The Beacon Arena.

Though there were many different areas, including an indoor and outdoor arena, it was nonetheless a massive building. It was in the outdoor Arena that Oberon found himself spending his morning as he waited for his class to start. Normally he would be in his own classroom teaching a large class of students, but twice a week he would pick a team and have them undergo rigorous training to sharpen their teamwork and strategy building abilities. Looking down at his scroll, he took note that it was Team ASPN that he would be training today. Reviewing their overall grades in his class as well as how they did in their initiation, Oberon smiled as he saw their grades. A well rounded team with decent fighting abilities. This team will go far he thought to himself as he took a puff from his cigar.

Letting out a cloud of smoke into the air, Oberon looked over the Arena as well as the "items" he would be using in today's class. Overall, the Arena was roughly three hundred feet in diameter with rows upon rows and seats surrounding it.Within the fighting grounds stood four large pillars that stood roughly twenty feet high, each one spaced fifty feet from the center. Besides that, there were two extremely large cargo crates that sat parallel to each other, one on the east side and the other on the west side as well as a few mid-sized boulders and tree trunks dispersed throughout the entire arena.

Finishing up his review of the items in the Arena as well as his assessment of the team that was to show up, Oberon reviewed the curriculum of today's class. With there being two main parts of the drill, Oberon was sure that the chances of the team succeeding both parts was extremely slim. However, today wasn't about succeeding or failing; today was all about working together to accomplish the mission. Even if the mission was not accomplished, their grade would be determined on how well they worked together. Taking another puff from his cigar, Oberon walked over to one of the crates and placed a hand on it. Time to see how strong and sturdy this tree is he thought with a smile before turning to lean against the crate as he waited for the others to show up.

"Should be in here guys..." Sherwood says walking through the tunnel into the arena popular. While everyone does one on one lecture with professors eventually, he wasn't sure if it was lucky or not ASPN would be the first team to do so. Hopefully it's not something remedial. That would be embarrassing.

Apprehensive as he may be, Sherwood knew he was excited beneath it all. The leadership thing definitely had blind sided him. Sherwood had worked alone all his life, as game hunters are wont to do. Even working with his mentor while training him for Beacon's entrance exams doesn't really count as team work. Beacon couldn't be using past experience for leadership selection. Closest thing to a leader Sherwood was familiar with back home in the village was the town mayor, and he was not much of one at that. Always blustering on about this or that, paperwork or some other thing that the hard working people in town had absolutely no time for. It went for Sherwood as well, any hour doing paperwork could translate to another deer to feed the people in town. With any luck, the others won't need him to be so aggravating.

Still, Sherwood was in it for the team. Last words the old man said to him before leaving were 'trust your team', and Sherwood would be damned if he didn't listen to his mentor. He may not know what being a leader means yet, but he'd figure it out; either through class, through experience, and through careful thought. This team meant more to him than, if he's being honest, even he expected it to. And they deserved the best leader, whatever kind of leader that is.

Sherwood rolls his shoulders with a sigh, stopping his train of thought. Hopefully classes give him a leg up on where to start, cause figuring this out is already a daunting task. And that's not even considering there will be homework to be done too.

"Definitely the place." Sherwood says with a whistle. The arena was as large as some of the clearing they'd come across in the Everfree. Leave it to the top Huntsman schools to go all out. He straights up as he approaches who he can only assume is the professor.

"Good morning sir. We're team ASPN, and if Ah read the schedule right... We're supposed to be meeting you here." he says, making sure to have some form of proper posture, unsure if professors in the big city were strict about that kind of thing.

Noctis quietly made his way to where his scroll was leading him to his first class. This was a large school and the last thing he wanted to do was get lost on his first day of class. He kept his right hand resting in his coat pocket and the other held his Beacon issued scroll. Getting to his destination  Noct was a bit intimidated by the Beacon Arena, the one back in Mistral was nowhere the size of this one. Still he kept calm following the smell of cigar. Noctis covered his nose with his shirt, but immediately dropped it when a older gentlemen came into view along with his team leader Sherwood.

"This must be the instructor,"Noctis told himself.

He half smiled at Sherwood giving as his crappy greeting. "Hey Sherwood."

