As the remainder of the second round continued, notable fighters like Yuna Hu on the same side of the bracket as Ver and Fatera, and Lily Watts, on the other side of the brackets, were able to push through.
Compared to the intended win/loss outcomes as planned by the PORA, the majority of the fighters that they are interested in recruiting all ended up moving onto the next round anyway. On paper, it appeared that the goals of the PORA to fix the matches wouldn't have made any difference at all, and that has been the case, due to the branching power structures of the two.
John King may have succeeded in ruining Jing's plans and her attempts to gain the favors of the PORA higher-ups by recruiting students with potential through match-fixing, it looked like the giant girl had at least fulfilled her purpose in messing up her plan.
