I, personally, think he'll try to save Pyrrha, maybe get a few grunt-level ones but get in over his head. Then, just as one of them is about to bite his head off, his aura triggers and interacts with his shield generating a massive force blast that tuns the monster about to eat him (maybe the big 'Alpha' Beowolf) into giblets. That will be our first clue of his hidden abilities, the ones that Ozpin has always known about but wanted Glynda to see for herself.
