@Fayfay here's what Jiwoo has:
- extreme speed
- lightning force
- self healing
- +durability
- close combat
- force control prodigy (fast learner)
- combat experience (assuming people above avoid fights)
- top tier mentor
Opponent:
- spatial manipulation
- grudge from top tier mentor
- assume higher power level
- assume lower combat experience
What decided the outcome of the fight: although underpowered, Jiwoo caught his opponent off guard (rookie mistake) by optimizing his strength by concentrating it into a point. (This trope has been used at least 3 times in this story prior to this).
What couldve been:
- force projection/long range attacks
- time manipulation (speedster perks)
- simultaneous force control (he's so much of a prodigy that he can use defensive+regen on his left side, while attacking with lightning on right)
- utilized the qualities of lightning
- mini domain
If they wanted to highlight his greater combat experience, it would have been the focus of the chapter. But the chapter focused on the rationale behind dropping everything else he has learned and focusing on exerting an all out effort.
Let's see the next fight if they still choose to just bump up his power somehow.
