Sure enough, dawn was around the corner, and with it came a hearty breakfast for all the candidates to enjoy. Well.. for [i]most[/i] of them anyway. Xinyue got up early that morning and had another cold shower and put on another clean china dress (along with fresh under of course), and had just gotten to the great hall... once again with dismay written all over her face.

[color=6ecff6][i]'Great... an even [/i]bigger[i] mess of foods not fit for a vegan,'[/i][/color] Xinyue sighed as this thought came across her mind. She couldn't blame the staff who organized these feasts though; after all, they would've had to cater for everyone else as well, and the masses typically didn't have such a dietary complication as Xinyue had. At least they had a decent selection of fruits available this time around...

After getting her fill of different melons and a papaya or two, Xinyue immediately went into her locker, grabbed her Arcus Splinters and a myriad of metal bolt and Water Dust bolt magazines, feeling as though she might need them for this specific initiation, before boarding the vessel that would take the candidates into the Emerald Forest, where the initiation was to take place.

...

While in the vessel, Xinyue listened in on the PA system, compartmentalizing everything she heard into a few key points. Namely, the trial was said to start in a few minutes, partners were to be determined as the first candidate one saw after they've landed, and they were to find a relic inside some ruins. The PA also mentioned that there were Grimm inside and told everyone that they should work together and not push themselves, but all that was a given. However, there was one thing in particular that Xinyue would scrutinize over...

[color=00a651]"Oh, and when I said a few minutes, I meant ten seconds ago."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Tch. That sly fie-..."[/color] before she could finish her remark, she was propelled straight through the open floor of the vessel, and left to devise how exactly to go about landing on solid ground without become street pizza on her own. One would think that that was what a parachute was for, but [i]apparently[/i] that would be too easy. She kept her arms and legs spread wide in order to slow her descent, which would give her time to think. However, she couldn't see much from so far up in the sky. As she continued her descent, however, Xinyue could see that the tree tops were starting to become clear. First, she amassed some light in both arms and launched it down towards the forest floor.

Those would come into play later when she got closer to the ground.

With her Arcus Splinters in hand, Xinyue then brought her arms forward and her legs together, making her fall at a much faster. She charged her Arcus Splinters while she was there, and fired some of the metal bolts, aiming to make a clearing and ensure no stray branches would impede her descent. With enough charged shots, she could see the dirt 'hole' that she'd made and aimed straight for it. She spread her arms out again just at the last second, only for two tiger spirits to lunge at her from a nearby tree, capture each arm in their respective maws and propel her back up into the air momentarily, diverting her path into another upright tree before letting go. Of course, Xinyue had planned for that entirely, using her legs to rebound off said tree, touching the ground with her hands and performing a back-flip, before finally landing on her feet; knees bent, right hand on the ground next to her feet and left arm outstretched for balance. Her tail had even swished from one side to another in a show-off like manner, as the two tiger spirits resounded near her side.

[color=6ecff6]"I'd like to think that landing of mine was most extravagant; all things considered,"[/color] Xinyue quipped, rising back up to full height as she searched for her potential partner with her two tiger spirits in tow.
