On the other hand, this world has a four-strong team mentality. This is the standard training protocol for every single Huntsmen in the entire world. Even Atlas, the biggest deviator from the indended design and intent for the schools, uses this setup.

Four is a very imporant number for these people, so even if they are strongly against the idea of a new person filling out their team, I don't think they'll get too much say in it, which means that after the whole "we're on the same team, but you need to earn my trust/you can't replace the hole in our hearts, etc." thing they'll turn around and be all " welcome to the team, youve earned it, etc." It's how these things are usually done, and RWBY is rather bound by tropes, or so I've been told.
