Jay punched Res and thanks to that Res was forced to kneel down.
The difference in power was quite clear so there wasn't much to say. But one this was for sure, Jay had become extremely powerful.
He knew that and that became evident after taking a look at his punch, however, he had no idea why the crystal didn't work.
Indeed, a few cases similar to this had been notified earlier but in all of those cases, the crystals would show at least some sort of reaction.
For example, the crystal would either vibrate a bit or at least emit a tiny bit of light. Jay was probably the first one to experience such a situation.
In any case, he was happy enough to revive the rank-up just by punching Res since it would waste less amount of time.
Also, he would be able to skip all the unwanted tests that were designed. He had no objections to that because all he wanted was the rank-up advance money that was given as a congratulatory gift by the government.
