He's not being brave (acting justly despite the fear), he's being even more cowardly than we thought, morally and primally. He's actively undermining Ozpin's fight with Salem.

He's the XCOM rookie who panics and proceeds to throw a grenade at his own squadmates, killing them or setting them up to be killed while he hides. I'm not saying he is being brave right now. The Cowardly Lion was indeed quite cowardly, but he had the bravery inside him all along. A similar thing is done with Ironwood as we do get a bit of an impression that he is heartless, but we saw the softer side of him last Volume. What I am getting at is that maybe one of his students being in danger is the thing that would make him stand up to Salem. He may be acting cowardly now as he is trying to spare the students. If they are put at risk we could see him change. I only dispute it because, if that occurs, Leo has a lot to answer for, something Merry might not realize. The Cowardly Lion never actively helped the Witch, Leo has.
