A huge circular building full of dummies and swords. It smells of sweat and blood and is in a bad need of cleaning. You can practice your sparring and sword fighting alone or with a partner or two. Please
don't take the fighting too seriously.

Kevin grinned and unsheathed his sword. He watched the coppery colored combination of celestial bronze and stygian iron glisten in the sunlight, as the blade shined brightly. He threw his blade at a dummy about 30 feet away from him. It spun like a frisbee, and beheaded a dummy, then curved sideways and beheaded another, before returning to him, spinning the same way it had before. Kevin caught it by the handle and ran towards another dummy, ducking down before springing upwards, removing both the arm of the dummy, and the head of it, in one swing, he then kicked the remains of the dummy into another another. He gripped his sword by the handle with both hands, and in a graceful, extremely fast spinning motion, he separated the head of the 2nd dummy from its shoulders, separated from the shoulders to the waist, of both dummies, from it's legs, and then in the final revolution of his spin, he sliced the area of both dummies where the knee caps would have been, had they had any knee caps, causing each dummy to fall to the ground, in a heap of straw and limbs, the heads falling to the ground, the upper bodies falling to the ground, the lower bodies falling to the ground, and then finally, the legs to fall out from under them, causing each dummy to become a heap of straw on the ground. He grinned. Not bad for my first time practicing in a day or two. Coulda spun faster, but I can work on that one. He thought to himself as he sheathed his sword and turned to leave the Arena.

 Adonia unsheathed Animus, it's jagged, lightning bolt blade shining in the sun. She ran at the dummy, where it exploded the second her blade made contact. She whirled around and beheaded another dummy, making it catch on fire before spinning around and splicing one down the middle. Grinning, she hacked away at another row of dummies, laughing at the blade's destructive powers. She stopped for a moment, before going to the supplies shed. The Hephaestus cabin had provided these automans designed to attack the opponent while they trained. Adonia turned on the switch, and the bronze figured stepped towards her, taking a swipe at her with its' metal arm. She rolled under its' legs and took a hit with the flat of her blade, causing it to slowly turn around. She kicked it in the chest, sending it reeling backwards, before falling. Running at it, she used it's shoulders like a springboard and flipped over it before grabbing it from behind and stabbing the rubber joint connecting the head to the body. She flipped the switch off and reattached the head, before turning it on again, and gracefully spinning around it, she defeated it in 30 seconds flat. She turned it off, heaved it into the supplies shed before continuing to hack at another row of dummies, until she was standing in a heap of straw and burlap.

Adonia reached for a bottle of water by the bleachers, trying to cool off in the hot sun. She glanced down at Animus, surprised that Ares would give her such a destructive weapon. 30 feet away, the dummy she'd beheaded was still smoking from the contact. She sheathed Animus before pulling out the electrical dagger Lyra made for her at one point. She stood and ran towards another row of dummies, hacking and slicing at them. She ran towards one, her dagger raised, the power in the blade growing. She jumped forward and stabbed it in the chest, the electricity flowing around the dummy, catching it on fire. She quickly stomped it out, not wanting it to burn the other dummies until she was finished with them. Grinning, she turned around and spun around one and pulled up behind it, stabbing it in the back of the head before jabbing it into the back. After she finished another dummy, she put the dagger away, a little dissatisfied. Thought the dagger made for an excellent weapon, it just didn't have the energy swords did. She couldn't slice anything off with it, just stab and scar. Sighing, she put it away, and picked up her sports bag, leaving the arena.

