I returned to the arena with my group and the people who saw me enter were making confused noises in the stands.
"What are they doing back here again?"
"Did they change the teams?"
"I lost six hundred Creas because of them!"
"They're definitely cheating!"
"... You guys are so dead… I have nothing to do with those guys, I swear…"
The last guy seemed a little weird but I just ignored them and went to the arena.
We had already gone to bet on ourselves and I placed a ten thousand Crea bet that we would win of course. The others went to bet all their winnings from the preliminaries as well so they really went all in on it.
I would have bet more but they placed a cap on the maximum amount that each of us could bet unfortunately, which was at five thousand each.
I could only bet that ten thousand thanks to Eins, of course.
Oh well, at least it's better than the odds we were getting before this.
