That way we'd have them split up, and can see them maybe reform for school or for some event that's brought up. Since this is a Speculation thread, do you think the school will still be standing / still be in session by the end of this Volume? I mean, shit seems to be going down. It would be hard to imagine things going back to how they were and everyone attending classes again.

I think Vale will be around and Beacon for the most part intact. I could definitely see damage being placed on it, but the school won't close. I don't see the volume ending with the fight finished. So I think we get exposition on changes and damages in Vale/Beacon during the start of Volume 4. I do think we will see Ozpin removed from his position by the council as a scapegoat for the attack.

Vale won't fall. We may not know what threat level 9 is, but people were told to seek shelter as opposed to run. Which suggests Vale can repel a level 9. Add in an extra army from Atlas and it should be something that definitely can be repelled. However, I expect a large deal of damage, and many civilian/combatant deaths. Especially with Roman blowing a hole on the defensive perimeter, and Adam flying Grimm into Beacon.
