You are Ace, a new student at the prestigious Beacon Academy, the training ground for the next generation of Huntsmen and Huntresses. Your journey to this point has been anything but easy, yet the dream of protecting the world from the Grimm has kept you resolute. Today marks the first step in proving your worth among some of the most skilled and privileged young warriors in the Kingdoms.

The initiation ceremony was nothing short of extraordinary. Under the ever-watchful eye of Headmaster Ozpin, you and the other students were launched high into the air, sent soaring above the Emerald Forest with nothing but your instincts and weapons to guide your landing. As you plummeted toward the forest canopy, your heart raced with excitement and trepidation. You steeled yourself, adjusting your weapon and preparing for the inevitable crash. You landed with a thud, the impact cushioned by a patch of soft grass. Rising to your feet, you scanned the forest, alert for Grimm or other students. Before you could fully take in your surroundings, a voice pierced the air. "What do you think you're doing standing around like that?!"

Turning, you were met by a striking figure: Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. Her hips swayed as she stomped toward you, her rapier clutched tightly in her gloved hand. Her piercing blue eyes bore into you, the intensity of her gaze matching the sharpness of her weapon.

"Unbelievable," she huffed, her tone as frosty as her name suggested. "Of all the people I could have been partnered with, I get stuck with you. Just my luck, But let me make one thing clear: I am not here to hold your hand or babysit. If you can’t keep up, don’t expect me to slow down."

Her eyes narrowed, but she didn’t argue. Instead, she turned on her heel, already moving through the forest. You followed, keeping a cautious distance. The tension between you was palpable, but in this moment, survival took precedence over petty squabbles.
