Is no one running background checks at Beacon? Emerald and Mercury here are apparently part of some evil organization, but they can sign up as students to take part in the tournament. I'm also assuming that the tournament is only for students as Glynda mentions other students arriving soon to compete. But this just baffles me that everyone is so relaxed about the number of people that have gotten into places so easily; Jaune, Blake, and now Emerald and Mercury.

Also as far as the Emerald and Ruby thing goes, I wonder if Ruby will try to be friends with her and she will eventually warm up to her and switch sides, but I don't see that actually happening as Emerald seems to be Weiss' rival.
