After finishing talking about what would and would not be allowed in the fights, that old soldier who presented the situation to the competitors gave his turn to someone else.
The rules were not complicated at all and were only there to keep the matches as balanced as possible, limiting the side of the soldiers so that the competitors had a chance of winning. After all, even if the power was equal, the soldiers had more valuable items and also fought more often than these people.
Each soldier had to complete many monthly fighting hours as a form of regular examination. That was done to prepare them for the fights they might face at any time in the future.
Fighting was not a tricky thing. It would not require great intelligence. However, considering someone's characteristics and equipment, having the best fighting proficiency demanded constant training, like real fights.
This involved commitment and a routine!
