Ok, you convinced me. I just wanted to point out the possibility that Sun may be a second year student. We may have seen some of them already but apart from Team RWBY, JNPR & CRDL the only other characters we know are: Sun, Penny & Velvet. One of them has to be the second year student they were talking.

Yes, Cardin is one of those disposable characters, the thing is: "Miles & Kerry wouldn't have that" -Monty. If it was up to Monty, it's possible that Team CRDL remains in the series as background characters with no development. But since they are in the opening and had even more time screen than the other teams, they will have a role to play in this volume. And we only have 6 teams, unless they suddenly introduce us another 14 teams since this is a tournament and I doubt we only get to see those 6 teams fighting unless the tournament is a 1 vs 1 fight round.
