Kuhaku stood at the edge of the cliff with his arms crossed as usual, staring out the massive forest below. Tail swaying absently behind him, his ears turned in the direction of the Headmaster and Ms. Goodwitch as they spoke. He, himself, standing unmoving. 

Professor Ozpin and Glynda began their explanation to the students.
"[B]Now.[/B]" began Ms. Goodwitch. 
"[B]I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about he assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates. Today.[/B]"
"[I]Tch![/I]" Kuhaku scowled as he half wanted to remove his mask to spit at the notion. After the Headmaster's Address, he was a little annoyed at the fact that he had yet to see a faculty member that wasn't a human. Now this? Why did they have to be assigned teammates? Why be part of a team? Couldn't he go through his time at Beacon alone? But, thinking about it, it made a little sense. His parents had been a pair, after all. That made him wonder as to the other members of his parent's team...

The other students murmured amongst themselves over this new information, attempting to digest and understand it.
Ozpin continued, saying "[B]These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon.[/B]"
"[B]So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well.[/B]"
Not going to happen. He didn't exactly work well with others if his time at Signal Academy was anything to go by.
There was more muttering from the other students. 
"[B]That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years.[/B]" the Headmaster finished.
Absolutely idiotic. Kuhaku was quite visibly not happy with any of these proceedings.

As students were then launched off of the cliff, he quietly sighed. Might as well get things over with. At this point, there wasn't much he could do anyways. He applied, got accepted, and now was forced to obey the rules and regulations set forth by Beacon's academy. If this was their decision, he would have to respect it. Even if he didn't necessarily agree with it or like it. Uncrossing his arms, he stepped forward and was ejected off of the cliff side and into the air.

The night prior when the student body had gathered in the ballroom to all sleep together, he decided to make a few adjustments to his weapons in preparation for the initiation test. The decision to have both genders sleep in the same room together was something else he couldn't help but question. What exactly were they inviting by doing that? It was especially annoying when, as he worked on his weapons, he kept getting odd looks from both sides. He didn't have any belongings with him and it was a habit for him to sleep half-naked anyways. If they didn't like it, they could've just ignored him as he worked. The main adjustments he completed was to detach his chains from his gauntlets and completely wound them up within the winch device he had harnessed to his lower back. Requiring him to manually hook his chains to his gauntlets if he needed to use them. 

Wind loudly whipping around him as he descended towards the forest canopy at an alarming rate, he decided to prepare for the worse and at least be combat ready. Smacking his gauntlets against the sides of his hips, he slid and hooked his chains onto them. Stretching his arms outward, he pulled out a length of his chains and let the slack freely dangle at his sides as he neared the forest floor, the chain links clinking against each other musically. Landing with a [I]thud[/I] he made sure to roll forward to preserve his joints and maintain momentum. After rolling, he lunged forward and punched his right fist outward. With a loud [i]pop[/I] the hidden spike within his gauntlet shot outwards and slammed into a tree branch, burying itself deep within the bark and wood. The wood having splintered from the violent force of its impact. The device on his back then activated, shooting Kuhaku's body forward as it mechanically wound the chains back up, pulling him along the length of the attached chain. With an acrobatic flip, he squatted perched on the tree branch. Ripping the spike from the wood, he turned his head up towards the sky.

Sniffing at the air, his ears frantically twitched and acted as radar dishes. The main goal here was to locate some...relics and return safely with them. Complete that task, and your future at Beacon was sealed as a student. He would worry about teammates and a team later. He only hoped that whoever he would eventually be paired with would be a quiet and competent partner. Ascertaining the general direction he needed to head in, he detached his chains from his gauntlets. Unhooking them, he let the winch device on his back swallow the chains up, completely winding them up again. Staying up in the trees should keep him relatively hidden and safe from Grimm and other students, he figured. With a lunge, he began his search for the relics, bounding from one tree to another in silence.
