As far as Team RWBY and Team JNRP go in their relation to the White Fang, I never said JNPR should care. I said that by this time the second semester has started, meaning homework, exams, papers, or just basic combat training. However all of them appear to be sleeping, which isn't giving the best impression of our heroes, especially since the first two episodes of this volume have shown that Blake is right about them not waiting around for them to graduate. Blake withholding information on the other hand makes her look more suspicious and Ozpin may see her as a possible spy if he knows she is a White Fang member (former obviously, but Ozpin may not know or believe this).

I say Ozpin is downplaying things because despite him claiming to have everything under control, Roman has almost gone unchallenged despite it being months from his robbery at From Dust Till Dawn. His own statements if true show that his string of robberies are causing a certain level of chaos in the city and things will only get worse from here. Even Blake and Sun managed to figure out his target, but Ozpin's actual Hunters were nowhere to be seen. Ironwood isn't looking to fight a war, but is prepared in the event that something happens and is ready to defend himself instead of starting a fight. Qrow also gave them information which may have been a warning, making his reaction somewhat justified.

As far as Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald, Monty said in an interview that they aren't really students from Haven and are only wearing the uniforms (or something along those lines; either way they aren't real students). If Beacon is getting a bunch of exchange students for the festival, it should be their job to contact the other school for records, transcripts, or even a quick e-mail to say Student So-and-So arrived safely. Beacon should also have a type of checklist from the other schools saying which students are arriving, so when Beacon finds out they have three extras, certain steps should be taken. I mean if Beacon had thousands of exchange students, I could see it being a problem. So far however, we know of 5 (2 if Mercury, Emerald, and Cinder aren't counted as they are fake students). The only way this would happen would be if there was no communication between schools at all.
