But a fight with the Ursa doesn't make up for him faking his way into Beacon, which was (IMO) the low point of that arc. I understand the focus was how he wasn't standing up for himself and the fight with the Ursa kind of boosted his confidence, but he still faked his way into Beacon. Then after getting in, he didn't seem to take school seriously and feels he can manage on his own, despite not doing anything to improve himself. He wants to be a hero without doing any of the work required. I would be much more impressed if instead of fighting an Ursa, he stood up to Cardin, marched into Ozpin's office, and admitted he faked his way into the school.
