(Alexander's Forge - Simulation Room, (Y/N) POV)

Qrow, Winter and I look at the Simulation that Alexander had selected for us and I notice that it's an arena by the entrance of a castle made of ice, feeling the chilly atmosphere of the room we're in, but Qrow and Winter seem unbothered by it.  I shiver slightly and look around the area, trying to notice anything particular I can use to my advantage during this sparring match.

I take mental notes of the vantage points and the crystals surrounding the area and nod my head as I see Qrow and Winter standing in front of me with their weapons drawn, their backs towards the frozen castle and their eyes set on winning against me.  I take a deep breath and draw the "Subuta Blade Mk. II" from its sheathe and look back at them, my eyes gleaming with determination.

Alexander: "Whenever you three are ready..." Alex says before pausing and looking at all three of us from a side area of the Simulation Room for every spectator to watch.

Alexander: "...BEGIN!" he shouts as I rush at Qrow at a high speed, catching him off guard.

(Qrow POV)

My eyes widen slightly as (Y/N) slashes at me, forcing me to block as a loud clanging noise is heard from the impact.  The kid and I exchange slashes as I notice Winter use her Glyphs to reach to one of the higher points of the arena behind (Y/N), preparing to attack from above.  I kick (Y/N) away and shift "Harbinger" into its scythe mode as I give a nod to Winter and she jumps off of her vantage point and slashes at him.

((Y/N) POV)

I noticed Qrow nodding at something and look behind me, only to see Winter diving at me with her sword prepared to attack and I roll out of the way and exhale nervously.  I then look at the ground below me and an idea clicks as I change the Dust setting to my weapon to "Fire" and rush at Winter.  She goes to stab at me but I jump over her and fire at shot at the ground from high up and hit the icy floor, causing a huge mist to form as the fire starts to evaporate the area beneath their feet.  I land back on the ground and switch the Dust setting to "Ice".
