Oh, aren't you the same Wikia contributor that commented on the Weiss's speed thread? Welcome. Fancy seeing you there.You make an important point here. I don't think the guards helped her without the Schnee company's full agreement (she doesn't seem to be close to them, and I don't think they would risk getting fired). At some point, Weiss's parents had to agree with Weiss becoming a huntress, weither they forced it upon her, or they reluctantly accepted.

As 13th madman said, he appears in the Storyboard Opening, watching Weiss training. He can either appear as the evil man forcing his daughter to train and observing her, or he had nothing to do with it and she was secretly training, except he found out. There are probably other theories, but what I mean is, this opening doesn't necessarily mean he is forcing her to train, she might also be unaware of the fact he knows about her training. (I'm not sure I'm clear, I'm sorry) Either way, he knows, and he agreed at some point.

Also, I'd like to point out the facial expressions the characters make during Ozpin's speech (episode 3). When he says "you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people", Yang is smiling, Ruby looks excited and Weiss seems... sad? I'll add a picture so you can see which scene I'm referring to. This may be a detail, but I still find it important, as she appears to be the only one who is not happy when heard about the job of a huntress. Also, this is not due to her grumpy personality; she has smiled plenty of times in the show.
