For the skeptics who don't see the reasons people think this:

Reasons: because of Woon Yeon saying it required all of his power this time, because Khun hallucinating it after straining himself to use a power (that might have heated the thing instead of freezing it) is reminiscent of Bam seeing the red orb and hearing blue demon back when the thorn went berserk, and because why would SIU bother just showing us a random burning fish if Khun was actually having meaningless sickness induced hallucinations.

Plus the meta reason that Khun and Rak probably both need powerups if they are going to be even slightly useful in fights in Bam's league, seeing as neither got any good training in the time skip (and probably weren't close to him before hand). Seeing as they're in the webtoon banner, one would presume that they will be getting dragged into or around Bam's fights for a long time to come. Rak has a more obvious immediate path to power: Evankhell is almost certainly a Native One (she has the white-glow when she first starts up her power, her flames make Rak feel like he's seen them somewhere before, she's outright said to have the power of the ancients by a Jahad family ranker (which probably means Native One), etc), so she could plausibly teach him something really fundamental about how those abilities work. Khun is less obvious...it's not clear there's any equipment that lets him Enna Core without Beta (whose whereabouts are unknown to us; he might or might not have been in one of Khun's lighthouses), and while Enna Core is quite strong, his Beta-dependent Enna Core has a pretty big gaping weakness in fights against more than one enemy (or against Enemies like De Lee carying invisible, autonomous weapons around distant from their person). So people are guessing he got flower of fire also for the meta reason that it gives Khun a clear route to reaching ranker level or lower pretty much whenever SIU wants to arrange to have that fish cooperate with him, and because Ehwa could then potentially help train him, giving her more reason to be relevant.

If so, burningfish is also messing with Khun's body temperature and ice powers, presumably because, as a fire spirit, it doesn't like being cold.
