"What!"
"Nothing was mentioned about us dying!"
"Isn't that illegal?"
These were the type of sayings everyone in the crowd repeated.
"Should've read your waiver," Figg addressed. "Anything's legal when you work with the government."
Silence among the crowd. Not the normal chatters that happened before but just silence. Every boxer in here was questioning their life choices about coming here.
"Not that confident anymore huh?"
"Well I'll give you all a choice, you can stay and fight for your life or you can leave right now."
As soon as everyone heard that 99% of people started moving their feet and then leaving (including Michael).
Figg declared, "BUT if you leave you will not be able to box again for the rest of your life."
As soon as he said that everyone's feet stopped.
"So I oppose you with the decision," Figg affirmed. "Die for what you love, or live without it."
A few people still walked out and left but the majority of the people still stayed.
"We're now down to 1750 people," Figg said. "You will now be taken to your rooms."
Michael was observing the building he was in. Some guy next to him was having a mental breakdown.
"I should have left, why did I not leave!"
Michael thought to himself, 'Poor guy."
Everyone got blindfolds put on them and sleeping pills. They were led to the rooms they were staying in and as soon as Michael woke up and took off his blindfold, he saw 3 other people in the same room as him.
It was a simple room. There was nothing else except 3 fairly big air mattresses with pillows and blankets on top. The walls and floor were both gray, although a slightly different tint.
Michael asked, "Are we roommates?"
The 2 other people just looked at him and ignored him.
"Thanks for letting me know," Michael replied to what they didn't say. When he said that he went and found an empty mattress and sat on it.
"Are you guys also boxers?"
"Yea," One of the guy's said.
"What's your name?"
"Rick," The same guy who answered his question before answered.
"My name is Michael."
After a bit of chit chat Michael realized what happened. They were scared of him before because they saw him aggressively beat his highschool bully up but they made up.
The same guy who was quiet before still said nothing but Rick told Michael it was because he regretted not leaving before.
Michael then went with Rick outside of their room to explore this building. There was a really nice gym with boxing, weights, and cardio equipment and a really big bathroom with a hot tub. Besides that there was one room with a professional looking ring probably where the fights were gonna take place. Besides that the only other thing there was other rooms.
Michael thought this was a good time to check what rewards he got. He went into a stall in the bathroom and opened his quest window.
