Ironwood is clearly taking things seriously.

Yang's Semblance is Feeding the Fire? What's interesting is I saw no sign of pyrokinesis. Huh.

I'm a quite worried about the state of the Atlas's military-industrial complex: Somewhere along the way, someone screwed up. Whether in the RFP, which points to the military doctrine being suspect, the budget, which points to the SDC's leadership, the design itself, which points to the engineers, or the quality control, which points to the manufacturer. This isn't the first time this has happened, either. No battlefield weapon should fall to college freshmen. Schools could simply be referring to an educational system that continues to perpetuate the idea of faunus as lesser beings. I highlight that Ozpin felt the need to point out he was proud of accepting faunus in his academy, and with faunus reclaiming civil rights, it is possible some schools do not accept them or place them in separated classrooms from human students. Oobleck's approach to the history class when talking about the Faunus Rights Revolution might not be the standard.

There was a bit of fire as Yang started to run in circles to get ready to give her final punch to the Paladin.

Well, Ruby did say Yang ability to give back the hits she took made her special. Note that the other attacks the Paladin received didn't do it much.
