As morning came, the four, awakens.

Daemon: rises from bed* Mmmm. *yawns.

Kyrenia: opens eyes* ......... Mmm uh Good morning.

Daemon nods with droopy eyes and a tilting head.

Agate and Reina both woke up at the same time and attempts to rise

Daemon: looks at Agate* pfft heheheheh

Kyrenia: looks at Reina and giggles* heheh

Agate and Reina: What?

Kyrenia hands each of them a mirror.

Agate: !!!
Reina: !!!

Daemon: chuckles uncontrollably* That's one hell pff heheheh of a bedhair. You look like you got wasted by a gorrila with a comb, hahahaha.

Agate: tries to fix his hair* Eh eh eh eh.

Kyrenia: Heheh you as well, Rei. You look like a porcupine.

Reina: Ugh! It's a mess.

Kyrenia: I'll groom it for you, dear. *excited* What shall it be? Braid? Wavey? Pigtails?

Reina: Just comb my hair and pony it, would you?

Kyrenia: Alright then.

A redhead approaches Kyrenia and Reina

???: Hello!

Kyrenia: grooming Reina's hair* Ah! Phyrra! Hello!

Reina: Who's this?

Kyrenia: Phyrra Nikos. She and I used to attend Sanctum together, right?.

Phyrra: We did, Kyrenia. But, what made you choose Beacon academy?.

Kyrenia: sneaks a peek at Reina* A friend helped me *smiles*.

Agate: notices Phyrra* Hey there hot shot.

Phyrra: Uh Hello?

Daemon: Knock it off, Agate.

Agate: ignores Daemon* What's your name?

Phyrra: Phyrra..... Phyrra Nikos.

Agate: !!! Uh eh uh ok nice to meet you *nervous chuckle*.

Phyrra frowns a little.

Kyrenia: Uh so what is for breakfast?

Daemon: Pancakes, I think. I'll get for you guys. *dashes and returns after 20 minutes* Here you go.

Kyrenia: Yay! Pancakes! Join us Phyrra.

Phyrra: Ok, sure.

The five quickly finish and heads to the lockers

Kyrenia holds up her trident with confidence

Daemon: Neat weapon.

Kyrenia: Thank you.

Daemon: Is it a gun too?

Kyrenia: Hmmm. Nope, Pacifica is just what she is.

Daemon: I see, very classical. *holds up his two naginatas*

Kyrenia: notices Daemon's weapons* My gosh! You can weild two large spears at the same time!?

Daemon: They're naginatas and yes, it just takes practice. *readies his weapons then sheaths them*.
Shouldn't you be with your friend, Phyrra?

Kyrenia: Maybe after the test.

Daemon: I see.

Glynda: Would all first year students please report to Beacon cliff for initiation. Again, all first year students report to Beacon cliff immediately.

Agate: Let's go

All first years have gathered to the cliff and instructions are being given.

Ozpin: For years, you have trained to become warriors and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.

Glynda: Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates....... today.

Daemon and Agate looked at each other after they heard Glynda's words. Kyrenia and Reina did the same as well.

Ozpin: These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here in Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you made eye contact with, after landing, will be your partner for the next four years.

Daemon: raises eyebrows* Hmmm.

Kyrenia: Oh dear!

Ozpin: After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition on the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die.

Agate lets out a deep breath*

Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. You will guard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?

???: Yeah um sir-

Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.

All students readies their weapons and themselves to begin the test.

The first to be catapulted was a pretty brown-haired, pink-eyed girl.

Agate: Hmm? Hey D, wasn't that Sapp- WOOOAAAHHH! HAHAHAHA!

Daemon smirks and shooks his head. Afterwards, he was catapulted out.

Reina: Hopefully I'll see you later, Ky. *launched out*

Kyrenia readies and follows suit.
