you a tyrant and a brute. When I said jump, maybe that stupid villager should've asked how high and did it instead of 'what?!' and cowering like a mouse, that's why he was torn apart by Grimm, just like most of the people I go out of my way to help and save.

To think the world lasted this long without a great master like me to take the reigns and lead them, good thing I came when I did or else it may not have lasted a decade longer! But it was even worse that Pretz had been chosen as our leader. How could they possibly pick that idiotic dyke over ME?!

I can still remember the day we were placed on a team together, the initiation mission had been similar yet different from the one used at Beacon. Similar with it being about relic collection, but different with how they were dropped down into Grimm infested caves and forced to fight their way through the hordes. Sure, she'd shouted out instructions and we just so happened to follow them, but that didn't mean anything, that hardly made her qualified to lead!

Pretz only got the role of a leader because it made the team name work, no doubt about it. She'd gotten in my way so damn always, it's like she gets off on sabotaging me and making me look bad, such a little punk! Thinking she's so cool, always correcting us by doing more unnecessary bullshit, what did she have that I don't? Humility? Nah, I've got metric fuck tons of humility, so maybe it's a racist thing because I'm a faunus? That could be it, them trying to bury my greatness just because of my tail and my horns and my shell and claws.

I'm not even the only one she screws over, just take one look at poor Esmeralda, Pretz practically ruined every attempt she made to ask Nebula out, it took Sun and Sage helping to keep watch and keep the leader away from the area, it wouldn't work with the girl around, that was just a guarantee; thankfully though, in the end Esmeralda did succeed and her and Nebula became one of the most popular pairs in Shade. They'd been pretty down about having to be so far apart, but they still wrote and called each other a few dozen times a day, you'd never think that Esmeralda was the clingy type, but...

Regardless, Pretz could've botched that up for her just like she constantly botches up leading us and she'd no doubt lead us to an early grave if I wasn't as powerful and fantastic as I was. Though, for now at least, I'll continue to suffer in silence and plot my coup de ta, one day I'll lead this team to victory and bring it to greatness, no matter what I've gotta do.

Just as I hit the button for the elevator I heard a loud "Hey! Could you hold the lift?!" I looked out of the sliding doors and saw Pyrrha dashing forward in her tight black exercise clothes, a towel over her shoulder and a water bottle in her hand, the other extended outward toward me. Well, what else am I supposed to do? She sees that I see her, we don't need it getting any more awkward around here, so I extend my own hand and hold it for her, the redhead smiling "Thank you."
