The next day Lea woke up and got ready for training. All the training outfits in her dresser were the same. A pair of tight leggings and a T-shirt with a red number 4 at the side. When she came out of her room, breakfast was already served and everybody was already sitting at the table. 

"Now guys, you get 2 and a half days to train, after that are the individual assessments in front of the game makers. I recommend that you train together, you guys are the same age, were in the same year in the training academy, you know what the other person is going through. Sticking together is really important, it gives you a real advantage" Tyler said

"Why is it an advantage?" Lea asked. 

"Well, in situations like this, it's always good to have someone watching your back, If you don't care whether your district partner lives or dies, well then you are all on your own, cause all of the other Districts don't care about you. If it's not them, they would want their district partner to win," Tyler said. 

"Are 1 and 2 going to be a big threat?" Louis asked. 

"One is going to be a big threat, especially the boy and they are also the same age and are really good friends. They've been brought up together and know how the other person fights and how they think. The kids from Two don't know each other so they won't have each other's backs and that makes them weak. It's not a bad idea to start with the careers, but if one of the tributes of one dies, make sure you get away." Tyler said

"And don't forget to also focus on the survival skills and about different kinds of muts that could be present in the arena. Best of luck to both of you," Tyler said as Lea and Louis made their way to the training center. 

Once, they got to the training center they went to the weapon section cause they were most likely to find 1 and 2 there. 

"And who do we have here, Im Jacob, District 1 and this is Ava," Jacob said

"I'm Lea and this is Louis District 4,"  Lea said. 

"Well, 4, you guys look like you can fight, I'm very eager to see what you can do, I am Charles and this is Mia my district partner from 2," Charles said. 

"Show us what you got 4," Ava said to Lea

Lea took a belt of knives from the table and put it around her waist, she threw the knives at the dummies and they landed straight in their hearts each time. 

"Not bad, Lea. I really thought you would be the weak link of the team as you are to only career who didn't volunteer. But I must say I'm very impressed. " Charles said. 

Lea and Louis, stayed at the weapon section a little while longer, observing the other careers. If they were going to be allies, they must observe them. 

Jacob was also very good with knives, he threw them in the heart almost each time. But he was not as good as Lea. Ava on the other hand was really good with a bow. The District 2 tributes knew how to fight as well, but didn't stand a chance against the ones of 1 and them of course. Lea was also very impressed with Louis, he was very good with a spear and not so bad at knife throwing either. 

After a few hours, Lea and Louis decided it was time to go over to the survival station, to practice some survival skills. 

"Going already four?" Mia said.  

"Louis and I already know we can use weapons, so we are going to work with some things that we don't know how to do yet, see you later guys," Lea said. 

The careers stayed at the weapon station, that is often what got them killed, not their arrogance, well, that played a factor as well but most of the time, they got killed because of a lack of survival skills. They knew how to fight but that was about it.
