Ozpin smiled as he heard Schwarz and Ravira already becoming friendly. There was some worry among the other faculty and even Miss Goodwitch had her doubts about how smoothly this would go over, the trainees having lost their partners. The accident itself was a mystery, to be honest. But it appeared things were turning out to be... quite an interesting year indeed. The pairings themselves were all right, and although some didn't seem to get along, they would in time. His mind turned to Ruby and Weiss, the bickering pair. They couldn't seem to decide on anything, but now they seemed already to be greatly cooperative. Ruby definitely had the potential for leading her team to victory and success. But Ozpin wondered, with that same smile, whether the others would be as well. It was a pleasant thought, not knowing. But somehow, he still had faith in them all.

The ceremony, at last. Group after group ascended to the stage, to be given their team name and team leader. It was finally what they had all been working for. They were one step closer to being Hunters and Huntresses, but it seemed like they had passed the hardest hurdle. Although some of the groups were a little less than pleased with their matchmaking, they couldn't help but feel pride and joy from this event.

"Michelle Kine, Kael Lordonos, Gerald Tarius, Fransesca Stahl." Ozpin announced, and their images appeared on the screen above him. The four stepped up to the stage, and Ozpin continued. "The four of you picked up the White Bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as... Team Melanthios." The pictures rearranged and the letters MLTS flickered underneath their image. "Led by Michelle Kine." A round of applause roared out from the audience, and Ozpin said to Michelle "Congratulations, Miss Kine."

After those four stepped off the stage, the next four stepped up. "Ravira Tudios, Schwarz Nacht, Perry Symund, Kuhaku Kuroshi. The four of you retrieved the Black Queen pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as team... Patroklus." The images reconfigured once again, with the letters PTKS. "Led by Perry Symund. Congratulations, all of you." Followed by more applause. The four of them stepped off the stage as the next team was being addressed, allowing the eight of them time to rejoice and converse before the end.
