2-And also if the object in motion has a mass that is less than the object it is hitting then the object in motion will be damaged. 1-Why the hell are you assuming that if X is Y then Z is also Y?

What Ren did was an Aura Technique. It does not mean at all that what Jaune did back in Vol.1 was also an Aura Technique instead of Semblance. Especially given how Ren isn't the only one who has done that, Cinder has done so as well even before getting the powers (even before they were added to the story, actually), meanwhile what Jaune did was and still is entirely unique.

Plus, trying to deny something on the basis that "no one in the series so far has a Shield-like Semblance" is just fail logic. That's no reason to believe it is impossible, no reason to believe Jaune or anyone couldn't possibly have one. You'll have to come up with a better argument.

And IIRC in one of the commentaries RT said that that was a glimpse at his Semblance.

2-But there's a big difference between "damaged" and "actually hurts". After all, a lot of people can punch other, weaker, lighter people and they won't feel any real pain from doing so like Cardin did.

Not to mention, you forgot the part of PUSH. If you get punched in the face, unless you are a true stonewall, the punch's force will push you, even if slightly. Jaune should have indeed been pushed at least somewhat by the punch, especially when comparing size and strength between him and Cardin, and yet he wasn't.
