## Chapter
- number: 79
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
The narrative has pivoted sharply from its usual dark, psychological themes into a bizarrely comedic and surreal arc. This "Victor" arc, described as a "fever dream," sidelines the manhwa's core exploration of trauma and abuse in favor of a slapstick confrontation against the absurdly lucky Viktor Grigoryevich. The previous chapter established this strange tone with a new coach who comically wished for his mohawked opponent's death. The current chapter escalates the absurdity, with reader reactions of shock and laughter indicating a pivotal, comical event during the match. Based on comments describing an "uno reverse" and a character slipping, it appears Viktor, whose backstory involves surviving natural disasters, avoided a knockdown through a comically timed fall. This solidifies the fight as a battle between Yu's persistent misfortune and Viktor's supernatural luck. Amidst this black comedy, Yu remains a sad and detached observer, his melancholy a stark contrast to the strange, luck-based spectacle unfolding before him.
