The first day of school was always a nerve wracking day, to those who weren't Weiss of course. After taking that rather pitiful excuse for an entrance exam, she felt rather disappointed in the so-called 'school with the lowest entrance rate'. Still, UA was this world's closest comparison to Beacon, being the premier hero high school in Japan, and often ranked one of the best in the world. Hopefully some of her classmates were competent, the teachers as well. There would be some rather eccentric instructors, of that Weiss was sure, but to the extent of Professor Port and Dr. Oobleck? Well, Weiss shall find out soon enough anyways. 
Brushing her white hair delicately, Weiss' eyes stared back at herself as she prepared herself for school. She would get a few questions about the noticeable scar over one of her eyes most likely, many of her interviewers always asked the question, which led to Weiss avoiding it or giving a vague answer. Classmates she saw everyday would probably be more annoying to deal with. Hopefully she had Mina and Kyouka in her class. After being accepted, the Trio barely had time to talk as they prepared themselves for the new school year. 
It was supposed to be an exciting time, yet Weiss felt rather empty inside. She had money now, a rather large amount of it that no one could scoff at, she had been accepted into the best hero high school in Japan, and she had a few good friends that she made here. She should be happy, or at the very least, she should be pleased with herself. But why couldn't she feel anything inside? It felt like she was eating a fine meal at the best restaurant in Japan, but the food tasted like ash despite the various ingredients. 
Weiss fixed her hair into her signature off-center ponytail, complete with the tiara that she had been wearing when she arrived in this world. The rest of her outfit consisted of the UA uniform, complete with grey blazer, red tie, white shirt and a dark skirt. She made sure to wear stockings in case the wind decided to start blowing. Plus she didn't need any perverts trying anything while in class. Gripping her hands along the edge or the sink, Weiss took a deep breath, and the soft expression on her face hardened. 
Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show-
"Damn you, Yu." Weiss mumbled under her breath. At least no one was around to hear her. taking one last look in the mirror, Weiss opened the door to the bathroom, when she was blinded by a bright flash of light. 
"Gah!" Weiss shielded her eyes with her hands, and was about to form a glyph when she heard tje sound of a very familiar blonde crying. 
"WEIIIIISSSS! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" Yu shouted while sobbing, causing Weiss to flinch softly. The blonde woman's normally beautiful face was distorted as she ugly cried, a small camera in her hands that kept flashing. 
"Thanks Yu." Weiss smiled, cracking the mask she had formed. Yu pulled the shorter girl into a tight embrace, which Weiss returned eagerly. 
"Are you sure you don't want me to pick you up after school? I can leave my patrol early-" 
"I'm sure. I already told my usual driver when to pick me up." As much as Weiss would love taking public transportation, she wasn't in the mood to get mobbed again by her most loyal fans. 
"If you say so." Yu wiped her snot on her costume's sleeve. 
"I do say so." 
She wished Ruby and the others could be here to join her.

UA looked the exact same as it did a few weeks ago, during the entrance exams. The only difference were the several large banners that said 'Welcome new students!' in multiple languages. She immediately recognized English and German, which was a nice gesture from the school. Unless they were trying to butter her up with the German sign. That would make them lose several points in her opinion, even Beacon didn't show her any favoritism. She slept in the auditorium that first day, the same as everyone else, and she was launched off of the cliff, just like everyone else. Whatever Professor Ozpin may have been, at least he was competent. 
Tightening her fingers around her backpacks straps and the case that held Myrtenaster, Weiss took her first steps to her new future.

It was a good thing that Weiss arrived earlier than early. Schools were always full on the first day of classes, and she didn't want to be late to class because she got mobbed by other students. After heading to the makeshift front desk where Weiss received her class number, and saying a thank you to Cementtoss who had been the one to examine Myrtenaster before the entrance exam, Weiss finally made her way to her classroom. A stragglers here and there stared at her in awe, but Weiss continued past them without another glance. She would have to be careful, leeches and parasites were everywhere. 
Class 1-A was around here somewhere according to the directions Weiss was given. Walking past several tall doors that reached the ceiling, she felt a smirk grow on her face once she saw her new classroom. The door was open, just like the others she had passed by. 
"Hello?" Weiss stuck her head inside the empty classroom. Yup, it seemed that she was the first one here. Closing the door behind her, she released a sigh of relief, Weiss chose one of the desks that sat near the front. It would give her a clear view of the board and whoever was speaking. Placing her backpack to the side of her new desk, Weiss took a moment to scan the room with her eyes. 
It was a decent size room she supposed, but definitely smaller than the auditoriums that Beacon called classrooms. She was about to take a seat, when she heard the door slide open. Hopefully it was Mina or Kyouka- 
Oh no. 
"Greetings!" A taller boy with glasses said, a serious look on his face. He marched over to Weiss' desk and extended his hand. "I was afraid I would be the first one here. A pleasure to meet you future hero!" 
"My name is Iida Tenya."

This was supposed to be done earlier and be much longer, but I got food poisoning and had to see the doctor the next day. It turned out that I still have covid in my body, but it's not contagious so that's fun.
