Finally, Jenna cleared her mind, wanting to get any and every distractions out. If she faltered, then this would be for naught. She glanced around the training room, wanting to get a good picture of where to start and where to end. When she finally made a mental picture of it all, she crouched down, before sprinting forward. Her arms pumped at her side and for once, her mind was finally clear. This was one of her favorite things to do; when running, there was time to actually think clearly, this task was mindless, though it was a beautiful kind of mindless task.

The thudding blended in with the sound of her footsteps thudding onto the ground. As she ran nearer to the person at the other end, the stranger became clear to see. It was the red-headed girl from yesterday, this time dressed in all black. She was throwing knives at people-shaped targets on the wall, and from the multiple knives sticking out in the center, she was obviously good. She seemed to be in a trance, almost as mindless as Jenna was currently, but as Jenna approached, the girl glanced over at her for a second, her eyes an extremely light hazel, before looking back at the target, her throws never losing their steady beat and accuracy, though now the girl looked vaguely pensive
For a moment, Jenna and the girl's eyes met, though in the next second, they looked away. He stride stuttered for a moment, missing a small beat. Though in a second, her rhythm started up again. Just a small blip in this confident stride. Then everything was perfect again. Even though she had turned, talking a left on her jog, she could still feel the other girl's presence. And it irritated her. --- Finally, after twenty minutes of jogging, Jenna slowed to a stop. She wiped her forehead, her sides heaving as she gulped in air. Oh, how she missed this; true, it was fun sitting in an air-conditioned library, pouring over book and book, though there was an almost whimsical feeling of just jogging around. She walked over to the corner, clasping her hands above her head, her cheeks pink.
"Hey." A sudden voice said. Over walked the red-headed girl from her corner. Obviously she had finished practicing, and was regarding Jenna with a raised eyebrow and a curious look. Her walk was confident and her hips swayed with a natural swagger as she approached. Her boots clicked on the floor as she spoke again, but she walked right past Jenna to the exit. "You may want to put that running skill of yours to good use and hightail it back to your quarters. The first trial begins in a few minutes, and Chase is not a patient type of guy." She said over her shoulder as she continued walking. "Wouldn't want you to end up faction less, now, would we?"
Jenna glanced at the girl, surprise appearing then disappearing in a moment. The comment had surprised her; she had been expecting that the two would ignore each other until one of them left the other. She had been quite alright with that thought, though it seemed like the other girl had different ideas. "Yeah, thanks," she muttered, not bothering to raise her voice. Despite her hesitance to leave, Jenna couldn't help but feel a little panicked at the thought of her becoming factionless. That was not how she wanted this day to start, or end. Quickly, she jogged after the girl, trying to get to her room, without it seeming like Jenna was following her.

However, other than what the girl already said, she made no more conversation with Jenna, nor did she glance back at her when they exited. The girl soon disappeared when Jenna neared her own quarters. It was only then that the girl glanced at her, her hazel eyes meeting Jenna's for an instant, before she vanished into the halls. Inside the quarters, everyone was busily getting dressed. "There you are! Chase came by just a minute ago! Where were you?" Anders asked when she entered, halfway dressed himself
Jenna raised an eyebrow at the girl, only to turn around and stare at Anders with the exact same face. She covered her eyes with her hand, glowering at him. "Allergic to clothes, are you?" She dryly asked, turning her head away from him. "If you must know, I was just training. Ran into her-" She jutted her thumb out where the girl had left- "and walked back."
Anders quickly dressed while glancing at where he had seen a glimpse of the girl. "Hey, isn't that the girl from yesterday? Huh. And you were training? Well, you'll have a head-start compared to us then." He chuckled. Steph and Tucker soon joined his side as Chase walked back in eventually. "Alright, come on you scuzz balls. It's time to see if you can fight, which I doubt. Grab something to eat and then meet in the training room in ten minutes." He ordered, not caring if half of the others weren't fully dressed yet. He walked out, and Anders and the others who were ready hurried to the cafeteria to get something in their stomachs
Jenna was about to say something, though closed her mouth with a click. She felt like she had to dignify her actions, even though Anders had said not a word against it. A frown grew as she heard Chase's voice. Looked like this was the start of her new life. She better get used to it... Jenna trailed after the group, keeping a pace where she was still with them, though at the end of it.

