They all went down to the arena, which was on the main floor of the complex, just past the entrance. It was a large room made of stone. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all made from polished stone in the massive room. It had a thirty-foot ceiling and was as wide as a football field with raised seating etched out around the sides. The room was illuminated by light magic and there was hardly a shadow in the room as the light seemed omnipresent.
"Welcome new blood." Samson said. "This is the arena. It is a room made of stones that are impervious to magic. So, we are able to go all out without fear of damaging the school. We do ask that you refrain from killing and or dying as the school healer gets upset when she has to do her job."
The class started laughing.
