章 64: A Peculiar Girl, The Drilling Grounds

The Drilling Grounds was a wide and spacious field within the Seeker's Union compound, a place fitted with several odd constructs and various mechanisms used to aspiring Seekers. Looking even further, one would see dirt pits, fighting rings, and many other objects.

A lizard faced examiner had brought Marius and the other Seeker Candidates in a broad and spacious circular-shaped battle ring. Here, erected spike traps had surrounded all corners with high hanging chain balls on each side. The harsh-looking concrete floor splattered with fresh bloodstains along with broken weapons, some having a rusted look as if they've been in that spot for quite some years.

Inspecting the ground a bit more, one would see fissures as if the weapons had scarred it, with some areas seeming to have suffered from claw marks. Just by looking at the scene, many of the candidates began sweating with fear in their eyes.
