This is the full paragraph Meanwhile, we haven't seen Jaune conjure a barrier around himself.

And it's entirely possible that Jaune's Semblance could essentially be a Reflect spell, where the damage gets bounced back on his attacker, hence Cardin's hand being in pain. The pain he would've inflicted on Jaune got bounced back to himself. Though, this theory doesn't have a very strong standing when we've only seen one single instance of Jaune's Semblance.
