However if they were just street rats how did they get their weaponry...also I could have sworn Nora once said they graduated together at Signal but I may be wrong...also are we really going to ignore the Salem thing still? That fire place near Mistral was always a curiosity. Though I have a feeling if Salem's location was so well known, the Huntsmen would know about it and send whatever military and Huntsment they had at it until the Grimm were dead. Unless it's too dangerous.

As for Ren and Nora, that is a fair point (unless smithing weapons in Remnant is ludicrisly easy with Dust). Nora's feelings for Ren probably started shortly before graduating. Ren, I believe, is either conscious of Nora's feelings, or he has feelings and believes Nora's friendzoning him.