After everyone grabbed a bite to eat, they rushed to the training room. Chase was waiting for them inside, along with someone else. It was the girl. Again. When everyone lined up, and the boys had finished gawking, Chase spoke up. "This is Aleksandra. She'll br assiting me with evaluating the bunch of you through your training. For your first task you'll be learning how to fight. You'll duel each other once we give you the basics to see where you stand in the rankings." He said. Then he started to pick out some of the transfers to go with him. Aleksandra picked out a few too. "You.... you.... you.." she trailed, picking Steph. Then she looked at Jenna and smirked slightly in recognition and amusement. "You." She added before moving on and finishing her choosing.
As Jenna licked off the rest of crumbs from her toast, she trailed behind the group. It had been so loud and rushed, that she had barely any time to figure out where she was supposed to go. Jenna frowned as the girl appeared in her vision. Though she had a small feeling they would be running into one another, it was a little irksome that she kept on popping up in her life. Her frown tightened as Aleksandra pointed to her, though she didn't raise her voice in objection. Resigned, Jenna slowly followed at her trainer, a little worried as to what was to come.

Alessandra stood each one of her group up next to a dummy. "Alright, listen up. This here, my little tykes, is a punching bag." She said with a somewhat mocking and crooked smirk. "Though you may already know that, what you don't know is that this is your new best friend, and your worst enemy. Now, I want you all to do a simple task. Hit it. While you do, I'm going to walk among you and correct your form. Start." She said. Some hesitated, but others began to hit on the bags as she commanded, most with pretty crappy form
Jenna raised her eyebrow at Aleksandra, though said nothing. As she walked up to her apparently "new best friend", she readied herself. Her legs were bent, her muscles taut. She swung her left foot out, smacking it against the dummy. It was obvious it had been ages since she had last practiced, as she bent down, massaging her foot. She must've hit it wrong, or a little too strong; her foot throb as she rubbed it, sucking a small breath in.

True to her word, Aleksandra went through and helped fix the transfers' forms. She eventually made her way down to Jenna and watched her for a bit. "Tighten your stance a bit and use you full body in your attacks. You don't have enough muscle on your own to just whale on it. Use speed to your advantage. You'll eventually develope calluses too, so it won't hurt much." She said
Jenna gritted her teeth, staggering to her feet again. Though she knew Aleksandra was trying to help, she couldn't help but feel irritated; it seemed like Aleksandra was nitpicking what she was doing. Shoving it down, she gave her trainer a tense nod. She tried again, this time trying to tighten her stance a little more. She hopped from foot to foot, trying to gauge how strong she would need to be to do something without hurting herself. Finally, she lashed her good foot out, trying to hit it with her arch.

Aleksandra watched her keenly and gave a small nod and a small smile. "Better, but be careful where you hit with your foot. Keep up the good work." She said before walking off again, turning her attention back to the others again, going back down the line to see if they actually listened to her or not. Nitpicky or not, the girl certainly didn't seem to be about to give Jenna special attention for her running skill or decent form. In fact, she seemed to look over all of the transfers with a predator like gaze, sizing them up to ether be slaughtered or salvaged
Letting out a grunt, she grimaced at Aleksandra's turned back. Jenna narrowed her eyes, turning back to the dummy. She had wanted to at least get further from the rest of the crowd, though it seemed like she was lagging. Clenching her fist, she sucked in a breath of air. She needed to focus. Closing her eyes, Jenna allowed the sounds of the other people punching the stuffed dummy to wash over her. This was all about letting everything else do whatever and focus on what was ahead. She kicked her foot against the dummy, making it sway a bit back and forth. It was progress, yes, though it was slow progress none the less.

Back!))
For a good amount of time, Aleksandra allowed this to continue, simply watching and dropping advice here and there. However, after a good twenty minutes, she started calling people out in pairs. She took them over to a small platform and set them on either side. "Alright, scrubs, here's the rules. You fight until either I say stop, one of you forfeits, or one of you gets knocked out. This duel is for learning, so keep that in mind." She said, glancing between her two victims with narrowed eyes. Both, some nameless recruits, gulped and nodded. She smiled slightly, obviously pleased about not needing to repeat herself, before stepping off the platform and nodding. "Begin." The two were hesitant at first, but gradually stepped towards each other and began to duel. Since they were relatively new, it wasn't super exciting to watch
Jenna stood in the back of the crowd, leaning against the wall, he foot propped up against it. Other than her shoulders falling and rising quickly, there was no other movement that showed she was feeling exhausted. She wiped the back of her hand along her sweaty forehead, following the two fighter's motions with narrowed eyes.
