We were standing on square platforms at equal distances from each other, I noticed that the others began to assume quite unusual poses and were like a short circuit

" I'm sorry professor Ozpin, but what exactly do you mean by your own landing technique?" I asked with a slight tremble in my voice, I tried to keep the appearance of calmness. But I felt that my legs were made of cotton.They're about to collapse under my own weight

He turned his head towards me and said with virtually no emotion: "It means exactly what I said, Mr. Arc."

I could feel his gaze just crushing me, my mouth was incredibly dry but I somehow managed to choke it out" Oh yeah, sorry for the unnecessary question".

Professor Ozpin looked away from me, I wanted to ask a question about parachutes or something, but I didn't for two reasons.

Firstly, I was practically standing at the very end and didn't see anyone with a parachute, and secondly, I didn't want to attract the professor's attention again. There was something... disturbing about him.

I noticed that the first person was shooting out. I was drenched in cold sweat, but I decided to pull myself together, since others show peace and self-confidence, then I must too.

I bent my knees and bent a little, at least somehow going to prepare for the flight.

After the launch, I wanted to put myself in a controlled position, with my arms and legs spread out, I hoped that I would be able to correct the falling trajectories. I wanted to aim at the tree tops, they were really high so maybe if I hooked one in a relatively controlled way I would be able to slide down to the bottom of them.

The plan itself was good, but its execution did not go good. Well, it was tragic.the force with which I was fired was just too much, I started spinning in an uncontrolled manner and to tell the truth I had no idea what was going on. I was just too panicked.

Honestly, I thought it would be my end, that my hunting career would end before it really started. I blamed myself mentally, and when me  flew into the treetops, I felt the end was near. But suddenly I felt a jerk and flew hard aside towards the trunk of a nearby tree.

I noticed that I was nailed to the wood with a gold-red spear that seemed strangely familiar to me.
