She'll disabuse him of the notion by being quite capable of protecting herself. However, I think he has a deep-seated need to be the noble knight of chivalry. but doesnt yet have the guts to pull it off. Key word: yet. My interpretation is that Jaune is the "People's Hero" of RWBY. While team RWBY are all extremely skilled badasses with elaborate weapons, Jaune is just an average guy with a sword and shield. Eventually, he grows as a character and a fighter to become very strong. The People's Hero is kind of a western concept, though, so it may not show up in RWBY.
