The staff instructed each student to stand upon a small grey square with the Beacon Academy logo carved into it. Lark, Celeste, Strype, and Nacht were the furthest to the left. Olive, Jacqueline, Shinju, and Suleta were after them. Next came Manju, Aurelie, Gorudo, and Alexander. After that, all the way to the right, Fenrir, Temujin, Nara, and Dai Yu. It was a rather large group of first year students this year. After a few minutes, both Ozpin and Glynda came to the cliff. Ozpin let the blonde take over for this portion.<br/><br/><em>"Now, I know we just went over this, but allow me to explain once more so everyone understands,"</em>she said, lightly slapping her riding crop against the palm of her hand. She then used it to motion to the massive Emerald Forest sprawling out below them.<em>"You will be launched into the Emerald Forest, a place teeming with Creatures of Grimm. Your safety is not a guarantee. You will proceed to the end of the forest, gather a relic in the runs you find there, and return here. Along the way, you are to partner with a fellow student. The first student you make eye contact with. All the while, you will be graded by Beacon staff."</em>She paused a moment.<em>"Questions? No? Good. Let's begin."</em><br/><br/>With that, she waved her riding crop and Lark's platform launched forward, sending her soaring into the air. She was, of course, yelling excitedly the entire time. Something about this being the greatest moment of her entire life. The platforms, one by one, slowly started following suit, a brief pause between launches. Gradually, every student would have their turn being thrown through the air. It was up to them to figure out how to land.
