After noticing that her sister's endurance had increased from running everywhere without stopping, Yang was finally convinced that the pills actually worked.

"Okay, those things actually work. But I bet you that my stats are better than all of yours."

Yang said, displaying the stat sheet she received from Shizuo.

Ilia and the Malachite twins began giggling together at her stat sheet until Miltia spoke to her.

"Sorry, blondie. You may have a bimbo body that any girl would envy, but our stats are way better than yours. Take a look."

The three girls held up their stat sheets, puffing their chests in pride.

"You... you, BITCHES! You all cheated with those pills."

"YOU!!!"

After finishing reprimanding the three girls, she points at Shizuo.

"Shizuo, give me my share of pills or you won't touch this fine piece of ass for a long time!"

Yang threatened standing up and smacked her ass. Her firm buns jiggled slightly, and she clearly wasn't ashamed of being seen as she rolled her eyes playfully. Shizuo sighed and didn't bother to argue with her. It wasn't a fight worth picking

"Yeah, sure. Why not."

Thanks."

She winked, took the pills she wanted, and gave him one last grin. Moments later she felt the effects of the pills changing her body.

Aura: C- Rank > C > C+

Vitality: C+ Rank > B-

Endurance: C+ Rank > B- 

"Hell yeah! I can feel it."

Watching Yang get pumped up was a fascinating sight, her figure was truly the envy of most girls. As she jumped in victory, her alluring hourglass figure got the attention of all the boys in the cafeteria, seeing her voluptuous bust jiggle as she moved.

He wasn't surprised when he found himself staring at a pair of hands in front of his face. As he looked up, he was face-to-face with his favorite 'Kitty Cat' from his harem, Blake Belladonna.

"I want my share too, Shizuo!"

Blake attempted to sound assertive, but the playful wiggle of her cat ears betrayed her true feelings.

"Sure, why not. Here you go."

Thirty minutes later, Professor Glenda Goodwitch's announcement echoed through the halls.

"Would all first-year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation? Again, all first-year students report to Beacon Cliff immediately."

Shizuo and Yang emerged from the closet he had used the previous night and made their way to Beacon Cliff, unconcerned with their appearance.

They quickly congregated at the academy's cliffs, which overlooked a large sea of green trees, and were arranged to stand in a long line of silver tiles near the edge. 

Upon arrival, they encountered Ruby, who immediately began questioning her sister.

"Yang, your hair's partially disheveled, and what's that white stuff in your face?"

"..."

Yang stood shocked annoying how to answer.

"Were you two fucking?"

Her younger sister exclaimed loudly, causing Yang to look at her in utter shock.

"Who taught you to speak like that?"

She demanded.

"Was it the four troublemakers in our group?"

"God, Yang, I'm fifteen, not five. I know more people than just you and Dad."

Ruby retorted sharply. This unexpected development captured his interest. He remembered the show portraying Ruby as the epitome of sweetness and Yang as excessively protective. Witnessing Ruby swear and assert herself was an astonishing sight for him.

Amused by the sister's banter he'd gotten himself up standing on a square platform alongside a bunch of other students. In front of them stood Headmaster Ozpin, who was calmly sipping from a mug of hot chocolate as he waited for everyone to settle, and Ms. Glynda Goodwitch, who was holding a tablet that she was constantly checking. As soon as he was sure everyone was accounted for, Ozpin began to speak.

"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda then began to speak.

"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 your teammates ... today."

"What?! Ohhh..." 

Shizuo heard Ruby groan in the distance whimpering and mumbling something.

Ozpin continued his part again.

"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. That being said the first person you make contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

"WHAAAAT?!"

Ruby shrieked in horror, causing Shizuo to wince. Further down the line, he saw a ginger girl turn towards the pink-eyed boy excitedly.

"See? I told you!"

She whispered.

"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."

Ozpin announced causing some of the students to shuffle nervously at this statement. Adam nodded, not really surprised by this revelation.

"You will be monitored and graded for 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?"

"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."

the Headmaster finished his explanation.

"Are there any questions?"

Jaune raised his hand.

"Um, sir ..."

Jaune asked.

"Good! Now, take your positions."

One by one, the students prepared themselves. The ginger crouched down onto her tile, while the pink-eyed boy pulled out his blades pistols. Yang raised her fists, and Ruby tightened up her body.

"Oh, and Mr. Heiwajima, a moment of your time, if you would please."

Ozpin turned his attention towards Shizuo.

"What is it?"

Shizuo sighed, watching out of the corner of his eye as the first silver tile forced itself upwards with a large spring, launching off the students into the air.

"Ms. Goodwitch wanted me to remind you that you will indeed be monitored during this test, just in case you were to lose your temper."

the Headmaster explained quietly, as more students were launched off the cliffs.

"Oh, for the love of... I can keep myself in check. Is her opinion really that low of me?!"

Shizuo demanded in a hushed whisper. As he said this, The ginger smiled widely as her own tile was suddenly forced upwards, throwing her up toward the sky. Ren, maintaining his ever-stoic expression, was quickly sent hurtling after her.

"Well, there have been several recorded incidents where you acted with violence first against others."

Ozpin admitted. Close by, Yang turned to Ruby and winked, before putting on a pair of aviators, just before her tile was shoved upwards.

"Woo-hoooooooo!"

She whooped as she soared into the air, her little sister following after her a second later.

"Don't worry, Ozpin. I don't intend to cause any problems, as long as nobody messes with me. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Shizuo tried to reassure the Headmaster. 

"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question. So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?"

"No. You will be falling."

Adam's tile sprang up from under him, and he was gone. Ozpin watched the bodies of his most potentially dangerous student disappear into the wild blue yonder,

"Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?"

"No. You will be using your own "landing strategy."

"Uh-huh... Yeah."

"So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!..."

Jaune asked this part, but he was then hurled to the cloud with the students, now making their way down into the forest below under the eyes of the teachers. Ozpin, for his part, simply then took another sip from his mug. This year's initiation was going to be quite the spectacle. He could feel it.
