They may be being stored somewhere at the side of the room, or perhaps she'll be given a weapon to fight with, but in any case I'm pretty sure she doesn't have it right at the moment. I maintain that the objective of Professor Port's 'lesson' is to teach that there is more to beating a Grimm than a flashy Dust-enhanced weapon.

I'm wondering if he's going to let Weiss get chased around the room a few times then he's going to take out the Boarbatust by hitting it in a nerve cluster with a walking stick. Then he'll tell the students that's how me managed to get old enough to become a teacher. If they're smart and listen to him, then maybe, just maybe, they'll do the same.

Ruby is a wild-card as she's crazy enough, brave enough and noble enough that she might intervene, armed or no, to protect her friend. The lesson would still work, it's just that Port will save both of them rather than just one...

Unless Ruby's hidden über comes out in the moment of potentially life-threatening stress.
