A flash of lightning was the only signal of Nevin's movement, shooting from the ground to the branches above. He let out a small breath of air, relieved at finding an escape for the moment. The three initial Beowolves had proven little trouble, his skills being more than enough to handle them. However, more had continued to come after him. He had eventually been faced with eight with an alpha leading the pack.
He could take them out, but he had no idea what else was lying in wait throughout the forest. He didn't want to overexert himself on the small fry, just to be spent against something bigger. With a quick movement, his right fist lighting up with sparks before he shot off again, shooting into the air and landing down on another branch. He paused here, glancing back in the direction he had come. He probably made enough distance to be safe for the moment at least. He had to say, though, it did seem like there were a lot in this forest. Even for Grim, this seemed very populous. It was unusual for him...but he supposed Ozpin might have stockpiled them just for these sorts of tests.
Shaking his head, Nevin looked down, readying himself to jump. However, a growl stopped him, causing him to turn his head. A beast lunged at him, another Beowolf reaching out at him with its claws, mouth agape to latch on to him. The boy bent back quickly, the seal on his right glove lighting up brilliant once more before he vanished in a burst of sparks, hitting the ground hard.
Unfortunately, he couldn't right himself up in time and took the fall to his back, rolling away from the landing before coming up into a crouch. Dazed for a moment, Nevin shook his head, looking up. The first thing he noticed was the Beowolf launching down to land in front of him, growling viciously before standing up on two legs once more. The second thing was the young blond girl he had met at the academy. Aurelia, he thought her name was.
“Shit,” he muttered out without thinking before using his power once more. He shot at the Beowolf, his right fist jamming into its stomach before it could react. His left fist slammed into its face, a jet of flame exploding out and tearing its head clear off the body. The headless corpse collapsed back to the ground with the exchange over with.
A small sigh escaped him once more before he turned to face the girl, eyes meeting before he thought better of it. Would she even want to be his teammate? She wasn't too social and, really, they were strangers. She would have probably been more comfortable with that Maggie girl finding her. “Sorry about that,” he offered sheepishly. “Seems to be a lot of these things in the forest...”
