Not Fighting Anymore

The two gladiators woke up when Zhang Heng and Varo went for a bath. They were no longer in the room when Zhang Heng returned. When the sky finally turned dark, they returned to the room with their hands on each other's shoulders and a strong smell of alcohol on them. 

It was understandable that they would go all out and enjoy themselves on this day. Although the gladiator school promised gladiator slaves like Sethnets and Garba their freedom back, the vast majority of the slaves would die fighting in the arena before they could regain their freedom. 

Although the death rate of current gladiators had dropped significantly compared to gladiators from BC, the average survival age of twenty-five still posed many problems. If they chose not to enjoy themselves while they were able to do so, it was likely that they would not be able to do it in the future. Not to mention that they were only allowed to go all out to enjoy themselves on this day.
