Beacon Academy

Weiss was catching up with her sister

Winter: so Weiss how is your time here?

Weiss: hectic to say the least but a lot of good things did happen, I've made good friends.

She said fondly Winter smiled happy her sister finally being free of their father's manipulations

Winter: you should have seen father's face when you left.

Weiss: aw I didn't see it

Winter: don't worry I got a picture

Winter showed an angry Jacques and they both laughed hard

Winter: so how is your training going?

Weiss: oh I got better with my glyphs I can finally do time dilation.

Winter: and how is your summoning?

Weiss: you know I can't.

Winter: don't be silly most of our family can do it.

Winter suddenly remembers to ask something else

Winter: Weiss do you have information on this boy?

Slides her scroll showing the current Jaune

Weiss surprised but knowing winter is a soldier and is looking for Intel

Weiss: he used to be called Jaune Arc.

Winter: the boy who was expelled from Beacon?

Weiss: yes the same boy who defended Valeron during it's darkest time.

Winter: that was him!? I went to the city to help its citizens. We got to them in time but we were to late to save the guardsmen.

I even visited the memorial to pay respect for the soldiers, the name on the statue only said Jaune.

Weiss: it is him, at first I thought of him as a faker and after our fortune and name, but after seeing him in action.

I saw who he was a kind but stern man who deeply cares for others and willing to put them first before ever thinking about himself.

Winter: hmmm you almost sound smitten, should I be concerned?

Weiss just choked on her tea

Weiss: what!? No no no.

Winter: do you know more? Like how many of this brothers as he call them are?

Weiss: no, so far we've seen only 2 groups of them as he called them the 501st Legion and the 212th Attack Battalion. Now we've seen a new group from the landing pad, that's all I know. I'm sorry I can't help you more sister.

Winter: no that's all right I'm just trying to get all I can. What you said matters.

Weiss: oh I forgot there called clone troopers!

Winter shocked at the fact but refused to accept it

Winter: that's preposterous! There's no technology available to create a clone of a person!

Weiss showed her scroll during her time in Mt.Glenn of clone troopers chatting with their helmets off

Winter: that can't be. If that's the case we need their technology to help Atlas.

Weiss: that would be a problem. They don't trust Atlas.

Winter: and why is that?

Weiss: they've said they have seen Atlas' kind before, in their words. A country under the control of industrialist and wealth families only survive in the world by exploiting anything and everyone around them regardless of the people suffering from their actions.
