Sven would never admit it to anyone, but he was nervous. This was a big deal, and it was happening right now. His name got called out, and he got up, wiping his sweaty hands on his pants as he walked in.
“Sven Gold.” He said loud and clear as he reached the gamemakers. The headgamemaker nodded, and Sven turned around. He had secretly put eveything he needed for his presentation in one of the bushes at the camouflage area, so he wouldn’t have to loose time on that. He quickly grabbed all the things he needed, metal wires, tin cans, everything he needed for a smoke bomb. It took him two minutes to build one. He had done it a thousand times before, and he was more than ready. He was in great shape. Sven worked best under presure so he walked back to the gamemakers. “Can I have all the intructors you have?” he asked, after which ten combat instructors came out and took their places. “Grab your weapon of choice, everyone.” Sven said. He quickly grabbed his self-made wooden katana, which he also had made previous of the presentation, before returning. “Made this myself, just so you know” he winked at the gamemakers. he wasn’t even sure if what he was doing was completely legal, but it didn’t matter anymore now. “Are you all ready?” he asked the instructors, to which they all nodded. Some holding wooden spears, other wooden swords. Even one with an axe. “Please, dont hold back.” Sven smirked, before pulling a pin and throwing the smoke momb at the group of instructors, who had surrounded Sven. A thick white smoke filled the room, and Sven pulled out one of his bandanas, putting it over his nose and mouth. “Let’s dance!” he said before walking straight into the smoke. There was complete silence. Only small coughs every now and then. he could barely see, but he had trained for this for so long. Sven used his senses as well as he could, especially his ears were important right now. Hearing moving sounds from the instructors, he slowly started to walk around. He was loosing time, already fifteen seconds had passed and the smoke wouldn’t last for too much longer. Sven took one last deep breath before starting to quickly move around, not making a sound. As he moved through the smoke, he started to take out every instructor as quick as possible, which went very well. Loud groans were heard as Sven slammed his wooden katana into the heads and ribs of the instructors. Only one was left. The biggest one. Probably the strongest. The one with the axe. Sven took off his shirt and spinned it around, making all the smoke that was still left, dissapear.
He stood face to face to the big man, who was slightly confused. Sven chuckled at the way he looked at the other instructors and how fast they were taken out without him even seeing it. The man regained his confidence, and prepared himself to fight, holding the big axe with two hands. Sven walked forward, taking off his bandana and holding his katana with one hand, pointing it to the ground next to him. The man grunted and jumped forward, smashing the axe down hard, not fast enough. Sven took a swift step to the right as he twisted, the axe missing him by an inch. He punched the man in the back, just to piss him off. Sven focussed on the man again, who quickly tried to regain posture. He now swung his axe at Sven again, only this time aiming for his ribs. Sven quickly ducked, the axe moving over him. He took another step forward, flipped his katana and hit the man on the chin with the handle. The big instuctor fell on his back, motionless.
Sven smiled as he looked around, watching all the instructors still laying on the ground as they moaned, grabbing their bruses or checking if they were still able to move all of their body parts.
He turned towards the gamemakers, who were silently staring at Sven. “Are you not antertained?” Sven asked with a big smirk on his face, throwing away his katana. “Well there’s more of that where that came from. I hope you enjoyed the show, enjoy your meals and good luck with scoring all the other tributes.” Sven told the gamemakers, before turning around and leaving the training center.
