Hirsch's deer ears flicked as he heard the howls of Beowolves not far from them. The boy instinctively reached for his pistols and drew them out. The pistol in his right hand turned into it's tanto form, and he reversed his grip.
The Faunus boy stared at the Grimm coldly. "Well, looks like the party's getting started!" he exclaimed. He fires two ice dust shots at the paws of one of the Beowolves, aiming to immobilize it.
He turns to the others. "Unless you wanna be Grimm chow, we better get cracking!" He races ahead, keeping his head low.
Eva glanced at Lance as he pulled her closer, reading his expression and nodding slightly. Evidently he thought the other two were a bit strange as well. Still, they couldn't actually prove anything and asking would be pointless. They would be wary of Yoru and Chrissy and that's all they could do until the other two had shown their hand.
As the Grim charged through the trees she shot up, standing quickly and tugging Lance up as well. She hoped he'd recovered enough to help since she'd need time to get into a good position to shoot from. Yoru and Chrissy seemed content to wait, either for the Beowolves to attack or for them to do something she couldn't say. Hirsch on the other hand jumped straight into the fray without any real plan.
"If you can keep them occupied I can get set up," she said, settling Fulmine into her grip, "Though I don't know if I'll be needed what with four close range fighters." She glanced at Lance, tilting her head slightly to consider him before giving him a thoughtful nod. "Better safe than sorry. It'll take me a minute but I'll be ready to shoot once I've reached a good distance."
Turning to Hirsch, she shouted, "Aim for their weak spots if you can! You should be quick enough to get inside their guard and hit their chest, but be wary of their paws or you'll got tossed by a swipe!" She hesitated before giving Yoru and Chrissy directions. "See if you can't keep them preoccupied while Hirsch attacks. You just have to keep them off him while he does the hard hits unless you can get inside their guard better than he can." Looking back to Lance she shrugged, offering him a slight smile. "Stay strong and stay safe," she said before dashing the opposite way the Grimm had come.

Lance Squinted his eyes, and furrowed his brow as if hearing something completely incomprehensible. "What does that have to do with anything I just said?" He scoffed with a small smirk and looked away from Yoru. "Are you trying to sound like a 5 year old?" He teased. What caught his attention was the fact that right after Yoru mentioned about the Grim, howling was heard from the distance, and shortly after, the creatures appeared. Lance didn't bother to move, and only watched at how casually Yoru, and Chrissy, the supposed students, just stood back, and watched.
Of course, this only confirmed his suspicion of them. Caught off guard, Lance was pulled up to his feet by Eva, and he quickly shot a glance down upon her form as he towered over her. He felt a bit dumb founded as he witnessed her already jumping to the action, and giving out orders. Looking back up to the beasts, Lance relaxed his face, and continued to listen to his companions. "As you wish." He responded to Eva. He decided to go after one of the Grim that had been staring him down, while walking to the creature, he slowly pulled out his sword, and soon after, began to make his charge.
The Grim stood it's ground for only a moment to give out its howl before making the same charge at Lance. But, just as the Beast was about to swipe him, Lance transformed his Sword into a whip, had it wrap around the grims neck, and slid on his knees just in the nick of time. The Grim roared once more as Lance swung himself onto the creatures back, and directed it towards Yoru. Before they got any closer, Lance, rejoined his whip back into a Sword, and pierced the creature once in it's spine, through its chest, then again in the center of its head.
As the creature died, the Grim clumsily collapsed right in front of Chrissy, and Yoru. Meanwhile, Lance jumped off, and continued to stare at Yoru with a cold gaze. "Fun? A convenient Grim attack on your part maybe, but in general, no....Grim attacks are never fun......People like you who think this is all just a game, that it would be fun to take part in fighting one.....People like you make me sick." He gave a quick glance to Chrissy, dismissing his cold stare, and hurried back to his companions. Lance was now focused on making sure that the other two would come out of this alive, he hated the idea that he was putting on a show for Yoru or Chrissy. It was obvious they were students at this point, and decided to not act out on it, but rather aid his comrades in the fight.

