We are Conquerors

Outside of the forest, all were unaware of the sudden turn in events. They discussed heatedly their favourite contestants, with some even going as far as to make huge wagers. Following Gaaro's defeat, many had now placed their bets on Taf and May securing fourth and fifth positions. They were now seen as possibly the strongest competitors with strengths below the Half-Step Lords.

There weren't many arguments against placing huge wagers on the two as evidence by the board they were big stage performers and built for such occasions. However, a few gamblers went as far as pegging them to take it all. These were some persons who had 'inside' information. They were the members of squad Malgrey who knew there were more surprises to be had.
