But what would that achieve? The point of Pyrha holding back is for Jaune to feel stronger. If she can't make it convincing, and personally, I don't think she could, then it wouldn't have the necessary effect. Not to mention, if Jaune beats Pyrha only be curbstomped the very next round, he's not going to get much confidence out of it. Especially if the next round is somebody else who is clearly not stronger than Pyrha. If they do end up facing each other in the tournament, I can't actually see any worthwile gain to her throwing the match.
