Volume 6 seems to have three timelines: The one of the heroes hapening 2 weeks after V5, Cinder and Neo's that happened about a month or was it two after V5 and then there is the one for those in Salem's realm that is mostly unclear. Probably starts soon after the attack and Watts&Tyrian might have already left to Atlas at the time the heroes leavo to Argus.

2. Ruby's age is a bit of a question mark at the moment. We know that she was 15 at the year she started Beacon, but not if Beacon chooses its student's based on their birth year or their age at the first day of school. We also don't know if Beacon's first semester starts at Fall (like in most Western countries) or at Spring (countries like Japan).

So "in best case scenario" where Beacon starts at Fall and they usually take in students who have already turned 17 at the beginning of the school year, Ruby could have been couple months away from turning 16. In worst case scenario, she was still technically 14 (going to turn 15 later that year) when she started Beacon....

So lets that V1 started at fall of year 1 (Ruby is about to turn 15) and the attack on Beacon took place at the next spring (year 2). RNJR left to Mistral at early winter of year 2, meaning Ruby was already 16 or soon turning 16 (debending how warm climate Vale has) at this point. The attack on Heaven happened about 6-8 monts after that, placing it at summer or early fall of year 3. And with this logic Ruby is going to turn 17 during the next couple months. We had staff confirmation Ruby was 15 in the first few episodes or during the Trailers, that means she was never 14 as she joined Beacon, but before she got there.
