The contestants were moved back to the waiting rooms. 

There were 9 contestants left. After that guy had fallen to his death, no one dared touch the ropes. 

Jungkook had slowed his pace and was the 5th to retrieve a flag.

Han had placed in third, he smirked at Jungkook thinking he had actually beat him.

They were brought back to the practice hall. 

"Today one of you was going to be eliminated. After the death that happened, that is no longer needed. Some of you will be eliminated by not meeting the requirements and others by dying. Keep that in mind and stay alert." Master Jung finished.

Jungkook smiled "Why are you so sure it's going to be me?" 

Lord Kim smiled back "I am your sponsor Jungkook, that's what I should believe." He paused for a bit. "Very well then, I will let you look around the room. Make yourself comfortable." With that Lord Kim left the room and locked the door behind him.
