Julio's sniper rifle guaranteed at least one shot would land and the grey haired student let out a yowl of pain as the fire hit them as the white and grey jacket they were wearing caught fire and for a few seconds, they spent time patting it out, leaving them wide open to an attack from a tall boy with the high hat. However, the choice of fire dust soon proved to be far more detrimental to the battle than helpful as the second shot had struck the tree beside the boy. The fire was quickly devouring it, licking up the trunk and using the branches to spread through the woods, leaping from one oak to the next like a blazing collection of serpents. It wouldn't be long before the entire forest went up in smoke, and the students with it. Many even began to realize this and returned to running, through there was still the occasional attack. 

At the encroaching crowd of Grimm, some of the students in the Savannah shot first. The fox faunus had a crossbow in hand and fired a number of bolts, felling a few Grimm, followed by several other shots. The first one to hit the crowd head on was a girl with rather beefy arms and copper hair done in a fishtail braid, wielding a huge flail that she'd been spinning up over her head. She waded into the crowd and with an initial swing, knocked a bunch of them over as the second wave prepared to crash into them and the others. The Death Stalkers were still stuck in the back, lurching after their fellow Grimm.