 《Claire》
Arriving at the Arena she found it to be empty, most of the dummies already cut to pieces. Claire quickly got to work clearing the area of dead dummies and setting up the rest. As she worked Claire mindlessly wondered about who made all the dummies, it had to be tuns work with how often they were hacked up. The blond shook away her thoughts as soon as she was done organizing the dummies, unclasping her necklace and letting it become her saber-like sword. The blade was thin, but not as thin as a saber and looked to be alot sturdier, though if people didn't look close enough it would appear to just be a simple saber. Taking a deep breath Claire adjusted her stance then shot toward the dummies as she blew the air out slowly. A side slash, uppercut, she moved through the dummies like a dance ending with a stab where the shoulder of one dummy was. Looking back on her work, Claire sighed in disappointment. She really did need to work harder at this... Attaching her sword to a belt loop Claire made her exit toward the woods.
(To the woods~)

Kevin grinned and took one of the automatons out of the supply closet. He turned it on to the hardest setting available. It's metal arms retracted, and out came an arm with a sword for a hand, and an arm with a shield for a hand. Kevin smirked and took a swing at it. It blocked easily. Kevin dodged an attack from its sword, and jumped onto its arm, then jumped onto its shoulder. He swung downward, and the automaton extended its shield arm upward. Kevin grinned and grabbed the arm, and swung around and put his blade through the back of the automatons head, then as it turned to swing at him again, he jumped in front of his, slicing at his stomach, then gracefully jumped around it and stabbed it in the back, then swung at the joints connecting either arm. The arms fell to the ground, and the dummy fell apart, thick grey coils leading from the torso of it to the head, and arms. The red light on the top of its head turned off, and the coils retracted, reattaching the arms. Kevin then picked it up and put it back in the closet. "Hardest setting done, and it only took me 23 seconds. Not bad." He said, grinning. He turned to leave the arena, picking a shield up off the wall, he threw it like a frisbee across the arena, where it struck a dummy in the throat, and pinned it to the wall. He then walked out of the arena and sheathed his sword.

 Adonia smiled and unsheathed her sword. She watched Animus glint in the sunshine, its' cold metal glinting white. She attacked one dummy, beheading him and lobbing off limbs. She twirled around gracefully, her sword twirling above her head like a baton, before she stabbed enough dummy. She spun around, kicking another one with her boot and stabbing it through the head. She spun her sword around, her hair flying around her as she attacked another line of dummies. She gracefully flipped over another one, stabbing it behind the back, grinning. She finally dropped her sword, looking at the pile of straw and burlap on the ground. She grinned, sitting down in the bleachers before popping open a Coke.

"Wow. You really just carry around a spare coke?" Kevin asked, walking into the arena. "You're too flashy. If you were fighting somebody like me, and you twirled your sword around your head, you'd be dead before you could do anything to protect yourself." He said, as he took a sip of his vitamin water. He walked over to a dummy, still drinking his vitamin water. He dropped to a crouch an performed a sweeping kick on a dummy, knocking it down. Before it could hit the ground, he swivelled upwards, smashing the dummy in it's torso with his palm, sending the dummy about 15 feet into the air. As it came down, he spun around, delivering a back kick that sent the dummy hurtling 7 feet backwards, where it crashed into the wall, falling apart as it fell to the ground.

Adonia rolled her eyes. "If I was actually in a battle I wouldn't do that." She put down the coke. "It was in my sports bag. Thanks for showing off by the way." She stood, folding her arms.

"No problem, always a pleasure. Corkscrew palm, learned that a little while back. It hits the target so hard, it breaks the diaphragm and one or two ribs instantly. Wushu style, if you were wondering." He explained finishing his vitamin water and throwing the bottle into the trash can.

Adonia yawned slightly. "So have you seen Claire lately?" She asked, jumping the bleachers and walking to him.

"I'm not a babysitter, I don't keep tabs on people." He said with a laugh. "Why?"

Adonia shrugged. "She wants to be able to expand her powers. She and I have been practicing together. Meanwhile she's been talking to this Hades kid Skylar. I'm just worried about her s'all."

"Eh. Claire is a interesting one. She pretty much defies all expectations as a Zeus kid, if that makes sense. For better or for worse, she just isn't as strong. And you don't really gain power, you or Claire for that matter. It's always the same, you just control it better." He said, shrugging.
