Tris POV
By the end of the ten minutes, the only initiate not in the room is Rose. We begin training without her. "In Dauntless, we have three stages of training. First stage, which starts today, will be physical. Your bodies will be pushed to the breaking point. You will be ranked throughout your training. The ranks will determine in what order you choose your jobs when training is over and what jobs are available to you". I look to Tobias to pick up. As he opens his mouth to speak, the training room door opens. Rose comes in with hair and makeup done to perfection. As she jogs to get in line with the other initiates, I step toward her. "I see you decided to grace us with your presence. You are 10 minutes late." Rose looks at me and says,in a sort of 'duh' tone, "Well, I obviously had to fix myself after the stunt you and the other trainers pulled this morning." I look at her shocked. "You are to be here on time. No exceptions. No one cares how you look. What matters is your performance in training. Ten laps, starting now. One for every minute you were late." I snap the last bit at her. She needs to understand this is serious. Rose looks over my shoulder at Tobias. I turn around to look at him as well. He says to Rose, "You heard her. Get going!"
By the time Rose is done with laps, we're ready to start our demonstration. We start with knife throwing. Tobias turns to me. "Six, would you please stand in front of the target?" Though his face and tone are monotone, I can see in his eyes that he's amused. We like to start training with something to really get their attention. I nod with a slight smirk and stand in front of the target. Leah shrieks in concern, " You're not going to throw them at her, are you?!" I chuckle and say, "Don't worry Leah. I'll be fine. Although, Four may not be if he-" before I can finish, the first knife is thrown. It lands by my leg. The initiates gasp and Leah shrieks in fear. As the second one is thrown, I look at Tobias. "If you hit my ear you will get your ass kicked."
As the last knife hits the board, I feel a stinging sensation very familiar to me. I sigh and mutter to myself, "Every year. Never fails."
