"Well, even if ya' don't want it, teams are sorta necessary." Koishi spoke from the side.
"I did researchin' on the place before hand, and everythin's in teams. You're tested as a team, you pass as a team, or you fail a a team." Koishi continued. "The exam thingy's the exception, I think. Unless you want it to be that way...? Nah, that's too unpredictable. I need some more potpourri." Koishi's thoughts went off center once more as she stared back into the sky.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

When the ship stabilized, the cat faren took her hand off the deck and stood upright. Anyone paying close nough attention might have noticed she wasn't actually hanging on to anything, rather her hand had just been resting flatly against the floor. Lucy was unharmed, but her plate of sushi wasnt' so lucky. She didn't even know where it was anymore.
She gave a slight pount, but i quickly faded as a strange little girl entered entered the seen. She had bumped into the viking girl's legs but she didnt' seem to budge. That girl had some impressive lower body strength. She decided not to bother them for the tim being. For now she just wanted to make sure her brother was alright.
Asura managed to hang on by grabbing hold of one of the rails, offering his hand to anyone who might have needed it. When the ship stabilized the young boy gave a small sight before chucking. He found something about Miu and Raiko's conversation funny. "Hey anything is possible. Have you ever flown a big air ship like this before?"
The ship came into clear veiw of the school. They would be landing very soon and then the real test would begin.

Hartman closed his eyes, giving what the huntress said some deep thought. Kensei had started snoring in his seat as the others were all chatting or doing whatever else. Yuru was munching on some of her home made cookies, but ended up being he first to answer Amilia's question. "A hunter's greatest weapon is their mind. Outsmarting a kishin might be easy. But outsmarting hundreds of other students might be a bit more tricky."
Hartman finally opened his eyes, seeming to have collected all of his thoughts. "Yes, this exam will test a person's strength as well as their wit. Not to mention whether thay or moraly just. Yuru, Ms. Saki. You remember what to do to students who misbehave yes?
"PUNCH THEM IN THE BALLS!" Yuru crudely blurted out while punching her own cupped hand for emphasis. While she wasn't wrong with her answer, the way she said it wasn't very professional at all. Then again she did have the appearance of an eleven year old.

Diana was now again confident to loose the hold of her weapon as she glanced at the different students who managed to either stay upright or fell with the nose dive, she couldn´t but chuckle with the dark humour of someone´s misfortune, mostly with the memory of her friends in her home town with pranks and traps.
She then felt that the feren girl Lucy was leaving with a pout on her face "Hey scythe girl." she called while opening her satchel and taking some beef jerky "It might not be fish, but it should compensate for the lose of your food." she offered the dry meat to the girl. "Although I suggest you to keep some in the case we stay for a long time in the forest."
Balefire Academy | Forest
The feren nodded at the headmaster "I will try to check on most of the students, from the files I read, there are promising applications here, while there are the obvious ones who wish to kill the kishin as a way of vengeance, while others want to do it for the honor of their elders and so on" she dismissed the idea as if it was something insignificant "Yet the smallest group is the one that wish to actually learn to be hunters"

After almost falling down when the ship wobbled, Azur saw Balefire in the distance. It seemed like a remarkably large school, having a lot of space both for combat training and excursions. Azur turned to the others, and asked the others, "Well, we're almost there. Are you all ready? I'm pretty pumped up, myself." Looking around, others have already started forming teams and some even arguing. Nothing really stood out to him, other than some two-tailed feren, a highly hubristic military person, and some person cosplaying as a viking or something. 'Well, this is going to be a REAL interesting school,' Azur thought, as he slowly shook his head.

As the ship nearly nosedived, Aeron lowered his stance to the point of touching the ground and pushing the side of his boot into the floor, preventing him from sliding away or falling. As the ship righted itself, Aeron stood back up and let out a faint sigh as he heard what the pilot had said.
(Falling asleep while flying? Maybe she should consider turning on autopilot...), Aeron thought as he brushed himself off. It was then when Aeron saw Lucy coming over to see if he was alright.
"Yea, I'm fine.", Aeron said to the girl.

