We now start by seeing Xander, ruby and June as they enter Beacon Academy's giant auditorium, filled to the brim with people. They soon turn to see Yang who's waving at them

Yang: Ruby! Xander! Over here! I saved you both a spot!

Ruby: [looks at june] Oh! Hey, we gotta go! I'll see you after the ceremony!

Xander: bye "he says as they leave"

June: hey, wait! [sighs] Ah, great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl and cute boy to talk to?!

Yang: how's your first day going, little sister?

Ruby: you mean since you ditched us and I exploded?

Yang: yikes! Meltdown already?

Ruby: no, I literally exploded a hole in front of the school! And there was some fire, and I think some ice...?

Yang: are you being sarcastic?

Xander: no this really happened

Ruby: I wish! I tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then she yelled at me, and then I sneezed, and then I exploded, and then she yelled at me again, and I felt really, really bad, and I just wanted her to stop yelling at me!

Weiss: you!

Ruby: [jumps in Xander's arms] Oh, God, it's happening again!

Weiss: you're lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!

Yang: [deadpan] Oh my God, you really exploded

Ruby: It was an accident. It was an accident! [gets handed a book] what's this?

Xander: dust for dummies?

Weiss: the Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy to follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field

Ruby: uuhhh?

Weiss: you really wanna start making things up to me?

Ruby: Absolutely?

Weiss: [hands pamphlet] read this, and don't ever speak to me again

Yang: look, uh, it sounds like you two just got off on the wrong foot. Why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?

Ruby: yeah! Great idea, sis! [sticks out hand] Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!

Weiss: Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, black, and red over there!

Ruby: wow, really?!

Weiss: [glares] no

There attention is soon draw drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpina is readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him

Ozpina: I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step

As she walks off glynda walks to the mic

Glynda: you will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed
