From MC's perspective:
Duel platform,
The referee saw that Damien was immobile. He couldn't continue the duel. So he declared Miranda as the winner.
Cheer!
Right after, a loud applause sounded. At this point, everyone came to a realization. Something must have happened to Damien while he was busy cutting down the flower plants earlier.
Creak!
The barrier starts to go down. Seeing that Miranda sighed in relief. She didn't want to use the same tactics against Damien.
Otherwise, the duel could have gone longer. She doesn't want to waste her mana unnecessarily.
When the barrier went down. She stepped out of the platform and started walking towards the 9th seat. She made a safe bet and won it.
Now it's time to see whether anyone is ready to take the same risk as well.
Damien, on the other hand, was quickly treated. The unknown substance in his body was neutralized. Then he was able to move his body.
