Chapter 4: A Warning

The walk up to Beacon cliff was much further than what (y/n) had first thought it would take not really thinking about how it had cliff right in the name he thought it would just be a short walk. It took a while long but once he had got up to the cliff each student one by one were made to stand over on grey stone tile which was just big enough for one person. No one seem to know what was the reason for having to stand on them but they would likely to be told in a few minutes. Standing facing each of the students was the man who gave the speech and Gylnda watching the students before finally the man started to speak.

"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest," he stated them glanced at Gylnda who was holding a tablet in her hands. "Now, I'm sure many of you have heard the rumours about the assignment of teams," she explained causing (y/n) to feel his heart drop from his chest as the colour drained a bit from his face. He didn't even think that all the new students were being put into teams, he wasn't sure if he could deal with having that big of a risk getting close to people like that. "Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates," she continued before pausing for a moment then stated that they were getting teammates today. "what? Aw.." Ruby said as she stood a few feet away from (Y/n) who quickly shot a glance over towards her some what understanding how she was feeling about the whole getting teammates in such a short space of time. "These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years." the man explained after Gylnda had said her part. As soon as (Y/n) heard what he said his heart jumped back up from his stomach stopping in his throat as it was even worse than he first thought the getting teammates was going to be to start with. "What?!" Ruby yelled out in surprise clearly (y/n) wasn't the only one taken back by the news though everyone else didn't seem to find it as a big deal. Even with another girl saying to her friends, "See? I told you!" He couldn't get his head around with how only a couple of people were now nervous while most people just stayed quiet not giving much of a reaction to the news that for the next 4 years they would be stuck with people purely based on luck. What kind of school was this place really? "After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate destroy everything in your path, or you will die," The man went on to explain what for each of the students had to do once they had met the person they were partnered with. So far everything that they were told didn't sound much like a problem only one thing that (y/n) was having a problem with was the fact it was all luck who was going to be on the same team as he rather than who worked well together. Jaune's nervous laughter snapped (Y/n) out of his thoughts before taking a deep relax trying to relax himself. "You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene." (Y/n) could feel his hands slowly shaking a bit as he kept them in his pockets with the idea that he was going to be graded didn't help with any nerves that people were dealing with as being tested was something that could easily stress anyone out unless they were sure they knew that they were in the clear no matter what they came across. "You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately." the man said as the students remained quiet each one of them mentally making a check list of the things that they needed to go and what order they had to be done before returning back towards the cliff to end the whole initiation. "You can do that," (y/n) muttered quietly getting his nerves together. "Are there any questions?" The man finally asked as he finished explaining everything they had to do. Slowly rising his hand up a bit Jaune nervously started to speak as he had a question, "yeah um, sir-." But it was like the man just ignored the fact Juane had a question starting to speak again. "Good! Now, take your positions." he told the students each on of them getting themselves ready for what was going to be the next step in getting them down the side of the cliff they were currently standing on. That's when (y/n) worked out why they were standing of the grey tiles as they were going to be launched off the cliff. "Uh sir? I've got a question." Jaune said still trying to get the man's attention when suddenly the first person was sent off flying off the cliff edge down towards the forest which was on the other side. (Y/n) glanced down one side then the other mentally counting how many people were standing before he would be launched and by his count it seemed he was going to be one of the last ones to go as there was really only three people after him. "So, this landing strategy thing, uh w-what is it?" Jaune asked his voice starting to shake a good bit as a few more students were catapulted off. "You're like dropping us off or something?" he continued though (Y/n) now believed he was just ignoring the fact of what was going on with the other students. "No. You will be falling," the man said bluntly as he looked at Jaune. He didn't know why but he could nearly feel as if he could see the man smiling at the fact Jaune was on edge over landing strategy. "Oh, I see. So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune asked scathing the up of his head. AS soon as those words left his mouth a girl was launched saying WooHoo as she flew through the air seeming to be enjoying herself quite a bit. "No. You will be using your own landing strategy." The man stated again blankly answering his question. Shaking his head a bit (Y/n) took a deep breath then took out some earphones that were plugged into his phone and placed each one into his ears before taking out his phone selecting a playlist.  Glancing over towards Jaune just about hearing what he said as the first song started to play. "Uhhuh... yea," Jaune said not sounding anyway sure of himself with how this was going to go.
