Cestvs wins his first fight of the qualifier, but he is irritated for reasons he doesn't understand, and even clashes with the other fighting slaves. He can feel that his training has produced results, but something's not right... As Cestvs struggles with the problem, Zafar tells him to open his eyes. He must discover the answer for himself and apply what he has learned. After training with a clear mind and doing some self-reflection, Cestvs finds the feeling he's been looking for. However, his next opponent is a powerful professional gladiator who uses a style unlike anything he's faced before.
He's definitely gotten stronger, but he 
never used to pummel downed opponents.
أصبح أقوى بالفعل، لكنّه لم يكن
يبرح الخصم الطريح ضرباً
Er ist sicherlich stärker geworden,
Definitivamente se ha vuelto más fuerte,
Sin duda, se ha vuelto más fuerte,
Même s’il est devenu plus fort,
È diventato decisamente più forte, ma non aveva mai
colpito un avversario a terra prima d'ora.
Realmente ficou forte, mas ele nunca
se acostumou a bater em adversários caídos.
Стал сильнее, тут не спорю,
