Due to their lack of decisive power, Zafar instructs Cestvs and his companions to train all day every day by digging with pickaxes. Though his companions complain, Cestvs regards Zafar's word as his only ray of hope and continues digging. Meanwhile, a pair of messengers arrive to announce a fighting tournament held by the emperor. Emperor Nero himself has ordered that Cestvs participate. He seems to be unable to escape him... With indescribable uncertainty in his heart, Cestvs participates in the qualifier in order to win his freedom. However, the arena is a wooden structure resembling a run-down cage.
Only then will they find their own 
truth and the will to grow stronger.
عندها فحسب سيجد حقيقته
وإرادة النمو أقوى
Doch egal wie lang man diese Unterhaltung
auch führt, eine Antwort bekommt man nie.
Pero si no continúas de forma constante,
jamás llegarás a la respuesta.
Pero si no continúas de forma constante,
jamás llegarás a la respuesta.
Toutefois, des résultats ne se verront
qu’au prix d’efforts acharnés.
Tuttavia, se non c'è continuità,
non si arriverà mai a una risposta.
Se não continuar perpetuamente assim,
nunca se chegará à resposta.
Лишь тогда можно обрести свою правду
 и стать сильнее.
