Initiation

The next part is heard and a lot more is on the way and sorry for any spelling mistakes. \_(ツ)_/¯
But now let me tell you a story.
===========================

"It's morning its morning, it's morning, it's, MORNING" is what I get to wake up to as I sit up in my "bed."
I look over to see the redhead back at the guy with the guy with the pink strip in his hair, poor guy.
As we all put our "beds" back into a role hoping never to see them again I spot Jeaun, surprisingly he is ready and waiting, he probably did this kind of stuff a lot. I guess I should talk to him he was nice and he did tell me all about what he knew, so I greet him "Morning Jeaun"
"Oh, morning (Y/N) have a good night sleep?" Now that he mentions it not really, "yeah and you?" "I had a great night sleep but uhh... what do we do now?" Huh, I didn't think of that "breakfast?" It makes sense and as soon as I finish, I turn around to see the familiar face of Glynda say to everyone "will all students please follow me to the dining hall. you will be eating before everybody else goes in so we suggest you eat quickly, just be sure to change first" and with that, she turned and walked out the door "can you tell the future?" Jeaun says as he starts to follow.
Strange how much my life has changed from practice in the woods to being told you have an aura that's "unstable" and everything you know is gone and then go to school. I guess the next thing to do is to get breakfast, uhh I hope it's pancakes.

"PANCAKES!" there goes the redhead again I should really stop calling here that, it's probably really offensive but it's not like I can just walk up and go hi I what's your name now can I "HI What's your name!" As I jump in surprise to see the redhead is talking to me. Maybe I really can predict the future "did you know they served PANCAKES! OH REN over HERE!" She said as she ran off to, Ren I think she said "Nora please, just eat" man it's like she drained the life out of him and uses it herself, at least I got something else to call those two Ren and Nora huh... hold on a sec did she just ask my name and then just run off before I could answer? huh weird.
The next cupel of minutes was quiet enough the only thing of note is the Ruby walking in with her sister. What did she say last night was it good or bad do they know something about me that I don't, like Oz or were they just pointing out how I had looked over at them? paranoia sucks.
Eventually Glynda came back and ordered us to get ready for first exam (just grate) while in the locker room I did find out two more names Pyrrha and Wiess the girl with the red hair is Pyrrha she sounds like an extraordinary fighter and Wiess is the girl that shouted at Ruby but that name rings a bell. I guess I have Jeaun to thank again for finding out names even it did mean he got flung across a room by Pyrrha.
By the time I had made it to the exam area located at the side of a cliff I was starting to get really tiered the pain in my legs had gotten to a point were walking was tuff enough and now an out door exam, just my luck either way I had to stand right on the end of this line of people on what I thought was just a stone carving of the school crest and listen to Ozpins speech, simply put your here to get a relic, if see a person you are their partner, you mess up you die and have a landing strategy, easy if I wasn't so tired to late now, as Ozpins finished I got to have a look at everyone going off one by one being lanched into the ait by the catapulet bords I guess, ending with Jeaun still talking to Ozipn about landing strategys then it was my tern. I looked out at everyone flying through the sky as I got ready to join them, but nothing happened.
As I turned my attention back to Ozpin he looked back, mug in hand, scroll in the other looking like he was just waiting for me to ask the question "is this a test or has this broken?" "No I can a sure you the machine is not broken we just need to top you up a little" before he even finished talking Glynda had already begun as I felt all my mussels tense up in pain as I fell to my knees hoping it would stop, it felt like forever but the pain eventually subsided "Sorry about that (Y/N), but it is necessary... hopefully not for long" Glynda says as I get up "Indeed, especially when we plain on having you fight your way through a wood of deadly grim" as he stops to have a sip from his mug ( I swear to God that's hot chocolate I smell) before continuing to say "let me ask you something (Y/N), did you happen to notice how many people were doing the initiation today?" Well, I didn't think to check "no why?" I say wondering where this leads "when we called you all out here we took you in groups making sure each group had even numbers." okay? "But what does this have to do with, with anything?" "Well (Y/N) this group is uneven, because of you" he had to make me feel more out of place "you see teams are made up of four people, two groups of two but in your case, you will be a fifth member of a team" as he stops to take yet another sip "emm?" "Just know that you can not enter the Vital festaval with them and considering you missed a cupple of years you will need some extra help, just think of today as a way to test your strength and knowledge in battle" "we bleave" Glynda started "that this is the most suitable way to treat your condition and it also helps you, by spreading the aura across four people rather than three" sorry can you- "Thank you Glynda but before we send you off I must warn if you push yourself too hard you will feel the effects of your aura."
Professor Ozipn went quiet after that for while "we will send you in when all the pairs have been made for now just ready yourself" Glynda added to lessen the silence and the occasional gunshot.
Eventualy Glynda said "the last two teams have been formed sir Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, poor boy I can't possibly imagine those two getting along, he's probably better off than miss Nikos" "hmm, anyway I think we should let (Y/N) begin don't you" Ozpin said looking over at me "of course sir" as Glynda then turned to face me as well "now (Y/N) you do not have to retrieve a relic, all we ask you to do is to find a group and assist them in retrieving theres" and before I could even say okay I was lanched off into the sky.

