You should remember that Ruby joined Beacon whilst still functioning under the delusion that she was in training to become a paladin - saving the people from the horrible, unliving monsters. What Volume 3 and 4 taught her is that the worst monsters on Remannt wear human faces and need to be treated with just as much force to protect the innocent.

What Ruby is learning is that just because a human's aura is depleted is not a reason to break off your attack or pull your blows. Sometimes, it is just an opening to finish the matter.
