It might fit into Volume 2 if it focusses on the Vytal Festival - I'd like for Ruby to help Jaune discover the hidden secrets in his hand-me-down weapon (which, he admits, he doesn't know that much about). Ruby, being a weapons dork, literally knows chapter and verse about Crocea Mors (it turns out to be a mass-produced officer's weapon from the time of the Human-Faunus War).

The ultimate point of the episode is it turns out that Ruby suspected that Jaune had got into Beacon with less-than-honest means but had decided not to say anything because she was fairly certain he was sincere in wanting to be a Hunter. It wasn't as if she was technically 'ready' by the book herself. It turns into a little friend-bonding between them and acts as a hook for when Jaune first uses his weapon's Hidden Wave Motion Gun mode later on in the season.
