38 BBY
A few minutes before eleven during their jedi philosophy lessons the younglings feel master Nagia entering the room. Anakin wonders at the reason for her being here as their lesson will take another half an hour. Still he also has to wonder when they will get their first lightsaber training as he believes that now that they are four years old they will start with lightsaber training. His entire group has been excited about it as a new year of learning has started today. The last two days where spend the celebrating of a new year. They are alway free of lessons on those days which they spend playing and relaxing. He had spent some time with other younglings in the room of a thousand fountains playing. He also enjoyed swimming with the older younglings, padawans and masters. It was one of the things he enjoyed mostly of the two free days.
"Younglings, as you have noticed master Nagia is here. She will now take you your first lightsaber training. I'm sure you wonder why this lesson doesn't take as long as you're used to. The reason for that is that you have learned enough that the lessons can be shorter from now on and you need an hour of light saber training. Now that this lesson has ended you go with master Nagia to your next lesson" Master Poof says and mentions for the group to move to where master Nagia is waiting for then. The younglings do so and are soon on their way to the training rooms where they arrive after a five minute walk. In the room Anakin sees master Giiett waiting for them.
"Hello, master. I have brought you the next group for lightsaber training" master Nagia says when she walks into the room.
"Thank you, master Nagia, for bringing the younglings here. Younglings, go sit on the ground in halve a circle" master Giiett says and waits for master Nagia to have left the room to start with the lesson.
"Now, before you start to use a training saber we need to make some rules" Master Giiett begins and takes his light saber from his belt "each of the training sabers is a smaller and weaker version of mine. So you don't put your eye above the exhaust nor point it to anyone else. That can cause serious injuries. You will get one warning as long as no one gets wounded or you will no longer be welcome in my class for the rest of the week or the full next week. Am I Understood?"
"Yes, master" the younglings answer and they all grab a training saber from the wall behind master Giiett when the master mentions for them to do so. Anakin is careful to avoid breaking the rules master Giiett explained just yet to them as he wants to follow the lessons. He can tell that his clan mates are doings the same.
"Go stand around the room while at the same time making sure that you have enough space to move. An arm wide is enough" Master Giiett says and when he sees confuses looks he smiles and explains
"Spread your arms and when you don't touch each other arms, you have enough space to move"
The lesson is spent with instructions on how to handle a lightsaber and explanations on the Body Target Zones though he says that that they won't have to use it for some time. How long that will be is not known to the younglings. They are also taught the ready stances on which further lessons will be built.
After the lesson the day goes on as normal. Still most of the younglings, Anakin included, keep expecting another chance in their lessons which does not happen.
A few months later Anakin and his clan mates are talking before their jedi instructor arrives to teach the next lesson. They discuss the traditions they saw last week which are still a major point of conversation as it made them better understand the lessons and showed them how important it is to really understand the traditions. One such tradition was a knighting ceremony where they could see the knight give his padawan braid to his former master to show respect and gratitude. This morning master Nagia had told them about the situation on Shadda-Bi-Boran. The planet was destroyed when the star became a supernova. It killed all the people as they could not live somewhere else. It saddened the whole clan but also explained the pain they had felt in the force. That pain was from the dead of all the people who were on the planet when the star became a supernova. Those who managed to get off planet died separately and thus they had not felt their deads. Anakin looks up from his musing when he feels master Rancisis entering the room.
"Good afternoon, younglings. Today we will go on a trip through the temple during the lesson" master Rancisis says and the younglings move in line behind him. They do so as that is always expected from them when they are walking through the temple. When everyone is standing in line master Rancisis starts moving through the temple and occasionally asks a question to see if the younglings know where they currently are or have been. Anakin makes sure to pay close attention to where they are moving so that he knows how to find the areas on his own. It is difficult and he gets confused from time to time. Thus he decides to go on trips on his own after bedtime so that he can learn the layout of the temple better. When they arrive before the archive master Rancisis tells them
"This is the archive. Inside the archive there will be no running nor screaming. It is a place of learning. We will be entering the archive through the First Hall. Here you can find records of philosophy, manuscripts of republic history and personal journals of many jedi. I want you to remember this and what you can find in the other halls as you will need to know where to find records for any research you will have to do for your current and future classes. In the beginning we will help you with finding everything but there will be a time where you will have to do it on your own. So if you know where to find information on your own it will help you a lot"
Master Rancisis then moves into the hall. Anakin can see statues along the side. He wonders who these people are, but suspects that that are other jedi based on the clothing he can see them wearing. But as to why they would have statues Anakin doesn't know. He also sees that beneath each statue is a plate with writing on it. Walking towards one Anakin sees that it show the name and some of the things the jedi has done. He appears from the information to be an important person. Looking back to where his clan was Anakin sees that they have walked further and are waiting there. He can see master Rancisis moving towards him.
