Bringing it back, since once more everyone is coming up with cool theories from the opening...

Alternatively this is the same as the last two volumes where the opening was pretty cool and dramatic and "getting dark"-

- and then none of what was shown in the opening actually occurs, and Team RWBY and co. have a jolly fun time being teenagers and screwing around without actually getting anywhere while the villains vaguely do supposedly important stuff offscreen. Oh, and the Vytal Festival finally happens..

That's my hypothesis. :/
