Jun shrugged at the comment about rainbows and bunny rabbits. "What's there to say about them besides bunny rabbits are cute as hell and I like to wear rainbow themed clothes during Pride Month." The guy continued to move and dodge, even getting out of the way of his rebound lightning bolt. Apparently having learned to be weary of his electrical attacks rebounding after that first one. Keni hid into some pipes on a lower level, a dip in the ground. Amused, Jun started to walk slowly over. If all that there was there were metal pipes, just surrounding himself in electricity would allow him to get a hit in. Standing at the edge, he saw movement. Turning to face it, Keni had moved over to where he had caused that explosion from his Plasma Wave. Then he tried to tease him. Or something.
"I could...though that would be a bit of a cheap win, don't you think? You damn near reset my fire half's limit. And I'm still not even close to my electrical's half's. Dodge all you like, you'd just end up wearing yourself out. Also, pretty bold words considering I've hit you more than you've hit me." He sent ten fire balls at the lad, not necessarily aiming at Keni. Denting and even breaking three of the pipes around the guy, assuming he didn't use his wind on them.
Hopping down in the same area, he moved forward. If the guy had wanted to fight the blond in close, then he should have just said so. He stalked forward...letting himself get as vulnerable as possible to draw out the silver haired brat. From then, training will tell.

"I could...though that would be a bit of a cheap win, don't you think? You damn near reset my fire half's limit. And I'm still not even close to my electrical's half's. Dodge all you like, you'd just end up wearing yourself out. Also, pretty bold words considering I've hit you more than you've hit me."
As Jun made his warranted comments, a carefree and battle ready smile dawned brightly on Keni's face. Now as much as Jun talked, lectured, and or attempted to belittle him, the young air user was completely unaffected. Seeing as for a good chunk of this battle Keni has been on cloud nine, and nothing was going to be able to pull him down. First the orange hair third year, and now Jun, yes for the first time in who knows how long Keni was being pushed in a way he'd never been pushed before, and all because he came to U.A. For here he wasn't the son of Jetstream, or a Jackson Legacy, he was just a silver haired first year who's personality and drive rubbed some people the wrong way. But even that excited Keni, because if him being him pushed and or annoyed people to the lengths that it did Jun then in the air bender's book he's doing something right. This was it, this was the fight Keni needed to urge him into accepting the fact that he needed to train and work his quirk if he wanted to get stronger. Thus far the intricate ways he applies his quirk and his smarts was always enough for him to get by on and was why he was called a prodigy. Though it didn't help when people found out who his mother and grandfather were. But in this moment Keni was free, and unburdened by the weight he felt being a Jackson Legacy. Keni had made the right choice in coming to U.A.
Unknown to Keni in this state of excitement and bliss, the air immediately around his body had once again began to swirl around the oblivious 1-B student. Only this time it was far more visible to both Jun and Jin. Whether Jun would ever know how much he influenced Keni during this match would be anyone's guess. Especially seeing as the air bender himself didn't seem completely aware of just how much Jun's display of strength and conviction was fueling him and helping him grow. The second Jun began launching his fire balls Keni instinctually began evading them with a few backflips and side steps. That of course was until the silver haired first year saw Jun began to move towards him.
With an enthusiastic smile Keni quickly darted towards the blonde 1-A student. Keni kept both his arms stretched out behind him as he took towards Jun in a more aerodynamic running form. All this time the young air wielder was easily leaping over pipes and evading fireballs. Still unaware of the air current that was circling him, Keni also didn't realize he was moving faster than he'd originally intended. Keni was in the zone, and all that matter was getting to Jun and taking on who he now considered to be one of the strongest first years at UA and who he now deemed as a rival. With a storm in his eyes and a fire in his belly Keni charged on forward towards Jun with new found life, however fleeting it may be. "You might have gotten more hits on me Jun , but you don't look any better than I do! Don't underestimate me!" shouted a happy and overly ecstatic Keni. In this moment both Jun and Jin would see the storm brewing in Keni's eyes, for this was not the same kid they met at the start of the fight. This version of Keni had far more drive and passion in his eyes and words than before. Plus Jin would have certainly seen the progression the air bender had been making in terms of his quirk throughout the entire fight. As Keni drew closer to Jun the Fiery blonde would feel the sudden shift in the air which would only grow in intensity as Keni drew nearer.