Well now that I'm up here may as well take a look around, the entire area is just woodland, no visible structures but there is part of the forest on fire I should see if anyone there needs help, I could probably make it there if I use some dust to gain some distance, as I check my pouches I realise I don't have any, Goddam Ozpin I knew he was holding out on me. No time to worry about it now, I do have to land first and in a wood of all places, just don't mind the lone ursa be low you... wait do mind it, I can land on it letting it take the impact of the fall! so I drew both blades and hoped my trajectory was close enough to land on him but I seem a little off I have to kick off a tree or something to realign myself.
As the ground grows closer I ready myself there's a tree at a bit of an awkward angle but it will have to do, the tree is coming up on my right I just manage to get my foot to it to push off so that I'm now heading straight for the ursa, I bring up bot blades an drive them into the unsuspecting ursa, as I slow to a stop I hear the beast cry out in pain as it falls lifeless to the ground.
As I get my bearing once again I see the plume of smoke rising up over the trees I should really head in that direction. Leaving the dead ursa behind me I jogged towards the smoke, it wasn't long before I came across the ashes of the once green forest, it's a good thing it didn't spread or the entire place would be an inferno.
I wonder who started the fire and why? maybe it was a plain of escape or they just didn't want to waste time-fighting, when all they have to do is get the relic and head back anyway you put it this person was very skilled... or a novice but I doubt it.
Well now I have nowhere to go I guess I just head past this place and try to find another team and if I'm lucky I won't run into any grim, just one problem where do I go from here.
After a few minutes walking through the forest I still haven't found a single person but I did find a ginormous feather from a nevermore so I better be on the lookout for that and a dead half dissolved king taljtu or basilisk no need to worry about that, and now I think I'm on the trail someone left behind if I'm quick I might just catch up to them
*rustle of bushes*
Hey that might be them, I think to my self as two red eyes look back at me, okay that's not them, I draw both blades locking them together an to form my bow as a few beowulfs emerge from the undergrowth.
"Five in total no big deal, just some arrows a couple of slices, a stab or to and I can move on," I say just to feel that bit cooler than I really am. but one of the beowulfs charges at me which I quickly respond with an arrow plunging straight into the left side of his head causing his body to collapse and skid to a stop at my feet "dam I was aiming straight between the eyes well no catchy one-liners for me" I had so many ready but another Beowulf charges at me. This time I unlock my bow in favour of my twin swords and deliver a deep slice to its neck before finishing side stepping and it off with a stab to the head "you know I think lots of people go for the decapitation but I'm just not feeling it" I say, again in an effort to sound cool (I hope none listening) "so who's next" apparently this was an open invitation for all three to them to charge at once and so I locked my swords together strung the bow got three arrows out and lined up the shot as the three of them grew closer.
I remember practising this shot for days, it's all you can really do when your home alone for weeks at a time. "I'll teach you what I know, you do the rest" she always used to say when I talked about archery I can't dwell on it now as the three beowulfs came into position this was it, I slowed my breathing checked my aim and when they were in just the right spot I let loose the three arrows.
*creak* *thong* *squelch*
I hear as a beowulf pins me to the ground "I must have missed!" I think as the beowulf claws dig into my shoulder before he can strike I drive my bow through his jaw and push him off me getting up and ready for the next two, only to realise there all dead "must have only missed one, good thing too or I'd be a goner" as I look around at the grim laying dead at my feet "I should continue on" I think before pushing forth
into the unknown.
