Kidnapping

John finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes. The first thing he noticed upon waking up was that he was no longer in the arena. He quickly got out of bed and took a defensive posture as he scanned the area. Once he got a good look at the room he was in he was finally able to calm down. He was now back in his designated room at the dormitory. 

Once he calmed down John did some stretches and exited his room. When he got out he saw a lot of people moving around. John spoke to one of the passing people. 

"What's happening?" 

"Oh, you're finally awake, congratulations on passing the preliminaries." 

"... Thanks, but what's happening?" 

"Oh This, well since most of us weren't able to pass the preliminaries I and the others thought that there was no point in staying here. So most of us decided to head back home. Some already left while you were sleeping." 

"Wait, sorry I'm a bit confused. What exactly happened after I fainted?"
