Khalis wandered the school yard and halls once more, hopefully able to find the two Fauni he was talking with earlier, but then remembered his promise to Kuhaku. He better uphold it, he supposed. Then again, maybe he should wait for tomorrow for more shenanigans. Besides, that way his teammates will be forced to deal with him. Grinning at the idea, he spent the rest of his time aimlessly wandering and pondering what tomfoolery he could get away with for his new, permanent teammates.
The next morning, all the would be students were perched and waiting at the edge of a tall precipice overlooking a lush and lively forest. The echoes of roaring could be heard even from where they stood. Everyone was anxious to start, nervous about messing up, and excited, with various other mixed feelings. One poor blonde fellow seemed especially nervous and uncertain. Professor Ozpin and Glynda explained some things to them all, first. "Now." began Glynda. "I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about he assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today." There was some murmuring among the students about this new information. Ozpin continued, saying "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." More muttering. "That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."
Aaaand there drops the bomb. More grumbling than ever erupted from the students, disbelief and panic rising in them. Khalis honestly couldn't believe it. Happy go lucky like this? Is this really the best way to evaluate who works well with whom?? Ozpin explained further that they were to find relics deep within the forest, choose one and return to the top of the cliff. Despite the various dangers, such as the beowolves, the ursas, other grimm, other teammates, the faculty would not be intervening. Thiiis oughta be fun... Khalis already had a sinking feeling. Poor blondie was still confused, yet people were already being launched into the air.
Khalis got himself riled up, imagining how exciting it would be, and how random. He loved random. With a shout of joy, he was launched off, then decided to lay in the air temporarily. It was comfy, that much was certain. When he came close to landing, he pulled out his scythe, then activated his Semblance, channelling it through most of his weapon. Then, using the blade of the scythe as a sort of tether to the ground, he spun a few times, 360ing while the scythe remained lodged but circling through the dirt, before launching into the air again and landing gracefully with a grin. "Now to get started!" And, despite the future dangers, he walked merrily, practically skipping through the Grimm filled forest