"I'm Noctis Quartz," He said to the instructor in a it of a monotone. "A member of team ASPN"

He shoved his scroll in his ammo bag. As habit, he stood in front of the man standing up straight with his hands at the small of his back. This is the one habit from Atlas that never seemed to die. He decided that staring his instructor would give off the impression that he was spacing of or had really bad bitch resting face, so he focused on studying the arena incase he wanted to draw it later.

Argent was carrying a water bottle and a bag containing his coat and his weapon as he walked into class. "I'm Argent Grae, sir." The faunus looked toward the teacher, then took a gulp of the little water he had left, then threw the bottle in his bag after putting the cap on it.

He looked toward Noctis and Sherwood with a smile. Argent had already picked up the smell of the cigar ages ago, and was able to follow it here, though he knew here the arena was (It was kind of hard to miss it).

Even with his hood up, Persimmon did an over-dramatic motion with his hands to keep the sun out of his eyes as he stepped into the outdoor arena. Shading himself with his hand, he scanned the area and found it very much not to his liking. Wide open spaces, limited shade, the stands that, even unoccupied, made him uncomfortable... this was not going to be a pleasant lesson.

Regardless, this early in his first year was not the best time to pick a fight with Beacon administration. At least for now, he would play nice with the teacher. Letting out a private sigh, he pulled his hood back and joined his teammates (only moments before class was to start). With a bright, cheery smile and a painfully friendly voice, he addressed the teacher.

"Persimmon Burhan of ASPN here, sir! Pleased to meet you!" He even considered offering his right hand for shaking, but decided that may be taking the act too far.

OOC: I'm not all for playing multiple characters, but in order to keep it simple and easy to manage, I'm just going to use my own characters to fulfill the rest of the needs.


Looking over to where the four students made their way over, Oberon activated his semblance and began "Pinning" each of them. "Good morning Sherwood, Noctis, Argent, and Persimmon." he said, looking at each one glow a light orange from his semblance as he said their names. Without them realizing what he had done, he moved forward to face each of them. "Glad to see each of you here and on time. Without further ado, let's begin, shall we? My name is Professor Oberon Falcov..." he said, gesturing to himself. "And I am the Team Strategy teacher here at Beacon." Taking a puff from his cigar, he blew the smoke out into the crisp morning air. "As I'm sure many of you may be wondering, this doesn't seem like a normal classroom. That is because it is not. Though I do have a classroom where we discuss tactics, I have found it much more beneficial to put a team's teamwork ability to the test by actual live simulations." Taking another puff, he finished his cigar and proceeded to put it out by extinguishing it on his calloused hand before throwing it to the side. "This is why you are all here this morning. Team ASPN has been chosen to undergo various simulations which will put how well each of you work together as a team to the test. You will be graded on how well you work together as well as whether or not you accomplish your objective. Now, rest assured, each of these test will more than likely not kill you" he said, chuckling softly. "However, this will push you to the extreme. Remember, this is a team effort..." he said, looking at each student one by one. "That means that you must know your teammates well: what their strengths and weaknesses in combat are and work around those to accomplish the goal."

Pausing for a moment to let everything sink in briefly, Oberon looked over to the entrance of the Arena. Where in the world are they...? he thought before continuing. Let me make one thing clear to each of you: Your team is your family while you are here at Beacon. They are your brothers in arm with one single objective: to become huntsmen for the good of Remnant. And just as many of you have ones whom you care about, whether it be friends or family, your team is to become part of that list. If there is one thing to take from this lesson, it is this: find something worth protecting, something worth dying for, and nothing will be able to stop you." Looking around at the students briefly, he turned to glance at the entrance and smiled slightly. "And it looks like the last of the helpers are here as well"


Walking down the hall into the outdoor Arena, Savas squinted slightly at the morning sunlight beaming onto his face. Under normal circumstances, mornings were a joy and blessing for him. However, the loss of his team had left a bitter taste to mornings and all he could do was grimace as he began walking down the steps, his footsteps making a loud thump each step he took, to where Professor Oberon and four other students were standing. "I wonder what team is going through simulation today? Did Obi tell you which team it was Vashie?" a cheerful voice sounded beside him. Of all the people he had to pick...why her? he thought, sighing slightly. He had nothing against Suntalia, and even smiled from time to time due to her spunk, but there was nothing worth smiling about nowadays for Savas. "Nggrh...I told you to not call me that Suntalia. And no, Oberon did not tell me which team is going through the simulation, only that it was a first year team." he said softly, his deep voice resonating through the empty seats.

