Following Prism's instructions as best she could, Jocelyn tilted her body into a steep dive, shooting in front of the Beringel before toggling her jumppack for a momentum boost back up into the air. She swore she could feel the air from one of the Beringel's meaty hands grazing her ankles, but she got out of that situation scot free. Now to hope Prism's plan works...

 ●No changes in combat log
With a boom easily outclassing the previous impact, the remote mine cleanly evaporates everything above the Beringel's neck, scattering what used to be the Grimm's head over a wide area. The remainder of the body stood still, as if trying to register that its head had been given a ticket to another dimension, before slowly toppling over, disintegrating before it could hit the floor.

The Ursae did admittedly fare a bit better. Being shot by Amane's "hand cannon" caused one to stagger, but still managed to ram Coco. Not before its partner ran headfirst into the outstretched O.T.N., impaling itself completely. All that remained now was the heavily damaged sole Ursa.
TARGETS:
 ● Beringel x 1 Eliminated Fatality
 ● Young Ursa x 2 1 (1 eliminated by Coco)

Cresting the hill, Prism gains some height, before one final shot rings out - aimed directly towards the badly-damaged Ursa's head, before swooping down to help Amane back up onto the top of the cliff face before touching down herself.

Taking advantage of the moment of rest, the hummingbird faunus approaches the toppled Coconut to offer him a hand from his place in the dirt, talking to her team in the meanwhile. "Okay, that was really kickass, and all of you were beautiful - but also, that was waaay to close for comfort. Jocelyn, I should've told you to start moving sooner, so let's try to stay a bit more on our feet and in the air now to avoid things like that..." she gestures to the crater of where the tree impacted. "Coconut and Amane, you two have been great so far, and I like what you're doing, so no suggestions there unless you have anything to say yourself?"

[Walter]

With the ursa now dealt with, Coco opted to remain on one knee rather than get up immediately. The boy had worked up quite a sweat, as he had done just what he had said he'd do - gone in hard. Luckily, it seemed that they had earned some time to breathe. He accepted Prism's hand, not really considering it initially. After she had helped him stand up, however, he suddenly realized that he was, in fact, holding her hand. He wasn't in a rush to take his hand away.

"Heeh, yea, that was... Good. Good work." he comments, nodding enthusiastically. "We make a good team, wouldn't ya say?"

[MonsterManic]

Via strategic toggling of her jumppack's nozzles Jocelyn manages to float herself safely to the ground, before rushing over to give Prism a hug. "Thank you for saving me," she whispered, before letting go and stepping away awkwardly. Looking anywhere but in the direction of their leader, she notices the large figure of Professor Ferus walking toward them, having been observing the team from a distance.
From his vantage point further up the hill, Ferus spectated every single bit of combat and skill the team had to offer. Keeping his thoughts to the back of his mind for now, he reunited with the four hunters-in-training. "It is good to see the buds of cooperation already blossoming in a team so young. Many take this for granted, but the sad truth of it is that many teams do not come with the natural chemistry that allows for more sophisticated, advanced team attacks." he commended. Looking round at the four members, all in various states of dishevelment (though nowhere near his usual teaching attire--he needed to buy an iron), he stated "Scouts report we have time before the next wave, to take time off to rest up a little. However, I pose a question: What could have been done better?"

[Moth]

"Yeah, we do!" Prism confirms Coco's words, before letting go of his hand. Turning away from him, Prism gives a small squawk of surprise as she's slightly tacked by Jocelyn's overenthusiastic hug. Blinking for a moment, she barely has time to wrap her arms around the girl in return and murmur "Don't - don't mention it." before she pulls away. Prism stares at her shy teammate for a moment, blinking, before turning to the professor as he approaches.

The hummingbird faunus smiles as he compliments their teamwork already, but it disappears as he asks what could've gone better. She tilts her head, thinking for moment, before lifting a hand to count off the issues as she speaks. "Firstly, stationary snipers are dead snipers - that's a rule I try to live by. We shouldn't have assumed Jocelyn was safe in the back lines, and we should've gotten her up and moving sooner. We otherwise wouldn't have had her nearly squashed. I'm sorry about that, by the way." She nods to the healer, her expression apologetic. "Secondly, I feel like we could've been more coordinated. Everyone was in separate places on the ground, and bailing each other out of trouble was a bit hard, especially in Amane and Coco's case - hopefully no more scenarios where we end up with Amane dangling off a cliff without help, or Coco being cornered by three grimm like that. Thirdly... we need to work out a better way to take out large grimm like the Beringal as a team, and possibly multiple at a time. We're not always going to have bombs lying around."

Cream nodded in agreement to Prism's words, noting how positively adorable the exchange between her and Jocelyn was. He was slightly surprised by Amane offering the water bottle, but accepted it - he was pretty damn thirsty.

"Thanks! You were awesome out there, Amane!" he said before greedily chugging down some water. With the adrenaline starting to wear off slightly, he started to notice how tired he had gotten. He'd have to pace himself better if more grimm show up. He then handed the bottle back to the girl, smiling brightly. For once, it didn't even seem like he was smiling for some debauched reason, though his gaze did wander. It always did.