"On it!!" Hirsch slipped under the belly of one of the Beowolves, aiming his pistols at it's stomach. He fired twice, and the Beowolf was half-frozen in place. It wriggled in the icy trap, growling hungrily.
Hirsch smirked up at the beast. Then, in a small blur of movement, his pistols form tanto blades again, and he sliced the beast's throat with both blades. Hirsch stood up as the beast withered away. "One down!" he reported.
The Deer Faunus looked over at Chrissy and Yoru. Why were they holding back? That made no sense at all. Hirsch decided to not pay this any mind and ran towards the last Beowolf, only acting as a distraction for Eva. She should get a shot in, too, after all.
Chrissy was pleased as Eva took charge though she knew it would be difficult for the girl to stay in the fight and command at the same time, making her a rather inefficient team leader unless her team had some form of long distance communication.
She frowned as Lance snapped at Yoru and herself, understanding the boy's point but finding his timing in discussing his frustrations rather poor. Giving Lance a somewhat disappointed look she turned to the last of the Grimm as Hirsch took down the second, catching an attack on her dagger and allowing her momentum to carry her through to attack with her second blade. Spinning with her momentum she switched her daggers to their pistol form before catching the Beowolf in the stomach with two normal shots, ducking under a swing as the monster advanced. She whirled away from its reach, unloading another two shots into the face and switching back to blades as the creature was blinded before closing in to slice it's throat.
"This is hardly the time for such petty words," she said as she rounded on Lance, absently switching back to her pistols to reload. "Particularly when you hardly know us. Yoru hardly meant that he enjoyed having people hurt. You really should learn to watch your temper." Chrissy huffed and shook her head, turning away from the students as she loaded a new cartage into her guns. "Or if not, direct it into concern for your partner who is now on her own or any other Grimm who may have heard the commotion and are on their way here."
╔══════════☣═══════════╗ Yoru Burakkudaria Headmaster of Beacon ╚══════════☣═══════════╝
════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ As Yoru listened to Lance his face remained calm, but inside he was pissed, and he had the best stress release right here. He would run at the farthest Beowolf and punch it dead in the face. It would fly back but Yoru was hot on its tail. Punch after punch landed on the Beowolf until it was unrecognizable than he turned his gaze to another. A smile came on Yoru's face as he began to laugh, this one had seen what had happened and heard the laugh and tried to run away, but Yoru got ahold of its tail and dragged it closer to him. He punched straight down as a loud crack was heard from the Grimm's back, but he punched again into its head burying it into the ground and killing the Beowolf. Smiling again he turned towards the group and said. "That was fun what's next?" ════════════════════════════════════xx━╃☪╄━xx════════════════════════════════════ ⊰ Semblance: Active/ Not Active ⊱ OOC: thanks y'all for the idea. was originally going to just have y'all fight Grimm lol

Before he could catch up to his teammates, Lance was cut off by Chrissy's intervention, and he was taken aback a little. "Again, you mistake my tone of voice, for ignorance of petty squabbling. By no means am I hot headed or tempered, nor did I mention anything about Yoru enjoying watching people getting hurt." He stood there with a blank expression. Honestly, he felt like the only one who ever listened was Eva. "I only stated how Grim attacks, in any form, is not considered fun. I was merely stating my disapproval of the outlook." Lance placed his weapon to his side in order to fold his arms in front of his chest.
"I also stated my disdain for people who find any form of Grim attacks as entertaining as Yoru had. Grim attacks, no matter the scenario, is never entertaining, nor fighting one is. It is a life or death situation, and should always be taken seriously. Now, if you don't mind, you are keeping me from aiding my companions." He hinted that he put two-and-two together, and knew they were not students. But, he figured it was only common courtesy not to say anything to his teammates, and would let them figure it out themselves, as he was sure this was part of their test. Seeing as how his Faunus friend took care of one, he himself took care of the other, and Yoru as well as Chrissy, took care of the others, all that was left was Eva. Lance quickened his charge in her direction, and came to her aid. He re-drew his sword, and turned it into a whip. "This IS the last one. Do you require more time?" He thought it was best to see if she could handle this one by herself as he, and the others have. However, offering help never hurt anyone either.

