Yeah, I have a feeling that Ren will have to wait until season 2 as well. After all, I'm most excited (and I'm sure most people are as well) for more background on Weiss and her family, Adam taking a more active role, and the unveiling of Cinder's plan, just to name a few things. As much as I'd like for him (and Nora) to take more prominence, there are much more interesting things going on with the protagonists. Most of what we've been waiting for will, as your speculations suggest, be explored in this volume.

Ren will indeed have to wait. I hope he at least gets to show off his skills in the tournament!
