I just thought of something.

What if the Arcs, not only Jaune, but his entire family, did not know about stuff like Aura and Semblance? It would make sense as to how they were so carefree at letting him go on his own without training. I mean, if they DID know that Jaune lacked the very, very, veeeeeery crucial requirement of a Huntsman's job, they wouldn't let clueless Jauney out of the house in the first place, let alone, NOT train him.

Think about it. They might be a "family with ancestry of warriors", but that was 2 to 3 generations BEFORE Jaune. If someone like Arc Senior's pops or grandpappy didn't like the idea of training his kids to fight in wars, his best solution would be to make sure they didn't have anything to contribute in a fight in the first place.

No training = wimp kids that only know how to run = no Arc in the army

Pretty much an information censor on the whole clan but it's possible. I mean, Pyrrha (God rest her soul) is considered a highly skilled combatant and she treats Aura and Semblance to be the norm. Remember when she asked him "Why didn't you use your Aura?". It's considered that having activated it is par for the course of a Hunter trainee. Maybe she didn't react badly to it since some don't unlock it for reasons, but people like that would be well-trained in some way to compensate the lack of Aura.

Jaune, on the other hand, did not know this piece of common sense. So yeah... pretty heavy info censor there. I wonder what jackass thought it was a good idea to NOT train their kid before letting him take a reeeeally dangerous training regimen. Then again, it may not be a jackass, but rather, a clueless family.
