02x05 - Extracurricular

[bunniefuu]

There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks

There's a point where it bends and the point we just can't take anymore

There's a line that we’ll cross And there’s no return

There's a time and a place No bridges left to burn

Anymore!

We can’t just wait with lives at stake

Until they think we’re ready

Our enemies are gathering

The storm is growing deadly

Now it's time to say goodbye

To the things we loved

And the innocence of youth

How the time seemed to fly

From our carefree lives

And the solitude and peace we always knew

Glynda: And that's the match.

[Cardin groans] Lucky sh*t.

Well done Ms. Nikos.

You should have no problem qualifying for the tournament.

Thank you, professor.

All right.

Now I know that's a tough act to follow, but we have time for one more sparring match.

Any volunteers?

Miss Belladona?

You've been rather docile for the past few classes.

Why don't you-

Mercury: I'll do it.

Mercury, is it?

Very well.

Let's find you an opponent.

Mercury: Actually.

I wanna fight...

...her.

Me?

I'm afraid Miss Nikos has just finished the match.

I recommend you choose another partner.

No, It's fine!

I'd be happy to oblige.

Hey, your friend's doing pretty good.

I forfeit.

You...

...don't even want to try?

What's the point?

You're a world-renowned fighter. We're obviously leagues apart.

Glynda: In that case...

Pyrrha Nikos is the victor of the match...

...again.

Next time you might want to think a little harder before choosing an opponent.

I'll be sure to do that.

Glynda: That is all for today.

And remember, the dance is this weekend. But you all have your first mission on Monday.

I will not accept any excuses.

Learning is so much fun.

Sun: Hey, Blake!

You uh... doin' okay?

I'm fine.

[Sun clears his throat.]

So I hear that there's this dance going on this weekend,

And it sounds pretty lame, but,

You and me, I'm thinking, not as lame, huh?

What?

The dance! This weekend! You wanna go, or what?

I don't have time for a stupid dance.

I thought you of all people would get that.

Blake: You what?!

Ruby: We want you to go to the dance.

That's ridiculous.

Blake, we're worried about you.

This investigation is starting to mess with your head.

You can't sleep, you hardly eat, and to be honest, your grades have been suffering.

You think I care about grades?

People's lives are at stake!

We know, and we're also trying to figure out what Torchwick is up to.

Thanks to you and Sun, we know that they're operating somewhere outside of southeast Vale.

And, the Schnee company records singled out Vale as the primary target for Dust robberies over the last few months.

Don't forget about their missing m*llitary tech too.

But there're still unanswered questions!

Blake, you won't be able to find anything if you can't even keep your eyes open.

All we're asking is that you take it easy for one day.

It will be fun! Yang and I will make sure of it.

Yeah! We're planning the whole event!

Excuse me?

Team CFVY's away mission lasted quite longer than expected.

Team CFVY's = pronounced as "Coffee"

So, Weiss and I decided to pick up where they left off.

And now we can make sure you can have the perfect night.

And once it's all over, we'll return to our search, rested and ready.

So, what do you think?

I think this is a colossal waste of time.

I'll be in the library.

[Yang sighs]

Great.

She can't keep going on like this.

[Guitar strums]

Weiss~♫

[Jaune knocks]

Jaune: Awwww, come on. [knocks again]

Open the dooooor...

Jaune: I promise not to sing.

♫ I lied~! ♫

♫ Weiss Schnee~ ♫

♫ Will you accompany me~? ♫

♫ To the dance~ ♫ On~♪

♫ Sunday~?♫

Are you done?

Yes?

No.

What?

And that is why they call you the Ice Queen.

All my life, boys have only cared about the perks of my last name.

Besides,

I already have a date in mind.

Date or no date...

None of this will matter if we can't get Blake to go.

[Laughing] Well done!

Your swordplay's improved immensely.

Couldn't have done it without ya.

So!

Are you ready to move on to Aura?

I'm actually thinking maybe we just skip Aura tonight?

Might go on a jog or something.

Come on!

I know you get frustrated.

But you must keep trying.

I'm sure we'll discover your Semblance any day now.

Thats...

...not it.

It's just... [sighs]

It's dumb.

What is it?

Jaune...

You know you can tell me.

It's...

Weiss.

Oh.

What about her?

I asked her to the dance and she sh*t me down.

Big surprise, right?

Well...

Well, I believe the saying goes: There's...

...plenty of fish in the sea.

That's easy for you to say. You've probably got guys clamoring over each other just to ask you out.

[Pyrrha half-heartedly laughs]

You'd be surprised.

Oh, please!

If you don't get a date to the dance, I'll wear a dress.

Emerald: And finally, Pyrrha Nikos.

Ah... the invincible girl.

She's smart.

But I wouldn't say invincible.

Do tell.

Her semblance is Polarity.

But... you'd never know just by watching.

After she made contact with my boots, she was able to move them around however she wanted.

But she only made slight adjustments.

Just enough to make it look like she's untouchable.

She doesn't broadcast her power, so it puts her opponents at a disadvantage.

Hmm... People assume she's fated for victory.

When she's really taking fate into her own hands.

Interesting.

Add her to the list.

You should be able to take her no problem.

It's not about overpowering the enemy.

It's about taking away what power they have.

And we will.

In time.

I hate waiting.

Don't worry, Mercury.

We have a fun weekend ahead of us.
