You're right about Yang's speech. I had intended to convey that fact in my original comment. My apologies if it wasn't very clear.

Anyway, the reason Blake becomes so dangerously tired halfway through this volume is that she's the only one in Team RWBY who's actually working to stop the White Fang. If the others weren't so useless at helping, she wouldn't have had to have exerted herself so much (but, as I said, the whole thing could have been avoided if they'd just told a figure of authority about what the White Fang were plotting).

Oh, and @AWC 173, that's actually a really good analogy. Perhaps an excuse for the ridiculous decision undertaken by Team RWBY could be that they're really just still kids, proud of their achievements in monster-fighting thus far and willing to take on big shots (Torchwick and the White Fang). Of course, even then it's still bad writing, since Team RWBY haven't really suffered any repercussions from it.
