I don't see why they would force an entire team to retake it when they weren't even a team then; it's not the entire teams fault someone died during Initiation, it's the individual and maybe their partner's fault. In this case, I think Someone's suggestions would suit much better than re-running the entire Initiation for like, two potential students.

The remaining students team up. Even if they don't have enough members to make a 4-person Team. They study, they train, go on missions, etc. The fact that they aren't a "complete" team changes nothing beyond what they would be expected to be able to handle.

Option 6: True Merciless option.

They fail the Initiation.

Students are expected to not just pair up, but work as a group, a squad, a team. If a Team ends up with one of their members dying in the very Initiation, what does that say about their skill and ability to work with others? As he said at the end of his post;

Academies aren't there to make Mediocre people Good. That's what Combat Schools are for. Academies are there to make Good people Great. If you are not Good, you don't yet have what it takes. Taking time out of the very few professors they have when those professors are supposed to be teaching/running a school just so they can run Initiation for two students is ridiculous.