As expected, Keni dodged his attacks, and moved to meet him. Jun saw that he was gathering air around him, consciously or not. This was a guy that thrived on fighting strong opponents. The blond shook his head. He never understood these types. There's been few fights that he enjoyed, but this wasn't one of them. Hyousuke and his brother were definitely ones that he liked. But at the white haired boy's words, his eyes visibly turned darker, and he scowled in anger. "Underestimate you? I wouldn't have used all my big moves against you if I was doing that!"
Jin half expected the blond to rush in and meet the other boy in a rash decision. But Jun didn't. Instead, he braced himself, and held out both hands. Jin immediately knew that the boy intended to blast with flamethrowers. Despite his anger, he thought clearly on how best to win. Things didn't go as he had hoped, but he was going to use his opponent's own moves against him. Keni, for his part, met Jin's expectations. The boy thrived in a fight. Jun wasn't that kind of kid, and paid closer attention to the hole in the blond's costume. Part of the scar. He couldn't help but think that maybe there was a reason he didn't enjoy a good fight. Or perhaps it was only against specific people.
Still, it came down to timing. Too early, and Keni could dodge it and use his better mobility to get close. Though if that was what Jun was hoping for in the first place, then perhaps the kid still had some tricks up close besides surrounding himself in electricity. Something he wondered if Keni forgot about. Too late, and the kid will get caught up in his own explosion.
Jun waited. The boy was in his range now. Just a little closer...there! The blond fired twin bursts of flames. At the resulting explosion, he did slide back twenty feet, and covered his face, but the blond had timed it right. Now it was just a matter of waiting to see what happened.

As Keni kept charging forward the air around him just continued to swirl around, growing in intensity as the the first year was so lost in his need to get to Jun. As he drew nearer, the A1 student would fire back a comment in response to Keni's last statement about underestimating him.
"Underestimate you? I wouldn't have used all my big moves against you if I was doing that!"
Those words penetrated through Keni deeper and further than anything else the blonde first year had said to him up until now. For though Keni was a bit headstrong and a lot to handle, he came into UA feeling less than. And it is because of that feeling that he fights so hard, because he wants nothing more than to be a hero. So with that in mind he pushes himself and others in hopes that it will help him become the best he can be. His attitude and demeanor isn't due to some oversized ego , it's due to the fear he has of never being good enough. Which is why he digs deep and no matter what will always give everything he has and more to accomplish the goal ahead.
Now only a few feet away Keni suddenly finds himself under attack from a powerful twin flame attack. In that moment the smirk on the air user's face would vanish and be replaced with a look of shock and concern. As Keni's eyes widened he'd find himself suddenly in a slight bit of panic. Oh no I messed up, I got so hyped and excited that I stopped planning, I stopped thinking about my next move and just rushed in head first. Is this it, is this how the fight ends? As that last thought passed through his mind Keni would find himself thinking back on the rest of the conversation he had with his mother.
"What do you want from me huh? I can't use my quirk without a medium so just back off."
"I want you to be better, I want you to be happy. You think I want to be this parent, you're making me this parent Keni. I see the fear and burden you walk around with because you're unable to use your quirk without a medium. Sure you've found a way around it, and I'll admit watching you incorporate the freeness and adaptability of your element into your fighting style was amazing. But it's not going to be enough for where your going or where you want to end up. Yes air is free and interchangeable but it's also powerful and deadly, and until you're able to use your quirk without the need of a medium and with a wider range of offensive attacks you're going to run into roadblocks. What are you going to do when you run into an opponent that won't let you get close and can constantly over power you? Look I know you can do this because I've seen you do it before. Whenever you get completely drawn into a fight you end up giving up control. When your thrill for the fight overcomes you're logic or you're need to win something happens to you. It's like everything you've been carrying and putting on to yourself just vanishes, and all that's left is the thrill of the moment. For whatever reason it's then that you're one with your quirk. It's then that you go plus ultra. So if you're serious about wanting to get to the next level then let everything go Keni. The only thing stopping you is you. So let go, just let go."
In that moment Keni finally understood what his mother was saying. Because at that moment he flashed back to the cyclone prison he made earlier during the fight. He didn't know that he could do it and worst by his standards he shouldn't have been able to. But in that moment he knew what he wanted to do and he made it happen. "I get it." uttered Keni to himself. With this new sense of understanding and drive Keni decided that if he was going to counter Jun's powerful attack then he'd have to risk it all. So in that moment the shock and panic that once dawned on the airbender's face suddenly was replaced with a look of determination and drive. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Now back in the moment Keni could feel the air circling him, as well as the air current he was producing behind of him and so with a crazy kamikaze idea in mind Keni ventured further as he would attempt to go plus ultra at least one more time. Dropping his Bo staff Keni then kicked his speed into to overdrive, attempting to make as much air flow behind of him as possible. I get it now mom, and I have Jun to thank for this. He's amazing, and with this fight alone he's made me want to try the impossible. He's giving me everything he's got and so I must do the same. I'm not where you are quite yet Jun, but thanks to you I believe I 'm on my way.
As Keni put everything he had into his running he'd be pushing himself forward using the back draft air current, all while drawing the air around his body with him. Then just a feet away from making impact with Jun's flames. Keni would compress air just in front of his right foot as to put the brakes on his running. Though the momentum would cause him to continually slide forward a bit. And with his arms still extended out behind him Keni would suddenly and forcefully swing them out in front of him making an x shape as they reached stretched out in front of his body. Upon bringing his arms forward in that motion all the air Keni had gathered added with the air stream he had accumulated in that run would suddenly and violently burst forth. As the air made contact with Jun's flames the two would merge and the sight of the two elements coming together as one was such a sight a to see. And for a split second Keni could see through them and his gaze would fall upon Jun, and in that moment Keni would say "Thank you." though inaudible if Jun was watching Keni he'd be able to make out the words. Then in a combustive surge of power a huge explosion would erupt shaking the surrounding area and destroying countless pipes caught in the impact.
As the concussive force blew back, Keni was sent flying backwards where he ended up crashing through several pipes before his momentum was finally stopped by a long heavy duty pipeline. As he lied their unable to move, and unable to feel his body Keni would cough up blood before finally passing out with a smile on his face. I lost, but I've learned so much. I made the right choice, coming to UA.

