The two start knocking sparks off each other almost immediately but the come to a truce on the basis that they both want to pass the test and know perfectly well that, if they can't work together, they'll flunk it.

It will surprise and shock both of them how well they work together. By the end of Episode 5, a cautious truce will be in place, especially as Weiss will have lost her temper at one point and ended up shouting at Ruby about her inner demons. Ruby, oddly enough, thinks it's something they have in common. "We both don't know how to make friends; you because you've never had the opportunity and me because I've never seen the need! Maybe this is a chance for us both to learn something new!" I don't think Weiss would respond to that line too favorably, lol. TBH, I think Ruby and Weiss won't be able to work together very well for most of the initiation, since they are both super self-confident in their fighting styles. They'll end up doing poorly compared to some of the other teams, like Jaune & Pyrrha, and that'll be a pretty nasty reality kick for both of them. Sort of like how on the first day of Spartan training in Halo, John finished the obstacle course first, but not with the rest of his team, so his team ended up coming in last place.
