The moment I realized that Blake wasn't there, I immediately jumped to this theory:

The first year students are split into two groups.

The group that met up on that hill with the launch pads is Group 1. Like Ozpin said, they have to fight their way through the forest, take a relic, and protect it at all costs.

Group 2 is currently waiting, in hiding, in the forest, having already been given their instructions by Ozpin. Their instructions are to keep Group 1 from taking the relics at all costs. Maybe they're assigned to protect specific relics, and if someone takes their relic, they have to chase them down and try to take it back.
