And what if Jaune stole the sword...

1. He didn't know how to fight with it

2. He didn't know anything about Aura

3. He got into Beacon through fake transcripts

First, let's assume that his parents didn't let/make him go to junior combat school. He probably never touched the sword before going to Beacon. If there is some sort of ritual thats happens, maybe the sword is in some sort of dormant state, making it different from other weapons in terms of Aura augmentation. He could have stolen the sword and gone off to Beacon without doing the ritual first.
