Even without Linda Lynch using her spiritual power, in a pure contest of physical prowess, Zoe Pierce shouldn't have been the victor.
Linda Lynch looked at Zoe Pierce, whose forehead was already beaded with sweat. Zoe had her wrist in a tight grip. If this were a real match, the location of her Intelligent Brain meant she would have already been eliminated.

She was no longer an unpolished stone, but a gem already shining brilliantly.
Linda Lynch spoke. "I lost."
"You won, Zoe Pierce."
Rather than feeling bitter about being surpassed by a junior, Linda Lynch was filled with admiration for Zoe Pierce.
