Training or Punishment?

As he turned to leave the registration area of the arena, Liam saw the Initiate behind him give him a curious look before turning and continuing on their way to the training area.

The Initiate didn't ask Liam about Susanna or talk about anything else. He led Liam directly to the basement of the arena—where the training sector was located.

The arena had only one fighting platform where the students could watch the ranked fights. However, in the basement of this building, 20 training platforms were available for contracted trainings.

The place looked like a large shed with no interior walls, dark mostly, with only lighting on the 20 platforms distributed in a rectangular area measuring 140 by 180 meters.

The 20 platforms were separated by dark corridors where some members of the arena or groups of disciples could be seen waiting for their fights, chatting or even watching fights in progress.
