Pretty much. The basics of fighting with a sword actually don't take long to learn. What takes the longest time is really honing those skills and being able to last in a long battle and outwit an opponent. Caesar's strength is definitely his brains and knowledge of strategy, and Leonhardt will definitely show him how to use that to his advantage.
And I would think Leonhardt would have Caesar tackle fighting monsters at least, mostly ones from Leonhardt's world since he knows the capabilities of them and what is doable. And likely he trolled Caesar at least once by having him fight a shining pom. Poms in Legend of Heroes canon are much like furfurs in Suikoden, though they can be frustrating because they steal EP used to cast arts. Shining poms are much like DQ metal slimes in that they are hard to hit and like to run away quickly, but they are cute and shiny and have little halos and look harmless.
