((really sorry about that guys, i totally didn't realize))
The man from the desk walked in and looked at the two. "In case this is your first time, i'll give you the quick briefing. There are three arenas. Inside you will face the winner of the last round in that arena. You win by either forcing your opponent to give up and surrender, or, well, killing them. Killing is not advised but is permitted. If you win five rounds in a row you get the first level prize, and at that point you can either decide to stay and fight towards ten wins- the grand prize, or you can leave with your current winnings. If you lose, you'll either leave here in shame or in a coffin. Aren't many rules besides those. Understood?"
Jacob nodded his head and gripped his blade, anxious to get in there and fight. He had only ever lost one battle, and that was against his father, a story he shuddered at the thought of.
