They didn't have to learn jack ****.

And this is the problem when you have only seen the first episode when it's a two-parter... Lionoh was pretty pissed at the boy for helping them out so easily and the point of the second episode was that Takaharu realized both his own strength and weaknesses and those of his team members. He had to realize of how their team structure works and the boy repaired the sword so that Takaharu could watch the others fight and come to those conclusions. Ultimately, Takaharu got the upgrade for realizing all of this and giving Lionoh a reason to join them.
Yes, it was not a lesson for the full team, but it was apparently never intended as such.
