Jaune is suddenly walking in between the sisters and Habib while holding a map and looking lost.
Jaune: There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?
Jaune passes Weiss and Pyrrha as they ready themselves at their lockers.
Weiss: So, Pyrrha, have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone must be eager to unite with such a strong, well-known individual such as yourself!
Pyrrha: Hmm... I'm not quite sure. I was planning on letting the chips fall where they may.
Weiss: Well... I was thinking maybe we could be on a team together.
Pyrrha: Well, that sounds grand!
Weiss: Great!
Weiss: 'This will be perfect! The smartest girl in class combined with the strongest girl in class! Together we will be unstoppable! I can see it now! We'll be popular! We'll be celebrities! We'll get perfect grades! Nothing can come between us now!'
Jaune is coming between them and interrupting Weiss' evil train of thought.
Jaune: You know what else is great? Me. Jaune Arc. Nice to meet you.
Weiss: (irritated) You again?
Pyrrha: Nice to meet you, Jaune!
Jaune: Yeah, yeah.
Jaune pushes Pyrrha aside and talks to Weiss, posing slightly.
Jaune: So, Weiss, couldn't help but overhear your fondness of me the other day.
Weiss: Oh, you've got to be kidding me!
Jaune: Don't worry! No need to be embarrassed! So, been hearing rumors about teams! I was thinking you and me would make a good one! What do you say?
Pyrrha: Actually, I think the teams are comprised of four students each, so-
Jaune: You don't say.
Jaune advances on his new target.
Jaune: Well, hot stuff, play your cards right and maybe you could join up with the winning team.
Weiss separates Jaune from Pyrrha. Habib arrived at where the noise is coming from.
Habib: Hey Jaune, hello Weiss.
Jaune: Hello Habib.
Weiss and Pyrrha blushed when they saw Habib . Weiss looks at Jaune.
Weiss: Jaune, is it? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Jaune: Not in the slightest, snow angel.
Weiss: This is Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: Hello again!
Weiss: Pyrrha graduated top of her class at Sanctum!
Jaune: Never heard of it.
Weiss: (scoffs) She's won the Mistral Region Tournaments four years in a row! A new record!
Jaune: The what?
Weiss is waving her arms rapidly in anger.
Weiss: She's on the front of every Pumpkin Pete's Marshmallow Flakes box!
Jaune suddenly gasped.
Jaune: That's you?! But they only do that for star athletes and cartoon characters!
Pyrrha: Yeah, it was pretty cool. Sadly, the cereal isn't very good for you.
Habib: I still don't know who she is?
Weiss, Jaune, and Pyrrha looked at Habib with a shocked look on their faces.
Habib: What?
Weiss: Do you seriously don't know who Pyrrha is, Habib?
Habib: Yeah I don't know who Pyrrha is, I hardly leave my home.
Habib: 'Which is true I never leave Auradon before, the tv only shows things from the four kingdoms of Auradon.'
Weiss looks at Jaune.
Weiss: So, after hearing all of this, do you really think you're in a position to ask her to be on your team?
Jaune: I guess not... Sorry...
Jaune hangs his head down.
Pyrrha: Actually, Jaune, I think you'd make a great leader!
Habib: Pyrrha's right, Jaune I think you would make a great leader.
Jaune immediately brightening back up.
Jaune: D'oh, stop it!
Weiss: Seriously, please stop it. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged!
Jaune: Sounds like Pyrrha and Habib are on board for Team Jaune. Spots are filling up quick! Now, I'm not supposed to do this, but maybe I could pull some strings, find a place for you. What do you say?
Weiss: All right, that's a bit too close! Pyrrha, a little help, please?!
Jaune looks back just in time to see Pyrrha's weapon striking him.
Pyrrha: I'm sorry!
An announcement plays on the intercom system.
Glynda: Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately.
Weiss passes Jaune as he hangs from the wall of a locker on her way out. Pyrrha follows her, grabbing her spear and dropping Jaune to the ground.
Pyrrha: It was nice meeting you both!
Jaune fell against the locker.
Jaune: Likewise...
Yang and Ruby approached Jaune and Habib.
Yang: Having some trouble there, lady-killer?
Jaune: I don't understand. My dad said all women look for is confidence! Where did I go wrong?
Jaune accepts Habib and Ruby's offered hands and uses them to lift himself back up.
Yang: "Snow Angel" probably wasn't the best start.
Habib: Yang's right, Jaune that wasn't the best start.
Ruby: Come on, Jaune, let's go.
Ruby and Habib leads Jaune out of the locker room by supporting him and his damaged self-esteem. After a few minutes, all of the first years are standing on silver tiles in front of a mug-holding Ozpin and Glynda with her tablet.
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 the assignment of "teams." Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today.
Ruby: What? Ohhh...
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 groaned.
Ozpin: That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years.
Ruby: Whaaaat?!
Nora: (to Ren) 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. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die.
Jaune laughs nervously and then gulps loudly.
Ozpin: You will be monitored and graded through 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. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?
Jaune raised his hand.
Jaune: Yeah, um, sir?
Ozpin: Good! Now, take your positions.
Everyone strikes a pose on their tile. Nora crouches low, Ren wields his weapons, Yang raises her fists, Ruby readies her body, Habib grabs his weapon, and Jaune is still raising his hand.
Jaune: Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question. (he misses the tile under Weiss rising up into a springboard, rocketing into the air and over the forest, as the platforms activate down the line) So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?
Ozpin: No. You will be falling.
Jaune is not noticing that students being thrown.
Jaune: Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?
Ozpin: No. You will be using your own "landing strategy."
Jaune is still not noticing that students being thrown.
Jaune: Uh-huh... Yeah.
At her turn, Yang winks at her younger sister, puts on a pair of aviators, and flies off with a "Woo-hoooooooo!" a second before Ruby joins her then Habib was launched.
Jaune: So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!...
Jaune asks this part just when he finally has to get hurled with the cloud of students now making their way down into the forest below under the eyes of the teachers. Ozpin, for his part, simply takes a sip of his drink.
