''From this day henceforth, you, Cyzarine Bluthardt, FenHong Se Suzhen, and Raizel Heidrich will be known as Team PRFC. ''

Platinum Roads strode fiercely through the halls on the fifth floor of Beacon Academy's student halls, towards the dormitory which had been vacated for her arrival. Professor Ozpin's words echoed in her head, the ones he had uttered when he called her to his office just moments before.

"And you think I need a team why?" she recalled asking him once he had finished.

Ozpin had sighed deeply before responding.

"It's not just for your sake, Miss Roads. I am fully aware that you are not a Huntress and will be expected to perform alone while serving our law enforcement. However, Beacon Academy's rules state that all students must be placed into teams of four while they attend our classes. In fact, this team is less for you than it is for the two students who were involved in the deadly conflict just two weeks ago."

Platinum bit her lip as she recognized exactly what the headmaster was referring to. Her best friend had been kidnapped by a corrupt organization and subjected to isolation, then injured in the chaos as the recuing organizations converged. She still hated herself for not being able to do anything. It really would be best to stick together if such dangerous events were occurring around them.

"So my teammates will be Fen and who else?"

"Raizel Heidrich and Cyzarine Bluthardt," he replied as he read the names off his tablet in front of him. "I am instating you as leader of these girls following your admirable performance in our classes. Your skills are on par with that of other Huntresses your age; it's interesting that you've opted to go the enforcement route with your skills rather than that of the Grimm-slayer. Regardless, I believe that being team leader will help you grow immensely as not only an officer but also as a human being."

Platinum didn't recognize either names, which she hoped was a good thing.

"I see, Professor," she stated calmly. 'I'll do the best I can." She emphasized this by making a fist over her heart, which made the old man smile before dismissing her.

The silver-haired girl stepped into the dorm room. All of her belongings and supposedly that of her teammates had already been placed along one wall, and the dorm was empty save for a drawer along the window and four beds. She decided to wait until the others had arrived before commencing the unpacking. Team Leader would be a role that she would fulfill to the best of her ability, whatever that was. She sat down on the edge of the bed. The others had been notified through their professors; she'd been the only one to receive a meeting with the headmaster.

About 3 minutes later a familiar face came turning the corner and stepped through the open dorrway, which Platinum had propped open. It was FenHong Se Suzhen, the strangely unlucky heiress to a major entrepreneur corporation in Mistral, their home kingdom.

"Hey Fen," she called out, seriously. "We've been placed into on official team together."

"I know, P-Money. It's weird, isn't it? I didn't think we were eligible for that stuff." Fen stopped to check for new texts on her Scroll, but saw that it was just spam.

Platinum hesitated. It was strange - although her best friend seemed not to blame her for what had happened, an undeniable transformation in Fen's personality had blossomed since the attack. She'd become callously playful, dodging the simple answers and causing trouble in communication for no reason. Platinum knew her well enough to know that this was a shield. Fen was hiding behind a facade and trying to deal with her emotions privately rather than express it to the people around her. But seeing as the last time this had happened almost resulted in Fen committing suicide, Platinum was reasonably on edge. It was different now, though. Fen was still interacting with people, just not as innocently as she had before.

"So what do you think of our teammates?" she asked.

"I have literally no clue who this Raizel girl is, which must be a good thing."

Same here, Platinum thought.

"But Cyzarine Bluthardt is someone I need to be careful around."

That got Platinum's attention.

"And why is that?"

"She's the one who was kidnapped with me in BOB's base. We fought together, but she's connected to the people who instigated the faction's purge. I don't know the details, but she's not entirely stable, if you get my gist."

"Right..." Platinum hated how indirect Fen had become, with these insinuations and implications which were too much of a hassle for the blunt girl to handle.

"look, Fen, if something is bothering you, you should talk about with someone you trust, OK?" that was the best platinum could say with the limited information she had now.

Fen hesitated minutely as her choreographed grin wavered for a second. An outside observer would have seen nothing, but their shared past made Platinum very sensitive to these kinds of things. Her yellow gaze was sharp.

"...yeah, I'll keep that in mind, thanks."
