The match had gone in a way that no one had expected!
A Lower Class elite, already known to be scum, competing earnestly against one of the strongest in the Academy; that was something unbelievable to the audience.
Jerry had somehow defied the odds and kept fighting even when the others that came before him surrendered without even the slightest bit of effort… or were simply one-shoted before they could even voice out their surrender.
Seeing Jerry engaging Richard with all he had slowly morphed the opinion of those who watched. Even though they knew the boy would ultimately lose… something about his persistence struck a chord in their hearts.
So, this was what a true battle was like?
