I just... I have this growing problem with Pyrrha beating all of CRDL single-handedly. Sure, it's badass. Sure, we all want to see it. And sure, they really deserve it.

But as far as we know, no member of that team faked their transcripts. They're all at least qualified, and hell, they even finished the initation far before RWBY and JNPR did (and still would've, even if those teams hadn't fought the Nevermore and Deathstalker).

We all know that Pyrrha's awesome, but again, she was blowing through CRDL in the opening like Yang blew through Junior's henchmen in her trailer... thing is, CRDL are hunters (in training, at least), not random mooks.

I look at it like this - If three of my friends and I decided to gang up and fight the strongest person we know (Not saying that we would), all at once, we would win. There's no reason why that shouldn't be the case here. CRDL are at least trained, and I refuse to believe that the skill gap between them and Pyrrha is so large that she's still a better fighter than all of them combined. That's something I expect from Ozpin. Not a student.

I'm just concerned that CRDL is going to be Worfed. We've been told that they're good, with the whole getting-accepted-into-a-world-class-academy thing, and Cardins flawless victory vs Jaune (During which, he effortlessly overpowered Jaune numerous times, even after Jaune unlocked his aura and presumably got the whole super-strength benefit).

We're being shown the opposite... and CRDL are really removed as effective villians and bullies if Pyrrha takes no effort and downs them all at once. They just spent too long on the Bully arc in Volume 1 to nullify it here in Volume 2.
