Implying roller skates are an overly effective weapon... It's a school designed to teach people how to fight, swordsmanship is probably something like a side class. And while the article says 'Master Swordsman,' it explains he's not amazing at it.

My vote's for Marcel, because Ririi makes less sense. Beowolves are murderous animals, and while theoretically living near them would probably make fighting like them plausible, the proximity to them makes me think she would have been eaten. Also, assuming they are Grimm, they have a predisposition to child murder; taming them seems impossible. If there were classes involved, I think that they would be based more on what a Hunter/Huntress must need to know for their future rather than having a Sword training course, an Archery course, lance course, etc. Those classes were probably at schools where you were learning on picking a weapon major (possibly like Signal). Just like the DWMA from Soul Eater, Beacon might be a school where fighters with all sorts of weapons and capabilities come to further their training.

I just mean that with Marcel's skills with rollerblades as of now, why train with a sword when there was no mentioning of him picking one up in the past? It's only mentioned once on his page while his skates are on there in numerous places. He may not be a great swordsman, but if he isn't the "Master" part on the page makes it very misleading. The rollerblades themselves aren't overly effective themselves, but if he can use them in a battle, then why not? Not all weapons have to be limited to swords, spears, guns, and bows.
