I like GVML, but do you really want Gradon as leader?

Who said he was going to be the leader? He can't even defeat a door peacefully (or at all?) :P

Illuminate Academy is somewhat similar to Beacon, so I am assuming the process for deciding a leader is based on leadership skills during initiation. Took that from the RWBY wiki... which means we have to question how some people became the leaders of their team :P

For reserves, I have no clue on considering the circumstance certain characters and npcs are in.
