A change in the games.

"The actions of reaper Scarlet, also known as the hound are not in violation of the rules of the duo leaderboard games." 

After those words were said, everything unfroze, and the competition resumed. It would have resumed much quicker if everyone was not suddenly caught up in the repercussions of this sudden announcement. Did it mean that anybody who desired could eliminate the competition by pulling, pushing or kicking them down just as she had done?

In these games, everyone apart from your teammate was an enemy but often reapers were aligned as warriors or guardians. 

In the beginning, warrior reapers and guardian reapers had been having fun taunting each other. There a common union as the enemy was either a warrior or a guardian. But now , everything had changed, so what if you were a warrior or guardian like me, in the end you were competition. 

[Wait a minute, I don't understand this, do you mean that we can eliminate each other?]
