As the initiates began to congregate at the cliff, Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch began their abbreviated description of the trial to come. Lan could see them from a distance and doubled his sub-standard pace to reach the launch pads in time. One by one, the initiates were launched into the Emerald Forest, and the sluggish hedgehog Faunus barely managed to place his feet on an empty pad before it ejected him in line with the others...

Lan let out a whoop of excitement as he rocketed through the air like a rock flung from a trebuchet. He didn't even bother arming his weapon as he crashed through the trees at high speed; his weight carried him down to the ground safely, and his momentum allowed him to take massive strides, practically bounding through the forest. At some point, though, he lost control of his speed and tripped up, but he tucked himself into a ball and started somersaulting continuously to protect his head and chest. In this way did he barrel through a few small trees and even a couple Beowulves before finally hitting a tall maple tree and coming to an abrupt stop.

"Owwwww," moaned Lan as he unfolded onto his back and massaged his dome. "So dizzy...I ain't doing that again, no sir."
