Winter implied that the entire reason Jacques was calling was to try to convince Weiss to attend Atlas instead of Beacon and that this wasn't the first time Weiss would have to explain to him why she would rather study at Beacon. Now, on the surface, Jacques' insistence on her studying at the academy that's right next door to their home (maybe not literally next door, but you get what I mean) seems reasonable, until you consider that Jacques could be trying to control Weiss and simply doesn't like that he can't control her if she's in another kingdom.

The official manga tells us what was happening in the White Trailer (according to Kerry, this is canon). The reason Weiss had to fight the Giant Armor is because it was a test/bet from Jacques: If Weiss could defeat it, he would give her permission to attend Beacon. She already proved to him that she has what it takes, and he lost the bet, so why was he still trying to convince her to attend Atlas? They had an agreememt Yeah, his main reason to have her attend Atlas would probably be to control her. But r emember, Weiss had already been involved in not one, but two events that can only be called terrorist attacks by the White Fang. Now, Jacques probably didn't know that she was personally involved in any of these events, but answer me this: Would you like your daughter, who also happens to be the heiress to your company, to go to college in a foreign country that is been attacked by the terrorist group that wants your family dead?
