It's very common in Anime that a 400 years villain who is stupidly powerful is beaten by a 16 year old high school student who just happens to be a prodigy.

Then again, this feels more like a cartoon when it comes to the fight. In anime, we get flashbacks and thoughts that can last a whole episode (16-26 minutes length) from the fighters but in this series, it's just watching bad guys getting ass-kicked by young ladies.

Have you considered the possibilty of Adam being a runaway? It's possible that Adam was in his third year at Beacon or another combat school before getting kicked out or leaving for some reason and he is now a 25 year old rogue hunter who improved the abilities that he didn't fully learned at his school.
