I'd like to presume that the Food Fight scene ran on the sliding scale of silliness vs seriousness and leaned on the silliness side.

As such, it is not meant to be taken seriously. We only got a demonstration of what could be a real battle against RWBY and JNPR.

I presume that they didn't get hurt badly because they're now stronger than they were since the first semester and as such, are capable of pulling off more crazy feats, and surviving stronger blows. By this point, the Emerald Forest Grimms should be a piece of cake for them.

Though this has the terrible effect of requiring Monty to top himself every semester of Beacon to show that the teams are still getting stronger.

I wonder how Volume 2 will show the Grimm as a threat at this point though...
