Y/n pov:

Where we had breakfast was simple, tables in neat rows occupying one end of the "dining area" and a kitchen in the other. Frypan made us scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, it was kind of ironic how his name matched his job. I sat at a table with Newt, Gally, Alby, Winston, Zart, Ben and Minho.

Afterwards, Newt and I walked to the centre of the glade and waited for the keepers to arrive. When they did, my tests were to begin.

"Okay... so what I want you to start with is your running." Newt said.        "You'll run against Ben. Stand inline with Alby and run as fast as you can to Winston."

I lined up with Ben who wished me good luck and readied to run. "On your marks!" Minho yelled. "Get set! GO!!!"

I ran and ran. I ran as fast as I possibly could but I was no match for Ben, he was too fast. Eventually I reached Winston and he gave me a high-five. "There is no way that you guys do that every day." I said to Ben and Minho.

"Well only some have the gift." Minho replied smugly.

"Fair enough." I puffed. "What's next?"

"Let's see how many small logs you can carry. Your strength is required here." Newt answered.

Alby gently piled the logs into my arms and after about 8, I dropped them all. Luckily I missed mine and alby's feet. "You're actually pretty strong, I couldn't get past 5." Winston congratulated.

"Alright, we've covered the main 2 tests," newt spoke. "Is there anything you don't want to do?"

I thought for a moment before finally answering. "I definitely don't want to be a slicer, sorry Winston, and I don't think I can handle blood and bad injuries too well."

"That leaves the gardeners." Newt concluded.

"I can live with that." I agreed.

"Welcome to the track-hoe team, y/n." Zart welcomed.
