Yasha watched as the previous student launched into the air. and seeing where this was all going, he prepped his semblance and crouched into a stance ready for launch. As he did so, his shadow subtly seemed to disappear as a faint shade crept up his body and into his scythe. If an onlooker was careful, he or she might even say that the scythe emitted a peculiar but barely perceptible hazy glow.
Within a moment, Yasha was launched high into the air by the catapult. Squinting his eyes against the air resistance as he sailed over the forest, he tried to get a scanning look at the ground below. He could see a clearing and what looked like some ruined buildings out in the distance, but that seemed a little far off. He wasn't sure if that was their objective, but with no other noteworthy features in this vast expanse of trees, those ruins seemed as good a place as any for some relics.
Yasha outstretched himself and brought his scythe over his head and hurled it into the forest below with as much force as he could muster, aimed as close to the ruins as was possible, which admittedly still probably not very close given their distance. Yasha focused on his semblance, using it to feel out his weapon as it spun like a pinwheel into the trees. Before long, the scythe embedded its blade into a thick tree trunk, which was great, because he was already starting to fall and needed to land quickly.
As soon as Yasha sensed that the weapon had stuck itself in a tree, Yasha activated his semblance. The same shade that entered his scythe at launch left it, creeping quickly along its handle. Within the blink of an eye, a shadowy construct in the shape of a large, muscular person appeared, grasping the scythe by the handle. Another blink of an eye later, Yasha was on the ground next to the construct, and it merged back into his shadow, disappearing. Yasha pulled his weapon out of the tree, thinking to himself "Piece of cake" with a small grin. Looking around to orient himself, he then took off in a light jog in the direction of the ruins he saw earlier.