[MonsterManic]

Jocelyn raised her hand. "Apart from large Grimm, we need ways around the armor that most Grimm have. If something heavily armored turns up, like a Death Stalker, we need countermeasures against that. I know we have mines, but those will run out, and if we can't rely on the mines then there's nothing stopping it from walking over us." she said. Taking her time to compose her next ideas into a coherent sentence, she continued, "And Prism's right--I should have been more aware of my surroundings. The team shouldn't have to constantly keep an eye on me just because I'm stationary in the back lines."
Ferus nodded in agreement. "All the above is true; though I have had no experience acting as a ranged damage dealer, I have had my share of protecting those who were, and the ones who could protect themselves were the ones I enjoyed fighting aside the most. As for this one..." He lifted a gauntleted arm and pointed at Jocelyn. "Rare is the sniper who has mobility that a skirmisher would envy, and even more so when they have the ability to keep a team patched up even in the deepest of enemy lines. Treasure this one and keep her safe, and you will thank the stars when inevitably one gets injured.", causing the girl to blush from the teacher's praise.

Prism nods in response to Amane's salute, and then keeps nodding as a grin breaks out at Coco's compliment. "Can't deny you were effective out there, Amane!"

Turning back to the teacher and Jocelyn, Prism nods in response to the girl's thoughts. "It's a good point Jocelyn - we need to get good at finding their weak points and exploiting them as soon as possible, especially if we can start chaining attacks against grimm instead of working as individuals to cause damage. That's something to note. And it's always worth being aware of your surroundings, but we are around for a reason - if you ever need a boost, just give a holler. It's what my semblance is perfect for." However, as the Professor turns to compliment their healer, Prism's eyes widen slightly - even if she's wondering what the teammate's done to deserve the praise, it's not like the faunus can deny her importance "Hey, what he says is true you know. Most teams aren't lucky enough to even have a healer, so it's a wonder we have you in the first place. Our very own angel of the battlefield!"

The gentle smile directed towards Jocelyn is distracted by Amane's scientific babble, blinking as she digests what the young woman said. "Good plan to follow regarding Deathstalker, everyone take note of that. Regarding the incendiary grenade though, shorten the explanation, and maybe make it a tad easier for those of us who aren't as well-versed in chemistry to understand? There's no way we'd have time to piece that together in a battle."

Finishing answering everyone in turn, Prism pulls a lever on her glaive, and the staff begins to retract - switching back to it's primary form. "Okay then, here's our goals by the end of this thing: find a way to take out larger enemies like without the use of insane firepower, preferebly through exploitation of natural weaknesses, and most importantly doing it as a team. Sound good to everyone? I fully intend to make us the best team possible, and we can only do it through working together."

[Walter]

Cream mostly just batted his eyelashes at what was being said. To say that strategizing wasn't his strong suit would be putting it lightly. Attacking a grimm's weakpoints seemed easy enough in theory, but he wondered if he'd pull it off in practice - if it came to that, it might be more useful to switch OTN to it's shorter form so that he could recover from a whiff more easily. Either way, he'd have to cross that bridge when he got to it.

"Understood!" Coconut said at the end of Prism's speech, imitating Amane's earlier salute without realizing it. He still wasn't sure if he'd be any use against the larger, tougher grimm, but he'd certainly do his best, dang it!

[MonsterManic]

"Well said, leader." Ferus commented, before his scroll beeped twice and he pulled it out. "The next wave is here. Prepare yourselves, Team CASA, and hold strong." he commanded, before heading back up the hill to his original position.

Thanks to the Beringel knocking down trees upon its entrance, the team could now see somewhat further into the treeline. What they would see would both bring them relief and anxiousness. On the one hand, there seemed to be no armored units as was previously discussed. On the other...what the enemy lacked in armor they more than made up in numbers. If any member peered down a scope they would see a pack of 10 Beowolves, in a random scattered pattern, led by a pair of Alpha Beowolves and a single Ursa Major, the armor on the Ursa being curiously absent. Behind the Beowolves ran a swarm of small Creeps, easily numbering 15. Once again, there seemed to be no pattern to their formation.

The entire wave was still some distance away. Team CASA would have the advantage of dealing the first blow from afar before any of the Grimm could even reach the hill.
TARGETS:
 ● Alpha Beowolves x 2
 ● Ursa Major x 1
 ● Beowolves x 10
 ● Creeps x 15

Changing out her clip yet again, Prism pulls down her flight goggles. Peering down the length of her scope, she thinks for a moment about what's charging them down - before nodding to herself. The first clip of her weapon is spent on individual creeps, five shots ringing out individually and hitting home as the Grimm explode into dust. "Everyone who's got a ranged weapon, focus on the little guys for now everyone, I don't want to be overwhelmed by the time they're up here! Coconut, just... defensive stance, start moving down the hill. I want to be ready to meet those bitches when they get here."

Prism reloads, before stepping off the side of the cliff and letting the wind catch her, before catching an updraft into the air again - going to hover about 10 meters overhead at the top of the hill.