Jin checked on Keni. The boy was out cold. Jun stood there, a little confused why the boy had thanked him. Nonetheless, the blond was the winner here. All them went to the infirmary to get checked out and their wounds healed. Some time later, Jun would still be there, waiting for Keni to wake up. When the guy did, Jun would fidget in his seat, in his normal school clothes now. After a minute or two, he spoke. "I need to apologize...I was forcing my beliefs down your throat. Though I don't wholly disagree with you. There's all kinds of reasons for why we all came here. I shouldn't be forcing my own on others. I may not like you, but I will give my respect to you like I do to others. So...yeah...sorry..." Getting up, he moved to the door, though stopped just short of it. Turning around with his head tilted cutely, he asked another question. "Why...did you thank me? I wasn't doing anything special..."
After hearing the answer, he would nod, and leave quietly.

Finally waking up Keni expels a heavy grown before finally opening his eyes. At first sight the first year is met with a bit of pain in his eyes as all he sees white. After a few minutes his eyes finally readjusts and he's met with an unexpected sight. "Jun? What are you still doing here?" asked Keni as he slowly began to prop himself. In the midst of propping himself up Keni instantly takes notice of the of the hot headed blonde as he nervously fidgets in his chair. Upon the end of Jun's apology speech Keni would let out a light chuckle before grabbing his ribs out of pain. "You may not like me but I like you, sure our views on what matters most about being a hero differs. But that's just how it goes, I mean if we want to get all technical about it we both have separate halves of the same on piece. And one doesn't really work without the other. However if you truly believe that your way is the best way to go about being a hero than show me with your actions, not your words. Show me what it is your stand for, and show me the results of your belief. In the end we'll just have to see who's belief actually wins out, yours or mine.And though you may not want to admit it, you and me are pretty similar when it comes to fighting. Especially when were in the zone, and don't worry. I won't hold that laser attack of yours against you." smiled Keni as he knew Jun's excuse to Jin was a load of hogwash.
Following Keni's words Jun then turned to leave but would suddenly stop as he asked the bed ridden airbender a question. "Why...did you thank me? I wasn't doing anything special..."
Upon hearing the question Keni would look down at his hand and display a light and heartwarming smirk on his face. "Honestly you helped me today. At the risk of sounding conceited I hadn't had someone push me the way you did today in a really long time. It was only thanks to you challenging me at every turn that I was able to to perform that cyclone prison. I fight stronger opponents because it helps to keep me from being complacent. It grants me the opportunity to see what else is out there and gives me a new goal to strive for. You gave that to me today, as well as helped me to take the steps I needed to, to get a better handle and understanding of my quirk. Shockingly I was expecting this level of a fight from the ice user, I never thought I'd get it from you, No offense." smirked Keni was he laid back in bed.
