The opening ends to a view of several ships carrying students and docking at the entrance of the school. As soon as one lands, Jaune Arc emerges and goes over to the nearest trash can, hunching over it as he loses his lunch.

JP, Ruby, and Yang, alongside several other students, walk out of the ship and head down the paved path to the front of the school.

JP, Ruby, and Yang: (as they take in the entirety of Beacon Academy) "Wow..."

Yang: "The view from Vale's got nothing on this!"

Ruby: (getting so excited she becomes a 2-D, starry-eyed, floating chibi) "Ohmygosh, sis! That kid's got the Destiny Heroes! She's got the Harpy Ladies!" (she tries getting closer, but Yang pulls her sister by the hood back into realistic proportions) "Ow! Ooww!"

Yang: "Easy there, little sister. They're just decks!"

Ruby: " 'Just decks'"? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool!"

JP: I get what you mean, Ruby. (Thoughts) I am the Collector after all.

Yang: "Well, why can't you swoon over your own deck? Aren't you happy with it?"

Ruby: (pulls out her own deck) "Of course I'm happy with my Melodious deck! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."

Yang: (playfully pushing her sister's hood down over her face) "Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"

Ruby: (taking off her hood) "But... why would I need friends if I have you and JP?"

Yang: "Well..." (in a flash, a group of other students surround Yang and they all dash down the road) "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. 'Kay, see ya, bye!"

Ruby: (spinning and dizzy-eyed from Yang's sudden leaving) "Wait, where are you going?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms?" (stopping for a moment, still reeling) "I don't know what I'm doing..."

Ruby falls backwards into a luggage cart, sending cases flying. Someone is standing over her.

Weiss: "What are you doing?!"

Ruby: (getting up on her hands) "Uh, sorry!"

Weiss: "Sorry?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused?"

Ruby: (holding a case) "Uuhhh..."

Weiss: "Give me that!" (she snatches the luggage from Ruby and opens it to reveal its shiny contents) "These are cards - created from the Schnee Corp!"

Ruby: "Uuuhhhh..."

Weiss: "What are you, brain-dead?" (holding out a spell card and shutting the case) "Traps! Spells, Field spells, Quick spells, Counter traps!"

Ruby: "I... I know..."

Weiss: "Are you even listening to me? Is any of this sinking in? What do you have to say for yourself?!"

Ruby sees Hinomata.

Ruby: Hey! I got this one!

JP: Ruby, no!

Ruby activates the card which causes a huge explosion. The card she had been holding flies over the courtyard and at the feet of Blake Belladonna, who picks it up and notices the Schnee Card Company logo on the side as she reads from a book and looks over at the scene.

Weiss: (now covered in soot, though it quickly disappears) "Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"

Ruby: (apologetic and embarrassed) "I'm really, really sorry!"
