Then there is the heavy hint that Qrow gave that Cinder... well, that she's a threat on a scale that they can't imagine.

Oh, and cyber security in Vale and Atlas sucks in a big way. Given Atlas's dependency on technology for maintaining its civilisation, that's a bad thing.

So... Who wants to bet that Mercury and Emmy are going to cream Coco and Yasuhashi, if not come close to outright killing them? Seeing as I don't know where else to post this, for anyone not 100% sure that Ironwood's shit got hacked by being in contact with Ozpin's desk... https://gyazo.com/5484f722cb0840e9543f1eeb8c7e560e

Cinder has to be very confident in Mercury and Emeralds abilities to put them up against CFVY, so either actually winning the tournament isn't part of the plan and its just part of the cover, or Mercury and Emerald turn out to be fighting prodigies. Which wouldn't be too far from the truth; the only person who's ever given Pyyrah; probably the best fighter attending beacon, an even fight is Mercury himself. I feel like CFVY will put up a fair fight, but Merc and Em won't exactly be winning by the skin of their teeth.
