 * He's cheated his way into an elite combat school with no training in order to follow his dreams of being a hero like his forefathers.
 * He's sucked up his pride and accepted the offer of training from Pyrrha, and even stuck to his word when he said that he'll wear a dress if she doesn't have a date.
 * He's been the better man and offered advice to Neptune on how to talk to Weiss, despite making his own feelings for her more than clear (and hounding her about them in the process)
 * He's tried to be supportive of his teammates no matter what, even if he doesn't understand the problem. Which in and of itself can add to the problem at times (see Pyrrha and the Maiden Arc)
 * He dropped the ball on keeping an eye out for Cinder during the Fall Maiden power transfer, but only because he had no explanations given to him and he heard his best friend and partner screaming in pain. Any person with a heart would turn around to see what was wrong.
 * He's agreed to go with Ruby on a cross-kingdom journey to follow a vague lead she got from her uncle because he wants to know why Pyrrha had to die... and has succeeded in learning the reason.

1-Instead of training to become a Hunter, or at least studying to have some knowledge, like the rest of the students, he lied to his friends and everyone, and cheated his way in.

2-It took him months to even start trying to improve. Even though he knew he was a complete noob, he made no attempts to Git Gud in the slightest until after Forever Fall, where if it wasn't for Pyrrha, he would've ended up badly at the least.

3-He offered advice to Neptune. Very hipocritical advice, given his attitude towards Weiss, pestering her frequently and refusing to understand that she wasn't interested in him in any way, and kept going without a single care or thought put to Weiss's own feelings on the matter (and Pyrrha's, for that matter).
