Well this wasn't exactly what Cyrul had expected for a first test. In the morning they'd been woken by Glynda, who he'd discovered was a lot more strict and stern in person, and he was pretty sure he'd heard her chastising Silus and Seilbar for their... intimate sleeping situation. After that they'd eaten a very quick breakfast, not really having enough time to catch up before being ushered off to a large cliff overlooking a vast forest, each of them being guided to stand on platforms which anyone who'd attended an academy like Signal would know where designed to catapult them flying into the forest. He looked around him, seeing quite a few unfamiliar faces and some familiar ones. He considered waving to Silus and Seilbar but decided he should probably pay attention instead. Meanwhile, Ozpin began his speech.

Ozpin was holding his usual cup, its contents unknown to the students but it seemed to be presumably coffee. His face was as unreadable as it always was, and when he spoke his words were barely tinted with any hint of emotion. "You have trained for years to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." At that moment Glynda spoke up, her voice stern and terse as usual. "I know some of you have been hearing rumors about the assignment of teams. Let me clear that up for you. Each of you will be assigned teammates. Today." Once again Ozpin spoke up. "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 said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years." He paused for a moment, letting that sink in for the students present. "After you have partnered up, make your way to the northern forest temple. You will meet opposition on the way. Do not hesitate to destroy anything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded based on the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. The temple contains several relics. Each pair is to collect one relic and return to the top of this cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Good luck."