Saki nodded at the headmaster to confirm that she knew what to do if the stuents got out of line, but the moment she heard Yuru express her enthusiasm to crush some unsuspecting student's crotch with her fist, she suddenly stopped in mid nod and slightly slumped her shoulders as looked over to the cat-like girl with a slightly incredulous and dismayed look on her face.
"You seem a little too excited about beating up children, don't you think?", Saki asked Yuru with a rather nervous yet slightly amused smile.

Raiko thought about Asura's question for a moment, recalling her past two years. "Hmm, the flyboys did let me fly a transport craft before, a small one though. But that's nothing compared to First Sphere, what I'd do to get my wings again. Whoops, military secrets."
As she looked over the balcony again, she saw the university far in front. It was impressive to say the least, but it was nowhere near the familiar university that her mother owned. She grinned when she heard Azur's question.
"Ready? Heh, I've been ready the whole time. Mi?"
"You might not be able to tell, but Miu can barely contain her excitement. The only reason why she hasn't started fighting yet is because of all the sweets that distracted her."

The headmaster gave a similar reaction to Yuru's statment as Saki's. However he didn't speak up just yet. He wanted to hear what the girl had o say. Yuru however ignored the comment. Instead she turned and looked at her master with an innocent looking smile on her face. "Master if I get more tags than you, you have to pet me until I fall asleep tonight. Unless you're chicken." she said while sticking her tongue out and trying to entice her master into taking the bet.

Lucy was glad to see her brother was alright, but before she could say much to him, she got distracted by a tasty looking snack that the viking girl had offered her. Lucy looked at the snack with sparkling eyes, inching closer and closer to it with her face before chomping down on it and taking it from her hand. It took her a while to chew, the meat was a lot more rough than what she was used too. She seemed to be enjoying it.
Asura looked out towards the school as a look of anticipation came to his face. He couldn't help but emphasize with his new friends about their discussion. "Gotta admit, I'm pretty eager myself. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. This is still a dangerous test. If we rush in without thinking we're doomed to fail.

Nodding at Asura, Raiko sighed. "I know, I know. But I haven't had an adrenaline-pumping, high-risk fight in three years. Sniping is so boring. Wait, Mi's excited?
"Bloodlust. An unfortunate or perhaps fortunate side effect of fusing with me."

Seeing how much was back to normal, or rather as normal as it could be after a near-crash, Aeron looked back to Diana and thought about what she had said for just a moment before speaking once again.
"I don't think indifference, would be too much of an advantage. Whether you don't react to death and destruction or are just a bloodlusting maniac, none of it matters if you are not prepared and are not properly trained. I will say though that in situations like what we're about to get into, it's best to keep a cool head.", Aeron said to Diana as he fiddled with one of his small sandwiches before taking a bite.
Balefire Academy | Forest
Saki's expression slowly ebbed away until there was a light smile remaining.
"You speak as if it is a bad thing... Though what will happen if I win?", Saki asked her familiar, leaning in as her light smile turned into a rather playful one.

The ship hovered ovr the landing space and slowly started touching down. It desended slowly enough to give it a smooth landing but still swift enough not to take all too long. the speakers went active one last time as the male voice from before returned. "Attention all students, we've arrived at Balefire Academy. Please exit the ship in a calm and orderly fashion and enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you."
Asura gave a slight chuckle at what the strange little flower had said. It seemed familiar to him somehow. "Well as long as you don't go all Flowey the Flower on us, I think a little blood lust is fine. Whatever keeps you alive i guess." he said wondering who would get the reference. "Well we better get going. Don't wanna be late for our first exam.'

Yuru didn't have to think to long about her answer. She already knew exactly what to give her. "If you win then I'll cook anything you want for dinner served just the way you like it. I'll even feed it to you if you like." she answered, seeming all too confident in herself.
Kensei finally woke up when he heard the airship touch down. He seemed overly excited and energetic for someone who had just gotten up from a nap. Oooooh the new students are here. I can't wait to see the new first year girls. Always so full of life and potential!" he wasn't even trying to hide his true meaning behinde that. His motives were quite clear.
