Y/n's POV
Minho took me to the deadheads and told me to throw the knives at a tree. I pulled one of the throwing knives from my belt and held it in my hand, weighing it from side to side. Breathing deeply I picked my target and threw the knife. It went hurdling through the air, handle over the blade.

I heard a thunk as it hit the tree. I couldn't think of anything to say so I turned to Minho for his reaction.

"Remind me never to piss you off" he said with a surprised stare that I'm sure matched my own.

"Ha yea" I said and went to collect my blade.

"Ok so we know you can throw a knife which probably means you can throw an axe" He scoffed. He was surprised when I had picked the axe it was such a violent thing. "So let's try some hand to hand combat" he said taking a stance that I copied.

"Good" He said. "Now fold your hand into a fist like this and then strike like that" Minho said demonstrating the correct actions.
"The only real way to learn is to do so when your ready take your first shot" Minho said stepping back into his stance.

"You know I was taught combat already, I'm not completely hopeless" I said giving him a look of warning.

"Who taught you?" Minho asked a little offended he wasn't the first to teach me.

"Jasmine did" I said a little softer at the memory of us together.

"Oh" he said not sure what to do.

I took the stance and continued to train. I punched Minho's upper arm making him drop his defence and took this as opportunity to kick him in the gut.
He stumbled back a few paces and was coughing slightly.

"Not fair I wasn't ready" Minho said once he had finally stopped coughing.

"Sure sure" I said laughing sarcastically.

Minho threw a punch that I blocked. He grabbed my arm and threw me over his back and I hit the hard forest floor. Minho stood next to me grinning.

I wasn't having it. I wasn't going to lose, the last thing this boy needs is the ego boost that comes with being victorious.
I grabbed onto his ankle and rolled my body onto his leg pulling him down onto the ground. My foot was putting slight pressure on his neck and I hugged onto his ankle so he couldn't wriggle out of my grasp.

"Alight you win, get off" He taped my leg letting me know he gave up.

"So you can fight and defend yourself that's good but we're going out into the maze and I need to know you can run" Minho said brushing off dirt and leaves that had stuck to his clothes.
"So follow me and try to keep up" He said with a a sly smile.

"Easy" I said full of confidence.

Minho took off sprinting out of the deadheads without giving me a warning.

"Hey not fair, no head starts!" I called out as I ran after him. I heard him laugh a little before speeding up again.

I got out of the deadheads and saw him jogging along one of the walls. I quickly caught up to him and slowed to a jog that matched his pace. We did two laps around the whole Glade and I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it.

"Alright let's go get some water and then sprints are next" Minho said changing course for the kitchen.

"What?!, there's more?" I asked hurriedly.

"What you think can't handle it?" Minho asked teasingly.

"I mean, what, there's more, Yay 😀" I said with fake excitement.

Minho let out a little chuckle and walked over to Frypan and I followed eager to sit down.

"Hey Minho, Hey Y/n" Fry said in his usual cheerful tone.

"Hmmm hi" I said grunting with exhaustion resting my head on the table.

Minho smiled my way and then turned back to Frypan.

"Could we have some water Fry" Minho asked.

Fry put his hands on his hips and looked at Minho with a pointed look. "Sure you know where the glasses and water are" he said.
"Now Y/n do you want anything to eat you look pale I'm sure some food would help" Fry asked in a caring way.

"Really?" I asked lifting my head up with excitement.

"Of course how about some passion fruit and pomegranate salad?" Fry asked pulling the bowl from the fridge.

"That would be amazing" I said.

"Hey!, what about me?" Minho asked offended he wasn't offered any food.

"Nope you can wait for lunch just like everyone else" Fry said to Minho with a cheeky smile on his face.

Minho sat next to me and placed a full glass of water on the table next to the salad for me.
We sat and talked as we drank our water and when Frypan wasn't looking I let Minho have some of the salad.

Minho was timing my sprints and frequently giving me tips on how to 'run as good as him' when a blaring alarm rang throughout the Glade. The noise seemed to bounce off the walls. This monthly occurrence was one I was familiar with.

Minho and I looked at each other with anticipation.

"Race you!" I said pushing him back and got a head start.
