You make an interesting point on guardian. It depends on how that role is defined. Guardian defined is a defender, protector, or keeper. I think it is too early to know precisely which angle this "Guardian'" is being directed towards as well as HOW a "Guardian" goes about defending, protecting, or keeping. It could be a job to stay away from the front lines. Perhaps academy teachers are a type of guardian. But it could also be someone who goes on the front lines to create a barrier between civilization and the stronger Grimm.

Pyrrha's victory streak is easily coming to a close. I'm fairly confident she will be losing to Mercury. When you go lose from such a long win streak, you definitely hit a low. Especially if that loss comes when you are representing others (her team, her school, and technically her kingdom). Plus, we don't know her back story. It's possible she could face further feelings of failure from family or possibly sponsors. I don't think she needs a loss as a "guardian" to be greatly affected. Still, that doesn't prove/disprove the idea she will be the guardian. I just feel like Ozpin isn't the person to go for an obvious choice.

Also, like you say, Ruby doesn't need a title to do amazing things. She's already done some impressive stuff without one.

We'll probably just have to wait until the Coming Up Next or the actual Chapter to clear things up.
