Chapter 169: Finding a Fight (2)
Approaching Dama, I walked beside her as she led me into the tunnel, which descended down under the ground.
Fighters walked with us or past us, each one minding their own business and keeping distance between themselves and everyone else.
The air inside the tunnel was slightly stale and filled with the scent of sweat, blood, smoke, and...
Frowning, I glanced at Dama, who smirked at me as we walked past a small room, loud moans echoing inside of it.
"Those are the 'playrooms' for the fighters; win or lose, fighting builds up stress, and the Arena rents pleasure slaves from the brothels to fill those rooms with various girls to help the fighters - us - release any pent up stress or emotions. Though, sleeves are mandatory in there - for sex, anyways - and you can buy some at the stalls inside."
Giving her a nod, I continued to walk beside her as we reached another large, open hall, where dozens of benches provided spots to rest for the fighters.
Most spots were occupied, and I frowned at the sheer amount of people getting ready for fights.
"How many people participate in these fights?"
"Hm... anywhere from a one on one to a ten on ten. Sometimes the organizers bring out monsters or animals for the fighters to kill. Though, for us, it will all be one on ones. Ah, and another rather fun tidbit I just 'forgot~' to mention is that we have to fight barehanded~!"
Stopping for a moment, I glared at my Dama as she grinned back at me, her amber eyes filled with amusement as she added "You can earn weapons if you take them from your opponents though~!"
Shaking my head, I sighed as I resumed walking, muttering "You are insufferable sometimes, Dama..."
"Only sometimes~? Damn, I gotta do better then..."
"Alright, you both are now set. Today you have three fights scheduled each, and we will call you by the number on the medallion. If you wish to watch the current fights, viewing areas are on that side of the hall, but please do not push or pull people that are already there. Doing so will result in warnings, and if you reach two warnings, you will be thrown out for today. Finally, if you need to... 'relieve' yourself, the playrooms are back that way; sex must be with a sleeve, but anything else is as you please. Good luck."
Bowing to us, the Doe turned her attention back to her own papers, sorting through them as she waited for us to leave.
Seeing that Dama was about to say something to her, I rolled my eyes and pulled her away, towards the viewing areas that the Doe had pointed out.
"I want to see the fights, so come on. Besides, I do believe the agreement between you and Mama goes both ways, no?"
Sighing, she nodded as we approached the small raised platforms for viewing, with us looking through small slitted windows at ground level.
A wide field of sand greeted our vision as we peered through the window, and we saw an ingoing fight happening above us; four women were sparring in the center, using only their hands as they grappled and punched on another.
Their technique was crude, but they were all muscular women, so they each had power behind their swings; a Boarkin slammed her fist into the jaw of an Orc, who spat blood and growled at the woman, reaching forwards to grab her shoulder.
Beside the Orc was a Catkin, who was ducking under a punch from an Elf, only to kick the Elf in the stomach and send her rolling away, spittle coating her lips.
With the Elf down, the Catkin turned towards the Boarkin and swept a kick towards her knees, while the Orc threw a wide punch towards the woman's cheek.
With two solid thunks of flesh against flesh, the Boarkin went down next, her cheek swollen.
A roar of applause swept through the crowd, and the Orc and Catkin grinned at one another as they paraded around, declared the victors of the match.
"So? What'd you think, Aethisia?"
