What if Veramonte...
What if Veramonte gets jumped during the fight? People are talking about Jurion using outside interference to beat Jiwoo, and others are correctly pointing out that Kayden and all the others are there to prevent that. But what if Jurion is sick of his grandfather stifling him? What if he brings in outside help kill his own grandfather?
Jurion could bring in a secret top-ten-level awakener that he's sworn allegiance to, or one of the villains we already met. He could just reveal that he was hiding his true power level all along, or that the drugs they've developed have advanced to eliminate side effects. Either way, if he attacks his own grandfather, I don't think anyone besides Jiwoo and the younger brother would even try to stop him. And if he, and anyone he's with, just do the smartest thing anyone in this series has ever done and just keep the kiddy gloves on for an exhausted and weakened Jiwoo and don't hurt him?
"That's the awakener world for you." -Kayden, aura-farming, refusing to aid Veramonte.
I just don't think Jurion will properly lose to Jiwoo yet, he's giving too many Itachi-vibes with these clone fake outs. I also don't think Jiwoo's arc needs another loss right now. This lets Jurion 'lose' by just walking away from the fight, but clearly isn't how Jiwoo wants to win. This would also allow room for Jisuk to get his lick back later on, rather than relying on Jiwoo to do it for him.
That'd be the other way this fight ends without either side really winning: Jisuk miraculously shows up and tells Jiwoo to fuck off for trying to steal his revenge.
