If you listen carefully before Merc say "There won't be a next time blondie!" The sound of the audience disappeared like a field surrounded them, that was how I knew Neo was behind this. It was more likely Emerald, not Neo.

Neo's Semblance might be illusions, which affect what everyone sees.

Emerald's Semblance might be mirages, which affects what only ONE person sees.

Yang thought that Mercury attacked her, so she shoot him in the side of his knee.

What really happened, which everyone in the colosseum, the cameras, and everyone watching on TV saw, was that Mercury walked over to her, and she turned around and shot him in the side of his knee.
