Malin sat on the field for half an hour, during which no one came down to trouble him. The presence of the World Tree Sapling caused many people a great deal of headache—whether to enter the field to prove their innocence or to seek their own death was a very serious proposition.
Ultimately, Malin had no choice but to get off the field. Logan and Cohen looked listless, and upon asking, it was revealed that Malin's first opponent had come too quickly, and as soon as an opponent entered, the betting pool would refuse further bets, allowing only those who had already wagered to raise their bets.
Thus, they failed to grasp the opportunity to win big, and as soon as the nature of Malin's weapon was exposed, no one was willing to enter the field anymore.
