Most of the students walk around in combat clothes and with their weapons ready. The only times when students seem to go around unarmed is when in the school's uniform. In the opening, and in the in-progress screenshots, Pyrrha is in her combat clothes.

The King Taijitu are two-headed snakes, so Ren would not have been able to defeat "three" without taking out six heads. If you watch when the white part appears, you'll see the black part move again just after Ren leaps off. It was "down but not out." We saw three heads: two black and one white, assuming all King Taiju have two heads, then there was one more white head we didn't get to see.

Ren killed the first head stabbing it with the axes of Storm Flower, the body shaking after that doesn't mean anything, snakes sometimes bite, even after the head has been cut off, it's a characteristic of the nervous system of reptilians. Then Ren blasted with his aura another black head which it's a certain kill. Then, by the time the camera returns to Ren, we see the White head is also dead.

Even assuming it was only one Black Head and that the stab of the axes (that should have destroyed the brain) wasn't fatal for that head, Ren still defeated almost bare handed a high level Grimm, where team CDLR run at the mere sight of an Ursa.

As for Nora, ok, lets assume Yang just spent some minutes sitting over the roof of the school unconscious and wasn't blasted into space (which I don't buy given the speed at which she was shot up and then fell down), Nora is still shorter than most of team CDLR, has given other signs of being fairly physically strong and has a long ranged weapon.
