He hadn't meant to wait the several minutes that he had before moving from where he sat, but Yuki was focused on inner thoughts over just how he was going to patch up the mistakes that he had made between himself and Astra. It was going to be difficult to properly put his attention on the task at hand if he didn't try to clear his thoughts, and the ghost shook his head as if he might physically accomplish that as he stood and moved toward the edge of the web.
A spider lingered nearby, and he glanced toward it after taking a look at just how far down he had to descend. "We're paired up then, I imagine?" With others going off with their respective companions, he could only assume that this one was 'his' for the challenge. He glimpsed a few students descending and moving about on the backs of their spiders, and it made him curious. It would be easier to at least get to the ground with its aid. "Mind giving a guy a ride to the ground?" Yuki asked, reaching out in a careful and coaxing sort of way. "I'm sure you're not going to fall like I worry that I might."
As the arachnid stepped up closer without protest, the boil took it as compliance to do just that. Still, he hesitated and rested a hand on the spider's back for response before he hopped onto it to ride properly. The creature was even kind and accommodating enough to offer its palps for him to hold onto, which was pretty convenient and helped to keep him from just tumbling forward and off entirely when they descended vertically from the tree.
He dismounted once all eight of the spider's feet were on the ground, going to the supplies laid out for their use and looking them over. Logic told him to select bark, as it would be something readily available in nearly any desperate situation. Leather would still be easier to acquire than steel... Regardless, he selected the metal for the ease of completing their task. Perhaps it was a bit of a cheat, but it had been a choice given them.
"If anything should do the trick, this will be it." Yuki said to his companion as he returned to it, reaching up to rest a hand at its back in wordless gesture and climbing on with the metal tucked under one arm once the spider had lowered its body a bit to allow him a ride again.
Once they'd arrived at one of the intact dummies, Yuki went to securing the steel around the torso. He was hasty about the preparation, and perhaps that was why it didn't hold up to the assault once he'd gotten out of the way and left the spider to attack.
"Well, at least it was on the dummy and not me..." Yuki muttered, although he was attempting to remain in good humor. "Good job, though." He gave his spider a gentle pat to a leg. "Though, this just means I need to borrow you for longer so that we can try again."
Yuki: First Attempt - Steel - FAIL

Okay, Puella. Think, think, think. Like TK. Heh.
What sort of structure would be the most impervious to attack?
Well. Here was the thing. Glancing between the dummy and her spider friend, Puella thought, she really did need a better assessment of the spider's abilities. Sure, it seemed like the spider was uniquely suited to getting between the many threads of silk, especially compared to people who were using things like steel. But it'd only really be a challenge - she'd only have learned - if she kept using spider silk. Also, it'd be far more useful in the field, or so Puella thought, anyway! What were its best properties? It was flexible, but strong, Puella supposed.
Maybe...if it could somehow deflect an attack? She eyed her spider friend's pincers nervously. She wasn't sure what shape exactly would be able to deflect an attack, but it was worth a try nevertheless. "Is it getting any harder?" she asked jokingly when the spider cleaved cleanly through her next creation.

With her little bundle of joy tiny spiders cradled gently in her arms, Mimsy listened attentively to the lecture. Any time she found herself in the position of a student, this was standard classroom procedure for her - it was only respectful, after all, to acknowledge that the instructor was clearly more knowledgeable about the subject.
But even if she had not practiced this rule, she would have been deeply interested. The spiders encouraged this tremendously, of course, but the opportunity to learn less-than-conventional methods of defense was very well timed. She rocked the bundle of tiny spiders in her arms as she thought of the bundle of human that waited for her at home, musing about the practicality of encasing him in protective webbing like spider mothers did.
Once the lecture was complete and the spider joined her at her side, she set to work preparing armor for the practice dummy, which the arachnid companion took great joy in destroying.

Creepycrawlies were not really her specialty, but Maysy enjoyed them nonetheless. She bounced contentedly up and down on the web, keeping to herself for the most part, aside from the occasional comment towards one of the eight-legged friends. The exception to her babbling was made during the time when the professor explained the instructions, because instructions were critical. One could deviate from instructions to invent something new, naturally, but base knowledge was required before it could be expanded upon.
She skipped off ahead off the spider assigned to her, opting to play with the silk for this task. Steel and leather were materials she was already familiar with, and bark was always the sort of thing that she and Svensyl created armor and playthings from when they were scarelings, so there was no need for any of that.
As her spider spun its thread, she began to loop it around the dummy, hmmming to herself as she considered the best way to do this. The ghoul nearest her seemed to have a particular advantage, being a spider herself, so Maysy gave her a truly excessive wave in greeting.
"Salutations, spiderkind! I spy sooomething snestling in your arms--or some of them!" That was a hilarious joke, so she laughed. "Tools of the trade?"

Raisuke was a man of silence. He glared until everyone seemed to have taken what they wanted the pile of steel plates, and then approached it quickly while no one else was ********. The thing was, Raisuke was a pretty short guy, considering he was a horse in his natural form. And he probably needed a lot of steel. "You," he said gruffly to a spider. It bobbed into view beside him. "How do you feel about carrying things?" he asked, taking the sight of it in. It didn't say no.
(Well, of course it couldn't really say no, but that didn't matter much to Raisuke.) He piled steel atop its back - as much as would fit without falling off - then he marched the spider over to a dummy that was also on the shorter side. What? If there was a smaller surface area to defend, it'd be easier, right? He then quickly began constructing armor.
When it was all on right - or as much as he could tell, anyway - he grabbed the remainder of his steel plates from the spider's back and placed them on the ground. "Go ahead," he told the spider, gruffly as he could manage.
It pulled the plates off frantically, as if it wanted to prove something to him.
