Peaceful, yet ominous; a rather accurate description of the wilderness in northern Vale at this point in time. Given the events surrounding Beacon Academy, many Grimm in the area had flocked en masse to the once presitigious school, now little more than a hub for the sinister creatures. With such a large-scale exodus of Grimm from their natural habitats, many of the forests in the surrounding area soon became devoid of their presence. The occassional wild Grimm would indeed surface from time to time, though the substantial lack of them in certain areas would be far more noticeable.

In the very least, this would make the forests somewhat safer to traverse in this day and age. On this day, two female students have taken the opportunity to venture through the more quiet sections of the woods. The young faunus, Beryl, took up a seat on a rock while observing her friend, Shula. The latter of the two had discovered a rather spacious clearing, and thus took the opportunity to do some sparring in the open area.

"Hraaaah!" Shula let out a few shouts and grunts while swinging around her morningstar, the Sharur, with its spikes currently retracted. She seemed to be practicing a few potential combat manuvers, mainly involving the strategy of transforming her weapon mid-swing, as a way to possibly throw opponents off-guard.

"Are you sure you don't want to rest, Shula?" Beryl soon spoke up, "You've been practicing for a while now." She added in, noting that Shula had spent roughly 20 or so minutes trying to perfect this manuver of sorts.

"Ahh...heh, true. A break wouldn't be that bad of an idea." Shula soon spoke up after taking a deep breath, "Maybe just a few more tries, though? I know I've almost got this down..." She soon went back to testing out the technique, causing Beryl to rub the back of her head slightly, though smile in the process. However, Shula's persistence and brief shouts may not go unnoticed should there be anyone nearby, especially given how serene and generally quiet the area was.