"Don't wander from your clan, youngling" master Rancisis scold gently and takes Anakin's hand in his to take him back to the rest of the clan. He knows that this is bound to happen a few times today as younglings are naturally curious and he hopes he can minimize it as much as possible. When he gets back to the clan, who he watched through the force so that he knows if another youngling walks away from their clan, he places Anakin back on the place he has been waking at before. Then they can finally move to the Rotunda. They arrive there a short while later. Master Rancisis moves the clan to the middle of the left side of the Rotunda as seen from the first hall where he says
"Now we are at the Rotunda you all can see the entire archive. The Rotunda is the central point of the archive from where you can get access to all the halls. The hall to my left is the second hall and here you can find mathematical and engineering science data. Also you can find the floor plans of the galaxy's government buildings and other points of interest here. Another thing you can find there is the information on temple activities" master Rancisis says while pointing the mentioned hall "Opposite of the first hall you find the third hall. Here you can find data about geography and cultures of the Galactic republic. Also this hall contains the starmaps of interstellar and planetary regions and detailed analysis on specific civilizations. At the end of this hall are turbolifts to the analysis wing and library. Opposite the second hall you can find the fourth hall where you can find research data about every know specie of flora and fauna. The second and fourth hall also have access points to the holocron vaults, which can only be entered by a member of the high council"
Master Rancisis looked around the clan and sees that not all younglings have been paying attention to what he said. He then says
"I can understand that it is a lot of information and that you don't understand what some of the words I used mean. That you will learn in time. If you have any questions about the archive you can ask them now"
"Is there a place where we can work here? Erigian asks. This question provokes a lot of interest among the younglings as they are all curious to the answer. This will allow them to look for more information if they don't understand something and the masters don't have time to explain it.
"There are study halls here for research that takes days to finish. When you go on missions with your master after being chosen as a padawan, you will get mission briefings in these rooms from the chief librarian. You won't be allowed to use these rooms until you are thirteen years old and then you need permission form your master or an instructor to get access. The places where you can do that always are the working areas in the halls" master Rancisis explains. For the next five minutes he answers other questions the younglings asks before he continues with his trip. They have more places to look at and will have to be back in class before their next lessons starts. During the remainder of the trip Anakin makes sure to pay attention to where they are going so that he can find his path later on his own.
The next day
After breakfast padawan Ninala is walking them to their first lesson of the day, beginning force lesson. They were told yesterday by master Koth that they would start on force control today. Everyone is highly excited as they want to know what they will learn. Last year the aspects of the force where discussed during jedi philosophy and now they will get their first experience with a different field. They had spent last year mostly on the common years of the force.
Arriving at the classroom Anakin can already see master Koth waiting for them. The younglings all move towards their plans and sit down. Before master Koth starts with the lesson everyone is talking to each other. A few minutes later master Koth clears his throat and the room is silent in a second.
"Today we will start with force control. The first power you will learn from the control area is force speed. First we will go over force control itself and then I will explain force speed to you all. Practicing it will be something we will do during tomorrow's lesson" master Koth says and they spend the entire class on the subject of force control and force speed.
Six months later the next tests are taking and a year from now the next ones. Anakin gets good scores from both of them and his meditation got even better than it was last year. Zak is among those who have trouble with lightsaber training and now that they have free time Anakin is helping him to get better at it. It is something Anakin enjoys as he likes helping others with their troubles or problems. He feels then that he is doing something important.
"That's good, Zak. You are getting the hang of it. Keep it up" Anakin says when he sees Zak execute a sequence the right way. They spend the remainder of their free time practicing it until master Nagia calls them for diner. They hurry towards their group before the younglings are moving towards the refractory for today's diner.
