The answer

"[District 12, Jacob Barber!]"

With an arrogant and indifferent stride, Jacob made his way to the training room for his private session with the Gamenakers. His confidence was evident in every movement, as if he was convinced of his own superiority. He entered the room, his eyes scanning the space, assessing the environment with a challenging gaze.

The Gamenakers, with their serious expressions and piercing eyes, stood alert, ready to test Jacob's skills. They showed no reaction to his entrance, but their unwavering gazes made it clear that they were prepared to subject him to rigorous scrutiny.

Unfazed by their presence, Jacob made a formal bow as if accustomed to such encounters. His defiant posture didn't waver for a moment as he announced his name with a confident and proud voice.

"Jacob Barber, champion of the previous Hunger Games from District 12!"

Silence filled the room for a moment as the Gamenakersevaluated Jacob with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. They knew better than to judge solely based on appearances and were determined to objectively assess the abilities and potential of each participant. Some were interested to see if his previous perfect score was truly deserving.

The private training session was an opportunity for Jacob to prove his worth, to show them that he was deserving of respect and recognition. He was determined to overcome any challenge they presented, to leave a lasting impression on the minds of the Gamenakers.

But this time, Jacob was about to make a different kind of impression, something that no one expected from him.

Jacob stood before the Gamenakers, aware that their evaluation of his performance was a necessary step on his path to victory. However, he knew that little could change from last year's evaluation. Only a few months had passed since then, and while his strength and experience had increased, his essence remained the same.

With calm and confidence, Jacob reminded the Gamenakersto consider his progress since his last evaluation. He reminded them that he had dedicated countless hours to training and improving his skills, demonstrating his commitment and determination to achieve excellence in the Games.

But before the Gamenakerscould initiate their evaluation, Jacob proposed telling them a story. He wanted to share a profound reflection on the motivations and sacrifices one was willing to make for those they loved.

...

"Imagine two men." Said Jacob, capturing the Gamenakers' attention. "The first is willing to sacrifice his wife to save the world. He sees through the darkness and despair, believing that difficult decisions are necessary to ensure the survival of humanity."

"The second man, on the other hand, is willing to sacrifice the entire world to save his wife. For him, the life of his beloved is more valuable than anything else in this world. He is willing to confront everything and everyone to keep her safe and see her happy."

Jacob paused for a moment, allowing his words to settle in the room. His gaze reflected unwavering determination and deep love for Katniss.

"This story." Jacob continued, "Reflects what I am willing to do for Katniss. There are no limits or obstacles I won't overcome to keep her safe and ensure her happiness. No matter who stands in our way, no matter how powerful they may be, I will eliminate them without hesitation."

The Gamenakerslistened attentively, captivated by the intensity of Jacob's words. It was evident that his determination and loyalty to Katniss were unyielding.

"My enemy doesn't matter. They can be many, they can be powerful, but if they threaten Katniss' happiness and security, I won't hesitate to eliminate them one by one. I won't allow anyone to harm her, not even the entire world."

Silence filled the room as the Gamenakersabsorbed Jacob's words. It was clear that his determination was genuine, that his love for Katniss was an unstoppable force driving him to face any obstacle.

"I am here to fight, to protect Katniss and ensure she comes out of these Games alive and free. I will do everything in my power to make her happy, even if it means facing unimaginable dangers and sacrificing everything."

Jacob stared at the Gamenakers, his gaze defiant yet full of conviction. He was willing to face any challenge, to overcome any obstacle, to ensure Katniss' well-being.

"I am alive because of her, and believe me, I would die for her..."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm ready to put an end to this ridiculous evaluation. But remember, whatever test you present to me, whatever challenge you impose on me, I will face it with the same determination and passion that I have shared with you."

Jacob prepared for the evaluation, aware that he had made it clear his unwavering commitment to Katniss and his determination to protect her at all costs. He was determined to prove his worth and ensure that his love and loyalty resonated in every step he took on his path to glory.

...

President Snow, from his position of power in the Capitol, watched with interest the story shared by Jacob during his evaluation. His cold and calculating gaze hinted that he had grasped the underlying message in the young tribute's words.

He immediately understood that Jacob was sending a clear warning, a direct threat against the Capitol and all those who stood in his way to victory. It was a bold and defiant statement, a promise of resistance and unwavering love towards Katniss.

President Snow murmured to himself, acknowledging Jacob's bravery and determination. "He's a good man..." He whispered, revealing a hint of respect. However, his face quickly darkened, aware of the threat Jacob represented to the established system.

"No matter how noble his intention..." Snow continued in a low voice. "No matter how much he fights for her, in these games, sooner or later, I'll have to bury him alongside Katniss."

President Snow understood that Jacob was a force to be reckoned with, a formidable opponent who could not be underestimated. He was aware that Jacob's love and loyalty towards Katniss could be his greatest strength, but also his greatest weakness.

To Snow, the Capitol represented absolute control, supreme authority over the districts and their inhabitants. Any threat to that control had to be eradicated, even if it meant confronting a tribute as determined as Jacob.

"These games are a trial by fire, Mr. Barber..." reflected President Snow. "And although he seems like a good man, I will do whatever is necessary to protect the supremacy of the Capitol. Jacob will meet an inevitable fate in these arenas, no matter the cost."

With a sinister smile and the certainty that his machinery of oppression was in full operation, President Snow prepared to orchestrate a plan that would ensure his dominance over the games and his ability to control the tributes.

He knew he would face formidable challenges, but he was willing to do whatever it took to keep power in his hands. Jacob's threat only fueled his determination to crush any attempt at rebellion or defiance.

President Snow contemplated his strategy with coldness, knowing that the fate of Jacob and Katniss was sealed in these arenas. The battle for freedom and survival loomed, and he was ready to deploy all his resources to ensure that the Capitol prevailed.
