"I expect that I'll find a lot to learn about," Batiatus told Holy Roman Empire, giving him a thankful smile. He wasn't entirely sure that he'd want to learn about all that had passed since he somehow travelled through time and ended up at Hogwarts, but he supposed that he'd need to. If nothing else, it would help him to understand his new surroundings, and help to confirm the overall reality of the situation. "And perhaps I'll learn something about this magic, although I am not sure about the idea of 'magic spells' as weapons. Steel is already fit for the job." Magic as a weapon didn't seem unfeasible, just ridiculous- even if people could use magic, Batiatus was a lanista, and believed that the art of combat should be one of flesh and steel. Not that he was personally adverse to learning something which could give him an unexpected advantage. Magic just wasn't for the arena.
