My team is getting ready for the day, putting on their equipment and checking their weapons. Waking up before any of them and getting ready before they even get out of bed is routine for me. And true to their routine, the moment one of them wakes up, he wakes the others up, usually with amusing results.

Location: Team WLFR Dormotories

Time: 30 minutes earlier

Lioso is the first to wake up today. Great, the morning entertainment is starting. As Lioso heads towards the bathroom, his right knee slams into the side of Fireo's bed and knocks it askew. Fireo, asleep up until that point, is bumped onto the floor by the impact but not before he grabs a fistful of Rhet's blankets as he tries to break his fall. The result, Rhet was pulled out of bed and landed on him. Lioso, cursing under his breath and rubbing his knee looked down at both Rhet and Fireo, groaning at having been knocked off their beds. Using a matchstick, I lit a candle to let them see the result of this morning's wake up call. After repeating this sort of thing for four years, one might think that we've exhausted all possible outcomes yet every morning brings a new result. I'm not complaining, it just means it'll never get old. I finished the routine with one simple sentence, "Lioso started it."

Time: Present

Rhet is done getting ready, though that isn't saying much considering that all he has to do is get dressed. Unlike us, he never has to check whether or not his weapons are in perfect condition since his only weapon was the crystal quill, "Heart of Ice". I think he named it when he was feeling pretty depressed after his brother's death. The main reason for its name is an ice dust crysta shardl in the centre of it. His brother liked the colour of ice dust crystals and since you can't just go cutting crystals you need to form the dust crystal around a quill without having a giant chunk of ice crystal in your hands, Rhet slowly used his semblance of ice control and grew a special ice crystal around the shard, giving the Heart of Ice its colour. At least, that was the reason Rhet gave us, he never did answer my question of how he got a shard of an ice dust crystal without the crystal exploding, or in this case freezing, in front of him.

Lioso gets ready next, wearing his helmet and holding his Large, 10 barrelled, 50 caliber machine gun (hint,hint), "The storm". Rhet and I were pretty confused by the name when we first heard it, later on in battle we realise that the name is a reference to the fact that the muzzle flash and sound of gunshots from the gun is pretty similar to lighting and thunder. Lioso's semblance is the ability to cast lighting probably contributed to The Storm's name.

And the last one to get ready is Fireo. Wielding his two flamethrowers, the Twin Dragons, Solaris and Flareo. They each contain a Burn dust crystal that allow him to channel his aura through them and with help his semblance, fire creation and control. They can create flames of extreme heat, he and whoever is partnered with him when we're fighting actually have to activate their aura to protect them from the heat that the flames emit. The first time he used them in duelling training the guy he fought lost an eyebrow.

Picking up my main weapon, "Silent Death", which is quite an ironic name considering one of its forms is a stereo. Its name comes from the fact that when I kill something with it, the Grimm doesn't produce any sound except for the sound of its body hitting the ground or the snapping of bones. Now that everyone is ready, I begin speaking to them.

"Okay, today is going to be long day so make sure you have a good breakfast and bring along some rations and water with you. I've looked through the reports and looks like the forest is going to be pretty quiet this time. The Nevermore managed to catch something to eat yesterday and is resting in one of its usual spots, so it might not be making an appearance today. The deathstalker has also gotten some food recently so I doubt that it'll leave its cave unless it's aggravated. Remember, we can't interfere, no matter what." With that, we started heading to the canteen to get some breakfast.

The canteen is still pretty empty as the sun is still rising, the only other people in the canteen are Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. I read their reports last night and they seem to be pretty decent fighters. Getting ourselves some pancakes and cups of coffee we reviewed the day's schedule. The first year's initiation is probably going to take up most of the morning, then we have to do the paperwork for the students we are assessing which will probably take up the afternoon and during the evening there will be the ceremony where the first years find out which team their in. Halfway through discussing this year's batch of first year's, Lioso noticed that his coffee was cold and chose to make a small joke out of it.

"Hey Fireo, my coffee is cold, mind lending a hand?" Smiling at Lioso's joke , Fireo used his semblance to create a flame, then made the flame wrap around Lioso's coffee mug, heating it up. Fireo stopped laughing when he saw what happened behind Lioso's back.

"What the, Rhet, did that girl just inhale a pancake?" Turning around to get a look of what he is talking about, remembering that Nora's report included something about a voracious appetite, I saw Nora Valkyrie holding a pancake between her teeth and then sucking it up, seemingly without the need to chew. By that time, there were other students in the canteen and practically everyone was staring at Nora, who just gulped down entire pancakes.

Our question of how it's possible to simply swallow a pancake got interrupted by the sound of my scroll beeping, alerting us that we need to be in the forest in half an hour. We quickly wolf down our pancakes and leave the canteen, grabbing some food bars along the way. We are the first team of invigilators in the forest and we found good positions to station ourselves. One by one the other graduate year teams joined us in the emerald forest. Checking that the ear pieces we had been handed are working, we started reporting in and waiting for someone to reply, confirming that our earpieces work. A while after Lioso finished checking his earpiece, I became aware of a crunching sound coming from my earpiece.

"Lioso, your mike is still on." The crunching sound stops immediately and snickering could be heard from those checking that the earpieces were working. Lioso must have decided to eat one of his food bars without realising that his microphone was on. The initiation is going to start soon and deciding that we better hurry up with the testing, I deliberately coughed into the microphone, getting them to stop laughing and hurry up.

While the last few teams were rushing to tests their earpieces, Glynda began talking to us through her scroll.

"Get ready, Professor Ozpin just finished his briefing, the students are going to be launched any second." On cue, the sound of a launch pad activating played across the network. Looking up, I see the student who just got launched, the sound of the other launch pads continued playing from Glynda's scroll and more students got launched. Then, screaming came out of my earpiece, turning back to Beacon Cliffs, Jaune Arc could be seen soaring through the air, without any landing technique that would prevent him from snapping his neck.

Ah well, that's one less fool to take care of. Tragic, paperwork for death is annoying.
