It was supposed to be another day of training in the career academy, until the training instructors forced your cohort to train outside.. while it was raining heavily, may I add.

The sight of multiple raindrops falling onto the ground made multiple students groan in annoyance. “Alright that’s enough.” The head training instructor shushed, causing the entire field to go silent. “The Capitol has generously provided us information about the upcoming 74th Hunger Games, so I advise you all to pay attention.”

During their ridiculously long lecture, you learned that the arena would be based off a forest, which explains why you had to train outside. After the trainer finished speaking, the cohort was separated into groups of two, following an intense game of tug of war.

With you falling flat on your face the moment it started.

As the laughter of your classmates filled your ears, you were gently pulled up, by nobody other than Cato Hadley himself. “Nothing to see here.” He said, glaring at anyone still laughing.
