The man nodded as he listened to her, even if not fully understanding, but showing sympathy for her as being new to this form of sport or entertainment (if not fighting).<br/>"Something like that, yes. Even if you beat an opponent, it means nothing if you don't get a strong reaction from the crowd. Let it be cheers or outrage, as long as they come back for the next games it doesn't matter. Now, since you said you're going to do this, better get out of that armor and heavy gear, down to your underwear while I explain how games and matches work." He motioned towards a nearby bench where she could sit or leave her items while she was training, as no one was moving around they would be left alone here.<br/><br/>"Most common in the games these days are deathmatches. Rarely fought to the death anymore, it's more about two fighters pit against another with weapons and fighting until one is incapacitated. In case they send in convicts and other scum, or more common in the older days, the defeated was judged by the master of the games and was to be executed in the arena. It happens rarely nowdays, but accidents do happen and some fighters can hold grudges and lust for blood. There are also deathmatches where warriors are paired and fight as a team, or someone fights handicapped against two opponents." he started off.<br/>"In a battle royale it's every gladiator for themselves, last fighter standing or the last few win. They like to have these matches with uneven contestants to eliminate the majority and hold tournaments with the remaining warriors." Doctore explained, remembering the last event where Evelyn was eliminated early before she could be paired against others in duels.<br/>"Lately what also gained popularity are brawls, or unarmed matches. No weapons are allowed and grappling and skills are required to win. Usually that means pinning the opponent or making them submit or give up. As it is fought in a designated ring, if one contestant is outside the ring for too long while the other is inside, they can be disqualified. If both are outside the ring, the rules don't apply to them, so there's chances for dirty fighting and using improvised weapons there. There are variations where there are fighters around the ring, allowed to attack any gladiator who is out of bounds, or where single weapon is placed in the ring and whoever gets to it is allowed to use it." he finished explaining. Just as an afterthought he added "Of course no magic or items are allowed in any of these games. This is purely a show of martial prowess and physical strength."<br/><br/>Finally he questioned Evelyn.<br/>"What do you think your biggest strengths are? How do you think you would fare with the different rules? Any sound difficult or new to you? I'm going to answer whatever questions you have before practice."<br/>
