Schnee: Hero or Huntress (RWBY/MHA)

Eighty

After that extremely weird discussion with Todoroki, who seriously had bad timing, Weiss found herself back at the UA stadium with the other students. Naturally, she walked with her friends, with the addition of Monoma who kept drawing a bit too close for Weiss' taste. Still, Weiss would try her best to be nicer to people, aside from those who annoyed her or obviously just wanted to use her. 

That distinction was going to be hard to make wasn't it. 

"NOW THAT THE LUNCH BREAK IS OVER, WE SHALL ANNOUNCE THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND SHORTLY." Present Mic screamed as if he was at one of Weiss' concerts. "IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT, DON'T WORRY! IT'S SPORTS DAY NOT SIT AT HOME DAY, SO WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES TO KEEP YOU AND OUR VIEWERS ENTERTAINED." 

The crowd cheered loudly as they walked in. Weiss smiled and waved of course, she had an image to uphold after all. 

"WE EVEN BROUGHT IN CHEERLEADERS FROM AMERICA FOR FANSERVICE." 

Weiss' eyes briefly turned to the girls that formed a line off to the side that danced in ugly orange outfits. 

"At least we don't have to wear that." Kyouka said with her hands behind her head. "Can you imagine if someone tried tricking us into wearing that?" 

"I think you, Momo, and Weissy would look cute in them." Mina grinned with a lazy shrug. "We could've made it work." Yaoyorozu on the other hand, looked rather wary. 

"LET'S HAVE SOME FUN WITH THE RECREATIONAL GAMES! WHEN THAT'S OVER, THE REMAINING SIXTEEN STUDENTS THAT MADE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND SHALL DUKE IT OUT TOURNAMENT STYLE, ONE ON ONE!" Present thundered, cutting off any further conversation. 

This really was starting to remind Weiss of the Vytal Festival, except she would be performing in the tournament, not Yang. Weiss kept smiling as she waved towards her fans that cheered for her, their white wigs and signs with her face making them stand out. She could focus on her…attitude once the Festival was over. Until then, all that mattered was winning. 

"I hope I can make you proud, Ruby." Weiss whispered under her breath. 

She would make team RWBY proud.

-------

"Now let's draw lots to determine the brackets." Midnight returned with a box that had lots written on it sloppily. "Once the brackets are chosen the recreational games shall begin! The sixteen that made it to the last round shall have the choice whether or not to participate." She bit her bottom lip. "I'm sure some of you will want to save your strength for later." 

Her voice sent another shiver down Weiss' spine. She sounded so familiar, but Weiss still couldn't tell why. A mystery for later she supposed. 

"Now for the brackets based off of the drawing!" Midnight swang her riding crop as the large screens around the stadium showed who would be facing each other. Weiss' eyes started from the far left of the screen. 

Tetsutetsu vs Ashido. 

Monoma vs Todoroki. 

Bakugou vs Yaoyorozu

Midoriya vs Hatsume. 

Mineta vs Ochako. 

Schnee vs Kaminari. 

Weiss paused when she found her name, the only one written in English. She was fighting electricity boy huh. She gave Dolt, who was completely made out of metal, a look. Hm, this was workable. She finished reading the bracket.  

Iida vs Tsuyu

Ibara vs Ojiro. 

Weird, most of Class 1A were the ones that made it in, with only two from 1B and Hatsume the lone competitor from the Support course. None of the General education students made it? This seemed a bit unfair, but that was how the world worked, this world at least. 

She would dedicate her halftime show tomorrow for those who didn't make it to the finale. 

If she won her match vs Kyouka's friend, then she would end up either against Mineta or Ochako, the brown haired girl that was always with Midoriya. Speaking of the green haired boy that brought back memories, there was a chance that Weiss would end up facing him as well, should he win the matches that were before him. 

Such a match would prove to be interesting, but that didn't matter because the future wasn't set in stone. The only two she had to worry about was the dog and Todoroki, with their superior fire power.

She tightened her grip on Dolt's hilt. 

"Damn, I'm going to die." An exasperated voice took Weiss out of her thoughts. Angling her head to view the offender, Kaminari was already starting to cry. "Ice Queen's going to murder me. I'd rather fight Bakugou." 

You're a murderer.

"Only if you misbehave." Weiss spoke up, causing Kyouka and Kaminari's head to swerve violently in her direction. 

"Was that a joke?" Kaminari said nervously. Weiss only gave him a smirk in return. 

"You'll find out soon enough." Weiss shrugged. 

See! She was nice after all. 

-------

In the end, Weiss decided not to participate in the recreational activities, sitting alone in one of the rooms that had been prepared for the competitors, with her headphones on. The last tournament she participated in didn't exactly end the way she had thought it would, with team RWBY as the victors of the Vytal Festival, and making Winter proud with her accomplishments. 

No, instead everything was ruined. Beacon fell, parts of the Vale fell to the White Fang and the Grimm, and the deaths of her two closest friends outside of team RWBY. Still, at least Mr. Beethoven's several hundred year old symphonies helped to calm Weiss' nerves. 

Each string, each instrument, they felt as if they were talking to her, an ode to her joy. This tournament would decide her future as a hero, it would shape people's perceptions of her as more than just a singer. Sure she had a few more Sport's festivals to attend once she wasn't a first year, but first impressions were always important. 

Her timer started to ring, which made her take off her headphones just before the symphony reached its crescendo. 

"Yang, Blake, Ruby…" Weiss mumbled as she stood up, perfecting her posture as she moved her bangs out of her sight. 

"Please give me your strength." 

A/N

Nothing much happened here, but it was necessary to set up the fights. The winners of the matches shall be decided at random, since I need to think about who would win a hypothetical fight. 

I'm not going to write all of them, skipping a few here and there cause we don't need to see all of them. 

After the tournament, I plan on writing an interlude or two before jumping into the next arc which is my favorite. I've been planning it in my head for months now. 

And Yes! K/DA will appear more now!

And no, there are no plans to bring in Ruby at the moment. However! There are some omakes on the SpaceBattles forum imagining if Ruby was with Weiss in MHA.

Till next time on Schnee: Hero or Huntress!
