It's possible that Jaune's Semblance could be essentially a reflect spell, in which case, I can see the Nuckelavee moving to deliver a powerful blow to either Jaune or someone else, leading to Jaune accidentally activating his Semblance and reflecting the damage back at the Nuckelavee.

Ooh, here's an interesting idea: It tries to hit Qrow, but Jaune jumps in the way and accidentally activates his Semblance.

I'd actually kinda like it if his Semblance is revealed from him defending someone else rather than himself.
