Hi guys and gals! Sorry for the absurd delay in chapters, christmas time is busy for me, unfortunately. A short notice before we start, this is going to be the final chapter, as I had wanted to see how I felt about writing these types of stories, and I'm afraid these types weren't for me. Anyways, please enjoy the chapter!


Some time after the issue with Ruby was dealt with, both her and Weiss started rising in marks, to the point where Ruby, Weiss and Vengarl were the top 3 students in their classes. With the final tests coming up for the first semester, Weiss decided it would be best to beat Vengarl in the tests rather than in anything else, so, for weeks she studied hard, during lunchtime and during breaks, on weekends and holidays, she became something akin to a hermit, blocking everything out in an attempt to best her rival. "Hey Weiss!" Ruby called from the doorway of their dormitory. "We're going to go down to Vale, you wanna come?" She asks, receiving nothing in return. Soon after, a door slam was heard. She could have no interruptions.

When the day finally rolled around, Weiss both left and entered first, then headed to her dormitory room and waited patiently for the results. A few days later, she received them. Skipping over the less important things, she wound up at the bottom of the list. "The moment of truth.." Taking a big breath, she looked at who came first.

Weiss Schnee, 98%, Vengarl Midway, 97%.

Weiss cheered loudly, all while trying to hold in her excitement. "I did it! I beat him!" Ruby, Yang and Blake looked towards her.

"Are you still obsessed with that boy, Weiss? You should settle the score with him, challenge him to a duel!" Yang said, laughing a bit. Weiss thought about it for a moment, then grinned.

"Yes, I think I'll do just that. Thank you for the idea, Yang." Yang raised her hands.

"Weiss, I wasn't serious, he'll kick your ass!" Weiss shook her head, then stood up and headed for the door.

"Like you said, Yang, I'm going to settle the score." Leaving the dormitory, Weiss headed for Ozpins' office, surely he would know where Glynda was. Knocking on Ozpins' office, then waiting for the go ahead to go in, she took a seat on the chair that had been placed in front of his desk. "Good afternoon, Professor Ozpin." She greeted him with a smile.

Ozpin spun around in his chair and faced Weiss. "Ms. Schnee. To what do I owe this honor?" He smiled back, then leaned forward. "Something to do with Vengarl, I presume? You've been at eachothers' throats for a while now." Weiss nodded.

"That's what I came to ask. Do you know where Professor Goodwitch is?" Ozpin shook his head.

"Most likely teaching, but other than that, I don't know." Weiss stood up, then shook his hand.

"Okay. Thank you for your time, Professor Ozpin." Ozpin smiled as Weiss left, then spun around and faced the window. Approaching the Auditorium, Weiss looked around, then spotted Professor Goodwitch. Walking over to her side, she spoke quietly. "Professor Goodwitch, do you have a moment?" Turning her head towards Weiss, Goodwitch nodded her head.

"Yes, what is it, Weiss?" Goodwitch asked. Weiss looked towards the Dueling Platform, then back to Goodwitch.

"I was hoping you would be able to set up a duel between me and Vengarl?" Goodwitch nodded.

"I'll have him here momentarily. Go get your weapon and come back, Vengarl will be waiting." Weiss did as she was instructed, taking mere moments to get her weapon, and get back. On the Dueling Platform, Vengarl sat in the middle of it. Stepping up to one end of the Platform, Glynda said the usual duel rules and procedure. "Ready? Begin." Weiss dashed towards him, with inhuman speed, Vengarl stood up and smacked her weapon and arm up into the air, then kicked her in the stomach, sending her back to her end and putting her on the floor. Looking up, Vengarl readied his weapon, which appeared to be a Katana with an extremely large blade.

As Weiss stood, she made a white glyph under her feet, then dashed towards him, slashing him several times. Vengarl recovered, then slammed his shoulder into her, slashed at her side, then poked her stomach with the tip of his blade. Both of their aura levels were low, so she had to end this, fast. Creating a clock glyph under her, then a dome of white glyphs around Vengarl, she dashed into the dome, then began bouncing off the white glyphs, juggling him in stabs and slashes before finishing him off with a final slash.

Goodwitch stopped the duel and called Weiss off as the winner, displaying her picture on the board as the victor. Everyone that was viewing the battle started clapping, then left to do their own business. Weiss left to the locker room, then put her gear in the locker and returned to her dormitory. Unfortunately, everyone was asleep so she couldn't gloat about her victory, but she figured she would do it tomorrow. Heading into the bathroom with a nightgown, she undressed and hopped into the shower, washing the stress and sweat from today off. After her shower, she dried herself off, put on her nightgown, and headed to bed. Overall, today was a good day, she beat Vengarl in both marks and a duel. She proved she was the better student, and she was happy.
