"AUGH!" Rayan yelped as he cringed from the irritatingly loud noise in his ears. He turned to find none other than Kruck before him. Rayan gave him a look that comes naturally to most people who have just had their ears blasted out.

"Don't... repeat that... again." His voice was stern, but lacked fury. Rayan had learned long ago that showing anger to misbehavior only breeds future mischief and discord with students.

"Ahem," Rayan coughed to begin addressing Kruck. "Now that you're here, I suppose we can begin our spar. Since you're a student, I will allow you to define what weapons we will fight with, as well as grant you to make the first move. While you're deciding that..."

Rayan walked away from the new student until he reached the far-sided wall. He then turned on his heel to face Kruck again, and snapped his fingers. The ground convulsed in tremors, and fissures lined the dirt floor. Then the dirt ripped in two down the middle with a rumble, moving aside to make space for the massive metal complex in the gaping chasm below. The new environment rose on a large pedestal until it stopped at the original ground height with a blast of steam. A domed cage with two doorways stood between Rayan and Kruck; twisting ramps and walkways hung together like a wire maze over a bubbling couldron of molten rock and fire. Four massive towers stood near each corner of the cage, with ramps reaching them from the ground and bridges crossing the gaps between them.

"I chose the factory setting," Rayan explained, speaking loudly enough for Kruck to hear him over the bubbling of the lava and across the distance between them. "Once you choose what weapon parameters we're fighting with, step into the cage and we can begin." Rayan walked through his door with a casual step, his scarf fluttering in the gentle artificial breeze. Once inside, Rayan pondered which fighting style Kruck trained in.

Blades, guns, or magic? So long as it's not the last one on that list, there's no way he'll be able to beat me if I choose not to hold back, he told himself. An inviting smile came upon him. Then again, I wouldn't be able to test his potential if I did that. Hope he's worth my while.

Kuro walked into the arena in his black shirt and baggy jeans and noticed someone was already calling out for a challenge.He decided not to say anything since he had just arrived but had decided upon watching a few bouts and understanding a few peoples fighting styles then he would choose to make a challenge of his own.

((*sigh* it's really hard to get noticed around here...everyone is busy with their own plots. now what? although i really doubt that anyone will notice this post...))

Lukan entered the arena feeling kind of pumped, he was facing some random guy he wasn't familiar with. as he entered, a soft sea breeze. He stood on a small sandy island, and another across a ways. He sighed grabing his metal arm thinking about the risk, but he'd have to get over it. His tail and ears twiched as he waited for his opponet to arrive and he crossed his arms to his chest with his eyes closed leaning on the palm tree the provided shade from the artificial sun.

"You'd be correct sir. May I ask your name before facing you?" He asked cocking on eye browle stepping out from the shade making his eyes go to slits just bearly open because of the sun. "I'm Lukan, nice to meet you." He said placing his hands together and bowing to his opponet.

Xhel wandered around campus after leaving naka's company to search the grounds and get acclaimated to the territory, she found herself in the arena and decided to try and brush up on trainig so she waited in a chair for a challenger.
