Signal. Academy. Years. Of. Training. I don't appreciate it when people ignore the obvious. The cadets are not cadets anymore, and Ruby, who skipped two years ahead of anyone, had Beowolf fighting experience. And this is a test under a controlled environment, where there are hidden instructors monitoring their performance (even though they won't help, pretty sure if someone's about to die they will, you know, STEP IN), ''and the lowest, easiest form of Beowolves ever. You are not going to argue with me that the pack of Beowolves Weiss' about to fight is a bunch of middle level bosses, and you are not ''going to argue with me that they would put a super duper level boss that none of the students absolutely could handle in the area. At most a high level one that required teamwork to break down.

If they can't handle this? If they can't even handle these simple packs of Beowolves after years of training in Signal Academy (which graduation test would very likely be the same as this initiation test, like you know, fight a real bunch of Beowolves ffs), you can bet my ass that Ozpin will fail that student kick them out of Beacon, simply because they're just plain incompetent.
