@Devil: Look, like Anon said, Beacon is a college, a Hunter college, the highest level of education and training Hunters will get. If use of Raw Dust is an "advanced level", then it's teached there. The risks? The show has blatantly shown us that they don't care at all about risks.

Ozpin catapulted about 1-2 dozens of students even if they, like Jaune, had no chance of surviving the fall in any way without help. And they weren't sent to a simple forest, but one with a giant double-snake, an oversized bird and a walking tank. People who had probably never faced real Grimm before, with some exceptions. Did Ozpin worry? Nope. Did Glynda worry? Nope.

At least in Beacon, students would easily be taught how to use Raw Dust if it was really some "advanced level". It may have risks, but they won't care. To become a Hunter you need to live with constant risks. They don't even give any support beyond classes, even if someone is being very obviously bullied.

So long story short, if use of Raw Dust was risky and taught in an advanced class, it would be taught at Beacon, definitely, no matter the risks.

As for Cinder, I already told you, anyone that can use Dust clothes can do exactly everything she did against Ruby and the CCT Guards. Unless making obsidian weapons is her Semblance, in which case trying to use them gives her away inmediately unless Ruby is just that dumb.

Recognizing the figure is impossible as well. Many women have the same/similar figure as Cinder, and ditto with her hairstyle. She and Blake have nearly the exact same eye color so her eye color isn't something unique enough to stand out. And she was using a mask so recognizing the face is no-no. As for fighting style, it's possible, but then again it's not like everyone's fighting style is 100% unique; there may be someone with the same fighting style or a similar one out there.