Following the instructions that were given to him at the academy's offices, Leo would find himself at the clearing overlooking the forest. Moving silently, he would walk up to the note and give it a quick glance. "Insignia huh..." He would mutter to himself as he turned to look at the metal plate in the ground. "Hm... seems familiar..." He would say as he dug through his pack for his father's sketch book, accidentally slipping his foot forward onto the launcher. With a yelp, he would be violently flipped over as his leg was launched upward, landing hard on his face, his pack falling on top of his head to boot, its contents scattered. Groaning in pain, he would collect his things and pack it all away efficiently, leaving the sketch book out to quickly go through it. "Thought so... Dad had ideas for these launchers..." He would say softly as he jotted down his own notes alongside his father's.
"Well then, no more time to waste..." He would say as he put the sketch book away, pulling out his trench coat, gauntlets, and armored gloves. After gearing up and doing an equipment check, he would nod in silent approval as he loosened Deus from his rig slightly, allowing for an easier draw if needed. With a deep breath, he would step onto the launcher and fly out into the forest. Remaining quiet, he would glide over the trees for a few moments before drawing Deus, connecting the cable from his gauntlet to its hilt, and throwing the heavy blade forward and downward at a safe angle. Hearing and feeling the blade make impact, he would reel himself towards the blade with decent speed, just as fast as the initial launch speed he had. With the ground approaching quickly, he would roll and absorb the impact with his shoulders, getting to his feet and slowing the last of the momentum with a few jogging steps. Before he had a chance to look around, he heard the voice of a woman directly above him calling for help. Looking up and blinking in confusion, he would see a Faunus woman with bunny ears in a compromising position within the trees. "Err... Would you like me to loan you a blade, or would you rather have me come up there...?" He would call to her, not sure to be more worried about her, or embarrassed for her.

┌
Eva paused to take in the situation as Lance caught up with her, shaking her head slightly as he asked if she needed further time. She lifted her gun and took a deep breath before firing a quick shot, the bullet ripping through the Grimm's mask. "I hate that I'm useless in close combat," she said softly, looking to Lance and settling her gun across her back. "Is everything alright?" she asked, frowning slightly and tilting her head as she lifted a hand to rest it against his shoulder. "The others did well then. She looked back toward the others before asking softly, "Teachers?"
Hirsch retracted his blades into pistol form as the last of the Grimm evaporated. He holstered both of his pistols and walked over to Eva and Lance. He put his hands behind his head. "Hey, nice shooting. You must have pretty sharp eyes. Long-range is tough. Although, if we are all going to be on the same team, we may need a communication system of sorts to talk with you, or at least signals."
He dropped his arms. "But we'll save that for a later time." The Deer Faunus boy held out his hand to them. "I'm Hirsch Lightfoot, by the way. Nice to meet ya." he said. He still felt mighty short in comparison. He sighed. "I guess we'll be finding my 'partner' later on in this mission, huh?"
The Faunus looked over at Chrissy and Yoru. Something felt weird about them. They couldn't be first year students. They reacted way too slowly for students under evaluation. Maybe they were moderators or something? Was that a thing here?

Lilian had been swaying ever so lightly left, to right. Her arms were getting tired of trying to have a decent composure in her position by holding her skirt upright. Looking back now, she could have used her weapon to help with the landing, or kept her going in the air, at least until she could land in the clearing. But no, as always, is easily frightened, and ended up in the one tree that just so happened to have vines. The poor Faunus bit her bottom lip as if to hold back the tears. "This would happen if he was here...." She muttered to herself. This was in reference to her twin brother Umbra, who probably is already at the academy by now with a fancy team.....without her. Lilian couldn't hold back the tears any more, and placed her hands over her saddened eyes, and allowed the tears to fall. She wanted to cry again for help, but she already felt pathetic, and already at her lowest. If she got herself in this mess, then she needed to get out of it herself.
Her ears flickered to the sound of rustling in the leaves. Lilian slowly removed her hands, and rested them on her chest, as she saw a young man standing there. Her tears instantly stopped, and she felt her face reddening to his offer of helping her, a Faunus. The poor girls face softened as she smiled with delight. "Thank you so much! I thought I would be stuck her forever!" Lilian rejoiced. If she had any form of tail, it would be wagging vigorously with joy. "Um, I suppose what ever is easier for you....." She felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time a human treated her kindly, so you can only imagine how new this is all for her. Remembering about her skirt, Lilian quickly held it back upright, and quickly removed her gaze away from his. Her face red with embarrassment, her heart beating so fast, she thought anyone could hear it. "J-Just be gentle with letting me down......." She ended a bit hesitant.

