Chapter 6: The Red Forest

A few days later after the incident with Cardin and meeting Yakumo, the mysterious boy who could control Grimm, the students were now out with Glynda Goodwitch, on a journey through the Forever Fall Forest, the same forest Blake, Akito and Setsuna were in when they were partnered with Adam. Just being in the forest again brought memories to the black-haired wolf Faunus as he looked around before leaning towards Blake.

Akito: "Brings back memories, don't it?" He whispered to her to which she whispered back,

Blake: "Yeah, it does.. Though not all of those memories were.. good to say the least."

Akito: "I hear ya."

However when the two glanced at Setsuna, she seemed extremely happy as her wolf tail was wagging and she had a happy open-mouthed grin on her face. The two raven-haired Faunus looked at each other before letting out a small laugh at the Arctic Wolf's display.

Glynda: "Yes students, the Forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sightsee, Professor Peaches asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest. And I'm here to make sure that none of you die while doing so."

Autumn: "Wait... Children have died during this class before???"

Glynda: "Each of you is to gather one jar's worth of red sap. However, this forest is full of creatures of Grimm, so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rendezvous back here at 4:00. Have Fun!"

Summer: "You just told them that the place is filled with Grimm and that they could die and you then say, 'Have Fun'??"

Spring: *innocently "Sounds super fun to me!"

Winter: "...You poor thing, Spring..."

>Chapter 6: The Red Forest<

Now with the students splitting up with their teams, they all went off in different directions into the density of the forest. Teams RWBY, WOLF and JNPR all went together; well JNPR was without their leader, Jaune and Pyrrha seemed to have definitely taken note of that as her smile wasn't present. With Nora eating out the sap of every Jar that Ren gave her before returning the empty one to him, without him knowing for the longest time, they weren't making any progress on the task. Team RWBY seemed to have been moving pretty smoothly with Blake already being finished as she began reading her book while sitting on the ground and against a tree.

As for Team WOLF, Akito watched helplessly as Setsuna struggled to get sap out of the tree. At one point, she began to punch it out of frustration.

Akito: "Setsu... You just need to put a small puncture in the tree... not punch it."

The white wolf glanced back at him, her ears twitching before she suddenly bit the bark of the tree. Upon moving her fangs from it, sap began leaking out into the jars. She looked back at him, smiling with her tail wagging.

Setsuna: "Like this?"

Akito: *deadpans* "Yeah..." He shook his head and sighed before he took a glance at Pyrrha, who stood by herself just filling her jar up. Deciding to see what was wrong with her, he approached her. "Everything alright over here, Cherry-Pop?" Hearing his voice, caused the red head to turn around and look at him.

Pyrrha: "O-Oh.. Hello, Akito."

Akito: "Seeing you frown like that is scary. Everything alright?" He asked, placing his hand around her shoulder. She just sighed and looked down before slowly shaking her head. "Is it Jaune?"

Pyrrha: *nods* "Mhm..."

Akito: "Huh... Makes sense... He isn't here either.. You wanna talk about it?"
