### Summary
The narrative has shifted its focus from the main protagonist, Yu, to the determined underdog, Jay, whose professional match is currently in its second round. Despite facing a physically imposing opponent who appears to be in a different weight class, Jay is demonstrating immense resilience, earning passionate cheers and support from onlookers. His ability to get back up after being knocked down has transformed him into a sympathetic figure, with readers finding his struggle more exciting than the main protagonist's fights and comparing him to a typical "shounen mc." This chapter highlights Jay's perseverance, framing him as a "late bloomer" and reinforcing the manhwa's central theme of hard work versus innate talent. While the protagonist Yu is notably absent, Jay's character arc continues to develop, fueling speculation about a future, albeit likely one-sided, confrontation between the two.
