As a Jr. Counsellor, Bunny can't help but feel impressed when Jake's psi-shield deflects his own shot. He's seen Jake put up weaker shields, so the pride is a little hard to ignore.

"Hell if I was expecting that!" Bunny laughs. "Looks like you did bring your a-game."

Bunny's own Psi-shield isn't much stronger; he relies more on evasion and hasn't put much thought into the badge. So rather than set up his own shield, Bunny dashes forward and double-jumps, sending his own shot Jake's way from the air.

Which, of course, leaves him open to return shots for a few seconds (it's levitation, audience, not flight), but it's worth the risk.
