Welcome to Gaia! ::

After giving that pink haired student some medacien for her scrapes Harthwin timidity left the girl alone. She seemed like she wanted to punch him, which he could understand why; and that's also why he left her alone. Harthwin walked only few steps before he felt a sudden vibration. It was a message. All students are to report to their assigned location at the emerald forest. Map to location along with your mission will be attached.
Harthwin slowly began walking towards the forest's cliff, just as the message told him to, and began study the surroundings of the academy. It was grand and amazing but for now Harthwin had to be content with taking in what little he could; after all duty calls.

From what he could see when he had arrived was a few thing; the view was vast and long and he was the first one here. "Being first comes with its advantages. Its like all of this belongs to me." Harthwin smiled to himself as he walked up to the edge and sat down nonchalantly, looking out into the distance before taking another look on the map of the mission area. Harthwin began focusing on the details of the map and then take glances back up to try and put the map with the real life image in front of him. "...Hum, I could probably do this by myself." After taking a look out into the woods Harthwin caught glance of a fox in a clearing. The fox was getting a drink from the river but the sight of it's ears reminded Harthwin of someone. Harthwin felt a sudden drop in his chest; the young man was still heartbroken and a tear had escaped. He quickly wiped it away and then began reminding himself he had to be tough, he and his sister are still here and are still alive; and he plans on keeping them that way. "Iris and I are still alive, and this is our lives now. No returning to the island and no giving up now, only moving foreword from here on in." Not paying attention to his surroundings, Harthwin gazed out onto the forest once more and simply waited for his soon the be teammates to arrive. He was just wishing it'd be sooner than later; all this sitting and thinking isn't doing the antsy warrior any good.

"This is just getting ridiculous." Harthwin openly vented to himself as he sat under the shade of the tree's leafs. His sweet was cover his upper half as the welcomed breeze cooled down the over heated fighter after training alone in an attempt to pass the time while he waited for his fellow teammates.

"I'm not gonna wait around and squander my chance to get in the academy. I'm sure Iris is pushing through so I've got to catch up and make sure she not alone at this academy." The duties of being an elder brother called upon for Harthwin to take matters into his own hands. If the others we not coming, or have entered the forest without him noticing, then it was up to him to carry out this mission; for his honer as a Grimm slayer and to enter the academy, ensuring his sister's safety. Without giving it any second thoughts Harthwin jump off the cliff after getting all his equipment and clothes. As he whooshed through the skis he'd take his sword and hold it to the side the next tree would come up on; every slam of his blade slowing him down. After enough tree slashing on of them was finally able to cling onto his sword and stopped him safely from becoming a red splash on the ground.

Harthwin's vibrant blue eyes scoured the surrounding forest from the tree branch he'd perched himself on but there was no sight of either his sister nor his objective. With only a sigh Harthwin aimed the butt end of his katana down to the ground and clicked a bottom located near the end of his weapon's handle. A small, thick weight shoot out fallowed with a linked chain behind it. It tugged a little as the chain fully extend and using this Harthwin was able to wrap it around a tree branch and began swinging along the tree top canopies like an ape would with jungles vines; the skilled hunter wrapping the chain from tree to tree to maneuver through the thick forest in search of his sister, the objective or any fellow student.
