First day... And Exu becomes a Liar.

Exu in her disguise with the help of nanotechnology wakes up only having 4 hours of sleep she made it seem that she wasn't actually Snow Phantom or Punisher... She gave the excuse that her mother was sick and she went to help her.

"I know! We will have a secret signal like a distress signal! A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?" Nora already hyperactive in the morning gets on Exu's nerves.

"Nora?" Ren asks.

"Yes, Ren?" Nora says.

"I don't think sloths make a lot of noise," Ren says.

"That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!" Nora smiles.

"C'mon Nora let's go," Ren walks away.

"But not together together" Nora giggles.

"Wonder what those two are so worked up about?" Ruby says.

"I don't know but they got on my nerves... I'm not too fond of annoyances..." Exu sheathes her sword reminding Yang of her mother since Exu's sword is just too similar to her mom's.

"You won't make friends with that attitude ya know?" Yang says.

"Friendship is for the weak... They are liabilities that your enemies can use against you" Exu closes her locker and walks away.

"Well, she is just a ray of sunshine... So besides that, you seem quite chipper this morning."

"Yang is it just me or did that girl seem a lot like Exusiai... But she couldn't be our cousin... Her story checked out we found her with her mom... I guess I'm just overthinking it..." Ruby is no longer chipper and looks down.

"... You got her name right this time! But yeah I can see how you made the connection... They are so similar and yet at the same time not at all... That girl with the sword can't be Exusiai though... She is way too good with a sword. Exusiai Is a master Marksman and Martial Artist, not a swordsman... It's impossible to be a master in three things at our age even the best geniuses focus on 2 forms of combat at most... So she isn't our cousin... I don't know how I will ever make it up to Exusiai... I'm a terrible cousin... She was so close but now she is so far away... I pushed her away from us and that's on me! I will be the one that brings her home!" Yang no longer in the mood walks away to take the test.

The two sisters arrive at the cliff in a depressed mood.

"For years you have trained to become warriors and today your abilities will be evaluated in the emerald forest." Ozpin and the one-armed Glynda talk about teammates.

"I should have just blown your head off... Losing an arm hasn't phased you..." Exu sends a lifeless gaze at Glynda and Glynda grits her teeth in barely restrained rage.

"So you're here... I will be keeping an eye on you Snow Phantom..." Glynda continues glaring at Exu.

"Enough Glynda... She isn't our enemy anymore... And Exusiai remember the deal we made! After 'her' plans for Vale, you will stop working for her!" Ozpin sends a fierce glare filled with bloodlust at Exu making her flinch.

"Yeah stop worrying you old relic... I honor my deals... However, I will have to continue pretending to be your enemy until then... That monster doesn't trust anyone... I will have to continue acting out my part so she is none the wiser..." Exu is launched and now needs to perform her own landing strategy.

Exu starts cutting down each tree in her way, helping her slow down and lands next to Yang.

"Nailed it" x2 They look at each other and Exu walks away.

"Hey, we're supposed to be a team!" Yang runs after Exu.

"Why would I want to be a team with someone like you? I know Exu personally and you broke her... She was already broken but now she is just a shattered mess..." Exu continues walking away while telling a lie.

"You don't know anything!" Yang punches Exu making her fly and slam against a tree.

"What that you are a terrible cousin?" Exu who is in her disguise sends a lifeless look at Yang.

"I told you! You. Don't. Know. Anything. About. What... HAPPENED!" Yang shoots at Exu and she dodges.

"Whatever..." Exu dodged and then walked away.

Yang reluctantly follows Exu and they find Blake fighting two Ursa... Blake looks at Exu with shining eyes. Exu ignores her and continues reading Kunoichi Lovers and causally swings her sword killing both Ursa.

The three girls walk in the direction of the Temple... And find Cardin and his team who took their own chess pieces. Cardin sends a lustful gaze at Exu and Yang and then smirks while walking away.

"I wonder if it's okay to kill him during this test..." Exu takes the Knight Piece and lies on the ground reading her book.

"I like that book too... Wanna read it together sometime?" Blake presses her fingers together shyly.

Exu looks up and inspects Blake's body making Blake even shyer.

"yeah sure..." Exu goes back to reading her book and then looks up with wide eyes.

"Headsssss Up!" Ruby falling from the sky yells. Jaune slams into her.

"Did your sister just fall from the sky?" Blake's attention is again brought over by Ursa.

"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" Blake is internally freaking out.

Moments later Pyra slams into the dirt. "Great the gang's all here now we can die together!" Yang's sarcasm makes Exu chuckle a little.

"Not if I can help it!"

"Ruby wait!"

"Don't... Don't worry totally fine!" Moments later Ruby is about to be impaled by the Deathstalker.

~Splash~ Blood splashes across Ruby's face and Ruby looks up to see Exu impaled through the chest.

"Ugh... Don't worry... My semblance is Ultra-Speed regeneration!" Exu steps back and then cuts on the stinger of the Deathstalker and sends a slash of light at the deathstalker cutting the Grimm in two. Exu makes another lie... The regen comes from the pools of eternal life but she can use this regen and say it's her semblance.

All of them see how Exu's chest has a big hole that can allow people to see through the other side they see how her body creates new organs and then seals up leaving a terrible scar.

'Why did I save her? I felt a sense of crisis and thoughtlessly put my life on the line for this stupid girl...' Exu turns around and takes off her ruined jacket and shirt and puts new ones on. The only thing any of them see is her back which has many scars.

'What did she go through... So many scars... What kind of life has she lived to have so many scars like that... Those scars aren't from Grimm... Grimm's scars are much bigger but she looks like she was abused as a child like she was whipped and cut all over...' Blake touches her face and sees tears and wipes them away.
