Andr tucked her self in her jacket as she covers her bruise and cuts that were patched with white bandage wrap, she walked around the locker halls with the curious and shocked eyes of different people, Andr tries her best to restrain herself from potentially lashing out because of it.
The event that happened before was an accident she can't help but dwell on whether staying here was a good idea or not.
Andr arrived at her designated locker given to her by Glynda, she merely presses the numbers that were said to be her password, opens it and closes it after as she has no need to put her weapon in the lockers since she has her own storage for it.
She also sees people doing much of the same thing, she then hears Glynda's voice emanating from a white rectangle with a black box inside of it, they call it a speaker.
Glynda: Would all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff for Initiation.
Andr noticed a familiar yellow-haired boy, Jaune in the distance, being pinned with a long orange spear unto a white square pillar with two female figures with him.
Glynda: Again, would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff immediately.
Andr blinked a few meters away from Jaune, just behind the rude white-haired girl and a red-haired girl who is strikingly looking like a warrior as both went past Jaune, the red-haired girl pulled the spear that kept Jaune in his place and waving goodbye after.
Out of nowhere Ruby and Yang casually walked up to Jaune and behind them, unknowingly, Andr joined them blinking a few steps behind them.
Yang: Havin' some trouble there, ladykiller?
Jaune sighed his shoulders dropped as he sat at the bottom of the white square pillar, he looked up to see all 3 ladies who have no doubt seen his failed attempt to swoon Weiss.
Jaune: I don't understand... my dad said all women look for is confidence.
He looked down again, Ruby offered her hand to Jaune who was hesitant to accept it but nonetheless grabbed it.
Jaune: Where did I go wrong?
Yang: "Snow-Angel" probably wasn't the best start.
Yang then noticed the tall figure behind her and widen an eye at Andr's state, who looked like she just survived a car crash.
Yang: Woah..! What happened to you?
When Ruby grabbed Jaune and help him stand she also widen an eye at Andr with concern, Jaune also noticed but was less inclined to ask.
Ruby: OMG! Andr what happened!?
Andr nervously laughs as she grabs a note and begins writing her response.
"Nothing. Is practicing."
Andr, with comic sweat drops, nervously looked away as she shows them her note, Yang raising a brow and both Ruby and Jaune tilted their heads at her rather vague answer.
Yang: What did you practice exactly?
Yang placed her hands on her hips tilting slightly, peaking up to Andr's face who was trying not to make eye contact.
Jaune: Yeah, why so many bandages...?
Andr opens her mouth slightly in the thought of a reason, she hesitantly wrote.
"Grimms?"
Even though Andr ate said Grimms a few had resisted which earned her the bruises and cuts littered all over her body, the thought of Andr wielding a majestic glowing sword gave Ruby a fantasy making her jump in excitement and Jaune wincing for doing so.
Ruby: oohh~! Wait... where did you find Grimms in the middle of Beacon Academy?
Andr looked at stared at their figures as she just thought about it, she couldn't tell them that she raided a Grimm Holding Facility for her breakfast, she stares outside the windows to spot trees and remember her encounter on the forest.
She hastily wrote
"Forest."
She showed them her notes, all three characters looked outside the window before back at her notes then at her, they were surprised to hear that there were Grimms outside the campus and the fact that no one knew about it was even more suspicious.
Andr seeing the doubtful looks given to her begin writing more on her notes.
"Ozpin, explain later."
The Yang cast a hesitant nod while both Jaune and Ruby nodded in acknowledgment, for someone to use Professor Ozpin's name both casually and non-formal manner, they begin thinking that Andr had some kind of close relationship with the Headmaster.
Ruby: I see, come on Jaune, let's go.
Ruby waved her goodbye to both her sister and Andr as she drags Jaune away, leaving both tall girls alone, Andr was about to blink away but when she remembered that she didn't know where to go.
She tapped Yang's shoulder making her look back up at her and hum in question.
Yang: Yeah? What's up?
Andr retract her hand and her eyes narrow at what Yang said, she looks up to see a polished marbled ceiling, she writes.
"Ceiling?"
Yang widens her eye before snickering at Andr's response, she didn't even try in making a joke but Andr was dull-witted enough to create one, she finally burst a few laughs waving her hands at Andr who tilted her head questioningly.
Yang: hahaha! Priceless, starting to like ya already!
Andr pouted and shyly begins writing as Yang laughing at her made her conscious of her short-ended vocabulary with the language of Remnant.
"Where is cliff?"
Yang reads the note quite up close and looks around her to see on what direction she know about the location of the cliff, she then points a hand towards a specific direction and looks at Andr.
