A lot of the time, Christian trained privately with his father and older sister. But it was a good idea, Christian's father thought, for him to get experience sparring with a wide variety of people, since everyone had different fighting styles. So Christian did occasionally go to the training center for sparring practice.

Christian was wearing a slight smirk on his face. Smirking was really the closest he got to smiling these days. He'd won his last match quite definitively, putting him in a good mood.

He was currently sitting to the side, watching the current pairs sparring and waiting for his next go. He hated waiting, and had a very hard time watching the others. He knew there was a lot to be learned from watching but he was the type who learned best by doing and really did not like sitting still. He just wanted to be one of the people on the mats. Quickly growing distracted, Christian glanced around at the others sitting around waiting, wondering who he would be fighting next.

Today was a day for sparring. Oftentimes, when I decided that I wanted to spend time sparring with someone, I would spar with Winnie up on the roof of the place we rented together. It was a good time, of course, but there were times where I felt like it was at least somewhat necessary to focus my career training on other people. Besides, I wouldn't always be fighting against Winnie. If I ended up in the Games, I needed to be a bit more aware of what to expect from other people.

Not everyone in District Four was an intimidating fighter. Hell, a lot of them I'd already fought and beaten in sparring matches. Today, however, I encountered someone I'd never fought before. Actually, to be perfectly clear, I had never even met this guy before, or seen him around the training center. My guess was that he spent a lot of his time career training in private. There were plenty of people who did that, so it honestly wouldn't have surprised me if he revealed that to be the case.

Although, I wasn't sure how much I'd learn from this guy in a sparring match. Who knew if he was even the talkative type? I supposed I would end up finding out one way or another, though. So, I walked up to the mat, and looked at him.

"Ready?" I asked, but I didn't wait for a response. As soon as I was signaled by the trainer that I could start fighting, I did. I threw a punch toward his midsection right away.
