As the round continues, Saki becomes fearful; and Koromo reveals her aura. Then she controls the game by reducing her opponents' tenpai probabilities and playing two haitei raoyue moves in a row. However, Yumi gives Saki a win off her discard and breaks Koromo's control. Then Yumi changes up her game and follows up with a score off of Kana. However, Koromo unveils a different aura and changes up with fast high scoring play. The first half ends with Koromo in the lead, and everyone fearing her abilities.