Making their way down the steps and into the Arena grounds, Savas continued to walk towards the center, where Oberon was standing. "A first year team? This should be fun to watch!" Suntalia beamed, skipping alongside the hulking giant in order to keep up. Were anyone to look at the duo, they wouldn't help but stare at the sheer difference between the two: one being a rather short and petite girl in bright orange and cream colored clothing while the other was nearly twice the height and girth of the first and wearing a crimson colored full lamellar armor suit. Stopping a few paces away from Oberon and the students, Savas nodded his head in acknowledgement to the Professor while Suntalia busied herself by waving cheerfully at the students and giving them her best dimpled smile.


"Now that the others are here, we can begin." Oberon said, gesturing to the two newcomers. For those of you who may be wondering, I have asked that two of your upperclassmen come and assist in your simulation. Here is third year Suntalia Lyn Ryker" he said, pointing at Suntalia who was continuing her dimpled smile and wave at the students. "And here is fourth year Savas Carnelian." he said, gesturing to the scowling, towering behemoth. "They are here to assist in anyway needed should anything go awry. Now, I've done enough talking so let's get straight to the action. However, before we begin, do any of you have any questions?" he asked, arching an eyebrow at each of the students.

As Professor Oberon spoke about their responsibility as Huntsman, Sherwood felt pride rise inside him. Certainly, it was only a first step but for Sherwood, this was enough. This and all the other classes on Grimm, combat, and how to live up to the ideal that defines the term Huntsman. Getting to these halls is an achievement in itself, and not one to undervalue. What he'll learn will take him as far, and that's an exciting prospect.

And when the Professor moves on to today's class being a team effort and knowing one's teammates; Sherwood frowns slightly. He'd forgotten his appointment in the last few minutes and the Professor's words bring that back to the forefront. He steels his resolve to do everything he can to live up to the title. Even if... he wasn't sure how.

Sherwood tries to come up with a wording for his concerns, to ask the Professor's advice. Not much comes to mind as he nods to the upperclassmen when they're introduced. Even after Professor Oberon asks for questions, what he actually wants to ask eludes his grasp.

Instead, he asks "One Professor. Should we... approach learning each others strengths and weaknesses any particular way? Ah'd... rather do this right from the start."

I agree with Sherwood," Noctis says.

Noctis as a matter of a fact. has little to no knowledge about any of his team members other than their appearances. He did learn a handful of things about them during the initiation and really the only thing the team learned about him was that he was clumsy/accident prone- which is a bad thing now that he thinks about it. Maybe he should just keep to himself until he feels comfortable with talking freely. He mentally smacked himself since this was so unlike him to be so nervous.

Persimmon smiled and waved at the students that entered behind them, but quickly regretted it as he was told that the girl was his upperclassman. Yeah... he had no chance.

But hey, team building exercises. Woohoo?

Argent looked up to the professor waiting for his answer to Sherwood's question. While he was doing that he unzipped his bag and took out his weapon; Silber Brecher. He kept the weapon in its neutral form, for now.

He gave a nod to the upperclassmen that him and his team were introduced to. He also thought it bad that his team didn't know their strengths and weaknesses as well as he had hoped, though he guessed that was what this class was for.

"A very good question, Sherwood." Taking out another cigar, Oberon lit it and took puff from it. Making his way over to one of the large crates, he placed a hand on it. "Learning about a person's personality and quirks is best spent outside of class. To learn someone's strengths and weaknesses however..." With a slight twinkle in his eyes, he pulled out his Scroll and turned to face the first years again, a smirk crossing his face. "Those things are best learned in combat." Tapping his Scroll, both metal crates made a loud buzzing noise as the doors to each of them swung open. "Your first lesson for Team Strategy: You must always be prepared for anything, whether expected or unexpected." Shooting Savas and Suntalia a look and nod, he turned back to the first years. As soon as he did that, a loud roar came from one of the crates. Freed from its cage, the large Beringel jumped out into the open Arena. "Consider this to be a review of what happened in the Emerald Forest!" Oberon yelled as he made his way over to the stands to observe.



