Where are all the students of Haven Academy?
Haven Academy, in the city of Mistral, is on break when Qrow and Team RNJR arrive to meet Lionheart. With all the staff sent away (most, if not all, to their deaths), this supposedly explains the scarcity of literally anyone else on campus.
Still, the protagonists arrive in Mistral on a desperate search for allies, and even after Qrow’s leads turn up empty, no one even mentions Teams SSSN or ABRN or any other Haven students (not including Cinder’s posse). Despite spending over a month there, we neither see nor hear about any Haven students, not even the night before the attack.
It may be that all available huntsmen, including students, are occupied with kingdom defense against the Grimm, but the fact that no one among the protagonists even brings them up leaves this quite ambiguous. That being said, it is likely that Volume 6 will address this immediately, seeing as classes were to resume the very next day.
(Happy Mistral Monday!)
