@Ichigo Nah, I don't think that's the case. Based on the lady's expression when she announced Jiwoo's victory, I think she legit believes Jiwoo won the fight. She noticed that Jiwoo likely fought with a handicap (saw his speed decrease), that Jiwoo's last attack could have killed Duke if aimed at a different location on the body, and she knew Jiwoo had no intention to kill, so I believe she called out the winner the moment a lethal strike was made.
(Edit: pronoun correction(?). As Random Commenter said, I also remembered the character being introduced as male, but translation could be wrong. However, even if the character turned out to be a non-binary pansexual that identifies as a strong, independent helicopter, I'd still enjoy the story, so I'll just leave the pronouns as I left them for now since it plays zero difference in the story. Thanks fellow commenters! I enjoy our interactions.)
