Since it didn't happen, I suppose they are REALLY students from Haven.

2 - Why are everyone using real medicinal knowledge to estimate how bad the injury of Merc is ? Remember that Aura will help the healing process (yes, he's at zero now but it will resplenish quicly) and there might be people with healing Semblance in medical teams. For what we know. 1. No one knows and recognizes every single student at school because, for the most part, no one pays attention to every single person they pass by in the hallway. Everyone's too focused on their friends, their schoolwork, and their teachers. Some people don't even pay attention to the majority of the other students in the same classes as them. Class clowns get recognized because they make themselves stand out from everyone else in the room, but a lot of students stay quiet or only talk quietly to their friends.

The fact is, no one from or at Haven is going to point to Cinder's team and yell "Wait a minute, they're not actually from Haven!"

I doubt Team RWBY can recognize every single Beacon student, even if the students they're supposed to look at are supposedly fellow first-years. They only recognize the students they actually pay attention to and interact with.

The absolute vast majority of the students in every single class I had in high school were nothing but nameless background characters, to me. If you had one of them walk up to me, I wouldn't know we went to high school together because we didn't pay attention to each other, we didn't know each other, we never interacted, we never even looked at each other, we didn't give a damn.

2. We don't actually know for sure if Aura always heals. We've seen Jaune's Aura heal a scratch on his face, yeah, but you remember what Pyrrha's reaction to that was? "You have a lot of it." So, we have no idea if healing is something that Aura always does or if it's something that only happens with exceptionally powerful/plentiful Aura.

Even if they do have the means to heal Merc more quickly than we could heal broken bones, I doubt it's gonna be some kind of Harry Potter thing where you can wave a stick at it and poof it's fixed. He's still gonna be out of comission for a fair amount of time if his kneecap is broken. If not... prepare for people to be very angry. A lot of us want there to be some actual possibility of danger for the characters, so the whole about "The Grimm are a dangerous force of darkness trying to destroy mankind, oooh so scary and dangerouuuus" won't be all talk.
