The team battle that Gnihzur took part in was long over, but they remained onstage whilst Admin White went up to the VIP viewing booth to consult the respective Guild Masters about the protocol of victory.
Disgruntled Arehas who was the master of the Lustful Melody Guild posed a general question to her peers while hinting to Chirako and Neji. "Those 2, how did they get back on stage when they were eliminated? I'm sure I saw them getting knocked off the stage and into the water. Could they have swam up from underneath? If so, that is against the rules and those 2 need to be eliminated."
Hearing what Arehas had to say, Admin White clarified, "That is not possible. We have healers stationed around the water source. As soon as a participant falls in, they are swiftly teleported backstage or directly to the infirmary depending on their physical condition. And once that occurs, under no circumstances are the eliminated contestants allowed to re-enter the stage."