Disengaging himself from the fight, Lance watched as Eva took out the last one. Exhaling out of his nose, he could feel himself loose to the crisp air. But, as soon as Eva had placed her hand to his shoulder, he could only give her a small smile. "But, you're not useless....Everyone did their best just now, and we all lived to see another day." He tried to reassure her. When Eva asked if he was alright, Lance looked over his right shoulder slightly back at Yoru, and Chrissy. He then heard her question if they were teachers. "Yeah.....Something like that...." He was being honest in a rather vague way, unsure of himself now, with all that has transpired. His attention was then refocused back to the little Faunus, and he gave him an acknowledged nod. "He's right. We didn't have much time nor the preparations to come up with some form of communication. Then again, this is a test to see how we would do regardless of that. Should we become a team, I'm sure we can all come up with something." He agreed with Lightfoot. "For now, in short terms, since myself and Hirsch are relatively close range, we can give you a moderately enough time for you to keep yourself at a distance, even place yourself at an advantage to your skill in terms of hiding in high places, and out of sight. Meanwhile, He and I would stay on the battle field, you, Eva, can provide cover fire." He thought it best to have a lax form of strategy for now until things are further decided at the Academy. He remembered how the Faunus boy introduced himself, and completely disregarded it without even thinking. "I'm Lance by the way." He thought to make a quick save in terms of greeting someone new.

Upon hearing the woman's response and mannerisms, a small warm smile would show on his lips despite himself. She acted similarly to some of the girls he knew back in the foster home. Recognizing the train of thought he was about to go down, he quickly suppressed his thoughts and emotions, taking a deep breath to clear his head before making his next move. Sliding his pack off his back, he would jam Deus into the ground to allow it to remain upright while he started to climb the tree. Slowly and steadily, he would make his way up to the woman, stopping right in front of her so that he could see her face to face.
"Bit of a mishap with the launcher, huh...?" He would ask sympathetically, remembering how sore his nose still was from his own mishap. Reaching back to his rig, he would draw one of his two daggers, sliding the hilt into place with a flick of his wrist before leaving it on a branch next to her hand. "I'll be right here to catch you once you cut that vine around your leg." He would point to the biggest vine that held her captive. "Once that one is out of the way, you should be able to get free with little effort, but the only way is down..." He would trail off, figuring that she would catch his drift.
Kicking off from his foot hold, he would fall a few feet before landing on two larger, sturdier branches, reading himself to catch the woman once she cut herself loose. "Whenever you're ready." He would say to her calmly, as he bent his knees slightly out of habit from his training.

Watching the other climb the tree as easily as he did, Lilian couldn't help herself, but feel amazed at his skill. However, as her body slowly twist her form to meet him face to face, Lilian felt her face remaining as flushed as it was before, and her hear skipping a beat. His face is so close! She thought to herself. His scent tickled her nose, but it wasn't so intoxicating, as she imagined human's to be, but rather....Pleasant. When he offered his knife, and told her the situation, she caught on to his gestures, and nodded her head with a stern expression. Watching him prepare himself for her fall, Lilian grabbed the hilt to the offered blade with her right hand, and with the other she pulled the vine away from her sensitive flesh, just enough to start cutting away. Little by little, she felt the vine loosen its hold on her. "Almost......there!" The vine snapped in two, and in that moment, it felt as if time itself had stopped. The vine rapidly untangled itself from her form, and her body began to dive. Lilian, yelped, and hugged the knife close to her chest, eyes closed tightly, as she held her last breath, waiting for that catch.
After a moment of waiting, Leo would hear the snap of the vine and the woman's yelp. Without a moment's hesitation, he would leap up with a much strength as he could muster to meet her halfway, catching her princess style with relative ease. Still moving upward from his jump, he would wait a few moments until he reached the apex of the momentum before kicking off the trunk of the tree hard, launching the two well out of the tree's canopy and into the air above the clearing next to it.
Glancing down at the woman, he would blink in surprise, taken aback by how cute she looked when she was worried... or was it scared? With a shrug, he would look to the ground and grin as he saw his target. After a few more moments of free falling, he would land carefully upon the hilt of Deus, steadying himself for a second before casually hopping down to the ground. Gently, he would let the woman go so that her feet touched the ground, still keeping a steady arm behind her back to allow her to regain balance. "That went better than planned." He would comment before picking up his pack and slipping it back onto his back.
Pulling Deus from the ground, he would swing the great sword once in a relaxed overhand swing, flinging the dirt and clay off the blade with ease before slipping it back into its place on his rig, keeping it loose just in case he needed to draw it again in the near future. Glancing at the woman from the corner of his eye, he would pull out an old piece of leather twine and pull his hair back into his usual combat ponytail. "I'm Leo by the way... Nice to meet you miss...?"
