It was the huntsmen who were not affiliated with the Council and so not sent on missions and who could have interfered with Salem's plan at Haven who were eliminated by Tyrian and Hazel. And with the death of Lionheart and the news of the attack on Haven a portion of the pro-huntsmen and teachers will surely come back to Haven.

Also it's clear that members of Team RWBY are nearly if not on the same level than Emerald and Mercury, which wasn't the case in the first volumes and at least one of the protagonists managed to take on one of Salem's lieutnants even if it was temporary and Jaune unlocked his semblance so the members of Team RWBY and JNPR are clearly progressing.

As for Vacuo, I am really curious to see the situation in the kingdomn which defenses Shade have and how the Headmaster/Headmistress is dealing with the situation after Beacon's fall, his/her relationship with Ozpin and what is his/her influence in Vacuo compared to the other headmaster's influence in their respectives kingdoms.