Taking his cue from the Professor, Savas nodded and turned to Suntalia. "Time for us to take our positions. I'll guard the entrance and you take the high ground" he rumbled, looking down at the petite woman beside him. "Aye aye sir!" was all he heard as he turned his back to her. Moving quickly, he proceeded to the entrance and, taking out Sandalphon and Metatron, he turned and faced the Arena.

Saluting to Savas and giggling to herself, Suntalia ran quickly over to one of the pillars. Picking up speed, she deftly ran up the pillar and took her seat at the top. Smiling at the first years, she cupped her hands around her mouth. "Go team! You guys got this!!!" she yelled, her vibrant voice echoing through the battleground. As if annoyed by her voice, the creature in the second metal grate made a hissing like noise and scrambled out. Opening and closing its massive pincers, the giant Deathstalker moved to position itself better. "Errrr...you guys still got this!!!" Suntalia exclaimed, watching as the two giant Grimm flanked the first year team. This should be fun to watch she thought, a dimpled smile crossing her face.



Watching the Deathstalker come out, Oberon took another puff. "The Deathstalker is an added bonus. Don't want you guys thinking this will be a piece of cake after all!" he yelled. "Don't worry! Should any of you be in any mortal danger, just call for help and either myself or one of your upper classmen will be there to help. Just remember what you learned in your initiation and use each others weapons and semblances to your advantage. Your learning process starts now!" With that said, Oberon pulled out his canteen and took a sip of the still warm coffee that was in it.

"Woah there..." Sherwood says as the Berlingel jumps out of it's cage. "Ah don't mind, but Ah do wonder if all of our classes will be this... engaging." Sherwood mutters. He drops his school bag and grips Tristram, the limbs sliding into their place from the bow's resting form.

He scans the field quickly, not sure what exactly he's looking for. "... Alright, Argent, get Persimmon to high ground, launch him!" he shouts, assuming he was supposed to be giving direction. Knowing the team's strengths is his job right? He has to make their skills mesh, know their moves before they do... Hoe-boy. That's a catch twenty-two; he needs this lecture to survive this lecture.

"Noctis, you and me go north! If we're out of sight by the wall, maybe they'll... fight each other, Ah guess! Argent, you catch up!" Sherwood finishes and sprints towards the wall, nocking an arrow as he runs. Hopefully... This will work. Or else Sherwood really wasn't sure what he'd do. They'd do.

Noctis sighed, another  Beringel? Really? He has had enough of those things- he only fought one, but that was one too many. Well I suppose this would be the second one he had fight against. Hopefully this one didn't want him as a prize like the last one did. The male sighed as he drew his sword awaiting Sherwood's orders. Thank the maidens that Sherwood's plan didn't involve him to go off alone against any of the grimm as a distraction; not like that was an issue or anything like that.

"Yes sir," Noctis says with a half hearted salute with his right hand then proceeded to follow Sherwood.

He glanced at the deathstalker trying to avoid direct contact because whenever he makes eye contact that clearly ment "take me I'm yours". Noctis moved his gaze to Argent biting his lip, awkwardly checking out the faunus from afar. Way to be inconspicuous Noctis, A+ for the day. Looking back forward Noctis didn't even try to hide his blush as long as Sherwood didn't look back to see it or anyone else for that matter.

"Woah, woah, alright big guy, hands off," Persimmon protested before even giving Argent time to lay a finger on him. "I'll find my own way to high ground... one that doesn't make me the most obvious target on the friggin' battlefield!" He darted off in the opposite direction from where Sherwood and Noctis had gone before anyone could protest. As he looked for a good perch, Persimmon mentally scolded himself for getting legitimately flustered.

He also noticed there really was no good perch. The pillars were too high to climb without any external gear (at this observation Persimmon noted that he should probably add climbing gear to his kit at some point in the near future) and he doubted he could fight from the stands without automatically failing the assignment. Anywhere he set up would at least have a good view of the battlefield, but conditions were far from ideal.

Ultimately, he settled for climbing on top of one of the boulders, which would at least provide cover if not vantage.

"As you wish.." Argent sighs as Persimmon dashes away from him. The faunus was happy it wasn't a King Taijitu, but he had never encountered a Deathstalker before. In his hands, his weapon transformed into its cannon form, and he was ready to fire his ice dust at one of the beasts.

He thought that Sherwood's prediction may come true, but he looked up for a confirmation to fire anyway.
