* HornAttack: Horn fencing consists of two opponents clashing their horns against each other over and over until one submits. Since none of the hybrids seem to have reinforced skulls, it causes a lot of pain and dizziness.



* RealityEnsues:
** Horn fencing consists of two opponents clashing their horns against each other over and over until one submits. Since none of the hybrids seem to have reinforced skulls, it causes a lot of pain and dizziness.
** Because the hybrids are encouraged to fight and kill each other, the class dwindles from a few dozen to six in only a couple months.
** Combat among the hybrids is almost always to the death. When they fight in official spars, they end up losing due to unfamiliarity with rules like ring outs.
** Combat spars also require both combatants to have their aura up. Since Weiss hadn't unlocked hers yet, Glynda refuses to let her fight.
** [[spoiler: Winter recognizes "Wren Slate" as Weiss almost immediately, as does Qrow with Ruby and Yang. They remember what their missing family members looked like.]]

* FromACertainPointOfView: In the past, after Raven discovered what had happened to Yang, she chose to lie to Qrow and say that she and Ruby had died because, from her perspective and for all intents and purposes, she really ''was'' dead, and trying to claim otherwise would've only hurt everyone more.
