โI didnโt.โ Weiss replied. She would, however, keep her answer that short for now. Time is of the essence right now, after all.ย โAnd of course. Weโre going to lay low after doing what we have to do here, make things die down first.โ That, and its not just the Rose that fought half of Ironwoodโs best, after all. She was with her, too, and both of them had to deal with one half, each, so she, too, would need some rest.
Getting stronger is not equal to getting refreshed, to begin with.
โIn Atlasโ defense, its floating, so its a bit trickier to get than on Vale or Mistral. At least by ordinary means.โ Well, the other ones who are after it aside from them are far from ordinary, anyway.
โTch. These stairs will take forever.โ She thought to herself as she and Ruby descended down. That is, until Ruby started speaking.
And before she can even properly process what Ruby had said, the Rose had already went ahead with her idea. Not much to the Schneeโs surprise, considering sheโs pretty much used to it at this point. So now, she only let out a sigh, before jumping down, following Rubyโs descent.
All that for just twenty seconds.
Having been caught by Ruby, Weiss would then get on her feet, a small smile on her face while sayingย โSee, if its stupid, but it works, then it ainโt stupid.โ Yeah, something she had seen from Ruby, time and time again. Unexpected ideas that actually work a whole lot better. Again, Weiss is already used to it.
โIโd even choose this than enduring those flights of stairs, any day.โ
โSeriously, itโs like those Atlas guys never heard of elevators.โ Ruby grumbled, letting Weiss down, Ruby decided to look around the room. It was huge, easily being able to fit the Dragon Grimm in here several times, that was the best way she had to describe it.
โOh hey, that must be the place.โ Ruby had spotted it rather quickly, having searched for the place where the staff of creation could be. โOf course, obviously itโs a vault, still, letโs get going, shall we?โ Walking up to it, Ruby decided to be the bait, to see whether or not there was an alarm in place.
Luckily enough, there wasnโt.
Instead there was a huge steel door, or atโleast Ruby assumed it was steel. It looked rather ancient, with her even giving it a punch packed with her full power. A barrier of magic shimmered in place, preventing her from busting it down liek she had with many others.
In turn it also hurt her hand a bit, with Ruby yelping in surprise and shaking her hand to soften the pain somewhat. โSheesh, Ozzy really didnโt hold back when he locked this stuff up, did he?โ Regardless, Ruby stepped back, now instructing Weiss.
โWell, looks like itโs your turn now, Winter Maiden.โ It did feel a bit more official using the title like that, even if Ruby still preferred saying partner or Weiss more. โYa think that after this is done, we should go ahead and meet up with Blake โn Yang again? I know they might be pissed, but honestly, the relic we procured should make up for it.โ
In other words, Ruby had gotten immensely more confident, far more so than she was before, about facing them once more. Her suffering brain damage was one thing, but a lot of time had passed, and she was better now. โAlright Weiss, open the door so we can snatch the Staff of Creation and flee.โ
