You have recently arrived at Beacon Academy in the Kingdom of Vale, after having taken an airship all the way from your hometown across the ocean — Argus, Mistral. And frankly, you're quite excited to start your first year at the huntsman academy.

You've also been walking from the landing docks and heading down the pathways to enter the main building, but a group of people had somehow surged past you in a blur, causing you to trip and stumble into something... which was very rare and improper, especially for you!

Trying to regain yourself as you sit up, you hear a voice while rubbing at your head...

???: "Hey, watch it! What are you doing!?"

You look up, now embarrassed that someone has seen you fall. You glance around and realize that not only did you trip on someone's luggage that was definitely filled with Dust vials, but this person was Weiss Schnee, an Atlesian who is the heiress of the SDC... and she looks very indignant, her mouth opened as if she was about to complain about the possible dangers of dealing with Dust...

But, before you can speak, and more importantly, apologize—

A gasp rings out from her, and she immediately kneels down to help you up while speaking once more.

Weiss: "Wait... Pyrrha Nikos?! My apologies, I didn't mean to! Are you alright?"

This sudden change in attitude was a bit surprising to you... and you definitely felt a bit of whiplash... but you still had to respond...
