Hello, Player! Has it been a while since I saw you, or is it just because I'm so busy these days?

Either way, I have some news that might interest you.

You've heard of the Empyrean Crucible and the Crucible Challenge, right? Well, Lord Marchutan has opened a whole new Crucible to test the skills of every Daeva: the Crucible Coliseum.

Player: "The Coli-what?"

Coliseum! It's a place for battling other Daevas.

You see, the Empyrean Crucible taught you to work together with your comrades, the Crucible Challenge taught you to use your own wits. Now, there's the Crucible Coliseum--a test of your raw survival skills!

I'd love to tell you all about it, but the new Instructor can probably explain it better. Why don't you go and see him?

Player: Accept

Great! His name is Shinin. You see him over there near the doorway? Yeah, you can't miss him.

I hope you'll excuse me if I don't escort you over there. He's a bit... um... well. You'll see.

I can say that he knows allllllllll about the Crucible Coliseum, though!

Player: "Well that's good... I guess."

You think you're ready for the Crucible Coliseum, do you?

Unlike other Crucibles, the Crucible Coliseum is divided into a number of rooms.

If you enter the corridor, you'll find one door to each room. At this time, you can enter the Arena of Discipline and the Arena of Harmony.

Each arena has its own rules, so I'll start with the rules of the Arena of Discipline. Now listen up, because you'll need to know this soon enough!

Player: "Listening, sir!"

Got all that?

Could have fooled me with that witless look on your face.

I'll give you some time. Make sure to understand the rules.

Then, I'll tell you the rules of the Arena of Harmony.

Player: End conversation.

Are you sure you understood all the rules for the Arena of Discipline?

If so, I'll move on to the rules for the Arena of Harmony.

The Arena of Harmony rules are a bit more complicated, so listen carefully.

Player: "I'd like to hear the rules of the Arena of Harmony."

The Crucible Coliseum trains you through real battles. You'll get severely injured if you are careless even for a second.

I'd give you some advice, but really, it all boils down to: watch yourself.

Your opponents will be among the toughest you've faced, if we're doing our job correctly. I don't want to let some fledgling in and end up with my superiors coming down on me for it.

I can repeat myself as many times as you need, Player%.
