But not the lives of humanity?

It is fairly safe to assume that there is a considerably larger number of non-combat schools that combat schools, given that there seems to be only one major top-tier school per kingdom. As large as Beacon is, compare it and its population to the size and largely non-combatant population of Vale. It's not "normal" even in Remnant for kids to know that much about weapons - not uncommon, perhaps, but hardly the norm.
