Part of Animalia's Foreign Exchange Program was a mandatory tour of Animalia after conversion or uplifting. Fortunately, Elly didn't mind it, but the most interesting part of the tour was Claw Coliseum. Fortunately, the weekend before she started at WSA was a good time to learn more about Claw Coliseum, and Animalia Ambassadoria was more than happy to help her around.

While most of the clothing at the "Fitness Boutique" were a little embarrassing to Ellie, she was able to get herself a decent top and workout shorts.
Warm-up was rather amusing, especially because some "peepers" were doused with cold water just before the aerobics part. While there was some fatigue from that, the weightlifting classes were a bit more intense.
Things were a bit more surprising at the weightlifting class. Apparently it wasn't uncommon to accidently bend barbell bars out of shape. There was also indoor track and field events, but what there weren't were events like shotput, discus, hammer throw, or javelin.

What was most surprising for Elly, at least, was simply the fact that everyone in Animalia seemed to like her. Back home in Russia, she would count herself lucky if she didn't get three cutting comments on either her curves or her height by the girls at school per day. But in Animalia, she was getting a lot of better treatment, already much better than she was anticipating when she arrived.
Because of the positive treatment at Claw Coliseum, Elly was already looking forward to her first day at WSA.
