TRAINING SESSIONS

Immediately after Thomas sat down in the waiting room, he heard a voice saying, "Combatant number 23 please report for private session."

"Good luck", Thomas said. After what seemed like hours Terni came back.

"I don't think I did so well." Terni said nervously.

"Combatant number 24 please report for private session" the voice said. Thomas took a deep breath and walked into the private training room. The private training room was composed of a large steel chamber with crates of weapons scattered all around. At the end of the room was what looked like a disk fighting practice range. Thomas ran towards the end of the room and the red holograms were instantly activated.

Thomas jumped into the air, avoiding one of the holograms disks and threw his own, de-rezzing two holograms. The remaining four charged at him and Thomas split his disk into two, blocked the holograms attacks and thrust out de-rezzing the remaining ones. Next he grabbed a light sword and activated a hologram on a high difficulty level. After a three minute battle, the hologram was de-rezzed.

Thomas looked at the gamemakers box. At first there was silence, then they started to clap.

"Very good!" CLU said "You will be most entertaining in the games. All right, you are dismissed."
