We have confirmation from the directorsin the Directors Commentary for V1 that Jaune's semblance is 'like a force field' and is that bright flash of light when Cardin punched him. He didn't have his sword in his hand. He wasn't trying to attack or anything. He was being held off the ground and punched in the face, not even really trying to resist beyond 'you can't make me hurt Pyrrha'.

I think you are talking about Adam's semblance when you talk about absorbing energy through his sword.
