[Are you ready to BE helped by the most disastrous Huntress of all time?!
Amazingly enough, EVERYONE had managed to survive the crazy year and the crazy Vytal Festival Tournament. Everyone! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, DO YOU HEAR-- ahem. Aaaanyway, now Team JNPR were officially UPPERCLASSMEN! Well, the lowest rung of upperclassmen, but still upperclassmen. And today was a school-wide exercise in which said upperclassmen would be sparring with all the first-year students they come across. Dust help the poor soul that Nora finds first.]
[Duck still isn't exactly sure how she got into Beacon. She wants to be here, of course, she's just really not sure how she made the grade. Apparently Ozpin was impressed with her weird semblance and just didn't realize how rarely she can activate it? He had mentioned something cryptic about believing in her, so. Couldn't be worse than Headmaster Drosselmeyer at her old school, right?
Regardless, it's Upperclassman Sparring Day and... Duck has managed to get separated from her team. Everyone else seems to be partnering up with upperclassmen except for her. Great, just great... She climbs up on a bench to get a better view, hoping to maybe see... someone? Anyone!]
[That's why nobody died she existed and so absorbed all the bad luck for all the redheads.
She jumps about a foot into the air, though, and turns towards the source of the voice. SHE WATCHED THE VYTAL FESTIVAL SHE KNOWS WHO THIS IS.]
Qua- Um! That is! I was just looking for my team because they managed to get away from me and you know what they say, the more the merrier, right, and you look really excited but I think that maybe if we just wait I'm sure I'll be able to find them and...
[And she pulls out... a sword! That's all it is. Just a sword.
It's sort of a hand-me-down, okay? And her dumb Semblance only activates when she or someone in her team really needs it, and the sword is only for when her Semblance won't activate.]
[Hey, swords are nothing to sneeze at. Well, maybe Weiss's sword but that's because dust can get in your nose if you're not careful and WHOA you don't want that!
Nora knows that pulling back during sparring doesn't do ANYBODY any good in the long run, but might as well give the kid some time to pick a strategy. So she shoots a grenade into the ground LAUNCHING her yard and yards into the air above!]
[Oh boy, that's sure something. Luckily, Duck knows a thing or two about air trajectories! So once she's sure exactly where Nora's heading, she is going to run away to the right from there. Blocking an attack like whatever that's setting up for seems like a Bad Idea.]
[Where she's headed? Straight down, of course! Nora lets out a whoop as she reaches the peak of her rocket, and on the fall she readies Magnhild for a MIGHTY swing like the ground they were standing on was a bell-ringer game, using the impact to push her into a run towards Duck!]
[SHE WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS, WITH THE RUNNING AND SUCH. Okay, no, she's not going to get anywhere by running. She stands her ground and holds her sword forward. She can... probably predict and block Nora's attack, when it comes?]

They're not here. And I guess it's one v one anyway, so... okay. I accept my fate. Tell my family I loved them.

Nora just grins and puts an arm around the girl, pulling her into a hug.]
Aw, come on, why're you giving up so early?!

[Not helping, Nora!]
So you know who I am! So who are you?

Same here! [And then Nora backs up and... uh-oh, that is a hammer unfolding from Nora's back.] So, ready?
