THEORY

Ruby's semblance isn't speed. Mercury Black's semblance is speed, it's even implied in his name. Speed is just the (Wrong) name Pyrrha gave to it because she didn't know any better.

Ruby's semblance is time dilation. We aren't watching her run fast, we're watching her speed up time around her while gives the illusion of super speed.

She has no idea what her semblance is fully capable of, and simply thinks she runs fast. She'll find out what her semblance can really do in the coming volumes, and her silver eye powers are only going to enhance her abilities.

The hints at Ozpin being the time manipulator were all a red herring to distract us from Ruby being the one to do it.

Ruby is the vessel Monty intended to use for his Final Fantasy VIII inspired time shenanigans, and she's eventually going to be The Flash tier in terms of broken overpoweredness.

It will also give M&K an in-universe reason (excuse) to do a "Soft-Reboot" of the series in several more volumes to bring back fan favorite characters when interest in the show starts to wane.
