I'm just suprised Coco could one-shot a deathstalker - one that a shot from Ruby's undoubtably more powerful sniper would've bounced off. Must have something to do with "weapons acting as a conduit for aura" or whatever Pyrrha said.

So, as you get older and you train your aura more, your weapons become more powerful.

I feel like Adam showed up unnanounced. As in, he came to them. Because I don't feel like they just wouldn't mention him untill now.
