you follow him to a large training area where you see several girls in outfits similar to yours. A little farther is a bunch of guys training in heavier-looking armor. Tho there is also a group of guys wearing only pants and barbaric paintings.

As you approach, two of the older girls walk over and greet your silent guide. "Hey Scar, that a new girl?" one of the girls asks while looking at you. He nods and says, I'll be leaving her to you from here on out, she has no real fighting skills or spirit, tho she's probably had some self-defense lessons at some point it doesn't go beyond being able to not hurt herself with the blade".

You stand there looking lost while he criticizes your combat skills. One of the women walks up to you "I see, well, if she can at least manage to not hurt herself then she's better than most of our new girls". She chuckles and extends her hand to you, you hesitantly take it. "My name's Jessica sweetie, what's yours?" she asks with a warm smile. You introduce yourself and find out the other woman is called Samantha, 'Sam' for short. By the time introductions are over, you notice Scar took the opportunity to leave quietly.

You make some chit-chat with the women and they tell you a gladiator's job is to fight in arena's. You get scared and ask them if they mean fights to the death. They giggle a bit "No, not quite, tho the guys do that alot. Female gladiators aren't killed that often, It does happen though, so keep your guard up" Jessica explains. Sam adds "Well, regardless of being killed or not, losing is always a really bad idea, trust me". Both of them look down for a moment, then they return to being cheery and lead you to where the other girls are training.

"Everyone, this is the new girl, Mia" Jessica yells, Sam adds "you'll be training here with the other girls until you're ready for real fights" they turn to leave, as an afterthought, Jessica tells you "If you take too long getting ready to fight, they'll just throw you in as a sacrifice so the crowd can see some blood, so you'd better take your training seriously". That said, they leave you alone with a bunch of girls around your age. You smile at them nervously, not really knowing what to do.

One of the girls comes over to tell you what to do

One of the girls walks over to you with a creepy smile that makes you shiver

One of the girls raises her blade at you, motioning for you to come spar with her

They ignore you and go back to their training