Yang: It's just that way straight, once your outside, it's pretty much saying 'the cliff is this way' or something.
Andr smile widely bobbing her head up and down, energetically writing.
"Thank you!"
Yang finds Andr's personality adorable, she couldn't help but gave a sly smile, scratching the back of her neck she couldn't help but chuckle at her own thoughts for thinking so.
Yang: Don't mention it, just helping out a friend.
Andr widens her eyes at the mention of the word " friend", she felt her cheeks heat up as a pinkish shade tint it, she twiddles her finger as she attempts to hide her embarrassment from Yang.
Before Yang could notice Andr's flushed state Yang went on to walk away and towards her long-time friends who were beckoning her to come with them, she waves Andr goodbye before leaving Andr to her own devices.
Andr let out a breath of relief she begins to blink her way to the direction where Yang told her where to find the Cliff.
(Timeskip) -Beacon Cliff-
Andr surveyed all characters present in line on top of square stone slabs, there were familiar figures like Ruby, Yang, and Jaune, who stands beside her, the rest like the white-haired girl, red-haired, and the girl who sang a morning tone.
Ozpin stood at the edge of the cliff doing much of the same, peaking a few times at Andr with a concerned gaze, he sighs and begins the initiation.
Ozpin: For years you have trained to become warriors. And today, your ability will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest.
Everyone was present with some few characters twisting their heads towards the tall girl, Andr, seeing that parts of her body that were expose was covered in bandage and light bruise, Andr begins theorizing her body's regeneration that it might be slowing down from changing bodies.
The gaze seemed to have made Andr nervous which made her tuck her head inside her jacket's long neck fabric her square hat sliding down slightly.
Glynda: Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion.
Andr looked around ignoring the gaze from the other and looked at the figures of people she knew, Yang was ecstatic, Ruby was nervous, and Jaune looked like he was going to quit, the only uncertain people that were present were Andr, Jaune, and Ruby.
Glynda: You all will be given teammates... Today.
Ruby: what, aw...
Ozpin: 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.
Ruby: aww...
Ruby was giving Andr a slight concern because of her short and quiet distress.
Ozpin: That being said, the first person you make with eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years.
Ruby: What!?!
???: See I told you!
Ozpin: After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way.
Andr looked at the reaction of each individual characters only for them to have an excited and confident body language, she could feel their ecstatic aura flaring up in anticipation.
Ozpin: Do not hesitate to destroy anything in your path, or you will die.
Andr heard Jaune nervously laugh beside her, he looks at Andr, who was giving him a reassuring smile and a thumbs up, a positive gesture she learned from Yang.
Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation. But our instructors will not intervene.
Ozpin looked at some students, specific some of the students.
Ozpin: 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.
Andr opened her pocket void reaching out a sword which surprised a lot of students even Glynda for a tiny bit, Ozpin refocused their attention by continuing.
Ozpin: We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately.
He then looked at Andr and sipped his never-ending mug, he was concerned at her current state that being she was evidently injured made obvious by her bandage wraps and bruises.
Ozpin: And there is someone with you today, injured by a well amount of grim, but let's say she insisted.
It was indeed true, Ozpin wanted to keep Andr from further harm, fully intent on giving her a chance at the initiation at a later date, but Andr didn't want to be left out and insisted profusely.
Everyone's gaze once again laid on Andr's tall figure, Andr, however, understood what Ozpin meant and smiled innocently at his dismay, she planted her sword in front of her and flexed both her arms with an adorable attempt at an intimidating face.
Some of the male figures let out sounds of amusement while a few of them showed a hint of respect, Ozpin sighing inwardly decided to leave it at that, after all, he's curious about her skill in fighting.
Ozpin: Are there any questions?
The line of students remained quiet and steady with their resolve including Ruby and Andr but Jaune remains uncertain about something, who raised his hands in question.
Jaune: Yeah, umm... sir?
Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.
Everyone, except Jaune, readies themselves a battle stance, Andr copied the one beside her as she raised her sword in front of her, Jaune pursued further in an attempt to clarify his uncertainty
Jaune: uh sir? I've got, um, a question.
Ozpin finally turned his head to his direction and raised a brow while shaking his mug.
Jaune: So, this landing strategy thing, uh, what is it?
The white-haired girl went flying from a distance, Andr saw what propelled by the slab we're standing.
Ozpin: No, you will be falling.
Jaune: Oh, I see...
Slowly more students got propelled, Andr was somewhat distracted by Jaune's jumpy and uneased condition to realize the launchpad ready to propel her.
Click! Poov!
In Andr's eyes, the scene went from Jaune's face to the clear blue skies, when she realized she was flying in the air her trajectory is starting to descend into the large and vast forest.
