Julio's gut feeling turned out to be... very misplaced. The two of them arrived at the star shining above the exit perfectly fine and were able to step out of the Gauntlet without issue. Beyond the doorway they found themselves in a small rest area with large seats provided for finishing students, plus a water cooler in case they needed hydration after their long endeavor. They found a familiar face or two here. The dapper looking man was sitting crossed legged in one of the seats, about as quiet as ever. A blonde haired boy with jagged hair was also puffing and panting nearby, downing a cup of water. There was a stairwell leading upward, for when they felt they'd had their rest.
"Phew... I think we just about did it." The girl at his side sighed thankfully. 

At the mention of semblances, the Faunus shyed away, his fox ears folding down slightly as he avoided eye contact with him... he didn't answer for a little while and just seemed to get his words stuck in his throat. 
"It's not important... or worth talking about. C-Cmon, we've got a test to finish." He quickly reloaded his crossbow and fired into the mud to form the earthy platforms and began darting across them toward the star in the short distance ahead of them.
