User blog comment:Hidden Scorpius XI/My impressions on "The Next Step" (RWBY, V4-E1)/@comment-25396609-20161023230641

"Whoah, that leap Nora took was impressive, and with no recoil helping her up... now that I think about it, Ruby hasn't using much of CR's recoil for her leaps. When did she become so agile? Probably another inconsistency. "

Not an inconsistency, they've been training and fighting in the field for 6-8 months.

If Qrow was being literal saying every day out in the field is worth a week in Beacon, that's 3.5 - 4.6 years worth of time at Beacon.

(Yes, I know he wasn't being literal, but they have still had enough field experience by this point to be at least equivalent to a much higher level team of students)
