A player in Jujutsu Kaisen

Speedblizt (30)

However, the look vanished from her face as she tried to play it cool.

Maki's eyebrows raised in a combination of surprise and amusement, a playful smirk playing on her lips. She met Kenzo's gaze head-on, ready with a witty comeback. "Oh, you're going there, are you?" she retorted, her voice tinged with amusement and a feigned annoyance.

Kenzo's playful smile widened even further as he reveled in the reaction he had elicited. He shrugged nonchalantly, his eyes gleaming mischievously. "Hey, I couldn't pass up the chance for a clever play on words," he replied, his voice dripping with amusement.

The mood suddenly changed as Kenzo decided to stop holding back for a change, he wonder if she could keep up with him at all once he go all out.

Heh, that was a question his fire self would have to answer for him as right now he was about to go to pound town.....why the fuck does everything he thinks sound like this.

He ignored and continued to release his mana.

Kenzo eyes blazed with a radiant, bright blue light as he fully unleashed his power, no longer holding back. The pressure emanating from him was overwhelming, causing the ground to crack beneath their feet, a testament to the incredible strength he possessed.

An aura of tremendous power enveloped Kenzo, signifying the immense gap between their abilities. He fixed his gaze upon Maki, his voice carrying an air of challenge and excitement as he proposed a daring bet.

"If you manage to land a hit on me, I'll owe you a favor," Kenzo proclaimed, his voice filled with confidence. "But if you can't, then you'll owe me a favor. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Maki's eyes widened as she assessed the vast difference in their powers.
The question now was if she would actually accept such a one-sided deal.
It was all up to her.

"Challenge accepted," she declared, her voice tinged with a mix of determination and confidence. "I won't back down. I'll give it everything I've got."

Kenzo's grin widened, it was funny to see how easily she fell for it, hilarious even.
Guess it was time to end it, or not he might actually just use this to train her a bit cause why not he felt generous.

Kenzo tapped into his full power, combining it with his mana enhancement to reach unparalleled strength.

Time skip like 1 minute into the future.

So, it was one side as hell, she couldn't even see him half the time let alone land a hit, sometime he would tease her by appearing near her and something he would straight up poke her cheek and teleport away before she could react.

There was also the fact that if you look too deeply within his aura you will feel like you staring at death itself.

It was in all honesty, a rigged fight...she was never meant to win in the first place.

Panda and Inumaki, who had been observing the fight from a distance, exchanged astonished glances as Kenzo unleashed his full power. The sheer magnitude of his aura and the crackling energy that surrounded him left them in awe.

His energy alone was enormous, it felt vast but seeming not as endless as Yuta, though what it lacked for in quantity, it more than made up for it in density.

His energy felt so goddam dense, it was insane, how could it feel so dense, his usual blue aura seemed to be turning a tiny bit purple.

Panda's usually calm demeanor broke for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise. He had never witnessed such a display of raw power before, and the impact was undeniable.

His usual playful demeanor shifted into one of deep respect, realizing the extent of Kenzo's abilities.

Inumaki, true to his unique way of communication, could only express his surprise through his rice ball ingredient speech. His eyes widened, and he muttered a series of rice ball ingredients that loosely translated to "unbelievable power" and "overwhelming presence."

The two of them exchanged silent glances, both acknowledging the immense strength that Kenzo possessed. They understood that Maki was facing an incredibly challenging opponent, and the weight of the fight became all the more apparent.
And that she just fell into a trap....yeah....

They also realize that it was more than likely that he was holding back during the Tokyo event, by a lot. There is no way he grew so much in just 2 weeks. (yes and yes)

With a newfound understanding of the power at play, Panda and Inumaki continued to watch the battle unfold, their attention fully focused on the clash between the two formidable fighters.

They knew that Maki would have to dig deep and summon every ounce of her strength and skill to overcome the overwhelming force that Kenzo now wielded.

Who were they kidding she was going to get folded.

Kenzo's speed was beyond Maki's ability to keep up as he swiftly closed the distance between them. To her surprise, instead of launching an attack, he playfully bopped her on the nose, catching her off guard.

Maki blinked in confusion, momentarily taken aback by the unexpected action. Her hand instinctively went up to her nose as she registered the light tap. Her expression shifted from surprise to a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

"Hey, what was that for?" Maki exclaimed, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Despite her attempt to maintain a serious demeanor, it was evident that Kenzo's playful gesture had managed to elicit a reaction from her.

Kenzo grinned mischievously, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Just keeping you on your toes, Maki," he replied, his voice laced with playful taunting. "Can't have you getting too comfortable, now can we?"

Maki's annoyance melted into a smirk as she realized Kenzo intention behind the bop on her nose. She shook her head, and her competitive spirit reignited. "You think that's enough to throw me off? You're underestimating me, Kento," she retorted, her voice carrying a mix of determination and amusement.

With that, the brief lighthearted moment passed, and their focus shifted back to the fight. Maki prepared herself for Kenzo's next move, knowing full well that beneath his teasing demeanor, he was a formidable opponent. She would match his playfulness with her own strength and skill, ready to prove that she was more than capable of holding her own in their spar.

A/N...who here thinks he is still holding back in order to not accidentally kill her.
