3-...I assume you're paraphrasing, but that paragraph gives me a different impression. That Jacques said "You wanna go to Beacon? Pass this test or shut up", and that it was Weiss herself who interpreted that as telling her she would definitely lose, not that the others said that or implied it (not deliberately, at least).

....Then again, she hated her dad by that point too, so Weiss thinking that makes some sense. 1. That is, indeed, something that happens in real life. And, in the US, there is quite an issue where many people of non-white races end up with a lower quality of education because many people of non-white races end up in a lower socioeconomic situation, due to variables such as discrimination and difficulty climbing out of that situation. This is especially since there are many workplaces in the US that will turn down an application if the applicant's name does not sound "white" enough, so when naming their children, they must weigh whether they should conform to "whiteness" with the name or stand firm on their race.

2. *Sigh* I dunno if it's wholly acceptable for me to do this, but...

Weiss finishes off robots (looks like with the use of ice Dust, since there are icicles and ice spikes on one of them)...

Secretary: *Clapping, blablablah, praise* "You possess much talent. From watching you since your first fight, your control of glyphs, your Semblance as it were, has become superb. The multi-action Dust rapier "Myrtenaster"... You have completely mastered such a complicated weapon extremely quickly."

(Not sure how Myrtenaster is complicated, but okay.)

Weiss: "You sure have a lot of flattery today. This isn't a piano lesson. Do not distract me during my training." (I just noticed there's a robot arm at her feet, lol)

Secretary: *Says her current training isn't enough, she'll need to continue at Atlas*

Weiss: "I have already said that I will be attending Beacon Academy." *Says she'll talk to her father about Secretary telling her to go to Atlas*

Secretary: "This matter has already been entrusted to me. We will not be needing to talk to your father." *Blablablablablah*

They discuss her wanting to go to Beacon and why, and then he has the doors open, and he says "If you had listened from the start, it would have been just fine. That is a possession type Grimm. [blablah what Grimm are, so evul] The company created this by capturing and accumilating multiple small specimens. Its strength is around a mecha-suit and the rest... well, I think it speaks for itself."

Then, he quotes Jacques: "If she's being insistent on her selfishness, then I expect her to win."

Weiss: "That's a familiar piece. It stands in the Schnee museum."

Sec: "No, they are not the same, if that's what you're saying. This one has about three times the strength of the original."

Weiss: "So basically, you're just saying I have no chance of winning."

And she attacks it anyway.
